56:06 Is that Triple H?
Wow. Jesse and Steve. I'm proud of you guys. My children have grown up. Kudos to you two + Adam. But, especially Steve just shows how hard work, determination and passion can have you interviewing a top 3 defenseman in the past 10 years.
Premier League does not not, and has never had playoffs. The second tier league Championship has playoffs to Decide which teams play in the premier League next season but the first two in the regular season promote automatically. MLS is the only league with playoffs in soccer.
Montreal gets an impact player now and a much needed offensive boost. The Habs are in a window now with Weber (and I think Price) where the next five years are their chance to go for it. This definitely helps that.
Tampa gets rid of a problem relationship and adds a solid defensive prospect they do not have to protect. I am guessing they are preferring to spend their money keeping Johnson and Palat around. Same with namestnikov who should only get better and is a centre.
Overall a good hockey trade and necessary for both teams.
Finally, nice to see you guys interviewing by a current player. Hope it can happen again. Although I thought the interview was boring mainly because you asked two very dumb questions that you shouldn't have known would have blah answers (the Olympic question and the one even Doighty did not understand). Expecting more from your future interviews.
Jesse is a smar man for recognizing the flaw in the rumour. The actual trade makes the most sense and that's what happened
I suddenly want Lays potato chips…
Also, if you're going to do era-adjusted numbers, would you also be able to analyze points scored based on standard deviations from the mean in each season? Goals may have been less special at times, but Gretzky did nearly double the guy in second place in points.
Domi has a 50 goal season in Junior!!
English teams play for
A) premier league title, where the team with the most points at end of reg season wins
B) FA cup, where all English teams from all divisions play each other in a large tournament
C) Europa League where 5&6 placed team play against other high-placed European teams- winner makes champions league
D) European Cup / Champions League- ultimate tournament, top 64 European clubs seeded in tournament against each other based on past seasons league standings and get drawn into groups, play through until 1 club wins (Real Madrid this year just a couple weeks ago)
I expected it to be like Luke Glendening or Matt Martin, some plug, but DREW DOUGHTY?!? Nice pull guys!
Interesting comment about off season conditioning. Anecdotal, but it would be interesting to have data on that.
Dangle's over reactions and unfunny tried-too-hard-type jokes hurt me sometimes. 🙁
Wow the picture in the thumbnail has Steve taking a picture with his head turned up and mouth wide open. Never seen him take a picture like that before!
Wow Drew Doughty!? If you can have more NHL players (not necessarily big stars like him), I'll definitely watch more of your podcasts 😛
"We want PK" :)))
Don't listen to Jesse. You are doing it the right way as a goalie. Thats how Marty Brodeur did it!
im the same way steve (goalie catcher/shooting)
Most of the goalies that catch southpaw have the dopest pads, but usually suck. Steve Mason, Rick Dipietro, etc.
Eh Steve you should do something with Camp Oochigeas I feel like it would be super cool to give back.
Funny how both the Habs acquired drouin who was in the a contract dispute and the Sens did the same thing with Turris. Hopefully he'll be as good Turris was for the Sens.
"I've never seen my son…he's eight." hahahahaha
Jesse is so great at interviews. his questions are really genuine and i can see the guest relax when he asks them what they had for breakfast or something
re: goalie handedness thing:
Think it would have more of an impact on the defense and defensive zone breakouts.
I played goalie for years and I have the same issue with catching/shooting where I have to flip my hands so my blocker is on the bottom. My problem is I write with my left hand but my right hand is my dominant hand so I never learned how to catch with my right hand. It made playing the puck in a game situation incredibly difficult
nobodys talking about who the mystery phone camera person was at the begenning of the video.
Soccer comments , no one cares about your sport here
doughty is a pussy
There's no such thing as a heavy shot. It's either fast or slow, and the faster it is the heavier it will feel because the force is equal to mass times acceleration.
We had full brawls in elementary school
Get Patrik Laine!
So to clear up the football/soccer thing;
All leagues globally, with the exception of the MLS, operate on a tier system, nearly every country has their own tier system, so for instance England has a 1st division (premier league), 2nd division ( The Championship), 3rd division (league 1), 4th division (league 2), 5th division (league 3), and so on and so forth until it hits the armature ranks, sort of confusing with how it’s labeled, but that’s out of my hands.
Every nation’s individual divisions has their own trophy for who ever finishes top of the table at seasons end, with obviously the top tier’s coveted the most. Each country’s top tier does not have a play off, the best team is who ever sits top of the table at seasons end.
The bottom 3-4 teams in each tier, depending on the tier, get relegated at seasons end, so in England’s Premier League, the bottom 3 teams go down to the second tier for the following season, and the top two teams come up from the 2nd tier. Where does the 3rd team come from to equal out the 3 teams that got relegated, you ask? Well in the English 2nd tier there is a 4 team playoff between the teams that finished 3rd through 6th, to figure out who gets included in league promotion. This is why a playoff in football isn’t really considered anything special. If you think about it a playoff only determines who comes 3rd in, at best, the second tier of any given country’s tier system. This is probably why you get the funny looks when you’re like “YEAH PLAYOFFS!” to that Irish guy at the pub.
However there is sort of a playoff for club teams that is extremely coveted, this is called the Champions League.
The top 2-4 teams in each country qualify for the champions league, depending on the individual country’s talent depth. So top countries like England, Germany, Italy, naturally have more teams that qualify for this competition compared to a country like Denmark for instance, with a smaller talent depth. Every continent has their own version of this trophy. TFC is currently competing in the North American version of this competition in the Concacaf Champions League, (CCL), as the current winners of the MLS championship. The “coupe des clubs”, (the trophy awarded to the winner of the European competition), I would consider the equivalent of the Stanley cup. It’s the winner of europe’s best of the best club teams. And if you think about it, it’s won over two seasons, this, in my opinion, makes it quite a bit harder to win then the Stanley cup also.
Back to individual countries, typically every country will have its own sort of cup that is totally separate from league play, but games are scattered throughout the reason instead of just at the end. And this type of tournament typically starts off with teams amongst the lower tiers battling it out at the start of the season slowly knocking each other out in one game knockouts, and as your team wins the higher tiers slowly get mixed in. Nowadays the higher tier teams typically play reserve type players in these competitions, because they are probably the lowest priority trophy to go after, with this being said, it’s not uncommon to see a 4th or 5th tier team make it nearly to the end of this type of competition, making for a real Cinderella story.
Teams at the highest of echelons typically have there choice of 3-5 trophies to target at the beginning of every season, some much more coveted then others, but all the competitions produce some very interesting matchups and even more interesting results.
Hope this clears the air on how non monopolized sports systems work 😉
Keep up the good work boys.
I love Adam but it's kinda fun seeing a podcast with just Steve and Jesse. I feel like Steve is more calm without Adam and it's interesting seeing this different feel for the podcast.
I know it's two years later but Clarkson was just traded back to toronto lmfao
