And then later in the game, delivered a check on Ryan Reeves and just insult the injury there. Laying the hit and not fighting is just – I mean, that's – That's not cool. Now, there's a code. There's an unwritten rule here. And I would like to get somebody like Stu Grimson on the show. Stu Grimson right now is working for NHL Network. And he's a noted pugilist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
He knows what the fight game is about and what should happen in these situations. And we really should get him on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Roy missed the best part. Yeah, Roy missed the best part of all of this. At the time, by the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
That's why I was trying to get you. You didn't get to it. I thought you were letting us get to it. I thought you were letting us get to it. I'm supposed to be the host of this show, except I got kicked out of the goddamn studio by Rose.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Roy! That is karma, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
It doesn't end there because the very next game, the Canadiens played the Rangers and Arbor Jack guy had zero problem. Fighting Matt Rimpey. Now, as big as Rimpey is, and this is technically a mismatch in size. I mean, this is a heavyweight tilt, but Rimpey is tall and got some girth to him. Let's be honest. Rimpey is not a good fighter. Is he good at anything?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Yeah. And this clearly means, to me... That Jack Guy ducked Ryan Reeves.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Ryan Reeves was asked why Jack Guy ducked him in the Canadiens-Maple Leafs game. This is what you have to say.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Why are you taking your mouth shut?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Okay, get out of the studio. I'm done with this. Avery Lewis McDougal of the Hockey News, of Avery's Sports Show, and of the Third Intermission Podcast. He's going to talk about the Oilers and what's going on in the league coming up next. Get the f*** out of the studio.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Okay, we are joined by Avery Lewis McDougall. He is the host of Avery's Sports Show and the Third Intermission Podcast. He also writes for the Hockey News covering the Edmonton Earlers. And I am going to get started with what happened last week between Conor McDavid and also with Tyler Myers because they both got suspended for three games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Let's show the video of Conor McDavid's cross-check to the face for... of Conor Garland. This happened during the Oilers-Canucks game. As you can see, Conor Garland was hassling him a little bit. I mean, there was like three penalties for Conor Garland there. Holding, holding, holding, and then, oh! There's a cross check to the face by Conor McDavid, who was then tossed out of the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
And on the other side of the ice, well, not on the other side of the ice, for the other team, for the Canucks, Tyler Myers, Near the corner, ended up cross-checking Evan Bouchard in the face, much similar to Conor McDavid's cross-check. And yeah, both guys got suspended for three games. They will be back relatively soon. Now, the Edmonton Oilers... And this is just embarrassing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
In fact, Ethan thinks this is pretty much a big-time L, as he told me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Yeah, let's put the press release on the screen for Avery, and I'll read it out loud for audio. The Oilers organization is disappointed, and we share in our fans' frustration over the three-game suspension of our captain, Connor McDavid. We support him through this process and the organization, and our fans look forward to having him back in the lineup versus Seattle next week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
That's embarrassing. It's a little bit. That's embarrassing. Avery, you cover the Edmonton Oilers. I don't think you're going to have any bias in this situation. That was clearly a suspendable offense, even though he's most definitely not a 30 player. He was defending himself, but, you know, you got to do a better job than that. And the Edmonton Oilers press release.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
What do you think about what happened in that situation?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Yeah, that just seemed like, as far as Conor McDavid is concerned, that seems like some Sidney Crosby shit, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Dave, I don't think they're going to call penalties that late in the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Dude, quite frankly, and we've seen this, I don't think they're calling a penalty the entire period in the playoffs, let alone in that last-minute situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Avery, I think you're right. The officiating, at least this season, has been pretty lackluster. And in that situation, it was pretty lackluster as well. Obviously, you've got to give game misconduct to both McDavid and Tyler Myers, but I think you're pretty much calling for Russ McCauley's firing at this point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Avery, you covered the Oilers and we've all seen the disappointing start, but they have now scratched and clawed their way to a point out of the Pacific Division lead. Was there a switch that got flipped? What happened there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Before we close this out really quickly, and I might even add another Ola to the situation for the Hart Trophy this year, McKinnon, McDavid, or Dreisaitl? Someone else.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
I've got to ask Dreisaitl.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Hey, this is not the Dan Lovatard show. Why are we playing that sound?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Rose is just taking over today, for better or worse. Stewardess over here. Avery Lewis McDougal. Oh, my God. Avery's sports show and the third intermission podcast, and he covers the Oilers for the hockey show. Avery, thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Yes, we apologize for Rose. What the f***, man?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Okay, it's time to review what happened this week with the Florida Panthers. And what happened with the Florida Panthers is they went above .500.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Yes, that's exactly what happened. It started at home against the Anaheim Ducks. First half of a home-and-home series against them. Spencer Knight had 34 saves, got his ninth win in his second shutout. Of the season, he played very well, except in this situation, Sam Reinhardt got himself into a bit of trouble, very uncharacteristic hit by him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
He ended up banging knees with Isaac Litterstrom and got a knee and major in a game misconduct. That was that was pretty surprising. That's something that he doesn't usually do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
I don't understand how I'm able to be the motor considering I'm the goddamn executive producer of the show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Yeah, so his night ended in 16 minutes. So that was it for him. But the Panthers ended up winning 3-0. The Ducks ended their six-game road trip. losing three straight, going 1-4 in one day and not having a good season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
As you mentioned, no retribution for Sam Reinhardt from the league. No punishment from the league. And no retribution from the players because they know better.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Yeah. And we're talking about the second game of this home-and-home as the Panthers went to Anaheim. They won 5-2. And maybe they should have had some retribution because he ended up scoring in this game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Sergei Brodsky with 28 saves. And Carter Verhege loves, absolutely loves, playing against the Anaheim Ducks because he had a golden assist in this one and now has a point in 10 straight games against Anaheim.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Putting those lines in a blender, because for the majority of the season, we've seen on the second line Sam Bennett and Matthew Kachuk and flip-flopping of the other wing. Now we're seeing this combination of lines and... Obviously dealing with an injury, but hopefully, because they are, I mean, this has been a tough stretch for them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Hopefully we'll see them actually play well with what we're seeing right now on the ice.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Oh, this is going to be fun watching you try to do traffic here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Yeah, all right. So we saw Carter Verhage. We saw Sam Bennett score. Both of these players have been in slumps. And finally, hopefully, to be consistently playing well from here on out. But unfortunately, the entire team did not play well Wednesday at the Los Angeles Kings. That was an emotional game for the city of Los Angeles.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
We see the Kings are going to do a benefit hockey game with celebrities and alumni to benefit the firefighters and everybody out there affected. with the fires out there on the left coast. The Panthers had a 1-0 lead going into the third period. Now, normally, shut down city when the Panthers have a lead in the third period. That's not what happened here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
They gave up the lead in the third period, and it started with Smith tonight diving for a puck to try to cover and completely failing. And Samuel Heleneas... Got his first career goal. Good for him. Congratulations to him. Adrian Kempe with the game winner. And the Panthers are now 18-2-0 when leading after two periods.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Yeah, and they also scored first in this game. It's the sixth loss in 26 games which they scored first. Six losses in 26 games in which they scored first. I think it's the back-to-back games that's getting to them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
No, that's flipped. Flipped the other way around. Sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Yes, it is another back-to-back. I mean, too many. Too many back-to-backs, man. Now, the Panthers are playing the worst team in the league, San Jose Sharks, before sliding into Las Vegas to play the Vegas Golden Knights. The Sharks are coming off, as you said, blowing a 5-1 lead to lose 7-5 against the Nashville Predators. So that tells you what type of season that San Jose is having.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
It was just bad. Yeah. Don't make me remember these things, man. Like, we just want to stand the... I say we. I'm an unbiased journalist, even though I'm not a journalist at all. I don't have a degree in journalism. But I am very much supposed to be an unbiased professional. And yeah, I'm not supposed to say we in this situation, but we won the Stanley Cup last season. So that's that. Rose?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
I've not shied away from it. I've just not. I've been on the ice for Stanley Cup celebrations three times already.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
This is never happening again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
As far as a defenseman pushing the opponent into their own goaltenders, that's something that they should actually teach you. Well, there's no checking the mites, but they should absolutely teach you that in mites. You don't do that to your own goaltender. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Okay. How do you know that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Thank you, Rose. My hot take is let's never lose this. In the Maple Leafs-Blue Jackets game, we got ourselves an old-school tilt. Look at this. This is Ryan Reeves. This is the good stuff here. Finally, getting into his first fight of the season. Finally. Oh, yeah. Look at that right hand. This is against Matthew Olivier.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
No, well, that's mandated now. It's grandfathered in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
I'm with you. I don't get it. Protect your eyes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
You guys have hijacked my hot take. Like, legitimately hijacked the hot take. And you over here sitting in my seat. It sucks being on that side. Yeah, Rose hijacked your seat, man. Don't get mad at me. Bullshit, man. I'm not done. I'm not done. And as much as people over the past 20 years had wanted to get fighting out of the game, You can't. You absolutely can't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
100%. They need this in the sport. So the sport can never really fully get rid of fighting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Can you imagine all the stick work? Because, I mean, they're playing with dangerous objects out there. You get angry enough, you're going to see some swings out there. That's why fighting is out there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Well, Rose has to direct traffic.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Because it's interference.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
You're making yourself laugh over there. I don't understand. You interrupted his take for that. Let's move on. You want to move on? I'm sad now. All right. Hosts, please. Traffic. What's next, Rose?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Ukapeka lukanen. There you go. You make it sound like a Polynesian chant.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
See, I know. Okay, all right, next.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
My win of the week, this has sound. My win of the week comes from... Roy! Darren Pang Experience.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
See, all it takes is experience and bullshit. So come experience some of my bullshit. That's right. You can't experience experience until you experience the experience because when you experience the experience, the only thing... will be the experience of learning the experience. That will be experience. You are now experiencing the strength of hockey knowledge. Ethan?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
You don't have any experience.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
My cungalingas? What are you talking about?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Why? We speak English on this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Why are we showing basketball?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Also, the WNBA season has not started yet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
I want you to look behind you at that screen. What does it say?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
You want a hot cake? You want a hot cake?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Linguists. Yeah, whatever you said.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Hey, listen, I just repeated what I thought I heard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
That's what you were wanting to say. Stop turning your mic off. You're not Dan. Stop that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
You're the host here. Your mic is supposed to be on all times during the segment.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
Yeah, I'm watching it right now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: Get Off Rose's Plane
My fail of the week is coming from Auburn Jack Eye. And we're getting back to fighting here. During the Maple Leafs-Canadians game last week, Montreal got out to a 3-0 lead, and Ryan Reeves wanted to fight. He wanted to get into a fight. And Albert Jack, all he did was point at the scoreboard and then skid it away.
