Sid plays in 2030? | OverDrive: Sept. 9, 2026 - Hour 1

0:00This hour of overdrive is powered by fan duel fan duel bringing you everything from the opening line to the final score overdrive often running ts 10 50 on the tsn app your home smart speaker upon tsn 4 upon youtube live Brian haze your dog Jeff O'Neill Jamie noodles McClellan how we doing how we feel I am feeling great because I wasn't a bit of a rush and I said to myself I've only got two to three minutes to shower before work and I believe that is more than enough you guys not agree like when you hop in the shower how long is it taken I think if you get in there you get a lufa and scrub your whole body quickly and wash your hair what else do you need to go on in there that's probably more than enough time I mean I would suggest maybe more if you have it no by me if you got me ask you this you got a casual day haze your home by yourself

1:03yeah and you got to go somewhere and you're like I got a pop a shower how long you think you're in there for if I'm in a hurry I could get in and out in 45 seconds like honestly if you have to like this is the difference but the question is a regular day regular guy I don't understand like a few minutes is wait for five minutes yeah maybe a four five minutes like maybe you get some tunes going in there which is not necessarily but sometimes you get some music you know what I'm talking about I I've got to speak you to all boys I pull up I pull a speaker right into the shower yeah me too I don't know how I'm going down this party man oh I'm listening this morning I took a nice five to seven minute shower I had to song choosing Texas roll and purple and and I was singing and enjoying myself and I with you I don't know two to three minutes with a loop and stuff there might be some things I don't know I don't want to invite you're not flexible enough for only two to three minutes like that that's basically there's a leg up on on the glass yeah I

2:06don't know what's going on what do you mean I'm not flexible a couple of quads I don't think I know those shoulders you're down to your fourth shoulder or whatever at all those surgeries you can't you don't have enough flexibility like I just don't chance if you're banking on a lufa and flexibility it's like it's flexible for the lufa I'm not a lot flexible yes I don't know what your talk like I don't know what direction you're going like if you're talking shed door action I'm more than comfortable getting into those different areas well I mean those are the those are the priorities generally if you're taking a quick shower yeah for sure but I I think you're realistically guys can do it yeah like you know cable called you out member at msg he said you basically ran under the shower and ran out and and and there was some stuff going on on the towel that you wiped but my point being is I think a couple minutes three to four minutes more than enough more than

3:06if you're smart about it you you're shampoo right away and scrub but you need scrubbing well I think someone that gets in there for the 20 minutes no totally unnecessary obviously I mean that that I don't know what you're doing in there if you're if it's a 20 pack you know and it's obviously you know one of the the many differences between men and women but that's always a grab I'm sure you've had it with your wives were I can be ready in two minutes if I have to be that's it you know like if we're how many times as your wife asks you she like are you not gonna get ready yeah like I'll be ready I'll be ready I'll be ready I'll start getting ready four minutes before the car supposed to start yeah exactly you'll still beat them to the car yes that's the best part I I will be laying on the couch and they're like we're leaving in five minutes I'm like I will still beat you to the car somehow and and now I've got a dog I've got a teenager I got a high school yeah daughter now now you guys are all both of you are living in that world we're in that world now so they there is nothing but time and oh I forgot to do this and I had to do that and I had to you know curl this and all sorts of stuff so the the boys we just hang in the

4:10background take a quick little rinse you get sorted and you beat them to the car man get the hair dusted up it's a beautiful thing I I was actually I laughed about it yesterday but you've talked about showers I was gonna get you guys and I didn't want to do a day one so I took a different supplement the last month and apparently it makes my head stink so I was gonna get you guys to smell my head yesterday and I was like I can't do a day one I can't do that so I stopped taking it but apparently it's this carnitine and it makes your like head like fish oil like it makes your head smell like a fish okay and it is for dip I did I've stopped taking it I didn't pick up on yesterday I think we would have both of us were in here I got to the bottom of it we tried to figure out what was going on and it turns out we googled it we chat GBT did if you have too much of this carnitine or whatever it comes out of your pores and like I I guess the kids in several

5:14like what is going on is there like we have a like a dead fish under the couch or something and I'm sitting there I apparently it was coming out of my pores that's hot that's where you might need a 20-minute shower after that yes like if you have a routine like that's where like tomorrow's dog some crack staff info average age for man is 14 to 17 minutes and I'm not buying it in a shower do you yeah you're that's the whole routine that's a shave brushing your teeth all that what that's a teenage kid that's up to no yeah that's what that's not a that's not water running in the shower yeah like there's no that's not possible that people around the world are having 17-minute showers on average yeah see like it's not it's not possible it's that's there are some people that are no like no no no people that are grossed like Sebastian Manoscalko has a bit where he's like someone said to him like yeah I'm just gonna pop a quick shower and he's like not how why don't you stay in there a little bit there are some people that think you need to be

6:15in there but I just don't know what else you need to do you scrub a once over and gas it off you're good yeah and you work it at home too so like it's even probably less concern in terms of you know hygiene and all that yeah if I was coming in today a little longer shower yeah a little bit of a different story when you're out in public I guess yeah I'll tell you what I know one guy who I don't think needed a shower period and his name is Santander did you see this guy rounding the bases after going yard I've never seen a guy round the bases like this okay he jet look at this guy yeah at least he was going around first yeah that's the old beer league points that's a beer league player he's on run triple a buffalo and look at this man and look okay so that was last year just for clarification purposes thank you do

7:16you I don't know why there's all of a sudden this on the radar but he has shoulder issues right now and I believe that was his concern last year but that looks like a beer league play like I've been playing beer league baseball or softball my mistake I thought that was yesterday he's starting later this week he's down in Buffalo so that that is not yeah that is not I don't know why that is in the algorithm for you right now still I remember seeing that last year thinking the same thing little bit of an obnoxious like I'm a major league or why am I here this is gross to me that was so outrageous but line is these guys I mean they one last night they're playing right now they got to win like that you know you're absolutely you're exactly a Cleveland found a way to do it like Cleveland's got some magic going and you've got Texas in Baltimore like we've been talking about their track and I mean you've got Texas later in a week and you got Baltimore twice when they get back from Oakland or Sacramento they play Baltimore they got Baltimore down in Camden yards later next week I believe it is so you're playing all the teams around you and you got your two out of three

8:21against Cleveland last week and you're right there of course you got to get wins but sorry I know it was really good last night Spencer miles that's a rule five draft pickup like that's just an exceptional talent evaluation moved by Ross-Ackins and Company where they have really had a great season it's funny the front office last year when they went to the World Series I don't think got as much attention and got as much adulation as they are this year and they're 500 you know there's 73 and 73 and I think Ross-Ackins deserves even more credit this year than he did a year ago and they won 94 games went to the World Series which is pretty incredible based on the turnover based on the injuries based on guys like Spencer miles that they've picked up the signings they had Oklahoma out of his 30th home run last night that was a great signing like great pickup it's it's it's work they basically chose him over Boba Shatt that they not more or less they effectively a right handed bag and a plan of left side of the infield not going to make as much money as as ball which is also smart because they probably saved you know 15 20 million dollars a year and

9:26but Shatt wasn't going to hit with the same amount of power at a minimum as Okamotos I think you know any given day both still a better player regardless of what happened this year Bose had a real struggle and Okamotos been really good but nonetheless Okamotos been a great signing so yeah the Soriano there's an acquisition at the deadline Spencer miles rule five draft pickup like that's the Ross-Ackins show last night in Sacramento so really good performance so Hayes when they went through the deadline and you're moving Gossman out like you're you're did you think they're waving the white tower did you come on the show and and I asked him to describe what you just did he said we were sellers like that that's what he said now he he kind of I wouldn't say Ross took offense to us looking past the rest of the season because there was a portion of the interview that was about 2027 and beyond you know what else do you got to do to get the team ready for next year how do you make sure this doesn't happen again you know it was around the trade deadline they were in a really bad place yes so naturally the tone of that conversation was different

10:29but yeah I thought based on the way they had played based on the performances based on the selling a lot of selling that they were likely putting up the white flag and to the credit I guess for the clubhouse they haven't done that so you know they like you said big one last night they're playing now we'll see what comes of it they're back home as of tomorrow and we get the NFL back tonight get the NFL back tonight the NFL and Australia tomorrow it's going to be a great 48 hours do you need to address that tweet by Luke like I will let him do that obviously it's bogus like it was such a chat gpp like AI is not even good AI like it was it was like budget team who I AI you know that's the thing like you don't know what to believe anymore like I agree stupid clay Matthews thing was some advertisement it was right they came out and there's like he's advert this like you don't know what the hell is real when people are posted picks anymore exactly and Luke was trying to get kind of wedge between my partner and I it's not possible I was

11:32brother and I are on the same page you guys are going to be on the clock tonight though so we've got our first pick and we'll look ahead to not only tonight but tomorrow and certainly the season with Luke Wilson he's coming up just after five and strutty coming up at about 4 30 because you know that NHL tours going on and they're all doing their media and everyone is a healthier and happier than ever and everyone's a decrossed intention they dragged that guy out there to Vegas every single year and he goes yeah he does because I think there's been a bunch of guys in the past that have said to help somebody else like I'm just not going back there I I was asked a question to guy today guys and it was a God's honest question and I had to think about it and I think I might I want your opinion on it if there are chance Sydney Crosby plays in the next Olympics yes I agree yes I said yes this guy is he's Tom Brady he's playing into his forties and he's not

12:34like the drop off won't be the massive the guy is a hockey freak and I think he's playing I've been saying it for years oh you are you are you are a liar are you kidding me two years the Olympics were over you're like that's his last one no no no no not the Olympic thing I have been saying for years this guy's going to play in well into his forties you have been saying he's going to retire any second now you've been saying that for years that he's not playing deep into his forties I think he is going to put a pull up he's playing yes he is he basically admitted to it yesterday he said what he's going to do is sign one year contracts would be my guy he's going to yearmer yoghurt this thing probably in Pittsburgh his whole career to help them to make sure no one gets jammed up because that's the kind of guy he is like what what a lottery win to get Sydney Crosby like you you mentioned him going to Vegas the the I guess over there I don't know I'm curious I can't imagine he is because that's probably what we're talking about and he's totally within his rights to do that also veterans 40 years old he's probably like I've been there

13:3617 times in a row I'm not going anymore then someone else send Cairo he just got here then send somebody else down there I'm not doing it sent Tom Moses that's not the purpose of the the they want those guys they want their best players and Sid is such an ambassador for the penguins and for the NHL that he goes you know and he's there and he's going to be a part of it and he's there representing the penguins and he is still the best player they have and he's going to I think have another great season I have no reason to believe he won't be a point per game guy and he'll extend that that you know statistic and I think he's going to play another four or five years is I'm not going to give it a lock that he plays for the Olympics that's not we as like you didn't say I'm a guaranteeing do I think he's going to be in the conversation if he's healthy I think he probably will be he'll be 41 that's going a lot and there's a lot of really good players like a and to be clear obviously if he's on that team he's the 12th or 13th forward at that point he may not even play it it may be and maybe it's not worth it for him at that point you know and this is

14:37projecting literally three and a half years down the road. Well this guy's putting a jersey on and he's playing in the national hockey league like he can be a penalty killing fourth line like he could make the team I would think so right as well as he's healthy I just don't think he's going to do what you say he's going to do I think he's Tom Brady this thing I wouldn't be shocked to be placed on his 44 45 years old I do think that that is if there is somebody that is going to do it it's him like yeah Ovi I know Haze you were talking about it yesterday it's five years in a row you haven't put them on the list and now I think it's more of a you know a personal thing we are that's one of the most individuals like they get slapped in the face but you're taught 50 but what I'm saying is I don't like Sidney Crosby at 39 has not dropped out I got to my 70 of course I had him in my top ask you this what about performance what about performance he he is entering this

15:39and by the way I want Sid to play till he's 45 I think it would be great I just don't think he's going to do it just turn third what have the other okay he's 39 years old what if let's say next year he's 40 years old and he puts up nine goals and 14 assists do you think after a season like that he would say that's probably a nine I think so because that using Brady as the example his last year remember got ugly form like they they got into the playoffs because the NFC South was terrible they played Dallas in the playoffs at home and got destroyed I don't think he threw it for a touchdown it was ugly like it got you a point where it was clear he was not going to play to a standard that was acceptable anymore and I think the same thing would apply with any great player body or time to say Lewis and he just it was not even the same thing did not going to allow himself to be embarrassed out there no I just think there it oh I agree with you but I would say this and I'm going to put a caveat on it if he had one bad year at 40 years old 41 years old I

16:41still think he would play one more to try and see is it an outlier or is it is it curtains Gretzky's last year had nine goals like he had nine goals now he had 62 points still one's he assists and I understand this guy is the ultimate competitor what once he's got which he might already does he have all the penguins records like does he have I don't ask the question mario had so many but mario missed a lot of time he's been chasing mario down in some capacity noodles I don't think it's got all the points yeah look at that and I do believe I've heard through the grapevine that one of his goals is to have all the penguins records so once he gets that like I don't know I guess you just wonder like what what are you chasing you imagine not chasing a cop how great mario limu was that said hasn't caught him in all of those categories has been in the league for 21 years yes as the best player and he still hasn't caught mario in some areas because because mario for fun guys was how about an 80 80 89 place 76 games and

17:51puts up a hundred ninety nine points like amazing like dude I think he was up for the heart trophy when he came into the league the one year the first game was against the Leafs he joined them out of retirement after Christmas and he almost won the heart he was so good like scary scary good like gretski obviously was so intimidating was way gretski but there were times and I oh you probably had the same conversation with people through the league going that guy's so different like you know it's like comparing Lindross to those guys because Eric would just skate over people and skate through people mario just don't mario take a four minute shift and just dominate and lean on the boards like yeah he he dominated the league for you know you look at a hundred points hundred forty one one oh seven one sixty eight one ninety nine and never playing 82 games yeah always describe it as Wayne I think Wayne without question and you can talk about your McDavid's

18:53and what he brings to the table because he is such a spectacular talent but Wayne is always going to be regarded as the best player but I think without question not even a question mark just from watching and playing against them for a bunch of years I don't think there's like a question who the best talent to ever play the game like the most talented player is like mario hands down like he was so disgusting what he did out there it was like watching magic like that that's just how good he was yeah I've never seen a guy in Hartford one night he sat at the far blue line and put his elbow up on the dasher like just hanging out and then someone just whizzes a puck at him like mid like nut length and he knocks it down and goes in on a breakaway and scores I'm like how does this guy like that's ridiculous yeah his numbers are obviously crazy what what are the stats with Pittsburgh like you keep saying them come on doogie let's go buddy get the headset on yeah what do we got temper yeah come on doogie let's go

19:59what do we got so crossby leads the penguins in most career points most career assists and most multi-point games okay so once he lacking goals just goals okay only chase a mario just mario okay how many behind 36 oh so he's gonna do that in like a year or two yeah but don't you think that that's the last thing on the checklist and then he's gonna say check no I don't think so he's gonna keep playing Sydney Crosby just lives in breeds hockey yeah we all know he's a great citizen got great friends you know we know nothing about his personal life and that's by choice but the guy literally lives for hockey and I don't know if you guys saw that jazel interview where she was kind of taking a shot at Tom and going I laid it to him saying choose your family or football you decide he's like no play football like it literally like it just I think Crosby's a guy who is a life for hockey ask from jazel did you see that just sell like just a missile

21:02of all missiles like no you want to hang out at home a little bit or you want to play football that that to me is a mic drop and why is the greatest of all time I don't care about stats I don't care like super balls it's that he had a decision to make and he said sorry to sell I'm playing I'm playing football I don't know how I got caught down in rabbit hole watching a jazel interview but I watch him yeah he might have some regrets on that Tom gets pretty emotional these days when he starts talking about it well of course he may regret that last year at the end but where they lost they got pumped by Dallas and the wild Kirk is that the year that he decided he still had to I think so he went back for one last dance in jazel and then he's an idiot he got in the way after all that school yeah he was out with the accordion he was yeah he was working on his kids he was doing kung fu fighting on different levels all right struddy coming up and I want to get more into what john tivaris was saying he's

22:02down to representing the maple loose and I guess he's got a new roommate too he's he's taken Gavin McKenna under his wing so we'll get into that get into a number of things with struddy including a new signing in Edmonton we'll tell you about that struddy can comment on it and we're getting close to camps open them up and we got the NFL back tonight the jazel rolling lots of stuff going on on a Wednesday afternoon overdrive continues tsn 10 50 and on tsn 4 hello canada this is brine adam's radio hosted by brine adam himself we play a few mine a ton of my favorites and some must hear behind the scene stories from the world of rock and roll i'm gonna get you one thing about doing rock and roll so long as you end up meeting a lot of the people that you admire sometimes you can get to work with them it's only love and that's all brine adam's radio now available on the free iher radio ad everybody how are you tonight sounds great all right overdrive continues powered by fandall bringing more ways to play your game your way

23:04and i fell starting tonight on wilson on the clock lukega be in here in just over half an hour from now struddy coming up first appearance in a while we'll catch up with struddy here in a few moments and john tevarras is uh you know down there talking for the leaves and representing the leaves and was asked if he thinks with all the additions the leaves have made are they back in cup contention and i i'm paraphrasing but he said yes he believes so and yet he followed it up by understanding but we got to prove it right the whole world's waiting for you fair and i think that i'm i'm happy with that answer like you're not gonna come out and say no there's no chance you know did you watch this last year we stink we got of course you you better exude confidence now before you even step on the ice have belief in your program and hopefully a chip on your shoulder as an organization that you understand the reason there was so much turnover was because last year was such a disaster and you don't want to be in that position again so i i think it's probably what i

24:06expected out of tevarras but also in my opinion a very appropriate answer and one you'd probably want to hear if you're leaving i was thinking about those guys today it's like just the the main characters with michi exception is the only one who basically maneuvered his like he maneuvered his way out of town he didn't accept the trade did what he he's not here but of all the changes that have been made over the last ten or eleven years like the hiring's and firings and i have no idea why people behind and i understand sometimes somebody new comes in and they look at something they're like i we need to know what you're doing here or we don't like what you're doing here but the people that have been hired and fired because of i don't know what but the same the same guys are still here it's crazy how they've like outlasted everybody yeah everybody talking coaching staff trainers president's owners of games all that kind of stuff and Matthews

25:09tevarras neilander riley are still here as of now wow yeah it's interesting guys because morgan riley they that just quieted down like you know we like it just seemed like okay he's back like i mean is that and you know i think that's because it wasn't a deal that he had personally i mean i i think it's been well reported that he had offered up some teams he was willing to listen on i think the leeks were probably willing to make some trades and maybe no one came calling or if they came calling a sweetener had to be a part of it and the leeks weren't willing to stomach that there's also someone certainly with the defense right like what is christana gonna be is he gonna play or not i know a hundred percent Brian sort of interrupt i i think they're better with morgan riley than not so they they need him because you know christanav is we all hope and believe he can play 84 games this year i would probably take the under that he's

26:11not gonna make 84 games but how many games are gonna get from him obviously radish is the guy you signed but you know they got the kind of still got older and they you know they i don't they still don't have a lot of puck movers and that's the thing that you need to get to those forwards and skilled forwards so i still think it's a work in progress like you know i like their goal tending i i like what they did up front i think the d i still if i'm being honest i don't love that decore i don't i i i think that there's an improvement to be made there but it might be by time and i don't know you know you got mccabe riley lar ekman larcen 30 plus all of them yeah right that ball tending is gonna be fascinating guys like you look at bbrowski in the system that they played in florida and how those defensemen have played around him i guarantee you early on within 10 games he's gonna say let's have a see here boys and let's go over some video tape because the shot proximity or whatever the hell they call it where they shoot from high danger chances

27:15let's just see how that changes for him and the different kinds of shots that he's faced in high traffic or high danger areas because the leafs don't they couldn't check their hat last year no so it was an organizational problem like they they did not defend while they did not but that's what they gave up way too many you know what they needed last year a six foot four tough left handed shot that can clear the front of the net with it and you're a scratchy hairdo and you and you used the two by four for a stick that's that i want never made the transition to the one piece because he couldn't do it wasn't in the budget wherever you have no no the coach said you don't have good enough hands to touch that thing it'll blow you got to use a wooden turd with the sure wood pmp 50 30 that's what he used i love those better light well let's bring them in what an introduction our main man jason struttwick joining us back on overdrive how are we doing struddy boys a good magician can use any one it doesn't matter doesn't matter the wand and still try

28:20I mean don't you don't get over 40 assists in the NHL by accident right that is mostly tape to tape or off the glass passes that career total 40 apples I don't know well if you if you count warm up and probably over 15 but I think I was around that number I don't say at this point I mean it's how do you count them all up oh god I don't have a time in the day 42 how many yeah 42 passes yeah I I remember one year I was trying to get 10 points out of that nine and I shot one in uh in the pellet kill hit the glass hit the linemen helmet and went to the middle of my partner or my front this guy got a break lane scored and the ref didn't want to give it to him like you've got to give it to me but I couldn't get the tenth I was like the eighth or ninth point you would have been a huge year career here 10 points I'm gonna make what a play the the linemen had to leave the game with an injury oh yeah he didn't we we we had one life they short the rest of the game but it was fine we weren't gonna win the game anyway struddy let

29:25me ask you this as a tough guy like what do you think it has more like pressure or what makes somebody nervous more before a game someone that has to produce points or somebody that knows they might have to fight somebody like what do you think's more stressful yeah I do I do think the pressure of score and I love god that's the disrespectful to fighters you know they he's kind of their own unique challenges you know I I remember you know I was fairly lucky I didn't have to fight the absolute killers all the time but when I did it was uncomfortable sleep night before you know you're like okay if I don't do if I don't fight well I might get hurt whereas if you're a score if you don't score it's not like you're getting hurt you know maybe the coach gets on you or maybe or fans so these come with their own unique set of pressure I mean the perfect world get a dupe it of both you know you think back to some of the guys are you know like an again love they could fight and score I mean that would be the dream for any for for me like that's what I would love to be in a guy that could you know maybe like an at-home but fought more right that would

30:28have been the dream for me but obviously I dreamed it'd come true yeah and with you guys wrong exactly and then it's double stress at the same time you got to fight and produce points you know I guess you know both of those can drag you down if you're an again love or a shanahan or you know any of the all-time great power forwards or defenseman that they could do both but yeah we were just talking about the Leafs and expectations and all the turnover and I know I'm sure these guys get it too when they're in town and talking to some people obviously a lot of people asking can the James get into the playoffs and then naturally it's what do you think of the Leafs and I'm still trying to wrap my head around you know what is more likely to lead to success yeah let's presume they have a good year and they they bounce back and make the playoffs you think it's more likely the reason they do that is because the carryover players had a great years the Matthews the Tavares the Nielanders the Rylees Tanav returns healthy or all of the new guys because this is going to be basically

31:29a 50% change opening night you're gonna have a brosky and net radish and I think Andre playing on the point and at least six new forwards opening night like there's gonna be upwards of nine maybe 10 new players in the lineup for the first game of the season so the incumbents the carryovers or the new guys that are going to have to play a bigger role in them having success this year well I didn't mention the new coach so what exactly to look like but I've got to stick with I've been saying for quite a while they needed better puck movie defense and the two guys he mentioned and I'll put Tanav in that group as well I think Tanav is a guy they can help you know get that get the puck through adding three guys and two especially their their job is to move that puck up to the forwards so I know those forwards are exciting you know your top six even the bottom six guys are happy because they'll be getting pucks cleaner and maybe faster on the breakouts and that's what those guys want they don't care you know who's passing to base one again the puck so I believe it'll be the new players that have the biggest impact and I'll look specifically at the demand for that

32:35I'm trusting yeah I mean you know Stretty it's it's funny because my biggest thing is I love Chris Tanav but I would love to see a 28 year old Chris Tanav you know like that's the biggest thing is that they're reports that that he has to still meet with doxers to get cleared for the beginning of training camp I mean yeah he said that he's he's on record saying it's not even a report it's yeah Tanav he's not been cleared yet try getting any news at a Toronto right now it's a it's a code of silence right now but I mean I at the end of the day if Tanav is in your lineup you're a better team regardless of if he's a Ferrari with 500,000 kilometers on it like he's still a very good player and knows how to play I agree Stretty my biggest thing is is I I think they need those puck movers to get that that forward those forwards the puck and I look at Austin Matthews I think Austin Matthews is going to have a big ear he just needs somebody to get him the puck whether that's McKenna or if it's Ross Levyc Stretty you've watched Ross Levyc last year what did you make

33:36of Ross Levyc and do you think he can fit into a top six role playing with really good players if if you appreciate and understand what Ross Levyc is it'll be fine Ross is the guy who loves he loves to have the puck on his stick and escape towards other teams net that's what he likes you know if you understand that and you're you're he's going to get 20 goals for you no problem but you know those other details of the game that I think Hiller will have expectations for I think he's still trying to you know become that you know a guy that you know is able to get in front of a shot every now and then or make a demon you know alter his course on their blue line or those types of things so yeah offensively he's going to help in you make some he's very skilled and I've been I've been watching this guy since Winnipeg and I've always been waiting for him to bust out and you know maybe busting out of 20 goals maybe that's what he that's his best but I think that there's parts of this game a way from the puck that he can approve on that a average to poor player it can do they would make him a far more important player on any team

34:40can Hiller do it you know that would be multiple coaches now trying to get the same thing out of them but offensively oh yeah when he has the puck rescuing his other teams net you're gonna be like yep this is great how many times you see a guy at his age just all the sudden magically show up the training camp and do all the things that's like it just he is what he is like everybody in hockey says if that guy that that's what he is he's a puck moving guys got the puck but if you think he's gonna finish checks or block shots or bring those other intangibles that everybody on a coaching staff loves you're basically not gonna see it so that's yeah and that's why he and that's why he's that that cap number that's why he kind of moves around a bit right that's right easy name shelter for sure okay well we'll see I mean when he gets into town and he's he's really kind of buried here in terms of the players who are going to get the most attention obviously Gavin McCann is gonna get a ton circuit but broski there and radish you know among many others including the carryover guys like Matthews and Matthew Nies after the summer that he's had with

35:43all the rumors surrounding him so he's actually he's gonna get a real opportunity to blend into camp there's not gonna be a ton of Jack Rossinovic requests you know day in day out at camp um but you know he's still in a big market like he was last year in Edmonton and I'm seeing you know obviously McDavid's back out there and dry settles out there and there's video of the captain skates ongoing and there was some pretty significant news out of Edmonton today that they've signed Alex Foreman's into a one-year contract and of course he was a part of the sexual assault case the 2018 hockey candidate team he's one of the five players and he's been reinstated he hasn't been in the league has been playing since then in North America um but it's been a pretty wild offseason in Edmonton and now they bring informant in um how do you expect them to respond to this because I there's gonna be blowback it's natural that happened with Carter Hart when he got to Vegas gonna happen with formantin when he steps on the ice with the orlers um how do you expect the team

36:44to kind of respond to this because the request will be there for him and others to speak on it yeah and he's gonna have to speak right and then come out and speak now the the thing for him is he's the second one through the door right that's coming back into NHL I know Carter Hart was in Vegas so I just different than a Canadian market but still there's been another players gone through it um gone well have gone through you know being getting back into NHL I think the defense here in Edmonton um you know those don't voice their opinion you know whatever they however they might feel but do whaters have you know in the past they have brought players in um did it you know things have happened or you know even um you think about coming with you know and you know obviously not uh same level but you know with with things have happened um you know with with players and you know depending how you feel about it there is a history there so this is not a market that is not is not not not used to these types of people coming back to with with with you know things

37:47have happened to pass in their history yeah so I think it's not like it's a fresh place has never done it so now as far as the on ice I'd heard this might happen a bit a month ago and you know I I know I'm to be a big um fast skater so where's he fit in um you know as you mentioned he hasn't played a time of high level hockey the Swiss league is fast um you know I went over there and dominated but that we're not talking about me now but um you know um but I think that you know so he he will be up to speed but you know playing up to speed the Swiss league is a lot different than playing beside Con McDavid Leon Dry settle but you know Stan Bowman made it clear when he took this job he's looking for players everywhere whether it's free agents whether it's trades whether it's drafting wherever he's looking everywhere for players and if this guy can come in and play you know in his top end was 18 goals you know what does that look decided at different players so I don't know if he starts in the NHL I'm not sure where he fits because the owners have a lot of seem to depths in that bottom six but you know it's it's a shot

38:47through you know the probably worse uh worse the risk we're taking it's crazy that different sports like it seems like in the NFL if a guy gets in trouble the fans of that are just like I hope the guy can play Sunday like that's the attitude of NFL fans are like man I hope he's dressed Sunday and it's just completely different with with with this like it's a yes and especially up here I mean it was incredibly high profile for the right purposes and the right reasons um but listen they are cleared to play they are reinstated they are free men and you know Edmonton again like Stan Bowman had his background in Chicago like Babcock has his background and now Formenton has his all different context but the Oilers you know are clearly they can withstand it they are willing to accept that maybe some of their fans aren't happy about it and I think it's just another example of them effectively saying we are just here to win and that's it you know like that and I don't

39:47know if it's going to help them win I don't know Formenton can play anymore I don't know Babcock's the right guy for them I haven't been thrilled with Stan Bowman like honestly they've took they've taken some swings on guys that have not exactly led to success so far so we'll see if it even works out if it's worth all the risk in terms of the PR in the end and in a quick to stridey before you jump in it comes back to comments sometimes is the juice worth the squeeze like you know I think when they look at Babcock they're like we needed a coach we needed XY and Z maybe they've thought with Formenton like Dylan Dubay I think St. Louis signed him and put him in the minors and you know it's trying to let him I think the oilers are going to try and put him in the minors and let him work his way back and have him be a depth guy but again do they need that PR like Edmonton's had a tough PR offseason let's be honest it's you know and I don't think you're right Hayes I don't think they care I think they worry about like can this guy help our organization can Mike Babcock help our team I think that's what they're willing to do but it hasn't been a banner PR offseason we'll

40:54call it for Edmonton when it comes to polarizing topics and you just add in another one here today Absolutely yeah yeah yeah you put your points on made and I think like I I'm really looking forward to the start of this NHL season for many teams but specifically the oilers when I look at the changes they've made you know whether it's Bavka coming in journal nurse going out you know some other Eli guys you're buying for position the goalie situation I know they only have two right now but they have three when Freddie's healthy I think they'll carry three I really do I think definitely why should be ready to go because there's an opportunity to create a buzz about himself here from the from the coaching staff with Anderson out there's so many storylines running through this team not to mention you know we we we've been well documented that you know Conrad David's contract and where it's at now you look at the money being thrown around to the high end players I mean there's lots going on so how does Babcock handle these guys how do they handle Babcock how do they come out of the gates are they rested are they healthy like warmen is warmen

41:57you know back to the where he can be can trend Frederick come back like there's layers I think how like there's thousands of storylines and I put forming tin on top of that there's going to be a lot to talk about from out west here just from the owners not even the other western teams yet starting before we get you out of here did you turn back the clock at all this summer and just like have a couple big nights bar tea like just your mojo all of it like any big nights in the summer you know what noodles is the one who drags me down because you should make really good choices like I'm always like two beers and then I'd uber home but I didn't get a chance to hook up a new soul I didn't get dragged down did I have a couple of good nights yes yes I did but I was reasonable you know getting home before sunlight I okay good I I heard a vicious rumor but I did me we had one just at the end of last year in Calgary for a buddy's party and that went a little late but at the end of the day I I had a question for you because I saw a pick in our group chat a

43:02side profile yes there've been a flight to turkey to a different country booked yet or not like where are we at here what's the air situation is well yeah I think we need to have another you know I a draft a lot of draft yeah my draft the salad rebuild the salad rebuild draft I think I I told you guys before but like the erosion has stopped right there's it's not going back anymore it's it's done like it's like the fire is not burning anymore right so there's some other people I know they're evolving their draft that I'd be taking a hard look at some of their decisions with their air styles I'm not going to point fingers but let's just say one just left the four to panthers yeah yeah so yeah not to point but I mean again he defies all laws with what he's doing on top of his scalper all right well it's it's a great description the fires out the hairs set now and it's done it's not nothing's burning anymore the rest of the woods fine yeah it's a good 12 burn I love

44:08but the sun the the snow's on melting it's good it's worth that and I'm thrilled okay 51 it probably have another good I've got you nine years I'll get to 60 then I'll take a look at maybe maybe another rebuild or a trim or a trip Turkey okay I like that there's direct flights I've been to Istanbul we can make that one for you no problem right they welcome his open arms all would you ever consider the glue on tarp like the guy's good is it just mere this alcharez not looked like he's got a wig on did you see Alcharez put so many guys dumping glue on top of their head and they put a pelton and it looks real Alcharez take a peek at Alcharez last night I watched I watched a crime show in this poor bastard Los Angeles got arrested for murder and he was so pissed off that he couldn't go to jail with his tarp on and he was bald and he was living not the whole you know murdered trial he was mad about his tarp there he is look at Alcharez he's not diving for balls

45:11that's shalt and obviously that was a big win last night all right we'll watch this and we'll break it down there it is I don't think that's I don't know man it might be real it's moving a little bit thank you struddy we'll do it again soon fires out talking guys later he has case and strud with joining us how about that match ending at 3 30 in the morning last night absolutely absurd all right we got Luke coming up the first pick of the season in jerry's around the corner overdrive continues up on youtube live the battle for every yard a chase for the end zone a bill's mafia buffalo bills football has a new home on tsn radio every step every inch every touch down here every game live on tsn radio loss here from the players coaches and NFL insiders daily on one bills lie talent steps up fires buffalo bills football on tsn radio touchdown the bills live here now available on i heart radio all right Luke's coming up 5 p.m. we've got the opening for the NFL tonight can't wait for
