What a great interview with Okposo and hats off to Celebrini, what an amazing young man, well spoken, and an incredible talent. Great job Chiclets, gentlemen!

@@coastingalong RA apparently hit a real rough patch going through a separation & divorce this year. He wrote a blog about getting help this week. It’s a great thing. Give it a read.
Okposo played like every shift he wanted to outdo his last one. Kind of like doing push-ups where you say "im going to do one more than the most I've ever done, and then you do". I felt like he played his heart out and he didn't score, but he really did grind the other team down. He was way more effective than numbers can show and I was glad he was a part of that run.
Not a single soul in MTL is worried about that Slaf contract. If you watched the games this season you know. There is no stopping this kid from now on. Hockey Iq question was valid before I understand but it's really gone now. After christmas with the first line he was spectacular, all analysts who hated him were in shock and amazed by what we saw game after game after game.
Honestly after watching this it's hard not to come away super impressed by Celebrini. Incredibly intelligent kid, he will be a star in the NHL. As a Habs fan it's so exciting to hear the way he speaks about Lane Hutson.
thank you for covering the Sharks Spittin' Chiclets you guys are the GOATS for interviewing Macklin go sharks! love this channel keep the haters coming Ra!
Celibrini seems like a really nice, well spoken kid. With that in mind, a thought from this interview: It's sad to me that almost every kid that makes it to the NHL comes from a rich family now. At least the Canadian kids. Just listening to him talk about his upbringing, and the opportunities and support he had. And I don't begrudge him, or his family that. I'm working hard in my life so that my (future) kids will have it better than I had it. So I'm not trying to dismiss his talent or work ethic, or what he's parents did help get him where he is today. That's the goal, what else do you work for if not to support your family and give your kids opportunities. It just strikes me that you don't hear about too many sons-of-plumbers or mechanics or other working class, or even middle class, families anymore. Hardly an original take from me. Hockey Canada knows the affordability of this sport has been an issue for a long time that just gets worse and worse. And now with summer ice, year round special coaching and skills development for the kids, it's just widening that gap. Have to think that there's a huge untapped pool of potential superstars out there who's parents just can't keep up. Just was pretty striking listening to him talk about his upbringing and family (and he's far from the only one). But again, seems like a very grounded, well spoken, nice young kid, which is a credit to the family as well.
its more about how these kids are raised and taught to lvie by their parents who obviously are very succcesful. its not just the money, its the way of life.
The whole Celebrini family was supposed to fly back home from Vegas on Sunday. Macklin had them all leave the next day so he could get a skating session in on Sunday ahead of the Sharks Rookie Camp. The kid is going to be a dawg for the Sharks! 😂
@@Joe-xm3fmyes, he did, it is confirmed they left immediately for San Jose after watching his eligible friends and teammates getting drafted so that he could get an early pre-dev camp skate in
Whitney should take a trip to San Jose and visit Sharks Ice San Jose. 7 rinks in one building. Jr Sharks program is one of the biggest youth programs in america
No, they got Guentzel because he’s younger and a much more valuable player at ES. He’s scored more goals and had more assists 5v5 than Stamkos has the last two years.
@@ZachamundoTampa’s still going to be a competitive team, however gaining Guentzel & McDonaugh while losing Stamkos & Sergachev doesn’t improve them at all from how they were last season.
@@CapsBrotha Disagree. 5v5 is more important than PP production in the postseason. It wasn’t just two in, two out. They also used that cap to re-sign Hedman while receiving Connor Geekie in the Serg trade. He can easily become a stud.
The sharks should trade for Askarov. He fits the time frame of Celebrini, Smith, Eklund, Musty, Mukuhmadullin and Dickinson! I would trade Bystedt, Endstrom or Bordeleau.
Yall are sleeping on slaf, guy is a sleeping giant, St. Louis finally gave him some decent linemates and started picking it up and some nights looked better than Suzuki and Caufield
This whole narrative of the Caps significantly enhancing the lineup being labeled as “It’s all for Ovi’s goal chase” is beyond stupid at this point, the Caps are by far the most improved team this offseason and they’re bound to finish 1-3 in the Metro Division and officially are going back into Cup contention. They gained Dubois, Mangiapane, Duhaime, Chychrun, Matt Roy & Logan Thompson. A WC2 team from last season that literally improved every single part of their whole team already this offseason with offense, defense & goaltending while the only departures were 2/3 of their 4th line in Malenstyn & Aube-Kubel and 2 unimpressive players in Patches & Jensen. Malenstyn & NAK leaving is a tough let down given they shaped the best 4th line in the entire league, being put on the ice to go against and shut down any team’s 1-2 top 6 lines & continuously succeeding. But the Caps also have the best AHL affiliate in the entire league but Trineyev & Priskie can be called up from the Bears to complete the 4th line. You know when you enter a new season and your only issue is re-establishing the 4th line, the team is clearly bound for dominant success.
Pretty sure Whit said last pod whoever signs Jeff Skinner can pretty much guarantee not to make the playoffs........Bet you didnt think he would be in Edm huh Whit
Hey Whit How Bout Them Oilers Baby !!?? Skinner Arvi, Henrique back, plus Janmark, Brown etc etc , let’s see on the D , lot stronger then last year !! If Drai and Connor have better health ( not all beat up ) Hello CUP Baby !!!
Tampa and Vegas moving on is a great example of looking purely at numbers/age and not trusting your eyes. As good as Guentzel is expect Tampa’s power play to take a major hit without Stammer
As a life time sharks fan, the future finally seems bright. Mike Grier keeps COOKING! Next up sign Draisaitl to 15 milli (if he leaves edm) haha. Cap going up to 92 milli next year. Draft D and address D in free agency. In MIKIE G WE TRUST
Biz bitching about Slaf’s contract when his Leafs are notoriously known for even overpaying the equipment manager is beyond laughable. The fact that we have 3 superstar core players UNDER 25 million on the salary cap is something (including the Leafs) will dream of having rather than be known to have once overpaid for the most overrated cores in the history of the NHL. Habs are gonna legit be a problem in 3 years. Paying for Slaf are solid building blocks for when Demidov, Reinbacher and Hutson come in the mix. I can’t wait to see Biz in his Habs PJs with his cup of mushroom tea contemplating looking at the Montreal skyline from his Queen Elizabeth hotel room. 😂
First time listening to Okposo speak. What a great interview!
there is a sandbagger episode where the boys play golf vs Okposo. good video to check out
New to the pod?
17 years on RUclips is mental. Basement dweller
@@toeslyhaven’t seen it. Will check it out
Absolutely loved the Okposo interview. I really appreciate how introspective he is. Seems like a real genuine kind dude.
After seeing the first pod with Okposo, I couldn’t be more happy for him winning the Cup! Great interview lads!
Okposo will make for an exceptional coach post his playing career
Couldn't agree more
Macklin seems like a great kid with a good head on his shoulders, keen to see how his career plays out, unreal interview!
Big time. Life comes so easy for him. Such a cool guy… crazy he’s barely 18
Okposo is such a kind-hearted gentleman, I could totally see this guy broadcasting for the “back 9” of his hockey career ⛳️ 🏒 📣
So so happy for Kyle. He was a good player for the Isles. Gratz to you, Kyle.
I'm an Oilers fan and that Okposo interview made me happy for them winning, seems like a great dude. Great interview guys.
Classic RA… Kyle gives a heartfelt unreal answer and RA changes the topic like the question was never asked
Professional journalist behaviour
Could not agree more. Let the conversation breathe dude lol
RA to AA
Yea man he does this all the time and it’s infuriating.
RA is coked out of his mind. Plus such a large amount of alcohol that his speech is unintelligible.
Biz constantly tries to help cover for RA, but it’s time to make a change.
The show is suffering. Get RA some help.
Chills multiple times during the Okie interview, dang.
Yeah he's so humble. Seems like just an amazing person. I'm happy he got it
Zadorov to RA: “I thought you were an Edmonton fan” 😂😂😂 dude is funny as hell
Dude slafkovsky after the first 35 games was a beast and almost point per game. In my opinion, his contract is gonna be a steal
It’ll age like fine wine especially with cap most likely continuing to rise
These goofballs always hate on Montreal. Kent Hughes has been an excellent GM and the Slaf contract is a bit of a gamble but I personally love it
Biz has made about zero good takes and even less correct predictions in his time as an “analyst”. Guy has been wrong so many times it’s all he knows how to talk.
It might be great but the point is that's crazy nowadays. 7 million for someone's who only proved it one half year is crazy man
These guys should not be taken serious when they talk hockey more for the entertainment
Okposo is an absolute gem, what a humble and kind guy
Okposo would make a great coach or commentator/analyst.. such a nice, well spoken guy.. happy to see him finally get the Cup!
RA to AA!
I laughed too hard at this lol
Send Ra to game notes until he gets his shit together 😂
What a great interview with Okposo and hats off to Celebrini, what an amazing young man, well spoken, and an incredible talent. Great job Chiclets, gentlemen!
Loved hearing from Macklin. Seems like a super well spoken kid, excited to see him with San Jose!
RA trying to explain that the GM offers the deals
What would they do without their top journalist around to tell them these things??
Go listen to 32 thoughts or puck soup
That’s professionalism
@user-to2sq2jp7h he's a goof. Just the new hot thing to hammer RA
Literally everything he says is either something completely unrelated to the topic at hand or some stat that anyone could find in 2 mins on google
RA.. Let the conversation breathe dude. Nobody brings a talk track to a screeching halt like this guy.
I’ve been saying that to myself for a longgg time. Can’t stand how he just turns a great conversation on its head.

Glad Okposo got one, well deserved. can we get a Thornton interview for his official retirement this year!
Full timestamps??? Never thought I'd see the day, much appreciated!
okposo is a class act, absolute beauty
For as much as these guys loved Eisermsn all year I’m surprised they didn’t talk about him going 20.
Celibrini is exceptional! What a winner mind set..... working on his weaknesses when he was a kid.
Shoutout to Bay Area Gretzky Hours!

More personality in this kid than half the NHL grown men they have on the show
Crazy… he’s barely 18. What a cool guy
Not a single soul in MTL is worried about that Slaf contract.
If you watched the games this season you know. There is no stopping this kid from now on.
Hockey Iq question was valid before I understand but it's really gone now.
After christmas with the first line he was spectacular, all analysts who hated him were in shock and amazed by what we saw game after game after game.
let them sleep brother 😴
Great player!
RA is soooo tough to understand when he speaks, have to hear the response to understand just what he was asking.
Crap accent and talking fast are not a good conbo
Boys… the “Kraken’s Octopus” is exactly what it says on the tin… it’s a Kraken. 😂
That was great
Honestly after watching this it's hard not to come away super impressed by Celebrini. Incredibly intelligent kid, he will be a star in the NHL. As a Habs fan it's so exciting to hear the way he speaks about Lane Hutson.
Macklin is a stud! Great to see some personality - easy to root for ahead!
What a season boys enjoy the time off

@@ryno7437 had to recount. I remember when it was only 4.
Buffalo is so happy for our former players, especially Okie!
Jake Guentzel has to score at least 50 goals next season to show he can take Stammers spot. Those are mighty big ass skates to fill.
No, they got Guentzel because he’s younger and a much more valuable player at ES. He’s scored more goals and had more assists 5v5 than Stamkos has the last two years.
40g+40a=80p is enough if Guentzel manages that he has done his job, anything more is a bonus.

Slaf's hockey IQ was questioned at the beginning of the season. There's no question now, he has solid hockey IQ..watch the games, not the highlights.
It's cute when you guys wear matching hats

Can't understand a word RA says
Sometimes it's just a lot of "Rah-rah-rah-rah-rah-fuckin'-rah-rah-rah"
Marble mouth. Whit describes him PERFECTLY. 👌
Who is RA?
Not even a Bolts Fan, but that was a spit in the face by the GM.
“The schphere”
Biz makes a great point about bringing in winners. Florida's turnaround happened when Zito got Hornquvist from Pittsburgh.
No
Boys we need something like a 72 or 74 game schedule. That would cut a couple weeks off the season. 82 games - no way!
Never gonna happen
82 baby. Part of the reason its the toughest championship to get!
Tampa has a history of ruthlessness. St. Louis , Vinny, Sergichev, Yanni.
True. You give Guentzel 9/y and then offer Stammer 3? I still dont get it
Also won two cups in that span. Vegas is another ‘ruthless’ team yet they have the hardware to show for it as well. It’s a business
Take a shot every time Celebrini says "like"
That's our youth nowadays unfortunately. Like like like. It's their favorite buzz word.
The sharks should trade for Askarov. He fits the time frame of Celebrini, Smith, Eklund, Musty, Mukuhmadullin and Dickinson!
I would trade Bystedt, Endstrom or Bordeleau.

Love it lol, “RA any cool players picked in the draft?” “Yeah Thornton Celine Dion and three piece suits are back”.
Congrats Kyle
Well deserved
Okposo should be the Isles’ GM someday. What a beaut
RA thinking Zadorov needs him as a personal liason to the city of Boston is a bit pretentious. The year of the Warthog fizzling out in flames.
Let RA go. It’s so damn hard to understand what he’s saying and that might be a issue with this being a podcast…

We see ROR has listed his summer house outside Goderich for sale. Probably not needed now his season is going to be a month longer!!
Half the time Arvy was playing he was pissed off no one was feeding him the puck when he was open. I don't think he'll have that problem anymore.
Montreal and Minnesota had the best draft by far. No way Demigod fell to us 😂
That’s crazy Mack lived in SJ of all places already. Didn’t know that.

Celebrini is an awesome name for a 1st overall pick. Good luck, keep up with the hard work, you’re gonna be great
fucking hell boys, i dont think they pronounced one prospects name right when they started talking about the draft lmao
