Adam's brain turning on and absolutely showing off his radio host skills during the call is genuinely one of the most impressive things I've seen in a really long time. That was insane dude, major props!
That phone call from Adam is the most impressive things I’ve seen on the pod in ages. The entire time I was 2nd hand stressing like crazy while Adam was calmly pulling it off like a master deceptionist.
The fact that adam could make it up the spot is impressive. But to be honest, that's not a crazy call. As someone who's worked in advertising, that is just a standard advertising call.
That Raiders customer service assistant was awesome, but Adam handled it incredibly well. Very fun segment! But I can see the second hand embarrassment on Steve and it was hilarious lmfao
In the US, getting ESPN+ has access to the vast majority of out-of-market games & we love just bouncing between games and listening to the local announcers! It is great. The Kraken commentators had us in stitches the other night.
If there's one thing that Bruins and Leafs fans can agree on, it's that Sweeney and Neely are idiots that keep succeeding despite their extremely bad and short sighted decisions with their coaches and players.
@@Hockeyhobo89oh this Bruins fan has been waiting for this to happen for like 3 years. We spent what felt like 5 years saying “hey uh.. when Bergeron retires and Marchand gets old…. Um… where will our offense come from…”. Front office proceeded to do, nothing, develop, nothing. But hey, we got a goaltender, and you can coach good defense right?…
@@rickster_88 It's hard with coaches right? I mean nobody has a sure fire way of knowing what's right because NHL coaches pretty much only get 1 cup win if they get any at all their whole career because winning the cup is hard. It's the hardest and most desired trophy to win in pro sports. There's so many factors that go into winning a cup it's hard to know what's right and wrong. The one thing we know is that you can put together the perfect team, with the perfect people, and all the pieces, and still lose. How many times have we seen a team that seemed unstoppable only to see them fall to an obviously inferior team.
Jesse's take on the Montgomery firing was probably the best I heard from him in this podcast. It's exactly the thing you have said about the Leafs FOREVER but it's weird when other teams do what you ask. Happy the discussion turned around. (btw, Zadorov is 2nd in TOI for Bruins in the last 5 after McAvoy. Pairing isn't really relevant)
To explain Jarry getting the Bronx cheer as someone from Pittsburgh and know people who go to every game, our attendance this year has been basically exclusively season tickets holders. So could you imagine driving through Pittsburgh to watch the game just for the starter to give a goal first shot of the game 3 DIFFERENT TIMES and absolutely sewer your night 3 DIFFERENT TIMES? That’s what it’s like going to a Pens game this year, but at least it’s super cheap even for the game against Toronto. I paid nearly $50 less per ticket to go to a Pens Leafs game in Pittsburgh than I did the same exact time last year, same exact seats too. Glad as a Leafs fan but the homer in me really wants Crosby to get everything he deserves and life in more and this just ain’t it
Prepping for something in real time is an oxymoron. Prepping has nothing to do with it anyway. Looking things up online in real time to verify info is part and parcel of todays podcast experience. Part and parcel of life everywhere. Not asking Adam to do anything he isn’t capable of
Thank u for being honest about the Blue Jackets. All CBJ fans on Twitter are hopelessly optimistic about everything & give the org the benefit of the doubt when the org has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to earn it.
As a Blues fan, I'm watching the Jiricek story very closely. Armstrong has been going out of his way to get brothers lately, and with Adam Jiricek in the prospect pool, I could certainly see them trying to get a Jiricek/Jiricek right side
As a hardcore fan of all 5 of the NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL/MLS, I can tell you right now and say the MLS isn't closing on the NHL in any metric. They are struggling to even be the most popular soccer league in NA. The Premier League, La Liga, and Liga MX are three leagues that more people follow here over MLS. Adam mentioned that the MLS' revenue was catching up to the NHL's, but that's not true. For 2023, the MLS' revenue was $2 billion. The NHL's revenue last season was about $6.8 billion. That's nearly a $5 billion difference. That's not closing in my opinion.
Their games are on Apple TV. I'm a fringe soccer fan. I will watch h team Canada play and in the summer if there is a TFC game on, I'll watch. I won't subscribe to Apple Tv to watch a TFF games.
Crazy that we can watch the NHL games with no blackouts, home or away choices whenever we like with highlights or full replay here in Australia but you can’t in Canada 😮
Damn you SDPN! I had to leave to work clearing road's from snow. There hasn't been any until you said it ADAAAAM! 1st snow in Southwest or Finland. and we have over 20centimeters of that snow
as a red wings fan living in toronto the old NHL game centre package was awesome. its so annoying to not be able to select which teams local feed you get. luckily ken and mick are amazing so frequently it is the Detroit feed. at least now i dont have to listen to jack edwards when they play boston
The Leafs are 15-8-2 vs. Sens since 2019. Not exactly ‘our number’ and also not exactly great for Toronto. just shows how Leafs play down to opponents and Sens often get up vs. Leafs
The Jack Adam’s Awardstimeline: Award Year: Hey we thought you were going to be bad so you win. Next Year: Team goes back to being bad “hey they’re not supposed to be bad they were good last year, and they have a good coach” Final Year: Hey the team is still bad, maybe it’s the coach….Fired
You guys need to talk about George Parros' comments on the Knies hit from Prime's Coast to Coast broadcast. He literally laughed when told that Leaf fans are upset
That hail Mary offseason by the Bruins, where they lost the UFA trade with Vancouver, is why Montgomery got fired. Usually the GM fires an assistant coach and/or makes a couple trades before firing the head coach, because after that the curtain gets pulled back on the Wizard of Oz and they're cooked if things don't turn around.
I don't know how people keep falling for this every streaming service. "omg it's so cheap! Omg is so unrestricted! Omg they want you to share" 3 years later once the viewer bases in on the portal the price has tripled, they've created tiered levels of access, and they're blocking sharing. They only out-compete cable until they're big enough to become cable.
I was listening while at work not really paying attention and let me say... @ 33:52, as a person named Jacob, Steve stopped me dead in my tracks hahaha!
I’m also enjoy Bluesky! Some growing pains there but once the servers handle capacity better it will be great. Some quality convo’s and genuine engagement. The block and feed function is nice 😊.
All I can conclude so far this year is that Toronto got the best former Flames Defensemen out of the ones traded last year and its not particularly close. I miss Tanev so much lmao
46:08 Trade all of Ottawa's defense for defensive defensemen... Goaltending becomes less stressed; Penalty killing becomes less stressed; the opposing team gets blocked and hit into oblivion... Problem solved
Am I the only one that doesn’t think 50K is wild? It’s a 2 night event, one of the biggest events of the year, with box seats and free food and drink for $2000 a person?
What is more Leafy than having literally no players and winning but when everyone is healthy they will look like they've never played together before 🤦♂️😂
Why you guys going after Jarry all the time ? He's a 2 time All Star who led the league in shutouts last season and had a career save percentage of .913, playing behind the worst defense in the league this year
Columbus fan from the start. Sadly, you guys are absolutely right. Our draft record tells you everything you need to know, and that poor development is absolutely tied to our 2 series wins in over 20 years.
1:47:00 $50,000, all inclusive isn't that bad. For 25 people that's $2, 000 a head, or $1000 a night. Tickets in the nose bleeds are going for more than $700 a pop. Tickets on the floor are going for over $6500.
Honestly the reason the MLS is growing is because of all the immigrants coming to Canada and bringing their love of football (soccer to us Canadians and Americans) with them.
A few of Steve’s comments on the Jiricek situation are spot on - this should’ve happened weeks ago, and there’s no such thing as a developmental coach. That said, lemme play advocate for a sec. Evason is letting the other young players play and make mistakes because those mistakes are coming from being fast and aggressive, and they’re working their butts off - fantilli isn’t getting benched or healthy-scratched. The guy gave Brock Faber 20+ minutes as a 21-year-old rookie (before he got fired) because he was putting the work in and he was making aggressive mistakes. There’s a fair amount of data that says jiricek’s treatment is the exception, not the rule. So what’s really going on here. You watch him on the ice - he’s slow, he’s tentative, he’s nervous, he doesn’t know what he’s doing when he doesn’t have the puck. He started training camp on the 2nd pair and very quickly got passed, by more than 1 guy. They could’ve kept Mateychuk up, he seemed like he was ready, but they’re letting him cook in the A. Malatesta could’ve stayed up, his play in preseason warranted it. Greaves was arguably the best of the 3 goalies in the preseason and he went back down. I dunno, seems like the common denominator here is David Jiricek.

There’s a fair amount of data that says jiricek’s treatment is the exception, not the rule. So what’s really going on here.

I dunno, seems like the common denominator here is David Jiricek.
