00:00Florida Panthers, they lost in a preseason shootout to the Carolina Hurricanes.
00:043-2.
00:05They'll be back at it tomorrow.
00:07But you did get a goal once again from Brady Kachuk.
00:10And you got a goal from Alexander Barkoff.
00:12No-look goal, which was sick.
00:15Did you see that?
00:15No, I didn't see it.
00:17I heard.
00:18He was looking at Brady the whole time.
00:21And he goes, look at him.
00:24Goalie never knew what hit him.
00:26Stupid.
00:28Never knew what hit him.
00:30That first line is amazing, isn't it?
00:34Whatever you need.
00:35However you want to play, we got the guy.
00:39We had everything last night.
00:41These preseason games, there's a lot of shenanigans in every Panthers game.
00:45But it seems like there's no penalty.
00:47So they can just fight.
00:48They can do whatever.
00:49They're fighting.
00:50They're doing whatever they want.
00:52Willy nilly.
00:54They'll be back at it tomorrow against the Lightning.
00:57But I believe Paul Maurice is going to...
01:00We're going to have to lead the league in penalty minutes, right?
01:02Yes.
01:03Yeah.
01:03We're going to be definitely top three in penalty minutes.
01:05Yeah.
01:06Between Tuka Chucks.
01:08I know.
01:08Garnett, Hathaway.
01:11I mean...
01:11And a Benny.
01:12Benny.
01:13Yeah.
01:13The usual players.
01:15Meeksy.
01:17You know...
01:18That's how they...
01:19That's what they do.
01:20That's what they do.
01:21You know?
01:22I mean, they're lucky right now.
01:23Gajevic isn't able to play.
01:25And Marshy.
01:26Not used to getting under people's skin.
01:30So...
01:30But I am so happy to see Alexander Barkov play hockey again, dude.
01:35I miss that guy.
01:36Yeah.
01:36I mean, like...
01:38We knew he was great.
01:39But you really...
01:40Like, when you take Alexander Barkov away from us for a year, and then you bring him back,
01:44it's just like...
01:44Oh.
01:45It's a level of comfort.
01:46You know?
01:47To have that greatness back on the ice.
01:51I'm telling you, man.
01:53It's certainly going to feel good seeing all our guys in action.
01:57Right?
01:58No doubt.
01:59No doubt.
02:00Because last year, it...
02:01Like...
02:02You know what?
02:03I think we appreciate what happened the previous three years even more.
02:10Because you realize how important some of the guys are on the team.
02:15Definitely.
02:15By not having them last year.
02:18Definitely.
02:19That's definitely part of it.
02:20And yesterday, it was...
02:22What did I say?
02:23I saw from David Dwork yesterday.
02:26He says, we may be on the cusp of a Barkov heart season.
02:30Like a Barkov MVP run, having this kind of a partner on his front line.
02:34Right.
02:34And I do wonder...
02:35You know, he is always slept on.
02:38But now you saw what happened to the Panthers last year.
02:41Not being able to make the playoffs without him.
02:43And then if they come back and they have a monster year, could that be in the cards for Barky?
02:47That'd be kind of cool.
02:48I wonder what the odds are for that.
02:51But...
02:51I mean...
02:53Is it...
02:53Does it become a little more difficult playing with the same type of guy next to you?
02:59I don't know.
03:00I mean, like, you take into account all the points that he's going to rack up, though.
03:03Between him and Brady are basically the same guy.
03:06Not necessarily.
03:07I would say, like, there's a little more finesse to Barky's game.
03:11Like, whereas Brady's got, like, more brute and plays heavier and is going to hit guys.
03:16Right.
03:17You know, Barky's a more...
03:18Like, he's going to cover guys more.
03:20Yeah, that's not his style.
03:22But they are going to complement each other very well between the size and the skill between them both.
03:28That is, I think, what Paul Maurice is referring to.
03:30But Brady's going to bash your face in where Barky's a gentleman.
03:34A gentleman.
03:36Bobby!
03:37Oh, man.
03:38They took my boy's joy.
03:39Did you see that?
03:40Oh, my goodness.
03:41That picture looked crazy.
03:43You know what it looked like?
03:45It looked like when the Dolphins have the first pick and they pick a quarterback and then they put the
03:52quarterback in the jersey.
03:54That's what it looks like.
03:55Yeah, it doesn't look real.
03:57Right.
03:57It doesn't look real and it doesn't look right.
04:00But he doesn't smile for pictures.
04:02I mean, he's Russian, you know.
04:05They don't smile.
04:07Well, you saw it, I think, in the Panthers.
04:09I'll get the side-by-side here for our audience.
04:12But that's about, like, what he has with the Panthers.
04:15That's Bob at his happiest.
04:17And then we have Maple Leafs Bob who, I mean...
04:22You know what it looks like?
04:24Here's what the Maple Leafs haven't figured out yet.
04:29Don't mess with Bob's regimen.
04:32Right.
04:32It looks like they went and took him away from one of his workouts to take team pictures.
04:38And that's the look he has.
04:40Yeah, you don't want to do that because he has to focus.
04:43If you take him away from focus...
04:46Right.
04:46No bueno.
04:47But that's what it looks like, right?
04:48It looks like they made him do something and he's like...
04:51All right, I'll get this up here for our audience so you can see the comps of Bobby.
04:55This was a tweet from...
04:59Who sent this?
05:01I just want to give credit.
05:03Oh.
05:04It's a great...
05:05I love this account.
05:06FL Cats History.
05:09And they put Bob's Panthers picture.
05:13And then they put his Maple Leafs picture.
05:17And he just looks miserable.
05:18They stole my boy's joy.
05:20I mean, he tried to squeeze out a smile, but that ain't really a smile either.
05:25I mean, it's better than that.
05:27Yeah.
05:29It's better than whatever that is.
05:31Does he look like...
05:32He looks like he just asked, where was your beach?
05:35Yeah.
05:37Right?
05:38And then he came to the realization, what?
05:41No beach.
05:43He doesn't realize that.
05:44One is for the tan, the other one isn't.
05:46That's all.
05:46Oh, look.
05:47Look how tanned.
05:48Holy smokes.
05:49I don't even reckon...
05:50Look how tanned he is in the Panthers jersey.
05:52You got...
05:53You got Sunrise Bob.
05:55And you got Siberia Bob.
05:56Oh, yeah.
05:58I mean, they're loving him as far as, like, all the preseason stuff.
06:01They're like, oh, he's a leader.
06:03Everybody's listening to him.
06:05And then...
06:06Oh, I don't question...
06:06I don't doubt that.
06:07I don't doubt if you are a teammate of Bobrovsky, that you don't become a better professional.
06:19How could you not?
06:20How could you not?
06:21It also is one of these interesting things with...
06:23Basically, you watch him prepare.
06:25You dropped out there for a second, buddy.
06:26Sorry.
06:28Who, me?
06:28Yeah, you did.
06:29But you're back.
06:30Okay.
06:31But, yeah, the preparation...
06:32It is interesting, though.
06:33I see on all these hockey...
06:35On all these hockey Twitter accounts, kind of like the NBA Central of hockey, and there's
06:42a lot of reporters that are like, yeah, the Helibook stuff is still out there lingering.
06:46And I just don't know how the Panthers are going to get in the game, because you would
06:49have to convince Marstrom to go to Winnipeg.
06:52Like, it's already been reported that it's assumed that he's got Winnipeg on the no-trade
06:57list.
06:58So, I don't...
06:59Oh, really?
07:00Wow.
07:00Yeah.
07:00So, I don't know how the Panthers are getting in the game for Helibook.
07:03Like, it's going to be Marstrom's season, it feels like.
07:06That's what they're going to look...
07:07I mean, the problem was, is the timing was a little off, because they had to make a decision.
07:12Right.
07:12With the Brady trade.
07:14Well, that, or even with...
07:16I'm saying even with the Bob situation.
07:18Yes, that too.
07:19But, I think the thing was, I definitely, you know, when we talked about this with Paul
07:25at Media Day, Paul Maurice, I didn't think that the Mackie-Samuskevich trade was for Brady.
07:32I thought that was for Helibook.
07:33I didn't think that they were going after another Kachuk.
07:37Because I didn't think...
07:37I just didn't think Ottawa was going to break.
07:40The Helibook thing is an interesting one, because they really don't want to trade him.
07:44But he really doesn't want to be there.
07:46No, dude, he's suspended right now.
07:48They suspended his ass.
07:50They don't...
07:51They said, oh, you didn't come to camp?
07:53You're suspended.
07:53We got a...
07:54They got a Jimmy Butler situation in Winnipeg right now.
07:58So...
07:59Well, very rarely...
08:00Can I just say this?
08:04Making a stink only works well in basketball.
08:09Yes.
08:10You can make a stink in football.
08:11You can make a stink in hockey.
08:14But it doesn't seem to have the same...
08:17Hockey loves to shame.
08:18Hockey loves to shame.
08:20You can make a stink in football.
08:22You just better be good while you make the stink.
08:25Because Albert Hainsworth made many a stinks.
08:27Yeah.
08:28And got big bags.
08:30Right.
08:30And he just...
08:32While he was making a stink, continued to get fatter.
08:35Revis?
08:35Right.
08:36I mean, Revis was always excellent.
08:38But Revis made a stink...
08:38Revis signed one-year deals all the time.
08:41But he made a stink to get out of it.
08:44Right.
08:46But I...
08:47I can't think of...
08:47Because you have a whole bunch of guys that say, I'm holding out.
08:50They treat me like crap.
08:52Like, it just happened with Baker.
08:54Yeah.
08:54Who thought Baker was going to get 50 million a year the way that was going?
08:57They got to be regretting that right off the bat, huh?
09:00They got to.
09:01They're like, I can't believe he felt that.
09:03That's like...
09:04That's...
09:04Hey, we've been there.
09:07We've been there.
09:07That's the thing, man.
09:08Look.
09:10You...
09:12We can't...
09:13We have to get away from...
09:16If you're a starting quarterback, you're supposed to make 50, 60 million.
09:21Because there's levels to this.
09:22No, they...
09:23Like, when Tua did the whole market is the market thing, he wasn't wrong.
09:27But Tua is the case of, like, he's going to...
09:29Those words are going to live in infamy because...
09:32Right.
09:32You can see how careful everybody's being with their QBs right now.
09:35How about this?
09:36Look.
09:38So, I was having this conversation yesterday with somebody.
09:42Say Deshaun Watson lights it up all year.
09:45Mm-hmm.
09:46Right?
09:48Who's going to sign him?
09:50Because if I'm the Browns, I say, I'll give you...
09:52You know what?
09:53Based on what you've given us, I give you 10, 15 million a year for two years.
09:58Oof.
09:59And if he says, no, I'm out of here, who else is going to sign him?
10:02Depends on how he finishes.
10:04Yeah, I guess it depends on how he finishes.
10:05I don't know, man.
10:06I don't know.
10:08Cass, you think somebody will sign him?
10:11Fam, if they somehow win nine games...
10:14I've been chewing on this.
10:16Leroy, if he throws for 3,500 to 4,000 yards, gets Cleveland to eight to nine wins, you know
10:22what people are going to say?
10:24He's back.
10:24I feel like six wins is a miracle.
10:26No, but people are going to give him a...
10:27He might not...
10:28He's not going to get 230.
10:30No, but you know what?
10:31I don't think he makes more than 20 years.
10:34He could make 25.
10:35He could make 20 to 30 million dollars in a bridge.
10:38If he had a legitimately...
10:40Who, Joe?
10:41If he had a legitimately good year, somebody would Malik Willis.
10:44Yeah.
10:45How did Gino get a deal?
10:46Is the only team that would sign him Cleveland?
10:50That was...
10:51Because of the baggage?
10:54I mean...
10:54Yes!
10:54I don't know.
10:56Like, dude, listen.
10:59You don't think...
10:59Everybody's looking at that Cleveland deal and going, oh, you got one season out of 230
11:05million?
11:06Let me tell you what gets people to change their mind.
11:10Three words.
11:12For the cheap skis.
11:14Yeah, but again, what I'm saying is, is that, like, when you have situations where
11:22if he has a good year, we're going to, after the season, say he's better than 10 to 12
11:28quarterbacks.
11:29He had better year than 10 to 12 quarterbacks in the league, right?
11:34And once you get into that kind of realm of quarterback, you're talking about 40, 50
11:39million.
11:41You think another team, other than the Cleveland Browns, would give him that money?
11:48Based on what has transpired in the last four years?
11:55I know it's hard to believe this, but there are other dumb teams besides Cleveland.
11:58Home Depot.
12:01Ooh, you know what?
12:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:05I want to ask you this.
12:07In Atlanta?
12:08Yeah.
12:10Okay.
12:10He was going to go there before.
12:12Remember, Cleveland's the one that up the ante.
12:14I know, man.
12:16I'm just, I don't.
12:18Well, I know somebody to do it, and Vlad came up with the perfect where, like, it has
12:25to be so bad where they just say it's not Penix or Tua.
12:29Well, you are counting chickens.
12:31I mean, this does account for Deshaun Watson having 15 more good games.
12:34No, I know.
12:34I know.
12:35I know.
12:36I know.
12:36It could be Carolina this Sunday and be two and one.
12:38I think Carolina's going to light their ass up.
12:39I think so, too.
12:41Carolina's been cooking, dude.
12:42It's Cleveland's first home game.
12:43Carolina's been cooking.
12:45Yeah.
