BEST OF SDP: Building a team of Connors

BEST OF SDP: Building a team of Connors

weeks ago, many, many, many moons ago, at one of our live events, long before Adam Wild brought it to the table, Natalie and her father said, “You should bring something to the show.” And I’ve been holding back because Adam brought up his his stupid, “Hey, I saw this on Bleacher Report. It’s really cool. Let’s do it.” thing. And I was like, I’m going to hold off till a moment where we get far away from that and we get to do this. It’s the Connors. So Adam, if you remember recently, a couple weeks ago when the season was started, Connors who have scored him. You talked about Connors who and there were four before Conor McDavid and there was four who who scored him and Conor Mcichael could have done it with any fun but they had said something very interesting and it’s that they were able to build the whole NHL team with Connors. That’s crazy. Now, the best I could do, I got two goalenders, two D lines, and three forward groups. Oh my god. Plus one spare in the forward group with only Connors. And you guys, you you guys don’t have this list. Uh I have it in front of me. So, I’m going to That’s the best I could do with current NHLers. I don’t know if their team included ex NHLers or guys who were like retired long ago, but I was able to do it with current NHLers. Three forward groups, two D pairs, two goalenders. Adam and Steve, combine your brains. Get out your marker. Okay. Uh, and what? We only need one. We only need one. Write down your team and see if you can either pass me or at least tie what I’ve created for a team. We got McDavid. So, yeah. Talk this through with the audience so that they can follow along. Oh, yeah. Mcichel Brown. Conor Brown. Uh, oh, Derer. Good one. Now, it’s all spellings of Connor. All So, we get you can do a Connor and a first name, a Connor and last name, a Connor with an S. Kyle Connor, a A Connor with one N, a Connor with two N’s. Kyle Connor. You can get any type of Connor in there as long as somewhere in the name it features Connor. Timonss. Timonss. Uh, on D in net Ingram. Drop. Who’s the second one? That’s That’s gonna be tough. All right. McDavid, Mcichel, Brown. Brown doer. Kyle Connor. Kyle Connor. You’ll need at least nine forwards. Who were the four Connors that scored in Edmonton before I Son of a gun. We need at least nine forwards. Plus, I had a spare forward, so I had 10 forwards. Uh, you guys got what, five so far? Isn’t there another Connor on Edmonton who we’re forgetting? Brown. No, no, no, no. Like one that we’re forgetting. Wasn’t it like three? They have Josh Brown. Uh-huh. No, but that’s the Brown. You already have Connor Brown on there, right? That was an easy one. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, okay. Oh, boy. We’ve hit a bit of a W. You got I’m good. We did good. We had five forwards, one D and one goalie. Okay. Yeah. That’s Connor Zerry. Oh, hey, there you go. There you go. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Forward. Yeah. Forward. Yeah. I’m trying to I’m going through like divisions here. I got to watch more Calgary games. They’re fun. They’re fun. Not anymore. They’re on a four game losing streak. Oh, never mind. Calgary Calgary after not watching a lot of them either apparently after their hot start. They’re right now they’re 54 and one. Yeah. Yeah. They’ve been they were as they’re now as bad as they were good. Yeah. Yeah. No, I pay attention. Timonss endure. I’m trying to think of a Connor in Ottawa. What about like does O’ Conor count? You know what? If we want to count O’ Connors, I can finish my team. Okay. Logan O’Connor. I think that should count. Oh, Connor. He’s a He’s a forward. Oh, he’s a forward. Okay, I can. You’re going to need more space on this board. Yeah, you wrote way too. Here, here. Put the D there. Get your other Get your other whiteboard if you really want to. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I’ll put the D under. That’s a great I forgot the O’ Conors. That adds uh two to my list off the top of my head. Who’s the other one? Logan O’ Conor and I know you guys need the other son of a gun. Okay. Andrew Oconor. I I have I have a full for Drew. No, Kyle. No. Logan Okconor and Drew O’ Conor. Who’s the one on Pittsburgh? I’m just going to tell you. It’s Drew Oconor. It’s Drew. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I don’t I don’t want you. Put times two. Times two. Just put two Oconors cuz I was missing two guys and those two add to my forward group. So I You guys need four lines. We need four forward lines. Yeah. Okay. You can do We got We got We need four more forwards, five more defense, one more goalie. Yeah. You No. Four more defense. Four more. How many do you have? I have one defense. Yeah. You need three more. Three more. Yeah. You need four defense. We’re over half. That’s pretty good. That’s pretty good. Montreal. Michael Connor. Is there not a Michael Connor in in No, there’s like there’s a McCarron. Michael McCarron. Yeah. Uh the O’ Conor thing. That’s probably how they got their full lineup. The Great Thinking. Uh okay. Okay. Okay. Rangers laugher. I’m not getting one. It’s not coming to my head. Um, it’s going to be on like Carolina or something. Islanders. Hurricane. Yeah, I feel like the Hurricanes could have some Connors. Any of the Florida Panthers. Connor Burns. Conor. Could the Panthers have them? And And what about the Lightning, too? Who’s their Who’s their new Connor Burns? No, that was a joke. Are you just throwing? I’m joking. I’m joking. Oh, Jesus, Adam. Hella buck. Oh, nah, there you go. Those are those are my two goalies. Hella Buck and Ingram. That’s a pretty good tandem. One hell of a tandem. Yeah. Hey. Oh. Oh, this guy. Oh. Um. Oh, Jesus. How did I get Ingram before Hellabuck? The freak’s wrong with me? Um, I think it was cuz we got Kyle Connor and then I glossed over it. Um, Philly. They must have Connors. I think they’ve got a Connor there. This That feels like a Connor place. The place to have them. Minnesota feels like a Connor place, too. Yeah, they had Derer. They don’t anymore. This is not a bad team, by the way. This is No, it’s not. The Connor team would be a playoff. The allconer team. If the Connor team was at the World Cup of hockey, would they beat some of Europe? Like the old one, how many national programs would the all Connor team beat? A lot. A lot. Bard, idiots. Jesus, you guys are stupid. I don’t know. Sometimes you reach a block and then you’re like, I can’t. You reach a mental block. How long do people scream bad at? So that’s that’s three full lines we have. That’s crazy. And so through some googling while you guys were doing this, I do have uh my two extra D that are missing, but they’re made up of guys who are not in the NHL right now. So you could do that if you really wanted to go AHL. You can get two guys who played recently but aren’t NHLers and then you could probably fill out the Conors. Connor Shen. She Connor Sherry. Oh [ __ ] Well, oh nice. I was kidding. There’s another forward. No, no. Keep just making up names and then maybe you’ll stumble on something. Connor Smith, Connor Campbell, Connor, [Music] Marash Nachenko, Chris Lekers. Yeah. You put down Corey Connors. Wait, isn’t there a Cory? Professional golfer. Oh [ __ ] Canadian. Is there a Connor? How do we feel about Charlie Coner? No. Damn. Oh, no. I know. Is there a Connors? Oh, there might be a Connors. There’s a lot of Connor. That’s not one I can think of. Okay. Oh, man. I’m going to tell you right now, I have no Connors on my list. Okay. The only Connors I right now googling there’s a Bob Connors who played uh for the New York Americans in 1926 27. This is great. I love this. Are there Connors hiding on Utah? Such a forgotten team. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? What about Mick Connor? Who’s Clayton Keller? No. Mick Connor. Yeah. Jim Mconor. Payton Barrett MC Conor Logan Connory Logan Logan Connor Logan Oh man, Logan Oconor is a guy. You know what? He’s already on your list. Why don’t we uh Why don’t we just call it? Do we have to call it? Oh, you’re going to fail. No, we’re not going to fail. I’ll give you one one minute of brainstorming. We’re gonna We need a defenseman. Yeah, you guys you guys are struggling with the defense. Defense is weird. Who do you have? Connor Chimmons. Oh, how was that the only one? Yeah. No, think defense. Think Connor. Think defense. Frig. Like anyone on the blues, sod and chin. It’s harder than you think when you’re put on this. It’s terrible. It’s Yeah. Uh like Krug. Obviously not. Uh you’re missing you’re missing a former Leaf, Connor Carrick. Oh [ __ ] Oh no. I forgot he was still playing, but he is. He’s uh he’s in the AHL right now. He has played no games this season, but he’s in the system of There’s also a former Connor. Is is Connor Carrick not in the You’re thinking of Sam Carrick, aren’t you? Yes. He plays for Who’s Bakersfield? Oh, the Conor Edmonson. Edmonton. There you go. So, yeah, Connor Carrick’s uh with the AHL team in Edmonton. So, he’s a nice guy. I liked Connor Carrick. Played with the uh Coachelli Valley Firebirds last season. one game with the Bruins in 2223 is the last time Connor Carrick played in the NHL. Shane Wright, but he counts for the purpose of this game. Manny Beneers. Who the hell do they have on D? I don’t know. Let’s just call it. All right. Ah, damn. Um, let me just pull up who is the taking that long with Bedard and Hella Buck. Okay. So, I’ll I’ll read out the names. Give me what you got. Give me what you got. Okay. So, we got McDavid, Mcichel, Connor Brown, Connor Der, Kyle Connor, Connor Ziri. Go a little slower for me. Sorry. Oh, sorry. McDavid. Mhm. Mcichel. Mhm. Connor Brown. Mhm. Connor Der. Mhm. Kyle Connor. Mhm. Connor Ziri. Kyle. Yeah. Logan O’Connor. Logan. Who was the other guy? Drew Ocon. Drew Oconor. Yeah. Connor Bedard. Yeah. Connor Shiri. Mhm. Okay. That’s the forward group. Almost an entire forward. Who else did we miss? And then you got Carrick and Tim’s on D. All right. And then Hleuck and Ingram. Okay. We’re missing three forwards to D. I think off the top of her head that’s pretty good. Pretty pretty darn good. My forward group I think of of the missing you guys are only missing two guys in the forward group. Oh, I had Garland. Oh, Conor Garland and Connor Geeki. [ __ ] Oh, and then I [ __ ] I uh I deleted the the extra guy I had. My bad. Um, and then for the defense, Connor Carrick, Connor Timonss, Connor Murphy, the Black Ops defenseman. Connor Clifton. Oh, yeah. Where’s he now? Boston still. I believe he’s a Boston. Yeah, Connor Clifton. So, there you go. That’s it. But yeah, that’s the the that’s the full uh four forwards, right? One, two, three, four. Yeah. Four is McDavid, Connor, Zary, Badard, Derer, Brown. Those are the first two lines. Third line is Geeky, Drew, and Logan. Fourth line, Mcichel, Sherry, Garland. Yep. That’s four lines. That’s crazy. A forwards Connor. And then we did the 4 D. And then Hella Buck and Ingram. And then if you really want to stretch, you could do Connor Karen who was drafted by the Vegas Golden Knights. Still plays in the EHL right now. Like there’s a there’s a guy who’s not in the NHL. And then there’s Connor McKay, I believe, who played a couple years ago with the Rangers. If you really want to stretch for 2D, you could just go to the Ample two Connors. But like it’s really two pairs of D’s, a full forward group, and two goalenders. All Connor. Man, that was a lot of fun. That’s fun. Dylan Mack Connor ref. Yeah.
