Hey, guys, is there anything better than beating the Leafs? Yes, winning the Stanley Cup! Yes, winning! They're doing anything relevant ever! Yes, not embarrassing Canada on the International Stave by Diving all the time! Stop! You! Stop!

0:27.5

Freaking loser! What a loser thing to say! Okay, all right. Just before the show, I discovered that clip is real and I honest to God can't believe it. Okay. How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing? How did he beat my heart thing?

Well, I'd just like to put in a quick word that the Chris Johnson show comes out today. Yeah. As does Alan Walsh actually will come out tomorrow. We're doing a little record today. If you've logged under the discord, and I'm trying to sound as NBR as possible here. Yeah. If you've logged onto the discord and you've left us a question, Alan Walsh might be answering some of your questions. Like, were you in the discord? Well, not in the discord. No, we're going to do it on the episode. I know. Isn't that cool? I was like, that's bad for content. It was time. No, we've been listening. That's better than Alan Walsh answering questions.

1:27.5

Yeah. Well, I mean, he even caused a dust up this morning in Edmonton. I noticed all the thoughts. What's better than a dust up? It's good. You know what? There was a few dust steps with Winnipeg last night, but that's not what we're going to start. I know you want to hit Winnipeg. I know. Well, I didn't really, and then I saw that clip. Can you make sure, Jesse, you have that clip. I got it all right. We'll pull that for we are going to hit the leaves in Winnipeg. What I promise you, I spend 0% of my day thinking about the Winnipeg Jets.

1:57.5

It sounds like the complete opposite, Steve. No, I'm bothered. I'm bothered. I'm bothered. Imagine if some random basketball show was just like, what's better than getting more listenership in the Steve Dangle podcast? What? I don't fucking think of you. We don't have a rivalry. Go away. Who are you? It sounds like you're doing a lot of things. Jesse, are the led lights are not on. I just won't let you know. So we got to get the light up here. We're going to light Steve up.

2:27.5

Chris, you got to light up the studio too. There you go. No, I'd so much rather talk about the the the conucks firing their coach and GM. I'd rather talk about the flyers firing their coaching staff. There's potential suspensions coming down. I'd rather talk about that so much more than some random fucking team from the Western conference. Wow. Is that what they refer to us now? So bothered. I am bothered. Not a loser. I don't know. Are we starting here? We might

2:57.5

know. I don't know. No, I think we're back to this. No, the conucks fired their coaches. Yeah, there's a chance. There's a chance to tease. I will get into it. We'll get into I hope you can bring this fire and again in a little bit here, but we're going to have some fun first. Here's the big man. Okay. So so first off, I can't remember a time where we found out about the next GM before the first one was gone or the next coach before the first one was gone. Yes. And then everybody's gone. Well, Jim betting safe. How did Travis Green take the fall for this?

3:27.5

When it's Jim betting to put the team together. And then we find out in a subsequent tweet from Elliot Friedman that the change had occurred Sunday afternoon. It had not been announced yet. He beat everybody to the punch as he do. And honestly, like I was talking to Steve on the phone about something completely different on Saturday. And I said, did you see the conucks game? Did you see the conucks game? No. And you said no. And I said, did you see Travis Green after the last goal winning?

3:57.5

And there was a shot at him. And I mean, it's you can check photo. Oh, it's floating around on the internet somewhere, but it's been buried. You know, there's so it's Travis Green. It's like the emoji with the flat mouth and the flat like the like just almost like he looks like his jaw. His bottom jaw wants to swallow the top of his head. Like he's just upset. And it's just it's the look of exasperation. Like I cannot do this anymore. And I remember and I said to Steve on Saturday, I'm like, I don't know.

4:27.5

How they're going to keep doing this. I don't know how they're going to keep doing this. That picture said it all. That picture is defeat. That picture is I just don't know what to fuck to do with. Yeah, there's there's been something that I've fundamentally disagreed with Elliot Friedman on over the course of the last month. Because you know, he was making fun of himself on 32 thoughts today. I was listening. Basically, he's getting texts from people like, Oh, who are you going to talk about today? Let me guess the conucks. But like they've they've had.

4:57.5

Probably the most hockey related drama this entire season. Yep. But what I've disagreed with him on is, well, I mean, you can't make a rash decision. You can't just what the fans booed. You can't fire someone because the fans booed. He's right about that. You can't. Yeah, but what I think he misunderstood is, yeah, you absolutely can. It's Vancouver. You absolutely can.

5:27.4

And what I think ownership completely underestimated is that the fans aren't booing because they're a bunch of angry piss babies. They're booing because they're absolutely right and have been for years.

5:41.4

This is a victory for Vancouver conucks fans. A guy who shouldn't have been GM a long time ago is no longer GM.

5:50.7

He didn't get to make the decision to fire the coach because he didn't deserve it. And the Aquilinis, I think, got a rather rude wake up call.

6:01.1

And they weren't able to ride two wins against non factor teams into Christmas. We beat. What's better than beating the senators for wins hours.

6:17.7

Like what a loser mentality. You see how that's a loser mentality that the owners were carrying into that situation.

6:26.3

And they come back home and conucks fans let them know. No, actually, we're not impressed in the slightest with your back-to-back regular

6:36.0

season wins against teams that are garbage. And they booed, chanted, fired, bending through jerseys on the ice.

6:44.0

We can argue about whether or not that's polite and professional and all that. Can I tell you that it works?

6:49.3

It works three times this year. Maple Leafs jersey thrown on the ice. They go on a crazy tear in the month of November.

6:56.1

It's not a real Canadian's jersey thrown on the ice. Berger van gets fired. Vancouver conucks jersey on the ice.

7:01.6

Benning and Travis can get fired. Jersey's on the ice are the most effective way to get somebody fired or get somebody fired up.
