It you want to get outraged research the FDA’s standards on safety of approval. Or even their “fast approval” process where companies have to prove their drug works after on market but companies don’t get around to it. NPR article on that one.
As someone who worked outside today near ottawa where it was 31°C feels like 39°C I appreciate the recognition Adam. Tell Jesse you do need to “Weather Network” it
It's not just Bob Ogden at $12M versus 3 guys making $4M. It's Bob plus two guys making $1.5M ($15M total) versus 3 guys making $5M on average. I think the three good players makes more sense.
GUYS please get the Maurice Richard event facts corrected. Maurice Richard didnt hacked a player to the head with his stick. He got suspended because he punched a ref who was holding him while another player was punching Richard. and just so you know the one who got hacked on the head with a stick was Richard by the opposing team player and that what started the whole brawl that day. Maurice stood back up after receiving the slash on the head and jumped the player who did it then the ref hold Richard and let the oposing team punch Richard. Richard got off the grasp of the ref, turned around and punch the ref because he was holding him and letting the other guy beat up Richard. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get thee facts right its like the fourth time you guys say the event and get it wrong all the time and i keep correcting it in the comments like 3 times but obviously you guys dont read comments. i like you guys but man tbh that annoys me because you're giving false fact to others who are listening the show. There is a movie and maybe even 2 or 3 about that event.
the marner questions with the 3 players at 4M question is flawed because its completely closed as if the 12M can only be replaced by 3 players at 4M. Get an 8M player and a 4M one. Not to say this would be possible but an 8M and a 4M player you could replace Marner with, Brady Tkachuk at 8.2M and Sean Walker at 3.6M and you still have .2M left over of this 12M scenario.
I must say, as much as I support your drive to keep SDP VIP an amazing place for content -- I am very happy you let spontaneous conversations like those of today come up without stopping it and "saving it for VIP". As someone who has been listening to every episode since 2014, it's cool to follow your tangents -- like the good old days.
Steve missed a huge opportunity when discussing the formations in the NHL when Jesse said when not set to crash the net they just stay to the outside. You could have said that was "Mitch marner mode" lol
I could not stop laughing about the penguins moving to coke from RC “they need to get that coke money” making them sound like an old weed dealer who decided move to selling cocaine 😂😂😂
The Bob Ogden scenario... I don't know why the asker decided on 3 or 4 players to take his place, when 2 would also suffice. $12M is what NJ is paying Hischier & Markstrom or what Ottawa is paying Tkachuk and Pinto next year. I would rather have either of those duos than just Marner at $12M. It's shaving a couple of million off of the top end talent to make sure the players lower down your line up, or in key positions like goaltending, is also competitive. The -25 point difference between Tkachuk & Marner isn't significant enough to really hinder Toronto in the standings either figuring Toronto finished with a +40 goal differential.
If Bob Ogden was a first pair defenseman making 10 mil, we'd be salty about the cap hit, but we might have gone deeper in the playoffs/actually competed for the cup.
I really do not understand how people can't see the issue with Bob's contract. Adam really put it pretty clearly. You have 3 roster spots that have to be filled. You can have 3 $4mil players or one Bob and two budget players. How do people not get the issue here...
Blue Jackets to *start the show! Second only to the weather! What a day. Thank you so much for keeping us in your thoughts. The rumor is that there was a disagreement about the timeline and expectations for the team, and presumably McClellan thought it was a much longer project. Fire the Cannon!
I have kayaking stories about... -Kayaking in the Pacific near Puerto Vallarta -Kayaking on Lake Powell near Antelope Canyon in Arizona -Kayaking down a Swiss river between Interlaken and Bern -Kayaking for 3 days on the Amazing Lake Como in Italy and many others... and they are all cool stories...
Thanks. I've been misspelling "Interlaken" for 20 years. Never autocorrected because Interlachen, Florida, apparently. If you ever kayak there, be careful! Never been to Lake Como, but all of Northern Italy has been pretty great, in my experience.
@@quercusquercus532 Northern Italy is amazing. Lake Como is a must especially from the water. Oh! And I wouldn't worry about the spelling ;) But, if you have a chance, do go. The whole area around Interlaken is just amazing.
Just gotta say, taking Marner at $12m over 3 $4m players is absurd. Like, just looking at forwards who currently make exactly $4m, a fair few of them are 40-50 point guys. You could relatively overpay for a guy like Marcus Foligno, and still make up the regular season points total with guys like Ryan Hartman or (NOTED ALLAN WALSH CLIENT) David Perron. Those kinds of players give you the pushback and depth scoring the Leafs desperately need in the playoffs. It's such a no brainer to move on from Marner given the cap constraints - and I say all this as a Marner fan.
Laraque worked with pazetta, slafkovski, its normal, like slaf is not a fighter but he has the size and wants to learn when he does fight he will know how to better protect himself
Big L on the Maurice Richard take here, guys. Francophones saw the events that took place on the ice and how their star player was treated as a microcosm of their lived reality at the time, in pre Quiet Revolution Québec. It wasn't a bunch of uncivilized people causing havoc for selfish reasons like sneaking into a stadium with no tickets.
😂😂 Adam so cheesed at the "feels like" for the weather. My grandfather had the exact same argument. What the hell does feels like mean. The temperature is not up for debate. It's is what it is. Nothing to "feel" like
For the RC Cola talk, the Toronto equivalent that comes to mind was when they changed the beef patty supplier for Bathurst Station a couple of years ago. But that was because of a fire that shut down their production facility
1:01:12 swans actually specifically hate kayakers because the motion of a kayaker looks close enough (for a creature with a swan’s brain) to a territory challenge of another swan, because the paddle moving is like wings beating and you’re charging at them 😂😂
Just downloaded NHL24 cuz it’s free on PS+ and I spent 4 hours sorting the leafs roster, editing lines and adjusting the power play faceoffs and pressure and so on, I played 1 game after that and I won 2-1 against the Habs to start my season and I was 👏🏽done for the night. I am 38 years old. Steve is my spirit animal.
The Leafs International Soccer comparison would be either Hungary or Checia (formerly Chek Republic) Both countries are former football giants that used to win trophies and churn out all kinds of homegrown talent. And now only produce 2-4 world class players, or above average players per generation, where as countries like Spain France and Germany produce 20+ of those guys per generation, every generation
According to a recent interview in the 25Stanley podcast, Laraque claims that his style of fighting reduces damages received according to tests he did in comparaison with other NHL face punchers. He says he teached many NHLers what he knows and how to avoid big dammages to the brain and whatnot.
To answer Scotty's Question about re-signing Marner if it was $12M... I would honestly rather trade him this year OR let him walk at the end of the 2024/2025 season and sign three $4M players or two $6M players or four $3M players. I really would.
Adam. Ireland hasn’t been part of GB since it won independence in 1921. Unfortunately, the price Ireland paid was the area currently known as Northern Ireland. 😊🇮🇪
He was naming the historic kingdoms of the United Kingdom, and Ireland was a kingdom whereas Northern Ireland never has been. Plus he quickly corrected to Northern Ireland as the current other bit of the UK of GB and…
Ive got an interesting kayaking story. When I was kayaking off the coast of Maui a humpback whale breached in front of my father and I landing about 6 feet to his left, flipping him over 😅.
Interesting kayak story* - My buddy deep sea fishes from his kayak (not a fancy one either, a regular a$$ kayak) and he hooked a ling cod (look it up, ugly af) and filmed the whole thing with his phone (not a go-pro), including netting it and getting it in the tiny boat. Think about it, the guy is Dr.Octopus.
Most protein shakes will have 20-25 grams per scoop… double scoop is 40-50 grams… you guys should go back and see what Willie nylander weighed when Toronto drafted him… I think he put on 20-30 lbs within 2-3 years. Crazy transformation
People forget that Caps didn't have Bäckström, Kuzi and was without Oshie and Wilson for all/larger parts of the season. Now with healthy and new players + stronger defense, I see him at least getting 30 goals, barring any serious injuries.
In Bob Ogdens defense, he is the only continuous Pk player of the top 5. If Special teams is the key to success Capt Kombucha or Capt Mo, or Will Nill can all be moved for better special teams players I'm more open to hearing the logic of Bob needing muscle on his line to support him for him to succeed and the leafs not willing to make that move, than to say it's the contract and the easiest way out
you talking about these guys having a hard time putting on weight, and describing that kids diet. I think back to working 12 and 14 hour days doing Landscape masonry, just digging holes, mixing concrete by hand, or running stone all day every day. ya I consumed like 4-5000 calories per day in food, and I lost a half pound a week over a summer. But discovered protein powder and just had a couple beers a night, started gaining weight. beer isn't healthy but a heavy beer has lots of calories haha.
Lundell, Luostarinen and Rodrigues combined cap hit for next year is 11 million. Just an example that you can get a decent line with that kind of money
Is that a reference? I'm a new fan (both hockey and SDPN) so I didn't catch it. I was wondering why Steve was able to pull that specific name and nobody teased him about it tho 😂
@@Rhysing close! Bob Ogden was the ministry official who was sent to the Riddle house because of Morfin’s crimes against muggles. We see him in one of the memories Dumbledore shows Harry
Aaron Portzline of The Athletic indicated that the sticking point between McLellen and CBJ was contract length. CBJ supposedly only wanted to give him ~3 years and he didn’t believe that roster would be competitive by then, wanting a 5 year contract instead.
Holy I hope Jesse was just playing around at the beginning and not just looking for something to prove Adam wrong about. That would be someone who’s probably hell to work with if he’s being serious
