This is Wild on 7th your favorite wild podcast did you guys see this this is unbelievable what is that all about ker get in here for the real thing like let’s get weird maybe I blacked out trying to figure out what was going on doubt worry fear cuz that’s what we’re
Breaking the mold on here welcome to Wild on 7 presented by Pilot Gaines we’re here until it’s here we should be pissed off when we play the game put her skates out and like understand what’s what’s at stake here like we’re losing points by the freaking second and it’s frustrating and
Um honestly I don’t even know what to say anymore it’s frustrating yeah we just need more Pride honestly it comes down to Pride and just wanting it and um it’s frustrating here like s in a row that’s [ __ ] unacceptable like especially with the group of guys in here like it’s
Not good enough and we we should be pissed off right now and there’s a lot of negativity surrounding us right now but that’s an excuse like we got to be we got to be pissed off here we got to we got to be mad and like fully take
Advantage of this and what’s at stake here like we’re we’re drling by the second here we got to start you know winning games here yeah we might have had 40 shots on that tonight but we didn’t win the hockey game we didn’t get two points and that’s not that’s
Unacceptable welcome back to Wild on 7th your favorite wild podcast uh as always presented by Pilot games make sure you uh you play their e tabs their products when you’re out cuz uh when you play your community wins ker speaking of winning that’s something that unfortunately for the wild they haven’t
Done in quite some time hey you know what let’s I’m going to take a second here and try to keep things positive because the Wild hav’t and as much as it’s it’s it went from not looking like wild hockey to starting to look a little bit more like wild hockey they still
Haven’t won games and the unfortunate part is that I mean now all of a sudden pressure’s absolutely piled up but it could be worse I mean if it wasn’t for Sweden where it was two games in 12 days like it could be it could be 10 11 in a row
Right now so on the bright side it’s only been seven in a row oh that’s okay I don’t even know I guess think about that though think about that though it was two games so you’re assuming any game we would have played we would have
Lost I don’t know I mean this the streak is alive oh it’s been bad man I’m not doing good you’re not doing well no let’s let’s go for a wellness check well let’s set the podcast uh we do have a pre-recorded interview uh with friend of the show Jake Middleton which and Jake
Is wonderful I just love Jake so at least you get to listen to that you know and it’s a good interview it was a good interview if you have ADD you’re going to love it CU we Bounce Around quite a bit in that one he’s a hard he’s it’s
Hard to interview Jake CU he’s he’s just so gregarious and Goofy and other words that start with G and you just you just kind of like you just Meander I that’s what I do I mean I I like too that he’s comfortable enough to like rib us a
Little bit and call us out on stuff so yeah he’ll just every once in a while like he takes over the interview he’s awesome he’s a good time I I’d like to uh what did he kind of threw an invite out there oh he was like you want to go
To Billy you panicked and I was like you panicked I was like clinging to his leg like a labador all you needed to say was yes but you couldn’t get it up you wanted to like not be like fan wanted to play it cool and be like n I’m I’m good
I’m good but deep inside I could see that you wanted to be like yes can we go now please that could be the slump Buster if I go to billies with uh with him but let’s do a wellness check on you um we might have to stop into Billy
Sushi and wellness check on some of the other guys as well but I’m doing terrible terrible yeah it’s not going good I uh I’ve made the mistake of betting on all the games um and you know like like the young kids will say all you can always win in blackjack all you
Got to do is have two hands in a row that win and you keep doubling down whatever amount you lost and so it’s a foolproof system as long as you have enough money you can always win in blackjack so I kind of I haven’t been
Doubling my bet but I’ve been like I got even aggressive yesterday I took the uh the plus one and a half like not only are the wild going to win they’re going to win by at least two goals um make more money get the odds bigger and yeah
So I’m like I feel like I’m a part of it because I’ve been just draining my gambling accounts filling them back up betting every game to win betting Carill to get three points all the time and he’s got two it’s gone up to plus 900 on Carill to get three points um that’s
Raised uh just missed it a couple times but yeah it’s been uh my group text guys are watching the NBA like guys that don’t know they’re off the train they don’t know anything they’re not off the train they’re still watching The Wild games and and getting upset but they
There’s like guys that just have no business watching the NBA then why are they watching the NBA just because just want some sort aloe on the burn I don’t know like I think the the way people are getting into it is I’m a older gentleman
Than you so you get a lot of like there’s a guy like Michael Jordan on the Timberwolves Anthony Edwards and so from our generation guys are like huh he’s like Michael Jordan those are strong words and so yeah there’s been a little bit of like drifting in my world I did
Watch one NBA game myself um I don’t understand it I don’t know what’s happening I don’t think I’m going to do that again but I yeah we’re not well we’re I mean I would join a cult right now if somebody was like hey where are these Nikes we’re going to go to this
Place and like everything’s going to be fine in three weeks like I’m very vulnerable yeah I’m like a kid on a college campus picking up a flyer right now bad I got to go back who which one of your friends thinks that Anthony Edwards is like Michael Jordan it’s
Going around he kind of looks like him maybe in appearance is that what you mean no there’s he does look like him but there’s also like been articles written about this and that sort of like a Gateway cuz like hockey fans only where are these written National inquir
Just hold out here hockey fans got into golf because of Tiger Woods got into basketball because of Michael Jordan so there’re these iconic players that sort of had us dabbling yeah way Gretzky Southern California yeah exactly for other people that are non-traditional hockey people but so yeah that’s been a
Little bit of a gateway drug this sort of weird ant Jordan thing I don’t even want to talk about I’m embarrassed that I watched the NBA game I am I actually had a great line from a buddy he goes can you imagine if the Timberwolves are
The ones that get Minnesota out of you know get us into Minnnesota like if the Timberwolves win a championship they said that would be so horrible that’s when you know you’re a hor a hockey fan when somebody’s like yeah that would that that’s not the right one that’s not how we get fixed
You know after the Vikings and the Wild and and the twins for a while you know it can’t be those guys so we’re in Detroit yesterday and the way I cope with it how are you doing I mean you do the game I heard you I listen I I think you’re uh
You’re holding it together you know but I mean how how are you doing I’m a fan right it’s it’s been hard I found out that when when I’m down or when things are down I comfort myself with treats food yes so you’re getting heavy so so like after the game in Detroit you’re
Eating your feelings yeah basically see that’s something I can relate to that I went downstairs uh cuz I have to go I went to like Dean’s availability listen what Dean has to say wait around and I was pacing back and forth looking for some type of treat I just needed some
Type of treat to comfort myself God we finally have something in com like look at what can I get on the bus but what’s a treat for you it’s probably not even something bad it would have been it could have been no I needed something
Like sweet okay like I don’t know if I wasn’t going to find a pastry down there but I need like some candy something so you’re getting heavier okay I like that I I like that that’s how I was like it was odd because I was just like looking for something
To just be positive and I was like you know what a nice treat is positive right now that’s what I need so this season ends you’re like 350 I’m destitute I’m living in a t City off of uh off of uh 35e uh no I I don’t know man
Um I uh I’ve been I got a list of slump Busters that we could go through um I’ve been trying to do the glass well let me tell you my low Point okay this this is the the worst it ever was I I think it’s good that it’s called Black Friday
Because this was the darkest for me so I’m Legit excited about the day after Thanksgiving I got a TV tray set up in the house in Whitebear Lake and I got Aina football in the state championship game out of nowhere if they can win that
I played like my legacy changes all of a sudden like I’m like I’m a playing from a good program you know I got the wild you know making a bounce back I got go for hockey uh the Timberwolves also played that night I might add and so
Iina loses at the half yard line they go for two with 12 seconds left guy reaches the ball forward touches his elbow it was like the old Super Bowl when the guy got stopped on the one yard line no joke they go for two they don’t get it they
Lose so he Dino loses wild lose go for hockey loses in a in a shootout I actually I think I tried to find the Timberwolves game on the dial they lost too it was a blood bath it was Black Friday I mean I was just sitting there
In my with my TV tray I probably ate ice cream I don’t know Cheetos I don’t even know what happened I mean I want you to set the scene a little more now like are you do you are you on the couch do you have a recliner I have a chair you have
A chair a chair and if I’m not eating I have a foot rest and a blanket but if I’m eating I have a TV tray cuz the wife doesn’t like that I make messes and I’ve actually made a mess with the TV tray don’t know how um so how does
The TV tray work is it one of the ones that slides over like the arm of the c or I wish that would be cool like you’re talking like a classroom TV tray no I don’t have that this is like a 60s gold uh legs like not really gold but and the
Problem is you can only pull it so far into the chair so there’s got to be some leaning forward um yeah but uh she just wants you to activate those abs I I want to win been so bad I I hate I okay you’re watching Hawaii football at 2
A.m. just trying to chase a win i’ bet on the Chargers last night to come back in that game and uh I’m just like I’m a just a I’m reckless I I hate losing I think it’s bad for the state I think it’s bad for our children um yeah I want
To win and I know this team wants to win too I guess if I we’re looking on the bright side um these guys are they feel the same way I do they feel worse they feel horrible there’s a lot of negativity surrounding us right now but
That’s an excuse like we got to be we got to be pissed off here we got to we got to be mad and like fully take advantage of this and what’s at stake here like we’re we’re drling by the second here we got to start you know
Winning games here yeah we might have had 40 shots on that tonight but we didn’t win the hockey game we didn’t get two points and that’s not that’s unacceptable um you know and it’s hard to say you know are they playing better are they playing more like the wild but
Still losing and um that’s why I think it’s really about a slump Buster I think we got to do something radical you can tell that they care because now the problem now the problem is that they care too much and they’re holding on too tight and they’re not executing like
They’re trying too hard they’re playing safe uh you I think what ends up happening when you go into these stretches is it’s not over coaching but you oversimplify so now guys aren’t playing free they’re not reading plays they’re they’re they’re thinking what can I not
Do versus what can I do and it’s okay I can’t jump here I can’t do this you know I can’t make this play what happens if it jumps over a stick I’m not going to do that and then the next thing you know is you have 38 shots and three scoring
Chances you know it’s all of a sudden guys have completely changed the way that they play and you could almost watch ISO cam each guy and they’re making plays like that you know where it’s why would you make that play or that that’s like too simple you like you
Have time and they’re just yeah Rossy in front of the net that one was unbelievable I mean like oh my goodness but I you remember when uh heartsy was in the dogghouse last year yeah the healthy and he he was coming back and he kept getting penalties like he he
Couldn’t and he would be in the Box just like losing his mind it’s like the whole teams in the dogghouse so the entire team is playing like they’re holding their breath I mean it’s it’s uh it’s it’s um yeah it’s been it’s been rough I I’ll give you an extended metaphor
Because I want to hear your take on this so um so when I worked in advertising for a long time um the way advertising works is a strategist gives you a brief like this is what the advertising needs to do but then the creatives make the ads um and they’re like the athletes
They’re the ones that do the magical thing that makes it actually work a bad agency you can see the strategy in the creative you can see what the person told you you were supposed to do in the in the actual output because they haven’t done enough of the magical
Things to not have you see it but it still works that’s what this team looks like to me I can see the strategy I can see that diamond carved into the ice on the penalty kill I can see them trying to do exactly what the coaching staff is
Telling them and there’s no magic there’s no Freedom there’s no creativity there’s no Willy Wonka right there’s there’s no there’s none of the sugar that helps the medicine go down it’s just the medicine it just and and it’s it’s hard to watch i’ I’d rather see
Them go out there and have a line brawl you know I know Hartman’s going to get suspended but you know what I you know what he was a he did a scum scumbag play and you know what at least he was trying something I don’t know I I want to just
See a bunch of just different things trying stuff cuz when you just see them holding on too tight um I don’t I don’t know I don’t think that’s the way out I really don’t you know I think it’s uh it’s the progression it it it happens
Yeah well how do you get out of it I’ve never I mean I’ve never you’ve probably been in a run like this right well I so what do you remember if you had to say if you were coach in the wild and you came in and you what would you do right
Now how do you help them get out of this the thing that the pressure is everywhere it’s not just on the players it’s not on a single guy it’s I mean you’re eating like me you’re going to start doing live reads for food companies it’s everywhere and let’s go
Back to when I played because it happened here Mike yo remember when Mike yo I wouldn’t I wouldn’t mind a practice fight yeah I wouldn’t mind a meltdown like yo had remember when he lost his mind yeah yeah I was out there but that also didn’t solve the problem yeah but
You know let’s try something right you have to try something but I think the only thing that can happen now is they have to get to a point where they they know it’s weird but like they no longer care like it’s well like what can we do
Let’s just go play can’t get any worse yeah like it’s let’s just go play yeah well I mean we’ve I mean we’ve made our bed this stinks we’re going to have to sleep in it we might as well make it comfy let’s go have fun play hockey who cares what
Happens out there and that’s easier said than done now what tactic does a coach have let’s go through all of the things that have occurred from the start of this downslide to now management has made a trade they tried it yeah coaches have shooken up the lines y they’ve
Changed systems they’ve they’ve hit almost every lever that they have guys coming up and down from Iowa yep management chewed Butt Went Down The Locker Room chewed butt specialty teams changed G uh Billy went off on them now you’re seeing stuff in the media which is a little interesting where you’re
Seeing this I noticed I watched Dean’s chat from after the game yesterday and there’s a little bit of this like well the the coaches are still going to do the things we need to do but also it’s time for the players to do their part you’re’ seeing a little bit of like a
Divide yeah like uh like hey we are coaching but sometimes players need to be players yeah that’s that’s pressure that’s one that I think has changed and I don’t necessarily know that it’s a bad thing now this is also the same club that put up 100 plus points last year
You know slow start last year went on a heater and then you know they found a way to sing games together multiple times and they had a very successful regular season it’s almost the exact same group you know what I mean it’s the same core same
Lines it’s in that room the problem is that they’ve just lost it right now so that they’re capable of playing good hockey it will come back when that is got to come fast well it’s got to come fast if they’re going to save the year yeah that there’s no doubt about it but
One thing that is different and I still give I got to give Dean some credit because if you tried it last year and the year before and it didn’t work you’ve got to change you’ve got to try something different but if two years ago last year everything out of the coaching
Staff’s mouth was it’s it’s we not I it doesn’t matter who plays with who you know that they’re they’ve got the wild sweater on We’re All in This we’re all teammates was that a thing yeah you know it’s like it didn’t matter it was a it
Was a Wei from top to bottom all the time and whatever happened behind the locker room doors I think individual stuff happened but as soon as they walked out of those doors it was still we yeah you know and the second thing that changed is I do believe that there was
Legitimate opportunity for guys to move up and down the lineup and that now has kind of it’s kind of settled in like you know where everybody fits you know what everybody has go back to the year that Felino had 20 or Hartman had 30 guys had
Career years some of that was an energy because there was legitimate opportunity for them to grab you know Marcus was able to earn a spot on the power play or and and that’s just the easy one of the easier examples but now everything’s kind of set and they’re just doubling
Down waiting for their their guys to dig out of it and some of that is because it’s a problem there’s there’s 20 guys on the roster you go you can roll the dice go ahead throw them out there anyway you want but it’s the same 20
Guys and the only thing we can switch is an $800,000 person once in a while and then yeah and basically like all we got is oil changes on this car and coaches is it like it’s changing it’s it’s it’s it’s still we but at the same time it’s
Not we’re all digging ourselves out of this right now it has to be a little harder at some point the the let you know I don’t know how to say it but in the playoffs and at the end of the year when they needed it it failed last year
The year before so coaching staff’s trying something different a new approach a different way to motivate these guys and you’re saying that he’s poking people a little more speciically he’s poking people different okay you might not be able to tell about M baly right now and behind
Those doors you’re poking me by not going on on the ice and playing it I’m I’m going to get you back you know this is what it’s like yeah but when he says uh yeah Superstars need to be Superstars I mean it’s it’s you kind of know you
Can read between the lines right and the the other thing that’s crazy about this year is every single Team every single player Stars Superstars doesn’t matter they are not immune to rough patches and poor hockey lack of confidence the thing that has the wild down right now is just
Simply the number of guys that have run into that at the exact same time yep and you can have different guys mask it and coaches can and this is probably another thing handcuffing the coaching staff is who are you going to put with who it’s not like it’s not like certain guys are
Are buzzing right now and you got to find a way to get them more minutes who’s buzzing right now you know everybody’s feeling the pressure everybody’s playing simple uh it’s it’s hard I don’t know what they do but you go through it and caprisa and zukar they’re producing points right now but
It’s not like and I started to see a little bit of it Carell’s starting to look like Carell the last couple games you start to see it but where where’s the Sixth Sense where’s the you know sadine telepathy like we know where each other there zukar had two great passes last
Game like no look touch pass kind of thing two Carill one resulted in Eric X goal another one I think resulted in the chance to Rossy out in front than net it’s come in a little bit but it was absent for a while I don’t even worry
About those two guys really I really don’t I I think you throw them to the side and you say how do we get um you how do we get Baldi started how do we you know Freddy’s in a funk I like you said everybody is right so how do you
How them together have you seen Marcus Johansson be the Marcus Johansson of the 20 games last year have you seen baly be the baly of the last 20 games of last year Ryan Hartman I think last game went out and tried to be Ryan Hartman looks like they might be without Ryan Hartman
For a little bit oh he’s the best I’m sorry I’m sure I’m not supposed to say that but the beauty of Hartman is man I don’t mind I I know you probably have to take this out but there’s something I’m a sore loser too I hate losing and if
Somebody’s a sore loser I mean I don’t think it matters what motivates you whether you love winning or you hate losing well I think a lot of those guys like Jeter and uh some of the greats they said uh hating losing is actually a better motivator than uh you know loving
Winning I I I’ve been trying so here’s my positive spin okay um before we get to this before we get to the positives let’s let’s let’s get right down to the bottom we know that I like to comfort eat we just got through Thanksgiving let’s mix it up then why
Don’t you do the read I would normally do since you’re eating your feelings and I’ll try to do the uh the wild construction one I don’t know if that’s a good idea let’s try it okay so uh I have a good friend that I co-host a
Podcast with he he lives in an area that has lots of um storms it’s a lot like Dorothy’s house he’s got some tainted water over there um but oh that’s the wrong read um but sometimes sometimes uh Things fall on his house hail damage um HVAC and he still two different things
God damn it I don’t know okay so hey while Construction I think the guy comes and takes booties on does he wear booties in your house does that guy do that you somehow have you’ve missed B hey so klaw klaw is a great this that makes sense I’m I got
No confidence I got no confidence I’m going to go into Jimmy you can leave that if you want so uh klaw that could be the slump Buster we need a little cool with the hot a little crunch with the soft put it on a burger put it on a
Hot dog put it on a sandwich which eat it when you’re watching Monday Night Football tonight I don’t care jimmies salad dressings and dips bestselling kelaw in Minnesota a family run company Minnesota company down in Stewartville they call it Hooterville Minnesota I don’t know why jimmies salad dressings
And dips don’t you be messing with my live read for dressing yeah this is we can never switch stay I’m right-handed are you left-handed stay hot was so bad I was so confused with all the reads you do I don’t even know I should have just taken the wild construction hammer and just
Banged it on the yeah things are not good right now the transition for me is going to be in confidence right now I know you got your reading I should probably get mine in but since you don’t want to toss it back I’ll just take the
Puck off your tape yeah I I’m I I think I just went head first head first into the boards but confidence is everything right and and when it comes to your home you can’t always see it um it’s not tangible but but confidence really matters and what you need this time of
Year as winter rolls around is confidence in the Shell of your house so that when those locker room doors are closed that you know that you can withstand everything so if you have any doubts as the winter season rolls around if your house is insulated properly uh
If you’ve ever had ice dams in the past any of that stuff has you uneasy nervous lacking confidence give our friends at Wild instruction MN uh a call uh a lookup on the interwebs uh check these guys out uh they’ll make it uh so that you have confidence within your home the
Exterior shell and and everything you need there so wild construction mn.com look them up good job um know that was like a that was like a seemed kind of like yeah seem sort of like you mailed it in so uh let’s talk about um uh I
Really liked what you said when you said and it’s a weird thing to say he said they got to get to the point where they don’t care anymore and I know what you mean by that um uh and I I had another phrase for that and I think they’re the
Same things the inmates need to be running the Asylum right for to be successful I mean I I think you need to get to the point where the guys are like hey you know let’s I mean what the hell let’s just try you know I guess
We’re just going to going to go out there and get kicked in the teeth again so let’s let’s see what happens and then before you know it you’re listening to Gloria like the St Louis Blues a few years back and uh you’re you’re on a
Heater you know and it’s kind of I guess it’s kind of nice the blues are com into town but for us right now like that’s the story that everybody’s grasping to the 2019 blues or the dubnick dubnick arrived here at one point in a spacecraft and I think we won about 40
Games in a row you were on that team yeah but uh well here’s what tell me if any of these are good glass half full things okay we’ve only played 19 games I know supposedly like once it’s Thanksgiving you’re dead or whatever they say but um no so they I saw that
The other day 20% of the teams that make the playoffs were out at Thanksgiving I saw yeah you’re saying we got a chance you yeah you got a 25% chance if you’re on the outside at Thanksgiving of getting in I believe we’re only six points out of a wild card is that right
I we can look that up right now now I’ve not been standings watching whatsoever I watch every day so I think will you guys check that I think we’re six points out of a wild card which is amazing now my biggest thing is I want to use this phrase the wild west okay
Because we’ve been taken a beating out east you know what screw these Coastal Elites these the East Coast like it’s screw it sucks get out of here we’re done getting our ass beat by the East we played every Eastern team in the first 20 games they’re going away now and
We’re going to make it the wild west we’re going to beat up on the arizonas the Nashville’s the St Louis all of it even David pan is in the East I think he’s my least favorite player in the NHL I I legitimately hate David BR I hate
Him he wears a tinted Shield so like when you think when you’re like you ask your like daughter like hey honey who wears a tinted shield and she’s like Alex oetkin and David pan No David pan oh I hate that guy power play Assassin he’s a wild killer he’s a new Patrick
Sharp he’s like our arch nemesis he’s I hate David pan yeah that dude always scores he somehow like on some other team that’s beating kicking us while we’re down he sucks so I just think Wild West let’s just win in the west we haven’t really played anybody in our
Division we haven’t played anybody in the West I don’t know like beat an I mean Edmonton just beat the crap out of Anaheim like I I think I think the West we got to make hey let’s let’s make it the wild west I think the last W might
Have been the Edmonton game yeah maybe the Rangers so the West I don’t know which one it was but uh but we did beat up on you look at the schedule though I think it was going to be tough like Detroit Detroit was playing good Boston has two regulation
Losses on the air yeah they’re like 142 two and three both those regulation losses were to Detroit and now Patty Kane’s maybe going to Detroit I saw that that’s terrible too you know what we’re done who cares about the East who cares about the East maybe like let’s the West
Colorado wildest Colorado’s like best in the West played good against them I know no constellation victories but I’m not scared of Colorado no anybody with like an 80 lb defenseman named kale can’t be like that intimidating Colorado at screw Colorado yeah okay now these are the games where you needed to make
Where you need to make hay so if the wild they’re going to dig themselves St Louis Nashville start there yep boom boom yep go to Music City go see our old old friend Bruno get after I don’t know how they’re winning games I have no idea who’s even on that team anymore Carrie
Underwood maybe plays for them and then uh and we got to beat St Louis just beat these two Western teams Four Points no overtime shootout crap just win them absolutely win him Pat maroon I want I love Pat maroon said this is effing unacceptable when they interviewed him
And uh I mean if there’s anybody that knows I’d be more scared of Pat maroon on a seven game losing streak than my head coach I wouldn’t even park by him I mean this is a guy who hasn’t gone through a lot of that lately and uh he’s
Sitting there going so I moved from Tampa and now I’m here in Minnesota it’s snowing seven game losing streak Lake I mean that guy can brag some people out of this you know what else like I don’t want to keep going back to it but the they’re they’re handcuffed
And they do keep handcuffing themselves like let’s say Pat maroon says that’s enough seven a a row that’s [ __ ] unacceptable like it’s not good enough you can go out on the ice and that’s the great thing about be the crap out of somebody but the wild can’t right now because they yeah let’s
Just do because they can’t kill poundy let’s just do it they like well we can’t we can’t get caught behind the eightball so you think about the guys on the roster that could pull you have to really beat the guy up like really beat him up Like Gladiator style even if you
Give up some on the penalty kill people are like you got to throw a helmet Marcus needs to throw a helmet maroon Hartman already was Hartman do we need we need a Superman punch heartsy had his guy um I I don’t know what we need I I
Just I agree with you though I think it’s time to just throw glasses and throw cans it’s time to get it’s time to go to the wild west the Wild Wild West remember in Young Guns when they’re like uh he’s like uh he’s riding backwards on his horse
He’s like I saw the Spirit Horse I I think it’s like we got to go to the wild west I’m serious like yosity Sam like mud flaps and finish your beer and throw the glass and break it against the wall let’s go to the wild west Spurs all of it love it
All right well should we speaking of wild wild west we’ve got a very Western mustache on the show Jake Middleton um I say we throw it to the interview now and uh yeah you’re going to enjoy this one Jake’s wonderful he is the head of uh director of hair and hygiene for the
Wild so pretty good Duke Canon interview Jake Middleton hey so I I want to do a Masked Singer reveal of my mustache I know you’ve seen it but not up close I believe there’s a bias when people judge Carter in my mustache cuz he played in the Le League there’s like a fraternity
Brotherhood but I want you to give an honest assessment so this is this is like the mask singer only for mustaches so oh there I threw that in there I did not notice a soul patch out on the ice that’s uh yeah it’s a choice it’s borderline midlife crisis but it’s
Good it looks good you you with it yeah no it’s good now look over here boring yeah it’s fine it’s good who would you want to ride on a cattle drive with I’d take you both it’d be fine well we do need a vote B Goan has one vote in
And he seems to know what he’s doing as well Aquaman but you’re you’re maybe the top dog in the hair stuff so so now that we’re going to even out the sales pitch um I I just I find it terribly insecure that John would wear a mask in on the
White side can we go ahead and get another look at that mask where is it oh yeah it’s down there he basically showed you the inside of his underwear because he was embarrassed of what’s on the outside of the underwear I didn’t know you were missing a tooth I’m waiting for
It to pop out I got a flipper but it hasn’t come out oh that’s great if I start to whistle I’ll take him out I’m pretty excited about the flipper but it’s stuck it’s staying in there but John John finally did a good job he knocked it down he’s been he’s been
Insecure about having a mustash and he’s been trying to hide it with like a 5:00 shadow all the time so he hasn’t been all in on it so I give him credit today for going Allin he still has the the soul patch underneath I prefer to call
It a flavor Saver flavor saver yeah yeah but before we get your vote how’s your movember page going I don’t know I haven’t I got the it’s a lot better than ours I know that is it you know what we’ve raised much combined combined we might get them on combined dollars yeah

Here it’s like it’s like dark that’s like Levi 505s or something like that it does a little fold on the bottom I wouldn’t have expected that they’re a little long I don’t that’s a little that’s a little a little fold at the bottom that that’s a little Greaser
Isn’t it like we’re talking SES and greasers cigarettes in your arm and stuff yeah well we know what side he’d be on so the I be on John you’re a greaser all the way that’s a compliment Pony Boy Curtis Stay Gold MSY Stay Gold
Um what did you think of uh did you pick up that fashion in Sweden do they fold at all down there no they wear a lot of white sneakers so I wore white sneakers on the trip what was the deal with the sneakers so every everybody I don’t
Everybody in yeah I think so on the team or was it hooty caps I don’t even really know but everybody had an every player had those white Air Force Ones on yeah so those were the only ones I brought so they’re not very white anymore I wore
Them everywhere but were they a giveaway why did was everyone wearing them I thought I just show up dude I don’t know in my stall I wore them Zuki cuz Zuki wears those and I don’t know how zuki’s done it but he has a pair of Air Force
Ones that are white that are actually whiter than white I didn’t know the color wears them with the suits too yeah he wears them all the time so that’s why I kind of thought it was Zuki getting them for everybody to get I don’t know maybe thect to the heat you think he
Uses a magic eraser and keeps them really clean yeah I don’t know they’re they’re whiter than white I didn’t even know this plastic baggies maybe so did Zuki give everybody the shoes like it was a gift I don’t think so they were in a in a bag for our Global Series yeah we
All just got them supposed to wear them on the plane oh like a league deal that’s sweet what did you think of uh he wishes he played in the league oh God he plays in a league play on Tuesday nights a league but not a as in the top league
A as in a singular League I get a lot of what level league would that be I get a lot of scoring chances yeah you look so menacing with that mustache nobody goes near you I don’t I don’t convert but I get a lot of opportunities John might be
The kind of guy that when your team is up 9-1 and they don’t have a goal on the year that everybody tries to pass it to John score yeah that that feel good moments for him I had a moment last night that I’m not proud of so guy
Rifled a shot and it hit the goalie where he didn’t have some the padding was twisted and so he was injured but the puck was just sitting right on the line while he was down hurt and people were talking to him and I skated by and
Just pushed it in I just had the Instinct of like well it’s I could get a goal no one noticed it didn’t count but the goal didn’t count no he was went through all that and it didn’t he was hurt like pretty bad but I felt what do
They say character is what you do when no one’s watching and that I I really saw inside myself that stinks cuz there’s live Barn I mean I would take it yeah I should get that off a live bar just see the tap in as he’s down uh so
MSY how uh how are you doing what’s new in your life how’s your uh how’s your season going uh how’s uh bunnies bunnies is good I actually haven’t been back to bunnies since our last time we I’m lying I was there a couple times since the last podcast but uh my wife actually
Picked this up for me the other day but everything else is good how about you guys good yeah great can’t complain putting the outdoor rank up you uh you grew up on the outdoor rank or yeah when we lived in Alberta we had an outdoor rank when I was in Southern Ontario I
Moved there it was we’d maybe it would get cold enough like for 3 weeks of the year to have an outdoor ring we had a river uh running through our town that we usually went to but uh to get the backyard ones going were tough but the
River would freeze over for 3 weeks to a month and we could all uh head down there and play that sounds gutsy one thing I don’t think I would ever skate on is a river no it’s like the Avon River in our town they like the dam it
Kind of they get rid of it for the winter and then it’s just uh very shallow and it’s not like flowing no no no it’s it’s ice confident it’s hard it’s hard to skate on it when it’s well that’s what I’m saying I would never skate on a river because there’s
Obviously current right I didn’t mean to your feelings at the start of the podcast I just I really thought with the mask singer deal and I don’t know I put a lot into it it’s not a big deal don’t worry about it um hey we had a couple
Notes on you that we never got to talk to you about yet so we’ve talked to a lot of your D buddies on the and they say you got a lot of like gear issues going on you know a lot of a lot of like
We talked about this last year no lot of self talk you did admit it last like you got we heard there just this is no good I got just the skates right just the skates Tony actually Tony dasta yelled at me the other day cuz I had two three
Games in a row maybe where as soon as I stepped on the ice for warm-ups I had to get my steel changed you’re like no good he’s like is this an fing ritual now I’m like I can’t turn left oh you’re not Zoolander or maybe you are
Zoolander so it’s just uh Ambi Turner what what what doesn’t feel good what would be like a skate issue you might have I don’t know I don’t know just doesn’t feel right you know the one thing I I bet he loves that it just doesn’t feel right if I’m asking for new
Steel it’s cuz something’s messed up I’m an average enough skater that I can feel if an edge is off or something yeah me too sometimes you catch a puck off them though it’ll bend your steel and then it’ll never like feel right again after that but you know the stick guys I’ll
Say this too I think I was the same way with my stick a little bit if something did didn’t feel right or the puck wasn’t coming off of it right to start the day you’re just like but it’s easier to blame the stick than it is yourself so
You’re just like th this stick is just terrible give me I need a different stick you know what I mean and then it keeps you in like a POS I’m like I’m the polar opposite of that that’s why the gear thing I’m I’m confused it’s skates
Only skates only okay I think I’ve used like three sticks since training camp I never go through new ones if it if it high flips at high flips and that kind of thing like I don’t uh I don’t Str over anything yeah top cheese that’s my [Laughter]
From way downtown I I kind of like that you got a little Nuance with the skates you know cuz you’re so laid back and such a fun guy like you know you’re a little particular about that there’s nothing wrong with that let’s talk about them though cuz you have like the custom
Molded skates though right yep so it’s always a Steel issue it’s not like a boot issue oh no it’s a boot issue yeah cuz you’re rying all the timeing them a lot but you could probably retie those skates and they don’t get any type when
I get a brand new pair of skates I go two games so what would that be about 4 days or I don’t have to touch them like they’re once I tie them they’re perfect then after that I don’t know what it is if they get broken down more or
Something but I’m like four times a period on the bench at least reing rying yeah probably even twice not no that’s four in the period time once before I go out obviously and then once we do the couple laps in Old Canada and national anthem I’ll TI them again just make sure
They’re good then after the first shift is when I’ll start doing the four to five re ties a period but like I said see your pinkies let me that’s only that’s you tie that many times you start to get some seriouss don’t crank them that
Tight I just got to make them match you know okay it has to be even even yeah so if you’re playing a Canadian team and you got the double Anthem does does that mean yeah way too much time to feel them out is that an extra tie yeah okay so
There’s an extra session of free time that’s definitely not that’s not mental I don’t think so when you’re standing there for two anthems are you a rocker cuz you know how some guys will rock back and forth I’m even I’ll get rest I like the moveing the feet is cool like
The guys forward and back yeah like the like they’re ready like they’re like a horse in the stable that’s ready to break let’s go through style if you’re starting a game like you’re on the ice to start you got the anthem going how do you hold the bucket like is it normal
Way so and then under the arm kind of I hold it by the loop the ear flap the ear flap on the Top Hand of my stick and then let it dangle yeah just dangle and then that’s with your stick in the same hand yeah like it’s my sticks in my
Right hand Top Hand and then the loops your loop on the middle fingerer and it’s just hanging there skates are going back and forth a little bit yeah just testing them out seeing how many times I got to tie them and then what’s that left hand doing chilling just chilling
Yeah I like that yeah I like I don’t know I don’t even know now that you ask what my left hand’s doing put I’m going think about it don’t put other stuff in this head he’s going to be during the anthem just having a thumb war with himself or something let’s talk let’s
Dive into Finland for a little bit uh what about Finland well Sweden Sweden geez jeez he still hasing you have problem have trouble sleeping oh you’re going to have a partner here I was brutal me too I could sleep every night from 11:00 till 1: and then I would
Stare at the ceiling till 6:00 in the morning I was 12:00 to 3:00 generally 11: to like the best night well I shouldn’t say that the first night I landed I took uh hards had like those sleep supplements for us yeah like so I took them right away I took well I
Shouldn’t say that I took it at like 10:00 and I slept till 6:00 I was like perfect I’ll be set for the trip now next night I don’t think I went to sleep at all like maybe 2 hours yeah and then every night after that was like I would
4 hours max maybe and then breakfast wasn’t until like 7:00 a.m. every morning so I was just starving in my room from 4:00 a.m. to 7 a.m. every morning I’d eat the Swedish candy have a have a Coke Zero that was in the mini bar I didn’t know I thought Coke Zero
Meant like nothing apparently there’s still caffeine in it is there that’s what my wife said I was like yeah there is yeah so I zero calorie so I thought Coke Zero was like nothing in it it just tastes like Coke and then there’s still caffeine and I was crushing them at 4:30
In the morning I don’t know what it is honey I can sleep there’s like six Coke Zero cans behind you dude I spent more time in my bed awake than I did sleep guarantee it oh yeah we were all just talking about that 90% of the time I was
Awake in bed and the other I might get like a 2hour nap every once in a while but would you I my issue was I’d start like like mentally snapping like I’d be getting so mad so then I’d download some audio book then I’d be listening to the
Audio book then I couldn’t fall asleep and I’d be like close and then I’d come back to it like I’d get watch I watched the Planet of the Apes both of them before breakfast one day before breakfast for breakfast yeah that’s a lot did you did you ever do it sometimes
When I can’t sleep I’ll just I just relax and go you know what I’m still resting it’s all good and I think that kind of works you take the edge off of like the the Panic of trying to fall you just be like who cares yeah I’m just I’m
Just laying here it’s the same thing and I’ll try it did you feel great the whole time though like do you felt fine even with the minimal sleep no no I felt like okay like really I was surprised cuz I thought normally like you know when
You’re like you might get jittery if you have a coffee on only 3 hours or whatever I felt uh I felt pretty normal the whole time but even last night are you back here yet no so I went to bed real early last night and woke up real
Early today but I at least I got like an 8 Hour stretch right like I think I messed up cuz I slept 7 hours on the flight home then what did we land at 1:30 or 2 or so and then 9:30 I was in bed and I slept 10 hours again so last
Night I was staring at the ceiling till like 4:00 a.m. just C zero I was praying for one yeah but you must have been feeling good cuz uh was did you in the first game Ottawa fight y who was that mchan yeah mchan yeah and nice nice job
There did a big one thank you uh and then the next night goal top glove yeah greatest of all time was it top cheese something like that yeah yeah almost bar down it was close that was uh that was impressive it’s so good weekend how do you feel about it
I would have liked to get four points but well four points for the team four points for the yes sorry I could have sounded real arogant I was going to say that that’s a lofty goal yeah no I’m but no yeah it was it was uh it was
Obviously fun we played a lot better as a team too so that was like cuz we were in the dumps for a bit there right just not playing well so it was the fact that I know we still lost both in overtime but uh we played a lot better so there
Was a much better feeling um post game than recent ones yeah it looked it looked structured it looked like wild hockey I mean was good hey what’s uh this Faber uh what’s it like to play with him you know coming into the league um obviously you know him well I think
You ran around a little bit this summer but what uh what’s fabes like uh as a new addition to the decor he’s a stud he’s uh he’s fun to watch he’s so explosive skate I mean you guys see it we’re just he just is so explosive and
He’s way more offensive than I think anyone gave him credit for in college yeah he didn’t really do that in college it’s crazy he told us the other day he’s never ran a power play in his life before and I was like I even ran one one
Time it’s was but no uh he’s uh yeah he’s an exceptional player he’s going to be around for a long time it’s uh it’s it’s pretty cool to watch him and how about bagoan uh you know this guy hunts Hogs with night vision and side by sides
Looks like Aquaman what’s that like I mean when you’re tying your laces 14 times and you turn over and he’s sitting there what what have you have you got to know him at all I got to know him a little bit Yeah my favorite thing about
BOGO is he is like he’s always good for a laugh okay so if you like send out something that might not be the funniest he’s going to make it stick you know he’ll give you a nice big belly laugh and uh no it’s great it’s it’s generous
Laugh yeah no it’s good good pickup guy yes yes we should just have him in here when we’re doing the Pod just kind of in the Corner laughing like Ed McMahon how does that make you feel though that like he he’s that guy but he didn’t like he

Hockey similar to how they play regular hockey is knee hockey is that what you guys call it in the states floor hockey mini sticks mini sticks we call it in Canada yeah we would call it KNE hockey I think knee hockey yeah but do guys play the same
Way like is Carill like moving around and you know and then do hes going hard to the net like does it people what are the rules I always when I when trying to square up with a 10-year-old you have like half your half your ice sheet or half of the playing
Surface yeah you kind of got to go back cross it like you never cross halfway so like you’re either playing goal oneon-one it’s not like a four on four game it’s like oneon-one right I don’t even mean we played four on four occasionally really the parents weren’t worried about the drywall or anything
Yeah that’d be fun yeah it was a lot of fun that’s highend KNE hockey we’d always just playing the uh what the hallways of the out of town tournaments until you got booted then you switch floors yeah then you start to figure out like what teams what floors
The other teams around you play in their hallway till you get kicked out then they’d get in trouble break break the elevator break the ice machine and then you head out see you yeah you got anything else for Jake or should we let him uh begin his holiday part of me
Really wants to just change the tune so it ends on a high note uh that was that’d be sweet that was intense for a couple minutes there that’s probably why I’m sweating again I probably got something let’s see what you got but I
Do want to ask it did you go into so SAA guy let’s give give me a SAA routine since we just got back from Sweden too which the SAA there was awesome but I didn’t do it today I was coming up here with you guys and I’m going to lunch
With my wife at guyo I don’t know if you’ve been there yet little Asian Cuisine downtown really good spot probably the best Pad tie I’ve ever had and they got this other noodle that is I can’t remember the name are you a foodie like I love eating it I’m not like but
You go to good places I like to eat good food but I’m not like I think everything’s good you’re not making it that’s probably his I’ll make it sometimes nah I’m lying well I got the smoker I got a smoker I love doing the meats and that kind of thing I made a
Bowl of n the other day that I thought was delicious the other day is in like 3 weeks ago ah that was probably the last time you had I made tacos I made tacos when I got back with my wife that was fun yeah all right uh so hold on son
What did you ask my bad tangents because I’m intrigued now you have tea in the SAA no we have yeah that’s why I asked you for the honey it’s not tea it’s we uh sparkling water ice lemon and uh honey so it’s a cold drink cold drink yeah okay really
Nice you should try it the sparkling water is just the it’s the best in there but yeah SAA I usually try to go for like 15 minutes depending on how hot it is I get like laying there I’ll be dying in the last couple minutes of it it then
I’ll go jump in the cold tub did you use a spa at the Grand yeah cold tub wasn’t cold enough it wasn’t cold it didn’t like it wasn’t pins and needles cold no no but it was it was like 60° in there that’s good that’s good for me it’s like
A lake no yeah this time of year for sure mhm yeah what’s your Sona routine well I just go in with a bottle of water and try to drink it as fast as I can because the bottle starts to get really hot then you can’t hold it any longer so
Then once you set it down well I do set it down but then I go to pick it up and like burns my hand I’m like I don’t want to drink that anymore and then I don’t want to waste it so then I drink hot water in the SAA it’s just terrible I
Got to come with a better routine you don’t like saic I do like saic you do yeah yeah Carill loves soning really yeah with a hat on I would no he like cuz the Hat’s supposed to help you not get like all messed up in there it’s
Supposed to like keep some of it in you yeah insulates you yeah a little bit so like I can go longer if I wear the hat Carill is always just like you just got to chill relax and enjoy you know and they’ll sit in there for like 25 minutes
Just so I back to the one of the last times I was overseas uh we stayed at a Rison blue in Germany there’s a spa in the basement there and I went into the sauna and there’s a Russian couple in the SAA too and I they were in there
Before me and I like set this personal goal that I wasn’t going to leave before the Russians left the SAA and they were in they sweated me I nearly died I started on the top deck I went to the middle deck then I was like on the
Bottom I was basically like laying on the floor like trying to save my pride before eventually I just had to leave with my tail between my legs like just it was intense I nearly died that day I think I herniated a disc in my back in
The next game because I I was a raisin when I left that place this this is how we finally get Krill on the podcast we tell him we’ll do it in a sauna in a sauna and we’ll only make it like 5 six minutes and we’ll have to and will’ll
Tap out and then he’s he’s good for another 20 good I like that he chills though that’s not how I picture Krill being like it’s it’s good just chill outen seen Russ he’s just like just relax enjoy it enjoy I like when you say Enjoy that’s Euro like just enjoy mhm
Well uh we got to let you get to lunch enjoy lunch so thanks for stopping by thanks for the time my man good trip and good luck if you change your mind we have till the end of November um so you for what the mustache
On who you thinks is the best and PSA here let’s let’s uh let’s go out let’s at least get some money for Mid you don’t have to any money to carts and I but let’s get him back up he’s having a great season he’s got the best mustache
In the league he gave us a lot of good food advice today fatty blue fin Lefty George Clooney roll Toro yeah Toro Toro or Cho Toro is like to step down that one’s nice too so I mean he’s he’s working for you oh the least you could
Do is work they got a fish cheek or something fish cheek I’ll get it I don’t know the name Japanese is that what it’s called it’s a white fish fish cheek asked for that well you have a lovely lunch with your wife and a great Thanksgiving we’re glad you were back in
The clubhouse with us thanks for having me guys thanks dude peace all right well the that’s Jake Middleton man we always love having him on Good Vibes good dude uh mustache check in what is the day today actually John because it’s November 27th I think that I’ve got $5
In my account now have you donated to yours I tried to figure it out I couldn’t figure it out did you donate to your own ARP no no I haven’t donated to my own yet but part of me still wants it to just be at zero the whole time but if
You are motivated at all to support Men’s Health uh John needs a w in the worst way so if he could somehow find a way to get a crooked number on his account yeah sounds like seven bucks will win it if somebody wants to do that um a month worth of mustache
Embarrassment have you had it where you’re like you’re like chatting with somebody and you’re like feeling good then you forget that you have a mustache and you go back and then you replay the conversation in your mind you’re like oh my gosh they were staring at my mustache
The whole time so here’s the deal I actually think that it’s totally rigged both bagoan and Middleton picked you my mustache is better than your mustache it’s absolutely a joke that that you got both I don’t know you kind of look like no yes I think part of isn’t right is
That you kind of look like fival Goes West you kind of like a little bit of a mouse right you look like a British guy you look like a British guy that’s what you look like inspector cuso yeah you look exactly you look like like Kevin Klein or whatever his name like that

Okay we shave our mustaches before the end of November we just say screw it so you’re doing the broadcast against St Louis your mustache is gone it’s still November think about it Dean cuts his hair short again yeah he’s had long hair all season and and it’s not working uh
Lines we stick Rossy with baly try to help him but Brock on the power play practice fight um we bring up wallstead and just try to have him give up no goals at all um maybe we throw e with somebody um Beckman and somebody named Luchini at Iowa has seven goals Beckman
Has five bring up guys who score goals eat a full bucket of chicken um and then let’s play hockey I don’t know somebody amazing doing that any of those stick up to you start let’s start with eat a a buck a full bucket of chicken well I
Know that that come from cuz I think in like major league I think they sacrifice a chicken okay and I don’t want to sacrifice a kid although maybe the kid you want to sacrifice your mustache I’m fine to shave it off if that helps but I
Think you need to shave it off cuz you’re on TV the guys the guys that are voting on this Middleton and bagoan I think that they know that you’re kind of like half in no that’s all fraternity NHL I don’t think so at all nhlp can’t fake it names on the
Cob yeah whatever what else um Brock favor favor pp1 these are all like so funny like every I’m like I repres I try to represent Minnesota and I would say people think eek Rossy and Faber are playing a little better they’re got maybe a tiny bit more
Confidence in their tank and so we’re just trying to move them around and have it rub off on people probably a bad idea how about by the way Eric sck losing his tooth did you see that awesome picking him up what do you do when that happens
So when you get him chip like that like I didn’t see yesterday but yesterday did he have chip tea still or does he automatically is gone okay I he’s a bad it depends it depends how much of the tooth is gone I should so I was playing
In Calgary have I told this story to you I don’t think so I was playing in Calgary I don’t know what it well against calary don’t matter and and Owen Nolan Irishman scrum in front of our bench what a cool name his stick comes
Up and hits me in the front my two front teeth knock them out and it hurts when I breathe so you got nerve endings yeah so what they do is they get like this little blue wax and then they just put the blue wax on your teeth and say okay
That’ll get you through the game because the cold air hurts that ner it deadens it yeah yeah so it just is like it insulates it and then game over the dentist there in Canada um comes downstairs he’s like oh yeah ah pretty sharp does that hurt your tongue that’s
Probably gonna cut your tongue we’re going to have to do something about that he’s like I know but I didn’t bring any of my any of my tools any of my like stuff tonight came he’s breaking erasers in half he just came to the game as like
A fan and then was like oh yeah I didn’t actually think that I’d have to do any work here tonight so he didn’t have anything so he goes to the equipment trunk and he grabs a fingernail file and files down your tooth he files my teeth
With the fingernail file oh so it can get worse so it’s not sharp yeah I was playing with Jersey at the time and then we had to finish the trip through Jersey so I had to like wear like blue wax on my tooth for like 4 days till we could
Get back to Jersey uh I could you think if that’s Jack Hughes that they file down his teeth do you think you got the uh the bottom six there’s a weird thing though where it’s like you feel like it’s yours there it’s like your possession you feel
Like you need that tooth back yeah you saw how quick he picked them up that’s the thing is you pick it up but there’s nothing you can do with that tooth but it’s like that’s these are mine yeah sorry guys I got to go put this with my
Wallet and my cell phone on the bench like it’s beer league it’s going to be like in the top drawer of your dresser for some reason 10 years down the road be like why did I keep this broken tooth I don’t know but it’s just like it’s
Like part of you you know what’s that that’s a world junior medal and those are my teeth yeah man but he looks like he’s been playing great I mean e uh I mean r steady edes have been steady Eddie yeah e for sure faes kind of the one of us
Minnesota bias but um yeah I don’t know I I still I do trust uh I do trust 97 and 36 that I I almost just like they’ll figure it out it’s fine um but yeah we just need a few more guys to get the Mojo going get a little confidence
Um I don’t know let’s I I like your you know it’s always darkest before the dawn you know maybe we got to just play with a blindfold on for a game or something let’s get weird yes somehow not care yeah I I I I think there’s some truth to
That it sounds very but that’s also I also say that’s why and I’ve talked about this on the podcast before but guys that know their role are so valuable in times like this hey I I understand the risk here if I’m a fourth line guy or I do this I’m just going to
Go you know you know what’s so true about that because I am that and beerly like cuz I suck all the time so those guys can just come in and be like hey it’s hard yeah it’s hard for me all the time so hey so what I do is just you
Know bring a good attitude and let’s see what happens and what that role is I I don’t really know but it like it seems like something crazy or special needs to happen to change the momentum the vibe the feeling something and when you have a guy that is a veteran dude that’s been
Around that understands that can go out and do something like that and maybe Hartman was that maybe that’s what it was maybe how about how many people were coming around looking for him and the video didn’t really come out till afterwards I didn’t see it during the
Game and I was getting roasted on the Twitter well cuz they didn’t you just it was like when you saw that many guys specifically you know putting a letter in his mailbox I was like oh no what happened and then now it’s just all over that one to illustrate that one might
Hurt too the how long will he get pocketbook I don’t know games and I didn’t see if it was in person or if it was just a hearing so if it’s just a phone call it’s less than five games I believe but if you have to go then it’s
Bad yes then it’s more and he’s a repeat offender so a repeat offender on a slooh foot or just uh suspension suspension uh player safety so the way it works is every player their salary is divided by like an average of 190 you get paid on a daily basis game checks
They’re saying yeah yeah so you if you get suspended three games and that’s seven days you get deducted on your first time seven days pay I saw that it was like whatever he gets docked it’s like 21 Grand times that or something it’s going to be a lot of money yeah
What they do the next time is divide your salary by 82 and then you miss that number of Gam games so if it’s three games whatever his salary is divided by 182 um maybe that’s somewhere around 20,000 bucks so if it’s three games it’s a $60,000 that’s a tough conversation with
The new bride when you get home that’s not good a yeah it’s a scary play kicks in next year imagine that one that’d be that’d be two it’d be almost $50,000 a game or something I don’t know the the math on and I’m not trying to make light
Of it I I’ve been SLE footed before it’s really horrible and it all happens pretty fast but I don’t know I’m just I’m just grabbing at straws I’m just trying to find that old phrase I used to tell my daughter when she was you know trying to figure out um hockey I just
Say don’t try harder try different because sometimes when you try harder it just makes it worse you know um don’t try hard or try different and I I think that is what the coaching staff has tried to do to your point from earlier but I don’t know get the East let’s just
Let’s just get a little uh a fault line and just break off that part of the country it can float over to Iceland Greenland and let’s just kick some ass in the west that’s all we can do all right you grab yourself a bucket of chicken scissors give yourself no you’re
The one that’s you’re going to be the fatty now you’re the fatty now all right you keep eating I’ll keep doing live reads for uh for Aquarius construction thanks for listening we’re here till it’s Here N
