I know what it is. I know what it is. I'm looking at my set up and going in the middle. I think you can go back. This is a way. Has to be. This is where I see the Jack. And I know who's... Oh, hot Mike Steep.

00:02:29

Look at all these new members. Good stuff. Is it sane? Is it possible? Yes, sir. Oh, You're live. I'm live. Oh, I'm looking at the wrong one. I'm out of practice. I stink. Hi. The Cassie clan, alive and well to start things off with a 50-piece Yannis Satentakunpo in the NBA final. 50-piece dropped on us, 50 gifted memberships Caught me off guard. It's not how I usually start these streams. Jeff, also with five Sdp and memberships gifted, the way I usually start these streams is... Yes. Yes. Yes. We're back. We're back, baby. Another year, another season here on the Sdpn YouTube channel. I'm fired up. How can I not be fired up? My wife just brought me in Advil. How can I not be fired up? Thank you. I love you. The kids behaving? Okay. Thank you for that. I just did drugs on camera. I did drugs. These are all going to get clipped. I'm hype. They just showed Canada winning the gold medal in the men's 4x100 relay. I'm hype. Blue-white flame, gifted five SDPN memberships. Thank you. Hey, listen. Hey, hey. Steve Dangle here. Welcome to the SDPN YouTube channel, and another year of Saturday Night Watch-alongs.

00:05:06

We like to have fun here. Tonight, you're going to be watching me, watching the Toronto Maple leaves take on the Pittsburgh Penguins. First hockey night in Canada this season. Now, some of you in here are going to be like, Oh, that's great. This is just like what Steve did at Sportsnet, and you're going to have the game on the screen, right? Wrong. And the reason why is because we are not the multibillion dollar rights holder of the National Hockey League. But we're the next best thing. Some guy in a basement. And I think that's wonderful. Producer Hayden on the back end of all this, making things happen. Producer Drew watching from home, even though he shouldn't be. Nervously. Like an overattentive parent at the park, just helicoptering everything. And he's in the chat. He said, If Sid hits 1,600 points a night, which is two points away, Steve eats a mustard cupcake. Thankfully, I don't have mustard or a cupcake in my house, so I won't be able to do that. Listen, some of you are like, Oh, hey, Sarah. I miss my goofy people, too. If you're like, What's all these memberships? I don't get it.

00:06:41

I don't get it. You get your name in green if you are a member. You get special emotes and stuff in the chat if you're a member. And most importantly, you get access to SDP VIP on YouTube. Sdp VIP. So every week we do three episodes of the Steve Dangle podcast. If you're an SDP VIP, we do four. We do a fourth episode every week, usually not hockey related, but sometimes we cannot help ourselves. Rachel Bishop, listening from the game tonight like a crazy person. You'd be amazed how often I get notifications from people saying they do that. Blue White flame, thank you for including. Do you have a humiliation kink in the LFR? That is all Drew, baby. Cassie, start the count. I'll be in and out of the chat. Logan Barube dropping a 50 piece. There's 50 gifted Sdpn memberships. You beautiful, beautiful. William and Bing. Luc Vela, SDP VIP. Do it, just do it. Pre-ordered the number one best seller in sports humor last night, says Lockheed. Shut up. Cassie, Cid, 1,600, and Gino, 500 goals. He's two away from that, as I am reliably informed by producer Hayden. This is the year from Austin.

00:08:11

That's what Hayden said as well. You liar. He doesn't believe that. Robert Malloy, helping me out with the lines. So tonight for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Brian Rust has been activated off injured reserve. Bouvillier Crosby Rust is your top line. Bunting Malkin Raquel is your second line. O'connor, Eilher McGroady, Hayes, Glass Achari. During preseason, I A lot of the penguins bottom six, getting a lot of flack. It's not the best. It's not the worst. On D, Gryslick Littang, Petterson Carlson, Graves, Saint-Yvanie on the back-end. Blomquist. Is it Joel Blomquist just won his first NHL game the other day. He'll be the starting goalie for the penguins. 50 saves incoming. Leifs lineup. It looks like Is Tavares officially out of the lineup? Here were the lines at Morning Skate, and I think it's going to be... He's officially out? Yes, he is. Thank you, producer Hayden. So the lines are what they were at Morning Skate, which Jessie Blake was at because Sdpn now has credentials for the Toronto Mapleeefs. Isn't life so grand and so silly? Nye's Matthews Marner. That stays the same. Mcman Holmberg-Kneelander Two-thirds of that line was like the fourth line last year.

00:09:49

Patcheretti Domi Robertson, that is the wee line that I think is going to have a lot of fun because they're at home and you shelter them and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah You in. Yes. Yes, I am. Jim Eaden, welcome to SDP VIP. There's also SDP VIP ad-free, where you get all three episodes of the Steve Dangle podcast, plus the VIP episode, and you get the three regular episodes of the Steve Dangle podcast ad-free. Oh, Jessie Blake, I believe, is at the game tonight. Where's he sitting? The press box. The life of a credentialed reporter, am I right? Death Cedar 91. Welcome back. Pre-ordered your new book on Kindle. Congrats on the new release. Thank you. It's my understanding that a lot of people who pre-ordered it are already getting it. At very least, the people who pre-ordered from Amazon and Chapter... Or not Amazon, sorry. Chapters and Indigo. I don't know about Amazon. I know it's in stores, and I went to the Ajax store yesterday, and I signed 108 copies. So if you want to sign copy, go to Ajax. There's a bunch. I went there today. Cassie said, Steve, would you like a dad joke?

00:11:38

Always. Absolutely. Zinc gifted five SDPN memberships. Let's go. And by the Anyway, if someone gives you a membership and you saw who it was, thank them because they gave you a month of SDP VIP goodness. And once your free month expires, you should consider extending it. If you're looking for VIP content that we had throughout the summer when you weren't an SDP VIP, you are actually able to listen to all that. To all that. So I believe our Frank Corrado episode was a VIP that was behind a paywall. Our Michael Boubley episode was a VIP episode that was behind a paywall. So if you're a VIP, you can check all that out now. They showed the Canada 4x100 relay team before the game. It was one of my highlights of the summer. All those guys had terrible individual Olympics, and they absolutely rocked it when the moment mattered in relay. I love track, dude. I love track so much. Cassie, why do Flamingos only lift one leg? I don't know. I know why they're pink. It's because of the shellfish that they eat. That is why the Flamingo is roughly the color of a shellfish.

00:13:27

Learn that from the zoo. They're showing the... Oh, this is going to be a long intro. I got a tap dance for a while. They're introducing the medical staff and everything. Yeah, we do have a stat sheet for that reason. You're right. I was looking for... Oh, Pistle Pete still on staff. I love that. I was looking for someone who either is with the leaves or was with the leaves has a private practice in Durham region that I went to, and he's a big part of the reason why my back doesn't hurt anymore, or as often, I should say. Why do Flamingos only lift one leg? Because if they lift it two, they would fall. Shut up. That is no business being that good. Mike Van Rijn, Mark Savard, they're showing all the coaches and everything. I'm very interested in how Lilligran is going to react. Craig Berube, Five subs for every Penguin's goal. Let's go. That's from Ty Smith. Can't wait to get your book signed in London. That's right. I'm coming to London. I think that's November third. Kelly Yarncroke, Connor Duhre. Oh, Yanny Hakenpa. This is like the first time I've seen him at a leaf thing.

00:15:12

That's a gorgeous man. Hey, Dakota Murmus. I had no idea who that was. Timothy Lilligren. Oh, the camera's not even on. Oh, there he is. He looks very sad. Fraser Mitten. They don't have the crowd miced up, which makes the silence sound deafening. I could tell people are cheering for Joseph Wall, but you can't hear it. Cassie said, I'm with you, Ty. Let's do it. I love it. All the memberships Oh, and now it's your Toronto Maple leaves. Let's get in share it with Hayden's little stat pack that he put together because he is the best. Penguins at Maple leaves, all put together by producer Hayden. Noted, Minnesota Wild fan, boo and His, Chris Tate, I love you. The last time Toronto lost their opening road game, 1-0, was 1967. What did they do the other day? They lost 1-0 on the road, 1967. The Leaps are undefeated in home openers in the Matthews era? Wait, no. 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. They've won eight straight home openers? Oh, yeah. An eight no record, outscoring their opponents 36 to 23. That's psychotic. Great stat. Great damn stat. Austin Matthews has scored eight career goals in eight career home openers.

00:17:23

Among those eight games, Matthews has three multi goal games. I believe he had a hat trick last year. Matthews has six goals, nine assists, and 15 points versus the Penguins in 19 games. Crosby, who has gotten to play against some pretty bad Leaps teams, has 29 goals and 39 assists for 68 points versus the Leaps in 53 games. To be totally honest, I thought it'd be higher. Leaps are 31, 24, and 7 against the penguins since Crosby's debut. That makes no sense. Leaps are 13 and 11 against the penguins since Matthew's debut. This is the first time since the '68, '69 season that the Mapleies faced the Pittsburgh Penguins in their home opener. Wow. And the score of that game, it was a two-two tie on October 16, 1968. And he has the scoring summary. That's some psycho stuff there, producer Hayden. Billy Dee from Noel Price and Earl Ingarfield. Larry... Yeah, that's a very old name. Larry Mickey from Pierre Pilotte and Dave Keon, Wally Boyer from John Pronivost, and Mike Walton tied it in the third period from Larry McKee, who had a crazy night, and secondary assist Tim Horton, as in actual Tim Horton.

00:18:54

Now, I believe they're about to announce Austin Matthews as the captain for the first time. Ekman Larson. This is usually where they bring out the leadership, but I don't think John Tavares is playing. Alternate Captain, Mitch Marner. Big ovation, big ovation, big ovation. Alternate Captain, Morgan Reilly, big Ovation. Big ovation. Big ovation, big ovation. He's been He was with the team for 12 years. 26th Captain of your Toronto, Maple Leaves, Austin Matthews. Did they just not announced Tavares, or was he with the injuries? And I just missed it. I might have just missed it. This is a big deal. It's always Habs sends, Habs sends, Habs sends. Crosby. Crosby is a massive deal. And I'm glad the Lefs have him for the home opener. Jesse Blake at Morning Skate this morning, and he's at this game. That was the first thing I said. I wasn't like, Oh, I'll breathe in the Leifs locker room. Well, not breathe it in. It's disgusting. But you know what I mean? Like, breathe in the moment. No, it had nothing to do with the Lefs locker room. I'm like, Dude, Sydney Crosby is in the building. You have to go I talked to him, and I believe he did.

00:20:46

They're showing Crosby's first hockey night in Canada game right now. He scored on the flames. I believe that's Mika Kiprasov. I Honestly, honestly, honestly, of any non-leaf, I think one day I'll write a book that's just about the leaves. But if I were to ever do a book about any non-leaf, I think it might be Crosby. I love the guy. He's two points shy of 1,600. Oh, yeah. Tony Hand. I could also do. Thank you, producer. Shut Yo, a Tony Hand book would be super interesting, I think. So, hey, you could play in the NHL, but you chose to play for like five dollars in Britain for three decades. Why? We got Anthems. There's Crosby. Crosby is going to sleepwalk his way into elite company. Well, further into elite company, I should say. The squeezeable Double Lemon gifted 20 STPN memberships. Thank you, Mr. Or Ms. Lemon. Jessie's Pizza Box. Leaves could learn from the habs and sends and have lit up boards. Anything... Oh, I forgot. Sorry. I got to adjust because you left a very long comment. There we go. Leaves can learn from the habs and sends and have light boards. It's anything to hype up the intros a bit.

00:23:02

They have the money. It's dull. You know what? That's fair. Vancouver has that, too, and they've had it for a while. I've always loved it. Cassie, there are so many good stories about Sid. Penz just released a video yesterday that was having Sid watch videos. This is a long one, too, of fans saying what he means to them. Did he cry? Or was he just a unfeeling hockey-playing automaton? Years ago, I did that thing where I said, I only need 30 seconds with Crosby. Can you please say Phil Kessel is a Stanley Cup champion? And they didn't believe me that I was only going to do 30 seconds. And then I did, and it was a funny bit, and it's a funny story to tell. And now I'm a little And what was that? Seven years ago now or five? I don't know. And I'm like, Man, that was pretty stupid. You could have had a few minutes with Crosby, and now I don't know if I'll ever get that opportunity again. It's a funny bit for sure, but I could have done the bit and then spoken to Sydney Crosby at length. Oh, well.

00:24:27

Ziga said, Can I buy A signed book from the EU, Slovenia, specifically. I believe you can off Amazon. I don't think Indigo ships that far. I think your only option is Amazon. I'll get some more clarification on that from my publisher. Anthony Stollers. He's got such a good kit, the All Blue. I feel like Peter Mrazic had a great kit that he performed horribly with. Here we go. Crosby, Matthews, opening face off of the season. Saturday night watch along with Steve Dangle on STPN is underway. Crosby wins the opening draw. It's down the ice. Stalers out of the net to play it. If you're a goal tender, 10 the goal. Crosby with it behind his net. Tanev ties up his man. Shot from the point around the net. Stoller's doesn't have his stick. Where'd it go? He has it now. Matthews, Tanev, get out. Marner to Reilly, who's going to take it for a walk and tries to dump it, but a pretty good back check there. Good start for the penguins. Cassie said he looked about ready to cry. You know what's going to blow minds is when Crosby retires and we find out everything about him, just because I feel like he'll start to open up once he's done playing.

00:26:16

Or maybe he won't. Maybe he'll just retire to Cole Harbor and have rum and cokes and just live the best life. Oliver Ekman-Larson. In a leaf uniform. Still weird. Holmberg, second-line center tonight. Is that ice? No ice. Jake McCabe coughs it up behind the net shot. Wide. Where is it? Oh, leaves get a bit of a break here. Partial two on one, Holmberg. Tries for the pass. A little obvious, and he didn't have enough speed with it. I feel like that Moneyball meme where Pete is showing Billy Beane, all the players and what... Okay, this is the defect with this player. Craig, this is Pontus Holmberg. He hustles. He has an unbelievable engine and good hockey sense. His defect is he only ever plays with one hand on his stick. We still streaming? Uh-oh. Okay, I'm live. That's odd. No, one of my other things died. That's odd. Okay, all fixed. I don't know what happened there. Tony Lee, first goal tonight. Robbie, just because he was on the screen. Robertson, although he's in the defensive zone now, and we don't like that. Noel Achari, a relief, who I still miss. Puck on. It's in the corner.

00:28:34

You know what? Robertson and his line can't get out of their own zone, so I don't know. I don't know about my pick right now. And that's going to be a problem with this line. It's not a good defensive line. If they're in the offensive zone, there's a lot of potential there, but they got to get there first. Big stop from Stollers. I love this goalie. Stop on Eric Carlson, I should say. Someone get after it. Oh, man. And Timmins is out there, too. This is about worst case scenario for the Leaps defensively. Robertson, horrible shift for that line, but they get out of it. When Woll comes back, and Sorry, from Robert Bett, When Woll comes back, and I love wool, but if he gets hurt again and Hildeby keeps playing great with new management, will they say enough is enough and keep Hilde and trade wool? I mean, maybe, but like, wool is a three-year contract that's about to kick in next year. Paying them, I think it's 3.6 million a year. Oh, no. Almost a good chance there for Pittsburgh. Reeves finds his way back in the lineup. This is the first time this season Reeves and McManor We're in the lineup at the same time.

00:29:50

It's game three. Penguins are relentless on the four check to start this game. Nye's, Reilly, joining the rush with them. Click like, click subscribe, tell all your friends. Gosh, darn it. Matt, Matthews and Nye's causing havoc in the corner. Mitch waiting for the puck to squirt loose. Nies to the point. Reilly, talk, boys. Been thoroughly unimpressed by first line so far this season. This is only period number seven for them. Solomon, Hey, Steve, what are your favorite movies? Is Moneyball one of your favorites, or is it just a running joke? It is a running joke. I like Moneyball. It's fine. It's not one of my favorite movies. Penguin's with it. Oh! Doesn't make its way through, but goes over the blue line. Really like Goodwill hunting. Super bad. I know those aren't the same at all. 300. Bobby McMahon. Oh, he gets stripped to the puck. I know I said Robertson for first goal. I wanted to say Bobby McMahon. Willy, I mean, is a good pick. Holmberg was almost a good pick. Willy with the fuck again. Willy dancing. Shot. That goes around. Stop by Ekman Larson. Shanks it to Holmberg. Knie later. Oh, shoot that.

00:31:35

Bang. Mcman in the corner. Great shift here from the second line. Willy. Ekman Larson. Ekman Larson. Bang from the point, Jacob O'Keefe. That goes wide. Patch ready on the ice. Craig Berube very wisely Getting the third line out there with sustained offensive zone pressure. They spent their whole last shift in the defensive zone. This one looks better to start. Penguin steal the buck, but they're exhausted. Patch is on. Stopped by Blomquist, and we get a whistle. We need to clap at the next drop of the buck. I forgot we don't have the game clock. Not this week. Next week, we should. What about Monday with Adam? Doubt it? Okay. That's okay. It's the beginning of the season. We're making adjustments on the fly. Austin Royal. Steven, thank you for Seth Jarvis. That is all. I had nothing to do with that. I didn't think it was smart. Wes. Hey, buddy. Welcome back. Hi, Steve. Super happy to have your watch longs back. Can we get a, Let's go! Yes. I already talked about the movie one. Steve, during a dull moment in play, please count down the clock a few seconds to help sink. I will.

00:33:32

Sorry. I didn't realize. Consider buying Hockey Rants and Raves. It should be at a bookstore near you. They're at all the Indigos throughout the GTA. They received them a couple of days ago. So So it's out just a little early from the October 15 release. I know it's in Calgary. A lot of people are picking up their pre-orders already. Very happy. Producer Hayden gifted five Sdpn memberships. He's working for free tonight. Let's go. Hi, Lily. My niece is watching. Oh, Robertson. Almost had it. You almost made me look like a genius. They're in the offensive zone in the third line, gets the Ozone start. I think that'll be a theme tonight. Patches. Passed to no one, unfortunately. Leaps got to be a little more aggressive in their support. Lily, say, Steve. Say, Steve. Oh, oh, penguins. Here's that third line again. Oh, boy. I think Baruba is going to get sick of this pretty fast. Robertson tries to negate the icing. It doesn't work. Cassie, Tried to bathe my dogs earlier in my 70-pound Husky mix. Oh, football tackled me. It made me hit My head on the floor. Well, that's not good. I wish that didn't happen.

00:35:34

That's not allowed. But also been there. My dog broke my nose. Domi with a face off in the leaves end wins it back. Reilly to patches. Robertson is going to put pressure on this buck, and I think the leaves are going to go for a line change. Robertson looks like he's going for a line change right now. Seven minutes gone in the first period. 12, 55, 54, 53, 52, 51, 50, 49, 48. Is that helpful? All right. I forgot to clap. Here comes Matthews, two on two with Mitch. Taken off him by Beauvillier. Matthews tries to take it right back, but Beauvillier is supported by Lataing. In front for nice. Felt his knees, couldn't quite get it. Ekman Larson on high. Leaps have been sniffing around the net. Marner and Nye is trying to get around the linesman. Or was that the ref? Sorry, people are very particular. Was it... Oh! There was a chance in front. Holmberg has been All around it. Holmberg, McMahon, and I believe Willy will be joining them. Reilly out there. Shot. Man, the leaves top four looks different, eh? It's not a perfect roster. I mean, I don't know a roster that is, but boy, that top four looks way better.

00:37:21

Penguins in the leaves. Oh, no. Petterson. In the corner, Raquel, leaf killer over his career. Ducks picked him with a draft pick that the leaves gave him. Whoa. Yard sale in front of the leaves net. Penguins at the point, Carlson. That one goes wide. Name tags. Welcome back, says, No matter who loses tonight, Dubas wins. I don't even understand. Nobody knows what it means, but it's provocative. We got a whistle in play, 11:06 to go. Do you feel confident in Stoler's not blundering when he comes out of the net to play the Puck? More or less confident than previous years. I haven't decided. I haven't seen enough of him. Touch and go so far. I like him in the net. Okay, face off. Puck is about to be dropped. 11:06 to go in the first period. Puck is... No, no, no. Fake drop, fake drop. Here it is. 11:06 to go in the first period. Sink it up. Now, Puck There you go. Penguins, they hold the line there. Ref says yes. Eler in the corner. To the point. Shot on. Penguins trying to get a lot of shots from distance on Stolers. Stop by Stolers.

00:38:50

He handled that one funny. Bell goes, Would that be two minutes for roofing? Awful. Simply terrible. Cassie, you should kick him out. What a song. Electronica version of Adele? Going on in Scotiabank right now? 10:46 to go in the first period. We're waiting for a whistle. Ref keeps faking me out. Dropped. That is my least favorite thing about having a clap, is the gosh darn refs being cute. A battle for possession going on here. Mccabe, big collision there. Crosby was waiting for it. Marner gives it to OEL on the breakout. Oel in there with not Ries. Something old, something new. Reeves out there. I don't think the penguins have a heavyweight in their lineup who would go Reeves. So if he wants to have some fun, he can. This is a partial two on one for the penguins. Benoît back, and they're going to call a trip on that. Yeah, Benny doesn't like producer Hayden doesn't like it. Even Craig Simpson not loving it. Does he get the fuck? You know what? It's a penalty against Salif. Bad call. We're in commercial break. His third penalty of the season. He started last He doesn't like this.

00:41:02

Welcome to the Simone Benoît experience. We love him, but we go, Benny. Brother Alan, hi from the UK. Hello. Oh, my goodness. What time is it? Thank you for your awesome show. If no cap issue, what one player is the key to a Leifs Cup? You mean an acquisition at the deadline or They're like, now. I'm going to say Chris Tanev. They've never, on any of their Matthews era playoff runs, brief playoff runs, if you could even call them that, they've never had a player close to Chris Tanev. Speedy Vee is back. Costco Gravy. Sure, why not? Whoa, Steve Judge Canada Bray gifting 50 SDPN memberships, you beauty. Thank you. Wes Richard gifted five Sdpn memberships as well. Look at us go. Look at us go. Hey, if you got gifted a membership, you thank whoever gave it to you. I'm doing the 100 emojis. Oh, that's going to come up as Sdpn. Doing it because I'm on the back end of the channel. Sorry. 9:56 to go in the first period. Penguin's first power play of the game. Puck is about to be dropped. Put the camera on the face off. Put it on the camera.

00:42:44

There it is. I wasn't fooled by that. I knew the ref wasn't dropping it. Crosby gets kicked out, and in his place, Malkin. Stop it. Puck has dropped. And Steven Lawrence gets it down the ice. Alex Rayou, hi, Steve. Hi, SDPN crew. Greetings from Switzerland. Hello. Leaps have killed 15 seconds worth of this penalty so far. I thought LeTang might have been offside there. Penguins handle it in the neutral zone. It was close. Difficult to tell because it was in midair. Letang with it at the point. That goes wide. A couple of deflections there. I know people are down in the penguins, Adam especially. I look at them on paper, there's no reason they can't make the playoffs. Latan! Wow. With a shot like that, you should be able to do okay. Blass it. With 902 to go in the first period past Anthony Stollers, and it's one, nothing. Penguins. Luke Mallet, gifted five STP Hilton memberships. Thank you very much. This is just no one picks up LeTang. I think Mekabe completely took Stollers' eyes away. Yeah, Holmberg seems to realize that's his guy, and he's pretty pissed about it. Leaves down 1-0 somewhat early.

00:44:40

Cassie and Ty Smith gifting five as to you, but you've been each for the Penguin's goal. Thank you, you cheeky jerks. Steve, we've been through this. It's Richard, not Richard. Damn it. I'm not I'm not going to lie, I forget. I do remember asking a hundred times last season. I'm going to say Richard. Benoît, Up the Ice, turns it over. Patch already. This third line, trying to get it out of their own zone again, goes up and out of play. 8:23 to go in the first period. We're waiting on a face-off here. Oh, Crosby got an assist on that one. So Cassie wisely, pointing out that that's point number 1,599. And if Mike Babcock was his coach, he'd sit him right now. Puck has dropped. Penguins behind the leafs net. Leifs I don't even know what this line is on the ice. Kampf, McMahon, Neylander? Oh, Holmberg's off because I guess he was just on for the penalty kill. Boy, Like, Neylander can't play center in this scenario? Really? Domi? Well, I guess Domi is playing center. I Apparently, when you have an $11 million player out of the lineup, even if he's not worth $11 million anymore, it really hurts.

00:46:39

Good moves from Malkin there. He's picked off, though. Mcmahon, slick pass to Willy. Can't get around Graves. Jaymax, Steve, would you ever consider a monthly wrestling podcast, possibly with Adam Copeland, if he's willing? I've never approached Adam Copeland. I'd do it, but resources and all that. Leifs, Benoît, Nies. Boy, they're just not looking dangerous. Penguins hit the fuck ridiculously high in the air, and they're called for the high stick. That was a really bizarre decision. What was that, producer? What was that, producer? Hayden said he'll produce it if we do a wrestling show. There you go. We can't afford not to do it. It's built in. We already know everything. I wonder if Eric Young would do it. Whoa. So penguins flub it. Leifs counterattacked. Can this first line get anything going? Matthews, Marner, Marner passes to some shins. I'm trying not to pick on the Okay. Stop by Stolers. The whole first line's first couple of games together. It's funny. When they're on the ice individually, they look fine. Boy, they've been unimpressive as a trio. Really unimpressive as a trio. And like I was saying on the podcast, with Marner, he's passing. He's passing.

00:48:48

If you have a three on two or a partial three on two like we just saw, and it's Matthew's Marner and Nye's bearing down on you, and Marner has the buck, rejoice. You know exactly what's happening. You want to move from Domi. Oh, my God. He broke someone's ankles. It's a shame it didn't lead to anything. Six minutes ago in the first period. So Malkin got an assist. He's at 1299 points. Crosby is at 1599 points. Thank you, producer Hayden. West Richard, gifted 10 SPM memberships. Oh, it's Richard as in rocket, but you are forgiven. West Richard. Michael Borland, when you guys got credentials, was there a reminder to not cheer in press row? No. The Leaps would not give credentials to anyone they thought would do that. Yes, I'm a huge fan, but I know how to turn it on and off. Been doing this for quite a while. Ekman Larson on, stopped by Blonquist. Mccabe with it at the point. Oh, I don't know about that past Ekman Larson. What was that? Even Ekman Larson standing there like, Why did you give me that? Now it's on from the penguins. Now all of a sudden, it's the other way, and it's dangerous.

00:50:15

And Leaps are not playing particularly clever hockey right now. Lawrence, Puck taken off him. Offensive zone possession is two minutes 50 seconds for the Leaps to 4 minutes, 36 seconds for the Penguins. Not good enough. Belgos. I had to miss the Penguins' preseason game here in Sudbury because I was sick. That sucks. Mcmahon chasing after his own pass. Holmberg in front of the net, eager to make up for his penalty kill. Puck in front of him, but not onto his stick. Malkin to bunting. Tanev breaks up that pass to Malkin. Carlson, fake pass on. Lots of traffic in front. Wish the Blue team would try it. Penguins, Rust, can't handle that. Under four minutes to play here. Willy, move your feet. Shot high. Dude, I hate the way they're playing tonight. Willy. Oh, my God. He's had a horrible start to the season. Letang. Stop by Stolers. Will it casual? Un unbelievably casual. 3:15 to go in the first period. L'tang. Rust. Here's the first line again. Mitch, No support. Penguins have the puck. Offensive zone. Matthews has to block it. Mitch and Nize. Here they come. Mitch circles back, brings it around. Mitch kicked out of the zone.

00:52:24

Nice. Matthews! Shot stopped. There you go. Holy Holy cow. Something, anything from this line. Ackman Larson, looking good until the puck hops over Domi's stick, and that'll be icing. 2:24 to go in the first. Everybody clap your hands. Blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip. They're actually not playing that in the building. It was just in my head. Good shot from Matthews. Blunkwest didn't get much of it. Here we go. 2:24 to go in the first. There you go. Puck has dropped. Leef struggling to get it out. New look line here. Marner. Oh, it's an icing. I was like, Why is Marner with Domi and Patch already? Because he has no choice. Domi, Patches. Marner coming off, I believe, for Robertson. There he is. Domi behind the net with it. Tries to get it in front. Can't do it. The leaves can't hold the line. They do have possession, though. Benwa dumps it. Two bucks, two goals for the Habs. His crash test fetus. Thank you. Stoller is out of the net to play it. Oh, no. Mccabe has it hop on his stick or something. I don't know what happened.

00:54:14

Reeves blocks a Carlson shot. That's a crazy sentence. Chips it up the boards. Lawrence after it. Drive in the net a little bit. Oh, it's a Reeves. Reeves. Keev. Reeves. Maybe the leaves best chance of the game outside of the Matthews one. I thought Reeve got a shot and hit a skate. I like the creativity from Steven Lawrence. And we got a commercial break here, the last one of the first period. David Owens, how long do you think Barubey puts up with the Newlander before a healthy scratch. I think we're a ways away from a healthy scratch, but he's playing like garbage. He looks casual, disengaged, irresponsible. This guy's making eleven and a half million dollars right now. And I got to tell you, these mistakes are a lot less cute than they were last year when he was making 6.9. This leaves forward group is making more than were last year with no real additions beyond Patchereddy and Lawrence, which is less than two and a half million dollars combined, or less than two million dollars, depends who you ask. And part of the reason why this forward group looks the exact same and costs more is because a bunch of guys got a raise.

00:55:57

But am I talking about Max Domi getting a $750,000 raise? No. You lose Tyler Bertuzzi. Willy is getting 11 and a half, and last year, he made under seven. You have to be better. Or at minimum, you got to be what you were. And he's not even that through seven periods. Cassie, thoughts on the Pens and Lefs so far? I think the Pens are playing a good game. I like this goalie, too. The leaves look horrible, completely disconnected. They got a graphic on the screen. Goals through the first two games of the season from Marner Matthews and Neylander, nine last year, and 14 points plus six. This year, zero, zero even. Yeah, six of those goals were all Matthews. Hayden remembers that because I think game number two was against Minnesota. No? Maybe. Mike Buchana Matthews' Hattrick incoming. I hope so. That line's playing like crap. We're back, by the way. 1:05 to go in the first period. Penguin's errant pass ends up deep in the leave zone. Good play from Achari. God, I missed this player. He makes too much, but I miss him. Marner giving chase. Can't steal it. Mitch passes it back.

00:57:33

Good read there to OEL. Good read from Mitch. Mccabe with it. Corner. No support. Willy, get in there. Joyless hockey. Bend your knees. Oh, my God. He's driving me nuts. Domi in there. Thank you. Someone, anyone. And here come the penguins. Horrible. This is a bad first period. Turn over here. Neylander. Domi. Tie it up. Mcmahon! Stopped by Blumquist, and oh, Neylander down. He gets up. He was just having a rest. Three seconds to go here in the first period. What happened there? Mcmahon stole it off rust, and Neylander takes it. And McMahon got back into the rush. Wow. Good little shift there from McMahon. Dave Glatz, show and tell in intermission? Maybe. Why is Domi in the one-timer But that guy stick as a noodle, and no one's there. Yeah, it's a stupid setup. Honestly, I'm going to be totally honest. Leaps being down one nothing after that period is a blessing. They looked terrible. That was a bad first period, man. That was real bad. Blunkwest, good for the penguins. Leaps did make them work a little bit, but for the most part, that was a whole lot of puck watching and puck chasing.

00:59:15

And hopefully, Craig Barube says, K, so no more of that in the second period. I'm Steve Dangle here on the SDPN YouTube channel. Click like, click subscribe, tell all your friends, become an Sdp VIP, and consider Becoming an Sdp VIP ad-free. Abby says, Any chance to virus's illness is more widespread in the team. Maybe that's why they look slow, not trying to make excuses, just looking for a reason. A lot of people are going to jump and say that's an excuse. You're probably right. That is always the case. My daughter is just getting over a fever. My son was just sick, and I think he's sick again. My wife was sick. I'm not allowed to get sick. I'm too busy for the next two months. But one thing my wife does is, Oh, where do you think she got it? The world is where she got it. It's impossible. It's so difficult if you live with someone who is sick to not get what they have. You have to be so hyper vigilant. And if you have a baby, forget about it. So Tavares, three kids at home. He hangs out with a bunch of dudes all day.

01:00:41

Hockey players interact with more people day to day than you're average office worker, right? You might be like, oh, yeah, we're all on the same floor and sharing that air. No, he's in the same sweaty dressing room as all these dudes spitting and breathing on each other. I wouldn't be shocked at all if half the team was ill. I understand. West Richard, you missed my last super chat. Well, I'll have to go back and check. You gifted 10 SDPM memberships. It's Richard as in the rocket. You are forgiven. Steve, we've been through this. Are you sure I missed the last one? I think maybe you missed me not missing it. No, Abby, that's a great point. And producer Hayden, can you remind me of that? Just for the LFR. It's a really good point. Cassie, Jerry lost his net three games into the season. Not great. Trade wins. Trade wins a blow-in. You know what? I think... Hello, Adam Kerr. I think I would like to take a wee break, so we should show a video. What is our first intermission clip today? The first clip is Shisterken Contract Talk. It's 11 minutes, 45 seconds.

01:02:23

That's such a good break. All right, let's go. Let's go. So we are going to throw to the Steve Dangle podcast, myself, Adam Wild, and credentialed media member, Jesse Blake, talking about Igor Shesterken, turning down quite the offer from the New York Rangers.

01:02:43

T When you look at that, when you look at that number for what this guy brings, perennial Vesna guy. I can understand in the least situation, you got two guys that are unproven. You're not going to pay a lot of money for that. Perennial Vesna for the last half decade.

01:03:02

Swayman just got eight and a quarter, and he hasn't been a starter for a full season yet. Yeah. I mean, Jesper Wallstatt got 2.2 million dollars yesterday. You know how many NHL games he's played? How many? Three.

01:03:17

Jeremy Swayman has started 125 games total. I'm just looking up Igor's stats just for that. And Igor has started 208. But I'll tell you this, the numbers are sparkling. They're crazy. In the last three years, he's up over 50 games each year.

01:03:36

Two appearances in the conference final.

01:03:39

I think the one thing that happened in the most recent memory is Serge Borowski, who the stat everybody loves to yell at least fans when somebody hosts the Stanley Cup is that-67. Nobody ever with a double- It was three-one. It was four-one.

01:03:56

Steve, let him...

01:03:57

Nobody ever with a double-digit player on the roster has ever Hosted Stanley Cup. Then it happened with Jack Eichel in Vegas when they did it. Then this past season, we saw the first team ever with a double-digit goal tender host the Stanley Cup. You think about how important Barbravsky was to that entire playoff run and how it didn't matter that over the last few years, he's lost his job and then got it back and then lost it and then got it back a few different times. When the push came to shove during the playoffs, it was the most important thing to have Brovowski, and they still managed to build a team around him. It wasn't like he hamstrung their salary cap and they couldn't do anything else. They still built a Stanley Cup winning team.

01:04:33

Also, I mean, Kutrov and Vasilevski winning back-to-back cups 9.5 each.

01:04:39

Yeah, but if you're putting a bar on the actual double digit number, you got to cut it off somewhere. Yes, I agree. If you just keep scaling back the number, then you just get to any number. That's why I put the bar there.

01:04:50

You know what?

01:04:52

But Vasilevski is a great example as well.

01:04:54

Well, to Jesse's point about not rounding up, how many career games does Mike Modano have?

01:05:00

1499.

01:05:01

Not 1,500, right? To that point-Vasileski adds to the argument.

01:05:05

Thank you. Agreed.

01:05:06

I think, obviously, the Rangers are about to go through a mega shift. What I love about this is this is a confluence of events that work so much in Igor's favor. You're talking about UFA, you're talking about crazy numbers, you're talking about double conference final appearances in the last three years, but also you're talking about, and Jesse mentioned this in the season preview, this is a last dance team. After After this year, you're going to have a lot of change in New York.

01:05:32

They're going to be fine. They're going to be fine. Going forward, but they do have to change.

01:05:36

The one thing that can be the sure thing that you can absolutely build around, you've got some great young RFAs, and I get that. Nobody is on Igor's level. If you could solidify that position, everything else can fall into place afterwards.

01:05:53

He has a lot of leverage here. I mean, Jesse, you have them winning the Metro?

01:05:58

No, I have New Jersey winning the Metro.

01:06:00

But first or second. First or second, yeah. They're coming off a President's trophy win. They went to the conference final. We could easily see them at least back there.

01:06:07

I picked them to win the Stanley Cup.

01:06:09

Put it this way, his number is not going down. You offered me 88 million in October? Oh, all right. Okay, we'll be back. We'll let you know what we think.

01:06:24

The follow-up to Kevin Weekes' report that he turned down the eight years by 11 million was from Cam Robinson, who said that Igor wanted less years, and that might have been the sticking point on the contract, not the $11 million in that he wanted more. It might be that he wants 11 by 5. Because he's smart. And the rangers I want him for the eight years. He wants 11 by five.

01:06:47

If he wants 11 by five, you sign that before he realizes how dumb that is.

01:06:55

Well, because goal-tending is a tricky position.

01:06:58

How old is Igor Shesterken?

01:06:59

He is right now 28.

01:07:03

There you go.

01:07:04

I think you sign an eight-year deal if you're 28. If you're 25 and you're Swayman, it's funny that Shosturken wants the shorter deal. Swayman wanted the longer one. If I were them and I was looking at it just for me and not being an athlete or whatever, never being in that position. I would just switch it around. If I'm Swayman- You sign five and take your chances as the Rangers. Well, I think absolutely you do. With Shosturken, though, I look at that and I go, Why do you not want the eight five years. It's likely because he knows that over the next five years, the cap is probably going to go up about $20 million, and he could be leaving $10 or $15 million on the table. However, if for whatever reason, injury, anything else can happen, especially into your early 30s, slow down in performance, it may not even end up mattering. I can understand why New York wants the full eight years because they want some cost certainty there as well. I mean, it's cost-certainty, it's expensive, but At the end of the day, I think it benefits both sides to go eight years here, whereas Swayman, I would have been like, Do three or four.

01:08:06

Here's the tweet from Cam Robinson, just so we get it out there. Piggybacking on Kevin Weeks' post on Shesterken, I was told recently that Igor may be more keen on a shorter term deal. Five years, question mark. If New York wants eight years, they have to seriously break the bank.

01:08:24

Oh, man. Because that's going to be, let's say the number is 13. So he's got to go-For the eight years?

01:08:32

Oh, my God.

01:08:33

Well, if it's 11 for five. So let's arbitrarily throw 13 out. Boy, it's going to be 36 or whatever, I think. Yeah, 36. Yeah. Making 13 mil.

01:08:47

There's ways to get around that.

01:08:50

You're a groin injury or a knee injury.

01:08:52

Then it doesn't cost you anything.

01:08:56

Yeah, it's the rangers money.

01:08:59

Cary Price is just sitting around.

01:09:01

No, but there are players who find themselves in the not injured enough category where they're just bad. They're playing. They're just not what they used to be.

01:09:12

I think that's eight years from now's problem. What if we got a Stanley Cup? What if we got one in that window? I don't care.

01:09:19

Listen, you lock this guy up, you 100% lock him up. But I think if he wants five, you give him five. You don't worry about the eight.

01:09:26

If you look at it, too, you don't worry about that. You're absolutely be right. If it costs a disgusting amount to go to eight years, then just don't do it. But I would say he's doing the Rangers a favor by going five years. I really do. I think so. Their window is going to be at least five years. Well, I don't know. I actually don't know what next summer looks like for New York. It doesn't mean they're not going to be good. I have to look at their prospect pipeline, which I don't have in front of me and that thing. But I would say that there are some potential big veteran pieces moving on here. When you look at, Oh, my God, you're sterking at $11 million. That would be crazy. Listen, he's going to be the only guy making that. And what's going to be easy for the Rangers is filling out the rest of the roster. Problem with Toronto, to bring it back to us because it always does, is now we've got four guys making over 11. It's too much. And so that's where you find some roster issues and you have to sign Tanev to a much longer term than you perhaps wanted to keep the AAV down.

01:10:29

You lose out on a guy I like Matt Roy. Careful. Matt Roy, who if you'd been able to kick in another quarter million, you probably would have had.

01:10:37

We're getting into, how does this affect the least territory?

01:10:39

But I'm giving the best comparable that I can, which is teams with over $11 million on the book. The only other teams that have that are... It's Colorado. Wait, with what? Who's got more than $11 million wrapped up in a player?

01:10:56

Oh, in one player? Yeah, Colorado. Edmonton has two. Yeah. Or no, they don't have two.

01:11:01

They don't because Leon- Next year we have to. Yeah.

01:11:04

It's not a very long- It's not huge, right?

01:11:07

No. I don't know. I look at this and go, Okay, if you're the Rangers, just take the five years, get it signed. Happy dance. Go into the school. And you're the Rangers. He's also still making 5 million this year or 5.5. Which is stupid.

01:11:18

That's a crazy deal. But you're the Rangers, you're always going to... You don't have to worry as much as some other teams in this league about attracting free agents, and you're definitely not going going to have to worry about the cap space to do it. Panarin is going to age out of his deal, and that frees up 11.6 million.

01:11:38

Which I think he's been pretty good on that contract.

01:11:41

Yeah, his playoffs have been come see, come saw, but They're going to have to turn over the core. If they're lucky, they'll be able to do something like what Dallas has done, where they had Bawelski for a while. He obviously just retired. Sagan, Ben, those were their big money core guys, and now they've been replaced by Hints and Robertson.

01:12:08

And you're expecting the next generation. There's another way.

01:12:11

They have three generations, well, as athletes go, of guys, and they're all still there. It's not like they've left except for Pavelski. So I think that's what the Rangers, if everything goes well, could expect.

01:12:27

Yeah, I think you're going to see a Jake Truba trade this I think, too- There's another one. The fact that this is out there tells me that they're talking a lot.

01:12:37

I think it gets done.

01:12:38

I think it gets done pretty much. I think it needs to get done before trade deadline, because if you're the Rangers, you need to know. I think you need to know how for it are we going to be and how much is next year going to cost. If we are acquiring somebody, what's it going to cost to keep them? What's the acquisition cost?

01:12:54

I wouldn't be overly shocked if we wake up tomorrow morning and there's a deal.

01:12:59

Well, actually, you know what?

01:13:01

Precedent with Swayman. Oh, this is going to go to December first, which means it's happening in two days.

01:13:06

To be honest, I think it'll happen as soon as Jesse drops the show this afternoon. Oh, shoot.

01:13:10

No, that's way too quick.

01:13:13

That's way too quick.

01:13:14

Yeah, it's just the way it goes.

01:13:15

All right, welcome to Greta. We have breaking news.

01:13:17

You guys want the most fun stat on all of this since we're talking about rangers goal tending?

01:13:21

I know you love this.

01:13:23

Since 2005, the 2005-2006 season, either Igor Shesterken or Henrik Lundquist has started at least 30 games for the New York Rangers. I hate it.

01:13:38

Go away. Isn't that crazy? Okay, What?

01:13:45

Since when? 2005, 2006. I shouldn't say started, played. At least 30 games for the New York Rangers.

01:13:55

So every season, Since Ovechkin and Crosby joined the NHL, the Rangers have had a top five goalie of their generation in their lineup.

01:14:09

In their lineup for at least 30 games.

01:14:11

How they ever missed the playoffs in that time is shocking. They did have some shocking with that team.

01:14:15

Remember the letter?

01:14:16

Oh, I remember the letter.

01:14:18

The letter was a big deal on this show when it came out about how they're going to rebuild, and they did it super quick.

01:14:23

They've been on a bunch of runs. They haven't gotten it done, but they've been on a bunch of runs. It's not for lack of What a great clip. Steve Dangle here, STPN YouTube channel. Joretortle with a really funny super chat saying, You may not have missed his comment But you did miss mine. So let me scroll up to that. Is it just me, or does it look like bad ice? My God, the puck is bouncing, and nobody can get a decent touch on the thing. It's possible, dude, but penguins look all right. Their passes are connecting. They're shooting. I think the leaves are playing really, really poorly. And if they're sick, I think this period is going to dictate how I feel about the game. Because producer Hayden goes three nothing period incoming for the Leaps. And honestly, I feel it. It wouldn't be the first time they played a complete stinker of a period and then followed it up with absolute domination. I want to say they were... Weren't they one of the best third period teams in the league last year? They were pretty strong, or not third period, sorry, second period teams in the league.

01:15:52

We're a team, dude. We're a team. Tara Bernard, SDP, VIP, ad free. Chris Mr. Bennett. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm going to click heart on that. There's some Trivia. We have Trivia. Let me see. I wonder if we have time. Let's try it. Oh, are we coming back to game here? Yes, we are. So we will save the Trivia. For later. Shots were 10, 6 for the Leaps, officially, but attempts were 24 to 16 in favor of the penguins. That's much more along the lines of how it felt. Leaps had to block 10 shots to the penguins, three. And the Leaps just weren't in the offensive zone. Let's see a better period of hockey from the Leifs. They're showing Morgan Reilly when he was drafted in 2012, and now he's a dad, and that is unbelievable. Are we lad all grown up? You know what? I think I think he's really going to thrive as a dad because Morgan Reilly has been a dad in a young person's body for a very long time. Dad energy, for sure. He's always sick of this nonsense. And the puck has been dropped for the second period into the leaf zone.

01:17:53

Marner, double team there. Crosby comes out with it. Ouel comes up with it. Oliver Ryan Larson with Morgan Reilly right now. Interesting. Matthews hooks it to Marner. Wasn't a great pass. Nice. Tries to keep it on side, not quite able to do it. Marner hooks it. I think that might have hit Matthews in the helmet. Yeah, Puck bouncing all over the place again. Hit the ref skate. I mean, if the ice is bad, they just cleaned it, so it ain't going to get better. Oh, Leifs, two on 0. Domi to Nylander scores. Will he like that? Will he like that a lot? What even happened there that led to And by that, a turnover from the Pittsburgh Penguins led to a two, nearly a three on O for the Leifs. Malkin Oh, not a great pass to his teammate, Domi to Nylander. Domi sold shot the whole time, and everyone in that building knew he wasn't shooting it. Great. Pass, play, everything from Domi there, and William Nylander with his first of the season after what I thought was a horrible first period from him. So that had to feel good. Hopefully, that goes to his legs, the whole team's legs.

01:19:27

And maybe Hayden was right. Less than a minute 50 seconds in, to be exact, the Leifs tied at one. Penguins right back to work in the offensive zone, though. Shut. Up and over, which is difficult to do with Anthony Soler's in net, but they pulled it off. The CJ Show chat is lighting me up right now. I said, Marner has been bad, but Willy has been horrible. Jessie goes, You were saying, and CJ just goes, Neil Anderson I'm getting chirped by two people who are in the leaves press box right now. Shut up. Great point, producer Hayden. The first leave goal During Jesse's tenure as a credentialed member of the media is William Neylander. Perfect. That was Robert Malloy? Of course it was. I I say, of course, it was for you. I say, of course, it was for Robert. We have a good team, man. Good roster. Chris Littang, Return to bench. I didn't realize he was not on the bench. Oh, that's a pretty needless icing. Tanev returned to bench. Were those two just late? I think it was a skate issue. He's smiling. That's why Reilly was out there with Ekman Larson.

01:21:01

I didn't even have time to be like, Oh, that's weird. Nice. Taking the face off against Crosby. He does not win it. Sorry, that was Holmberg. I thought it was weird that Nijs was taking it. Robertson, out there for the block. Leaps have a wonky group out there because of the icing. Stollers, good save. Penguins keep it on side, though. They shoot. Oh, Crosby got dumped into the leaves net, and I think he smashed his head off the camera. Stop by stolers. I think he had his head pretty hard off the camera that's in the net. No icing there. 17:30 to go in the second period. Matthews chips it out. Rust returns. Turns. Matthews taking his time with it, gives it to Tanev, puts it up the ice to Mitch. Mitch brings it around the boards. Nies can't get to it, but Riley does. Raleigh on through traffic. Rebound, scores. Matthew Nies, his first of the season off a bounce, and the Leaps have taken the lead. Hayden, one more, one more. We're less than three minutes into the second period, and the Leaps are up to one after being down one-nothing. Oh, boy, Crosby comes so close to scoring there.

01:22:45

Holmberg absolutely buries him in the Leifs net. I think that was a bit of a fluke the way it happened. Marner rings it around the boards. Good work from Nye there to get it to Reilly, bounce off the boards, and Nye's just cleans it up. I don't know if Marner might be getting a secondary assist there for his first point of the season. Not sure. Reilly's definitely getting one, and Nye's obviously got the goal. Cassie saying, Lees better not hurt, said, he looked fine. He looked fine. He's okay. Buck has dropped 17 minutes, 16:59, 16:58, 7:06, 5, 4. There you go. For everyone who wants to sink their stream. Nye's from Marner and Reilly. All right. So a few very important leaves getting the monkey off their back to start the second period. Penguins, though, with it, shot, blocked by Ryan Reeves. He's had a couple tonight already. Kempf. No, no. Penguins again. Shot. No. Reeves He moves, collects the rebound, airmails it for Steven Lawrence. Blomquist plays it so it won't be icing. Lawrence giving chase. Creates a turnover. Domi in there with Neylander. Lawrence heads off. 16:05, 04, 03, 02, 01. Sixteen minutes to go in the first, sorry, second period.

01:24:30

Domi digging in. I do not have my yelling, screamy voice yet. I can already feel myself going horse. Neilhater, want to feed over to Domi. Show. He went for the pass shot to McMahon. Penguin's ruffing up McMahon for running into the rookie goalie, but I think there's going to be a penalty here. I don't know if it's going against the leads for goalie interference of the penguins for ruffing them up. So they're giving it to McMan for goalie interference. All right, let's see this. I mean, he did I'm trying to demo him. You know what? He tried to create contact with Lata. That's fair. That's fair. But he's not... It wasn't with the intent of running the goalie over. He's like, Oh, I'm about to get a goal. But penalty nonetheless, Penguin's second power play of the night, 15:37. To go in the second period, Puck is dropped. Penguin's one Number one on the power play. Leifs' penalty kill looked so good in the preseason. It hasn't been great to start the regular season. Matthews gets it down the ice. Matthews and Marner to start the penalty kill. Every Every time that happens, the broadcast points it out.

01:26:02

They were on the penalty kill a bunch last year, Marner especially. Not all that often together. Malkin, stripped by Matthews. Good play there. Malkin. Carlson. Skips over Crosby's stick. Oh, boy. Letang. Oh, they got the Leaps running around. Crosby stopped by Stollers. Penalee is half dead. And the penguins look pretty good so far. Moving it around. Very well shot from Carlson. Where does that go? Oh, I don't know how that bounce. Stollers has it, and now it's the Leaps who are saying, Stay away from my goalie. You know why I'm going horse? So I lost my voice like crazy. It was like after game one of either the 2022 series against the Lightning or the 2023, I can't remember which one. And Rodi Walker from Protest the Hero, lead man, front man, reaches out to me, and he's like, Do you do vocal warmups before your stuff? And I go, No. He goes, You I should. And I started doing it, and it made a difference. But I got out of the habit, and I need to get back into it. Leaves clear it down the ice. 43 seconds to go in this Penguin's power play.

01:27:43

Seriously, before every stream, I'm. Penguins gain the leave zone under 30 seconds here. Stoller's out of the net to 20 seconds to go, and McCabe goes up the ice, tried to create some offense there. Almost a two on one. Nye is chasing after. It gets a stick held. Not long enough for a penalty. Final 10 seconds of this power play. Pens try to make something happen. Reilly tries to break it up, dumps it down the ice, and that'll do it. Started a little hairy, but that's a solid kill. Tony Lee, Nye's over under 23.5 goals this year. He had 15 last year. I'll take the over. Of course I will. You know what's funny? I wasn't even doing a bit. I caught myself after. Do William Neylander... I don't know if it's the New Jersey's, or either Willy lost a bunch of weight, or he's got new shoulder pads. We are in commercial break right now, everybody. How many people are watching right now? I don't even have the counter in front of me. Click like, click subscribe. Tell all your friends, all of those things help SDP. How many? One thousand four hundred thirty-six.

01:29:17

Let's go. I should retweet. I'm not here to get into a political discourse, but I do just want to say, Elon Musk has ruined Twitter, and And hey, you ever build up a quarter million followers on a platform, and then the guy who bought that platform loses their mind? It sucks. It sucks, actually. Hey, you ever put a lot of effort into doing really well at something, and then that something is garbage? I just feel like not as many people use it. I know the numbers keep going up. I don't believe them. As a guy who needs to have success on Twitter, professionally, no, not as many people are using it. I can I'll tell you that for a fact. Warrior Wamp, Steve retweeting, he refuses to call it X. I do. It's Twitter. Call it X. Bite me. No. All right, we're back. Puck drop? Fake puck drop. 13:27 to go in the second period. There you go. 114. Puck has dropped. Leaps led the league in second-period goals last year. I knew I wasn't crazy. Said that earlier. Marner with it. Into the zone for Niz. Boy, Niz looks like a totally different there.

01:31:16

It didn't lead to anything, but I really like him. Marner. Good foot there to help stifle the breakout for the penguins. They still come up with the buck, though. Crosby. Marner all over him. Good from Matthews. Good from Reilly. It took three guys to get the buck off. Crosby and the penguins still have it. There you go, Matthews. Matthews coming up the ice. He's got Nye's. Nye's chips it deep for Matthews, knocks Petterson off the park with ease, and then turns it over to Malk, and that could have been such a great play. Leaps in the middle of a change. Mccabe. Robertson off the glass. That was pretty nifty. Mike Schmidt, rate my fantasy hockey name. Willie Mays here. It's only good if you yell it every time. Willie Mays here. Love that. No, I like it. I like it. Blue-white flame, gifted five SDP in memberships. I love you. Stollers, boy, he really likes to play the fuck, eh? Bunting on Stop by Solars. We got a whistle with 11:57 to go in the second period. Bunting has been a good little Penguin. My wife just asked me if I saw a cute picture of my niece watching the stream, and that's how I know she's not watching the stream.

01:33:01

She's watching that Which Show, the WandaVision spinoff. It seems like a good show. I don't know. All I do is watch hockey. Holmberg. What? Pat? I don't know how to begin to describe what I just saw Pontes Holmberg do. Puck is in the Penguin zone. Is this a different-looking line we got here? It's McMan, Humbert, Pacheready. So was Domi with Willy then after that goal? I guess it would make sense. I mean, the lines they were using in the first part, not working. Leaps deep into the Penguin zone. Holmberg. Tana, up the ice. Here comes the least fourth line. Camp, around, around. Triple-teamed. Could have done better with that. Here come the pens. Graves. It looks like it could have been offside. Oh, Penguin's trying to throw it in front, but Tanev's there, and I love him. Reilly, who, I'm not going to lie, is playing like a man who's a lot more comfortable. I think he was dealing with some injuries last year, and also he was dealing with not having a great D partner. Oh, dear. Okay. Puck is offside. Reeves, that's a decently long shift for him, gets to the bench. Mki Sports, which teams would you call the Dark Horses this season, Steve?

01:34:56

Glad to come back here after a few months. Cj just I sent to the CJ Show chat feeling pretty good about my Utah playoff pick. Dude, we don't know about so many of their players because they've been playing in a broom closet. Don't underestimate icing on the penguins with 9:46 to go in the second period. Don't underestimate a bunch of players who worked their whole lives to get to the NHL, then playing against NHL opponents for two years, and then having, finally, after those two years, NHL resources. You know what I mean? They've barely been an NHL team. It's a wonder they won any games. Puck is dropped. Penguins come up with it. 9:40 to go in the second. Yeah, Barrett Hayton, Dylan Genther. Some really good players there in Utah. My brain has to keep adjusting to Utah. Max Domi to D-Lander. Holy smokes, what a pass. And stop by Blumquist. That's at least his second nice shoulder save of the game. Another icing against the penguins. Yeah. Keep these two together. Holy crap. Holy crap. That was nasty. Oh, it hit Blumquist in the mask. The Penguin's starting goalie is a guy I've never heard of, but he's pretty good.

01:36:41

Leaps off the draw. So this is Willy with Domi and Robertson. Shot from Timmins' rebound. Into the corner. Leaps can't come up with it. Does Timmins hold the line? Ref says no. And we got a commercial break. The CN Tower crowd shot. Can I tell you guys something corny? Just something super lame, and I don't care. So I have climbed the CN Tower twice. I did the stair climbs. First time I did it, I think it was just under 19 minutes. Second time I did it, it's like 16 minutes, 40 something seconds, so a little under 17. And every time I look at the CN Tower now, I'm so proud. I'm so proud. Every time I look at it, I go, I can't wrap my head around the fact that I climbed that thing. And I did it twice. And the second time, I did it pretty fast. Also, I'm stupid because I trained the second time, and I get to the bottom of the stairs feeling really good about myself. And I'm like, All right, here we go. You've been training for this. And then I get to the bottom and I'm like, Oh, I don't remember how I paced myself last time.

01:38:18

And so I'm like, Okay, I'll just go as fast as I can for as long as I can. I'm gassed, and I mean gassed, by the 20th floor. There's 144 floors I was grabbing the railing, pulling myself up. Under 17 minutes, though. I was pretty happy about it. Edwin Bear. I totally do vocal warmups before I stream. There's a lot of free vocal warmups on online platforms. Guessing baritone for you. Just search baritone vocal warmups. Have a great season. Yeah. I don't know. Am I an alto? Alto. I don't fucking... 9:05 to go in the second period. Puck is, we're waiting for it, dropped. It's still Neilander out there with Domi and Robertson. Oh, Leaps can't get that shot through. They definitely look better in the second, and it's not just that they have two goals. Robertson. Puck rings its way around. Mccabe. Oh, cleaned out. Three on two for the pens. Great play there from Benoît. Penguins flubbed that. Wide of the net. Leaps doing a great job blocking shots the night, doing a bad job at preventing the need to block shots. This line has been out there for a while. Not looking good, folks.

01:40:09

Around the net. Domi. Good battle to Willy, and Willy and Robertson are dog tired, but they're going to pretend like they're going for offense. Willy just dumps it into the corner as they all switch off. Pinch gutter. Your auto sounded shockingly like Adam. Did it? He's an auto, right? I don't know the difference. I didn't pay enough attention to music. Fourth line. Reeves tries to go to the point, but he's picked off. I just heard a very loud F bomb. Reeves Tries to get it to one of Lawrence or Camp, and he didn't get either of them. Puck ends up in Reilly skates. The passing has not been good for either team, I think. I think we've seen enough of this game that we can say that pretty confidently. The neutral zone passing. I think the offensive zone passing has been good for Pittsburgh. Oh, nice. What a move. Shot. Ekman Larson wide. Who was that with the cheeky pass? That had to be Mitch. 6:50 to go in the second. Marner keeps it in. Nies to Matthews. Matthews to Marner. Shot. Looking for a tip there from Nyes. Doesn't get it. Ekman Larson Timmins.

01:41:47

These two together, two guys who can really move the buck. Timmins holds the line. Leaps had a lot of ozone time here. They've probably already had More than they did in the entire first period shot. Mccabe can't get it through. Timmins. Do they have McCabe and Benwawa together? Nice. Oh, tries a nifty play on Crosby. It doesn't work because it's Crosby. Mcmahon. Two Matthews at the point. He's been out there a while, and he's switching off now, finally. Reilly waiting for reinforcements. They arrive in the form of Pontes Humberg, under six minutes to go here in the second. On. Mcmahon doesn't get the tip that he wants. Humberg to Reilly. Blocked. Penguins look exhausted. And a penalty is coming, and I think it's coming against It's going to patch already? Oh, brutal. They're saying he got Saint Eveny in the hands, and I'm pretty sure they're right. Boy, that's a terrible, terrible spot to take a penalty. Offensive zone, you've been in there for a minute. That's a rookie. A dog tired. Oh, boy, boy, boy, boy. That's a brutal penalty. Matthew Brown. Steve, I wanted to say thank you about your optimism about the hurricanes here in Carolina.

01:43:27

Like you, I was very optimistic. After the home opener yesterday, that optimism took a big hit. A lot of work to do. You got to remember, it's the beginning of the season, man. Beginning of the season. Panthers, I'm pretty sure, are... Aren't they getting their butts kick tonight? It's early, man. Lockheed, Sabers are beating the Panthers. 4-2. There you go. End of the second. Lockhe, way too early question, but who has been your favorite of the new pickups this year? I'm torn between Tanev and Stollers. Well, you nailed it. I mean, that's one and two, whatever order you put them in. That's tricky because the Leaps have had difficulty getting any traction or getting consistent play out of whoever is in their net over the last few years. I'm going to say Chris Tanev because the Leaps have had good goalies over the years. They have not had good right-handed defensemen. They haven't. They flatly have not. All right. Penalty kill coming up for the Leifs. This is a big one. 5:36 to go in the second period. Puck is about to be dropped for this Penguin's power play. Puck has dropped. Have the Leaps had a power play tonight?

01:45:09

Not one that I remember. No? Well, that's why I don't remember it. Matthews. They can't get it out. Latan with it at the point. How did by Marner. Tanev creates a turnover. Leaps get it down the ice. Penalty, a quarter killed. Good stuff. Quick shift. Looks like everyone changed off for the Leaps. Lawrence hounding Carlson. Carlson got to it first. Crosby into the corner. Oh, against Connor Timmins. I don't know exactly what happened there. I'm surprised Timmins didn't blow out his knee on that one. Penguins lose the zone penalty. Half killed now. I mean, the fact they got Timmins kill in penalty should give you an idea of how cooked Timothée Lilligren is. That dude is not going They're not going to be on the leaves anymore. Barring an injury, ain't happening. 40 seconds to go in this Penguin's power play. I think Nye took a high stick. His face is taking a beating early this season. Penguin's down low. Under 30 seconds to go in this Penguin's power play. Working it around. They got time and space. In front. Oh, Raquel had a wide open net. Well-executed play. Not a great pass. This Penguin's second unit's really moving the fuck well.

01:46:50

Oh, shot from bunting. Rebound. And the leaves clear it, and that'll do it. Pretty good chance there At the end, penalty is now officially over. Shut from the Penguin. Stop by Stollers. Pacha ready gets it to Nylander with Holmberg. Oh, Reilly. Oh, Robertson had a chance in front, couldn't get the buck. Leifs. Nice little post-penalty kill counter attack here. Man, I love Ekman Larson. Leifs' blue line looks so different. Willey. Domi. On. Deflection. Oh, Ekman Larson. Nearly a tap in. That should be interference. Yep, Leaps are about to get a power play. Domi to Nylander. I didn't see who that was who got dumped in front, but that was unnecessary. Matthews, the extra attacker. Domi finds Matthews. Time, space, shot, stopped by Blumquist, and with 2:37 to go in the second period. That was an unreal shift. The Leaps are about to take their first power play of the night. Did Tana get a piece of that pass? That was so close. Stollers. He's not too fidgety in his crease. If I had one criticism of Hildeby from his game that he obviously played well in and won, a little too mobile. So Saint Eveny drew the call on Patcheready.

01:48:43

He takes the penalty here 2:37 to go. Leaps first power play of the game. Puck is dropped. Leaps win the draw, Reilly with it. Mitch. Willy, back to the point. Reilly on. Stop by Blonquist. Penguins ringing around. Leaps prevent the exit, and it's Pacha ready out there. In place of John Tavares. That makes sense. That makes sense. Lefs trapped in their own zone right now. Crash test fetus, Montembo still at a sustainable 100 % safe percentage. Marner, knee lander, held into the corner by the penguins. Penuins Dump It. This first unit, man, is not looking good. Stollers, behind the net. Shay Andrews-Oke, gifted one SDPN membership. You legend. Thank you. Matthews, Here he is. Nice. Are Matthews and Neil Anderson out for the whole thing? Marner. Nifty to Matthews. Ekman Larson out there. Bang from Ekman Larson. Rebound. Nye is down in front. Marner prevents the exit under 30 seconds ago in this first power play of the game for the Leaps. Neilander. No one gets a piece of it. Matthew's one-timer. Bad angle. Willy gets a tack from Larson at the point. Back to Willy. Fires wide. Penguins are saying it touched the net.

01:50:44

Willy going off very casually. Matthews. Oh! Rebound in front. I think that was Marner. Looks a little labored in front of the Penguin's net. Net. 20 seconds to go here in the second period. Domi. Off the McMahon shot. Blumquist saves it. 14.1 seconds to go in the second. Okay, so whatever group of five guys was just out there for the end of the power play. Okay, that's your first unit now. I don't give a damn who started it. That's your first unit now. Oh, and the penguins take another one. And Rust is yelling about it, but I thought that was pretty obvious. 2.1 seconds to go in the second, and the penguins take another one. Not good for the penguins. What happened here? Tanev has it. Oh, Rust pokes him in the back of the thigh. I mean, that's an October-ass call, but I don't care. Let's see if the Leifs get a miracle goal here at the end of the second. Oh, they got a shot off. They got exactly what they wanted, but it does not go in. Morgan Reilly, I think, saying that he was high stick there. Wow. Good save from Blumquist.

01:52:53

This kid's got Reilly did take a bit of a stick there, but nothing intentional. Willy and Marner, animated discussion there heading off the ice. Very interesting. And James DeStefan, gifted 10 SDPN memberships. Thank you. Richard Spence, do you think you'll ever get the rights to stream again? No. So here's the thing. I never had the rights in the first place. Sportsnet did, and I worked for Sportsnet. Then I quit. So I no longer have the rights, or my employer no longer has the rights because I don't have an employer. I am the owner, co-owner, co-CEO. Guppy. Welcome back. Blues trade Chen and Letty for Marner and a pick. It's going to happen. Okay, so I don't know about Chen and Letty, but I have thought since the summer that I bet Doug Armstrong and the Blues want Marner in the worst way. Cassie, you don't need to know. Two minutes for falling down. Damn right. Dylan Genther now has five goals in three games, as long as we were talking about Utah. She Sheesh. Welcome to the Saturday Night WatchAlong on Sdpn.

01:54:39

If you really like it, tell all your friends that we're still going. You know what? Let's do a little bit of Trivia before we get to our little break. Which Penguin has the most career points against against the leaves? Can we get that as a poll in the chat? And I'll give you three options. I'll give you three options to make it easier. Your options are Evgeny Malkin, Sydney Crosby, Mario Lemu. I'll even help you out a little bit more. Sydney Crosby has played the most games against the Leifs with 53. Evgeny Malkin has played the second most with 46 games against the Leifs. Mario Lemu somehow only 33 games played in his entire career against the Toronto Maple Leaps. Who do you think it is? Lemieux Crosby-Malkin. Dave Glatz, you're a true homer, Steve, and I love it. I'll never lie to you, though. These new Sportsnet promos are weird. I will give you the answer to the trivia. In third place, despite playing the most games, games. Sydney Crosby, 29 goals, 39 assists for 68 points in 53 games. The dude with the fewest points has 68 points in 53 games. These dudes have eaten the Leifs alive.

01:56:59

Evgeny Malkin One true leaf killer, 24 goals, 45 assists for 69 points in 46 games. But the leader in 33 games only against the leaves, 31 goals, 40 assists, 71 points. Mario Lemu. Everything about Mario was super. Oh, thank you, producer Hayden. That's a great point. The Leaps were in the Western conference for most of Lemu's career. That is why. Let's all take a break. Let's all take a break. What is our clip? By the way, the poll is not in the chat because I just completely sprung it on our poor behind the scenes people, but I saw all your comments. And if you were right, then you know you're right. Sorry. So this is perfect. 8 minutes and 11 seconds. Steve Dangle podcast talking about the Leifs power play troubles. They had some struggles there on their one power play of the game so far. Let's see how much of it still applies, and let's see how much of that they improve upon when the third period begins and the Lefs have a power play.

01:58:26

Now, let's talk a little bit about if there are always There's always going to be areas of concern, and a major area of concern last year was special teams, both sides of it. I'll start with the power play, guys. Jesse, I want to go to you on this one. We have the same lineup on power play one as we've had for three, four years. Not really a lot of personnel change.

01:58:53

Three, four assistant coaches managing that power play.

01:58:56

What did you see in that unit?

01:58:58

Split it We've done this a million times. All of these good teams in the NHL are going to a new thing where they don't just load up the one power play. Unless you're Tampa, where you can just be Kucharov power play-Or Colorado. Or Colorado, where you don't really have the horses to do two units. I think it's a little different. Colorado, you can just throw Kucharov out there. You know he's going to score in the power play. Either he's going to get an assist or he's going to get a goal. Toronto doesn't work like that. They struggle with loading up. The best thing to do is to just try something different, and they refuse to do it time and time again. We see other teams who, if the second unit comes out and they're also dangerous because they have somebody on there, why not give somebody in this top unit their own second unit.

01:59:47

The second unit isn't the second power play unit. It's the don't screw up the line change unit. The first unit gets off the ice. Make sure you don't screw that up. All right, what do we got? Thirty-five seconds? Okay. We're not going to be able to do anything. When we're getting off the ice, we just need to make sure we don't screw that up to bring out the defensive guys. Okay, great. You're not dangerous. You're not a threat.

02:00:12

I understand the philosophy of you have everybody out there. Then when the second unit comes on, you're not handcuffed and you have to throw out your fourth line because everybody's out and those are the only guys you have left. You bring the big guns back on the bench. They get a little bit rest. You can do whatever line combination you want coming back out. Justin Bourne talked a a little about that when he talked about the William Neelander at Center thing. He wrote an article on that. I don't know if we're getting that if you have there, but I'd like to just talk two seconds about that. Take it, take it, go. But the power play thing, you can sacrifice your line change after the power play, whether you get the goal or not, because it'll generate goals. You're sacrificing the opportunity to have more bodies available, the big guns available, in the hopes that it generates more goals in the meantime. Isn't it better if you don't have access to Austin and Mitch because they scored?

02:01:04

Why not just mix things up and throw more people out there, and then hopefully they get a goal, and then you sacrifice the line changes that are going to follow.

02:01:13

But then you have a goal on the board, which is the point of the game is to score more than the other team.

02:01:17

And what if you had the depth to trust the people that are coming out after the power play as well? You load up that top unit, and I'm looking at Daily Face Off right now, and so they have the updated lines from last One thing that I think... I'm struggling with something because Tavares is good down low, but is he good down low in front of the net? I think so. A lot of tip-in goals and that thing. So I don't think you take him off that. William Neelander could finish. Austin Matthews is the best finisher in the league at the moment. Mitch Marder is one of the best passers the Leaps have ever had. I look at, and I mentioned this last year with Klingberg, who was not the guy. I look at Morgan Reilly, who Who is a points phenomenon? I'm not taking away from Morgan's game. But one thing the least do not have on the first power play unit, if you're going to make a switch, to me, it's Morgan Reilly, because how many times have we seen Oliver Ackman-Larson already rip it?

02:02:15

I like that player, man.

02:02:17

For one of the first two games of the year, and I've been on this guy because I loved him in Florida, too. I didn't love the Vancouver thing, but I think that was more contract and the team sucked. I think he would have told you that. Oliver Ackman-Larson, to me, makes a lot of sense on the power play. If you're going to- Give it a look. Exactly. If you must keep all these guys together, and you don't have to. I thought Domi and Matthews were amazing together last year. I don't know why they haven't gone back to it yet, even in preseason.

02:02:44

You mean 5 on 5?

02:02:45

They were great 5 on 5. Try them on power play together. But Oliver Ekman-Larson seems like the easiest, let's try that first guy because he has run top power play units for bad teams. Imagine what he could do for a good team.

02:03:00

I guess I just don't... We did talk about this a couple of shows ago. I guess if you put Domi first-line, right wing, I just don't know what you do with the second-line then. So are you... Mitch isn't playing the left. He's never done that with the Lefs. Nylander has done it a bit. Do you do Nylander in the middle, Tavares on the left, and Nye stays with Matthews? Does Nye drop down?

02:03:20

I don't see why if you can have Matthews win the face-off, I know you want to set Matthews up for one time or off the face-off, so that might play into this.

02:03:28

Are you talking about the power play or five on- Power I'm talking about power play.

02:03:30

Power play. I'm talking about power play. That's why I'm saying, put Oliver Ekman-Larson in for Morgan Reilly on the first power play unit. Try that first.

02:03:36

If you got to make one change, one, that's the one.

02:03:40

Then I look at, if you want to make another change, a guy I would sincerely look at is Max Domi. I think he and Matthews have something. Can you convince Max to get in front of the net and get nasty, pull Tavares onto the second power play unit, and then you still got Marner Matthews, Neil on one unit.

02:04:01

Or even, here's how low the bar is, start the second unit.

02:04:06

Well, and so there were people getting upset about the fact that the Leaps did play the second unit a lot more than they have in the past.

02:04:13

They were getting upset about that?

02:04:14

Yeah.

02:04:14

Did you see the first unit?

02:04:16

If you look at the aggregate of what the Leaps power play unit has done over the last few years, over the course of a season, there's no doubt that they're one of the best power play units in the league. However, let's look at it from mid-February to the end of whatever game they end in the playoff. It's annual gaslighting.

02:04:36

The power play gaslights us every year. Oh, maybe this is the...

02:04:40

And they die. Well, because they also don't make any adjustments.

02:04:43

The trade deadline happens and they lose all their powers.

02:04:48

It's because it's something that's highly defensible. You can figure out what they're going to do. I think power plays, especially with the Leaps, have been far too too much the same. Maybe they didn't feel like they had the horses on the second unit. I think they do now. I think there should be some fluidity with this. I agree. Remember we talked to Keith Acton in the spring when we were at the... We were at Boston Pizza, Stoville, and Keith was a former assistant captain with the Leifs, and he said, You need to know about 20 games out from the playouts, which your lineup is going to be. I get that.

02:05:22

That's such a good number that he threw out.

02:05:25

It's a quarter of the season.

02:05:25

But that's when they die.

02:05:28

That's when they disappear It's weird. So I think now, let's shake it up a little bit and see what happens.

02:05:35

We're going to have to have several options.

02:05:36

Did anybody predict last year that we were going to see Bertuzzi, Domi, Matthews? No. And yet, they were the top line going into the playoffs. And they were spectacular. And so why can't we try these things out? And I think they will. There's how many games?

02:05:52

So many games. 82. There's 82 of them.

02:05:56

You got plenty of time to experiment. I also want to look at a guy Matthew Nies, and it's going to come down to him earning it. But you saw what he did to Dougie Hamilton last night.

02:06:05

What a barbarian.

02:06:06

Does he not fit somewhere on the first unit as a big, scary body in front of the net? Or a guy digging in the corner?

02:06:13

Just try it. Just try it. Oh, he had 35 points last year. I still remember when people looked at me sideways, and I'm like, Why don't I try Hyman on the leaf power play? There was a time where that was a dumb idea. Yes. There literally was a time where there was barely a justifiable plan. Yes. And then, Oh, he's starting to score. Okay, he's doing all right. And now he's one of the best goal scores in the league. Toxic work environment, my ass. You get to... Hey, sorry. How are you doing? Steve Dangle here on the watchalongs here on S-D-P-N. Leifs. The Leifs lead the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 here on the It's first hockey night in Canada for them. And the Lefs will begin the third period, not just with a 2-1 lead, but with a power play, basically an entire power play. They got a power play with 2 seconds to go in the second period.

They hate you, me, and Rob. Why? Like, what did we ever do? What did we ever not do? I don't understand. Oh, there you go. Likes are going up. Hayden put some Trivia at the bottom for me, and he's a psychopath. I could tell you that right now. This is the first season since the 2010-11 season. That was well over a decade ago. This is the first season since the 2010-11 season that every team has a captain. Name as many captains from the 2010-11 season as you can. He said only two captains from that season are still captains. They have to be Crosby and Ovechkin, right? Did I get those two? Okay. I don't think Dion Phaneuf was captain yet of the Leifs.

02:09:23

He was. All right. Zdeno Chara. Correct. Okay. Jerome McGinnland was still the captain of the Flames. Okay. Was Steven Stamkos the captain of the Lightning yet? He was not. Oh, Martin St. Louis. No. Oh, Vinnie LeCavalier? So he was captain of the Lightning twice, if I'm not mistaken. He was captain, and then Ander Chuck, and then... Okay. Interesting. Florida Panthers have had some weird ones. Former Lee Florida Panthers Captain Brian McCabe? From St. Catherine's, Ontario. Okay, okay, okay. I'm going completely out of order. Habs. Let's do Habs. I don't think it was Paturetti. I don't think it was Koyvu. No, it couldn't have been Koyvu. There's a Koyvu on the list, Miko Koyvu for the Wild. Montreal, who is their captain? The people in the chat have got it? He's from Rochester, New York. Right wing. Was it Patches? Brian Giantta. Oh, man. Dave Glatz, Steve, we all love you here, buddy. Oh, thank you. And Paula Bellin from Chile. I don't know why I did this. Gifted five SDPM memberships, and the fuck has dropped for the third period. Leaps with a 2-1 lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins, and they begin the period on the power play, three shots in their last power play, no goals.

02:11:52

And they do start with a new look. Ekman Larson is out there with Matthews, Nies, and Willy. New look units. Marner in front to nobody, and then Marner throws up his hand. I don't know if he was looking for a penalty there, or if he was upset no one was there. Nies. Ekman Larson, Neylander. Matthews, Ekman Larson. Matthews. Ekman Larson, Marner. And the pass doesn't connect again. A minute to go in this power play. I wonder if new horses are coming over the boards. Those guys, Robertson's out there. Reilly's out there now. Domi. Domi gains the line to Robertson. Back to Reilly. Reilly in front to McMahon. Couldn't get the shot off. There's a Penguin. Without their stick, they get it back. I thought it broken. Into the leaves corner. They have 30 to go here. Oh, boy, Reilly. Chips it in. This power play looks dreadful. Mcmahon, Robertson, around the boards and out. Ten seconds ago in this power play, it's just dead. Dreadful. Dreadful. Timmins is out there. I don't know, do you give him a look next time? One shot on that power play. I'm surprised it was that much. Rust around the boards.

02:13:44

Here comes Marner again. Partial break. Shot. Scores. Mitch Marner. Shoot it, kid. And the Leaps, without the burden of a power play. Snip it at five on five. Mitch Marner, his first of the season, leaves take a three-one lead. Crosby left it for his D-man, and Marner, with a goal that doesn't look all that dissimilar to his first career goal in the home opener in 2016-17. Just a snipe from the right-hand side. 17:42, 1-0 to go in the third period. Carter, I just bought your new book. I'm so excited, and I'm excited because the least are about to score, Ryan Reeves. And they called it a hand pass. Carter, thank you. I hope you enjoy the book. People are starting to get It's water. I promise it's water. That's Mitch Marner's first of the season unassisted. That's all Mitch. Great play, man. Dumped in. Just shoot it. Just shoot it. That's a great shot. Shot. Oh, partial break for the pens. They stop up, though. Reinforcement shot. Oh, Brian Rust accidentally blocks his own teammate shot. Marner with a good block to break that up. He's looking great. Unreal past the Matthews. Stopped. That was a nice move.

02:15:50

Mitch Marner coming alive here. Crosby gets a deep. Matthews, man, he's had some real good looks in three games. Mcmahon. Mccabe. Leifs on side, Humberg driving one hand on a stick. Oh, now he's got two. Good work. Taken down hard by Graves. Patcheready battling all three lead forwards, keeping it in the offensive zone, which with a Two goal lead in the third period. That'll do. Good shift. 16 minutes to go in the third. Shots, 26 to 17 for the Leaps. That doesn't quite tell the story. The penguins have gotten lots of shot attempts. I'm not sure if they still have more than the Leaps. Leaps are blocking a ton of shots in this game. Penguin's in the corner. Malkin can't kick it to a teammate. Bunting gets it to Carlson at the point, around to his partner, behind the net. Penguin's firing a lot wide. Oh, someone blows a tire there. Penguin can't shovel it in front. I think that was Nylander who blew a tire. Malkin to the point. Malkin in the slot as it swotted away by Timmins. There's another penalty coming here, and is it Benny? Benoît, again? Buddy, buddy. I love you.

02:17:51

This can't keep happening. Let's get another look at that. Oh, that Marner sauced Matthews. It was just disgusting. Matthews tries to tuck it five hole like he's done so many times. Oh, bunting with the huge flop. I miss you, buddy. That's a massive flop. Benoît hit him a little high, but I mean, Bunting just went down like a sack of potatoes. That's hilarious. If the Penguin Penguin score here, this is going to be a lively LFR. Letang. Penguin's moving it really well on this power play yet again. Letang. Malkin. Crosby can't get around Stollers, who is 8'5. Into the glove of Anthony Stollers, 1:15 to go in this Penguin power play, 14:31 to go in the third period. Jesse's Pizza Box calling it Stollers as the second coming of Potvin. I'm going to fall in love with Crashtest fetus, three bucks, three nothing habs. Senators have ruined Allmark. It's three. The habs are up three nothing on the sends. Oh, wow. Penguins swotted away from Malkin, but he gets it back. Fortunate bounce. Puck leaves the leave zone. Penalty, half killed now. Malkin to Crosby be. How many times have you heard that? Carlson can't get the puck to where he wanted to go.

02:19:50

Leaps can't ring it around, though. Littang at the point. Kempf breaks up the pass. Penguins come up with the puck again. Rust in there. Carlson. Again, puck doesn't get through. Lawrence hits it to himself, swats it down the ice, tries to draw the call. It doesn't work, but he gets it all the way down 30 seconds to go in this Penguin's power play. Fans letting the refs know there. Bunting. I mean, that was a dive and a half. Oh, Soler's almost cost his team there. Nye swats it down. 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Penguin's power play is over. Mccabe off the boards, down the ice. Can't get it to Benwa, who swaps off. And got to wonder what that conversation with Simone Benoît is going to be like. Lilligran has got to be sitting there They're like, Dude, I'm not going to take four penalties in three games. Is that what it is, four penalties in three games? It's at least three and three. Four and three? Brutal. One of the most frustrating things about the early part of the season is I can remember stats like that off the top of my head, but it gets harder to do.

02:21:26

Robertson, oh, almost bussed through. Reilly, Timmins. Reilly and Timmins together. Shot from Timmins, stopped by Blumquist, and we will get an offensive zone face-off for the Leaps there, 12:25 to go in the third. Blue-white flame gifted five SDPN memberships. We like that. We like that a lot. And we go into commercial break. Steve Dangle here on the SDPN YouTube channel. Click like, click subscribe. Tell all your friends. Let's do a quick out of town scoreboard, producer Hayden. What do you got for me? 4-2 Panthers. Wait, Panthers? 4-2 Sabers over the Panthers. Thank you. June Nothing. Red Wings over the Preds. 3-1, Montreal over Ottawa. Montebo has finally been beaten. Start of the third period, Utah up 5-4 on who? The Rangers. Devils up 4-2 on the Capitals. Spicy night. Utah just tweeted, According to Stat Head Hockey, Dylan Genther has become the ninth NHL player to score five or more goals in his team's first three games of a season at age 21 or younger. He joins Thomas Hurtle and Austin Matthews as the third player to accomplish the feat this century. Holy crap. Is that good? That contract he signed where people were like, Who the hell is that guy?

02:23:24

Is looking quite good. Marner having quite the third period here. They're pointing out his slow starts in October on the broadcast. And it's funny because he's nearly a point of game in a couple of those. But heavy as the Crown. You make all that money. You're a star. This team depends on you. You don't get to have off games. Matthews is not even three full games into the season without a goal. And we're like, what is the weight of the captaincy getting to him? All that silliness. Bobby McMahon. I don't think I've ever seen him take a face off before. He lost. Here come the penguins. 12:15 to go in the third. 12:12, 11:10, 9:8, 7:00. Trying to help people sync up. Bobby McMahon deep, gets it to Holmberg. Holmberg looking for reinforcements. Just back into the corner. Leifs doing an unreal job at just killing the clock in the Penguin zone this third period. They've killed at least a solid minute of the period, just grinding it out in the offensive zone. Reilly Tanev, just be still my beating heart. Tanev up the ice to Mitch, gets a deep request out of his net to play it.

02:25:02

Oh, Mitch puts it on. I think that might have been deflected by Austin. Austin with it behind the net. Can't handle it. Mitch pool cues it to Reilly. Reilly off the boards, Matthews. Tanev. Great shift here. Oh, nice. In front to Matthews. Nice. Taken down. Looking for a call, doesn't get it. Matthews taken down. Looking for a call, doesn't get it. Crosby, yipping. I think he's yipping at Matthews. Nice. Behind the net. Marner first to it. Matthews. To the point. Leaps can't hold the line. And Ref calls offside. I think that might have hit the Ref's skate. Jorge, do you think we'll see Lily again excluding injuries? Well, injuries, I I think is the only way he's going to get in. Crosby's telling Matthew stay in his feet, I think. James David Atkinson, theoretical PP1 Domi, Austin, Robbie, Willy, O-E-L. I mean, you got to get bloody shots. You got to get shots in possession. It doesn't really matter who the personnel is. David Camp, Spinnerama. Shot goes wide, 10:25 to go in the third period. Natalie Drake, I love and appreciate your countdown sinking. Natalie, I wonder if you recognized the artwork addition to the Blue Room.

02:26:47

Natalie came to the book launch and gave me that, the angry leaf with the top hat. Robert Bett, have you ever seen Victoria Stuart's YouTube channel? She's a vloger from Scotland. She's very knowledgeable about the leaves, watches games at 3:00 AM. Yeah, that's insane that she watches them at 3:00 AM. Of course, I know about Victoria, and I have a connection to Scotland. My wife is from there, and her family. Not she's Scottish-inherited. She is Scottish-in, she moved here when she was 11. Oh, in front. Penguins can't quite get it. Ten minutes to go in the third. Exactly. What the... Willy basically just shot it at stallers, but it actually helped the breakout. And that's icing against the leaves. Haven't quite seen that. Corrupted, became an SDP VIP. Let's go. 9:51 to go in the third period. Shots 29 to 18 for the leaves. Crosby taking the offensive zone draw for the penguins. Max Domi coming in to take them on. Puck is dropped. Domi wins it with his feet. Penguins come up with it, and this got bad quick. Penguins came up with it, and Ekman Larson's stick is broken. Robertson skates it out, and he'll give If you have chase, this should alleviate what was ailing the leaves in the back end.

02:28:35

Jeez. Domi wins a face off. Things are going well. Oh, broken stick. Oh, the penguins have it. Oh, jeez. 9:20 to go in the third period here. Matthew's with it. Tenais and Marner. This line has really picked up their socks. Reilly. Matthew's with it. Behind the net. Marner gets Applies pressure. Penguins turn the buck over nine minutes to go in the third period. We like that. Leifs are really doing a good job milking this lead. It's an art. Yeah, you want to generate offense. You want to have good defense. You want to apply physicality. But just bleeding the clock is a really underrated skill. And the reason is because it's not exciting. It's very boring. Mcmahon, I think he slipped on a broken stick there. Shot from Carlson goes wide. Patch already giving chase to it. Penguin is behind the net now. Holmberg, one hand on his stick. They're not going to call a penalty there. Alex Rayu, shout out to the overseas leaves contingent. It's true. You're truly the craziest fans among us. Malkin drops it off. I think that's for Raquel. Camp behind the net for McCabe. Mccabe to Benoît. Under eight minutes to go in the third here.

02:30:12

Mcmahon chips it in. Blumquist out of his net to play it. I've liked Blumquist. That's a good goalie. Penguins haven't really helped him out much. Malkin. Uh-oh. Spoke too soon. Ricard Raquel roofs it. That was bar down beauty from Ricard Raquel, me and my big mouth. And with 7:31 to go in the third, the penguins pulled it within one. I believe that is point number 1,300 for Evgeny Malkin on his career. Shut up, Steve. I mean, jeez, you can't really place the buck better than that. Ty Smith, five S2PN gifted memberships, sticking to his word for five memberships for every Penguin's goal. There we go. And now Penguin's applying pressure again. Eler with it. Oh, no. Puck loose in the crease. Stollers covers it up. 7:17 to go in the third. Yikesicles on bicycles. Cassie, also gifting five SDP in memberships. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Jessie's Pizza Box, please tell us you have begun working on a Beruubi impression. Not quite, but I will. And we are going to commercial break.

Tony Lee just sponsored my Easter Seals team. Let me do a shout A shout out to that. Let me do a shout out to my Easter Seals team. Rachel's Riders. You know what? I'm going to put that in the chat myself. I'm going to put a link right there. Donate to my Easter Seals team. Rachel's Riders. We're raising money for Easter Seals. It's a charity that helps out kids with physical disabilities. It's a charity that is near and dear to my heart. My family is an Easter Seals family. We went to Easter Seals camps growing up. My sister, it's a long and harrowing story. If you've read my book, you know it. If you've been following for a while, you know it. If you don't know it, she was born at 24 weeks. Baby These are... They typically hope that you go to 40 weeks. I believe full term is technically 37. She was born at 24. As far as I know, the most premature baby to be born and survive is 20 weeks. So Rachel's close. She was born with a brain bleed, which means brain damage. She was later diagnosed with autism. She has cerebral palsy, many challenges to her life and the cerebral palsy makes it so that she needs mobility aid when she's out and about in the world, which means a lot of expenses.

02:33:59

My My family has had a really good support around us. Not a lot of families do. And that's where Easter Seals comes in. They help these guys. They've done an incredible job, and we've done an incredible job fundraising for them. So link in the chat, donate to Rachel's Riders. I play in the tournament every year, and it's not because I'm good at hockey. It's because I'm good at fundraising. Because you're good at donating. I wouldn't be good at fundraising if you didn't donate. 6:41 to go in the third period. Leaps still hold a 3-2 lead, but the penguins have cut it to one-off a snipe from MacArthur Kehl. Dave Glatz, show and tell later about something special. New lander coming in. Sharp angle shot on Blomkist, but it forces a face-off. 6:20 to go in the third period. Tony Lee, happy Happy to donate to a great cause because you're doing great work? No. Happy to donate. Great cause. You're doing great work. I read that entirely wrong. Thank you. And if you donate during the stream, I get notifications sent to my email every time someone donates. So I'll say something. Puck has dropped 6:15 to go in the third.

02:35:35

Whistle for, I believe that's icing on the Penguin, 6:11 to go in the third. I was about to say Marner's breathing heavy on the bench, but I think he's just blowing into his gloves. Such a scamp. All right, they're about to drop the puck here. Domi in for the face off against Eler. Puck is dropped. No, it's not. It's not. They lied. Steve, what is your dream US book tour stop? Boston. Pittsburgh would be cool. Dropped. First video I watched of yours was the Phil Kessel Trade. Haven't missed an LFR since. That's a long time, J-Rules. Thank you. Penguin's behind the net. Exactly six minutes to go in the third period. Ekman Larson, up the boards for Robertson. Robertson collects off the boards for Domi. Robertson then goes to the net. Robertson! Oh, held up. But the leaves are going to get a power play out of it. And there's a Penguin down on the ice. I didn't see what happened. Producer Hayden goes, Can You declined the power play. Shut up. Matthews has the puck taken off him by Petterson with 5:34 to go in the third period. It looks like Rutger... No, Rutger McGroady was the player who was hurt.

02:37:13

I didn't see what happened there. Petterson. Marcus Petterson is the one who's going off. I mean, Robertson does a great job creating that entire play, and then I didn't see what happened to McGroady. But we're going to get a pause here. Tv time came out, commercial break, before the Leaps got a power play, where they could all but ice this game. But of course, it's the power play. Listen, as long as we're... Let's talk about the narrative. If you want to talk about the narrative? If the Leaps score here, they get a power play goal, and they win the game, everyone goes home happy. If they don't score here, Leaps win the game anyway, we probably ignore it. Leaps don't get a goal here. Penguins tie it. I think fans are going to start getting pretty restless about that. Hadoken said, Congrats on the book release. Much love from the land of the Solar Bears. That's Orlando, as usual. And of course, Go, leaves, go. Thank you, Hadoken. I appreciate I appreciate that. By the way, Rachel's doing great. People ask every now and then. She's doing well. She's in her 30s. Not bad for someone who was given a 50/50 chance to live when she was born.

02:38:50

I know that's heavy. I know that's really heavy, but sometimes the life is heavy. The truth is heavy. They're showing a compilation of Matthew's chances so far this season. He could easily have four or five goals. He's shaking his head. You could tell he's pissed. He's going to lose his mind when he scores his first of the season. It might come right here. Puck is about to be dropped. Five... He has seven shots. Puck is dropped. It was 534 to go in the third. Now, there's less. Neylander at the point with Ekman Larson. Lefs are 0 for two. Shot. Tip from Nyeis, didn't go in. Oh, Ekman Larson can't hold the line. Now, the leaf's got to gain it again. Marner, dancing to Willy. Nye's with it along the half wall. Matthews. Get some help there from OEL. Penguins just trying to kill it along the half wall. Marner at the point. On. Doesn't get through. Ekman Larson, over to Matthews. Ekman Larson to Marner. Down low to Nye's. Willy in front now. Matthews. Someone shoot it. Mitch on. Matthews, I think, got a tip on that. Stopped, but the Lefs still have it. 45 seconds ago in this Lefs power play.

02:40:45

Neylander. Oh, I would have liked a shot there. Neylander to Nye's. Neylander getting to the front of the net. Neylander in the bumper now. Ekman Larson, high. Maybe a bit too high. Matthews, long the half wall, half boards. Switches with OEL. I like OEL in the top unit. Mitch, 20 seconds to go. This is by far their best power play of the Willie. What a pass to Matthews. Oh, nice. Just can't finish it. Oh, that was unreal. And they clear it, and this will just about do it. Steeson says, I'm sorry, I drafted Matthews in fantasy, and my fantasy team is where goal scores go to Drop them. Trade them. Do whatever you got to do. You're hurting the team. They should be three and oh. Oh, no. Puck skips over Malk and stick. 3:15 to go in the third. Penguins probably going to pull Blumquist pretty soon. Stop by Stolers. 3:05 to go in the third period. Jeez, I wonder if they pull them right now. Might be a little early, but never know. Jessie's Pizza Box. Fyi, in the blue room, the tiny door behind the Podfen poster is where Hack guy lives.

02:42:13

You're not wrong. Lfr, coming up after this, by the way. Sending a quick text to producer nick to make sure he knows. Producer nick has done the first few LFRs of the season. Producer Drew will be back. Penguins, put it on. Collide. Wide with Stolers. Hit him right in the head. Play continues. Nice. Gets it deep. 2:50 to go in the third. Nice. Takes it off Carlson. Oh, Matthews tries to get it to nice. Matthews, whole top line is out there right now. Marner. Shifty. Marner has had a fantastic third period. I don't expect everyone to be great right away, but If you have a tough start to the game, it's good to have a good third. Nice. Oh, tries to do a spin-a-ruin. He's looking for a call. Shut up. Almost a break away for Eler. Stoler is out of the net to play it. And the Lefs, oh, Oh, boy. Neelander up the ice to Lawrence. Yeah, penguins are going to look to pull here. If they get the zone and they do... Oh, stop by Stoler's. Get it up the ice, Willy. Out there with Lawrence. You're going to see all sorts of weird combinations.

02:43:49

Lawrence takes it off Blumquist. He straight up stole it off the goalie there, and he's going to kill time down low. So is McCabe. Leaps This has to be it. I think Blumquist is going to join the rush here. Yeah, he is. 1:35 to go in the third. Leaps probably content to let the penguins Stay behind the net. They flubbed the first attempt at the breakout, and that kills nearly 10 seconds off the clock. Eighty seconds to go in the game. Penguins flubbed it again. Minute 10 to go in the third period. Puppygirl says, Hi, Steve. Proud member, eight months. I love that. Raquel, looking for someone to give it to. And he gives it to Sid. Sid to the point. Carlson with it. Under a minute to go here in the third period. Marner at the point. Malkin shoots it. Stop. Rebound. There's a rebound in front. Blocked. Marner. Patience. He's beautiful patience. I think he's been the least MVP of this third period. He's had a fantastic third period. Raquel gets it deep. Tanev. Oh, Neylander. To Domi. To Neylander. Just put it in the empty net, bud. And he does. His second of the night.

02:45:25

He had nice, he thought about it. I think he just apologized the Guys, 22 seconds to go in the third. Willy, second of the night, makes it for two leaves, and they'll pick up their second win of the season. Let's go. Let's go. Stolers is going to pick up his first win as a leaf, too. That Malkin shot. That's a good save from Stolers. Oh, Raquel just can't get that shot through. And Mitch with a great touch there at the end. Willy collected the puck in the slot. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful stuff. Matt Wilkins ready to do it all over again for another year. Me too, Matt. Me too. 29th career two goal game for Willy. 10 seconds to go in the third. I think they're safe. Thank you, producer Hayden. Nine and oh are the Leaps. In the Matthews era for home openers. Jake McCabe collects the puck and gives it to Anthony Stollers. His first win as a Toronto Maple leaf. Malkin gets his milestone with his 1,300th point, but Crosby will have to wait. He sits at 1,599. Natalie Drake. Tonight's hockey snack is queso, maybe.

You, Beauty. Thank you, Mr. Hayden. Hey, did you really want to see Sydney Crosby get 1,600 points today? Well, he didn't. But You will have a shot at redemption. Crosby will have a shot at redemption in a couple of days because Sdpn will be streaming the Monday night game between Sydney Crosby's Pittsburgh Penguins. And who are they playing? Is it the Habs? Montreal Canadiens. Sydney Crosby's childhood team, the Montreal Canadiens, and he has a chance to be the 10th player to ever get 1,600 points against his boyhood team. That's pretty cool. Adam will be streaming that game. So this season, the plan is for me to stream every Saturday, Adam to stream every Monday, and we're going to have at least two streams a week for you. How does that sound? How does that sound? Does that sound beautiful? Does that sound lovely? Does that sound excellent? Sounds good. Nathan Bouhla said, Your symmetry with the broadcast is uncanny. Thank you. Is that the word you meant? I like it. Steve, do I need to type Keep in Rachel's Riders. Let me see. Yeah, with the link that I clicked in the chat, there's a link in the chat.

No, it just says, support our team. So there's an option to donate to individual players. If you donate to me, that's cool, but you can donate to anyone else on the team. Producer Hayden is on this team. And if you donate to anybody on Rachel's Riders, not just me, you are automatically entered into a raffle for a pair of tickets to the Leagues game in Toronto on November 16th against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers. How does that sound? Does that sound pretty cool? I think it sounds pretty cool. Have we been getting donations? Justin Whalen? Oh, it's all in one email. Justin Whalen donated to Rachel's Riders. Daniel Lacoe donated to Rachel's Riders during this stream. Nina Borello, Natalie Drake, Ulysses Colin, Frank Wendling, Jenny Thompson. How many of these are there? And Ravi Khochar. Thank you all very much. I didn't realize. I forgot about it. How many people donated to Rachel's Riders during this stream? I love it. Rachel's Riders are now at $8,204.73. $0.03 raised. On the event scoreboard, we have finally officially overtaken first place. Td Wealth is behind us. Esso Flyers are behind us. Celebrity Shinny Sportsnet is in dead last.

Up your game, Sportsnet. They also only have one player on their team. I'm sure that will change. I'm sure that will change aggressively. Not everyone has come up with their full team yet. We haven't either. Name tags. Mondays are for Gripper Nation. Babe, on Mondays, the socks stay off. If you want the uncomfortable version of the Saturday night streams, then tune in Monday when Adam shows you his frigged feet and probably gets us demonetized or something. All right. Producer Hayden, what do you think? Good stream. Good stream. Oh, the captain of the Islanders, this goes back to a bit, from the 2010-11 season was Doug Waight. I would not have guessed that. I didn't know he was ever the captain. He was 40. The NHL used to be even dumber. If you think it's dumb now, I can assure you it used to be dumber. Big fan. Big fan of how things are going. Boy, we got a lot going on. Books coming out, the You Too stuffy, Raising Money for Easter Seals. I'm streaming Saturdays, Adam's streaming Mondays. We got a bunch of book signings and events coming up. Goodness gracious. If you go to my Twitter account, actually, if you go to a bunch of my accounts, I have a link tree there.
