Jason Spezza: 19 years in the league, no fines/suspensions...first suspension 6 games Jamie Benn: 4 fines "no significant history" 2 game suspension. NOT A LEAGUEEEEEEEEEEE

Jack Eichel got us Alex Tuch, Peyton Krebs and Jordan Greenway (by trading the a pick acquired in the trade). Ryan O'Reilly got us Tage Thompson. Sam Reinhart got us Devon Levi and Jiri Kulich. We are in fact doing just fine.

Love the Pod, don't miss an episode but, Sutter and CGY "Parted Way" in early May. Thanks for the content

Adam saying the whole point of sports is to have hope then have it dashed made me laugh way more than it should have lol

The Flames absolutely fired Sutter.

Adam before the playoffs: We need to keep this show on a tight schedule. Adam during the playoffs: Never mind. Adam after the show: Wait, they do make booger vacuums?

"Don't you hate it when your boogers freeze?" - Calvin & Hobbes

Gents, I listen to every pod, and I have to say I am a full 100% fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. All this to say, I don't think you should be picking sides between any of the management of the Leafs. All your comments today just make me believe that you think Shanahan is the bad guy, and Dubas is the good guy, and there seems to be no middle ground. I really don't care who is right or who is wrong in this, I just want my team to win.

Sutter is not the coach guys... it's been a few weeks lol

35:33 Adam tell me you haven’t watched the Stars since 2016 w/o telling me. Seguin the best player on the team and Benn is the 2nd best.🤣

This never-ending focus on and obsession with betting is getting to be a bit much...

Respectfully, Eichel ain’t in that tier yet, the regular season numbers aren’t anywhere close enough

Florida’s biggest problem is arena location. BB&T Arena is so far out of the major areas of the Miami market. It’s literally the last bit of civilization headed west, through the Everglades until Naples on the Gulf Coast.

Guys second pod in a row im commenting this ! Sutter got fired three weeks ago! I keep yelling st you through the screen but you can't hear me.

Absolutely crying laughing at Adam's face at 25:42 lmao

Eichel isn't even a point per game player anymore (yes he's barely managing it these playoffs), people don't talk about him on the same level as the superstars of the league because he's not on the same level.

Commence the weekend with Steven Dangle, Jesse Blake and Adam Wylde. There needs to be more live eating of Pizza Nova pizza and wings on the pod going forward.

Steve new haircut looks like he has a beaver tail on his head😂

That was the best spur of the moment decision I’ve ever made. Only cost me $150 for the tickets plus the towing fee but that game was unreal

All I want out of these playoffs is as many games as possible filled with as many goals as possible. I'm definitely on the Panther hype train though. Tkachuk and Bob have been on superstar mode

Darry has been fired for weeks. Why do they keep getting this news wrong. it throws all their credibility out the window. And I like these guys!

Let's not forget, Bunting got 3 games despite having no history of suspensions... Meanwhile since then we've had broken necks on hits from behind, brutal headshots, multiple intentional attempts to injure players, etc... Seriously, I don't think Bunting's hit would make it into the "Top 5 Dirty Plays of the Playoffs" video and I'm not even convinced he'd make the dishonorable mentions for it either.

So, when the SDPN crew says Dubas did a good job they actually mean Shanahan because Shanny is/was the GM, right ? Asking for a friend. Dubas is THE greatest GM ever and only one to ever have any out of the box ideas.

This was such a great convo. Ryan, your review of how Shanahan runs the show is so clear on point. loved the whole convo.

PERFECT Timing - Trying to Make it to 5:00PM and this just made it Way Easier !!!!! SDPN 4L

Eichel requested a trade before the surgery was even an issue lol

On the Sabres: throughout that conversation, as you list the names that Sabres GM’s surrounded Eichel with, it became clear that it wasn’t on the management. The culture was horrendous. Jack Eichel requesting a trade before being demanding the C is clearly direct reason for that. It wasn’t about the players surrounding Eichel, it was the type of person he was in Buffalo. He needed to leave Buffalo to mature. Buffalo needed to get rid of him to rid the locker room of toxicity.

This is the second pod in a row they mentioned this - do they not know that Sutter was fired???

The core 4 is over paid, based on playoff results. If the top 3 made the same as Nylander, they contend for the cup.

28:51 I love how Adam calms Steve down by making the joke here. This is why this pod works so damn well

Eichel is fast, but he conserves energy until he needs the speed. Rests then exerts at the opportunistic time to as the other team turns over the puck.

This is like the third or fourth Pod ya'll have said Sutter is still the coach, he got fired like a few days after Treliving quit and y'all did a segment on it when it happened

Adam: thinks Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin are the 2 best players on the stars. No one's expecting you to know everything but your knowledge can't be 5 years outdated if you're going to have an opinion on the stars.

Just sat down with my coffee to enjoy the first 2 mins of BOOGER TALK 😂😂

Guys…SUTTER HAS BEEN FIRED FROM THE FLAMES FOR WEEKS!! You guys even reacted to it!!!!

Are you actually serious talking about not understanding why the disq of Bunting was the longest?!?!?! Really, Steve?! Maybe, just maybe because Cernak was out of the playoffs because of that hit??!!

"The Hurricanes will crush the Panthers" - Jesse Blake

"there are no adults". for the first time in sdpn history, you make sense :)

Jesse, if you say LA has two baseball teams, then they have two hockey teams because the Angels and Ducks both play in Anaheim.

Ive never enjoyed listening to three people talk so much and i have a wife and 3 kids. Keep it up! 😂

Missasauga Pass On The Rights! I recently drove the 401 coming in from London - I was in the centre lane going 10 over - and I got passed more on the right than the left. What the hell?

For the second episode in a row boys, Sutter was already fired in early May. You did a whole 10 minute segment on it lol.

Adam calling Bill Peters a curmudgeon has made my day 😂 great word choice haha

Jesse: 'this is written down by the nhl and you can't do it!' Also jesse: 'we need clarity on the rule.' You don't know the rule.

The western conference accepts your apology for calling them weak ALL season. The team coming out of the eastern conference barely finished ahead of the 11th place team in the west. Just because your asleep when it happens doesnt mean the west doesnt play good hockey.

What a great way to end the day, SDP is always good

Darryl Sutter ain't Calgary's coach, brothers.

steve you’re so right, woodbridge driving is crazy

I like when Steve is explaining how there are no adults after opening the show with what’s up his nose and how to get it out.

These guys are entertaining but man do they have so many bad hockey takes lol.

love the cold open

Islanders' IT guy: *frantically looking for a different colored phone cable*

You know, I'm for another team in Toronto so we can have 2 teams that can't make it past the second round

My question now is, does the joke of always claiming waiver players move to Pittsburgh with Dubas or is that a Toronto specific joke and will keep on going with the new GM?

Jessie hasn't seen that SNL skit. Lol!

Love that little intro

Love this show!!

Steve’s intensity has gone up by 10 since Leafs got eliminated😂

Love this episode, learning how it work in real life with children

I disagree about Eichel. Not the part about him being right about controlling his health (I think most fan were ok about that even in the moment tbh), but I think it's disingenuous to say that fans are disrespecting him and that he should be view among the best of the league. Eichel is a great player, but his best season ever was 82pts, that's just not in the same galaxy as the 100pts guys that Jesse was mentioning. On top of that Eichel because of injuries have yet to reach a 70pts or a 30goal season in the last 3 season. Obviously he won't be at the forefront of the discussion about the best players. Respect come after the great performance, not before. Eichel will get back his hockey respect of 4 years ago, but he need a bit more time, he just got back to form.

If 4 fines aren't significant, I'm calling my car insurance agent asap.

Anytime Steve gets a laugh, he buries the joke in the ground by using it twenty more times.

Speaking of boogers, you ever get those boogers that feel like they're wrapped around your brain? The ones that you pull out and it feels sooooo good?

MSL will never allow a Pro team that takes away from their money path

Love the Steve cold open to the show LOL

Woodbridge native here and steve is totally right at 9:00 nobody can drive here

The points that Steve's making about officiating are completely valid. However, when you blame the refs for your team getting embarrassed in the playoffs when every team deals with the bad officiating, you're whining. It shouldn't be that difficult for him to understand.

On Dallas' arena... did they not watch game 3? Half the arena left half way through the second, and the ones who stayed threw trash on the ice and dumped popcorn on Hill...

The Leafs situation is a soap opera, jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces,, and black box all at the same time.

No one tell Jesse about New York...

Binnington STEALING a game 7 on the road for a cup has gotta be worth SOMETHING

Y’all need to do a drinking episode. That would be the greatest hockey content ever.

I'm so tired of the it's all Justin Holl's fault scapegoat bit. Without Holl the Leafs were incapable of retrieving a puck. What cost the Leafs was the refusal to get in front of the net in front of the goaltenders face and the core not scoring. None of that has to do with Holl. Justin Holl didn't destroy their playoff hopes, the forward group did that because they forgot how to play hockey.

They really want to forget the habs run to the final and how Price was dominante.

You guys keep putting it on Shanahan (saying he made an emotional decision) to fire Dubas. It could be the opposite. When no one knew who Dubas was, Shanahan took a chance on him and made him GM of the Marlies. After some success, he was made AGM of the Leafs. When the time to pick the GM came around, many wanted to keep Lou or promote Hunter, but Shanny picked Dubas. Over the last few years, everyone kept saying to get rid of Dubas, but he didn't. It's quite likely the board wanted to get rid of him too, but like every time before this, Shanny backed his guy. Then the press conference happened and the guy you've stuck your neck out for the past 9 years says he might not want to come back now. Then he has his agent come to you a few days later asking for full autonomy and 50% more money than what was originally going to be offered (which was already double what he was being paid). Then we also hear Dubas was trying to get Shanahan removed from Hockey Operations. The guy Shanny supported and backed for nine years played games and betrayed him. I don't blame Shanny for firing him. Dubas was trying to portray himself as some highly successful GM that won 2 cups, a finals and a couple of deep runs in the 5 years he was GM. They got lucky to beat Tampa this year for their first playoff round win in 19 years. They outplayed Tampa in 1 game and made a nice comeback in another. They got spanked in the 2nd round vs Florida. The team is built wrong. Too many chefs, not enough line cooks, servers, waiters, busboys and dishwashers. It takes a team to win a cup, the Leafs have a collection of really good individuals. Whichever GM candidate can figure out how to re-sign Matthews and Marner to reasonable contracts and trade Nylander and Tavares is who you should hire. You can't win with those four. Not enough money to fill the roster with other quality players to complement them.

Giovanni Smith is actually sick

Also darryl sutter was fired.

If Mississauga got an NHL franchise, they should pick a name that reflects something of the character or history of the city. Like, "The Mississauga Real Estate Developers" or "The Mississauga Vanillas".

My team was one of the first to be out of the playoff race this season. And I gotta say, I agree that playoff hockey is just awesome. It's been so nice to just watch without any specific cheering and just enjoy hockey. I mean, I am anti-vegas, but even those games are just good, fun to watch games.

He isn’t coming to Pittsburgh. He’s apparently holding out for Ottawa

Guys…. Darell Sutter was fired 3 weeks ago! 😂

Dallas also just goes out in all games. That arena is always loud no matter what. I love going to games there. I'm not a huge fan of the Stars but I LOVE going there.

"When he bends the rules in Pittsburgh, they're going to be up your ass." I look forward to finding out if this is true or not, or if it's literally because, well, the Leafs.

4 fines over 14 NHL seasons, 1030 games - isn't significant history.

The first time I drove in Montreal is at midnight after driving 12 hours from Nova Scotia when moving to Ottawa. It was the middle of a snow storm. I hated my life. Montreal is the worst for their roads

Your guys love for dubas is unexplainable unless you're having family dinners with him

56:00 In 07-08 Hasek started the playoffs, was shaky/bad, and after 4 games Osgood came in, had a .930 & 1.55 gaa in 18 games as the Wings won the Cup

Florida - where 90% of old Canadian hockey players currently have a condo. 👍🏻👍🏻

Yeah William Karlsson was great blue jacket, and is a great NHL'r awsome to see him have great success in his career.

Btw, for a lot of these southern markets (dallas,Carolina,fla) people are used to the atmosphere of college football which is by far the predominant sport here. Those fans are wild its just a matter of getting them to care about hockey but if you can get them in there they will blow your arena up.

Adam, that's always Tim Murray's face. He only has the one expression.

As a Californian, the kings and the ducks are really only about an hour apart

Both Steve and Jesse are right. Anaheim is close enough to LA that it's pretty much like having two local NHL teams BUT Anaheim is not a part of LA county at all and would never be considered as such.

Traffic problems: you guys have never been to Cairo, eh?

There are no adults - you realize everyone was winging it and you need to wing it too! 😅

I feel like the arenas being full in the conference finals was expected, when teams are good people show up. I'm curious to see the TV numbers because not only are they less popular teams, but both series have not been that interesting, sure games have been close but like both had 3-0 leads and its always better when its competitive.

Spot on about Benn's goofy late 1990s facial hair

Please never do booger talk again

The Mississauga Suburban Hellscapes

You know a new 2nd team in Toronto area would win a cup before the Leafs right?
