Hey there, Drinks and Things family, we're back with another laughter-filled episode! Remember that time we went to a Jonas Brothers concert? Relive that experience with us as we reminisce about a recent market visit and how our music preferences have evolved over the years. Let's talk about Panic at the Disco and their incredible evolution as a band. What's your take on it?
We've got some hilarious anecdotes up our sleeves. Ever heard about a cat that snores and sneezes in people's faces while they sleep? We'll fill you in. And how about painting the toenails of newborn triplets to tell them apart? We may also touch upon something that's been bothering us – student loans. Even as we navigate these life complexities, we've found solace in therapy sessions. And oh, did we mention our light-hearted plan to have our future kids born in Manitoba? Sounds crazy, right?
Now, let's switch to the hockey rink. It's been a roller-coaster ride for the Edmonton Oilers and we've got a lot to say about it. We're also discussing our preference for the Calgary Flames during the regular season. And we've got some thoughts on the Vancouver Canucks and Winnipeg Jets. Despite the ups and downs, we're placing our bets on Connor McDavid as a strong contender for the MVP. What's your prediction? Tune in for all this and more on episode 37 of Drinks and Things. Grab your Vizzy lemonade, sit back and enjoy the ride!

Hello and welcome to episode 37 of Drinks and Things.
Speaker 2A podcast where we drink and talk about things.
Speaker 1I'm Leisha.
Speaker 2And I'm Carver.
Speaker 1What are you drinking, carver?
Speaker 2I'm drinking a Vizie lemonade. Leisha, what are you drinking?
Speaker 1I am also drinking a Vizie lemonade, but ours are different. Mine is a watermelon.
Speaker 2Mine is raspberry. I don't need to tell you what it's like because I already know it's good. Yeah, it's ready. Three of these like 45 times.
Speaker 1Yeah, they're pretty good. Wow Hi, it's been a while.
Speaker 2It's been a good while.
Speaker 1Sorry, my life fell apart because of me.
Speaker 2Is that what happened I?
Speaker 1don't know. I feel like that's what happened, but that's just because I had a breakdown recently.
Speaker 2No, you just did like massive, this massive, what's it called? What's the word Market? And you were like just going ham sauce on that all the time.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And we made a decision We'll just hold off on the podcast for now. You need to do this because it was like a big market you were going to.
Speaker 1I saw about a thousand people.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1Like over the course of the weekend, and it was a lot, so I was going pretty hard on making things like Christmas cards and paintings and trying not to lose my fucking mind, so we kind of took a little break.
Speaker 2We're like half ass streaming at the time.
Speaker 1Yeah, we're just doing not a lot. The main reason that we didn't release an episode the last time like the very first time that we missed an episode because we had to suddenly go to Kamloops- that's true. And then we're like, oh, oops.
Speaker 2Yeah, I had to go rescue my brother with his truck because he knows nothing about vehicles, but that's okay, because I can make him come here and work on our house next.
Speaker 1Well, car is in your name, yeah yeah. So we had to go to Kamloops. We'll just give you like a recap of the last couple of months of our lives. We had to go to Kamloops and then we and you did a market, I did a market. I did a market. I went to the city for like a week and I hated every minute of it.
Speaker 2Yeah, and you went to the Jonas Brothers.
Speaker 1And I did go to the Jonas Brothers. I had to leave about 20 minutes before the concert got out.
Speaker 2Yeah, you guys are having a rough time. After a while I was like chilling in the hotel room just by myself vibing, and you're like come and get me. And I'm like I'm not ready yet, I'm not done laying down and doing nothing yet.
Speaker 1Yeah, I felt so sick and just like being in the room, like you could not hear the Jonas Brothers saying over the screams.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think I said that was a pretty awful concert for that.
Speaker 1It was like it was a good concert. They're good.
Speaker 2Well it's. The problem was not the artist, yeah, the environment, it was the fans. That's what I understand.
Speaker 1The environment was just like not not Gucci you said, all you could hear is just screaming girls. And the girl beside me knew every single word to every single song, even songs I don't even know.
Speaker 2Yeah, you've never been like a Jonas Brothers mega fan.
Speaker 1Yeah, I was not a mega fan.
Speaker 2I was just like, oh my.
Speaker 1God, I'm going to marry.
Speaker 2Nick, you were never like breathe and sleep. Jonas Brothers, you've never been that kind of that kind Like I am with Fallow Boy yeah. That's exactly what I mean.
Speaker 1Like I am with Fallow Boy City and Color and Hail Store you know, now that I think about it.
Speaker 2I don't remember you listening to Jonas Brothers at all.
Speaker 1Oh.
Speaker 2When we were like in high school.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's because I didn't have an iPod, I didn't have my own library.
Speaker 2Remember, I got that iPod that you listened to and I told you to tell me what you wanted and I put everything you told me that you wanted on there.
Speaker 1Yeah, but the thing is, and you never want to ask me for Jonas Brothers. Okay, because I was too embarrassed to say that I like the Jonas Brothers, because I was too cool for that.
Speaker 2Oh it was, you were a punk girl.
Speaker 1Yeah, you weren't. I wanted to impress you by, like, not putting the Jonas Brothers on there.
Speaker 2Yeah, but you listen to other music. I hate like fucking Panic at the Disco.
Speaker 1Panic at the Disco is not that bad.
Speaker 2I hate Panic at the Disco. You know that song about closing the door.
Speaker 1I never played that song around you.
Speaker 2You played it every day when we were in high school. You played it every day, I know, but I don't play it and I hated it so much I don't play it around you anymore. Good.
Speaker 1I actively avoid that song.
Speaker 2Yes, thank you. But yeah, like that is probably one of my least favorite songs of all time. When I hear it, I see red. I hate that song.
Speaker 1To be fair, I don't even like that song anymore.
Speaker 2There was a lot of songs you listened to and they were fine. Other songs you listened to just as much and they were fine. It's just that song in particular. I hate it. I hate it so much.
Speaker 1But to be fair, I don't listen to it much anymore on my own.
Speaker 2I don't think you listen to that song. You listen to some Panic at the Disco but it's not that awful song.
Speaker 1Yeah, but it's like their newer stuff.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's not that awful terrible.
Speaker 1It's now more like less absurd.
Speaker 2Well, it makes real music now. It doesn't make quirky music for fucking Tumblr users.
Speaker 1He makes real music. That's what I mean. It's like it's different now. It's not as absurd. Half the shit that they said in their pretty odd album.
Speaker 2The issue wasn't that it was absurd. The issue is that it sucked. Okay, because follow up boys.
Speaker 1just as absurd, followboy wasn't just a favorite and their music doesn't suck. Followboy has a song that it said. Our lawyer told us to change the name of this song so that we don't get sued.
Speaker 2Yeah, like it's not that. It was absurd. It said it sucked and his music doesn't suck anymore.
Speaker 1Although, okay, what is the longest title of a song you can remember?
Speaker 2It's coming to mind as like the devil went down to Georgia.
Speaker 1Do you want to hear mine? No, sure. You be the anchor that keeps my feet on the ground and I'll be the wings that keep your heart in the clouds.
Speaker 2Not as long as I thought it would be Do you know who it's by. Who.
Speaker 1Mayday Parade.
Speaker 2Mayday Parade was okay.
Speaker 1Mayday Parade was. No, you hated them, did I? Yeah, your like. His voice gives me a headache.
Speaker 2Who is the? Am I thinking of a different band?
Speaker 1I think you think you give a different band.
Speaker 2I think I am. I'm thinking of, not Mayday Parade. Who's that other one? Fuck, now I gotta look it up. It's on the tip of my tongue.
Speaker 1Mayday Parade City in color.
Speaker 2No, no, there's not who I'm thinking. It's another pop punk band.
Speaker 1Oh, Maroon 5?.
Speaker 2No, all time low.
Speaker 1Ew.
Speaker 2That's something.
Speaker 1I don't listen to them anymore.
Speaker 2I don't think you never really listen to them. Back then you listen to the one song. Yeah, and it is an all right song.
Speaker 1The Backseat Serenade one the like Backseat Serenade.
Speaker 2No, not that one.
Speaker 1Oh, that's the only one I know. Ah, we're googling things friends.
Speaker 2Favorite drive. No, that's not what I'm thinking of.
Speaker 1Favorite drive.
Speaker 2Karate High School no.
Speaker 1I don't even know what Karate High School is.
Speaker 2I mean either Jimmy Eat World is that a pop punk band? Yes, huh, I thought they were just like a normal alternative band.
Speaker 1I don't know, could be a lot of things.
Speaker 2I just know that they were on a lot of NHL soundtracks back in the day.
Speaker 1I like Jimmy Eat World, except for they're considered classic rock now.
Speaker 2Yeah, they play them on classic rock stations.
Speaker 1That and like, like in Park, like in.
Speaker 2Park. Well, every band that's that old is now classic rock. That's the truth.
Speaker 1Makes you feel old, don't it? Anyway, I went to the Jones Brothers. I slept over at my friend's house. He has a cat. I suffered because the cat liked to sleep near my face.
Speaker 2And you and cats don't get along on a biological level.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'm so allergic it's not even funny. Like I love cats, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2And Boris, that's probably why we don't have one. If you weren't allergic, we would.
Speaker 1Yeah, like Boris is an angel. He is such a sweet kitty, but my body physically rejects cats, so no cats. So no cats I like. I have to like pop so many anti histamines to just be able to breathe normally.
Speaker 2Yeah, and Boris is one of those cats. That's like I'm asleep on your face now.
Speaker 1Like Zelda, when I, when I babysat for one of my friend's cats, the cat just literally like to sleep right here. That was their spot. It was like right above your head when you're sleeping.
Speaker 2So it's like the spot for half of cats I've noticed.
My Aunt's Cat and Random Conversations
Speaker 1And I like don't enjoy that because, like as much as I love Zelda, I was just like, can you please know what? My aunt had a cat snored.
Speaker 2My aunt had a cat named I think it was Monty, and she lived on a farm, so all the cats were outside except for this one cat, because it had. It had some kind of problem breathing, like it was always stuffed up, like he always had, like you know, boogers hanging out of his nose. He's like, he's like. He's like that, that little fucking kid in Wind Waker running around with the big bubble hanging out of his nose. You pretty much you probably don't know who I'm talking about, but people who know will know.
Speaker 2Anyway, that's, that was the cat. And what it would do is when you were over there sleeping at her house, and if you were the one on the couch, it would like, like, as you're sleeping, it would just get right up in your face like sleep on your chest, okay, whatever, but it would like look at you and like what and like. This never happened to me, it happened to, I think, my brother. It was just looking at him and he wakes up and it just fucking sneezes in his face. And it's just cats, not all over.
Speaker 1Is this the one that's allergic to cats?
Speaker 2No, I don't think so. I don't think he ever stayed at my auntie's house because of the cat.
Speaker 1Oh, because one of Carver's brothers and I have the same problem.
Speaker 2Yeah, except he's way more allergic than you.
Speaker 1I know and I'm pretty bad.
Speaker 2Like he will die. If he's around a cat for more than a few hours, it's pretty bad. And I'm pretty bad that's but he yeah, well, he has asthma too. That's the thing. He's allergic and he has asthma. So that's probably the big difference.
Speaker 1I don't have asthma. Yeah, exactly, but my lungs are not full of cobwebs.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1That's what I imagine asthma feels like.
Speaker 2Probably, probably.
Speaker 1So I had this market. I slept over at a friend's house. That was a lovely. I got to hold two out of the three girls that my best friend had. I cried. They literally shoved a baby in my arms less than two minutes into coming to see me at the market and I was like sitting there just like they're like here you go, and I'm like sitting there holding the baby and I was just like like. I immediately texted Carver I want babies.
Speaker 1I'm just like I know gave me such bad baby fever. Oh my god.
Speaker 2And you go to her house and she's like she's like my life, yeah, which you can't really blame her with fucking triplets.
Speaker 1I get snapchats all the time of all three of them just screaming their faces off.
Speaker 2Yeah, because she's. You know, she's there alone because her husband is working.
Speaker 1They have a nanny.
Speaker 2Oh, do they? Oh, I was under the impression she was always alone with them.
Speaker 1No, no, they take shifts and the nanny fills in the gap.
Speaker 2Gotcha.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Gotcha Makes sense.
Speaker 1Yeah, apparently, she's very lovely.
Speaker 2I'd hope so. Yes, I wouldn't the girls, I wouldn't you know, pay for a sour, oh and I found out.
Speaker 1It's so cute. My best friend paints their toes so they can tell them apart. So people who don't spend a lot of time with them can tell them apart.
Speaker 2Makes sense Because they can tell them apart, no problem, I mean you could just like mark, you know, an O on one with some Sharpie and X on the other one's forehead and then a check mark on the other one's forehead.
Speaker 1But that's more cute, I guess. Yeah, she just paints their little tiny toenails and they're so cute. They have small feets.
Speaker 2Well, yeah, they're babies.
Speaker 1I had my last market today of the year. Of the day Of the year.
Speaker 2Of the entire year.
Speaker 1Of the entire year.
Speaker 2This is the last, and that's not just a joke till the end of December oh yeah, it's a year. No, like you actually don't have a market now until Until the next time Like. May or something right. Yeah, that's when they start up again.
Speaker 1They started like April, april, mayish, so I don't have another market planned for a while. I tried and failed multiple times to get to school.
Speaker 2Yeah, student loans suck.
Speaker 1Yeah, student loans suck, bureaucracy sucks, fuck the system.
Speaker 2And now we're. Now you're just going to get like a job.
Speaker 1Now I have to get another job.
Speaker 2Thanks, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna try and pay as many bills as I can. You're just gonna save like over half of what you make. That's how you're gonna pay for school now, because student loans aren't gonna fucking work.
Speaker 1Yeah, apparently. Oh, I'm also gonna try to get my MET card. I've been going to therapy. Anyway, my therapist and I are working on it, because my therapist is not pressuring me into doing it, because I will not do it if people continue to pressure me into it. I mean, it's a it's a matter of okay. This is the reason my therapist and I are doing it is because it's a matter of my perception of my identity.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1So if I'm being pressured into getting my my card, um, it's like they're pressuring me into the culture that I'm not ready to be a part of yet, you know.
Speaker 2I just don't understand how your brain works sometimes.
Speaker 1My brain sucks.
Speaker 2I don't, I don't, I don't get your logic at all, to be honest with you, but you know what I'll let you have that do it when you need to do it. I don't really care, but do what you need to do, I don't think our kids can ever get one yeah. We'll go to Manitoba before they're born. It'll be fine, have them born in Manitoba Hospital and they'll have all the special Manitoba rights, which will mean nothing when we come back here. But that's okay.
Speaker 1I don't know how I feel about that.
Speaker 2No, it's a stupid fucking idea.
Speaker 1But just like honey, I'm in labor. Cool, we need to fly to Manitoba let's go.
Speaker 2We're gonna go fucking hard.
Speaker 1Just ask your boss to borrow his plane.
Speaker 2His plane wouldn't make it.
Speaker 1We need to get like uh uh, helicopter to Edmonton and a plane we need to plan when this baby will be born, so that we're at we're in Manitoba at the time, because you know this baby as if we're pregnant. We're not pregnant. This isn't our way of telling you. I promise it will be our way of telling you when it happens, though.
Speaker 2Yeah, we're gonna be as like cryptic as possible.
Speaker 1Yeah, we're just. It's gonna be cryptic, it's gonna be on our podcast, so that only people who listen to our podcast know that we're pregnant.
Speaker 2Yeah, anyway.
Speaker 1We won't tell anybody else. Anyway, we're gonna be in Winnipeg.
Speaker 2What? Why were you in Winnipeg I?
Speaker 1don't know if that's the closest airport that I can think of.
Speaker 2I have Brandon. Probably I'd rather go to Brandon Anyway.
Speaker 1I've done a lot of art. I got a sunlight lamp because the sunshine goes away way too fast. This has been 20 minutes of us having like fun. I feel like we're talking to like people that like we haven't talked to in forever and we're just trying to catch up.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1You know, yeah. Sorry, we're being so laid back and stuff like it's why it's been a week.
Speaker 2Why do you think they care?
Speaker 1They didn't care, they wouldn't be listening.
Speaker 2Yeah, exactly, I'm not sorry at all, to be clear. I'm not sorry, alicia, I'm not.
Speaker 1Life has been fun lately yes. I had a mental breakdown over my lizard.
Speaker 2Yeah, that was weird.
Speaker 1My friends are concerned.
Speaker 2That was really fucking weird.
Speaker 1My friends think I should go on a stress leave.
Speaker 2From what I don't know. I don't know how you could go on a stress leave because you barely work.
Speaker 1I know.
Speaker 2Guess just just hang out and be a hermit who do nothing. Is that your stress? Leave I guess. So hanging out in my terrarium with my how is your routine even change At this point?
Speaker 1You just hang out with my daylight lamp in my little terrarium of a room actually, you know what that might help, because we just got your daylight lamp. Yeah.
Speaker 2So maybe that'll help. I Also made you go on a walk with me. Well, the Sun was out, so that should help too. Sun is not anymore. It goes down at like 430 Sucks. It's not even the shortest day of the year.
Speaker 1It's not even the shortest day of the year, yet.
Speaker 2We've got 10 more days, of days getting shorter not even. No, it's more than that.
Speaker 1It's 12.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's more than 10. You got 12 more days of this 11, 12, something like that. It's more than 20 first, and what's day the ninth? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 12 days I. Could do math 12 more days of Days getting shorter.
Speaker 1Shorter, and then after that we're over the hump.
Speaker 2By the way, the Sun doesn't come up until like 830 either, so it's like up at 830, down at 430 not even. That's about right. It's like 420 now it will be 420 by like the 21st of December I.
Speaker 1Wonder what time the sunset today? It is currently negative five, that's not sunset was at 435 this afternoon.
Speaker 2Hooray.
Speaker 1And it is pretty much a new moon new moon it's like I like new moon Ewwoo, ewwoo. It's at illumination 10%.
Speaker 2What the fuck does that mean? It's only illuminated 10% oh, like the amount that you can actually see. Yeah, oh, gotcha yeah you know, it's funny when you can see the moon in the day, it's always a full moon.
Speaker 1That's a lie. I've seen it cross it man. I haven't, I have. Then again, I pay attention to the moon more than you do. It's funny, because you don't even know where the moon is. Half the time I'm like, hey, look at the moon and you're like looking like over here, like the moon will be in front of your face and you'll be like looking behind you.
Speaker 2I just look at it and I'm like what do you want, moon, go away, go home.
Speaker 1Oh, I need to be here right now. What happened for you oh. Well, that's basically my life.
Speaker 2Well, I've been going to work and playing hockey and that's more or less what's been happening. I was, I was working on my motorcycle when you came down. You're like we have to record and I was like okay, so I got on this hockey team. The team I was on last year is defunct at least it is for this year is. Is disbanded disbanded so I was like in a scramble to find another team.
Speaker 1When your cousin messages you like which one it was a joke like oh.
Speaker 2I, I would have gotten that if we weren't recording, but because he said that was like what, I threw me off anyway, yeah. So I joined the team and when I joined the team, they're like oh, you have to be okay with sharing the crease with a couple other guys. And I was like, yeah, that's all right, just don't make me play out. And he was like okay, and then I play my first game and I'm thinking, okay, well, I've got a, you know, I'll share now. And like no one else wants to play now. And Then, like a couple of games ago, I was like so when do I have to? Like let someone else play? And they're like, oh, you're just our full-time goalie now. We're not, we're not fucking playing, those fucking dumbasses now. But I guess those other guys like they play out to and goalie, they basically just swapped it out whenever. But yeah, I guess everyone's just decided hey, no, let carver take the net like somebody who's you know Capable Fucking.
Speaker 1Do this shit.
Speaker 2Well, someone who doesn't full-time, so I'm now the full-time goalie full-time goalie. And the team is called the moose moose. And it also appears that the If I'm still on this team, next year I'm gonna order a jersey with my name on it, which is cool.
Speaker 1Ooh, instead of what is it now Appleton?
Speaker 2No, appleton is a player on the Winnipeg Jets. Yeah, but yours says something similar says Applebee, although my other one's just a generic one without a name on it, so I prefer when we wear that one. We have a white and a blue Anyway. Anyway it's also cool because, like the new pads I got last year were blue and now my team like matches it.
Speaker 2Really hot and I'm like huh, never had matching pads with the team before, so I'm so you know that's an advantage of the team I'm on now and We've so far managed to tie one game.
Speaker 1I know you guys are so great I.
Speaker 2Think the only reason that game was tied is cuz like none of our really good players showed up for it. Like Our best goal scorer currently has issues, like he needs surgery or something, so he's understandably not able to play, and we're like seriously missing him because he's, like you know, really good at scoring goals and we just can't get any goals right now. But the tie was one one.
Speaker 1Have you won games yet?
Speaker 2No, not yet. Not yet, I'm sure we will. We have to win at least one or two games this year, though, because, like, when the team shows up and the Good guys show up, show up, the team is good. It's just the only time that those guys have showed up We've been also playing against like the best teams in the league.
Speaker 1Keep in mind, this is beer league.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1It's a shit show either way.
Speaker 2Yeah, you know, in Edmundton there's actually like a, b and C beer leagues and shit, like there's some pretty sick beer leagues in Edmundton Anyway.
Speaker 1Speaking of hockey. That's what we came here to talk to y'all about yes, that's what the episode's about 28 minutes in oops.
Hockey Teams' Performance and Analysis
Speaker 2It's. We needed another topic as well, and I guess we filled in the time anyway, so let's go.
Speaker 1All right? Um, okay, so the Oilers are doing better than they were.
Speaker 2Oh, fuck the Oiler. Okay, the Oilers is like a tale of two teams this year, like it was so painful, it was so bad.
Speaker 1They lose, was it?
Speaker 28-1 against Vancouver in the first game and it's like, well, that kind of sucks, okay. And then the second game, they lose again, although they they like heavily outplay Vancouver. But Vancouver's backup goalie becomes fucking Patrick Waugh Per a game although he's been pretty good, I guess and then they just lose, and they lose, and they lose, and they lose, and then, and at one point I'm like, why do I even fucking watch this team right now?
Speaker 1Everyone said the both me and my sister are like damn, we're gonna have to start cheering for another team.
Speaker 2Well, well, that's where the other half of this comes in, because now, now, like my favorite team is the Jets, not necessarily the Oilers, so I was. I was watching Jets games as well, and the Jets have actually been really fucking good this year. Oh like One of the best teams in the league levels of good, which is pretty amazing considering what was happening last year, when the whole team was imploding after the playoff.
Speaker 1Yeah, when the whole team basically just fucked off.
Speaker 2Well, yeah, last year Winnipeg had an issue with a lot of guys who like did not want to play in Winnipeg and it had seriously like affected the team's culture and really it's I don't know. It's like uh, like the team chemistry was all off and they kind of yeah, they weren't that great, but then they got rid of all the guys like Blake Wheeler and Pierre-Luc Dubois who wanted to, who wanted out of Winnipeg, got some pretty good returns for them. And this year they're like fuck, they're pretty good, like uh, like I said, one of the best teams in the league right now, the second best team in Canada, although I'm guessing they're probably going to overtake Vancouver at some point, because Vancouver slowed down a lot and they beat Colorado last night, which is like a pretty big deal, because Colorado is like a pretty dangerous team.
Speaker 1So I was like I don't know, I don't watch most of the games because hockey just stresses me out. Yeah, um, I get way too into it, you're way too attached, and it just I just get disappointed, it disappointed.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Because every time I seem to watch a Noether's game, uh, they lose. I've stopped watching.
Speaker 2Well, losing is one thing. The way Edmonton was losing at the beginning, though, was like so pathetic, like they just like the goalies couldn't save shit, they couldn't score, they, they, they start losing the game and they just lay down and die. You know that's what would happen. Oh my God, david and dry sidle were like Casper the friendly ghosts they're. You'd watch it and there'd be so many like Edmonton would have so many great A chances and they'd fucking miss the net. The puck would bounce like they had no puck luck. You're just watching this like their statistic. Up until last night, it's like they had six games where they score, where they shot over 40 shots, and every or no what it was is every game Edmonton got more than 40 shots. They lost, and they would like they'd lose and they'd shoot like twice or sometime, or I think at least one time three times as much the other team. They still fucking lose. And then, of course, they were. They lost the San Jose sharks.
Speaker 1That was rough.
Speaker 2Thankfully not the first team to lose the San Jose sharks, Although I would say in hindsight it's probably the best thing that could have happened. This is a bit of a wake up call, I think. It was like that because after they lost to San Jose. That's when they started coming back. They won the next game. Fire the head coach. Most people agree it wasn't the head coach's fault, but Whatever Anyway, so they do that, and ever since then they've been like pretty damn good Hell yeah.
Speaker 2They're almost back up to 500 and like 500 being winning percent. So they've won 11, lost 12 at this point. But until they lost to San Jose they had lost like seven in a row or something. That was so fucking bad. And then and McDavid was injured. He doesn't appear to be injured anymore because he's got like 20 points in nine games or something and thankfully Vancouver has started to Not be so good. Vancouver was like red hot at the beginning of the season, but they're there. They're not as good anymore. I don't know why, but they just can't seem to win as many games as they used to, which is good, because I hate Vancouver and I remember, uh, were we watching a Calgary versus Vancouver game.
Speaker 2Which one was that?
Speaker 1And I was like this is the first time I've ever cheered for the flames.
Speaker 2Oh, I always cheer for the flames in the regular season. I want both Edmonton and Calgary to do good so they face each other in the playoffs.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2It's the best thing. It's the best case scenario. I don't know why more people like people care so much about which team is better in the regular season. It's like I don't care about the regular season, I want to, I care about the playoffs. And if they play each other in the playoffs, that's just more entertaining for me. So I wouldn't I cheer for Calgary in the regular season. Vancouver I've just hated since 2011 for various reasons.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And yeah, she had. Edmonton is a.
Speaker 1On fire preferably.
Speaker 2I think they've won six in a row now. Yeah, maybe seven. It might be seven after last night, but, like geez, last night they looked like they were going to lose the game for a while. But they, you know, they seem to have this like resiliency. Now they can score goals again. Their, their defense is actually like showing up for the most part and Stuart Skinner is also remembered how to play, which is all you know, kind of coincided with Edmonton doing better. Hyman's got two hat tricks this season now and I think half of his goals are assisted by McDavid, so he's probably pretty happy he's playing with him right now, because he's like man. If I play with him he just gets me the puck and I just fucking fired into the net. Call it good, call it great. And I think Hyman's actually got the most goals for the Oilers right now. They usually got more goals than dry-side.
Speaker 1Good job.
Speaker 2Yeah, winnipeg has just been consistently good. Like beginning of the season was interesting because their goalies really weren't playing that well which is usually one of Winnipeg's best performers but like once, uh once, hellebuck started playing like himself again. It's like they're they've just been like a really solid team and they've beat some really good teams and they've been I think they're on their own like four or five game winning streak. Now See how things are looking pretty good for our teams.
Speaker 1Let's talk about the Las Vegas Golden Knights, though. Why? Because they're the top of the Pacific Division right now. Yeah, they're doing pretty fucking good.
Speaker 2Well, you'd hope so they just won the cup. Yeah, They've been well. Vegas is weird because they they were amazing at the beginning of the season, but they've been like having trouble lately, like a lot of trouble lately, Like all of a sudden they can't score goals anymore and they've been losing a lot of games.
Speaker 1Yeah, let's talk about how fucking the Blackhawks, who are the bottom of the Central Division right now in the Western Conference, yeah, and they acquired the hottest draft pick of the year.
Speaker 2Several years since McDavid, yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, like they're doing pretty bad.
Speaker 2Well, yeah, they only have one fucking player right now and it's called her Bidard and he's now Conor. Baddard is actually doing pretty fucking amazing because he has no support whatsoever on the Blackhawks, Like none. Taylor Hall got injured and he's just by himself and he's still like. He's like putting up highlight real goals and shit Like a few. Get his first couple of games. You know he's getting used to the NHL a bit shaky, but now he's got his swagger and he's just Been a fucking menace. But he's the only guy on that fucking team.
Speaker 2And then there's the Cory Perry thing with the Blackhawks, which was. I mean, the memes were funny.
Speaker 1What happened with that? I saw that.
Speaker 2Okay, so the meme, the meme is the meme. Cory Perry slept with Conor Baddard's mom. Oh my god and that was the rumor and people were making fun of it. It's not true. It's not true at all, but it's just, I mean, kind of funny.
Speaker 1Isn't that his head coach?
Speaker 2No, Cory Perry's like one of the was one of the big stars on the Blackhawks for a long time.
Speaker 2He's like a veteran player. I think he's almost 40 years old, so so the joke was he slept with Conor Baddard's mom and that's why he's off the team. But Uh no, that's not what happened. That is not what happened. Um, he's off for another reason. I don't think they've ever released the reason. This will make yet another. This is yet another Blackhawks controversy not as not as serious as the last one, but Still pretty bad. And now a lot of people are speculating Conor Baddard is probably going to try and get out of Chicago because that team's Culture is still so fucked up.
Speaker 1But yeah the Bruins, the Maple Leafs. They're saving some lives this year.
Speaker 2What do you mean?
Speaker 1They're fourth in the Atlantic Division.
Speaker 2It's not good for for them.
Speaker 1That's better than not.
Speaker 2Toronto is the same issue as Edmonton. They they're like all offense and nothing else, Although Edmonton's been turning it around and I haven't watched much Toronto.
Speaker 2But Other people are complaining about more points than the Oilers do well, yeah, but they never had like an awful start the way the Oilers did. They've sort of just been consistently mediocre Like they never. They they've never been as bad as the Oilers were, but, as my understanding is, they've never been as good as the Oilers are right now either. Mother team is kind of has a lot of the same issues.
Speaker 1Well, if they make it to the playoffs, they'll be saving some lives.
Speaker 2The Bruins unfortunately seem to be on their way for another president's trophy. So Rip Bruins fans, I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 1Rip Bruins fans.
Speaker 2Although I personally want the Golden Knights to win the president's trophy. That would be the ideal scenario, in my opinion, but you know, boston wants to keep being good, despite losing all their good players every year. Boston's gonna suck, oh yeah, but they're going down this year. No, boston's one of the best teams again, okay. Well, what about the playoffs, which is really Boston's fucking problem?
Speaker 1They're like holy shit, we made it to the playoffs. And then they're like holy shit, we made it to the Playoffs. Please stop, oh my god.
Speaker 2They're like we made it to the playoffs, lost in the first round. Yay, the best team in hockey history losing the first round of the Florida Panthers. You know, like, like it happens, I mean Boston when Boston won the cup against Vancouver, the joke was that, uh, van Koen, it wasn't so much that Boston was better than Vancouver, it's that Vancouver out choked Boston, because Boston is like one of the worst playoff chokers Like ever and Vancouver is also one of the worst playoff chokers, at least that team back then was. So it was like oh, who's gonna lose it? And, yeah, vancouver out choked Boston, which at this point I'm happy happened.
Speaker 2At the time I really wanted Vancouver to win, but now In hindsight in hindsight I'm like nah, you know, they like, they fucking like the riot.
Speaker 1Yeah, they have a big riot. All the fans were like destroying cars and shit.
Speaker 2Yeah, and all the fans are douchebags and I hate them and yeah, anyway, anyway, yeah, this is the.
Speaker 1I don't think David might not get the. What is it called?
Speaker 2Which one?
Speaker 1Vezena.
Speaker 2No, he wouldn't get the Vezena not the best seeing as he's not a fucking goal.
Speaker 1Sorry, I don't remember their names.
Speaker 2Which one are you? He won a lot of trophies last year the, the the. Taylor, what's the trophy for?
Speaker 1the MVP.
Speaker 2Playoff at your MVP. Yeah, he might get that one.
Speaker 1What's it called?
Speaker 2Are you talking about MVP? Are you talking about the scoring one? Yeah, which one?
Speaker 1I don't know, he's just the best player in the NHL.
Speaker 2MVP. Yeah he could get the MVP. Actually, I could still see him getting the MVP, just because you know he was injured. Now, all of a sudden, he's.
Speaker 1Miraculously cured.
Speaker 2I mean, it took a while for him to become miraculously cured, but yeah, he's playing like himself again. No, he's probably not going to get the rocket, richard, although I wasn't expecting him to, because mcdavid's not really a goal scorer, he's more of a playmaker, you know. Hence hymen getting two hat tricks, pretty much all assisted by him. Not right now the uh, it seems like either austin matthews is going to get it. Weirdly enough, kyle Conner Is in that conversation, which I'm happy about.
Speaker 1But he thinks getting the besna.
Speaker 2Aidan hill.
Speaker 1I would think it'd be hella buck again.
Speaker 2No, I don't think it's going to be hella buck this year, because, while I still think he's the best goalie in the league, typically goalies that play on Not as good a teams don't win it because their numbers aren't so insanely high.
Speaker 2But you know, it's fine. It's all right, though, because Aidan hill is like, probably, if he keeps it up and he keeps playing like this, because he was like amazing in the playoffs, a lot of people thought, well, he's going to go back to earth in the Next season, because oftentimes what happens is guys just going runs in the playoffs Doesn't seem to be the case. It seems to be that Aidan hill is the real deal now and Just working in Vegas, which is good, because they're like no good Canadian goalies in the NHL right now. So we could really use one if best on best tournament happens again. So I'm happy, hell yeah. Actually, most of the guys that I figured would win it, like you see, sarah O'Cerlea, sorokin have been struggling and Shisterkin hasn't been putting up as good a numbers as quick in New York, which is really surprising. But yeah, leon, dry saddle still, babe. Oh yeah, he scored a really nice goal.
Speaker 1Last night actually he scored a really nice goal last night.
Speaker 2He scored a really nice goal last night actually in his office classic. It's a classic dry saddle school.
Speaker 1Wow.
Speaker 2Nuge has been scoring goals too.
Speaker 1Nuge.
Speaker 2Yeah, why are you looking at me like that? Don't tell me you forgot about nudge.
Speaker 1I think that's it.
Speaker 2It's it for us, that's our update.
Speaker 1That's our update repainting Watching the NHL is painful.
Speaker 2Not anymore. It's been pretty good for me. It's been pretty good for me, especially because the Oilers actually started winning.
Speaker 1Yeah, keep it up, mc David. All right, bye, bye you.
