About 5 years Darius Kasparaitis played my hometown U-18 team in a charity game and it was such an honor to share the ice with him. Got to meet and talk with him pregame and he is one of the nicest and legit human beings ever. When we played the game he looked like he wasn't a day over 25 and he gave me one of his signature hip checks on his first shift. At least i can say i took a hit from one of the most intimidating hitters in hockey history and lived to tell about it.
Man I used to love Kasper!! As a Pens fan when I was younger most kids wanted Jagr, Lemieux, maybe Straka or Nedved. Nahh I wanted the Kasper #11 and still have the Pens 3rd Robo Penguin Y2K patch Jersey. Dude was awesome, great stuff guys!!
I’ll tell y’all again, im a few years new to hockey (like 4,5? Maybe 6 lmao) so I don’t know anything about Darius BUT this interview was a fun watch. He in a way reminds me of Ilya Bryzgalov who I have no idea how I know lol I stumbled into his all star weekend content when first learning of the sport anyway they both are funny and send to have great words to live by. I’d love those two to have a podcast every week too lol. Definitely gonna spend some free time watching clips this work they say Darius was about
Don't know how old you are - but when the Russians came to the NHL one thing that they used to get knocked for was a lot of them had very poor playoffs - and their teams would be out in the first round . The rap at the time was that they didn't care - they just wanted to get to world championships . Kasparitis was probably the only one at that time who would turn it up during the playoffs - while all the rest of the Russians shut it down for playoff hockey
Almost 30. I grew up watching every game he played on Broadway. Even met him at a few Jr rangers camps. The energy he brought to the game was enigmatic
Love Whit's take on the Matthews suspension. If any player in the league did that to Matthews the leafs fans would be going absolutely crazy and would be calling to get the player kicked out for the rest of the year.
Gents. The reason Brady didn't retire but played it out was to see if the Bucs could put a winning roster in front of him. He lost one of the top offensive lineman this of season to FA. he wanted to make sure he had a team that could go on a run come playoffs.
Crazy how many warriors out there going vegan these days. You hear about it in combat sports all the time too. Is it just because it's a good way to keep yourself eating clean?
Who hurt you Biz? 🤣 Eichels a POS, I defended him up until the Podcast RA mentioned with Rivet and Peters, I suggest you give it a listen. Really gives some insight into who this guy is behind the scenes...
Matthews is a great goal scorer. There is a trophy for that. Why does that automatically make him the Hart winner? Take him off the team and the Leafs still make the playoffs. The Hart is for most valuable to your team.
Jesus you all are aware that the St.Louis Blues who are in 2nd place are also in the NHL right??? You spent more time on the NBA then even mentioning them on anything… as a Blues fan I give up
Biz is sitting in this weird stage of half believing what he is saying and half doing it for the memes Going in on the Sabers fans is just a weird look
BOYS MAKE A TRIP TO CAPE BRETON NOVA SCOTIA CA THIS YEAR FIRST WEEK OF JULY FREE LOBSTER FREE SNOW CRAB and the best golfing in canada Cabot shores let's go boys sid and nate and them are always down
Hope you guys see this… buffalos fan base is absolutely insane when the teams buzzin but we can’t take hearing the stories of how pegula treats the team like a video game and has ruined the culture around here. The young guns in the locker room are building it back up but the ownership is trash and they think their shit doesn’t stink because the bills are good. I feel bad for jack that he had to deal with the pegulas. Terrible ownership. 0 hockey sense. hopefully the good prospects we have in the pipeline and on roster now progress and we keep Don Granato behind the bench, players seem to actually play with a purpose since he’s been here.
An all-time grind my gears session. RA absolutely went off

Wednesday is best day of the week!
Kasparaitis interview was amazing.
@A TH-cam Guy funny.Dude speaks four languages,guve hima break)
1st heard this on the podcast & had to come to watch the end again. RA epic grind session! Guys really went at each other this ep.
Holy faaack RA flipping about bike lanes was hilarious. Lotta passion
The exchange between Lemieux and Kasparaitis is legendary.
You guys should start asking these legends before they finished who or what team they wanted to play with would be cool to hear
Kasparaitis is a legend
We need some kind person to make time stamps for the episodes
Grinnelli does the absolute least he can
@@StonedSpagooter why complain and you do it
@@rolandkennedy80 shut up
Yes I agree
Kasper was my favorite player growing up; watching him play for the Penguins was the shit.
I like hair pie 🤣🤣🤣
The look on Whit's and Biz's face was priceless. That was so funny
The Kasparaitis interview was good though… so good job on that for sure!
Ryan is pompous, hypocritical and self-absorbed. Love your empathy and positivity Biz, RA and G - keep the humor train rolling.

Kasper was my first pens jersey all my friends gave me shit about being a pens fan lol
Still have mine. I got him to sign it after a Penguins practice in 2000.
I think I counted 47 F Bombs during RAs grind my gears session 😂😂
43?
I got 46 😂😂

Kasper is such a beauty. Man I miss watching that dude play.
Hands down the best Grind Mr Gears so far! RA let the the cyclists have!!!!! Hahahaha
Get some pictou County pizza boys in nova scotia best pizza in the world
Kasparitis at 1:21:24 because they put the time stamp on the ad smh
Darius was hilarious
Biz loves dishin' the trash talk, but the second he gets it back it's ding ding ding
"Nathan McCheapshot"🤣🤣
Let's goooo, I used to get the weirdest looks as a kid when I said kasparitis was my favorite player
He was a nasty piece of business, no shame in his game certainly looks different without the mullet

super cool interview
Teams showing up to Outdoor Games reminds me of girls in High School all dressing in a theme for weekend parties.
Lovin that parkade back drop
Great interview, know what i am saying
Bring Spittin Chiclets cup to Edmonton. There is a huge ball hockey community in the city.
biz was fired up in the first part.
Love Whit's take on the Matthews suspension. If any player in the league did that to Matthews the leafs fans would be going absolutely crazy and would be calling to get the player kicked out for the rest of the year.
100% I loved listening to the whining of delusional leafs fans -
Literally describing Biz in this episode.
lets go another week another pod
1:48:00 shedding light on Bryan Berard's story about the Islander who went into a drunken rage in a hotel in a detroit lmfao
Go straight to the 2:20 mark ... and laugh till the end. Waaay tooo funnny, thanks guys!
Darius "Know What I'm Sayin'?" Kasparaitis
as a lifelong hardvore sabres fan, bring it Biz! ur a leafs fan, we arent built the same.
pretty similar. both used to losing.
Official F-Bomb count on the bike lane grind my gears - 45
Got to bring back Kasper!!
"Kirk Douglas, uh Miracle" what? 🤔 thanks for the nice words for Mikko Koivu and the giving some time for the high school state tourney.
RA's rant on bike lanes was epic
Would love to hear it in English
Pagnotta is at 02:31:18
Get Kovalev on!!!! Please
Whits physical pain when RA says he hasn't seen Moana 🤣
opening roast session is all time
love kasper he will always have the best hit imo when he killed lindross civic arena went absolutely nuts
Fucking awesome interview w Darius
Keith Olberman vs RA in the ring please. Im taking RA all day
Fast Forward engaged at 2:26:22
Need some birdie juice tonight after work.
i gotta get a round of golf in soon too. snow finally melted. now we need some sun balls dry this shit out
@@Xr3737 this winter has been a gong show!
Same as Halifax with the bike lanes!! Lanes completely gone for bike lanes.
Don’t worry R.A the exact same thing is happening with bike/car lanes in Halifax it’s fucked
Can't believe you guys didn't ask Kasper about his Game 7 OT Goal against Buffalo.
Calary Sap hoodies, immediately
hilarious eppie. masks as apizza topping
no one was safe from getting called out in todays ep eh boys
I’m a leafs fan and I Love Whit. I lost faith in this team last year after game 7. Now I’m just present and dead on the inside.
Hope you didn't watch last nights game.........
Gotta figure it out with the add reads complete JV content, don’t think RA, or biz has completed one add read successfully
How did they not ask him about his multi OT GWG against Buffalo??? Insane
Can’t believe you didn’t talk about cam neely
I heard a rumor Spittin Chicklets can't get Phil Kessel on the pod because they won't put Pepsi in the Green Room for their guests.
Boston needs Sean Avery to police the bike lanes.
dude Kasparaitis is such a fucking G wow... need him back
Does RA always film is 240p?
Whit spoke the truth about leaf fans
Gents. The reason Brady didn't retire but played it out was to see if the Bucs could put a winning roster in front of him. He lost one of the top offensive lineman this of season to FA. he wanted to make sure he had a team that could go on a run come playoffs.
Love biz but he is way off on this cross check
Need time stamps, when is the trade talks?
42:27 Your not ugly Whit 😢
Stroke comin in 3..2..1.. 3:12:10
Wes McCauley wants to call the games correctly. Another lineman may be required to get it right.
if youre going to be a Leaf's fan.. this is it bud
Can someone please get together a ball hockey team to play in the chicklets cup and everyone wears a MacKinnon Jersey? Ha ha ha
Santa Monica Beach Roller Hockey
Crazy how many warriors out there going vegan these days. You hear about it in combat sports all the time too. Is it just because it's a good way to keep yourself eating clean?
Who hurt you Biz? 🤣 Eichels a POS, I defended him up until the Podcast RA mentioned with Rivet and Peters, I suggest you give it a listen. Really gives some insight into who this guy is behind the scenes...
i remember working for david pagnotta. disaster. never seen a guy hyper speed pound the refresh button on twitter.
Monster trade... will be for Kerry Price...
See ... COLORADO...
Whits ripping the JUUL
There go Alexi Kovakev was riding a bike in Moscow.
Hearing biz use the lady byng as a good thing for Matthews. But not hearing him say a thing about maksnapshow winning it.... Biz-o-cryt. Lolz
TH-cam Wednesdays only 👀
When’s draisaitl gonna get on
Biz picks and rolls a booger!
Can’t believe they didn’t bring up when Johnny hockey got booed by the isles fans. Biggest classless move by fans in a long time
Matthews is a great goal scorer. There is a trophy for that. Why does that automatically make him the Hart winner? Take him off the team and the Leafs still make the playoffs. The Hart is for most valuable to your team.
Kasper 1:22
Jesus you all are aware that the St.Louis Blues who are in 2nd place are also in the NHL right??? You spent more time on the NBA then even mentioning them on anything… as a Blues fan I give up
So am I hearing Biz correctly, Dalin deserved the crosscheck or highstick to the face from Mathews... interesting...
Biz is sitting in this weird stage of half believing what he is saying and half doing it for the memes
Going in on the Sabers fans is just a weird look
My buddy drank pink Whitney and got beaten up by his wife
team eichel ez
Oh please Whit. Edmunson's crosscheck was just as bad as Matthews. DOPS has zero consistency, that's why people are mad
18 head/neck cross checks this season all been 5K fines they were consistent until Matthews it’s a joke
Sneaky add pushing
so many ads compared to the spotify audio
What was RA smoking at the end of this episode
I usually agree with Biz but man he was off the fucking deep end in this one
Where’s the actually hockey talk?
Fleury... WILL NOT BE TRADED at this time...
Kasparaitis almost sounds like he hits his kids the same way when he was playing
