More than just a derby match in this case - the F.A. cup final was (and still is) pretty much the single biggest domestic match in English football, and that year it happened to be between two of the biggest local rivals in the country. It was the (very rough) equivalent of an interviewer 50 years from now bumping into Travis Kelce and asking if he remembered where he was for Superbowl LIV!

Your point stands, but this is Nashville for the draft. The interviewer asked slightly off-mic "have you ever been to Nashville before" and you can clearly see a Honky Tonk sign behind them. This looks like Broadway.
I would’ve loved it if he name dropped Connor Bedard before the draft. Good coy answers to the last two questions. Didn’t want to get fined by the NHL.
At that point, he should have said that he was in the room when they drew the balls and it’s definitely not rigged… wonder if buddy would have clued in at that time

the fact he said dave (David) Bolland makes me so happy, i went to school with that guy. its likely cause David was on the hawks when they won the cup. Reilly Smith, Brendan Smith, Brendan Shanahan, we all went to the same school as kids (just different ages).
The weird thing is: the more that you actually know about something, is also the more that you realize how little that you know. Meanwhile, some other guy might say that he knows 9 out of 10 about hockey when in reality, he really knows 0.5 out of 10
The dunning kruger effect! I have a 16 year old brother who knows a little about a load of subjects (Internet kids eh?) But thinks he knows everything about them, because he doesn't know how little he knows
that's why you never trust anyone that calls themselves a chef. other people can bestow that title on someone, but you can't give it to yourself. It's a dead giveaway to a shitte cook. ive worked with too many "chefs" to know not to trust someone that calls themselves that title.
Really? He took the team from having the worst prospect pool in the league to top 5 in a year. And that's without Bedard. They have 5 first round picks the next two years or so and something like 8 seconds in the next couple of years. They had ZERO first rounders last year and ended up with THREE. I suppose you could have done better though.
Saw a guy coming out from a corner store in the morning a few years ago, familiar face, and he seesy Habs Jersey and he's like "Oh you're a fan?" And im like Hell Yeah dude, can't wair to bring back the cup! He answers to me something like "Ill make sure to make it happen" with a weird smile nd i started laughing (the polite moron laugh) as i walk in the store myself. Took me a few seconds, then it hit me, holy F*ck, that's Geoff Molson, ran back out of the store and he was already gone, never saw him again, but still a great memory
I dont know why I got recommended this video but I watched it anyway and this is hilarious. I dont watch hockey but I'm assuming GM means general manager?
Nope. The interviewer is a local reporter who had no idea he was inerviewing a gm. He went to a bar to interview some people and a bunch of the gms were eating and having a few wobble pops there.
Honey, nobody does the each word as its own sentence thing anymore. And it's been just one space after punctuation since we left manual typewriters behind. Is there maybe a class you can take to get caught up to the 21st century?
Sigh so many people still salty Chicago got the first pick. What would have been an actual tragedy was if he'd have gone to the toxic landfill that is Arizona to waste away as they continue trading everyone away to "rebuild" every season. That decades long rebuild will surely be done any day now.
Yep, better that he goes to Chicago and has a legit chance of getting S#xually Assulted by the staff. But he might have a chance to win a cup, so nobody will say anything. Don't want to mess that up, right?

Yup - Tommy Lawrence who played in goal for Liverpool.

The look Davidson gives at the end... priceless...
He clearly knew somebody online could eventually figure out who he is
If it was rigged, I’d be one of the guys to know about it
He jimmied the camera
Love that Davidson just deadpaned it and played along😂
Until the little nod at the end with “very confident”.
Apparently he originally declined to be interviewed but came back after a while cause he though it would be funny and he was right.
The point where he starts slowly naming the most famous hockey players and then just starts rapid firing his players 🤣
Lol
