Transcript

00:00Alexander Ovechkin, he, Putin's a fan.

00:04Yep.

00:04He's, he's now the all-time goals leader.

00:08Congratulations to Ovi.

00:10Yesterday, he scored the goal

00:12and slid on his belly like a penguin.

00:14Got lucky.

00:15What?

00:16Man, 20 years.

00:18He's no Crosby.

00:20I mean, it's not championships.

00:22By the way, we got a,

00:24we didn't even, haven't even acknowledged Ovechkin.

00:27I literally just did that.

00:29Oh, sorry.

00:30No way.

00:31No way.

00:32I did it again.

00:33No way.

00:34I need a minute.

00:35Minus one.

00:36No way, Leroy.

00:39I was perusing at the same time.

00:41Sorry.

00:42You can't do that, though.

00:43You can't do that.

00:44He just said, he literally.

00:46You know what the last thing I remember?

00:48Yeah.

00:49Yeah, what's that?

00:50Volkanovski.

00:51Okay, which was right before it.

00:53So I understand.

00:54I understand where you think that.

00:55And then that led to AI pictures of Volkanovski

01:00on a kangaroo, which.

01:01And then, and then with Putin on a horse.

01:05And then that's when he just turned off.

01:06Because that's where Ovechkin happened right after that.

01:09Well, like I completely get it.

01:11Sometimes, sometimes you get caught up with the perusing

01:14and you forget.

01:16I was reading.

01:18I was actually reading at the time.

01:20Tua dropped the bluey and picked up the Johnny Walker blue.

01:23Oh my God.

01:25Poor Tua.

01:26Poor Tua, huh?

01:27Like, I just said it, though.

01:29He did just say it.

01:30I just said it.

01:31He did just say it.

01:32How did he not hear me say Ovechkin?

01:35No, I think he's.

01:35Like, it had a whole.

01:36I told you why.

01:38I started reading in the chat.

01:40Wait a minute.

01:41And I need to know, what just happened?

01:45I was reading the chat.

01:47What do you mean, dude?

01:48This is the second time in three shows

01:53I was reading the chat.

01:56Game boy, my memory is not bad.

02:00It's my attention skills that sometimes slip.

02:03Because again, I was reading the chat

02:07and then went back and he says.

02:10He got as far, by the way, as AI Putin.

02:12And then that's when it shut off.

02:14And like literally one more sentence was Ovechkin.

02:17Just one more sentence.

02:19I don't even know, man.

02:20I don't even know.

02:23All right, I'm turning off the chat.

02:26Gosh.

02:29Thank you, sir.

02:31But we were giving him his flowers.

02:35Although I did say he was no Sidney Crosby,

02:37which is the opposite of giving him his flowers.

02:39You gotta admit, it was a few.

02:41Wait, so you went with Sidney Crosby?

02:44Yeah, I did.

02:46Not Wayne Gretzky?

02:48No, because, you know, that would be expected.

02:51Sidney Crosby pisses me off.

02:52Wait, where does Sidney Crosby fit with Wayne Gretzky?

02:57Well, I'll get there eventually.

02:59But as soon as he gets out.

03:00No, he won't.

03:02No, Kachuk.

03:04No, he won't.

03:05He's good.

03:06He's good.

03:07Why are we talking about Sidney Crosby?

03:08But he's no Matthew Kachuk.

03:09Because he said that Ovechkin's good, but he's no Sidney Crosby.

03:14I mean, it's kind of like a it's a it's a wins versus stats type of thing.

03:19Those two are always connected.

03:20Like that was a longtime thing.

03:22Sidney Crosby won all the other cups.

03:23Then Ovi won the cup.

03:25And then he went party mode.

03:27You know, or you want to talk about an offseason card?

03:30Oh, I know.

03:31Ovechkin won the cup.

03:32But the only difference is he came back and had 40 goals.

03:35Well, he scores goals.

03:36He's always scored goals, but he does.

03:38And isn't that what Gretzky did, though?

03:40I think in my mind, Ovechkin, well, yeah, but Gretzky's.

03:44How many? How many cups does Gretzky have? Five?

03:46Yes. Five cups, I believe.

03:47He's the great.

03:48I mean, he has everything.

03:49Yeah, right.

03:50Is that the Jordan LeBron thing?

03:53No, no, because he has and he's not.

03:54No, because LeBron has the stats.

03:56Jordan has the success.

03:59Right. But that's exactly right.

04:00But I will.

04:01But I do like how Wayne Gretzky seems like a really gracious dude in all of this.

04:06Like even somebody was trying to say, like, you know, oh, like doing the heiress thing.

04:11And he goes, he goes, he's like the goaltenders are better than they've ever been.

04:15Like, he gives nothing but praise to this, like this era of hockey.

04:21You know, like he did that with Barkov, too, because I don't think I've ever seen a goal better than that.

04:24And I feel like, you know, like I saw this week, there's already a clip of of Shaq saying, like, when Benyamin

04:31Chet Coleman, he'd make them quit.

04:33Like, there is a difference in how we're because we're Shaq.

04:38Shaq said he never had problems with tall guys.

04:40It's the guys that were smaller than him.

04:44That he had problems with.

04:46Because of where when he leaned back on him, but I'm like, yeah, but here's the other thing, Shaq.

04:54What if they put you on the top of the key and took you off the dribble or shot a three over you?

04:59Like you got to go in and out of the paint, you never had to go into the perimeter

05:04like seven footers have to do now.

05:06They never should have him go to the perimeter, though.

05:08Never. I understand that.

05:10But he would he ever be close enough to chat into to.

05:16Wimby on the other side.

05:18I mean, if women would grow up and stop trying to shoot threes like, you know, he maybe would put up even bigger numbers.

05:24Like he's trying to be like some version of Kevin Durant.

05:26All that is great.

05:28But what I'm saying is, is Shaq said he would fold them up.

05:33But on the other end, you would never be close to him.

05:37They're not just going to go back to the basket against you.

05:40I think he would fold them up.

05:41I think he would.

05:42You think so? Yeah, I think he would.

05:44It's mostly like first.

05:45You don't think you don't think like.

05:47So I'm not saying early in Shaq's career when he would run.

05:52Right. But I'm talking about middle Laker Shaq

05:57where he was wrong, but he was much bigger.

05:58He was. But that was the most dominant Shaq.

06:00Like that was that was that run of teams was ridiculous.

06:04Yeah, but that was bigs played in the paint era.

06:08I think he would have done fine, dude.

06:10No, I'm not saying he wouldn't have defined.

06:12I'm just saying basketball is different now in that Shaq.

06:16They would pull Shaq out to the perimeter

06:19and make him have to guard guys out on the perimeter.

06:25Take a break here on the show.

06:27Congratulations to Alexander Ovechkin.

06:29We celebrated you like nobody else could.
