The NHL has returned.

And it's time to get back to work.

This is the hockey show.

T diciendo Nettie Hunchero.

So how you doing?

Davidesome looking to hockey news,

rows is in the shipping container.

Ethan is in the video room.

My name is Roy Bellamy.

You can check out the fall any show on Youtube at the hockey show.

DLS on TikTok at the hockey show seven and on X Instagram and threads at hockey show DLS.

The big story this week is Cindy Crosby is going to miss a month.

Congratulations, right?

I don't wish injury on anybody.

This is massive for the Pittsburgh Pinguins.

He got checked by Rackle Guter's against the Czechs during the quarters.

It was during the quarters, correct?

Yeah, because you missed the semi-final and you missed the last two games.

So it looked like a knee injury.

It's a lower body is what the Pinguins are saying.

They have 25 game, 24 games left.

No, 25 games left.

25.

And they ended up winning a game last night and I should know

because I had a bit on them to lose and that really was disappointing.

But the Pinguins are...

Did you not hit your 10-legged parlay?

Hey, listen, you got to do something with these $1 bonus bets, all right?

All right, that's true.

Yeah, so anyway...

Turn your dollar into $1.50.

All right, so for the next month, the Pinguins are going to be without the captain.

What are you doing here?

What's going to happen here?

Because they are holding on tight to a second place in the division and to a war card spot.

It's at the 4 last night, it was a point difference.

Still.

Still a point difference.

What's going to happen here?

What's going to happen?

Pittsburgh's going to have to dig deep.

They're going to have to rely on their new gold-tending star Spencer Skinner.

Spencer Skinner.

What happened?

Wow, five dollars.

Yeah, for some reason, I've been thinking about Spencer Night all morning.

Yeah, you know why?

Because last night during the Star Spangled Banner, during the Maple Leafs Pantist game,

for the first time, there was no night said during the night portion of the Star Spangled

Banner.

We all just lifted each other.

Did that really just not happen?

Can't believe that happened.

I can't believe that happened.

But anyway, as you were saying...

Yeah, no.

I mean, obviously, Star Spangled Banner has been lights out for the penguins.

They've got other players that have been playing well for them, if Danny Malkin obviously

having a solid year for the pens, but it's tough, right?

Because they've got 72 points, 71 points is Boston in the final wild card spot, and then

there's a lot of teams that are making a charge right now, Washington, obviously, trying

to push up.

Columbus and Buffalo could be playoff teams this year, really.

Like, what the hell is happening to the world right now?

I know.

Now, the pens are so lucky they're in the Metro division, guys.

They are just the luckiest team in the world that they're in the Metro because the Metro,

if the Panthers were in the Metro, they would have...

They would be in the playoffs, basically, because of what's going on around there.

The pens are just...

I don't know how they're going to survive without Crosby, like he's basically been lugging

them into the playoff picture this year, but no, that was very unfortunate.

I was very surprised that the reception was so good for the Olympics, even despite...

Hold on, let me rephrase that.

What I meant to say is a lot of people during the Olympics were saying, oh my God, NHL players

are never going to go back to the Olympics again because Sydney Crosby has hurt, but I don't

think I've seen a lot of reaction like that since coming out of the NHL.

I think this was a major success despite the fact that Sydney Crosby got injured.

I really don't think the injury front in this situation was as bad as for Nations last

year.

Well, comparable, I guess, because there are several guys that are a little banged up right

now coming back from the Olympics, but to Ethan's point, I don't think anybody cares.

It was just so awesome, the best on best.

These guys knew what they were getting themselves into, so it is what it is.

You got to deal with it, and I think that's better than not having it at all.

Just interestingly, Ethan, as you talked about how Pittsburgh is so grateful to be in the

Metro.

If they were in the Pacific Division, they'd be in first place.

Yep.

Yep.

There was some conference outside of Colorado was bad.

Colorado.

Minnesota.

That was pretty clear.

Those teams are awesome.

The Central Division is a gauntlet.

The Pacific Division is a wild card division right now.

Yeah.

The Panthers would be in a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Yes.

They would be in the final wild card spot.

Are we expecting another Eastern Conference team to win the Stanley Cup this season?

Not necessarily.

No, I don't think so.

I mean, it's not going to be a gauntlet in the West, so it's going to be a lot of weary

teams out of the East.

I do agree with you, Roy, that there's going to be a bit of a gauntlet, especially in

that Central Division, right?

But I think whoever comes out of that will be so battle tested that they should be the

favorite no matter what.

First of all, there are the three best teams in the league, basically by points percentage

except for Carolina and Tampa.

There are three of the five best teams in the league.

And I think once you get through that gauntlet, like we've seen with the Panthers the last

few years going through Tampa and Toronto and Boston and New York, like the most battle

tested team is the one that I think should be the favorite going into this Stanley Cup

final.

And you know, you see with Carolina when they have these cake walks through the Metro,

they end up, you know, going through the team in the Atlantic and they get swept.

Like I think the West should be the favorite.

I think the Stanley Cup champions coming out of the West this year, if it's not the Florida

Panthers.

I think they get out of the division, the two divisional rounds and get into the conference

final.

And there you go.

The playoffs this year.

I mean, it's still, you know, we still got 25 games left, but just looking right now,

like if the playoffs started today and all the teams that are in that have not been

in in a while and vice versa, like Seattle, Utah, Anaheim, Buffalo, Islanders, like those

would all be playoff teams right now, Montreal, who hasn't, you know, they, they squeaked

in last year, Detroit, who hasn't been in the playoffs, like what, seven or eight years.

So it's going to be fun, it's going to be non-traditional, which is what we like when

we just see something, you know, we might actually not see the Oilers and the Kings, which

I think based off last night would be good for.

Yeah, that would be good for everybody, wouldn't it?

Yeah, but to one last night, can we please get the Oilers and Ducks?

I don't know if you guys watched that Oilers Ducks game or if it was a highlight the other

night.

Those two teams, I love watching those two teams.

They're such high event teams and I love watching the Ducks.

Please give me the ducks in the Oilers and the playoffs this year.

Yes, started today.

You'd have it.

Yeah.

Yesterday, we saw a lot of apologies or attempts at justification for laughing or reasoning following

that a stupid joke that the president made our fuse.

I can't believe I said that.

No, I'm like, didn't that's the president?

Anyway, that Trump, the joke that Trump said following the gold medal win for United States,

I'm on the side of the women.

The men screwed up in my opinion.

Now, Brady Kitchuck is looking like a complete fool as the White House kind of retreated

AI video saying that Brady Kitchuck said some things like maple syrup-drieking-

Negative things about Canadians.

Negative things about Canadians.

Where he lives and he's a captain of the Canadian team of the Canadian capital.

Yeah, and that's what happens when you are a pawn in a political game and you revert

to show whatever I'm on the side of the woman.

That's another complete embarrassment, reporters.

Because they asked some stupid questions and we'll get to one later in wins and fails.

But this particular question, a couple of doosies went towards Maclin, Celebrini, and this

is how it sounded.

Would you do it again in four years?

Would I go back to the Olympics in four years?

Yeah.

Yeah.

What?

No, no.

No.

That's just dumb.

There's another video.

I hope there was context to that question.

I'm sure there was, but there's another question that was levied to Maclin, Celebrini,

and this is how that sounded.

Matt, do you have any empathy for the United States?

Have it once?

It's 1980?

Miracle and I, so it's a lot of the excitement here in the United States that they're

after.

That's your chance.

No.

No.

I mean...

No.

No.

What are we doing here?

I saw a picture of the scrum in the San Jose that was taken by one.

I think somebody in their front office posted it that there's usually like two or three

people, but there was like a good eight or nine at that strum.

And I, you know, we saw the first practice back at the Panthers facility that we were

there for.

There was a lot of people at that one as well.

But you don't have to force feed these guys, these questions.

Like I get trying to get good answers out of players and I think you're going to kind

of poo poo on me later on for something that I didn't lock room recently.

But I just like this, is he 18 years old still?

Yeah.

He's 19.

19 years old.

Thank you.

But yeah, it's old enough to drink in some countries.

Also, old enough to drink in Italy.

Would you want to do the Olympics again?

Is the most ridiculous question to ever ask an Olympian?

I don't care if he had a heartbreaking loss in the overtime.

Like these kids have been dreaming of this.

They're entire lives.

The kid is 19 years old.

He's in the second year of his career.

He's going to be the star or one of the stars because McDavid and McKinnon will probably

still be there in 2030 in the French Alps.

He will be one of the stars once again of team Canada and Matthew Schaefer.

We can not forget about Matthew Schaefer as well.

Hopefully Jacob Chikren will be there as well.

But anyway, Sam Reinhardt as well, hopefully he'll get more of a fair shake if Canada goes

in a different direction from John Cooper in 2030.

But I mean, to ask the kid who's 19 years old if he wants to play in the Olympics again.

And then do you have any empathy for the United States?

Like, no, of course not.

I just got my heart ripped out.

Like, that's the most...

It's like asking a guy that just got broken up with, do you have any empathy for your

ex?

No, I'm good, dude.

My heart is out of my chest right now.

Like...

Unless he chats.

Unless he cheated.

You know who you asked that question to?

You asked it to, like, Dr. Reagan.

Do you ever want to go back to another Olympian again?

You asked it to that steer who, like, I cheated on my girlfriend and she broke my heart.

You asked Lindsey Vaughn.

Do you want to go back to the Olympics?

No.

She retired, though.

I just go back to the men's and women's team thing real quick.

Yeah.

I just want to give you real quick.

Like, go ahead.

I can make it quick.

I just want to cut the men's team a little slack.

Like, the...

I mean, I don't because it was an ugly look for them.

Of course.

Of course.

But I think that I don't want to make them end the victim here inevitably.

Their actions have them in this situation.

But it felt a lot to me like a bunch of guys laughing at a boss's shitty joke and they've

done a really good job.

Not a real...

Not a great job, but I think Jeremy Swaman, Charlie McAvoy, Jake Sanderson, some of the

guys have done a really nice job of saying, we're sorry.

We should have acted better.

We shouldn't have done that in that moment, you know, and we apologize looking back at

it.

But I think I want to shift the focus now to the women and the men and what their achievement

was and Hillary Knight and Taylor High C and Megan Keller and so many of the girls on

the team, Abby Murphy, have said, we want to focus on what we did, what we accomplished

together and these teams accomplished something amazing together.

We should focus on that.

Yeah.

Half fun at Flavor Flav's party.

You guys deserve it and you guys are going to have fun.

A props to Flav, by the way, for Flav is the best.

That was really cool.

Absolutely.

Like getting everybody to come to the other, make something happen for the way.

That was pretty cool.

It's going to be...

It's going to be much better than eating McDonald's in a shot.

No.

I heard the women had like fresh pasta with Stanley Tucci, like you can't beat that.

All right.

It's not for the Panthers then.

The Panthers won five, the one against Toronto.

Yes they did.

It was a complete travesty out in that ice for the Maple Leafs.

They did not deserve that.

We're not game, although they were on a tail end of a back to back.

They lost in Tampa.

Now they lost to Florida.

Now they get the go back home and face the wrath of Maple Leafs fans.

Other Panthers will play the Buffalo Sabers tonight and then they will go on a four game

road trip starting on the first.

They play the Alliders, Devils, Blue Jackets and the Red Wings before returning home.

The Grand Moshan had two goals to assist for their hands home in Dull.

So you get Baroski, the 28 saves on 29 shots and your boy, Evan Rodriguez, a goal in

his nine shots and goals, seven of those shots.

In the first period, he had more shots in the Maple Leafs in the first period.

Yeah.

And credit to Bob.

The only goal that got past him was kicked in by Gus Forzling.

Yeah.

He was a brick wall yesterday.

So good on Bob.

Just did the see the Panthers jump out there and do what they did.

This has got to be the theme for the rest of the season.

24 games to go.

They got to do this like 18, 19 times.

This has got to be Panthers hockey for the rest of the way if they want to really make

a run at this.

But good on them.

I feel bad for Toronto, Roy.

And for their captain Austin Matthews, who's really gone through the shitter a little

bit, got really reamed by his hometown paper for being American and being the captain

of Team America.

But they're going, they're home tomorrow for Ottawa.

So Matthews Brady, they're all going to be together in Canada.

That's going to be, that could be toxic.

Speaking of the Olympics, a reporter from the hockey news acts, the brand more shan,

what he thought about the Olympics and coming back.

And this is what happened.

Do you mind before the game when you're honoring the Americans and you guys are just kind

of watching your teammates?

Yeah.

I mean, obviously, it's, you know, you're happy for guys to have success and so it's

a good, good, uh, kind of celebration for them.

You made him sad.

I felt really bad too.

Like after watching it back last night and you guys all kind of giving me shit at the

bar for it, but, but Brad Martian is one of the most professional hockey players that

I've been around the last couple of the last year.

But, you know, he gives great answers.

He understands the back and forth that needs to happen between the media and a player.

So I felt pretty comfortable in trying to get what his emotions were in that moment,

curious to what he would have to say.

And then watching it back, like, he really looked sad and I felt really bad about that.

Like I didn't want to make him sad.

I thought he would just kind of give a good professional answer.

Like, yeah, you know, it hurt, but that's hockey and I'm a sat, you know, whatever he might

say.

But no, dude, I genuinely still feel bad and I don't like that you're shaming me for it

to be honest.

I mean, he looked completely broken.

I'm sorry.

It wasn't, it wasn't quite as bad as the celebrity any question or the question we're

going to talk about in wins and fails Dave, but it was not your finest moment.

I want to talk about one thing from this game, though, real quick, from the pregame celebration

for team USA.

Danny, we have this picture if you can throw it up here.

Look at this look that Bill Zido is giving Austin Matthews that he kind of, he can't

kind of give him a little bit of a wink, Roy, and let me tell you, if you're a Maple

Lee's fan, if you're a fan of a team that isn't the Florida Panthers, and you notice that

Austin Matthews contract is up in two years, and all the noise that's going around in

the Toronto media right now, after he won a gold medal as the captain and team USA, boys,

two years from now, Austin Matthews is free agent, two years from now, that cap is going

to keep going up.

Two years from now, Austin Matthews is going to plant in the seeds, baby, plant in the

seeds.

Do you think that Austin Matthews is going to take less than the 13.25 million that

he makes right now to play for the Panthers?

You know, when you bring logic, you know, I'm just going to cut you off right then,

you are a crazy person.

It's time for it's time for Puckluck, it's brought to you by Draft Kings, Draft Kings,

The Crown is yours.

David, make some money.

Please.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

All right.

So this week for Puckluck, only four or five games tonight.

So we're going to tackle the Panthers and the Sabers.

We talked a little bit about it.

First we're going to take Sam Bennett over two and a half shots on goal.

Buffalo gives up the six most shots in the lead, Roy.

And they give up 10 and a half shots per game to centers.

And that is the position that Sam Bennett plays.

So Bennett over two and a half shots.

He also had four shots in his last game against Buffalo.

Mm hmm.

Going to add Cardiver Hady over one and a half shots, just to give a little bit of juice

to the parlay.

He's hit that nine of his last 10 and he's averaging four point four shots over his

past five games.

Jack Eichel, the capitals and the Vegas Holdenites tonight taking Jack Eichel over three

and a half shots.

He's hit that in four straight.

It's his first game back after the Olympics, so I would imagine he's going to be pretty

juiced up.

And if you're looking for a side bet, maybe Jack Eichel at plus two hundred for any time

goal.

Rounding out the parlay in that same game, Alex Ovechkin any time point.

He hasn't gone two straight games without a point since the first two games of 2026, Roy.

He didn't have a point last night.

I think he's not too night to go, rather.

I think he's going to pick one up tonight.

Vegas just flew cross country after giving up four goals to the Kings on Wednesday.

So yeah, I'm taking Ovechkin to get a point.

Parlay odds plus five, 28.

Let's make some money tonight.

All right.

In a minute, actually, she's doing the Spanish version for her.

So it's Rosa in a new toe.

All right.

All right.

I'm not going to do the Spanish.

I'm not going to do the English because I have time.

I'm not going to do the whole point.

Let me give you the Spanish.

I could learn Spanish.

OK.

Hola, hijos.

Se acabaron las medallas y volvió el caos de la NHL.

Florida regresó como una actitud.

Marchan metió dos.

Y los pantos la prestaron si con una toronto.

Sí, celebrando la Rosalegro Limpica y luego góres en la cara.

Bosto también volvió fino a Dressorís dos goles.

Aynandos ganaron en overtime con pregueo.

The tried con Larkin, heroico en OT.

Y Pittsburgh sin crossbipero ganando igual.

Carolina sigue en modo tormenta.

Ones de joseguidos con puntos después de ganarles 5-4 a Tampa.

Minnesota no perdió el ritmo o Limpico.

Matt Bouldy dos goles y dos dazistencias.

And Luis, two hat tricks the whole way.

Caligar y ganó con doble de Katri.

Y atención que es un montón de estrío ocho.

Uno a los Kings, Magi Davis.

Putos otra vez.

Los Ángeles estaban gritando.

Fire Team Healer.

Sí.

Volvió a la NHL con violencia emocional.

No te jockey con Rose.

Porque las olimpías fueron elegantes.

Pero la liga volvió sal.

Pié da.

All right.

It's time for Rose in a minute.

Rose, go ahead.

Oh my god.

Fire Team Healer.

Fire Team Healer.

Hey, this one.

Minute evacuated with Rose.

Post Olympic return.

Hated.

The medals are over.

And the initial chaos is back.

Florida came back with attitude.

Marchan scored two.

And the Panthers crossed.

Toronto 5-1.

Yes, Olympic celebration.

And then goes to the face.

It wasn't already came back sharp.

I've been served with two goals.

The Islanders winning in overtime with per go.

Detroit getting a heroic OT moment from Larking.

And Pittsburgh winning, even without Crossby.

Carolina stays in the storm mode.

11 straight games with points after beating Tampa 5-4.

Minnesota didn't lose its Olympic rhythm.

Mad Bull, the two goals to assist.

San Luis had a Holloway hat trick.

Calgary won behind.

Calgary double.

And attention.

Hamilton destroyed the Kings 8-1.

Mac David hit 100 points again.

You know, San Julias, they were chanting fire healer.

Yes, they chose back with emotional violence.

This was one of my minute of hockey with Rose.

Because the Olympics were elegant.

But the league came back merciless.

He's got her shit down, man.

That was good, Rose.

You're right.

Good information in there.

Thank you.

Very quick.

Really.

It's a very good job.

Very good job to Rose.

He has time for wins and fails.

David, what's your win?

My win of the week.

We've got a new goalie celebration.

And it is spectacular.

I'm seed.

We have the video guys.

Happened.

There we go.

Oh, he's sitting on top of the net.

He's sitting on top.

I don't, first of all, it's this, the North Carolina state hockey team.

I don't know how he got his goalie ass on top of the net like that.

That's hard.

That's four feet in the air.

You're wearing all that gear.

So I don't know how we got himself up.

But then he used his stick.

And he reeled in his team as they came to the net to celebrate the win

that he just gave to them.

That might be my new favorite goalie celebration of all time.

It's better than the Astara branch pressing the net.

I love it.

I love it.

I love it.

All right.

My win of the week comes from the Olympics in the gold medal game.

The United States men's hockey team played in memory of Johnny Goodrow.

As you know, we tragically lost him in his brother Matthew in a car accident

while they were riding the bikes.

And they managed to make it.

They managed to win the gold medal.

And the team, not only did they do a victory lap around the ice with Johnny's

Jersey, they also brought Johnny's children out onto the ice.

And in the team photo, the United States ended up taking a picture with Johnny's

children.

And that is clutch.

That is very emotional.

And I'm actually getting choked up thinking about it right now.

I mean, that is absolutely crushed.

Oh, a clutch.

So the children are in the team photo.

And that is going to last forever.

That has an awesome thing to see.

Good job.

I United States men.

And Ethan, what is your win?

My win of the week, guys, goes to Alexander Barkhoff this week.

He spent some time at Joe Demaggio Children's Hospital.

And he's just the best.

He cemented himself once again as a South Florida legend.

As Zaz talked about on the show this week, making a seven-figure donation to the Barkhoff

Sports Medicine program.

He was up there crying out the podium.

He was just a beautiful moment.

And he just continues to be the absolute best and cement himself as such.

So shout out to Alexander Barkhoff, my win of the week.

Rosie, what is your win of the week?

My win of the week comes from yesterday's game.

I don't know if he was yesterday's games, actually.

But play that clip.

You're going to see.

That is from yesterday's game.

Okay.

I think it was beautiful.

That for everything was cinematic.

So yeah, that's how you do it.

It would be even more cinematic if the goal counted.

That goal was offside.

It was an offside.

It was just Matthew Kitchuk didn't leave his foot on the ice line enough.

It wasn't, you know, the offside was like a silly offside.

But I love the fact that the hockey world is still playing that video for us,

even though it was on a play that didn't count.

All right, David, what's your fail?

Other than that play by the May beliefs, my fail is poor Conor McDavid.

I have a little sympathy for Conor McDavid.

He got asked the pretty bad question as we talked about it.

So let's play that first and then we'll talk about it.

This is a hard question.

But, you know, Stanley Cups found Gretzky and Crosby and those guys and gold medals.

And you've been in put yourself in position and it's not finding you.

Did you think it would be this hard?

That's a nice question.

Thank you.

That's a dumb question.

At credit to my David, he actually went on to give a really good answer,

because he's my David and my Jesus.

He's good at everything he does.

I guess other than eating ketchup.

And winning.

Whoa.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, he hasn't won.

You know, a lot of MVP's.

But he's starting to make me like, when this got played for me the other day,

the first name that popped into my head and I hate to say this is Dan Marino.

Okay.

Yeah.

But Marino only played in one Super Bowl.

Two Stanley Cups finals for Conor McDavid.

Back to back.

And he's still young.

Yeah.

So, David's going to get asked these questions his whole career.

Like, yeah, you're the best.

You get paid like the best.

But are you on the best team?

And he's going to have to start to evaluate, I think.

I want to continue to demand that big of a chunk of a salary cap on a team sport where

I keep getting asked these questions about not winning.

Yeah.

So, I feel like there's going to be some existential inner workings.

He's going to have to figure that shit out because he's just, I'm sure he doesn't want

to live dealing with this and hearing these questions for the rest of his career.

The, the always the bridesmaid joke has not just landed on top of Leon Dries.

So I was also landed on said Conor McDavid as he was named MVP of the Olympic tournament

by the International Ice Hockey Federation.

Obviously, it's kind of hell about coming in on kind of what we're doing here.

And he should have been MVP was the best golter in the entire tournament.

But anyway, David, of course, earned the civil mental.

It's the second time that he's won an MVP trophy and his team did not win said championship.

So, yeah, he probably leads to the league and that.

But not only that, he earned zero points in the gold medal game.

Now, let's push aside the four nations.

The last three want to take all games that Conor McDavid has been in and sports and score

ended up posting this tweet before deleting it.

I don't know why he didn't know why they did that.

But anyway, so the last three games, let's start with 2024 game seven, zero points in the previous Stanley Cup final.

The last season Stanley Cup final, zero points in game six and in the gold medal game, no points in that game as well.

Yeah, it's been kind of a rough pass through three seasons for Conor McDavid.

Ethan, what are those games?

By the way, his team stored exactly one goal.

Okay, Ethan quickly was your fail really quick.

Nathan McKinnon, this quote was very loser blood.

You be the judge of who was the better team today after losing the gold medal match to the United States.

Nathan McKinnon played a huge part in giving up the gold in the US.

Hey, it's Mike Ryan.

And I want to talk to you about the random midweek hang that you have with your friends.

Maybe it's an NBA game.

You get a text, hey, come over.

You want to watch the game.

And maybe you're like, ah, I don't know.

I kind of just wanted to stay home.

And then you think about it.

After your buddy hits you up.

And you know just the thing that'll make that regular hang that regular midweek hang around the basketball game.

Into a special time.

Into a Miller time.

I grabbed a six pack of Miller light, said I was on my way.

And next thing you know, we're arguing about rotations like we're on the coaching staff.

Yelling about a miss call.

And the games coming down in the final possession.

There's one of those nights that you look around.

You take a sip and you think, yeah, this was the right call.

We are joined by Jonathan Zaslow.

Zaslow show 2.0.

We are going to talk about the Panthers in a second.

But first, let's start with Team USA and criticize them.

Because the men really screwed up this time.

I mean, what are we doing?

You have to defend your women.

What I lied to the women during their portion of the tournament.

And then you get a call from the president through the FBI director's phone.

He makes a stupid joke.

And you laugh at the joke, disparaging the women.

You don't come to the defense of the women.

And then the president expects the women to show up to either the state of the union or the White House willingly.

I don't think so.

Should the men be criticized?

And I know the answer is yes.

Please say yes.

I mean, should the men be...

I don't think it's that simple.

All right.

You know, if you want to criticize men, that's fine.

Obviously, the reasons are valid while you want to be critical of them.

Because in a perfect world, you would like them to not laugh in that spot

and stand up immediately for their friends.

And also, I think it's important to point out that.

And the players have talked a few of the players have talked about this over the last couple days.

Since they've gotten back to their club teams and they've been asked about it by the media,

their actions over time with the women's hockey team have shown.

Like, it's most important for those players on the women's team to feel that they are supported by the men's team.

And I would imagine if you asked them to a man or to a woman, do they feel supported?

They would all say yes.

Because apparently the relationship between those two teams is very, very tight.

And the men do support the women.

So I do feel that the women's team very likely feel very supported by the men's team.

But I think the men are in a really difficult spot when what went down went down.

You know, for one, like I saw, I think it was like I saw on Twitter yesterday or a couple of days ago

where Megan Rapino was talking about how if it was our team, I never would have allowed Cash Patel

to come into the room.

Well, congratulations.

You're a lot smarter and a lot more with it than all of those guys on the US hockey team.

Well, women usually are.

Because they're not thinking about that stuff in that moment.

Like, this really is one of those cases.

Like, I know, you know, the right wing will do a lot of the shut up and dribble.

I do think there's plenty of guys on that hockey team.

Like, they're just hockey players.

So that's their main thing.

But the point that I want to make there is this is where whoever is in charge of that scene in the locker room.

That situation there.

Right.

It's not on those players first for one of them to say Cash Patel we don't want to hear.

But besides it, that's like a really rude thing to tell anyone in the room we don't want you here.

Someone who is in charge of that scenario standing on the outside of the dressing rooms.

Like, hey, this is just for the boys.

Somebody has to protect them so that they are not put in that situation.

And we saw what that situation then led to.

So as far as the phone call is concerned, is it one of those things where it's the quote on quote leader of the free world?

And he makes a stupid joke.

So you're forced to laugh at it.

Is it that situation or is it?

Obviously, it's nothing else.

Oh, it's all of it.

Like, I'll start with the joke on the phone.

You know what it's akin to to me?

It's like when you have the player, you know, whatever sport.

And he's got the scrum of the media around him.

And he makes a joke, makes even an off-color joke.

And you get the laughter from the reporters.

Even though it wasn't even funny at all.

It's just like, there's this uncomfortable.

Oh, all right, he made a joke.

So let's not be rude and let's laugh, you know?

Well, not only that.

I mean, he says that, oh, I might be in peace.

It would be the third time.

Yeah.

So it's like, let's not be rude and let's laugh.

And I think that there's a lot of that quote.

Like, they're all excited.

They're having such a great time as well.

It's maybe the best moment of their lives.

A lot of these guys, nothing right now in this environment is going to make us upset.

This is a great, great time.

And the president just tried, tried to make a joke.

So we're going to give that a, this is the tenor of, this is the temperature right now.

All right, he made a joke.

Well, the way they get fired or not, he even let out a chuckle, you know?

Because that's the current temperature in the room.

So there's that, there's that part of it.

The second part of it, which really bothers me.

And this happened yesterday, right?

Where Brady Kachok was met by the Ottawa media.

And so it's, it's Brady's turn to, you know, have his feet held to the fire.

Because it's the first time that they're getting to talk to him.

And they're going to do the whole thing about, you know, should you have defended the women in that spot.

And this is massive because he's the captain of that club.

Yeah, yeah.

And, and, and the part that really bothers me is, and I think anyone who, who, you know, if you watch DLS,

and certainly if you listen to Zazlow show 2.0, I think I do a really good job

it's staying out of the political stuff.

It's not really my thing.

But, but this bot, this part bothers me.

Where the apparently, I'm not on TikTok.

I don't really know how TikTok works.

But apparently the, the White House TikTok count, like the official White House TikTok account.

And we know that even like the White House Twitter account, like,

weren't they the ones who put out the video with the apes and the Obama's, you know?

So there's some wacky stuff going on there too.

But on the, on the tick, right, right.

And, and the TikTok account for the White House put out a video that was AI generated

from the four nations last year, right.

And it's the two Kachak brothers.

And it's Brady Kachak muttering under his breath something about maple syrup as, you know,

pansies or something, you know.

And, and the White House, the official White House Twitter account, put that out there.

And so now, because it's, and it's AI, it's not real.

So Brady Kachak is forced to answer, answer for that and say like, it wasn't my voice.

It's not me.

I would never say that I don't like being depicted that way.

And it's like, how does, how is that okay?

It's, it's the official account of that account represents the White House.

Like, and now one of your players who are the White House is, is very proud, you know?

And, and like, are they using the men's team for the good publicity?

I mean, yes, but it just, it just shows it's, it's like, you care about these players

at all then and you could say no or whatever.

Oh, I can easily say no.

Because this player now, who apparently you're so happy with and happy for them winning the gold,

you just threw them in this shit storm that he now has to answer to because you made a fake AI post.

And it's like, why are you doing that?

But they, they eat and I mean, they, they're being used as ponds and they reap what they sowed.

No, but they, they're not looking at it like they're putting him in a bad position.

Like, I wouldn't know that.

How do they not know that?

I think my opinion is that they're looking at it from their own perspective,

which is they basically put out any piece of information or video or whatever they want,

fake real, whatever, most lately, there's been a lot of fake videos that have been coming out of that area.

And whatever, they, they just say, yeah, it was this guy.

You know, was that, like, they can literally say anything they want and they just have no repercussions.

Brady Kitschuk does not have that guttery.

He's not afforded that because he has to answer actual questions.

Yeah, that bothers me.

That bothers me.

So it puts him in a really tough spot.

And my question to you guys was like, well, the Kitschuk's are very buddy, buddy seemingly with the White House, with the president.

They seems like they're, you know, cut from the same cloth or whatever.

They're birds of a feather, right?

Is this, put, drive a stake into that relationship at all?

Is Brady like, wow, why would they do this to me?

Or is it like, yeah, it's just something cute that they did.

No, my, my guess is that Brady Kitschuk would be like, wow, whoever runs the White House official social account.

Like that person sucks, and it was super poor judgment.

And I'm really annoyed with that.

I'm sure, you know, president Trump doesn't run the White House TikTok account.

That that's probably the, the angle that they take.

But yeah, they, they clearly, they're, they're fans of the president very clearly.

And that is what it is.

You know, look, there's a lot of people obviously in this country who are fans of the president, you know?

Yeah.

And, and the Kitschuk's.

And the Kitschuk's there.

They're fans of the president.

And I really do believe like we would like our athletes to stand up for, for social issues every now and then.

But it's also really possible that those guys in that room on USA hockey like, they're just hockey players.

Well, that's it.

It is hockey players over the last few days that they've had to deal with the repercussions of that.

Some of them have come out and they've been very apologetic and they've kind of taken the responsibility like, you know what?

Yeah.

And the moment maybe I made a mistake, I'm sorry.

And some guys are just like, yeah, whatever.

Yeah, I don't, again, and again, like I don't think they made a mistake.

I don't think there was any mistake.

They weren't a bad, they weren't a bad, they weren't a spot where, you know, maybe they were being used.

And it ended up looking poorly for them.

And, and I don't think they deserve to be looked poorly at.

It's a, it's a lousy situation they were put in.

Like I said, political ponds.

That's all they are.

They put them in a spot where they can't just go on with their lives.

They have to acknowledge it one way or the other because we're all, let's say we, the media, they're getting asked about it.

I just, I don't think it's realistic for when the president makes the joke.

I don't think it's realistic that you want one of those players to like stop right there and then chastise the president in that moment.

That's why I think that's not reality.

For the people who are upset about it would be for them to say something after the fact.

As I agree with you, in that moment, it's really hard.

Yeah.

It's not going to happen.

Ethan, what do you have to say?

Yeah, I, I think guys have kind of done that.

Like, first of all, there was Jeremy Swamen and Charlie McAvoy and Jake Sanderson, who have like directly apologized.

But I do think that the narrative from the guys and from the women as well has just been.

We respect each other so much.

There's such a respect between these groups.

We celebrated together.

We had great times together after that comment was made.

And they kind of want to shift the focus back to what these teams did, right?

And Abby Murphy was on spit and chicklets this morning.

And she talked about how there's another part of that video is that there's a guy in the back going two for two, two for two.

Like, it wasn't just about what the men did and the men weren't just celebrating what the men did.

They celebrated what the women did and they did lift up the women in, in, in the moment at the games and since.

And yeah, it was a shitty spot that they were in, right?

The president makes a joke.

It kind of felt to me like my boss just made a really bad joke and I kind of have to laugh at this.

That was the vibe I got from the video, right?

Totally.

It's like my boss made a shitty joke and I've got to laugh at it.

And I think the guys have had the right response.

Would I like some more direct apologies from the guys?

Yes, that's just also because I'm a huge supporter of the women's team.

But I do think that the guys and the girl, the women as well have handled this well in terms of being like this.

Let's refocus here on what we did, which is the men won a gold medal for the first time in 46 years.

The women won a gold medal for the first time in eight years.

And it cemented themselves as the dominant hockey country in the world right now on the women's side.

And I think both sides have done a really good job of kind of reshifting the focus back to,

let's talk about the hockey and what went on in the ice and how amazing an accomplishment this was.

All right, real quick.

The Panthers, one five, the one against Toronto and Toronto.

Yeah.

Shit, last night.

What do you think about this next 24-game stretchstone with Buffalo tonight?

I'm trying to go tonight.

Everybody knows that.

Good, just get a credential.

You can't just get in the house, dude.

No, I'm going to go with the whole family.

I want to be the whole crew.

All right, we're all going to go the four of us.

But look, this right now is the healthiest.

They've been all year, minus set Jones.

So, you know, you think about how back in 2023,

there were much fewer than 24 games remaining.

And they were also eight points out.

And they made the run and they made the postseason and went to the Stanley Cup final.

And this is a much more talented team.

This is a better team than that was.

It's a super steep mountain for them to climb, but two points at a time.

Like, I don't even care so much.

Oh, they didn't gain any ground last night.

Okay, 24 games left.

Two points at a time.

And tonight's game is massive against a team that's in a playoff spot in the Buffalo Sabres.

Jonathan Zazlow.

Zazlow.

Zazlow showed two point.

Oh, thank you for joining us.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks to Jonathan Zazlow for joining us today.

We really appreciated him talking about the US team.

And, um, okay.

Now, you just played that sound over.

Like, I was not disgusted.

I was not disgusted at all about what we talked about today.

Today was a good show in my opinion.

Do you agree?

Anybody?

Please agree.

I agree.

It's a good show, but you definitely got disgusted at points.

I mean, I got disgusted at the behavior of the United States men's team.

I got disgusted at the behavior of David's work in the locker room last night.

But you really, you really made Brad Martian sad.

I'm sorry, Brad.

I love you, Dave.

I wasn't disgusted, buddy.

That disgusted is strong.

I want to take a moment if I can get the camera for a second.

Brad Martian, if you are watching this, I do apologize.

I, I don't, did not mean to make you sad.

I'm sure Adeline's showing this video to Brad right now.

Come on, Addy.

It takes strength to do that, Dave.

I will.

I will take strength.

Yeah, none of the, none of the hockey players on Team USA other than Jeremy Sramon did that.

I'll take a punishment.

I'll, you know, yes, figure something out.

I want to take a wrist shot at me when I'm not looking.

Put your hands on eyes for two minutes.

No, sharp roast.

All right.

What are you doing?

Come on, man.

All right.

Thanks, Brad.

Thanks to Danny as the video director today.

Thank you to Rose and Ethan for doing everything to make us sane and actually professional today.

That was, that was clutch.

Now, you're off next week, but we're still going to have something for everyone, right?

Yes.

We have the lead actor to the reimagination of Youngblood.

If you remember the 80s movie Youngblood starting Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves,

there's a remake of the movie and starring Ashton James and he's going to join us and we are going to air that interview next week as that movie is released on March 6th.

That was great.

Don't miss Ethan's question.

Was the best one?

Yes.

Also, thank you to Percy.

She's under the desk.

Thank you to her as always for working so hard on the show.

She's taking a well-deserved nap.

That's great.

So should I.

We have to wrap.

I'm trying to.

Thank you, David.

My name is Roy.

We will not see you next week.

We will return sometime in March.

I got to look up the day.

We will return March 13th.

Another Friday the 13th.

The Hells Roy won't this year.

I don't like it.

That's backpack months.

We will see you if we don't get killed by Jason Fouries.

If we don't get killed by Jason Fouries,

If we don't get killed by Jason Fouries, then....
