the show What's going on? Everybody? Welcome to episode 27 of tongues out emergency backup. Goalie show one half of the show. Tyler Briggs the other half Tim hike oi then I say emergency backup. Goalie show. Yeah. It's starting to be a bit of a trend. Yeah a couple minutes. Yeah, they travel on a few minutes coming up. But first Timmy we took in the Manitoba moose game tonight. I appreciate that get the call. Well, I appreciate someone actually wanting to go he's not very easy. Boy, no and even just sitting there and looking at the amount of people that are in the rink. It's not exactly a big draw these days like 94 people there. Now. You've been there probably well. How many did you say to the Usher? How many how many times you been there in the last week? Well, I kind of exaggerated a bit. Yeah, then they're probably feels like it four or five times and less 70s couple. Yeah. Yeah muscles get a room. They're downstairs sleeping on the offices. Yes, Charlie howdy. under the bridge You open up your backpack as soon as you got here. Yeah, we're she brought a pair of jerseys. But yeah, I'm wearing one tell us why you chose this one while we saw the Milwaukee Admirals play and friend of the show Chet Picard used to play there and a couple of his jerseys. So I figured if I own these jerseys are sitting in a closet I might as well wear them for once. I'm wearing the baby blue old third Jersey or fourth Jersey said for jerseys at the time and it's pretty sharp. Don't get to see it cause I never wear it out. So so my question would be like how many years ago? Did he do you rock that one shit this I see his draft in 2008 would have been 2010 2010 2011 we crappy. Yeah without a whole day. Yeah ancient history. I just said I did just turned 30. Yeah, and I'm the other day not far behind far behind. Do you remember when the league had two Admirals team? Yes. Yes, Norfolk Norfolk Davis East Coast now and then yeah, they are pretty sure you're right. They had that one legendary team when they won The Calder Cup in a whole girls. Were they kind of her skin and to car? Key. Yeah, sorry. It's speaking the moose and Admirals when I was a kid was a leader in to our next little segment, but I actually went to a moose and Admirals game. They're probably the team over the years that I've seen the most of like the AHL IHL. Yeah versions of teams - the wolf's the walls. Yeah, but I remember I actually went to a moose and Admirals game and I bought a Milwaukee many goalie stick. That was just that kid that would go to the store and buy the opposite teams. Thing that's right. Yeah. I don't know why I would do the me. That's why we get along so well, yeah, but anyways, I remember going down to autograph a lie. I know, you know autograph and I look very well. Yeah, I spent a lot of time down there and I got a chance to meet Sean Pronger and Brett how our and anyways, I flipped my stick upside down so they couldn't see the team logo and they are they autographed the stick for me. So I was kind of a greasy move on my part. But my question to you is you got any good stories about the old barn go have good stories. It's really how much time do we have is going to be like a three part Apple. Maybe give me like Maybe give me the one of those ones that you told me at the Moose game today. Okay. Well, I'm going to name a different one actually back in I think it was like 98 or 99. I went to the gate my game the Moose game with my buddy Nathan. Yeah, Nathan green. You think they've been Brandon right here and him and I went to the game with my sister and her friend and we sat always sat VI in the VIP lounge behind the net because my parent because my uncle's company everything all Buffalo tied it up. Sorry to interrupt that's usually my job to interrupt. Yeah. Timmy's actually goes back to the TV first time. Whatever anyway, so we're sitting the VIP lounge and of all people Rick Campanelli Who's down there Who tricked a Pinelli from much music? Yeah much Museum Campanelli that cat. Yeah, something like that Rick the temp. I was I don't know. Okay, I wasn't watching my family near Dido finale. So he was down there. We're all stars drock. Yeah, of course, we're friends with the goalie for the opposing team. So we went down after and I never thought he'd become a superstar like he did but after the game thinking oh we met like Rick the tab, like I was our Superstar of the day, we went down to Jesse now after the four of us and my Mom and Dad, yeah and met Marty Turco after the game turned out to be a pretty good goalie. Yeah, not too bad. You guys may have heard of them. Yeah. It's so my but Nathan was like it like all like we gotta go to the gesture and meet everybody Brenda Morel. Was there a couple of their guys the prize yea Carlisle Saskatchewan? Yeah. It's not sign a few times also passed out at that side a couple times pretty banged up at their couple. We won't go there. Probably been told on here probably stories. Like I met some pretty good gold history. We says he's in tickets right beside where the visiting team came out. So the backup goalie sat there as our friend here might know about a bit. We'll get to that later. Yeah where they sit but if you only do a little bit Yeah, they used to sit right beside the poly box and I got to sit there beside like Kari lehtonen Ilya Bryzgalov, Ryan Miller some really good goal. Is that back in that? I was young enough. Back then where I could ask for an autograph and talk to them for a little bit during the game is pretty cool. So yeah, it wasn't weird. You weren't like the guy in that the world juniors hand and I feel like sometimes I don't know where else to go sister. I have so many no. No, it's all good. I'll just share one of my I don't remember a lot of hockey. I know I went to a lot of moose games, but actually I went to WWE Live which was WWF at the time with a friend of the showbread DeArmond, and I remember we had really really good seats sitting down like would have been nice. Or whatever and they the barricades were the board's right? And so I remember Edge Edge Canadian wrestler was fighting Christian. Also Canadian wrestler in the two of them took it outside of the ring and they were right at the barrier and I remember we hopped art like the barrier for us for us and we hopped down and we were right in front of them and they just like you can see like The Psychotic like fake look in their eyes of they're all smashed in the face on the barrier of fucking awesome. I got a couple more I want to share two. No no, of course. Yeah we Got a little bit. I'm so its first I ever saw glass break was actually going to meet him after the game through our connections, but Andrew reycraft it was oh, yeah, she saw him playing Florida earlier that year and I was like 2003 before I want is Rookie of the Year. And yeah, we went to the game the glass broke never seen that happen in Winnipeg Arena and as you're replacing the piece of glass the one beside it broke so that put a board on that one piece of glass was too short and aboard and delayed the game like an hour and a half own man. It's painful. I'm sure a late another episode. I can tell Sue a lot more stories because I used to go to every single moose game back in the day. I actually I actually broke the glass of a highlighter one time in warm up warm a shot a shot, but maybe on you and then I like just didn't like it because I never score more operated like a 6 lb in the corner. I went right through the glass. I remember that it was on the blue crab is like I probably renovate here may not have been because I get lit up in warmups. It's all good before we get too carried away with the Winnipeg ran stories. Which I know easily could I think it would be appropriate to throw it to our next segment as long as our guests as well. And so without further Ado. We'll take a quick little break and we'll get ready to go here. All right. So this is starting to be a bit of a trend here. We bring in emergency backup goalie some Winnipeg. I don't know if it's because of my bias opinion towards goalies, but like to introduce read Pennington side. It's pretty cool. He's pretty much living the dream if you Me I would pretty much do anything to be emergency backup. Goalie. Unfortunately little out of shape and a little old. I think I'm older than most of the guys in the AHL now, so we'll start off you're one of five goalies used by one and True North will say as emergency backup goal is how did you get the position so so obviously this is like a really new thing this rule. Yes has come into the league only a couple of years now. Yeah, so it was it was back in September. I was just at home. And I got a call on my phone from a number actually didn't have and normally like I know you have a number that you don't have sometimes you don't answer it. I'll just let it go to voicemail the populace in the message. But anyways had these urges. So I answered it sure enough. It was criticizing her seeing her. I mean, he's like he's like, oh hey Reid, it's Zinger. You know, he's he always introduced himself as ignorantly help but he's one of those guys that's you know, he's not the kind of guy that wants to talk about small talk like very to-the-point. Yep. It is this guy, right so Called right away. He got right into it and was talking about the new rule and explaining to me what the situation was was there just like yeah exactly. So say I'm like, okay, okay and do it wasn't until the end and he was like would this be with this be something that you'd be interested in doing? So I mean obviously had no hesitation whatsoever. I was super super honored super humbled to be put in that position. So of course I of course I took it absolutely ecstatic. Well somebody Wants to pass through name along like yeah. So like I played I played a number of years in the mmm. So and I played a few years with his at Geisinger. So I mean, I'm not sure how much Craig actually came out and watched. I'm sure you like you are she definitely watched a few games. Yeah. So I mean, he's see me play before and then also again just that that prior relationship with Zach. Wow. That's awesome. It's really damn cool the Gaia. I know singer pretty good back in the day. Actually, we mentioned a struggle Chicago Wolves and then car Lebanon after I met him the first time this is totally irrelevant to this he gave me his number Zinger. He says at the end of the game if we win, I will go down just bring me your jersey. I'll go down and get a sign for your take you down. Of course, they end up losing and he's he calls me like he's it's not like they're getting blown out that as your that bone Meester and everyone. She loaded up and calls me. So I'm so sorry Timmy but not going to be able to get it signed as the end of the season they're going to be out of here pretty quick. And I remember that like a bench like not bench-clearing brawl but a line bra and got pretty dirty and that series there's a lot of heat emotions between the two teams but zingers one of the best guys in hockey and the world I would say but definitely Manitoba, so that's pretty cool never met. I kind of figured that might have been your connections. That's not for sure definitely like a very very well-known name in Winnipeg. Yeah, one of those guys who come right from the bottom. So it literally like you were just wait. Yeah, we Kings and into the mousse or the Jets. He's with the Jets / left and the moose So now I shall engage all these and then just in GM and Zinger if you're listening on the podcast or you want it'll be awesome. But anyway, so I happen to be at a game. I knew ahead of time that you were addressing but I was at a game where you dress you want to tell us a little bit of boat that day and how you got called and how you found out. Just give me a little rugged I definitely so it was actually the day before they got the call. So they knew about this a little bit of Advance. This was the this was the the American Thanksgiving Friday where the Jets played like a afternoon game in Minnesota. Yes, and then Iowa made their way here to play so they called me actually on the Thursday night. So they knew about this in advance. But so from my understanding the situation was that Hammond was injured and I think there may have been an injury to either stay Locker dubnyk because CAC and I guess they're younger. They're younger stud that they recently drafted. Yeah, yeah, so he got he got called up to Minnesota. So that was the situation. So so they actually had a call-up for Iowa CJ Marty. Yeah. So I like what I was when I first met him. I totally thought he was just part of the team later found out that he was also yeah, he was coming up, huh East Coast. Yeah. Wow, so but yeah. So again, they just it was it was initially Craig that had called me and said hey, this is a situation tomorrow. Would you be interested in? Doing something like this. And again no hesitation whatsoever. Like I supposed to be working that day. But I knew that you know with my management everything they understand how much I love hockey. They already knew that I was doing the emergency backup for the Jets. So they totally understood that so before you bail on I'm sure I'm sure Zinger was probably just like god dammit. We just did this a week ago with Mikhail in the NHL and here we are doing it again. We got to call another emergency backup. So that's that's hilarious. Yeah. I know. It's great. That's what it's been so good. I'm liking it. That everyone's had the experience to do something this both Mikhail myself and then and hopefully some other guys is how you sure as well-meaning sprig stressed for Manitoba couple times and as has very common very caught up. Yeah. So well, what kind of interaction did you have with the team like, so it was well actually got to talk to Tim. Well Tim armies the head coach and actually I've talked to some of their management that night on the Thursday night just called me told me what the situation was sort of their expectations when any Need to be at the rink. So so I ended up doing the full day with them. Actually. I was at the rink at 9:30 in the morning. You know, I remember that's how I knew from experience. Yeah, so so they told me to come it was funny because they told me to come early. So I said, oh come at 9:30, you know, you'll come early and then you'll get to see the guys as they walk in. But I mean I showed up at maybe even a little bit before 9:30 and most of the teams already there. They're already in their workout stuff. They're warming up. So again, just just seeing that commitment. I mean I'd end of the day it's their job, but these guys There. Yeah, very very young. So yeah again, yeah got to the rink. I got shown to the room and everything is one of the most exciting parts to is having the equipment guys actually come over to they call them. Tuna. I can't can't say remember his first name, but everybody calls him tuna, but the equipment manager he comes over, you know right away. He's opening up my bag pulling on my stuff hanging in the stall. So something that you know is foreign to me. Oh, yeah. He's looking at he's like The bottom of my bag and there's like dirty socks and underwear. Of course, you know the last time I like seven pairs of socks. I have no idea. So he looks at me and says figure out what you need from this bag. I'm not going to touch this that's super funny. But yeah. So again, I got on the go on the ice with the team in the morning. I should all know one thing I wanted to mention was. The video before they did a bunch of video before the practice, you know, whenever power play and sort of neutral zone regroup things like that. Tim Army the head coach really really focuses a lot on you know, Puck possession Puck management neutral zone that kind of thing turnovers or like a big big thing for him. But he's also like a huge history. Junkie. So the one thing I learned is that when they do their morning skate before they do video the coach will you do the sort of like a little history lesson about you know some topic for that day. So so yeah, he actually it was that day was the The it was the 50th anniversary of the assassination of JFK. So he went on about you know, this assignation of JFK and how it happened a bunch of different sort of theories related to his death. So super super interesting. It was it was nice and you know, just get comfortable with the group something to ease a group into it and then, you know, get ready to hockey. I feel like he's part of the team at that point. Yeah, especially going through that. Yeah the full day. That's mean I just so yeah. Yeah, so the practice was great. I loved it really really hard. Probably one of the hardest. Practices that I've ever participated. Yeah got a question about that. How long did you stay on for like I know some teams they have the act of the scraps just and stuff say out after everybody else and he shoot on the back of goal. Whoever's not starting or if there's a third goalie they shoot on him. So did you stay out later after? Yeah, so that was the so that was a thing. So they mention that earlier I said, oh, you know, like Marty's probably only base earlier and a lot of the older players and maybe stay out for you know, 20 minutes half an hour for most of them and then most of them are gone at that point but of I was all for staying on assistants and I'll stay on as long as I bought it up. Yeah, kick me off. Yes, right. Yeah. So it was was at that point. We know half an hour in once all the guys to the left and it was mostly younger guys. I was absolutely gas. Like I couldn't believe I mean this is my first year not playing competitively so I'm not practicing on a regular basis, right because your 2222. Yeah really removed from playing him. Yeah. So this is my first year not blinking. So again like was there but the practices are not out there now and then again, obviously intensity of an Iowa wild practices incredibly High. Yeah. So even being you know you Damn is no slouch but it's a different level than 10 minutes in that died. I'd have a heart attack. Yeah - that's the thing to write as they the players know the drills. So right away, they're going to practice are getting shots right away super high paced, you know, they finish one drill quick sip of water three signals are there already into the next year? All right. They don't even talk about the drills. So again, really really hard for me. But yeah. It at the end though at that point, I couldn't really feel my body couldn't feel my legs. But I was sewing as prepared to stay on the ice for as long as I possibly using. Yeah, so so I actually did end up staying out. There were a couple guys that were scratched one. Probably one of the best Shooters. I thought for the entire practice was Dimitri's sokolov one of the sort of the Russian players had believe you played the oh last year. Yeah, so he was on ice and he was a guy like during the practice. He was one of those guys that really stood out to me a guy that really Ali fast release faster than anything I've ever played against a guy that can make it look like he's shooting one way and then shoot the other so really sort of even though he was here tonight. Really really I felt differentiated himself from those other guys in terms of like a shooting player and a goal scorer. So it was great. He was one of the guys that stayed on after because he wasn't playing that game so he had to stay on as well as a bunch of the other sort of younger guys William didn't I think was one of them and Gustavo Brahman? Yeah one of those Swedish player bitten so we chill I think and up I think okay. I'm not too sure. You might have played for Portland. I made me think of someone else. I'm gonna get a bit nervous. I get something a bit more inner bitten my drunken each other. Oh he was. Oh, thank you. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I'm off. We know what's going on Beatles. He was with them. But yeah, we're trying to tell him but yeah, so and then yeah and I hung out with them a little bit in the afternoon, but it Was think is right away. Like by the time you're off the ice you go have lunch. You only got a few hours. But yeah, it's I mean even back in the rink your back the ring at 5 o'clock. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah back the rink. I got to play a little bit of subha with a guy that's gonna ask that. Oh, that's okay because he walked in through the middle of that. So that was I was kind of curious if they like you do. I'm sure they would but that's awesome. Of course. I yeah I hopped in I was getting red in there. I mean I was Bit timid, right not as good in as I normally would be playing. Yeah with with the team but I got into it pretty early and they're trying to get the ball to me and I really enjoy that I really enjoyed that and again just just to see the team having fun like that too. And right as much as it is as a it's a job. He has very serious. They like to have a good time as well to they keep it loose at the beginning. It's better for them to go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Right exactly Gabby even sadly they didn't have to do those things for them and same thing right like but they did it's that's so amazing. Yeah. Professionals it was funny. I think one of the guys like all the players made me feel super super welcome, you know, they're introducing themselves or chatting me up. They're all asking me the funniest part is they're asking me where I play. They're like, oh, you know, we're do you play it? I just I don't play anywhere. I'm not even playing there's so what can I do? Yeah, they're like those guys. That was crazy. But but yeah again all the pleasure super well for me. I think the one guy that was probably the least welcoming was was CJ Marty, which is very interesting because I thought, you know having this goal. You know, he's gonna be excited to have an emergency backup. He'll want to chat but I think it was a combination of a bunch of things. I usually is really focused very focused and obviously later. I find out that he was a college. So I was that his first a child, you know, first of the year I said I shouldn't because I was happy gaming where's Cochran and got called up. I knew that and I was like, where's having? So I assumed he was injured and this mode a guy I look him up never heard of him. And then like I do my goalie video and that's the one actually mean by Page boy. Oh up is it got shared by it? Because he were like Factory mat equipment which no one else wears. So I tag all the you've seen my page. Yeah. So I take them all and next thing. I know I'm getting like 200 300 followers and like an hour and stuff. So I look and they shared my video but I had no idea who he was and he had played a few games last couple of years as like two or three. So now I'm sure he was a little like in the zone for sure. Yeah, and I thought you played a really solid game to play. It was really good. Yeah be in that position where you know, the Is you don't get many chances at this and this is of course one chance to prove yourself or show that you can be at this level. And so I thought he played a hell of a really good game really but small, which I'm a big fan of small goalies. Like I can relate. Yeah. Yeah Jonathan Roth over here a little shorter. We revive this is he daren't pank Banger. Holy jumping. So like I know when Gavin did it he got to keep his jersey. I'm sure you didn't. I didn't get to keep the Jersey know did you get anything out of it? I did I sick experience. I did get a stick and it was something actually I mentioned earlier in the day. I said, oh yeah, by the way, like I've basically got one stick right now. I've got two sticks with my other sticks like it's kind of it's pretty cracked and I think it's pretty good. Might come to the point where like I may actually need a stick from you guys. So as funny after the game and we're not asked him about the Jersey. They said unfortunately couldn't give me the Jersey but they pass the stick on to me was after you want to CAC in and sticks Premier to while and I've gotten away from using hamsa sticks mainly because of the price point DS but it is not a big fan of the myself. Yeah, the it's extremely light. So I mean, they're getting lighter every year well, but great steak. I'm yeah, I'm get just recently used it. A few times getting used to it a little bit. But yeah, so I end up with a stick bunch of workout apparel. I got these a hat. Yeah, of course that I wore on this on the sidelines so she sat in the corner my buddy kept on the go talk to him go talk to him. Like I'm on the opposite end. Obviously, I'm in the Badlands my buddies could talk to him because you you saw me where be give me a little and my boys. Holy shit. You really do know him. Yeah. It's like not that big of a deal my place whole I don't remember who was at the game with and he was just in awe. But yeah, he's a cool down there go. There's like nope. Nope. No you my favorite part would have been just sitting with the ice girls. Yeah. Well it was it was it was so funny because they I mean they all thought that it was on the team, of course, you know - yeah, I mean these conversations with with the equipment manager in the trainer who are also standing in the corner with me. Yeah, and you know where you're cracking jokes and I guess like some of the jokes it appeared that I wasn't on the team so, you know, these girls are looking you and your super confused or like who aren't going on and I knew his voice are you not on the team and I was like, no like I'm from Winnipeg. This is a one-time. Yeah, so that was super funny. But but yeah, I know it was it was it was get it was great to get to sit by the ice, you know, so whether it was on the Venture was he a bench super super exciting. Yeah being on the bench. We've been kind of the icing on the cake. That would have been pretty cool. But even seen that quarter would be awesome warm-up would have been sweet. I've always wondered stopping him a warm up. Oh, yeah. I've always wanted to wear it sit on the bench and wear that hat the guys hated Junior Hawk cabin where the half visor and And I go see like chat and stuff playing the Dove and they'd be sitting on the bench with her hat since I was like fuck not even close to good enough for that how we pretty cool small things small things for me. So I we talked about before is you never did get to meet Frederick Shabbat their goalie coach for no Frederick Shabbat. I didn't know you know for Montreal Canadiens. So do you want us back up was he he was there he might have been Tebow's back up. Okay, but he was around that Eric. See I've ever had. The same pads as well the old Coho 500s revolutions. Yeah, so there's a guy street hockey pads now so I can remember was it a back-to-back game or was it a day in between if you play the they play the Friday night and then they played the Saturday afternoon. Okay, so I was gonna ask if you went out the boys after to walk sees your anyway, I was I was was considering that they didn't go that night. I believe he did something the next night, but my friend said something going on and doing that anyways, but yeah, I'm sure. They did end up actually a four-for-one on the Saturday night boys. I'm sure they had a big night. Yeah, they want the win the game. They won the saturday. Yes. Yes. They did. I think they want both know that they lose that Friday night was the Moose one in overtime. Okay, that's right. Yes. What's that was the new schemes are a blur. Well, I was well, I was I remember sitting there, you know over time and I was just praying that Iowa bin so I could get to go out on the ice one more time, you know? Yes high five all the guy for Course, you know yeah tap heads with with Mater. Yeah, but unfortunately they lost. I was just straight very honest recent accident. Damn. It can all work out. Hey, the fans were happy. Did you did you have the opportunity to like contact any family at all? Yeah, so I had both my friends read the game which was great. You know, it's it made me excited to have for them to have that experience to be able to see me. Yeah see. Oh, yeah the time the commitment that both like well myself as well. My parents had put into hockey to finally Sort of see that realize. Yeah, even for one game super super special how much it meant to you right know you but them and exactly knows great. It was absolutely right to have them they're nice man. So, how often do you are you the goalie? That's how does a rotation work between you guys so for the for the Jets for the Emergency backup, I believe they do sort of like a priority system where one month one goalie will sort of get first priority in the next month else or it'll switch it up. So so sort of for the first month I kind of got First priority not to pick my games all ones that were available at that time and then sir, for example, the second month. They just said oh, hey, there's only one game left that we need someone in this house the game. Okay. So yeah, I've got I've gotten to go to some great games of turned out accessible snaps. Yeah. I've really only been to one loss. I think so far. I went and saw that the game it was the Minnesota game on the 29th or Minnesota played a hell of a road game - yeah, that's all they did. Yeah. Remember that one so that was kind of a bummer. But all the other games have been super super exciting like one of the best ones from that Tampa Bay game. Yes. I was over time it's five or five for so yeah, it's not one. That was a hell you get to watch it. I got to I got a two-year-old. So yeah bedtime usually intersects with with game night. And unless I'm recording the game, I usually miss it. So it's kind of a bummer. You gotta bring someone with you to the games. I do. Yeah. I know you take a guess nice. So I mean that's also been a great part of it as well myself. I normally get the chance to go to the games again because they're expensive and I would only go maybe a number of times a year if my parents are going to take me or maybe buy a game or two of myself, but it's also great take a guess because I could take some people that also don't really normally go to the game right so I can press box. Yeah, so it's so, you know, I got that experience multiple times. Yeah for them having the one experiencing to do that was was amazing. I did take my mom once which fell really really nice. I was happy to take her. I wasn't cool course so and Again, yeah got take a bunch of my friends. Who because you walk in the front and go up that elevator. Right? And you're up in the Press Box. I've never I I went up there because my associate association with True North off invited me again to WWE to live and so I got to watch wrestling from the Press Box and it was really cool because like this is my first time ever being up there, but they still had like all the Press names like lining all the seats and everything and I think the Rangers were just in so it had all the Rangers writers and media members Russell is there I don't remember but I sat in Gary Lawless is seat that do I just have to well anyway school. I'm really is that the game is at the game yesterday. We're watching flurry warm-up and this lady dressed in like high heels gold everything for a golden knights came down. She fell down the stairs beside the bench carry laws is just and the fuck's up and gear looks at me. It looks down at her he was like this. I'm like, I have no idea. So I gotta ask. Were you the priority goalie this month? So for this my back she wasn't believe it or not. I'm actually going away for school. Yeah. I'm going away to the Netherlands for an exchange semester. Wow, leaving at the end of the month. Congrats dude. That's sick. Someone that's been out that way. It's awesome. Yeah, and someone that likes to see how to music as me. You'll be able to see some amazing shows Earth. Definitely is half of them are from there. One of the main things that's got me got me interested in the area for sure. Yeah. So yeah, so I actually emailed Katie who was one of the girls that organizes hockey operations one of the assistants to Craig and she organizes the the backup goalie is so I emailed her and said, oh, hey, I'm still around for January. If you need me to do any games. I'm available and I'm still here. So she was on the impression that I was I had left at that point. So thank God that I had emailed her so She says oh we still need player for one game. We need to go leave for the Colorado game and coincidentally Colorado's my favorite team. Wonderful one of my other favorite teams other than yeah. That's yeah so actually got to go to the Colorado game in November the first time they played them at home. And then I also got the other this game whole lot as well. Both big wins for the Jets. Yeah. Yeah. I went I went to one of them yet ready to be November Yammer that was wondering what to you like him, too. Yeah. They smoked him. 7/4 I wore my McKinnon lose his jersey. And the first time they scored all five or six goals as well. Yeah, it was they seem to be or sorry. I don't down pretty good when they roll it. Yeah, it seems they've been struggling a little bit of his as of late. I think like a Colorado. Yeah Canyonlands describing those guys are still going but in terms of any reward rest of the secondary scoring is those not there right now. The top lines are not going then yeah goal today didn't kind of hurting them to this Soderbergh just get a hat rack. Yes. Yeah sounds very very does exist. Ask was the reason I ask this is your month because if I had a priority month and I got a pic I think last night was the first case Circle on whole season for me because like our buddy Tim Morrison bigmar country flurry fan, like really big mortgage affluent. It's kind of weird. Can you do that? You too though. You too. Yeah so flower. That's pretty cool to get a goldfish like you imagine if you would have bought it just for the apps. That would have been that ya know. That was something I was Every game I mean that was running through my mind and and even the the officials there say they have you entered the office officials sit next to us the guys that can do the go light actually so every game, you know, he'll make a joke. It's sort of it's like a joke, but he's serious at the same time words, like, you know be prepared like you might have to play today. Yeah, you know, sometimes I forget that and then I actually go and I'm just laying there and I'm like, yeah. Okay like yes, it's very Posh isn't just why I'm here. You're not just your watching. Yeah exactly. Is this your number one for you like doing this. This is your number one that has fresh. I've gone to do this. Yeah. Oh amazing. So cool. All right. No, you're gonna say, yeah. I really like this has been the first year, but hopefully not the last yeah going away some in Miss the last couple months, but what do you mean wait for school? Like what he was schooling? I'm in business right now. So this is my is actually my last semester. Wow, Master. Ideally my graduating semester yet through the Aspera school. So they have a great International relationship with a lot of schools. So in a wide array of schools that you can choose from and every, you know, everyone Raves, Go to Amsterdam of course and any and Europe. So that seemed like it was an easy Choice. Sometimes you want to Rotterdam. So it's a really cool Sam's you damn little bit smaller City sort of get that get that feel that I'm actually living there as the residents. So yeah, very very excited. Very happy for you. You get a chance do Brussels. It's totally something so go Tomorrowland every year but fuck. It's a cool City like so cool. That's Belgium. Yeah, right. I think it's European Capital, but it's It's something else. I don't know what second winter. I know it's nice brussels sprouts come from. I don't know about that actors read ask the hard-hitting questions here or E. So we've kind of covered your day there and a little bit of other stuff minor hockey. I want to talk about that. I always like to kind of bring up your Grassroots. So growing up you play AAA Hawks monarchs. What Community Club did you play for? So I was called kind of all over the Is with minor hockey even before waa my dad actually used to live in Riverview now lives and same hotel, but Riverview is considered for that Ford Gary area again this morning. Yeah, and at this time the Sam Southern Arena. Well, they did it definitely some tryouts. I mean, sometimes they're big fan of that rink. Yeah. It's really showers great memories great memories area and well sometimes I Grand Park went oh, oh my God. Whoo - all right Charles Barbara. Oh, I placed my sister Lisa. Sunday pick up there and when you play adults like we actually used to play a central League there and we have a defenseman on this term has ranks in the Civil legal or not. Great. I put the team a couple like XE chillers and stuff in these guys like big boys and like one stride and a through the neutral zone there. It's I don't know how those rings are still standing but backed back to you is Sergeant Parable. Yeah, so so they had I was kind of all over the place they had, you know, so many kids try growing up in that for you. Area that multiple teams multiple for Gary teams and the for Richmond team. Yeah, no Christian. Would ya sort of that whole areas where another scenery switching teams every year, you know, I played two years of Fort Garry Flyers your Richmond for Friday one and then it wasn't it was 13 is when I played my first year of double A. Okay. So both our goal is that the double-a level really really strong so was once that sort of fear AAA once per year two of them gave me my chance to come into that. Double a spot so it was a been throat. Listen. Yes, one of the goalies who who's also he was a monarch sky, but for a park in that for Charles with Hawks and then Andrew Derwin who also played for for Charles. Yeah for a couple of years as well played he was also that share our goalie. So so yeah, so we actually went on and we won the championship that year in double-a, which was great your first year for sure WTO on the championship. Who's your goalie partner? Was it was an intruder? Okay. Now is he stuck around now to date us though, like what year was that for you? That would have been 2008 or 2009. We'll just to I know 2011 2011 was when I was 14. Yeah. Wow, so maybe okay. So maybe I was in 2009 10 2010 Man 2008 was quite the year. I really doing in 2008. I went to work to her warped or is it's like a punk rock? Festival yeah. Yeah, it does exist travel accessible actually got out towards the end, but holy shit. We won't even go into what I was doing was playing hockey my picture of us and he loves you with your roller hockey trophy. Yeah, we won't be happy and ship ticket to the Nationals. Is that are a great sword parts that are grade 12 grad 2007. Skip half my grad to go play with the finals. We won like 16 114 was You only got to leave the grad party and come back with me and Felicity. Oh, yeah feel easy went to Roger. It's pretty sure he got stoned to the Bone at that guaranteed. So yeah to wow, so that age is US quite a bit. Yes. We were in grad I wanted to do though. That's good. He's good. So anyways, when you play AAA, who did you play with like some of the players? Yeah, so that's so it was after I moved on then I stirred it up to AAA. So it's bad in bed on her. Among those are first year and it actually I tried out for the monarchs originally and we had gone to the Final Cut. There was still for goalies left two goalies. Well, Evan Johnson was for sure go out the time. He's probably one of the best schools in double-a and the best school in AAA the year before that and then sort of was like a it was a toss-up, sir between the three other goalies myself been through like sand and then Shane teason was the other goalie thing. And so the other coaches said come forward and said, We'd be interested in both two goalies that you cut. So so basically it was all for goalies. We're going to make AAA that year. Oh, wow. So, you know really really strong strong group in the monarchs a lot of good goalies. So I got cut from the team moved on to the Hawks and then Shane it up getting kind of moved on to the sharks. So ended up playing on the Hawks that year and we ended up being the top team and played with some amazing amazing players. Well, I mean Adam Brooks That was our was our number one guy. Yeah even know that name. All right, captain and uncles he's traffic is you know signing signing signing agent who drafted the small guy? Yeah, so he's good. Yeah, he is really really really good one of those guys even at you know, 13 14 years old has the way he sees the ice his his hockey IQ is phenomenal he would, you know, do these plays where he'd come over the blue line and just make it look like he's going one way just rip the puck on net, you know catch goalies off. Like I'm you know, those things early early a way before other players because Sean of those things and that's really what sort of differentiate them from everybody else. He had think 250 points is last two years in the tub. She's crazier Johnny. Wow, just a little smaller guy. I know that fuck. He's good. He's a pretty good eats all player to yeah. Yeah, so hopefully yeah, I really hope he gets more of a chance, you know, the more ice time gets to play with better guys. I know he's been struggling a little bit Yeah in Toronto. I think I mean really comes down and sort of See, I'm you're playing too deep organization Jazz machine at this time, right? Yeah. Yeah, so she upfront visit defenseman in that organization. You have a great opportunity, but I definitely sense of running Jake Gardiner out of town go all topic for another day. But so that's wow. But yeah, so I mean Adam brushes definitely top guy I'll Chase Harrison was also a either went on to play in Regina him and Adam and a plane together. Yeah, but yeah, but you had I mean compared to the rest of the teams Natalie we had sort of much much Superior geum. I think we hadn't we Lost to regulation games all season Wow. We lost one game in the Playoffs historic season. And yeah, so again, but for but for me it being the goalie of his maybe take 15 20 shots a game, you know, let in one and then, you know, six one seven one would be showing your final score every night. It was gonna how it was so it's always me 10 saves or same percentages over 90, right? Really, that's what that's that's really what it was. Yeah, so so for me, I I wasn't you know, that's amazing. Not really that nervous, you know games right? Well, you know just be comfortable don't want any bad goals and it was guaranteed that we would win pretty much so it wasn't really came down to so the term and so we had to play on we actually went on to the Western bantams at year end up losing the final it was here especially here in Winnipeg. This was like, I think it was the first year that iceplug is opened up. Oh, yeah, that would be able yeah, that'd be able to tell the 2011 newsplex. Yeah, we have we providing both that time. We're playing the weight flirty division. Yeah, probably. Yeah. I think that was you. One maybe 2013. I don't we wanted 2013. Yeah, Beer League Championship. Whatever great prize, please Spencer. Yeah. Hey everyone just that is like a prize. That's a prize trophy. Everybody else was pretty we actually have a we actually have a coach of one of our of our beer league team. We were called the samurai Pizza cats and he we all autographed it and I'm pretty sure he's got it on display in his basement. So yeah. Yeah, we filled a few things are like second last son win the playoffs images when When all the way to the finals might have cheated a bit adding Nicktoons Alden, but did we? Yeah, you only played four games. That's not important. They don't take that away from us. That's the only Championship everyone. I don't be putting that on the air. So after you played AAA you went on to play high school hockey. How was that? Yeah, so I was trying to I was trying to place for that. The Thrasher's wild of like being like a late cut for the wild when I was when I was 17 recut. So was like the year cancer. I think I Say was what it was Tyler Brown. You're still Tyler Brown Navin Johnson. Also pretty cool again. Both very very young. Goalies. Well, I will Johnson had sort of been back and forth from the whle coming out of High season. Tri-City was also in Calgary after a little bit. So it means a Portland Yeah, I'm not not sure. It's not important with a couple teams. Yeah, come on teams have one of his portlanders again. Yeah, I have everything Jersey. Oh, yeah, I think that I think the something happened with the blues as well where he was kind of I guess coming down all the blues. He wasn't interested and then once he got cut because he had well he was confident. He was going to wh alright, so I want to say that, you know, he told the blue she wasn't interested. So, you know, the blues had to go out and get another. Lee and then by the time he was cut from WHL the blues are there they already had their guys. Yeah, it's that's really what the situation was. So anyways, he came down and end up playing for for my high school, which was great, you know get to play with some of those guys on I always rise with right Vincent Massey message it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so guys that I grew up playing with when I was, you know, eleven twelve thirteen won that Championship with when I was with you up with in double-a. Yeah. So it was great to get to play those guys again, you know, you have the most fun playing in front of your school or schools. Spirit like like at the rink. Well, I mean we were playing out of shiver stone silver slow to respond. So we just lost the city's there last year airball. We've lost in overtime to go to the cities and yeah cool drink. Yeah shiver Stone. You may remember we played there against Port Richmond in grade 12 and CTV was there and I remember we all went to Monroe's after to watch the highlights. Okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I remember we were here. We lost them they were like second last year something good bad team. We were bad and sometimes something highs in our school spirit for games was incredible. I remember that was it like my third game with Piper's? Yeah. There was a we want Tim chance because bees are getting lit up. Oh, yeah that happened to your bees are hate to bring it up if you're listed. I know she probably is so we're sorry. All right, Herbie. You better be these about so yeah High School Hockey Zone. Awesome. Maybe it's not the greatest level hockey. It's pretty good. But it's funny. It's so much fun. It's a lot of fun to make this a little bit before too. But locally who were some of the goalies who looked up to and also in the NHL while you're kind of coming up. So locally, it was really the guys that were around my age because those guys that you know, I played AAA that first year and it was really the sort of guys that I would look up to but also, you know, The guys are you comparing yourself to how do I get to this level? How do I how am I going to use this next level where I'm competing with these guys equally so those are guys like, you know, Evan Johnson's tie Edmonds. Yes, he was Prince George probably the best goalie in in our league and triple a for sure thing. The top prospects game see each other. Yeah. He's a really good gold. Really. I want to say set the record for for Prince George four wins. Yeah. You did my franchise, right? Yeah, no shit. Well, so anyways amazing amazing. Goalie. I believe now I want to say playing C is Somewhere. I think he is. I follow him with my goalie account and I think he was as he follow you I actually don't know kind of got to the point where it just kind of really stop looking at next couple days or I got like 500 followers in the day and I just like this way more. This is what it is what it's like being a hot chick. Yes. Yeah. You're gonna get the blue checkmark. Assuming. I don't think you're gonna find yeah, I think he is playing C is I'm not high for sensors. So don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure you're right. Yeah. I know. I think he is really good goal. I know that I know that. John's was trying again to the CIS as well. But he was with oh, yeah your receipt wrong. Yo. Yeah also great great goalie. So again, those are kind of the guys that looked up to locally. Well Alex Moody was also one of them as well. He has two blades brand we yes has two blades. So so the one and only year I went to a WHL Camp was Saskatoon. And so I so moody was there and I didn't have too much too much knowledge about Moody before that. That was kind of my first time. Really getting to see him play watch his game and you know, all these other top goalies believe it or not. The other goalie on my team when I was in Saskatoon was Andre Makarov Wally astonishment your for Savers pick played played in the World Juniors Russell s key for Team Russia. All right. Yeah is that yeah. It was year when it was in Calgary and Edmonton. It was him a vasilevsky, right? So all correct me if I'm wrong but coming full circle that Moody guy. Is that the same one that played Iowa? No, that's Tomatoes, okay. Sorry, I my brain was playing tricks. So I was want to see shit he was in Saskatoon and then treat the Brandy he backed up Ernie of the year. They lost to what's it called clone in the files on they had a bow and all those guys and then he actually quit hockey and I think he's believe he's becoming a cop if I'm not mistaken. So, okay. Don't quote me on that. That's Yeah, just something I heard from a friend. That's a cop so Let's leave it at that. Yeah, I personally like when I was growing up I looked up to like racial and beauchemin. Do you know what that is? Yeah, he was a World Junior. That's for sure. Yeah, I used to did a couple skates with him. Another guy was Stephen Drew. You know who that is at all can't say that. I do know you played for the Portage Terriers, but I did a bunch of skates. Like I used to skate with like fuck. It was like boy Dawes staves Scott Glennie Dustin Penner like all His guys and it was like is like a four-hour window and half these guys would be on one drink at the Highlander with a personal trainer. Then the other one would be like a bunch of the guys running through drills and we were basically just pop targets. It was nothing president. I'm targets it was like me him a couple other guys. I can't remember. I think they just played scenes and stuff. But yeah, I don't know where I was going with that snow for sure will actually one thing I want to mention two was was to Morrison you had mentioned earlier when we were talking good friend, but he was He was actually one of our goalie coaches in AAA. I wasn't asking who was your Hawks and City midget. Yeah, so I when I was 15 at that city manager level he was our goalie coach is going to ask that because I kind of figured the time frame my to work. Yeah, everybody was yeah we went on to win the championship that year as well a lot of similar guys that we had basically only player that we've lost from the datum team was Brooks who went on to play thrashes when I was 15, so it's pretty much that same team very very dominant team. But I remember just the other day. I was looking at a picture of me Ryan Braun who was the other goal. Yeah and Tim Morrison holding up the trophy for the for the league championship. So I still remember he posted on Facebook back in the day. Yeah, that's how I kind of kind of around this camp out of like Winkler Altona. Okay. Yeah, Altona I helped him out for one day this year, but I've known Tim fuck since Big Friend of the show. Yeah, you'll be on the will give me a couple months got a kid on the way. So she's gonna be listening to me and I go Timmy. But yeah, I hope homeless camp and I'm doing Tim fuck probably two thousand and two or three if not earlier from going to Rick sink. Why every single year with him? Hmm. But great guy. Shoot me from what I can tell a phenomenal goalie career coach. I never really had to see him play competitively as a goalie. But yeah, definitely being our goalie coach, you know looked up to him, you know major respect for him really good a very very very very positive. He was always very positive always at the games, you know picked up little things. So it was great. It was great having him at practice and Do Eddie at least some goal is stuff, you know what I mean at the end of the day comes down to the team and you need your goal is for the practice, but it was great. It was great having him. I like I remember like back in the day. Tim and I are pretty much Rick's demo goalies for all the chills that way like way back and I was back in the day before like just when the whole lateral movement your down the but if the push and the VH + r VH before that even came in that's way back they so but Tim's From why the goalies? He's come like he's brought up through you say at the southern Manitoba like, I mean cold Kahler Matthew Thiessen, he's had a couple other ones say it's he's done pretty well for himself. Absolutely and great teacher and he's a teacher by trade and coaching just comes naturally to him. So we're kind of running pretty good here for time. So I got one more question before we end off here. So being an MMA. I'm guy dude. Awesome. Thanks. Yeah being an MMO guy you're talking to a couple of kjh Hell plugs Keystone Junior Hockey League plugs. So we were pretty aware of what the DMM was pretty good League. What was the cage a child you guys, you know of it. Yeah. I yeah, I didn't use engine plate. I did have a couple friends that played actually had one of my one of my friends I played with when I was on Vincent Massey Mason Maderos went on to play in the land are oh, yeah for a couple I want to say multiple 0 each other mittie Roe's I believe he had an older brother that did play also in Lund are yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah for sure. That's cool. He's uh, he's actually the he's the equipment manager for the mousse. Yeah. That one's a lot of them yet one other quick managers for the most amazing journey every OG use one of the other ones. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, so but actually it was actually my first year trying out for em, I got a letter from Saint Malo. Okay had didn't really know kind of what the KJ was and then, you know got this letter. I was Seema Lower, where is this? I've never been to same all of them. Yeah, I do or this is so but I mean, you know, I thought about you know, filling out the application or sending to them. But you know, I was I was just putting all my money on the MMS again. I'm actually getting go away locally, right? Yeah. Yeah hold their worst coldest in Manitoba and it's a mall. Oh, yeah. The rank is actually like the board's it's like I'm pretty sure to get actual square or rectangle. Like there's a defense when you're coming around. Court Around the Net you want to put it off the glass. It's going straight to the malleus. Absolutely. Love playing the pocket my God. I hated playing the puck there, especially the 1/4 because the the Zamboni doors are like leaning in so we're probably because the backup if you're ever back it up in a game. You probably have to sit in the corner because there was no room on the tables were so so I never did back up there while I played pretty much every game you very much. Yeah, but that's where I played a bit in the mm with the Hawks off and on. Yeah. This is they they cut the goalie me. They weren't a big fan of him and caught him in and I went back there and kind of double duty one year and I'll spend a bit of time in the end Rachel but good night. She goes. Yeah, that's the way she goes. She goes, not it. Yeah the mmm. I absolutely love the MMA. I think it's I think it's great that we have only given Ali that's you know set up like that similarly occasional, you know got guys can you know still play competitively they have a time to work? Yeah school school, you know, it's important game coming out of high school to have that balance in your life. Definitely. We're not putting all your putting all your time into. Hockey, I think it's great deal and hangs up either you can keep playing competitive. I know exactly and I know that's kind of what the teams that broke away from the cage a just this year. They formed their own league and I think that's kind of what they're trying to do like the five teams that broke away but by the southern teams, I've got to go. Yeah, I don't know like to me like it would just make sense if I could couple them absorbed into the mm right because it's really not that far out of the city like Selkirk and yeah Seema was not that far. I think peavey's got a team Penn Valley the yeah, it'll be good be tough to compete. Is I mean you got storm all right there and wouldn't pay you obviously have What's called? The Raiders now was when we played the Raiders were like a joke like an absolute joke like they'd get one with a year in the Seven Oaks where he didn't even though Raiders Hockey Club. Yeah there and they're wearing black and the other where they Block in yellow. Well the satellites were a traditional good right? So that's it's no wonder why the Raiders stung I was totally back when we played like the KJ was almost on par with the mm like Norway house had all these like Really good, MJ H, l-- players that quit to go there because they loaded their team up our first year and then the Tsar set was at her second year that seemed a lousy loaded up to ya brought all these guys X2 Keith. Yeah. Well, this is an exception. I don't feel a thing and then like our Berg was actually a farm team for dolphins. So they had all the guys our age like 18 or 17 year olds that didn't make dolphin but went there and like Ryan Draeger he went on to be like a hundred plus Point guy in the mg HL and oh, yeah, it was way different back then. But yeah, so what that's pretty much wraps up the interview because a couple of my questions here. I think you already covered. So anything else you want to add before we kind of move on to some news after the breaker. I don't know if I have too much to add. You know, I think when we covered it, we covered a lot of it really it sort of the Iowa thing was the main guy was the most main topic in that was yeah again helvete experience again just really really humbled to be a part of it what's been going on great to get to go to the games. I mean obviously huge Jets guy. I know that you guys are too. Yeah, so it's great. And again, yeah super happy that you guys had me come and discuss to all people as your thank you for coming. Oh, that's good. Man, all right. We'll take a quick break and we'll jump into some of these news as we cap off this episode which is turned out awesome. Yeah, okay read is sticking around and talk some NHL with us, which is even better. Yeah, we've gotten more of this interview than I think I ever could have hoped absolutely awesome. And this is this is the best so he's not aware of segment that's coming up. So it's my touch me as a little bit surprised. Here's the blinds are closed. You can't really see. I think I hear something you something. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think the planes are flying overhead. Its Jets talk. Just talk the boys are on their five two and oh in an 11-day stretch, they are wrong. Number one Laura Bush wah, it was the story of the game. They sent me home pretty upset. Why is that? Well, my boy was tell the fans why Molly first reason I went home upset was that's one Mickey moose moose can talk. Okay. So this is this is the story. This is the one yeah, I forgot all about this you're going to it off with this. So first thing that happened last night, I wore my Vegas Jersey no Vegas to through the game sitting road to directly behind it on the bubbles was behind for swap or two of the what do they say on this Chiclets podcast like not a big deal or something. Well, this is kind of not a big deal. Yeah. So so sit in there if I think it was Keen eyes are tackling flurry right? Beside me. I turned to him and say, oh you don't remember last year and he turns to me looks at me and kind of looks back and he looks at me he says You guys didn't win either and I'm Mickey Mouse talk and everyone around us just kind of looks like what fuck and I'm like Mickey went rogue. Yeah, and I was like, well, we beat you guys and you guys lost an expansion team when Vegas or pits are Christmas trees in Vegas when those two teams come through talking shit the Jets kind of get forgotten. So he looks any again. He's like well, do you know there's no prize in second place and for second place and yeah, we had a little chitchat. And then he gave me a pat on the back after kind of just friendly banter. So it was kind of kind of a shock but I went home upset because Lauren for SWAT definitely stole that gave lastly but that was wow. He was phenomenal that we just he looks just so dialed in right now. So from your Vantage Point those two Breakaway walls that were coming down flurry gambled on the one and the other one. He didn't have a chance. He did his old poke check with she's known for and it does say it backfired to be an understatement. But I guess your bleep really strong and really really good as well. Not as much of a workload as Force wall face, but it was a good game. It was a playoff hockey pretty much. It was a nice size was a nice change. I know Vegas had about 25 shots and second period I think I'd read it. Yeah, 25 26. I think he had 35 saves before the third even started but it was a nice change of tune compared to the Anaheim game where I which I was at but I thought they were flat. A lot of points in the game outside. It was kind of a tough one to watch it was entertaining because I ended up winning in overtime but kind of a they sure know a lot of wins our backup schedule this time of year. You can kind of see it see it in the way that they're playing that there's a little bit a little bit tired. It's a lot of hockey right? No, I want to throw throw in some Ambrose why I know I think he's been absolutely he's been unbelievable. I'm gonna like so good. Like I feel a little like, he's played himself out of Winnipeg next season. I think we can all agree on that. It can't afford. Board to keep him with the guys they have to sign next year. But with comrie though. Do you think they would even try to keep him? I don't know like because it's hard to say because next year when calmer you recites assuming they reassign him. I don't see why not. He's pretty much any it's all All-Star right now. But like he has to clear waivers next to your car Maurice. We asked and he would get picked up in a heartbeat to be kind of like a Subban situation when Boston tried saying that's a good comparable and he got picked up early Greek pedigree, really? Engage all goalie. In fact the lot better than Subban was in the AHL but subbands a good goalie. Nothing against him. It's hard to see what they're going to do next year. I don't I don't know if they'll be able to keep or so, I think he might get an opportunity somewhere to be a 1 a 1 B. Whereas right now. He shouldn't be a 1A 1B, but he is like he's I think you agree with me read that he's heavily out playing number 37. They're unbelievable. Yeah. I know. I think it will so comfortable the net you know, he's He's not getting to see the ice that much but when he does he and so comfortable in that his movement is is unbelievable. And I think yeah just just all around. Yeah, just the way he plays I feel you know, I feel very confident with him in the net. You know what I think I know that water the players the players do as well. Of course A lot of people are on the workplace or saying the same thing and it's and it's even I mean probably talking system last year. Yeah, and it's even when you talk about being comfortable like they're not they're not giving up that many shots, but he'll books in the net right? No, so that Tells you right there that they're not worried that he's going to make those saves and I'm not the biggest. Hello Buck fangs. I mean being a smaller goalie. I like the athletic guy and so he's very positional and stuff and he's not that you won't see him flash like the swallows just he's got that confidence in how about a bit of a subtle Swagger to him last year? Yeah this year. They can read like 20 year old records. He has a bit record has been horrible by any me. No, no he He hasn't been great. Like he was last year. He's been mostly it's good enough. So he's I mean, he was a Vesna candidate this year. He's not he's definitely not this year. Like, I mean, we saw one of them last night for Vegas. This is kind of went over Jets talk. Yeah and say the other twos Gibson and I don't know if you can count vasil levski yet because he missed a bit of a chunk. They're gonna vote aye desna Kennedy you say flurry? Yeah. Yeah. Okay said guys we saw last night. It's late already. Yeah, and then he's closest his vassal Gibson looks pretty good, though. He if like can you give it to guy misses playoffs? I don't know about that. But like if it wasn't for him that team would be whole. Yeah dad last that be kind of comparable one Josie teodor want it in 2002. They made the playoffs so did make the pain they went to this one and I'm still almost in a wild cards. They are like, they're sticking points out over the roller yesterday Yeah by me playoffs will matter like when the voting obvious. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but making the playoffs really kind of pushes that like I don't look at Gibson as a heart candidate if they make the playoffs. Yeah, that's a good they are pretty good point at like really bad and the beer would have 12 game losing streak in they're still just hanging on mmm says a lot about him. So do you think a lot like grab our kind of took over from Hopi last year ended up starting in the playoffs? Do you guys like both you guys ask you both. Do you think that it's a possibility? That if purse walk he's playing at this level that he could potentially steal a starter's job in any pan. I think it's hard to say I would say yes, but at the same time you'd also have to factor in who were playing and I mean that's that's still a long ways away always away. Yeah, but yeah, hypothetically be Keys playing like this like you almost be crazy not to have like, he's late. Yeah. No, I told I told I totally agree. Yeah, that's why I think again, we've got the confidence to him and he looks good. But you know, he'll books that guy. He's also he has that experience to even though I mean, he'll bucks still young as well. They're both young very young. But you know, he'll book had a great experience last year played phenomenal in the playoffs. So I still think you know, he's going to be the guy they're going to be looking towards but it's great to know that we have we have someone else and that even if even if he has isn't playing regularly if he's not even at all the time he'll come in and he's still playing. Well not just coming in to mop up. And to be fair also, hello Buck. He hasn't really cost us any games outside of know maybe the Pittsburgh game a lot. Like it was I'm not going to compare Connor Howell back right out to Grant fuhr but a lot like Gretzky would say about Grant fuhr like sure. Yeah, he'd let him five goals, but he wouldn't let him a 6 right. He wouldn't like that rustling in. Yeah, exactly. Right? And other than that in the Anaheim game the goal Andrew Clark Lionel scored on hello book, which I'm sure he probably wants back like he doesn't Tend to let in an absolute stinker like that can from time to time. But I mean he had like I said that he hasn't really cost them any game like most of the games they've lost have been collectively bad games. And like I said go back to that Pittsburgh game might be his one where he really cost them and November there. Yeah, he led and hang all three goals were pretty well to three were really good Shooters on that pink. Actually. The only reason I know this is to say when I was working out not much of a workout is Our run but when I was I actually watch that game. I hadn't recorded a never did watch it. I don't know if I've ever went for an hour run. So it was It was kind of pretty good work. Very humble. Actually, I can't say I've ever done what happened to put it put it kind of lightly. I remember I did used to run like how marathons this also an hour around and being my cap is not very good. Yeah personally, but not total juicing. That's I can't say I have relatives that list did not take steroids period yeah, so yeah will be interesting what happens. I mean the Jets really need that All-Star break that's coming up and what like, yeah a week and a half when we look at their schedule. I think it had like a camera how many games it was but it was like almost a game every second day it is. It's made end up for the Europe trip. Yeah, it ended up being like a let 11 games in 19 days or something crazy like that. Like the I'm making up for the EuroTrip. Like you said they have like wolves. It to Eames and yeah, 10 days or 11 days moving away from the blue paint a little bit one guy that stood out to me at least being in the stands at the Anaheim game was Brandon tanev, and then he comes out in the Vegas game and he's all over the place again. Like when you guys think of the way his games going to see another guy that is like is almost playing himself out of it. Yeah. I think he might have but like his work. Ethic is just insane. We actually were talking last night at the game my cousins who the hardest worker on the team is I didn't disagree. Agree with tanev. I said Larry because I really liked his work down. Yeah, but Tana for a smaller guy that he doesn't back down for anything. I mean remember against was it against the Canucks where you stirred up a bunch of shit and everything but he's broke he's playing against his brother or his brother wasn't even on the ice. Yeah, but tan at like really liked animals game. He's on Pacer was at like 22 23 goals that hard to believe like, what do you think? Well, I think he's a guy that you know, like he's cute. He's continuously getting better. Yeah. It's like he's visibly better than he was last year. I yeah, I know. I mean it's p is always been there but I think his paw control talk Benjamin has gotten much better than it was last year. You don't really a dump and chase guy, but now he has a confidence that he'll carry it over the Blue Line Omega play stop turn around turn like yeah, I don't play with Lowry to like that line. I think every time they're all nice one. Those guys are together. They're complimentary something perfectly. Yeah. Something's gonna happen. Does he get Lowry down low making room and tan isn't afraid to do the same himself yet? It's just an awesome and I think last year when they were with Joel are Mia. I think Paul Maurice it actually gone on record saying that they actually had better offensives own possession numbers on the top two lines. Oh, yeah, it's phenomenal way and whether it was 10, I have Lowry cop who can jump in there. Sometimes Army who was there right? I wonder how much of it and I've had to do it Zinger bring him here because I'm pretty sure was his brother drafted or some other free agent Chris. I believe he was a free agent got many played a year with the mat. Yeah and producer singer brought him. And yeah, he had gone on record saying that Chris when Brandon ended up signing her. He said that his brother played a huge part in tell him blues singer anything yet. I mean look at all the guys that he got for recruited read at. All, right? Yeah, Mason Raymond. Yeah, that's another yes. Yeah, the XO we told an awesome story about in the last episode a couple other ones, but I can't remember. But yeah, I mean, he just knows a Rippin final these guys and yeah, yeah, it's very good point. I wasn't I wasn't prepared to also for that but Zinger has a lot to do with our Drafting and and WHL especially being a wtoo guy. Yeah, like it's also on Chevy like look at these guys develop like if you would ever told me Lowry would be as good as he is. I was like, you're crazy. I always thought you'd be kind of a Line or kind of a mucker grinder, but she is but he's also fuck he can score two. If you look at these guys to they're bringing in like I believe Lowry was the Scholastic Player of the Year. Morrissey was the Scholastic Player of the Year in the WHL. So they're not just bringing in good athletes, but the bringing in good people. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Mmm the pretty much does it for let's talk. Let's talk. Yeah, there's not really much much else to say other than we're first place in the central even less natural play today, which I don't think they didn't think they did. I think they got to go. Ames in hand on Nashville, so that's impressive moving on. I think we went a little longer but no I still get it's okay. I'll be happy now. I know he will be here. You'll be very nice work day Past Times. We're going to talk about a couple of trains trade trains. I'm sorry. I have a child and we're playing trains today, but we talked a little bit about some trades. So I said, like I said, I was in the building got to see Andrew cogley a nose final goals and Anaheim Duck. Yeah the former iron. Absolutely. Yeah the former Iron Man. He's on his way to Dallas for Devin Shore where I don't know a ton about I don't see this is kind of a nothing deal for me. Maybe it's just a shake-up on Anaheim side. I think it's stick up for both teams because I mean Dallas is really under produced. I think for the third year in a row all the controversy there around been like yeah. It's a good start. It's a disaster. They're not quite to extend of Anaheim, but I mean they got to do something just a minor shake-up. I wouldn't be surprised if bigger things come eventually if it keeps this way, but I mean down else that's two teams are really it's amazing reading the wrong way. It's amazing how the divisions of kind of flipped like the power of Steam down the Pacific and the central it's when ping Nashville and it's kind of all up for grabs like Colorado is going to slide right? We thought it was called arrive. I'll call the past. Yeah, I've been struggling with might have a chance to win the division. But now it's Minnesota Dallas could have it. You know, something else is back up to 500. Yeah with Jordan binnington playing. Yeah. Yeah. What's your opinion on gee Calvin picture on toes back as well? I'm just huge dish in that team big brain sees what was up with Petra. Angela was he's just hurt or was he's heading to his triplets because he had triplets in the offseason. That's a good trip. Well wonders the one of the most blue sock man. The captain's a little busy. Holy shit. I looked after twins when I was in Alberta, and it was like, whoa, I could imagine triplets. That's why I have even one when he says we're actually haven't mentioned this to anybody before actually expecting another baby in June. This would be like the official announcement, but it was kind of funny when she went for her ultrasound and she sent me the video and so when you take the ultrasound you can hear the heartbeat or whatever and so hear the heartbeat. It's like a weird sound and I'm just like that's just one heartbeat. It's not too. So thank God and so I had to do that yet. It's not in my near future. Jake Allen, uh, yeah. Yes. Yeah. He's I don't know kind of up and down. I will I got the beginning of the year. Oh actually drafted Jake Allen of my fantasy team and I was like, you know, like see if he's good. I was kind of Escape were then brought in all this new stuff. I was excited for the blues. I'm a big Rhino rally fan of yeah. It's absolutely unbelievable. Yeah, you know hard worker has some serious skill. Yeah. I feel bad for the guy almost. Yeah. I went from bad pretty bad. Colorado team to get even worse Buffalo team then went to probably a contender we would have said in the preseason in st. Louis and now they're bad and it's not him. We know that he's our sure. Yeah. It's right up there. Probably the top for it on the team. I was yeah my my opinion I would think this yeah for sure because Peter singles having an off here. He's leading the team in scoring. Yeah, I would a hundred percent agree with that. But yeah, I think like but Jake Allen has shown some signs and Brilliance as well, you know one night. He's not easy on the next night. He's he's like, so yeah and he'll have like two or three. I really like when he's bad he is. As a fast as a fantasy owner. Oh, holy smokes. So he will-he. I remember I went to the st. Louis game where he played here against was phenomenal. Was that the one he was was was it this I can or he started phenomenal? I can't remember. I don't know. I haven't even shot. I think the gate the game I'm talking about it was it was earlier this year. Yeah want to say isn't it was in October. I think it was in the first month, but really, you know, really really struggled. I mean, I think most of the teams were struggle coming to Winnipeg but yeah, Noah I agree that your girls, you know, really been up and down and I don't really know what the future has to hold for for Sam lose one of the weirdest rumors. I heard of the year was back when while I guess is playing pretty good right now was Martin Jones for him straight up. Oh, yeah, you mentioned that. Yeah be kind of a weird swap because I Jones has a great win loss record, but his see percentage at one point was like, yeah 890 or something. Yeah. It's fucking 9 now, but I'm sure if you asked anybody supposed. Yeah, I would that's why I mean, I thought I'm a big Martin Jones family solve my really big undrafted to impress them forward Calgary Hitmen second episode Memorial Cup and Brandon with Calgary. Yeah, usually pretty metal you risk it he wasn't but he was pretty much that team. But yeah big fan of they'll be a weird tree. It'll be a weird one. I become like wah, 40 below not quite the same extent. Holy smokes the a couple All-Stars there speaking of All Stars John. Yeah, I narrowly avoided death apparently. Did you hear about that? I did not hear you know, what happened was the 6-foot good thing. I wrote this down the six foot eight. All-Star apparently went to check the ice at the end of his dock on a lake in Michigan at his house and he fell right through the ice. He said he was submerged for around 1 minute before he was able to get his leg back out over the water and crawl back to shore. Yeah. Yeah right about that today. So I actually saw the video he liked because I guess he was home alone with the kids. The kids are up at the cabin and he was just going down to the ice. It's to clear it off to me drink, right and he took one step he falls in whenever and so on the video. He's like standing with his family and he's like, he's all dry at this point. It was a he's like, yeah, so about 20 minutes ago. This is where I fell and he shows the giant hole in the water big Ogre. Yeah, it's alright you think you'd be able six foot eight. You think you'd be able to touch? You know, you see I read it was like 20 feet at the end of his holy crap. Yeah something so he said he's yeah, it was about a minute and he's like showing his kids in there like that. So you fell there like commenting or whatever and his wife's like yeah. So this looks like where you stuck your leg up to get out. You see the big like footprint like the like Bigfoot but yeah something about whole but yeah, it sounded like he Bigfoot smaller than it just about lost John Scott's. Oh wow. Yeah. So I remember I remember we were in Chicago for hockey date America and he actually dressed against the Penguins. This was really big game. Oh, yeah, you went to yeah. It was a pretty it was a huge game. Like I think we dropped. Like 400 500 us. Each on tickets row 0 1 I'll get America was year after the Hawks won their first cup. So you guys are clapping Journey Anthony. I didn't as opinions van. I didn't take part in of the shenanigans that night and I did the other two nights, but John Scott played that can cause I can't remember the Penguins had many ways. We bought those tickets are gone or something. Well fuck or steidle Tom sestito and this is Chris and smooth criminal. But yeah, that's my first time seeing John's closet holy. Fuck who is this guy and hemorrhoids going with this story one of my rambling stories. Yeah. I can't remember. It's all good. I remember I don't remember anything there. So I think I think our listeners a pretty used to this country, but right. Yeah, I just wanted while the goalies are here. Just want to just want to give a little shout out to Antti Niemi who made some tea to saves last night. 52 say said, oh, yeah, he made a couple Breakaway saves death our phenomenal just super comfortable in that. He's the guy yeah save on the Breakaway. I'm just this isn't this is the Antti Niemi that we saw, you know years ago and then we saw it like a couple India 19. Yummy really? Even though as you remember last year like he was a Pittsburgh. I think he got with twice. Yeah, wait why some Swisher last year Pittsburgh? I like a 780 save percentage is not great. It was not good because it was like we put them in for a period there I go. Yeah. Okay, that was a bad idea and he went to Dallas noise, Florida, Florida. Oh, yeah. It was Florida again one thing. Written great. I'll go. Well then with the Montreal started, I remember started at Lee and then go a lot better and he's been pretty good for them this year 10. So shout out to her Antti Niemi. I had opened the antidote antique neomi horse. Yeah listener. Okay, so I think I'll skip the next one but the Calgary Flames they're announcing Thursday their plans for retiring Jarome. Iginla's number 12. Yeah. I know Rafters in the saddledome. Do you know the two numbers they have up there? The saddledome greed we talked about this earlier. We did we did talk money. So we're kind of cheating a little bit. One of them's a goalie. I'll give you a hint. It's a goalie. Is it well, I was inside one of them is it halt no, no. Mike Vernon think of pink mustache and Lanny McDonald McDonald. Yeah, you would think kippered be up there by now. But yeah, I don't what's taking so long and that every single team record. But yeah again lost when you think Flames, who do you think of Fred brathwaite for sure ruined Turek fuck not room direct, right? This isn't just a goalie Park. Yeah. Sorry seems that way. I'm totally cool with it, man. I love goalies growing up. I any chance I get to put on the gear at the old Teresa. Yeah, that's cool. I love it. I love going well. If you ever want to play beer league I both love that someone so said to me so the problem with me so the problem with me so growing up like we had our community club gear. And so I would always really obvious it I catch right and so there was never a right glove growing up everywhere. And so I would play it with his left glove. I eventually learned how to catch left. And so people with street hockey gear. I would catch listen I can do it. I can actually do it, but I've never actually tried like Like full gear with a deal in many ways and Kenton that both laugh. Well cam SAS my beer league lie, shoutout to Sasser. He's actually self pop your applicants. Come see us play with the Canucks it against a SAS conducts. Another SAS is Chris. I'd love to dress up in that. Oh Division two or three Highlander spare gladly soap is me honestly, I think I do. Okay. I remember that Highlander game. Oh, no you weren't you were you're at tryouts Henry like 22, you're a trout I think bees was that connects tryouts. I was in Nepal, I think and you were like, yeah my spare goalie gears like in the garage. They usually roll a caucus. Yeah, so I grabbed his gear and I wore his gear for for a playoff game at the hilum rocky so Rocky Playoff game you think we lost like six five and over time like I actually did. Okay. So yeah with a like glove right? I've never like we probably would have won if I had real gear but right glove so we can't have it all I guess she doesn't always go. So all right, we're kind of winding it. Yeah everyone or down there last couple points that Connor Garland thing. Okay, so Connor Garland on the coyotes you mention it when we saw him on the TV there you remember kind of what happened in the game. Yeah, so Sodom guy he got crushed rock from behind. It seemed in front of the net he was battling fell down and then it was it was as he was getting up. Yes. He's soaked the shot to the face. Yes, he did which went off his face in in. Oh my God. And so I think the craziest part is that he was he wasn't even looking at you know, the shot that was coming as in use, you know looking at the goal. You have dosed out of sideways. Yeah, and then out of nowhere boom. Yeah shots the side of the face. Oh my God. No, I can't imagine. And as you can imagine leaking blood and he's laying there in the crease and the crazy thing was is that they actually clock the shot. It was a 70 miles an hour shot. Oh breaking news Tim has a we got a train Town outs as Gary Bettman was see if this all dropped so so Ducks acquire. Yes in the Batman voice. I can't do it for this long. So the docs acquire who's the porn star? He was always texting always an or something. Yes. Yes. I think it was. Yeah, Michael del zotto the he stalked a porn star in case you know in exchange. Yeah, that's where she lives in exchange for. He's probably he's pretty she's probably the first one he text me. I'm sure he did. I'm sure that's part of the deal so go down and if she wants for former first-round pick and I'm pretty sure this will be his 31st team Luke Schenn and a draft pick. So when I saw Shannon when you flash the phone to me, I was like, oh man. The blues is unloaded Brayden Schenn. Holy shit. Whatever how mad he was after he tried staz me last year? Yeah, he raced as he was passed. Wow. I bet you he's on his way out to he's not having any word on what that pic might be. I don't know. Wow. Well, the good news is Lisa Ann. I don't know if she'd be happy about that. Yeah. I don't know. I'm happy for you know, he's getting another shot or you can move on and find another. Well, maybe Luke Shen's getting another shot elf. I guess. That's what you call him. So no funter. Alright, I'm back to the solution yakeen team and like Vancouver. I think it would be if I could if I was like an NHL player. I live in any City Vancouver Vancouver much all cheering amazing amazing place to live there cranks is out there right here. He's having a hell of a time. Yeah, he loves. He loves it really listen. So we go. Back to the the Garland thing the thing that stunned me the most was of course, he's leaking blood like that. He leaves the game. Just got shot in the temple with a 70 mile an hour Slap Shot. Like why didn't the concussion spotters white? How did they let him come back in the game? He did score later. So of course, he's the true warrior. He came back later in the third scored. Yeah, so he's ready for when he got hit. Hey, yeah, you got credit was a power play goal actually goes so he's too so, you know, he's going to be Arcanine Canada, Don Cherry's going to be going. Oh, yeah good Christian boy played in Moncton my kind of go wherever he's from monkeymod cats. Maybe I can't even see his name, right? Yeah the rats Gunnar Karl and what a beauty those aren't doing it. So why was he logged back to play? There's so many flaws in that whole thing. Like remember the other night when he'll about got the need of the head. Who was that against Mel Brooks complaining he's getting around a lot. So So yeah, the other night he got smoked. I can't remember who it was against I can track who's been years been so many hockey games in Winnipeg lately, but you actually smoke I thought for sure he is coming on his helmet went flying and nothing and then we go back to that Byfuglien incident. I was talking about earlier with Alexia. Kick. I don't think he was good to go. No, he misses a game after to because you can get but get his leg over the definitely wasn't a little Custom protocol and I really dance does not look at it with all these lawsuits coming and as we get to know more about concussions, which more and more every day. Yeah, it's not great. The news is coming up. It is good. Yeah, it's not great for the guys who have been affected. Right? I mean it's it's the players to right and you're like the the players want to be out there. They are contributing and is as much as the doctor they're going to say. Oh, you know, you probably shouldn't play the players gonna be like, I want to play like, I want to be all nice I can let me go out there. Exactly. So I've been in that position like it's hard to tell someone that you can't go out and play. I'm wondering how many of these guys that are suing not to throw shade on them or anything. Of course if they had no one the consequences of the time and stuff almost won a bet he would ask to go back out there and stuff like yeah, what's his name? Peluso? Not Anthony pugliese. So Mike police don't like loose old former. Devil, New Jersey. Definitely super hot, New Jersey Devils Big Time Lou laboratory right now. Whoever Ellen like I guarantee if you would ask them like you want to go back out. Yeah, they would melt there in a heartbeat. I'm gonna show ya. I wish you could go in a Time Warp and go back to that to really have like it's all hypothetical. Yeah for sure to have like a true judgment on it, but I would true opinion I guess but I'm pretty much does it for the random hits I suppose we'll take a break here and go into our fire and up with the birthdays. Just do it right now. Let's just do it. Okay. Was it January? 15 16, it's Jerry sick. It's technically Johnny. 17th. Yeah, I'll let you guys pick which do you guys want to do 17th or 16? So 16?

Following the Moose game Wednesday night , we were stoked to welcome Reid Pennington to the pod! Reid is a young local goaltender who is fresh off 4 years in the Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League, splitting his time between the Ft. Garry Twins and St. Boniface Riels. Pennington’s dream came true as he was summoned as the Emergency Backup for the AHL's Iowa Wild back in November. He goes into great detail about his experience, including getting the call from Jets Asst. GM 'Zinger' the day before, taking inthe full game day preparation with the squad, history lessons from Iowa's Head Coach as well as his in game experience. Reid even takes the time to reflect on some local goalie influences growing up. He opens up about his minor hockey days, including playing Triple-A hockey here in Winnipeg, as well as suiting up for his high school team. Our guest even sticks around to discuss the success of our Jets, and we hit the headlines around the league, including big John Scott's brush with death, and the retirement of Jarome Iginla's number 12 in Calgary. Timmy even breaks a trade live on air! Thanks to Reid for one hell of an interview, and we wish him good luck as he takes his talents across the Atlantic to The Netherlands on a school exchange program in just a few weeks!
