Transcript

00:00Oh baby, totally rolling back with you here.

00:09We're going to get to a road to repeat here as it's brought to us by our friends over

00:14at Celsius.

00:15Hockey fans don't sit this one out when it's game time, make Celsius a part of your play

00:18and get that energy up.

00:20Game day is fueled by Celsius essential energy drinks.

00:22The official energy drink of your Florida Panthers.

00:27All right.

00:28So the Panthers win yesterday, a three nothing shutout.

00:32Sergei Bobrovsky moves up to 10th all time in wins.

00:39He's good.

00:4010th all time, huh?

00:43Goosey's.

00:44Yeah.

00:45Maggie San Miskevich let the lamb for the cat.

00:47Sam Reinhardt had a goal and two assists as did Barkie and uh, they're killing it man.

00:53But the fun thing we got to talk about is Jonah Gadgivich who got into two big scraps

00:59in this game and he was throwing some bombs in these, in this matchup.

01:06So let's get the call last night from Doug Plagans.

01:10Here's the first one with Gadgivich played up the far side.

01:15Gadgivich took a shove from Labate and here we go.

01:18Jonah Gadgivich and Joe Labate, two big top customers throwing bombs, the right hands

01:24flying between these two right at the center line and then they pull in close, Gadgivich

01:30and Labate.

01:32The hustle spills over toward the Panthers bench and eventually our linesmen get in the

01:38middle of that and my goodness, they were swinging for the fences, both of them.

01:44They were starting to lawnmower, weren't they?

01:45Pretty quick.

01:47Cut her down.

01:48The rights were wide open for both of them and Labate, Gadgivich toe-to-toe, so Gadgivich

01:59started this.

02:00They give him the roughing call.

02:011026 left.

02:02Wow.

02:03So I don't understand.

02:06So they get five minutes for fighting and then you get a roughing call.

02:13So like it could be a penalty of start.

02:15So they go on the power play, but there could also be a fight where it's like, if they,

02:17if it's a mutual thing, it's just five or fighting.

02:20They're out of the game for five minutes.

02:23And so did they go, so it was five on four for, for two minutes, for two minutes.

02:31Okay.

02:32So if you do, and then it was four on four for three minutes, I don't know, dude, like

02:40this is, they both got five minutes.

02:42Yes.

02:44Five minutes penalty for fighting.

02:45And it's just a five on five.

02:46They're just out of the game.

02:47Oh, okay.

02:48So they just take them up.

02:50Just take them out.

02:51Okay.

02:52But Jonah Gadgivich was making the most of his time and he decided to clip his nails

03:00with scissors with scissors.

03:02Whoa.

03:03That would have really been something for you to looked over at the lady right there.

03:07You say you got your nail clippers with you.

03:09I believe she did give it to him.

03:11The scissors.

03:12She gave him the scissors.

03:14And sometimes you get that little hang part.

03:16You got to cut it off.

03:17Otherwise it messes your hand up.

03:19He, uh, well, I think this was Paul Maurice on the fight and, uh, this is, this is, uh,

03:26him on what he was doing, looking at Jonah's two fights, especially in a tight game.

03:30How much does that mean just to provide you guys with some energy there early?

03:34Yeah, I keep it going.

03:36That second fight is two heavyweights.

03:39There isn't anybody on either bench that wants to be involved in that fight.

03:45Coaches included.

03:46Uh, that's a, that's impressive what he, what he's willing to do for us.

03:50Weird stuff has gone on in the penalty box over the years, but he was clipping his fingernails

03:54with a pair of scissors.

03:55I think he was just taking out the split skin.

03:58Okay.

03:59Yeah.

04:00So he wouldn't have been doing his nails.

04:01There's no manicures.

04:02It's illegal.

04:03No, he was, there would be some extra flayed skin off that.

04:08You'd be just slicing it off.

04:10That's a whole different level of toughness.

04:12Yeah.

04:13That's a level of testosterone.

04:14I'll never get to

04:15I love the way he just calmly says some of the most non-masculine things ever.

04:26That's a level of testosterone.

04:27I'll never get to

04:28he's a man who had his kittens on his t-shirt.

04:37But also man, I wouldn't want to fight.

04:39He looks like he could, uh, he could flip the switch.

04:41Right.

04:42Yeah.

04:43Right.

04:44Maybe not Jonah Gajewicz flip the switch, but this was, uh, this was the, and everybody

04:48on that squad seems to know when Paul Maurice's had enough.

04:55Oh yeah.

04:56Right.

04:57Oh yeah.

04:58Oh yeah.

04:59Here's the other fight call last night with Gajewicz.

05:00Matthew Olivia just threw a hard shot on Tomasz Nosek and that is blue text team.

05:04They don't need too many chances.

05:05Here we go.

05:07Jonah Gajewicz.

05:08Number two for Gajewicz.

05:09His second one of the night.

05:10This time it's Olivier right in the center circle.

05:11The old fashioned way.

05:12Two heavyweights.

05:13Two of the best in the business.

05:14When it comes to this sort of thing, they lock horns.

05:15Gajewicz has the collar of Olivier's jersey with the left hand.

05:16Tries to break free with the right hand.

05:17Olivier playing some defense.

05:18Then he comes over the right.

05:19A right from Gajewicz lands.

05:20Then a couple of rights from Olivier.

05:21Gajewicz counters right to the mandible of Olivier.

05:22Gajewicz.

05:23Gajewicz.

05:24Gajewicz.

05:25Gajewicz.

05:26Gajewicz.

05:27Gajewicz.

05:28Gajewicz.

05:29Gajewicz.

05:30the right.

05:31A right from Gajewicz lands.

05:32Then a couple of rights from Olivier.

05:33Gajewicz counters right to the mandible of Olivier.

05:37These two continue to throw.

05:39Right hand both directions.

05:40Gajewicz and Olivier.

05:43This coming right after Olivier through that hard shot on Tomasz Nowsek.

05:47The battle spilling down to our left inside the Blues Hackett's line.

05:51One of the best scraps you'll see any time anywhere.

05:55Gajewicz and Olivier.

05:57Eventually.

05:58Two of them run out of gas.

05:59I'm right out of gas and you see the mutual sign of respect, I think, between the two

06:05top customers there, Gajewicz and Olivier, and talk about a full day's work here at period

06:13number one for Jonah Gajewicz going head to head with first Labate and now Olivier.

06:20If I gave them two WWE names, could you tell the difference of what he was commenting on?

06:27Did he drop a mandible?

06:28Oh, hit him in the mandible!

06:29And in the background, they have let the bodies hit the floor.

06:35That's Game Ops right there, dude.

06:38That's Game Ops.

06:39I mean, like, holy smokes.

06:42Uh oh, here we go!

06:46And here we go!

06:48Doug Plagans is so damn good at calling those fights.

06:52That's a professional right there.

06:53They're throwing bombs!

06:55Who are the best tough customers in all of hockey?

07:00Goosies.

07:01Too unfiltered.

07:02I don't understand, because here's the thing about Doug.

07:06He's not an old guy, right?

07:10I mean, how old do you have to be to use the phrase, tough customer?

07:22Every time we talk to him, we gotta, like, hey, love the way you call these fights.

07:27You gotta up your game.

07:28You too young to be saying tough customer.

07:30I don't think he does.

07:31There's like an art to it.

07:32Like, it just sounds hockey, you know?

07:37My favorite was he dropped a mandible, though.

07:39Like, what?

07:40Who the last time has used the term mandible for a jaw?

07:44Right!

07:45But I'm just saying, like, he just, he says some things, like, does it just hit him?

07:51Does he have it prepared?

07:54Because, like, we're sitting here listening to this fight and go, huh, tough customer.

08:01There's just something about a hockey announcer, dude.

08:02Like, he's so good at it, and he paints such a great picture on the radio.

08:06Oh, look.

08:07He really does.

08:08I could see the picture.

08:09I saw the fight.

08:11But here's the kicker.

08:14Goldie and Doug do it differently, right?

08:20And I don't know whether it's TV versus radio.

08:24It's definitely TV versus radio.

08:25Like, TV, I think, you know, you almost want to step back and let the action speak for

08:29itself.

08:30But, holy smokes.

08:33The blow by blow.

08:34But, like, Doug Plagans goes from hockey to Jim Lampley in a second.

08:39Right!

08:40That's what I'm saying.

08:41Like, it's remarkable.

08:43It just, like, and Jim Lampley would say two tough customers.

08:47Definitely.

08:48Oh, yeah.

08:49Oh, yeah.

08:50We talked to him.

08:51He's long in the tooth.

08:52By the way, he's going back.

08:55Yeah.

08:56He's going back.

08:57Another guy who got some good.

08:58Maggie Samaskiewicz and our boy Jim Lampley.

09:00Hey, I got to tell you, you come on the Tobin and Leroy show, things are happening.

09:05Things are happening.

09:06Things are happening.

09:07I mean, look.

09:08How long have we had Zanderon?

09:09I know.

09:10Since he was a wee lad.

09:11A wee lad.

09:13By the way, one last note.

09:14We had a Swedish linkup last night.

09:17Cross sport.

09:18Our boy Pella Larsson met up with Gustav Forsling and Jesper Bokvist at the game.

09:25So the Swedish pro athletes unite.

09:29Got to tell you, the three of them standing there.

09:37Can you tell which one is the hockey player and which one is the basketball player?

09:40Because they're all pretty tall, right?

09:44I would say the hair gives it away.

09:46But yeah.

09:47Just because Pella's hair is too pretty.

09:51Yeah.

09:52Yeah.

09:53Well, you know, hockey.

09:54You got the hockey mullet going on the right.

09:57Yeah.

09:58What a time.

09:59What a game by the cats.

10:00They went three nothing.

10:01Yeah.

10:02It was.

10:03And it wasn't that close because the pressure that they put on that poor goalie, I mean,

10:11it was like, I'm like.

10:14You're watching that.

10:15You're like, they only scored three.

10:17Bob could have hung a hammock between the pipes and took a nap in the second period.

10:21Yes.

10:22It.

10:23I mean, and I would say that's the portion of it that the coach has to love, right?

10:29Of course.

10:30Yes.

10:31Yes.

10:32He loves.

10:33He's loving Seth Jones already.

10:34He's loving him.

10:35Oh, yeah.

10:36I wish he would've got his first goal.

10:37Oh, because it was.

10:39Yeah.

10:40Fun.

10:41They're fun to watch, man.
