I appreciate loyalty, I recognize RA has some issues to address but I also appreciate the guys still having his back. Real friends and real ones stick by no matter what. Respect.
Fvcking unreal... Having this guy on your channel is a godsend. He is so humble and straight and no b.s. Dude is a hockey warrior. You guys are so lucky to do what you do that you had Mark Fvcking Messier in a room with you talking to you. Just awesome. Loved it. Thank you.
The Macklin Celebrini interview was really good, I enjoyed it. Macklin appears to be a solid young individual, who's poised and confident ! He's going to be amazingly good in the NHL.
My only issue was when RA sat here arguing for a few minutes on the podcast that he wasn't blasted at game 7 when the boys told him he was. It was pretty clear during that exchange that he's either an alcoholic or he's depressed and he was taking it as a personal attack for self-medicating. Guy just needs a few months to deal with his divorce and any other personal issues, maybe hit the gym and have some time with his friends off-screen and out of the public eye so he doesn't feel like he has to live up to the hype. He's got enough people around him to get through it, just needs the time to do so.
Seriously, who takes mushrooms going in to "cover" a game 7 as a credentialed member of the press. He looked awful next to actual professionals doing their jobs on the ice.
@@CaptainFantastik1 The thing is ... he's not the same as the credentialed press (he's more like a rock star) - so he needs to be cut some slack in terms of behaviour ... sure maybe he went a little overboard but like the boys said - the pod needs him. He's a huge reason why I watch -- he is an incredible character.
@@AsiaXPAT_HK RA releasing his greatest hits album or are there some songs that work with his Baston accent? He is nowhere near a "rock star" bro and Biznasty is more popular, yet BIZ is a "credentialed press" member who commentates games on ESPN and HNiC, so maybe the Rear Admiral needs to decide whether HE thinks he is a rock star or a legitimate sports press member.
Absolute legend!! My favourite player growing up. Had same #, same first name. Amazing interview. Could listen to him all day. You can really see his leadership even in this interview.
Happy that RA actually admitted he has an issue. Not a fan of him as host & think the show today was one of the best in years… but cheering for RA as a Human Being to get healthy.
I like RA but i wont lie, the whole Stanley Cup celebration in Florida was embarrassing. I hope that was a wake up call to straighten his life out. The last thing I want is for RA to leave the show, so I hope he appreciates what he has with this show. Please be well RA and return to the show in better shape.
RA has been to every cup party in NHL history. The only reason ur hating on RA is because u saw other people do it and it was the cool thing to do. No one said anything when RA was on the ice for the previouse 4 cup champs. Grow up or dont listen to the show.
@@wassupfuqqly7195 I think people are being too hard on him but that was a bad look. He made a mistake going out on that particular ice but it's not that big of deal.
PS , the Tkachuk family are abunch of ass clowns who think their shit doesn’t stink , especially Keith , and they are really the only reason this got blown out of proportion . Barkov didn’t give a F and neither should anyone else on the panthers . To be honest it was actually quite hilarious.
Saw Celebrini at the prospects scrimmage. The other team was stacked against him and he got off to a slow start. Once his squad got down by a couple and the competitiveness started pumpin he turned it on and dominated. Can't wait to see these guys develop over the next couple years.
I'm sure they are going to consider your opinion with the way you are talking about their friend. Such a loyal fan that has their back. Definitely not a weirdo random.
No he doesnt lmao like honestly wtf does he bring that the other guys dont? He gets sloshed and embarasses himself? Nobody wants to see that, its hard to watch. All he does is tell us news we already know, and ask irrelevant questions during interviews. @@c.9914
Mess is the best . A little dirty but he played in a jungle of animals. He dethroned 99 as my favorite player after they first sweep to the Islanders. Showed me what a complete player looks like. I always wanted to be #11 no matter what i played. Good to see idols be great people.
Is RA really that tone deaf that he didn’t think there would be that reaction to what he did? The panthers were %100 right for telling him to fuck off. I’m hoping he’s ok and can straighten things out
The way RA has been behaving lately, I'm glad he is taking a break. I'm not going to lie it was hard to watch the Getzlaf and Bieksa sandbagger because of him, and recently he hasn't been very entertaining to watch due to the drinking and not being able to take any responsibility for his actions. I hope he has a good vacation and is able to get into a healthy headspace and come back better.
Then u haven't listened to spittin chiclets from the start. The guy have problems after a 25 years divorce, he's been married since fucking 25 years old.
Only human being to cap 2 NHL Teams to a championship ❤ 99 had a chance against Montreal in 1993 but Marty McSorely illegal stick and St Patrick Roy beat 99.
What if RA was put on Game Notes where he can talk gambling? Then let biz and whit shoot the shit with the guests? Hope he gets some good rest either way.
I'm a Vancouver Canucks die-hard fan (sad) and cannot help but tip my hat to the Legend that is The Moose. Great interview with Messier, who is such a gentleman and WINNER!! #11
@@scottelement It requires complex mental gymnastics, but it can be done. He's a phenomenal player and leader. Mistakes were made when he came to Van. It happens.
I hope all the best for RA. However, if it's a problem with the bottle, it'll be really hard to resist all the temptation around him with the live events. I had a friend who had a problem with the bottle, and the group would pile on him like you guys do. Maybe ease up, because believe it or not, sometimes he may be trying to live up to the reputation because that's what he's known for.
Really happy with the habs free agency, din't burden the team with contracts that will look bad when we get a window in 2-3 years. Good discipline from Hugues. Not rushing it.
great pod. appreciate the signings clarity; disappointed w/Kings, the Wings will make the playoffs, can’t wait to see Nashville, TB is still very relevant. Thanks.

I was one of the people in the comments section recently calling out RA for his out of control behaviour and lack of self awareness when confronted with said behaviour.

Hope he gets the help he needs, whatever that is, and that he's a healthier happier more well adjusted RA come September. It'll make for a better pod, and of course be best for his long term well being too.
Getting Mark Messier on the pod, what a banger, thank you for that!
We’re all rooting for you, RA. Take the time to take care of yourself.
This will either help the dude or he will spiral even further out of control without having a focus…

Absolutely. Well said man. So many negative Nancy’s in the comments. Just miserable about their own life so they hate on a man when he’s down.
Whit talking about his crazy child had me dying laughing.
Best quote ever!
"You make your money during the regular season, you make your name in the playoffs!"
True
Always had mad respect for Messier, but d@mn he's next level! ABSOLUTE LEGEND! Mad props! Thanks for hosting and posting boys. Great job!
Out of Lemiuex, Gretz, and all those guys from that era, Messier is my guy. What he did in his post-Gretzky run is something I will never forget.
Crippled Trevor Linden to win a cup - Bobby Clarke style.
Having Mess on the pod is over due. The greatest Champion ever
Well said. Looking forward to Ra being back in a better and healthy head space.
I appreciate loyalty, I recognize RA has some issues to address but I also appreciate the guys still having his back. Real friends and real ones stick by no matter what. Respect.
