Me, on a whim, looking at airline prices for the live CJ show. Steve, 10 minutes later: "SOUTHERN ONTARIO IS A CESSPIT OF SICKNESS!" Me: 😖 *closes web browser*
actually for the montreal canadiens being on the 4th year of a rebuild AND being in the mix is actually a pretty good timeline considering a lot of teams tried to rebuild and were (or are still) incapable of being in the mix or dominant after 6+ years. Also Demidov, Reinbacher, Michael Hage and Owen Beck have a pretty good chance of making the team next year, i'd say their run is only getting started. always fun listening to you guys as a Canadiens fan cheers
It's the 1st actual show back, we've been getting themed holiday episodes the past couple weeks, so they didn't need timestamps. I can't believe people weren't catching on to that still.
40:30 Demko just came back, played 7 games, looked like a goalie who hasn't played in forever, and is now out because of back spasms. Y'all need to get The Hockey Guy on here again to talk about them.
@@wolfiedude121 yeah, but outscoring is more important than scoring specifically, and your goalie making sure you won't get scored on more than your opponent, single handily, makes scoring fewer goals way easier. You guys "really" outscored us on one game, where you won by a 2 goal differential. You lost 2 blowout games and the rest were all tight, 1 goal games. Your goalie being the best player on the ice for all your wins really puts things into perspective, doesn't it?
I love you Steve. The whole time you were talking about shows not getting better after movies, and i was literally saying South Park loudly. Thanks for saying it, and yeah, you right.
I’ve got marchenko on my team who was an unstaffed nobody his entire life, until I streamed him in week 3 and he’s been my best player since. And it’s cause Zach just runs that team so well
@@kugel7719 oh man, my “big 3” in cbj of werenski, marchenko, and vornokov have been saving my bacon this year, helped pull me out of the fires of bottom 3 in my league
@@dr.curious5136Don’t forget, Trudeau won 3 elections despite the Conservatives attempts to make people believe they’re the better option. Despite all the scandals, the conservatives were SO BAD they lost to Trudeau 3 times in a row 😂
Don't know about all the others who got left of team Canada but Andrew Cristal literally almost made the caps out of camp. The caps are a very good team this year and he almost made the team and yet not even considered for team Canada. Not to mention he's killing it on his professional team.
The round 1 pick from BOS to WSH in the Garnet Hathaway trade ended up being... Easton Cowan, which the leafs received from Boston via Washington in the Gustafsson for Sandin trade.
Does anyone out there know which episode it was when Steve did an impression of that very excited soccer commentator calling a goal? It was maybe 2016 or earlier, he did an impression of someone ordering chipotle in that voice or something. I know it’s very specific but I’ve been laughing at it in my head for almost a decade
Man hearing Jesse read out that Ducks D-core only fueled my anger even more at Bob Murray. Screwed up what should have been a generational d-core because he was obsessed w/tougher, grizzled vets on the blueline such as Kevin Bieksa, Clayton Stoner, Bryan Allen, Eric Brewer, etc. Fun Fact: The Ducks iced 5/6 those guys during several games of the 2017 playoffs. The one guy who wasn't on the team for that run was Marcus Pettersson. The 6th guy in his place? Sami Vatanen! We had such a ridiculously incredible d-core that season.
I’m a Blackhawks fan, and I wish they would stop playing outdoor games until we can at least be competitive. I’m so fed up with this organization and having them in the “primetime” spot is embarrassing
As a hockey fan. You need two competitive teams with history behind them. It’s not hard to figure out an entertaining matchup for all hcokey fans. Not just a big market team.
Claude Lemieux made it back to the NHL at 44. His comeback started by playing in Chinese league, then got signed to AHL contract in Seattle and then was signed to the big club. Just played the one half season before retiring for good.
AHL contract was in Massachusetts, but the rest is correct. That season he played for 3 different Sharks clubs - China Sharks in Asia League, Worcester Sharks in AHL and San Jose Sharks in NHL.
LOL Come on guys no comment about Flower absolourely Trolling Crosby one last time when the Wild and Penguins were stationed at the same hotel when on road trips?? LOL to funny.
I know for a fact that Easton Cowan WAS STILL concussed while playing this tournament. Love him as a player and not trying to criticize him but he should've sat out the whole tournament.
Not only is there a possibility that willy is sick, but the migraine issue can rear its ugly head at any time. It may not be that severe, which is why he's trying to play through it. That's the thing most people missed last spring. That wasn't his first run in with migraines, as they are the reason he started wearing the tinted visor at the beginning of the year. He's been playing through it for years, so for them to keep him out of playoff games, they had to be pretty severe.
JT Miller is pure locker room cancer. Never gonna win with that man baby. Yelling at teammates while on the ice. 0% backcheck effort. Wouldn't take him for league min.
Dude who goes to a kid's Instagram account and trash-talks them? Not even in my world of possible reactions for Canada losing. All I did was turn off the game at the buzzer and said oh well that sucks, I get it the team sucked and they need to build a team of goal scorers and not based on chemistry. Every gold medal we won was based on the best player available. It's the coach's fault and the management, not the kids fault.
People are so chronically online, and see so many trolls/ rage bait that it all becomes normalized. All the stuff stewing in their mind gets sent through an amplifier when they type it out and they manifest so much disgusting hate. The issue is that they also lose track of what’s online normal and what’s real world normal, so it creeps into more peoples daily lives. People need to practice gratitude (myself included) more often and just try to be happy that they’re alive on this planet in space.
Hello from Sweden! I love listening to you guys! I agree with you that Dave Cameron did not do his best work and seemed very arrogant during the tournament. But it was not his first time as a head coach for Canada U20. He was headcoach 2011 during the legendary final versus Russia when Tarasenko, Kuznetsov and Panarin turned 0-3 to a 5-3 win for Russia. 2022 when Canada won Gold in World Juniors, he was also the headcoach, so this was his third time. You talked like it was his first chance, because he has been coach for 10 years in the junior leagues, so just wanted to point it out. :) But I totally agree with the lack of talent in the squad they choose to have for the tournament, and the lack of chemistry on the ice. (Practice together helps with that). :)
Deffending NCAA Champion Denver coach David Carle wins back to back for USA,Canada flames out,& the Avalanche are on a roll...hockey going real nice right now.
I think bringing in Laine and the new goalie just lifted the spirits for the whole team. Sometimes it's just a mental thing and a small change can list a team up from a rut.
New idea for a roster game: the roster is assembled with players who were selected with picks that originally belonged to that team. Ex. Matt Barzal was drafted 16th overall in 2015 by the Islanders, but that pick originally belonged to the Penguins. Imagine Barzal playing with Crosby and Malkin?!
Keep in mind the sens are coming off a nine game road trip that included 3 back-to-backs (obviously with travel). Their last home game was Dec. 14, they will have had 26 days between home games. All while battling the flu. That is a ridiculous schedule. They went 4-4-1 on the trip which isn't amazing but also isn't disastrous for such a tough trip.
Stop ignoring that Orlov was connected to the Hathaway deal. Orlov was moved to the Wild for a former 6th round pick and then sent to Bos for a 5th at $1.275M. The Hathaway deal also included the Caps taking all of Smith’s salary clearing $1.6M off their books just enough to fit Orlov. Those deals are connected regardless of them being 2 deals on puckpedia. Context matters.
Marcus Johansson got moved to the Wild during that time as well. I think it wasn’t directly involved with the Orlov & Hathaway trade(s) though. Caps selling at the last two deadlines has worked out well.
I'll start this with a caveat, I don't know the inner workings of Hockey Canada, but Beckett Sennecke has represented Canada before. He was on Team White at the U-17, so I don't know if it is as simple as "they don't like him". We see this mandate to not take the best players from Hockey Canada, and to build a top6 and bottom6, and 1 power play guy. I think it's as simple as that. Remember the guys who were the 13th forward or 7th defenceman before, who there were questions about their age (Crosby at 16) or their complete game (Corey Perry & Ryan Ellis), who were in that 13th/7th spot and just worked their way into the lineup. We aren't giving those guys the opportunities regularly (Cristal could have been Perry this year, Yakemchuk could have been Cam Barker.
Dave Cameron, had been the head coach at 3 world juniors. 2011 when we blew the game in the 3rd period to Russia, 2022 when they won by the width of Mason McTavish’s stick and then this year. WHERE WAS THE LOGIC!?!?!
Guys, Andrew Cristall plays for Kelowna! So if anyone uses the “he plays in the USA” argument, it’s literally not applicable. Also, I gotta say that the most disappointing point from the WJ is Cameron saying he has no regrets. Like what?? You let these kids down, and you wanna say you have no regrets really?? Cameron should be ashamed for letting these kids down and not taking any accountability for it.
I was also at the heritage classic in the crowd for the concert. My buddy’s family works for the company that hires those crowds. We were promised the ability to watch the game (which was the only reason I went, not the $100 I was paid) and then got pulled into a school nearby and told that we couldn’t.
The only people worried about Rielly are fantasy owners. We (me included) figured Tanev would unlock his offensive game because he would finally have a steady partner. Tanev isn't playing with Mo and OEL does things he doesn't and now he's with Myers. Maybe the days of him being a 60+ point guy just don't exist anymore and he's a $7.5M guy who will get you about 50 points which is still dam good even with some guys nearing 100.
Hockey Canada needs to hire Gardiner Macdougall for the world junior coach spot. His record is insane as a university level coach. Including 9 national titles behind the bench for the university of new Brunswick in fredericton. Including finishing his tenure with a literal perfect undefeated season to a national title. He coached the moncton wild cats to a Calder cup after just taking over the team before the tournament. And is now the active coach for them. He ran UNBs entire program including scouting and recruiting. Guy is a proven winner.
So Adam are you just gonna stream leafs games then? Maybe you didn’t get the numbers with the other teams games? but I did like the monday nights . Was hoping you’d do Canucks Habs tonight. Gonna be a fun game. Whatever the case I’ll always tune in to the stream. 🙌
13:33 ok I live in Vegas and my entire family and many of our neighbors have been fighting this cold since before Christmas. Not specific to Ontario lol
I live in the Capital of South Western Ontario, work with the public to a degree, and haven't noticed anything particularly different, cold/flu/covid/pneumonia/typhus/bubonic plague wise.
@ here in Vegas it just feels like everyone is sick. Not sure if it’s flu or cold, it’s not Covid because we were tested for that. But it seems to linger. I’m on week 3 and still coughing
Canucks despite this drama have also never been fully healthy all season. Hronek play with an injury for who knows how long before surgery, joshua coming back from ball cancer, demko being out for a few months, boeser out with concussion, miller leave of absence now petty and hughes out for a few weeks. This year just isn't their year
Had the vegetarian sheppards pie at the Keg last week. Was surprisingly good. Normally go for the ribsteak but didn't feel like having more beef. It was a good choice.
Remember how in your very recent hot takes episode you all mentioned how annoying it is when people use social media to create their opinions about sports/teams, because that’s usually one snippet of what the truth is??? Yeah, that’s how you all sound like when you’re talking about the Canucks. I’m glad they’re playing the leafs soon, so that way you’ll actually watch a game.
It's getting a little confusing when the idea of Canada picking the same guys through different age groups, or the ones they are familiar with, is a bad idea, but the USA identifying a group and having them play together is a good idea. Those things are close to the same idea, but since one is winning it's okay, and the one losing isn't?
Team Canada's 1st line played like a 3rd or 4th line. Meanwhile the 3rd line that got limited ice time especially when playing from behind was dominating play and yet could never get anymore ice time. Who was the best skater for team Canada this year, Yager, and possibly McKenna yet they didn't take dumb penalties (Yager was the first penalty killer and I believe was +1 killing penalties) and could only get 30 seconds of PP time yet out produced the 1st PP unit. Cameron was brutal at identifying who was working and who wasn't. In fact, after stupid penalties and costing the team the game, Cameron double shifts the player.
Just my opinion but I think people in Hockey Canada have just assumed that the teams they’ll put out are dominant enough that the coach doesn’t really matter. Then they put in whoever they’re friends with assuming they’ll win regardless of coaching decisions just to try and give them something on their resume.
Nailed it, and thats what i think “its political” actually means. Its not about merit, its about an illusion of merit to get the “right” people on the up.
Hockey Canada now reminds me of the England FA from 2006-2016 that culminated in the elimination by Iceland! Canada can fix this as the English FA have, but they have to make some clear choices

He coached the moncton wild cats to a Calder cup after just taking over the team before the tournament. And is now the active coach for them. He ran UNBs entire program including scouting and recruiting. Guy is a proven winner.
Adam is having a real one trying to understand that The Habs might not be bad.
There is a quotation that describes hockey Canada " the definition of insanity is to do something over and over and expect a different result "
So Adam are you just gonna stream leafs games then? Maybe you didn’t get the numbers with the other teams games? but I did like the monday nights . Was hoping you’d do Canucks Habs tonight. Gonna be a fun game. Whatever the case I’ll always tune in to the stream. 🙌
👀 Windsor Spitfires mentioned!! ❤
Steve knows the trade was for Hathaway AND Orloc right?
Can we give credit to the Women's juniors for Canada who are dominating as they should?
Do LA and Calgary for all-drafted next, that could be interesting
13:25 i’m in arizona and everyone is sick
Let’s go my favorite Adam Wylde Flannel is back!!! It always reminds me of the Vancouver grizzlies 😂
Real talk starts at 5:20
13:33 ok I live in Vegas and my entire family and many of our neighbors have been fighting this cold since before Christmas. Not specific to Ontario lol
I live in the Capital of South Western Ontario, work with the public to a degree, and haven't noticed anything particularly different, cold/flu/covid/pneumonia/typhus/bubonic plague wise.
@@rodchallis8031Chatham-Kent? Is that the capital?
@ here in Vegas it just feels like everyone is sick. Not sure if it’s flu or cold, it’s not Covid because we were tested for that. But it seems to linger. I’m on week 3 and still coughing
@@rodchallis8031wtf is the capital of southwestern ontario.
Steven, that trade to Boston was also for Orlov. That’s why it looks soooooo bad. It was a 3 way deal.
see ya there boys!
Martin Marcin. I do not believe anyone at any point of his Toronto Maple Leafs tenure thought that he was a tough defenseman. No one.
1:13:45 scott salmond the overseer?
or scott salmon the oversearer?
Canucks despite this drama have also never been fully healthy all season. Hronek play with an injury for who knows how long before surgery, joshua coming back from ball cancer, demko being out for a few months, boeser out with concussion, miller leave of absence now petty and hughes out for a few weeks.
This year just isn't their year
Good point.
Beautiful title
Had the vegetarian sheppards pie at the Keg last week. Was surprisingly good. Normally go for the ribsteak but didn't feel like having more beef. It was a good choice.
Remember how in your very recent hot takes episode you all mentioned how annoying it is when people use social media to create their opinions about sports/teams, because that’s usually one snippet of what the truth is??? Yeah, that’s how you all sound like when you’re talking about the Canucks. I’m glad they’re playing the leafs soon, so that way you’ll actually watch a game.
1:47:23 I think the isles might be better
Dobson-Toews
Pelech-Pulock
Mayfield-Spurgeon
It's getting a little confusing when the idea of Canada picking the same guys through different age groups, or the ones they are familiar with, is a bad idea, but the USA identifying a group and having them play together is a good idea. Those things are close to the same idea, but since one is winning it's okay, and the one losing isn't?
Team Canada's 1st line played like a 3rd or 4th line. Meanwhile the 3rd line that got limited ice time especially when playing from behind was dominating play and yet could never get anymore ice time. Who was the best skater for team Canada this year, Yager, and possibly McKenna yet they didn't take dumb penalties (Yager was the first penalty killer and I believe was +1 killing penalties) and could only get 30 seconds of PP time yet out produced the 1st PP unit. Cameron was brutal at identifying who was working and who wasn't. In fact, after stupid penalties and costing the team the game, Cameron double shifts the player.
Cristall plays for Kelowna, he is Tij iginlas linemate.
They should have an outdoor game in Austin Texas!!!
Just my opinion but I think people in Hockey Canada have just assumed that the teams they’ll put out are dominant enough that the coach doesn’t really matter. Then they put in whoever they’re friends with assuming they’ll win regardless of coaching decisions just to try and give them something on their resume.
Nailed it, and thats what i think “its political” actually means. Its not about merit, its about an illusion of merit to get the “right” people on the up.
Cristall is 2nd in WHL scoring by 2 points and has played 10 less games than the person ahead of him
28:30 with that being said, Bettman has talked with potential new coyotes owners (cue steve leaving the room)
Hockey Canada now reminds me of the England FA from 2006-2016 that culminated in the elimination by Iceland!
Canada can fix this as the English FA have, but they have to make some clear choices
Cristall plays in Kelowna
Cristall is lighting up the WHL for Kelowna and SDPN just doesn’t care 😂 Also, don’t forget that Orlov was a huge piece in the Hathaway trade.
