Speaker
Good evening and welcome to the s Senegoth Lounge. I'm Luke. I'm joined, as always, and also for the first time in some ways, by James.
00:00:21
Speaker
And andd like to invite you to sit back, relax, pull up the easy chair, order a drink, and just fill your mind palace.
00:00:34
Speaker
with some takes and thoughts about your Ottawa Senators.
Mixed Feelings about the Ottawa Senators
00:00:38
Speaker
James, how are you? Each day is one crushing defeat after another until you just wish Flanders was dead, but I'm glad to be here with you and everyone at home or operating a forklift right now listening to this.
00:00:54
Speaker
ah Kick off your hideous on-running sneakers and ah relax and... Warm yourself by this bonfire of takes.
00:01:06
Speaker
ah Senegoth Lounge open for business, episode one, the fan zone menace. you know ah
00:01:16
Speaker
Let's get into it. First of all, my on running shoes are personally designed by Roger Federer and that man's a Swiss. Those are the only nice ones. I mean, it's a Swiss national treasure. I i will not have you besmirching on running shoes.
00:01:32
Speaker
ah Second of all, the Ottawa Senators.
Belleville Senators and Ottawa's Season
00:01:36
Speaker
I love them. You love them. Have you ah heard any news about how they're doing? Yeah. ah Before we get into it, I just want to point something out. is You know who is killing it on the Belleville Sens low-key?
00:01:52
Speaker
Tell me. I haven't checked the Belleville Sens stats once this season. See, I got your ass. That's how you know the season's going pretty good. you know You don't know what the fuck is going on in Belleville. like I am watching Belleville Senators games like the Zapruder film when the Sens are absolute dog shit. I know how the fourth line is doing, killing penalties. What's the backup goalie's record versus GAA? It's like... I don't give a fuck about the Belleville Senators anymore. Just like I didn't care about them in the mid-2000s. I remember being like, Ray Emery? Okay, this is crazy enough to work. I don't know who that is. I'm happy to be back.
00:02:43
Speaker
ah They called up a Hayden Hogson. i have no idea who that is. He's a human male. And you know what? That's good. yeah that's a That's a good thing.
00:02:56
Speaker
like You shouldn't be pinning your hopes and dreams to Lassie Thompson or whatever. you know Yeah, we tried that already. Also, Latsy Thompson, welcome back.
Eastern Division Standings Analysis
00:03:06
Speaker
Again?
00:03:07
Speaker
i think, ah let's check the old standings right now. We're recording on the 22nd of November. And Ottawa's chillin' 8th in the East.
00:03:21
Speaker
They're tied in points with the Lightning. Who? The Lightning of Tampa Bay. ah Let's see. They have exactly 67 goals for and 67 goals against.
00:03:37
Speaker
I'm looking at this division standings right now. And something jumps out to me. Most of these teams are kind of dog shit.
00:03:48
Speaker
And i'm I'm going to tell you how I know. Of the eight teams in the Eastern Division, sorry, in the Atlantic Division, only one of them even has a positive goal differential.
00:04:00
Speaker
Yeah, that would be the Lightning. Yeah, where're they're they're up a monstrous plus four. That's insane. Yeah. Everyone else is either exactly even or minus, including the Detroit Red Wings, who are somehow second in the division.
00:04:19
Speaker
Just to do Pepsi challenge shit, ah the Avalanche are a tidy plus 34 in their goal differential, you know, cruising along on a seven game winning streak. I think they've given up one goal in, it's like they've got one regulation loss or something absolutely preposterous. Yeah. 14 wins, one loss, five
Critiquing NHL Teams
00:04:44
Speaker
overtime. loss That's silly.
00:04:46
Speaker
I thought Andrew Hammond was retired. this What the fuck? Okay. Fuck y'all. Yo, by the way, fuck you. Fuck yourself. I hate you. Maybe there'll be like the 2008 senators that looked unstoppable for 25 games and then just had every single wheel fall off at the same time.
00:05:07
Speaker
that would be That would be nice. Unfortunately, maybe Nathan McKinnon's got more juice than... Jason Spetsa did at the time. Whatever. Fuck the Avalanche. Also, fuck these other teams at the Atlantic.
00:05:20
Speaker
Boston. Who do you have? Who are we up against with Boston? Okay, David Pasternak is pretty good. And then they've got Morgan Ikey, whoever the hell that is.
00:05:34
Speaker
I guess that's their young guy. You know that guy's bear to play with a play against. like The guy had to grow up with the last name Geeky. like you know You know that guy can fight. right And then the bottom of their lineup is just like Ottawa's old lineup.
00:05:49
Speaker
ah like they got They got the boy Mark Kastelik hanging around. These guys are basically this the Leafs, but less nice with it. Or they've got the big boys upstairs and then they just a bunch of flavorless gruel down the lineup.
00:06:04
Speaker
I don't know. Uh, Yunus Korpisalo could still surprise you. I mean, he has surprised me in the sense that he's started nine games so far. That's a surprise to me.
00:06:15
Speaker
They must not look forward to that, to his games. I'll tell you that for free. Anyway, that's, that's who's, uh, that's who's leading the division. the The very unserious Detroit Red Wings are up one point on your beloved Ottawa's Senatodes.
Ottawa Senators' Recent Performance
00:06:32
Speaker
With one more game played too, so that barely even counts.
00:06:35
Speaker
Ottawa gets a big W tonight, and we leapfrog them. And I know we bring this up every time, but it's we need to mention it. This is a team with Travis Hamidick on it.
00:06:49
Speaker
And Jacob Barnyard-Docker as well. They want to be us so bad, but they're trying to be us so bad in a way that you should not be us so bad They're trying to be us and they're so bad.
00:07:03
Speaker
Yeah, they want to be us, comma, so bad. ah Alex Dobrynkatz, a point per game. Who gives a shit? Still a minus two. I watched that guy for a season. Has ah strong Wasteman tendencies.
00:07:19
Speaker
Absolute monster in the playoffs. Of course, it' j k doing a goalie tandem split between John Gibson and come Tablet.
00:07:30
Speaker
Another former senator, just in case you forgot. ah Yeah, not a serious team. Fuck these guys with extreme prejudice. Even their best young defensive Moritz Seider.
00:07:42
Speaker
He's basically he's basically got as many points as Artem Zub. Zub has 10. Moritz Seider has 12. Not a serious team. Isn't that Ben Chariot guy? ah Like, didn't Habs fans hate that guy like five years ago? Yeah, of course. Isn't he on like their first pairing or something?
00:08:01
Speaker
let Let me check. that's I thought there was no way that Ben Chariot could possibly even have that many minutes. Let's see. Okay, he's there he's their number three defenseman.
00:08:12
Speaker
Not a serious team. No. Yeiserplan... ah is this the Yeiser scam. yeah yeah Steve Yeiser fraud is perpetrating the Yeiser scam in Detroit. ah Don't be fooled.
00:08:28
Speaker
This ah minus five goal differential they have is very real. ah i'm Not worried about those guys. Boasting a ah solid four, five and one in their last 10. ah Tampa Bay Lightning, they're kind of good.
00:08:41
Speaker
We can move on. I can't, I honestly, the Tampa Bay Lightning are so boring that I can't even think of anything to say about them. They're fine. Like we, they need to sit a few seasons out like, and I don't know, just like go reinvent your, they need to eat, pray, love or something. Fuck fuck you guys.
00:09:02
Speaker
Tampa Bay is not a real place. They're kind of, how Detroit used to be where you just look at their lineup and it's just a bunch of like faceless kill bots where you're like, all right, I guess they can roll four lines and they don't really have any weaknesses, but also fuck you guys.
00:09:18
Speaker
Yeah. Fuck you guys. Tampa Bay's still good. ah The Ottawa Senators. Immaculate lineup, perfect in every way. a Best looking team in the league. By a mile.
00:09:30
Speaker
Zero trace amounts of piss consumed. Piss-free since 1993, minus one. How are our Sens doing? A good goal differential of zero, you know, keeping it nice and
Lineup Analysis and Player Focus
00:09:44
Speaker
even. Yeah.
00:09:45
Speaker
but 5-2-3 in their last 10. That's great. They've had no Kachuk. Kachuk has played three games. we need to so We need to kind of reorient our ideas about that's racist what a what a good team is.
00:10:04
Speaker
Because it's been so long since we had one. It's true. And, you know, we've been following this season pretty closely and the Sens are doing, are having a real, you know, catch one, drop one, to have a beer season so far. where They win one, then they lose in overtime, then they win one, they lose in regulation, then they win one, then they lose in overtime, then they win one, then they lose in regulation. Maybe they'll go on a little winning streak, little losing streak. Like, for instance, like, in the last 10, they've got five wins, ah two regulation losses, and three overtime losses.
00:10:40
Speaker
So, on the surface, that sounds like 500 hockey, because, you know, they've got as many wins as losses, but but we can't discount these the importance of these loser points.
00:10:53
Speaker
Hell no. That's a... you know, save the pennies and watch the dimes add up kind of stat line. Yeah, like, loser points are going putting our kids through college this season. i'm going to tell you that for free.
00:11:06
Speaker
Yeah, that's the tax-free savings account of the NHL. I forget what it was. i Look, I... I'm not doing research for anyone, ah myself included. But I do remember seeing some really frustrating ah standings.
00:11:23
Speaker
I think Boston might have been a violator of this a few years ago where they had an absolutely... mayonnaise record but they had this insane cash of overtime losses like 14 overtime losses and like put them snugly in playoff spot yeah if we're that team don't give a fuck i i just wanted just wanted a ticket to the damn dance to go to
00:11:53
Speaker
Reiterate my point, like five wins, two losses, three overtime losses, their last 10. Doesn't sound that great. If you project that over a full season, that's 107 points. If Linus Allmark figures out how to not lose in overtime, we're laughing.
00:12:10
Speaker
Let the other team have the loser point. Well said. He was great the other night in Anaheim, by the way. I agree. I'm glad. i I've always believed in him. that's i think Sometimes I say that ironically, but this time I actually mean it.
00:12:26
Speaker
Linus Allmark ah is zaddy. That's true. We believe in Linus Allmark. Also, Levy Marilinen has been good in his spot duty as well.
00:12:38
Speaker
It's funny because these guys still have save percentages that are like, They're insane. It's like they have but they basically have trace trace amounts of saves, right? it's like where It's like the three parts per million level of saves. And yet, but if you ask me, it's like, oh, have they've been good in their last five games, though. We got this shit turned around. And also, like I said, sends the playoff spot.
00:13:00
Speaker
Eight, six and eight, sevens. Like, are those the years that you posted those save percentages? like Like, uh... Glenn Healy up in here playing in wet street hockey equipment, standing up straight in the net. Yeah.
00:13:20
Speaker
Jeff Pang, five foot one goalie ass, same percentage.
00:13:26
Speaker
Gretzky coming down the wing and shooting it along the ice and it just goes under your pad. Yeah, Gretzky pulls up to his waist and absolutely hammers a 68 mile an hour slap shot over the head of the five foot six goalie.
00:13:49
Speaker
It's been such a weird season because you can see a lot of stats, especially the goalie stats, where it's like, oh, that looks kind of bad. I'd like to see that improve.
00:14:00
Speaker
And then you look at the standings and it's like, OK, well, we're doing this well when we have no goaltending. If we get any goaltending at all, like we're laughing. First round bye, here we come. They won't even make us play the wildcard round.
00:14:13
Speaker
Damn, that would be great. Who else we got? Florida Panthers. Let's get back to hating. Yeah, Florida Panthers. All right. Fuck you and your new podcast.
00:14:25
Speaker
Yeah. Matthew Kachuk. Fuck every Florida Panther and its entourage. I mean, i guess they're I guess they're also technically good because they're the defending champs or whatever. Just imagine me making a wanking motion like so powerful it alters the Earth's rotation.
00:14:44
Speaker
i say that it's It's a daily humiliation to have to hear like two teams from Florida spoken of in glowing terms. Like, God, what am I spending my time doing here? You know, at least we're at least we're finally openly talking about.
00:15:01
Speaker
At least I prefer to openly talk about this. People are just saying, like, players like signing there because of the taxes. Like, we don't have to to we don't have to pretend like the GMs are super geniuses anymore. We're just like, that tax code, though.
00:15:15
Speaker
Florida seems like a really awesome place with a lot of very cool culture outside Miami. like i gets Florida must go crazy if you're rich and the dumbest person on earth.
00:15:26
Speaker
Florida rocks when your only hobby is playing golf, I guess. Yeah. Anyway, ah fuck you guys, the Panthers. ah Oh, what's this? Who's up next? The Canadians?
00:15:39
Speaker
like yeah Oh, this is what what what? What was that? What was that? I swear, weren't these guys talking cash shit? Not two weeks ago.
00:15:50
Speaker
Yeah, it seems like we are metaphorically stepping into the cellar of the division. And I got to say, it's stankin in here. what What was that? but said suddenly Suddenly things aren't going so great as soon as you ah as soon as you suffer a couple injuries?
00:16:10
Speaker
What was that? Say what now? like You guys pulled a muscle in your back sucking yourselves off after the first 10 days
Atlantic Division Team Critiques
00:16:16
Speaker
of the season and now that now what's going on? What was that bro? Say what?
00:16:21
Speaker
Say what now? I'm like... i feel I feel justified. it i i could never bring myself to respect someone named Sam Montemble. And I feel like ah my hatred is starting to pay off now that he is ah wrapped around the turlet of the NHL.
00:16:44
Speaker
So I picked up, so I'm in a Dynasty Fantasy League Alright, you have 25 seconds to talk about this, starting now. Okay, I've had Sam Montembeau on my team, because I heard he was going to be good.
00:16:59
Speaker
And then last year he was. This year he's in the Turlet. Everything I know about the Habs comes down to when I check my like fantasy team on Monday morning and I see how their goalie's doing. And every week it's like 500 save percentage, no wins.
00:17:19
Speaker
ah Somehow I got negative points from goalies this week. That's the deal with Sam Montembeau. You're going to be riding that waiver wire and picking up Anton Forsberg to right the ship.
00:17:32
Speaker
i These guys are... so insanely fraudulent. i can it drive It drives me nuts. yeah Look, I get it. They were last year too. I get it. You've got five good players and those players are very good.
00:17:46
Speaker
i I'm an Ottawa Senators fan. you know I know what it's like to have five good players. I've watched that team before. Guess what? That team wasn't good either. You know what they've they've been saying and they've just been harping on it for years now. If you want to win, you got to be big and long. And you know what? I'm going to take a time out in the middle of this. ah Can we stop with the fucking long description of NHL players? And it's not a gay thing. If it were up to me, hockey would be like 70% gayer than it is. It's just the fucking stupidest sounding thing. I was listening to, I don't know if you heard these other sentence podcasts, one worse than the next. But i heard i heard a player described as a big, long tree the other day. Like, shh. Shut the fuck off. Like, what are we doing?
00:18:36
Speaker
Is this not of dumb terminology in hockey already? Like, yeah, big, a big long defense. Like, yeah, I get that it means rangy. It's like, yeah, he was six foot five with a little T-Rex arms. Like, we're just, you know, like six foot five, mostly torso, little ass legs. Are you familiar with Johnny got his gun?
00:19:01
Speaker
Yeah, he's like that guy after he stepped on the landmine. Anyway, yeah, are these little fellas good?
00:19:11
Speaker
you know Individually? Yeah, they're good. yeah Listen, you don't think I want to go into the playoffs against a team where the best forward and the best defenseman are like 5'7"? Bring it. like ring Bring it. I don't give a fuck Lane Hudson's highlight reel.
00:19:33
Speaker
If we get the Habs in the playoffs, we are taking those hobbits to Isengard. I'm telling you right now. I don't advocate for the use of ah any of this AI slop, but I have half mine to render up like Brady Kachuk flipping the puck over Lane Hudson's head and meeting him in the corner to retrieve it. Yeah, right. Yeah.
00:19:56
Speaker
That sounds pretty sick, actually. That's my AI girlfriend. I'm not we're not going to generate that with AI, but we are going to play it on our on a loop ah in the projector of our mind palace.
00:20:09
Speaker
Yeah, the original AI. Yeah. Just, or as I like to call it, I. ah That's why you tune into this thing for i the original man.
00:20:24
Speaker
I wish, man, Hayden on the Habs is so fun. I hate them. They're so shit. Down here in the cellar. I'm trying to move on and I'm look at how bad these guys are.
00:20:37
Speaker
It smells like a fucking the the dumpster behind La Belle Provence back here. It's crazy. Are we supposed to pretend that Uri Slavkovsky is good? like Not only are we supposed to pretend, but he's actually their best player. That's how good the SAB. Damn, that's depressing. That's how good the Habs are. That's what I'm saying. That's fucking depressing.
00:21:00
Speaker
like Actually starting to feel bad now. but i so but Just kidding. as Best player if you ask the fancy stats. is i mean, obviously, like Nick Suzuki has like the most points.
00:21:11
Speaker
Oliver Kapanen? I don't know her. Speaking of AI, they made a new Jack-Eye guy. Oof. it It's a little bit embarrassing that Ottawa did trade for ah a tough guy just because of Jack Eye, but then I'm like, you know what, whatever.
00:21:32
Speaker
If we have to see these guys six times a year or whatever, know, whatever.
Frustrations with Other Teams
00:21:35
Speaker
we can We can send out a big dumb guy to fight their big dumb guy. and Yeah. i'm not I don't have to write those checks.
00:21:43
Speaker
No. Moving on. Who's this next line? At the bottom of the Atlantic? We're descending into the sub-basement and I gotta say, it be reeking like piss down here.
00:21:56
Speaker
Stale, deep yellow piss. we're We're coming in, this is ah basically ah ah Dante's Inferno, ah but we're just going down and into the, I believe, the sixth level of sub-basement.
00:22:11
Speaker
It's the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Tianto Leafs. Who I want to be clear is actually being written as a metaphor for ah a guy who turned out to be the Pope. In the exclusive... ah group chat for your beloved Senegoth Lounge podcast. We were having a little bit of fun with it.
00:22:33
Speaker
RIP Simmer. ah About that guy. What the fuck? I don't even know his fucking name. Let me just get a number crunch on what this guy's name is.
00:22:46
Speaker
Kendall Roy. Uh... kendall roy ah Kendall Roy whoever they traded is he not even in the list of players on this thing Nicholas okay yeah the guy they traded Mitch Marner for it yeah the guy they traded Mitch Marner for Kendall Roy and he had the same stat line as Brady Kachuk and Brady Kachuk has played three games this year that was the best they got they both have three points like I remember
00:23:16
Speaker
like We we temporarily temporarily ran out of the the precious mineral of copium where I was watching these pundits be like, you know, Kendall Roy low-key nice with it. like Toronto has picked up a tiny little player here. like Yeah, they won't miss those 100-plus points. Because they got Kendall Roy now. like yeah got ah Look, there's a guy who puts up 100 plus points, ah plays on the power play and the PK, but it's fine.
00:23:56
Speaker
We can get Kendall And what's this? Goal differential. Minus five. yeah Just all around nice with it. RIP to... ah RIP to these guys. Logan Roy. yeah Spoiler.
00:24:15
Speaker
like i mean, i guess it's kind of tough. They're also missing some guys because of injuries. I can't relate to that. It it is funny that it's okay. I guess we have to have ah all right. ah Nicholas Roy and his three points. You are on the second line now.
00:24:33
Speaker
ah Max, Max Domi might try him at center. Oh wait, nevermind. That's a maximum. Max dome piece. Yeah. That guy's player photo is just like all forehead.
00:24:46
Speaker
This must be the... Oh, so that's where the maximum comes in. Guy looking like a garbage pail kid and playing on the right team for that nickname. Is this a team we have to worry about at all? Allegedly, the window. I think we can just roll out. I think these guys are just going to suck for the whole year. How where's how are they going to turn it around? Who's going to come through the door to rescue them?
00:25:06
Speaker
I guess Matthews can come back.
Future Prospects of the Ottawa Senators
00:25:08
Speaker
Yeah, these guys, yeah, this is the exact same thing as Boston. It's just like five good dudes. Every team in this division is five good dudes. Holy we shit. Oh, that's not true, actually. We have one more team to talk about. Do we?
00:25:19
Speaker
Who did I miss? We already talked about the AHL, but I guess we have to go back there and discuss the Buffalo Sabres, the AHL leading Buffalo Sabres. All right. we who Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on sec. I got something to say about this.
00:25:34
Speaker
ah The Buffalo Sabres are a professional ice hockey team based in Buffalo, New York. The Sabres compete in the National Hockey League as a member of the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference. The team was established in 1970 along with the Vancouver Canucks when the league expanded to 14 teams.
00:25:50
Speaker
I think that says it all right there. What else is there to say? I mean, they are firmly entrenched in the basement of this division.
00:26:03
Speaker
hi My favorite thing about the Buffalo Sabres
00:26:10
Speaker
talking about like pulling a back muscle sucking your own it's like every time they're talking it's like i have to listen to like how good all of these players on the team are like and i'm not i'm not like out to lunch like yeah tage thompson or owen power like nick cousins has been great uh are Sorry, Dylan Cousins has been like um great in that he actually is going to continue playing in the NHL. ah
00:26:46
Speaker
ah and then No shade to the guy that we traded to get Dylan Cousins. But like I don't have to give a fuck about anyone on this team being good when they they can't even like play their way ah out of the fucking sub sub sub basement of the this division their goal differential right now is minus seven and that's one and that's with having just beaten chicago nine to three
00:27:22
Speaker
That's insane. They beat us eight to four. They put and they put it that's troll we fuck i forgot about they put a nine burger on the fucking Blackhawks, an eight burger on the Sens, and they're still at a minus seven.
00:27:36
Speaker
By the way, Sens, if you want to put up a touchdown on a team, that'd be great. I could spiritually use that. Well, I think that's ah that's why people are freaking out, right? Is that, you know, the team's doing fine, but like, they're it seems like they're getting through on hopes and wishes and they haven't had too many actual, like, stompings.
00:27:57
Speaker
how How do you feel about that? ah I'm going to polish this take off. I'm the first person to say this out loud. I think Fabian Zetterlund got to get the bats going a little bit. man favorite i'm Look, Fabian Zetterlund...
00:28:13
Speaker
I have fully given up on. I'm not mad at him, to be clear. Like, he can he can still turn it around in my eyes, but I have no longer watched Fabian Zetterlund thinking this is a guy who we have to, who we'll be right relying on going forward. That's that's over. Fabian Zetterlund to me is he might have a nice game, and I would think, yeah, that was a nice play from Fabian Zetterlund, but I can't expect him to score.
00:28:41
Speaker
And that's that's good because he fucking does not. I thought the best take was from the illustrious Luke Hortense. Peristi was no, thank you was Fabian Zetterlin looks great, like maximum effort, smart little plays, finishes the game zero points minus three. ah Dylan Cousins looks like absolute dog shit. Finishes the game one goal and two assists.
00:29:11
Speaker
That's like they're balancing each other out. It's like a net zero. like I don't know. i I still this is how I am just freebasing copium right now. was like i I still think this guy's like in some fucked up slump right now. Like I think, i this is where I'm at with Zetterlund, I guess, is that remember when Brian Gibbons got called up to the Sands and scored like 10 goals from like... I think it was, unfortunately, I think it was worse than that. I think he like scored those 10 goals in preseason.
00:29:51
Speaker
And then we were like, well, you have to have Brian Gibbons make the team out of camp because like he scored 10 goals. like Let's remember some guys. Help Wikipedia by expanding this stub.
00:30:03
Speaker
Yo, this guy is amazing looking. He looks like a carpet salesman. He will he looks like a a clone of like Ryan Kessler that escaped from storage the fuck I wonder what ah Ryan Kessler is up to these days. so I'm not going to Google that right now. listener, I urge you to type those words into your mobile device. That's a little Easter egg for all for all you guys.
00:30:32
Speaker
ah Yeah. content Content warning if you decide to Google Ryan Kessler. But I think they called him up for the end of the season. 20 games, 14 points. Anyway, what I'm saying here is i have definitely landed on like, yes, Zeland had that big season with, um you know, the the Sharks. But, ah you know, it's...
00:30:59
Speaker
somebody gonna score some goals on a shitty ass team you know probably getting tons of ice time tons of power play time also not to uh not to give it up to ah jason york here but something he said that stuck with me a lot is that like when you're on a bad team yeah you can afford to cheat cheat a bit yeah uh because like who gives a fuck cheating the game does he bring that up from time to time I think I've heard him say it. And also big, long, rangy players. Wait, maybe I'm thinking, sorry, i maybe I've got fucking Cork Bishop confused with Brian Givens. Luke, are you telling me you've never seen three ninjas kick back?
00:31:41
Speaker
You've never seen three ninjas too? You got it. It is phenomenal. Leslie Nielsen is the villain.
00:31:55
Speaker
ah Where were we we? We lost the plot here. We were talking about how maybe ah me babies maybe maybe Fabie stats were a little inflated.
00:32:13
Speaker
it's maybe in Maybe in Zetterland. That's this's the new nickname. It's like plus minus is plus minus is not a great reliable stat until you see like 82 games, 44 points, dash 34. Like, yeah, the team was bad, but like they they didn't have like cholera, right? Yeah, you might have been cheating a bit.
00:32:38
Speaker
ah Anyway, the good news is that we don't have to sign him long term if we don't want to.
Strategy and Management Insights
00:32:48
Speaker
oh wait, hang on a sec. I'm being told right now that he's in the first year of a a three-year deal that pays him $4.3 million dollars a year.
00:32:58
Speaker
It is funny, though, because I saw, like... yeah all I was listening to... know if you listen to these other Sands podcasts, but... you know, it like he's got this big contract now. Like that is not a big contract. Like it is like it's a pretty mid contract. Like he's not he's not performing up to it. But like this is not like Zach Parise in Minnesota like numbers here. It's like if he's in the bottom six, ah like who it's not my money. Like it' it's not exactly like
00:33:37
Speaker
destroying the cap space this is basically the same thing as zach smith making three million dollars a year in 2019 perfect comparable whereas like zach smith would put up like 19 goals one year and then the next year have two you And like a nice, useful player. But I mean, he's not like he's not like Jonathan Cheechu where you're like, damn, you have had too many sports hernias. Like it hurts to watch you skate now. You know, like it's like he's a perfectly useful player. And we do have one of those guys on the team, to be clear.
00:34:18
Speaker
of Folks, I'm talking about Nick Jensen. but Let's be fair. It was it hip resurfacing. Which is... Look, it's a real injury. Much less serious. Right? That's why I'm saying you shouldn't be playing. I'm not a doctor.
00:34:37
Speaker
Anyway, Fabian Sederland, get well, get well soon. We hope your hands get well. um Maybe in Sederland. Maybe. Maybe then, Sederland.
00:34:49
Speaker
what What the fuck were we talking about? Were we done making fun of the Buffalo Sabres? I don't know. Every moment I have to spend thinking about the Buffalo Sabres is a waste of my energy. you can I think we're done with Hater's Corner for now.
00:35:04
Speaker
So we can move on to the business of the day, which is celebrating four more years of Shane Pinto. Woo! Speaking of, you know, like not giving a fuck about the Belleville Senators is a perfect indicator that the team is doing well that you may not have immediately noticed.
00:35:24
Speaker
I think it's extremely important to point out and maybe you're going to make this point yourself, lu but say what you will about the the numbers, the term and the dollar amount.
00:35:39
Speaker
ah is like this contract was never in doubt that was not the case a few years ago when any good player was up to be re re-signed like you just knew it was a matter of Steyos and his agent figuring out what the details of the contract were like that I'm not taking that for granted I remember waiting for the Brady Kachuk contract to come through.
00:36:08
Speaker
And yeah, they did get it done, but... I was sick. like i was i couldn't It was a different time with different people in charge, and the ah the purse strings were of a different tension.
00:36:22
Speaker
Yeah. And I've always figured they'd get Brady Kachuk signed, but... you didn't really know until it happened yeah and i think i think kachuk like really had to take one on the chin sitting out but it's like he's negotiating with a terrorist like he is negotiating with the fucking Taliban like you gotta to do extreme shit like anyway also while we're on the subject of terrorism
00:36:54
Speaker
ah I saw some ah Charlie Browns talking about like the deals not like maximum term.
00:37:05
Speaker
This bit of Melnick brain like Melnick derangement syndrome. Short deals are just what happened. the That is going to be what happens now.
00:37:16
Speaker
Also four years not even that short. No, like we like this guy is under a contract until 2030, at which point he'll turn thirty years old yeah like it's that's we're gonna like we're gonna have this guy for his absolute prime yeah exactly so i'm happy to chill out about this and everyone else listening should also and also just from a ah management perspective i'm not trying to like massage this into like you know but like we need to come up with a new term for
00:37:53
Speaker
multi-dimensional chess with and the third dimension but uh you don't want to have like every player locked up for eight years like shane pinto has already missed an entire season from injury like sometimes it's okay to like have a little like wiggle room and like the melnick derangement syndrome is like ah like It's not like it's a fait accompli that like Brady Kachuk is waiting out his contract to go sign somewhere. like It could fucking happen, but like maybe the Sens are like legitimate contenders by them and he's like, I have a good thing going here in this place where I've played my entire career, that drafted me, and my a child like is growing up.
00:38:40
Speaker
I don't know. like I think we we have different people in charge of this team now than we used to And, you know, even Conrad McDavis is like not on an eight year deal right now.
00:38:55
Speaker
I say this as a recovering i who took some economics courses in undergrad. Like, i've i've I've... I've been around the block a few times, this old ah hockey fandom game.
00:39:12
Speaker
i' haveve ah I've tried being every type of fan there is. um And I think the worst way of interacting with sports teams is as an accountant.
00:39:28
Speaker
That's why I got into the game as a lad. where you know we have to think, we we can't just enjoy a player or we have to be like, oh, that contract should be should be longer.
00:39:40
Speaker
Or we have to view like, oh, this ah where this is a bit of an overpay or like, it's not my money. Guess what? I like it when the Sens win, baby. Let's go Sens. Guess who helps the Sens win?
00:39:54
Speaker
Shania Pinto. Hell yeah. A guy who is, honestly, he's the sort of, like, I watch him and he's, got some games where it's like Pinto with a goal assist. I'm like, that guy could have had three goals tonight. Yeah. Like, he's extraordinarily gifted at just getting the puck in dangerous spots.
00:40:16
Speaker
And if it was that easy to do it, everyone would do it. But no, this guy is the... There's a reason why this guy consistently has more goals than assists. Like, real dangerous player, the exact type of player the Sens need ah down the lineup.
00:40:32
Speaker
Like, we can't have ah Tim Stutzler doing everything. Which he kind of has been doing lately. then shout Shout out to you, my beautiful son. Yeah, Shane Pinto, four years, ah yeah he'll be a senator until he's 30. And guess what? That's that's good. It's good.
00:40:50
Speaker
like And yeah, it's like, i so it's like oh we might have to re-sign Dylan Cousins and Shane Pinto on the same day in 2030. and i I'm gonna be fucking drinking moon juice on Mars with the President Jonathan Taylor Thomas in 2030. That's... but Let's chill out about that shit.
00:41:13
Speaker
yeah For now, number go up, baby. and That's what it's all about in this hockey game. Number go up. That's right. Also, like... after After this fucking rebuild, like, I'm sorry, the idea of four guaranteed years of this lineup exactly, practically, is like...
00:41:34
Speaker
Yeah, I could use a bit of stability in my life. yeah i I like these guys and they're pretty good. All right. I don't know if you've been ah experiencing the last 10 years generally. Four years is a fucking eternity now. Anyway, let's take a quick break and check in with Virata to see if he has any thoughts about ah asset management and timeline and being the wrong type of fan.
00:41:58
Speaker
next message hey everybody this is virada here i'm in the san francisco bay area where i live it's friday november 21st tomorrow night our ottawa senators will be in san jose playing the san jose sharks in the beautiful city of san jose the 13th largest city in america the largest city to not have a downtown or any culture whatsoever I will be getting in the car here in Oakland ah probably 3.5 hours before game start and I hope to make the beginning of the game after driving down to San Jose. Approximate distance is like, I don't know, 40 kilometers.
00:42:41
Speaker
um I live in hell and go, Sens, go. So I thought I would ah offer some opinions about something that I heard on the 32 Thoughts podcast and then saw some people reacting to online.
00:42:58
Speaker
Elliott Friedman mentioned the Ottawa Senators as one of the teams that were looking to make a big swing this year. And i saw some people online who are not Sens fans saying, you know, like, that's ridiculous, that's hilarious, etc., etc. They're not a team that is built to win. They're not a team that should be going for it yet. You know, they just made the playoffs last year, lost in the first round.
00:43:23
Speaker
I don't remember it that way. I remember the Sens winning the cup, but that that's that's fine. I thought I would respond to it a couple of things. Number one, is this the time for the Senators to push in all the chips and go for it? And number two, what does that even mean? what What are you talking about?
00:43:41
Speaker
What is going for it mean? what is put What chips are being pushed in? What are you getting back? What are any of you talking about, for the love of Christ? So the the first question, should the Sens push in their chips and go for it now?
00:43:54
Speaker
I think if you inherited the Sens team, if you were hired as the general manager right now and you've got this roster with these contracts, your first question would have to be, what else could I possibly do?
00:44:08
Speaker
What exactly are you doing to continue rebuilding? are you wait is there a UFA out there who you know you're going to you're going to wait for that you could that you actually would want and you actually should want and that you could compete for?
00:44:26
Speaker
ah Is there someone in the pipeline who's two or three years away who's going to really meaningfully move the needle? You know, is there a high draft pick in your future? The answer to all these questions is is no. I mean, the Sens are what they are now. And we can debate whether they have enough to get over the hump. We can debate whether you had a true rebuild without a top two pick. You can debate whether having two picks in the top five is special enough to get you there. We can have all those debates, but it doesn't really matter. The Sens are what they are right now, and this is their chance to to to push in the chips.
00:45:07
Speaker
So I think that that's that's the first thing you've got to say, is that there is no like perfect situation where they they're kind of... you know well, let's give it another two or three years and then we'll get a a number one overall pick or something like that.
00:45:22
Speaker
this This is it. And and there's no there's no rebuild on the horizon. There's no retooling on the horizon. The second thing, and I think the most important thing, and maybe an indicator of just how underappreciated Pierre Dorian is, yeah, i'm gonna just let that hang there for a second, is the fact that Tim Stutzla and Jake Sanderson are on eight-year deals, paying them about $8 million dollars a year.
00:45:46
Speaker
Which is, i think in hockey terminology, fucking bananas that we have that. They're at the beginning of those deals. Already, they're both valued as like $10 million dollar players. The cap is going up by millions and millions of dollars over the next few years.
00:46:05
Speaker
It's totally possible that if they had signed bridge deals at $6.5 million or something, they'd be signing for $12-13 million possibly if they keep developing two or three seasons from now.
00:46:17
Speaker
So every single year that the Senators have Tim Stutzler and Jake Sanderson on $8 million dollar deals, They have to push in their chips. They are never getting that again.
00:46:30
Speaker
Like we have to fully appreciate the situation we're in right now. We got two top five picks who were not the number one and number two pick.
00:46:40
Speaker
and they were the number one and number two players that came out of that draft. We got the best two players at three and five in the same year. getting that that's great That's incredible.
00:46:52
Speaker
Getting two picks in the top five is incredible. Getting the two best players in the top five is incredible. And getting both of them on team-friendly deals for eight years is incredible. They don't even have eight-year deals anymore. They got rid of eight-year deals.
00:47:08
Speaker
It's now seven is the max. Do you understand how lucky we are to be in this situation? You do not spend two or three years in this situation going, well, we'll see what we get in the draft.
00:47:20
Speaker
Well, we'll see who's available in the free market. You push in your chips every single year. you have Tim Stutzler and Jake Sanderson on $8 million dollar deals because at the end of these deals,
00:47:33
Speaker
Like, for the love of God, where is the market going to be? They're both making $15 million dollars a year, hopefully in Ottawa.
Player-Run Podcasts Speculation
00:47:40
Speaker
But, like, this is the chance. Ottawa's going to be getting eight nine million dollars in surplus value on these two players, which they can go out and use to trade for somebody, sign somebody.
00:47:52
Speaker
So Sens have to be all in. Number two, Brady Kachuk. He's got two more years after this season. We can debate whether having like a power forward who's going to squeeze you for every dollar is is a good thing.
00:48:07
Speaker
But he's a legit, you know, media superstar top five personality in the league. You know, if you were to lose Kachuk, it's going to be like an Alfie level Armageddon event.
00:48:17
Speaker
You got to you got to try at least try to Kachuk. resign kaak He's your captain. um He's selling a lot of jerseys, a lot of merch. he's He's your guy, and you have to prove to him that you're serious about winning.
00:48:31
Speaker
So you've only really got two years to do that. You can't spend a year or two being like, i don't know, let's see what Yakumchuk is. That's that's ridiculous. So those two things alone, the Brady Kachuk situation and the Strzel and Sanderson situation, are like a a mandate. You must push all the chips in.
00:48:50
Speaker
So what does that actually mean? mean, what does pushing the chips in look like? Well, Sens don't have a first round pick this year. I guess, you know, some of you have probably pointed that out online.
00:49:03
Speaker
um They've got three third round picks. I don't know what you do with that. There's nothing in the pipeline other than Yakumchuk. And they're not trading Yakumchuk because he's the perfect player.
00:49:15
Speaker
swap in for an aging Shabbat. You know, he's exactly what the team needs, exactly when he's going to be ready. So, um... Yeah, we don't have anything to get anything. I mean, unless you are... i don't know, like swapping Batherson or a Cousins or like a secondary quasi-core player.
00:49:40
Speaker
Unless you're doing another Norris for Cousins style swap where... You know, you're there's some trade-offs, you're not sure if you won it, and then you clearly did win it. Unless you're doing something like that, there's nothing really out there. i mean, are they trading for Stephen Stamkos?
00:49:56
Speaker
I don't know. Are they trading for Eric Carlson? There's lots of question marks around all those things. Ryan O'Reilly? Someone's going to crazy overpay for Ryan O'Reilly.
00:50:07
Speaker
I kind of hope it's not us. You know, he's great as a third line center or something like that at this point. But I don't want the Sens giving up first round picks two years from now for that.
00:50:18
Speaker
So anyways, what am what am I talking about? What does this mean? The Sens absolutely should push in all their chips and go for it They have to. They have to do it for the next eight years.
00:50:29
Speaker
100%. And what does that mean? I don't know. There's nothing really out there and they don't have anything to give up. So they probably won't. Anyways, see you at the game tomorrow. Maybe. See you on the highway on the way to the game.
00:50:41
Speaker
Message deleted. That's Verata's voicemail brought to you by Draglum Salt. Draglum Salt, Ottawa's number two or three provider of salt?
00:50:58
Speaker
Available in a host of textures and please slow down insulting zones or speed up. I don't know. That's why the salts there Yes, you know what's up in those salting zones see shit to Tokyo drift through that bitch Tell him James said it's okay. i said it's okay. It's fine What if after Brady could checks Contract is up in is it four years?
00:51:26
Speaker
Maybe by then he's transitioned fully into a podcaster, a full-time podcaster. ah Yeah, his contract's up in the summer of 2028, so three more seasons including this one.
00:51:41
Speaker
james we got to We're going to talk about the podcast heard around the world here. um Obviously, it was announced where you get your news. At least where I get my news. The ah Pat McAfee show.
00:51:56
Speaker
um which is like That's for the people who find Joe Rogan a little too cerebral. The globalists!
00:52:07
Speaker
Have you attempted to listen to this, ah the Kitshuk? but past I am i'm a little i am unabashedly a little piggy for that sense slop, and i couldn't do it. couldn't bring myself to do it.
00:52:25
Speaker
Here's the thing. i like Brady Kachuk very much. course. And I like watching Brady Kachuk interact with a lot of people in the Ottawa area. Like there's this little video they the Sens put up on Instagram where they were like showing behind the behind the curtain of the Sens hockey ops room and where they told ah Daniel Alfredson to like challenge an offside call.
00:52:50
Speaker
Yes. And then like they do challenge it and then the... goal against Ottawa stays, but like, is is upheld. It's like the first, this is the first challenge they've gone wrong all year.
00:53:02
Speaker
And the guys in the video room are just baffled. And then who should turn up but Brady Kachuk, who's just like, terrible call guys. Start slaying into them. What an awful call, just dog shit call. ah That's the good Brady Kachuk. I love that shit. Brady Kachuk hanging out in the Ottawa area, talking with kids, talking with the media, talking with the boys, talking with the teams. I love i love me some Brady Kachuk.
00:53:28
Speaker
ah He's a very personable guy. yeah that's his That's his best quality. I like him a lot. Brady Kachuk with his brother, fuck all the way off with that shit. I do not give a single fuck about Matthew Kachuk. It ruins it for me. You could have like Brady Kachuk on with, I don't know, just a random group kid in grade five from the Ottawa area and i turn and tune into every episode. I'm tuning in to that.
00:53:54
Speaker
I like that. I'm here for Brady Kachuk. I don't, I'm not interested in the Kachuk brothers with massive air quotes as like a marketable entity.
00:54:06
Speaker
Yeah. Brady Kachuk is ours and at least he's ours another three years
00:54:15
Speaker
I'm not in a i'm not not in a rush to like expand his ah expand his marketability or brand whatever the hell. Just because we we we we we're reformatting to the Senegath Lounge, available on all streaming platforms now.
00:54:32
Speaker
that's That's actually true. Don't it. That's not even a bit. No, it's not a bit. That sounded like We did this. Listen, we do it for you, the people. We're trying to make this thing easier to get a hold of. We decided to deadname and welcome to your Carlson years.
00:54:48
Speaker
uh scotch cast aka fifth liners aka uh how i learned to love the bomb two are three names like that's a perfect metaphor for the podcast is like i had three titles like What is this, a mystery that you have to solve?
00:55:05
Speaker
it It had more titles than platforms you could listen to it on. But it's a continuous thing. like Yeah. And, listener, you know as well as we do, if you're new here, welcome aboard. But if you're an OG head... That would be cool if you if you are new, actually. if you are new... It's always like this.
00:55:23
Speaker
It's always like, yeah. if you are If you're an OG old head, an unk, if you will, or an auntie, Um, you know one thing
Podcasting Landscape Reflection
00:55:33
Speaker
that we, ah hold near and dear to our hearts is that we're not going anywhere. like we we have buried...
00:55:45
Speaker
like a dozen of these other podcasts at this point. We are, we are the Cal Ripken of, of this shit. Uh, and on that, like, like we, we we will, we will outweigh everyone.
00:56:00
Speaker
It's about quantity. ah We're here for you in the bad times, worst times, and the worse than that somehow times, somewhat good times that we we're trepidatiously entering. You know how you do a podcast for 10 years? You do one episode a year for 10 years. That's right. That's that's how it works.
00:56:25
Speaker
And speaking of that, this next segment is sponsored by Bet69. Gambling, one of the best things to listen to on a podcast. ah Betting advice, betting odds. That's why I got into the game as a lad. But we are going to dip our toe into this Bet69 segment. The Kachuk cast. I don't know what it's actually fucking called, and I don't care.
00:56:48
Speaker
Um... I believe both players are injured right now, right? ah How many episodes have they done? One? Yeah. What's the over under on this thing before they forget to do it?
00:57:00
Speaker
Two episodes? Three? How many episodes is this thing going to last? Like, Brady Kachuk is supposed to like potentially return to the lineup next week or something like that. Like, he had baby he's going to be uninjured back the lineup it's an olympic year how how long does i forget to do this thing or like just like don't care anymore Look, man, as they they're putting out one week, one episode a week on Thursday. So and I'm looking to send schedules. They got they got most Wednesdays off until January. So I like their chances to make it to Christmas.
00:57:40
Speaker
How many episodes is that, though? They're not doing them every week. There's no way. ah I'll put the over. I'll put the over under our favorite gambling term ah at at six and a half. I think maybe we should have a rath or like a contest is like on your blue sky. Have people guess how many episodes the how many episodes the Kachuk cast last and the winner gets an autographed Jonathan Chichu hat.
00:58:10
Speaker
Not joking. Yeah. Yeah. Comment on our good comment on YouTube on on on this episode of the podcast on YouTube. I'll send have a YouTube comment. I'll send you a picture of the Chichu hat just to show you can post it on Blue Sky to show these motherfuckers we're not messing around. all right And of course, it's the 3D logo, so you can wear it with pride.
00:58:34
Speaker
3D chess, 3D logo. That's right. all It's all connected, baby. that We are playing 3D chess. on Okay. I'm gonna go with, i say, it okay, the Olympics are when? February? i don't care. i say they they I say they fit in five episodes between now and then, just to be generous. And then, yeah, ah you you never hear of this thing again.
00:59:01
Speaker
Until they're both injured again. God forbid. That doesn't count. That doesn't count. That would be actually a more honest way of going about it, right? Is just being like, we're going to do this, like, this is the we're injured cast. Remember when David Perron was supposed to be on a rival podcast like once a week? No, of course not. i know he had some personal stuff happen like right around that time. is like The idea just goes away. like it's like Do I think that the Kachuck brothers think that this thing's going to be a like special thanks to all our Patreon subscribers? like Yeah, I think i think that they that they fully have that in mind, but...
00:59:43
Speaker
They are just, they're going to be in two different time zones and be like, yeah, I can't do this week and then just forget. it did I have any sponsors. Here's the thing we've done. if I did any research for this, it would require me to listen to it. i don't want to do that.
00:59:58
Speaker
So this is, first of all, this is a a great segment. Second, second of all, that's 69. They're not actually allowed to get sponsored by betting websites, surely.
01:00:09
Speaker
which they like And that's like the main source of revenue for Sends Podcasts, right? Betting websites are, i let me just do a number crunch here, 63% of the global economy at this point.
01:00:26
Speaker
Yeah, like no shade to any podcast. Just kidding. Loads of shade. One worse. if you' If you're not getting some Patreon money and you're not getting any advertising money and you're just doing it for the love of the game.
01:00:40
Speaker
Speaking from experience, the old recording schedule tends to take a bit of a hit. Does this podcast cost money? Who knows? um It costs $1,000 per year.
01:00:55
Speaker
We do for you. Believe it or not. I think if you take into account our hourly rate, like the rate at which we bill out, this podcast actually costs upwards of $25,000 per year, which means per episode, to be clear. Starting a podcast is like starting a band. like Do certain bands make a lot of money? Yeah.
01:01:15
Speaker
Some do, but there's a lot of bands out there and a lot of them are a bit of a liability on the wallet. So to close the loop on this, Brady Kachuk, if you're listening to this, it's okay, dog.
01:01:28
Speaker
we got We got the watch and we'll see you in Valhalla. Just turn up in the background of a bunch of Sens videos doing your thing. That's all we need, man.
01:01:39
Speaker
