I'm so happy Jesse brought this up. When THG said it, it was out of nowhere, and I had to pause the video😂😂😂. I texted my friend and told him to watch the video asap. 23:27
@@omfg322 I don't doubt it. I fully expect security at Roger's Arena to be patting down fans leaving the game to make sure they don't have any unspent money.
Love the look back at the preseason picks. Great segment. Next time put the actual finishing order on the left of the graphic. Have a great playoffs boys!
With the Sabres, the biggest issue was in scoring and injuries. Upie is miles better than he was the previous season, the Sabres do need a reliable backup though because unfortunately Comrie isn’t very good and Levi needs more time in Rochester. The Sabres need more scoring,especially from Thompson and Skinner who were both having down years
Steve is such a real one... As much as he loves his Leafs he doesn't let that cloud his perspective and that is obvious in his pick of Boston over Toronto.
Easy fix for your ticket scalp on one game boys - register it like air plane tickets. The person who buys has to register the guests that are attending at the time. Then upon entry, you have to show id. It takes a little longer to get in and it's more work to process but for 1 game a year, it'll get the desired result.
33:00 thx Adam, as a habs fan, it was a blast to se the habs play this year! not much improvement if you only look at the total pts.. but that young core improved a hell of a lot! it,s fun to see!
You can do heart rate monitoring very easily with an Apple Watch and the app "HDS" Very easy to set up for streaming through OBS or whatever platform you use. Even a contrarian like Drew can do it!
The Utah Blizzard being neighbors with the Avalanche is not ok. ALSO the yeti was the Avs mascot for a while.....the big problem was that the mascot was kinda scary to children.
I used a partial version of my own custom roster using advanced stats for player ratings in NHL 24 to simulate a playoffs for my bracket submission. So many upsets, I felt terrible submitting the teams to win that I did.
fellas. absolutely love you guys leaning into the streams. think this is gonna be a great playoff for you guys and i'm rootin like hell for ya and the company. cheers
I know in the Slovak hockey league they have designated fan sections and it’s a riot. Those fans even end up going to away games and it’s amazing. Love the idea of North American sports adapting this idea
1:32:00 Chychrun wants to know where he stands with the organization, who the next coach is going to be and what Staios's plan is to improve this team is. He's just being honest. The team isn't allowed to sign an extension till July 1 anyway. I don't think Staois is going to trade him unless he actually gets a package that improves the team. It's either him or Chabot out the door, if not both of them. Chabot had a poor year, can't stay healthy and his no trade is kicking in for next season. Chychrun, for all of his offensive gifts, he was tied with Kubalik with a -30 in +/- for bottom of the franchise. The experiment of having Chychrun play on the right was a failure. The Senators priority needs to be to find a stay at home RD to play with him to cover his deficiencies, or move him.
As a Dallas fan I am here to say Steve named Tyler Seguin because he has in the past gone thru a long scoring drought… where he just kept hitting the post 😩
Those Eastern Preseason predictions are just the funniest thing ever, because they actually watch a bunch of those games. Goes to show the more you think you know a team in hockey, the less you actually know.
During the hits trivia Jesse seemed to skip over Will Cuylle (or maybe I didnt catch him) but I think it's remarkable he got there as a rookie just to note
Adam, Roman senators did fight. The Roman legions were always commanded by legates who were senators, specifically consuls, former consuls and former praetors. It's important not to be confused with the word "former", the Roman senate worked differently than the modern ones. For example, when a senator was elected to be a praetor, they would serve a year as praetor, meaning as a court room judge, as well as serving in the senate. After their 1 year term as praetor ended, they didn't have to be re-elected, they were now former praetors, they could simply serve as a senator with that rank or go to command as a legate to some legion or to become a governor of a province. After some years they could apply to the election to become consul, if they won they would serve 1 year as consul and after that be a former consul. And if they didn't win, they would just continue as a former praetor. So for example, when Caesar was fighting in Gaul he was a senator, a former consul. When Agrippa masterminded the victory over Marcus Antonius, they were both senators, Agrippa a former aedile, Antonius a former consul. Basically every single Roman you find in the history books about having military command was a senator
Is the Bowmanville show sold out already!? I just got off work, listened immediately and it says sold out. I work at Boston Pizza Oshawa. Can I get an in somehow? 😂
Everyone agrees the playoff format sucks. Let's fix it, but we need your reach. Could you discuss this on the pod? 32 Teams: 6 Divisions Eastern Conference A Div.- Tor, Ott, MTL, Bos B Div.- Buff, NYI, NYR, Devil C Div.- Pens, Philly, Caps, Detroit D Div.- Tampa, Florida, Colombus, Canes Western Conference E Div.- Nash, Minn, Blues, Chicago F Div.- Kings, Knights, Sharks, Ducks G Div.- Canucks, Seattle, Flames, EDM H Div.- Jets, Utah, Avs, Dallas Season Games against... Divisional rival teams: 5 games 3*5=15 Conference(3 other Div.): 3 games 12*3=36 Rest of league: 2 games 16*2=32 83 Games in a season Playoffs are sorted 1 v 16. The iced roster (18 skaters + 2 goalies), must fit under the cap, because I'm done with the cheating. Last 15 games of the season are against your conference (1ea), with last three being against your divisional opponents (1ea). AND You can win playoff home ice advantage against your conference opponents by having a winning record against them during the regular season... This gives meaning right to the end of season. 1st team overall can pick opponent in the first round, if they chose too. They also always maintain home ice advantage regardless of opponent record against you. What changes would you make to the divisions, format, etc? It still has division rivalry components with more games against your rivals in the season and makes all conference games more meaningful because you could potentially win home ice advantage. Games right till the end could actually make significant changes to your playoff positioning, so you wouldn't know months in advance what the matches are and have reason to try in game 83. We wouldn't be subjected to the exact same series every year. Why does the Bettman think watching the same two teams play each other each year the most entertaining thing, could you imagine a series with Matthews vs McDavid?? Odds of it happening are sooooo slim without 1 v 16. Don't give me the travel excuse for no 1 v 16. They do it all season and look at a map and see how far Tampa is from Toronto. Yes time change, but it's equal playing ground for both teams. This year's playoffs would look like this. (Home ice= HI) Rangers (HI) Vs Blues Stars (HI) Vs Isles Canes (HI) Vs Knights Jets (HI) Vs Lightning Panthers (HI) Vs Kings Canucks (HI) Vs Preds Bruins (HI) Vs Leafs Avs (HI) Vs Oilers
kinda weird ur at my hometown boston pizza born and raised for 18 years and now in edmonton, super strange since nobody outside that stretch of ontario knows bowmanville
The resale thing is actually a problem in some markets. Tampa (yes is a big market) has a ton of season tickets holders, but whenever the Leafs or NY, Boston play, people will resell the tickets at massive prices. It essentially pays for their season tickets, but you get a bunch of Leafs, Rangers, Bruins fans for their home games. One hand you're exploiting tourists on the other it's embarrassing because they're nationally televised games. At least with Panthers series the Lightning essentially have home ice even on the road
Yes the Sens are such a bad team that finished with 1 less win than the Devils, 2 less than the Sabres and the only reason that the Canadiens were even 2 points away was due to their TWELVE additional OT losses which you have acknowledged is a dumb system… but sure just gloss over the fact that Ottawa still had 7 more wins than the Habs.
1:20:00 Jesse is right. The Senators are called that because Ottawa is the capital, much like the Washington Capitals are called that because it is the capitol the US. The Sens adopted the roman aesthetic for branding purposes.
If Utah are the Yeties - would we have then Yeties-Yotes rivalry? (if Coyotes come back) Also: Colorado is more associated with the "snowy" things - Avalanche - and they also have the Bigfoot (basically a yeti) jersey patch. So this might be some arguments against the Yeties? - even if I like the name on its own...
The biggest thing that you guys all overlooked with the New Jersey Devils is coaching. Ruff is not a great coach anymore and last year during their great run they had Andrew Brunette behind the bench as an assistant, who ultimately departed to go and coach the Preds. This year no Brunette in NJ and the team tanks but the Preds thrive with a new coach, coincidence?
This is now the third show in a row that Adam has blamed goaltending as the reason the Sabres didn’t make the postseason. Both UPL and Levi had a total gsax in the top 20, (better than any leafs goalie), and UPL had a .910 save percentage and 2.57 gaa (9th in the league)

Steve: "NOPE!"
He knew what was coming.
I'm assuming thats a RDR reference? Never played so not sure but considering how much they talk about the game thats what I'm assuming
They stole that bit from the hockey guy.
The irony of having an event at BOSTON pizza is uncanny 😂
Damn good pizza, though.
Utah Stormin Mormons rolls right off the tongue 😂
It's NOT a doll. It's a figure!!
Will always be a classic clip.
Between the SDPN (literally the whole network), Chiclets, and The Hockey Guy you have my watchlist.
As usual I’m completely terrified for the playoffs to start.
Nashville: "You can't buy tickets to our home games if you're a Canucks fan!"
Scalpers have entered the chat.
It's cheaper to fly to Nashville to see the canucks hotel included then it is to see a canhcks homegame

Steve's rallying call at the end was *majestic*. I'm still mentally preparing for the worst, but DAMN I'm excited for this series.
Steve's beard is starting to come in. The playoffs are upon us.
It will only be fingernail long before it’s done.
The disrespect to Carolina!!! We’ll talk again in a few days.
LOL😂
Steve: let me see
Adam and Jesse: oh yea let Swedish master Steve do it. Varm chocolate
The "D" in Dallas stand for "DEEP!"
Dallas is solid through all lines.
Great team!
I can't handle going to a game 7 with Boston or anyone.
Better be leafs in 6
Love the look back at the preseason picks. Great segment. Next time put the actual finishing order on the left of the graphic. Have a great playoffs boys!
The fact that Jesse doesnt really know what a senator is was a mind blower for me

Utah Missionaries.
I think I've made my position on this matter clear.
You guys seem to be getting some huge sponsors now! Hope this is sign of things really picking up for you!

I'm sure Vegas is already working on a trade for Chychrun.
99% retained by trading with like 15 teams
Steve: makes a braveheart-ass motivational speech about now-or-never series and slaying a dragon.
Also Steve: picks 4:3 Boston
Time stamp?
🤪
You could have predicted the Sharks being that bad because they lost their 100 point Norris defenseman
The Jets going into the playoffs on a roll should be a good series against the Avs!!
Boston Pizza looks banger. Wish we had it in Toledo.

Adam that was brutal on the point/game trivia. There were so many easy ones left...
As a Dallas fan I am here to say Steve named Tyler Seguin because he has in the past gone thru a long scoring drought… where he just kept hitting the post 😩
Its playoff time LETS GOOOOO!!!!
Hey, finally open for the rest of us - I just hope my own bracket doesn't die in Round 1
Just bought my tickets, I'll see you there!!
Those Eastern Preseason predictions are just the funniest thing ever, because they actually watch a bunch of those games. Goes to show the more you think you know a team in hockey, the less you actually know.
I want a Yeti's roar as the Utah Hockey Team's goal sound.
Vancouver finished first in the Pacific, not second...... 17:00
Jesse, make sure you get a solid Boston pizza box for those pre game streams
15:30 ... "What was different about the Vancouver Canucks this year?"
DEPTH!!!!!!!
They improved their depth in every position.
They overhauled the entire supporting cast. Adam is such a confident moron.
Have you guys forgotten UPL exists?
And he’s so much better than he was the previous season, hopefully that continues and our goal scorers actually score
Ready for the 7 game gauntlet of Boston/Toronto 🥲
What about the Utah Saints?

when picking terrible teams to make the playoffs, ask yourself: who is coming out to make this happen?
Everyone agrees the playoff format sucks. Let's fix it, but we need your reach. Could you discuss this on the pod?
32 Teams: 6 Divisions
Eastern Conference
A Div.- Tor, Ott, MTL, Bos
B Div.- Buff, NYI, NYR, Devil
C Div.- Pens, Philly, Caps, Detroit
D Div.- Tampa, Florida, Colombus, Canes
Western Conference
E Div.- Nash, Minn, Blues, Chicago
F Div.- Kings, Knights, Sharks, Ducks
G Div.- Canucks, Seattle, Flames, EDM
H Div.- Jets, Utah, Avs, Dallas
Season Games against...
Divisional rival teams: 5 games
3*5=15
Conference(3 other Div.): 3 games
12*3=36
Rest of league: 2 games
16*2=32
83 Games in a season
Playoffs are sorted 1 v 16.
The iced roster (18 skaters + 2 goalies), must fit under the cap, because I'm done with the cheating.
