00:34Nah, man, I'm saying it's play of vibes, baby.

00:36Hey, check this out.

00:38Vlad, when you have one, you go immediately think this.

00:42I need some more.

00:43Yeah. Oh, really?

00:46It really does.

00:47Oh, Panthers lose twice this weekend.

00:50Once again, falling apart in the.

00:54What they gave up three goals and four goals.

00:56What is going on here?

00:58I don't know. I don't like it.

01:00I don't want to fix it.

01:02Paul Maurice, this is what he had to say on where the cats are at right now

01:06as they're coming back home and then they're going to go back out on the road.

01:10They got Columbus on Thursday, so they played in New York.

01:14Second night of a back to back.

01:16They lose four to two to the Islanders.

01:17They were up to nothing.

01:19Once again, fell apart in the third period.

01:22And that was after they lost to the Canadiens.

01:25So after the one game that they won was, you know, the big one against

01:28against Toronto, but, you know, look, the cats are dealing

01:33with a lot of injuries right now.

01:34Aaron Eckblad is gone.

01:36And, you know, the numbers with Seth Jones have not been fantastic thus far.

01:42It's getting used to his new teammates.

01:45All right. Hey, maybe you're right.

01:46Maybe you're right.

01:47I'm just like he did have that one awesome play.

01:48I was saying last night.

01:49You had that one awesome play.

01:50I was saying last night.

01:51I'm just telling you, listen, I'm not I'm not ripping Seth Jones.

01:54I just want to do it.

01:54But the hockey heads, the hockey heads.

01:57Oh, my goodness.

01:59I'm not ripping Seth Jones, dude.

02:00I would never do that.

02:01All right.

02:02I'm just letting you know, the hockey heads, the puck heads are already in Chicago.

02:08They're moonwalk insane.

02:09We won that trade.

02:11We won that trade.

02:12We got our goalie of the future.

02:14They took a washed player who's going to make a lot of money.

02:17They took a washed player who's going to make a lot of money.

02:20They took a washed player who's going to make a lot of money.

02:23I'm just letting you know.

02:23That's what I think.

02:24He's going to show what it matters because when it mattered in the in the

02:28big one of the plays of the game, I'm not worried about it.

02:33Just letting you know, the hockey heads out there already saying, hey,

02:37you know, might have gotten fleeced.

02:38Here you go again.

02:39I'm just saying just don't you know, Zito was a magician.

02:44The best week ago, you realize you say it was all good.

02:48A week ago, I'm just telling you, dude, you know, they told me look, you

02:53don't realize 82 games a year.

02:56Yes.

02:57They've lost two.

03:00Three to four.

03:01Three out of four in the 82 game season.

03:04Yep.

03:05And you've already jumped ship on half the team.

03:07I haven't jumped ship on Seth Jones.

03:10I the fact that you putting it on somebody else mean you thinking it.

03:13This is Scott Powers.

03:16You don't even know who that is.

03:17Oh, I could have been awesome hours.

03:20Hey, I love the way when he wants to make a point about what people are

03:25saying or how he feels.

03:27He pulls up rando guy on Twitter.

03:31Rando.

03:32I'm just like, you know, when was the last time you mentioned this guy's

03:35name?

03:35I've never heard of him before until now.

03:37You use it.

03:39Are you using him?

03:40We'll just send some early returns on the trade and people were worried

03:43that you gave up a Spencer Knight, a young goalie of the future.

03:48No, I'm not worried about it.

03:49Hey, I'm Bob.

03:50Like you got to play it when they did it.

03:53You said Zito's about winning now and you will probably win.

03:57But but but here's the thing with about winning now, just like the

04:01Terry Rozier trade, you better produce now.

04:05Just saying with Seth Jones.

04:07I need you now.

04:07There's no eggplant.

04:09Anyway, that's his fault.

04:12Is it his fault?

04:14Not his fault.

04:15They're giving up a lot of goals.

04:18No, it's his fault.

04:19The eggplant is not there.

04:21Oh that he's juicing to the gills.

04:22No, that's not his fault.

04:24Now, my question to you is and I've said this earlier.

04:31What if they knew eggplant was going to get suspended?

04:36And that was the best deal that they could make to try to you see what

04:40I'm saying?

04:41Yeah, they might have can't rule it out.

04:43They know they know first the player and because they they make the

04:47announcement and then you get a chance to appeal before it goes public.

04:54I think I think that's how it goes.

04:56Here was Paul Maurice after last night's loss.

05:00No, it's good for us right now.

05:02I think this is a certain amount of humbling that you want to have

05:06happened before you go into the playoffs.

05:08We still got some work to do to get there.

05:10We're losing bodies and I think that's going to be the trend where we

05:12still got four sets of back-to-backs and all the teams we play are

05:16rested.

05:16So everybody's fighting for their lives right now.

05:19It's a grinder to the finish.

05:20So we want to make sure we feel confident what we're doing put some

05:24pretty strong periods in the last week.

05:26We just have had results that we don't care for.

05:31I do like him after a loss.

05:33He'll that guy knows that only the cat schedule.

05:35He knows everybody else's schedule.

05:37Well, yeah, I mean when you got four more back-to-backs and you looking

05:42at all the teams you play on the second night getting a free fresh, you

05:46know, start.

05:48Yeah.

05:50Cats will be back at it on Thursday against Columbus and I think they

05:54have a lot of those back-to-backs because all of the other stuff they

05:57have to do like go see the president like they went up to so all these

06:03are scheduled before the season.

06:05Yeah, right.

06:05So yeah, right.

06:07They took we went to Finland.

06:08They did they did all this stuff.

06:10So when you get back into the States, your schedule is kind of more

06:13condensed than everybody else's because you've done all these other

06:17things.

06:18I mean, you always go visit the president whenever the champion goes

06:20to Washington.

06:21They go visit the president.

06:22Yeah, but what about Finland?

06:25I don't know about Finland, right?

06:27I don't know.

06:27I just think like relax, you'll be all right.

06:31No, you like everybody talking about Seth Jones.

06:33He being for a week.

06:34Relax.

06:35Okay.

06:37And and if anybody's way if he needs instant gratification, baby, you

06:41had a great play against the the biggest game of the stretch.

06:43They won't play.

06:45Isn't the game 60 minutes?

06:47No, but dude, it was it was like the play of the game.

06:49He played he made.

06:50Okay, he made the play of the game.

06:52All right, he did got to tell you you said that Sam Bennett.

06:55He saved that save the possession to get to the San Benegal.

06:58That was a huge play.

06:59I get it but like there's a reason why they trade it for him because

07:04he does that a lot.

07:05So let's just give him more than two weeks.

07:14Why are we putting all that on Seth Jones?

07:16I'm not putting it all the only play of what a minute and a half

07:20of shift news minus three yesterday.

07:24So that means he gave up three goals while he was on the ice while he

07:27was on the ice.

07:28Isn't he a defenseman?

07:30Yes.

07:31Isn't he like right by the goalie?

07:35You're done.

07:36Nothing gets by you.

07:38Wow, you know, let me tell you something.

07:43Far be it for me to ask you a damn hockey question.

07:46What but I got to tell you, I don't like your tone right now.

07:51Your teams are losing.

07:52Why are you being so defensive about Seth Jones?

07:59Because he's hockey intangible.

08:01No, that's not why.

08:03That's not why.

08:05All right.

08:06He just got here.

08:08I know he did.

08:09It's only been what?

08:11You already putting all the the Panthers problems on him.

08:16I'm not putting it all on him.

08:18Yeah, man.

08:18You put yes, you are.

08:20Yes, you have.

08:22Including you pulled the old the old rabbit out of your hat, which

08:26you always do people who are people people.

08:31You pulled up an air Scott Powers Scott Powers.

08:36Yep.

08:37He read, you know, he read hockey before now.

08:39No, I just Googled.

08:43I just Twitter search Seth Jones says the Florida Panthers have

08:46been outscored 6-1 with Seth Jones is on the ice in a five-on-five

08:49in his first seven games.

08:51He has a 41.61 expected goals percentage.

08:53I don't know what that means.

08:55Right, but it doesn't sound good.

08:56You translate it into.

08:58Oh, Seth is sucking right now.

09:00Well, yeah.

09:03Somebody says little too early to start Patton the Blackhawks

09:09GM on the back stats or stats.

09:10The only question is when the Panthers are playing for the

09:12cup. Will you post this take?

09:14He says, I don't know if it was a take just notice that he

09:16hadn't had a great start to the first seven games.

09:19Yeah, I can imagine.

09:23I can think how smoothly do you think it is going to go?

09:27Like this is different hockey.

09:31Whoo.

09:32Seth Jones equals Terry Rozier.

09:34Huh?

09:34That's what you're doing.

09:35I didn't do that.

09:37Somebody said I never defended Lombard like this.

09:40Didn't have to.

09:41It's quite interesting and quite dispelled.

09:45Q-W-I-E-H-I-T-E.

09:50Gotta give Schmidt the credit.

09:51That's very good.
