Well, that'll never happen. Let's just start making money since advertisements. Our emails, Pred Wing's podcast@gmail.com, so I forgot to play the intro last week, so here. I was going to call you out on it. Yeah, I think you did. It's kind of a boring week in hockey. Not a whole lot going on yet. I shouldn't say boring. I'm itching to get the wings out on the ice and see what kind of product they're going to put out there this year. Well, the first game was last night, so it's just starting in, so that's real right into my beer league minute. Well, that was a good week for me. Last week, we played a decent team. As of late, like last year, I think we did good against them, but before we always seemed to lose against them, but we ended up with a 5-3 win. It fell behind 1-0, and then it was just one of those weird plays I should have had covered, but I couldn't get my glove on it. I got bouncing around, bouncing around, and they put it home. I almost got my leg pad on it, and then we came back, scored 3, took a 3-1 lead, they came in, they eventually tied it. And the third, I gave up one goal in each period, so I guess that's not too bad. Three goals in a beer league game, I guess, isn't too bad. And then we scored the winner with just over 2 minutes to play in the game, so it's usually the opposite. Usually I have no one that gives up those goals, so that's good. And then we had an empty net goal, and my defense been scored from, I think he released it behind the goal line. He might have been right next to me on the right. I was kind of hiding in the net, I didn't want to get too close to the side of the net, because I knew he was just wanting to get it down in the ice, and he put that thing dead center from my end of the ice. So it's nice to get a 5-3 win, we got a big game tomorrow, so who knows? It's a team we're playing as a 3-0 team, so... What's your record again? We're 2-1 now, that's our game, so... So it's, you know, having fun and doing everything, so... I guess that's it for the beer league minute for this week. I'm excited to hear what happens. Yeah, and obviously there's no, we don't have any games this week, Predators are playing, they start tomorrow night at home, they're home opener, and they play the Dallas Stars, so... They do have their opening lineup set, pretty much the same as I projected, you know, Luca Vangelista, Foresburg, Jankowski, Marcheso, obviously, McCarron, Novak, Nyquist, O'Reilly. Parson and Sis and Smith, Stankowski, and Thomasino on the first forwards, and then on defense, he got Carrier, Fabro, Yossi, Lausanne, Luke, Shen, Brady, Shea, and obviously I don't know, we don't know the lines yet, we'll find out tomorrow in the first game. And then Scott Wedgewood will be backing up to Saros, so that'll be the opening night roster, so... Excited to get the season going, and I don't know how your roster's looking for your first game, I believe tomorrow night. Yeah, you know, the wings start off with Pittsburgh, and I know that their lines have been a little crazy. I know one thing that I don't like this person, but I like his style of play, but the wings did sign Austin Watson. I like to... A one-year personality is just not one that I like, but I like that Steve Iserman's willing to do what it takes to help the team, and I think he's really going to help the team, because we don't have that grit, we don't have that physicality, we don't have somebody that's willingly going to drop the gloves. Like we saw that Cider can throw him with, I don't say with ease, but Cider's not afraid to get a little dirty, but he just doesn't do it often. He's not the guy that's going to come out and protect you, necessarily, if needed. Like he'll answer the bell, sure, he did one time. But Watson is a guy that he'll drop the gloves because you told him to, so... You might lose him now. We might. He actually fought back in Maryland. Yeah, I mean, 2024. Yeah, yeah, no, I get it. He's a tough guy. I'm reading online, would have been read online, would have been following on social media. It sounds like obviously Larkin's going to be your first line center, surrounded by Raymond on the right to break it on the left. Second line, I think our second line is going to be actually very good this year. It's a little bit older, but the skill set is still there. You got Cider on the left wing, JT Comfer is your center, and then Vladimir Teresenko on the right wing. Obviously, this is all possibility to change. But Raskin Museum, Cop and Fisher's a third line, Bergen, Valeno, and Mott is our fourth line. The third and fourth line still worry me a little bit. I just don't know how much production we're going to get out of that line, but we'll see. We'll see. Maybe the fresh faces and, you know, the new guys in the locker room will make some changes, but we'll see. Then you got Shurat and Cider back on D, Edvinson and Petrie, and Motta and Gustafson is going to round it out. And then you still have a three-way goalie battle, which is kind of, I don't want to say unique, but all three of these guys are somewhat NHL caliber and not quite NHL caliber. So this will be interesting. I think they'll carry all three all season. They kind of did that last year, but you've got Huso, Talbot, and Lion. I'm interested to see how Talbot falls in and how he plays. Obviously, he's a new face, but, you know, we kind of know what we're going to get out of Huso and Lion. I hope Huso has a good bounce back year. You know, that's something that I'm really hopeful for. You look confident. You know, earlier this year, you know, some of the reports that I've read on them and, you know, a couple of interviews, like the kids ready to come out and have a good year. We'll see if he can bounce back or not, but that's, that's who, you know, is projected for the wings at least as of today. And us and Watson had 14 fights in 2016, 17 alone there. And I think that's more than Detroit as a team had last year. 22, 23 at 12. So, yeah, he's 20 and that's like, they don't have that. Detroit needs that guy. He actually fought a prayer. Jeremy Lausanne in 2022 and when Watson was Ottawa. Oh, let's see who else see. Oh, he also fought Smith Nashville when he was doing Watson was on Tampa Bay. Did fight Ryan Reeves when runners was on pitch. That's when Watson was in Nashville in 2017. And he did fight Tom Wilson in 2017. So, it's his rating and that was 6.75. I don't know. They got a 10, I think. We'll see what, you know, maybe we'll watch Tom Wilson stone with Washington, right? Like him when they play Washington. I believe Detroit plays in quite a bit. Also, Pittsburgh is playing tonight against the Rangers and I think that's at home. I mean, yeah, that's in Pittsburgh, so they don't have to travel too far. So, but still it's a back-to-back game. So, I don't want to say easy for Detroit, but it looks at least their star, you know, but then again, you know, Pittsburgh will have that game in hand, you know, underway and maybe they'll be maybe it's better for them early in the season. So, there's going to be a CVA ending in the contract expires next September. 2025, but which is kind of amazing because the answer I usually wait until the 23rd hour to start talks, but they said they are going to start talks in early January. So, that's a promising sign for that. So, they might have a deal before maybe before the end of this season. I was going to talk about the Bruins, Swamin and the fans, a little saga going on, but they signed, they guess they were a little upset that they didn't sign them. And there was some, you know, back and forth and stuff like that, but Boston ended up signing Swamin on Sunday. Eight year, a 66 million dollar deal, which is about normal for gold funders. Yeah, but I think Swamin had to, had to be careful because I mean, he didn't have, he didn't carry the season on his shoulders. You got to remember he had line us all mark with him. So, it wasn't like the Bruins relied solely or heavily on Swamin. And, you know, let's, let's say he goes and signs somewhere else and he gets a, you know, a short term prove it deal before he gets a long term. And he has a bad season because the Boston defense protected him a little bit. Now is, now his value just drops. But if he has a great year, you know, that he's going to be worth it. And we'll get that high, that high term. So, I mean, this is really a big move for, for the Bruins to make this work. I think it's a big move for Swamin as well because I think that's always a risk when you go to another team. I mean, look what Detroit does to goalies. You know, who so might have been better than all mark if he had played on the Bruin team that he had last year. You don't know. But the fact is that you go somewhere else, you try to get that change of scenery. You know, the grass isn't always greener. That's a saying that said quite often. And I feel like that's, that's true in this case. I think Swamin probably wanted to sign in Boston just as much as Boston wanted them to sign in Boston. They just had to find that common ground a little bit of a saga. But as you stated, D law, the saga is over. Let's go time. Game on. Yeah. And he did not play last night. He was, they played car Priscilla who they'd signed. I think he was on Columbus if I never speak. I don't know if they signed him or if that was a trade, but I can't remember exactly. But I mean, Florida's defense didn't look that bad, but they played Florida. So, I mean, some of those goals were just goals that are just amazing. You know, that's Florida's a really good team. But I mean, I guess he can't really second guess, you know, because Florida's such a good team. But I'm just kind of shocked. They didn't, I guess maybe he's not, Swamin's not in game shape yet. I'm sure he'll play a blue. They play tomorrow night play Montreal. Sorry, they're in Boston and my job's playing tonight. So that's, so that might be a plus for them. So I'm sure he'll probably start against Montreal. Of course, it's a big rivalry as well. Yeah, he might. I mean, you don't know. I'm glad that it's over because I don't care about hearing about it. And it's a dumb deal. Yeah, and I mean, obviously he sounds like he was offered 64 million from the what the. And he must have turned that down. Because they're GM. I forgot. I'm trying to blame on it. He played too, I believe. For Boston. So he's got 64 million reasons to sign. And then obviously they must have gave him another two million on Sunday. But anyway, that's over with. I mean, they're GM's down Sweeney's been there for at least six, seven years, if not more. Okay, he didn't play to the. He coach, I think. Go down. He coached in GM. I'm not sure how I was thinking. He played with the other Sweeney. I'm thinking I believe maybe to play. I don't know. But anyway, I mean, obviously the season started last night, but before that. The season actually started last Friday. It was New Jersey about the in the global series, which actually, if you're, I don't remember. Last year it was a national head was in the global series. I believe actually won both of them. Cause I remember saying they're leading me in each. Oh, but we've seen that. But New Jersey won both of those games. So about flow starts on to and just a little side. I kind of didn't want to get too much into that. New Jersey. I don't know if it's, it's kind of funny, but it's kind of, is it, you know, does it, is it borderline tasteless? Mocking Buffalo that the arena that they're playing in and check. Cause the black is called the O to arena. And they pull it. They tweeted a picture of the arena and they put Buffalo's logo in the old. Oh, I can say about that is I don't like either team D laws. You know this, but karma is a real thing. You know what? It's a game that wasn't in the United States. Nobody had a home ice advantage. It was the first game of the season. So there's a lot of growth that's going to happen. And you, you already started out by throwing jabs at a team and. And it's early. I mean, it's there, you know, their own too. I mean, we'll see what happens. The first month or two, which obviously early and then might be the only two wins. New Jersey gets in the first month. Who knows? So yeah, you just, I mean, it's just, I don't know, whoever's in charge. Their social media needs to kind of. I want to say fire them, but they need to like kind of like thinking, you know, it's early, like we mentioned. So I don't want to, you know, in the next story, I don't really want to. It's in the past. It's last season. But, you know, as we all remember, McDavid did not come out and accept the council. Well, apparently there's a video coming out and one of the networks behind the scene stuff. But apparently McDavid didn't come out because to accept it because he was with his teammates in the locker room. You know, I get after the after the loss and everything. So I guess what are your thoughts? I mean, he was, he's a captain. I can, I can understand by the way. I mean, yeah. I mean, he's the first one to not accept it. I believe we're going to one other person. That didn't, that didn't accept it. He's only the second player to win the Khan Smith on the losing team. So, I mean, obviously right there. There's, I mean, obviously, usually the Khan Smith winners is on the winning team. So they're out there and then you're happy, obviously, you know, they're going to accept it. But so we really don't know. I, I don't know. I can't remember who the other, I, I want to say Gretzky, but I don't think it was him. The loss that won the Khan Smith. I don't know who the other person was or if they accepted or not. But then again, you know, when you look at it, you know, he's a captain and, you know, you, you, you fight all season long. You get to get seventh game, the last game with a playoffs and to lose it like you did. And they actually had a lead in the game and, you know, it's got to be really hard. It's a heartbreaker and not, it's a heartbreaking game. Not only for him, but all the players to work hard and the coaches. So I can understand why, you know, he wanted to be, you know, kind of consult with the team and be with the team and the team needed a leader at that point. So that's what they needed, right? Yeah. Do you agree with that? I can, I can, I can, I guess I'm not going to be critical of that. I was, you know what, you know, I like about that Dila. It's a, it's a them before me mindset. I'm going to go be with my team because they need me more than I need this trophy. And that's probably something that Larkin would do. I don't know very many captains. Maybe I don't know. But like I was about to say, you know, looking back, you know, as a fan, you don't know what's going on. I mean, obviously I don't either. I'm not a reporter or, or a team member. And as that happens, I was pretty critical and I need to like step back and, and I was like, you know, he should accept it. He's like, what's he doing crying? It's like, but I don't know, I don't know behind the scenes. I don't, that's, that's what's really hard about it. And you don't know. And so now that, and I would probably watch this video when it comes out. If it's already out in that sure. And because it's, you know, it gives you, I like the behind the scenes stuff. And, and because it gets you thinking, it makes you gives you an idea of what it's like. Because as a fan, you only see one side, you don't see behind the, you know, unless they, unless the player, whatever wants that out. Usually it's behind closed doors kind of thing. Right. So I guess you just, as a fan, you got to kind of like, don't be so critical right off and just kind of step back and think. And, you know, think about from their point of view, what was like, you know, what they're like, you know, what would you be like, maybe if you were in their shoes. Yeah, I mean, I just, I'm in the same boat. Like I would rather just give, you know, I would rather have the stories be talked about, then let my team sit in the locker room after a loss like that. I'm with big David on that one. And, and well, we just keep talking about this biggest thing. And what's the seller cap? It just won't go away. Robin Leonard, obviously he's not on the roster. He's got to be on the roster. He is not going to be on their salary cap, but he's still getting paid. Not sure exactly what his salary is. If he's still getting paid, shouldn't that be on the cap? To be honest, Dila, I'm not sure how that works. I mean, I mean, I'm going to have to look that up. And I get a really study. I don't know if he's even playing. I mean, is he retired or injured? I have no idea. Because I thought, I thought he had retired, to be honest. Well, I got eight and hell, it seems enough. So he, so I don't know if it's mute. The Vegas Knights will pay his salary, but it will not count against the cap. He will be paid $4.4 million. He just owed to him in the final year of his contract. He signed back in 2020, he signed a five-year deal with a cap and a 5 million. He failed to report for his mandatory physical before training camp. So that's probably why he's not on the roster, obviously. But seems to me, if he didn't, if he failed to go to his physical, why are they still paying? There should be somewhere in the clause that can cut him. Yeah, I don't, I don't have his butt. I mean, cap is, well, Vegas is almost 4 million over the cap cap, but I guess right now it doesn't really matter until the playoffs. But he's making, I say 4.4 million. So there's $4 million, should be counting it on the camp. Oh, we'll see how that, I mean, and that's just one player. I'm sure they're, you know, obviously doing it to other players too. I mean, well, I bet you those are gonna be more teams that have the same kind of a scenario this year. Mr. Stirken, he turned down an $80 million extension. He's still under contract. I think it runs out this year. I mean, he's currently, he's gonna get re-signed. Yeah, but he just turned down an $88 million extension. He'll get signed. And he's 20 years old. He's in the final year. The current contract is 22 million over four years. He's gonna be resolved before the season gets halfway over. Well, maybe. I mean, do you see, well, you know, that is the Rangers. I mean, he turned on 88. So does that mean they're gonna end up giving him 90 or were they gonna keep going back and forth and he'll end up. But if he turned on 88, he's probably not gonna sign for 85. Oh, maybe he's looking for a term deal instead of a price deal. Maybe he'll get the term. Yeah, that's for enough. It was an eight year, 88 million dollars. And he is 28. So that's. Yeah, that's a long one. For his age, proud. That's a risk. That's a lot. We're starting to see a decline in Vasilowski. He is 30. He's 30. Him. For in 1994. So there you go. He's trying to pass his prime. I don't want to say he's passed his prime. But I just, well, for him, I mean, he's. Yeah, remember to try in front of him, because you guys still have his player. Well, we can see, you know, they just, you sure it is. They didn't sign him. I mean, we still, we paid, we shout out a lot of money for him. So, I mean, you can't really say we stole him. Maybe if we only paid him for him, I mean, then, then, yeah, but. You know, they had just as much opportunity, actually more opportunity, because he would have signed if they wouldn't. There's some back. I guess I don't know if we'll ever know the story behind that. Maybe someday, but it doesn't sound like they were trying to lowball him or trying to get it. I think they thought they could get a hometown discount because that's still a team he's ever played for. But in Vasilowski's case, I mean, he's still elite. Oh, of course, but he's, I believe he's past the prime. I want to say, again, I don't want to say he's past his prime because there's been a lot of goal. He's succeeded after the age of 30. I mean, Marty Buran, Patrick Waugh, Chris Osgood, like some of these guys have been pretty good, but you just see, but you just saw last year he had a different team in front of him. He's facing more shots, better scoring chances, which are going to lead to more goals. I'm not saying, again, that he's declining in a terribly quick way. But, you know, he's, he's hit 30. His last season was, you know, not amazing. I mean, he had a good year, but it wasn't amazing. It wasn't Vasilowski like. And now you've got, what's his name there? Schusterken asking to be paid until he's, what, 36 at a high level? I think that's a risk. I think he'll get it, but I think it's a risk. I think you're going to have to make a very front end loaded with the ability to get out of it if needed. That's just what I, what I feel about it. And I think that's about all the NHL stories that I've got for this week, as far as for this news. And I just seen, it doesn't look like Saros is going to be in for this opener tomorrow night, and apparently he's got a lower body injury. It's uncertain. Happened in the preseason loss to Carolina on Saturday. I don't know. I'm, I'm thinking he'll probably play. Yeah, they always do that. It might be, it might be a more regaining time decision. I mean, he's not ruled out. They did, they did recall Matt Murray from Milwaukee, but that could be just a precautionary. So he's there in Nashville, ready to go to back up Wedgewood. Matt Murray was on the stars. That's Wedgewood. Wedgewood was on New Jersey, wasn't he? So we'll have to keep an eye on that for tomorrow. But I'm thinking, I want to say 85% chance he'll play. I could be wrong. I'm Asian. You know, I don't know, just this lower body. So who knows? I think that's all the NHL news I have for this week. And, I mean, obviously, you know, last night, that opening night, there was three games. Florida raised their banner against Boston. It was kind of a, it was a short ceremony. It was a lot shorter than I thought it would be. And nobody talked. They just brought the captain brought the cup outside of the table, then they raised the banner and then they sung the anthems and got aligned with the game. So I guess that's, you know, that's what it should be. I guess they don't know, you know what to do. No, no, no, no ceremony. But the other game was the lake Utah, all that. They say they're not connected to Arizona, but a lot of their players were Arizona. So I just get that connection. Yeah, they're trying to get a new identity. They don't even have a name yet. I just, then they played Chicago. I saw the first part of that game in Chicago. They might still be in trouble this year. I mean, Utah looked really good. Their young team, their date, they're scary. I know. I want to say the Utah coyotes, but I know it. But I mean, yeah, they were just, I mean, Chicago did score two goals. I don't know what to score. They was like four to three, four to two, or five to two. Maybe I can't. Not sure what I came and what the score was, but from what I saw of it, Utah was pretty much hand away with Chicago, which is, you know, obviously it's the first game. I'm sure you've seen that. And when he was with Detroit, those days, but I don't know, maybe, you know, obviously it's early. It's the first game. So, you know, you can't really count. You can't really judge their season by that game. Utah might fall flat on their face too. They just, you know, maybe it was just one of those games that, you know, they used to be in the same division. In Arizona, when they were Arizona, they were in the central Chicago. So they kind of played each other quite a bit. And they know each other. So it was just, you know, maybe they just had their number with them. So I don't want to read too much indoor yet. Obviously, it's the first game. So that's all I want to talk about them. I spent way too much time talking about Utah in this segment. Hey, on a brighter note, you see who the Red Wing signed to Grand Rapids? He's got ties kind of to Nashville and Rochester, as well as the devil's farm team. Let's see if you can get who that is. Do you have any ideas? I'm driving blank. Most recently played. How about this? This will give it away. His brother played for you for a long time. And then this guy played in Rochester. And I think they were both in the New Jersey system at the same time. And I'm driving blank. Welcome, Suban. Oh, yeah, I knew I'm thinking that he's a gold tundered P.K.s and working for ESPN. He was actually born in Chicago, Jersey. They were in Utah. And all the other guys had Utah, Jersey, and P.K.s got to Chicago. That was kind of interesting. That's P.K. flair for you. And Malcolm's got that flair too. Yeah, I mean, he's there for a depth signing. You know, I think he'll be all right. No, he's never anything special, but he's had some flashes. Flash in the pan. That's right. Let's see. St. Louis. I mean, they played. They also played two last night. They actually, this is noteworthy because, yeah, that was their 12th win in the season opener. And it's the most in the NHL. I guess they're good at opening night. Well, we'll see how they are in the regular season. That's all right. You know, every team is good at something, I guess. And, well, much else still winning. The Rangers are up three to nothing on Pittsburgh. So maybe that might not be good for Detroit. Maybe Pittsburgh will be, well, who knows? It's still ours in the first intermission. Maybe Pittsburgh will be mad and, well, who knows? I guess you can't really read into that stuff. Which was the thing I gained by game, but I was watching a little bit of the Toronto Montreal and Montreal does have to lead, but Toronto pretty much had to puck in the zone. I mean, obviously it's early, so we'll see what, you know, what's going on with Montreal this season in Toronto. It's going to be an interesting season, but that's how, like, you know, obviously we went through our season rankings last week. We will obviously, probably next week, we can probably jump into the actual priorities. And maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe a little preacher, but we could definitely talk about it. Maybe give it two weeks. Maybe maybe by the third or fourth show. Or maybe by maybe maybe give it a month. Maybe starting November, maybe really don't have much else. I think I'm going to keep the same as I did last week. I'm still going to go. Even though even if Cyril's doesn't play, I'm still going to go with a win. They've got a good team. We can't really fall to gold thunder. You know, so I just reiterating what is the same if he didn't hear less. Listen to the last week's show. I'm just going to say a win, you know, win against Dallas and add Detroit loss against Boston, Seattle win against Edmonton and Detroit, which they played twice. The only two times they meet in twice and look in a couple of weeks. And then in Detroit side, I call a win in Pittsburgh national loss. Win against the Rangers and then two losses against the Rangers and Nashville. Then a win against the Islanders. So I didn't, I'm not going to change what I did from last week. So I'm not changing anyway. So I'm just going to go really quick with mine. I've got a win against Pittsburgh for Detroit, a win against Nashville in Detroit, a loss at the Rangers, a win at home against the Rangers, a loss to Nashville, and a win against the Islanders. I feel like Detroit starts out hot and then teeters off and then picks it up, but it's always too late for Nashville. I'm going with a Dallas win for a Nashville. A lost to Detroit, a win against Boston, a loss to Seattle, lost to Edmonton, and a win against Detroit at Nashville. I mean, another short show, but obviously as we ramp up, we'll have a lot of happenings right now. We'll have some little recaps and news stories and all that kind of stuff. Really nothing, nothing to report on. As far as you had rules. Yeah, I don't think they start till maybe they start. I don't know the HL starts before or after. After the HL, I think they start and I had to look, I honestly don't know when the Ambrose first game is. I'll look that up for next week and see what their schedule is like. I'm just going to be completely honest with you, Dila. I am not even going to entertain the HL for probably the first half of the season because you've got Tigers baseball right now, which is extremely fun to watch. You've got the Lions who I'm going to miss a game. I know, and I know this is hockey, but I heard the Tigers set a attendance record in their game three. That was today. This was the first game in the off season or postseason for the Tigers at home. They set a postseason record at 44,855. I believe that is that was that a team record or that I'm the record. Oh, it's the largest postseason game in America Park history. So I mean, you got to think though, the Tigers and I know again, this is a hockey podcast, but the Tigers got hot at the right time. They're literally the hottest team in baseball right now today as we speak. There are much better teams out there, but Detroit just got hot at the right time and they're just doing what they have to do like they're just finding ways to win. They're pitching is pitching the way that it's supposed to. Right now the Tigers have back to back shutout games. Obviously the first game wasn't so fun, but they're playing well and it's fun to watch. So that's why I get back to it. That's why I'm not going to have time to follow the Red Wings multiple times a week. The Lions every week, the Tigers multiple times a week and the griffins. The Tigers and griffins. Oh my red wings. Oh, yeah, that too. But yeah, you mentioned they're getting high the right time that I mean, that happens in hockey as well, especially, you know, I mean, this is early in the year. Yes, you want to come out hot, but you definitely want to be hot. I mean, you want to set yourself up. So you can get hot. So you get hot in March and April, right? Well, you wrote the playoffs because obviously it doesn't do you any good if you're not in a playoff spot. But I mean, so I guess you just want to set yourself up October, November, December, January. You want to set yourself up so you're in the playoff race. So you so and then you can get hot at that time in March, April. Kind of like the what the price did that one year. So almost keep with us. It's a really short episode last week was a bit longer. It's going to be a lot to discuss, but I mean, that's all I have unless you have anything more. Nope, that's all I got.
