Introduction and Special Drink Discussion
00:00:07
Speaker
Good evening and welcome to the Senegoth Lounge. I'm your bartender, Luke, and we've got our best regular James here tonight as well. Tonight's special is a gin and panic.
00:00:20
Speaker
James, what can I get you? I'll just have the usual. ah sorry, I just haven't been myself
James' Business Ventures and Market Conditions
00:00:28
Speaker
lately. I've been... been trying to figure out what's been going on with my my boys and in some cases lads we uh you know how it goes sometimes you open a new institution new bar a new lounge a new podcast and then as as soon as that happens prevailing market market conditions are such that uh
00:00:53
Speaker
Yeah, everything kind of just goes to shit immediately. Remember, have you enjoyed any wins in the last few weeks since we since we last opened the lounge?
Sports Talk: Blue Jackets Victory and Podcast Plans
00:01:04
Speaker
Yeah, there was one last night against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Oh, thank fuck. And goaltender Elvis Merz-Liggins.
00:01:15
Speaker
Folks, let me just say we've been needing this. We we needed this. We've been needing this. I think now that we've fully opened the Senegoth Lounge for your, you know, enjoyments.
00:01:36
Speaker
And we we do plan to try to do these a little more frequently. you may have noticed we've done two episodes now and and I guess it will be within the same year. So maybe we're on track right now, but you know going forward, we might do them more. And the way that this season is going, i think it's going to be a episode to episode swing of Sen's going to win the cup to I'm going to throw myself into the ocean.
Player Analysis: Kachuk, Shabbat, and Team Dynamics
00:02:06
Speaker
And guess what episode this is going to be. I'll give you a clue. Last episode of Sen's going to win the cup. Sen's still going to win the cup, but I might be dead when they do it. Yeah, I mean, we've learned a few things about the Sens.
00:02:22
Speaker
Turns out that Brady Kachuk is more of a luxury item, and Thomas Shabbat is like the load-bearing poster holding the whole team together.
00:02:35
Speaker
how do you have you Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? Yeah, I think... I think though in the last episode, and it's nice to not do these like three times a week like some of these other, i don't know if you heard these other sentence podcasts, one worse than the next, but they, you know, I do give them credit grudgingly that they have to do this several times a week. And we get the luxury of having the medium term view. And I believe last time we were talking, things were way more in the realm of, look, we don't need to make a trade.
00:03:07
Speaker
we got We got Brady Kachuk coming back. Look how good the team is doing now. Imagine when Brady comes back. not going to lose five games in a row. yeah it's gonna be that That's going to be the cherry on top, baby. just Brady Kachuk is going keep things rolling along.
00:03:28
Speaker
Thomas Shabbat's coming back. He's not going to be injured like one period later and not even talked about a timeline of returning. Shane Pinto's great. He's not going to get injured ever again, right?
00:03:40
Speaker
It's crazy that we made all those very exact and specific predictions that were just then immediately proven wrong. I'll tell you one prediction that was also proven wrong, um because I've been hearing about this one online.
00:03:56
Speaker
ah You know who started scoring as soon as we put out, ah as soon as we opened the Senegoth Lounge for the first time?
Motivation Strategies and Player Performance
00:04:04
Speaker
Hit me. It was the boy Mabian Zetterland. The other big Z. Mabian Zetterland is the is a Senegoth Lounge enjoyer, we've learned.
00:04:14
Speaker
And ah my little motivational speech last episode has lit a fire under him. He's all the way up to four goals. Sorry. Yeah, six goals. Sorry. I was reading the assist column.
00:04:26
Speaker
on senators.com. That's funny. The Cy Young column. I feel like ah in that spirit and knowing how many of, ah as you say, the lads, you know, listen to us. we're I mean, we're appointment podcasting.
00:04:42
Speaker
obviously yeah um i feel like we're gonna spend a lot of this episode yelling at a lot of other guys well i think we learned i think we learned one of our many powers that we have is if you talk shit about a player or not doing something it will have an equal and opposite effect on them so let me just say this uh maybe in zetterland You will never be a 30 goal scorer. You hear me? You'll never score 30 goals in this league.
00:05:11
Speaker
You will never play away onto the first line, never to be moved again. You hear yeah and let me? tell you And let me tell you something, Tyler Cleven. You will never play as well as you did in the playoff ever again.
00:05:27
Speaker
it would It wouldn't be great if you just did that consistently for the rest of the year. Yeah, it's a it's time in the spirit of, ah you know, the harsh message that we delivered to maybe in Sederland. Let's then move on to, yeah, Tyler Cleven.
00:05:47
Speaker
Okay. who I had high hopes for him after the last ah after after the playoffs. I thought he was a revelation in the playoffs, in fact. Yeah, absolutely. Now it is with a heavy heart they must announce that Tyler Cleven is not it.
00:06:06
Speaker
Tyler Cleven, more like minus 11, Oh, like that's it. It's over. now do I have to say anything else? yeah When i sort though when i sort the the players by plus minus, you're right there with Dylan Cousins, my man.
Challenges for Young Players and Team Potential
00:06:27
Speaker
that And now I know some of you are thinking, but Luke, aren't you a fancy stats guy? And it's true. I am. And I'm here to tell you, those aren't good either. Yeah.
00:06:39
Speaker
Fancy or traditional. My man's sucking ass. I mean, i've I'm trying to be nice or hopeful as as the case may be. Like, maybe... think there are some players that do play better in the playoffs because that's when the game gets easy in a lot of ways, especially if you're like a third...
00:07:05
Speaker
pairing defenseman or a depth like in the bottom six of the of the forward lineup because the coach is just going to come in and tell you it's like hey good news do this one thing if you do that over and over and over right and tyler clevin seems like a one a doing one thing type of guy you know he he did a great job of doing that one thing in the playoffs and now that he's got to do a couple things every night not holding it together He's so young, though. like he he is He's really thrown into it fast. Like, you know, where there's ah you know an injury to Thomas Chatbot, and he's it's like, hey there, 23-year-old, go out there and fill in for Thomas Chabot. Don't forget to have a little bit of fun with it.
00:07:57
Speaker
You'll be playing with Nick Jensen's hip. All of Sanderson, Stutzler, Klevin, Grieg, Marilinen, all like in this from the same draft, all the same age.
00:08:14
Speaker
all uh what all 23 or 24 depending on what time year we're talking and on the one hand still some hope for these guys obviously like i don't think anyone's a finished anyone's a finished product at 23 24 but at the same time you i certainly want to see some you do want to see some like positive progression right and like i think like for me ridley greg also in the sort of i expected a lot more out of you after the playoffs you just had category because i mean i i know that guy's been injured as well but even when he's not injured like the again bad bad fancy stats like hasn't been able to provide anything the way of uh defense or offense i mean mcgridley greg i thought he was good last night but
00:09:09
Speaker
He's really giving like, he was good in the playoffs where he was clearly injured and you know, she's giving like, yeah, back from injury, but like, I don't think ah playing at a 100% kind of guy, you know, they just really need him out there. but You know, there there is a... I'm... I'll preface this by saying that I'm of the mind of, yeah, we need to go for it now, now's the time.
00:09:40
Speaker
But I find the Sen's lineup is kind of interesting because there's a bit of a, like, if... Well, I won't use myself as an example, but if you and Bill Gates were in the same room, you know, the medium median inc income of the room is like $400 billion dollars kind of thing.
Team Dynamics: Veterans vs. Young Players
00:10:01
Speaker
No, that's that that's the mean income. The median income is... Sorry, yeah. Look, I'm not a math guy or a smart guy, guy okay? Okay. I never said I was smart. Okay, that's not why you tune in You're the smart guy.
00:10:15
Speaker
but but no, but seriously, folks, like everyone on this team is still like fucking 23 years old, but there's like Claude Giroux and David Perron. Sitting on the other side of the teeter-totter. This is still a pretty fucking young and inconsistent team in some ways.
00:10:36
Speaker
Yeah, here's a here's a math word for you. Bimodal distribution.
00:10:45
Speaker
that's what the age That's what the age distribution looks like. Speaking of David Perron...
00:10:51
Speaker
Am I making up that his nickname in the room is DP? he It is DP, and it's in a way that I don't think he's like, guys, quit breaking my balls over here. like He's like, yeah, DP, that's me, baby. okay It's me, your boy, DP. We're all on... Okay, so just to... just to I mean, you want to share what you think that that stands for? Look, it clearly we stands for David Perron. It stands for automated teller machine. Everyone knows that.
00:11:27
Speaker
I just, well I, look, we're all about observation and noticing things around here, and i just wanted to know if you also noticed that. stands for British Broadcasting Corporation.
00:11:47
Speaker
What were we talking about again?
00:11:52
Speaker
I like when people had normal nicknames like Travis Green, Greener, and i right that Sexton guy, Daniel Alfredson.
00:12:05
Speaker
I can't remember we talked about Alfie. I like how everyone's talking about, what's his name? It's not Randy Sexton. Is it his kid? Because it's all who you know. But they're like, yeah, he's sexy. He's doing such a great job. like, are we just all going to pretend that calling this guy sexy is like just like not funny me at all?
00:12:26
Speaker
i guess it's just another like oh another hockey nickname thing. is that like The more it kind of annoys you, the more that will be your nickname. That's what I'm saying. like I think DP is like self-appointed.
00:12:40
Speaker
Yeah, you you kind of have to be. Actually, i think it would have to. Maybe it would be PD in French. Perron comedy.
00:12:56
Speaker
Look, we have a lot of fun out here. me just right now ah kick it to our sponsor, NordVPN. Well, we're not sponsored by them, but now that we're the Senegoth Lounge and not the Welcome to Your Carlson Years presents Scotchcast presents Fifth Liners, do our J.D. Power and Associates trophies carry on or do we have to start over again? Is it like how like the Sens were actually like the first Stanley Cup dynasty and they have like something like 11 Stanley Cups, but they don't count, but like the Montreal Canadiens can be like...
00:13:35
Speaker
When the... Montreal White Men's Athletic Association beat the Montreal teammates. They won the Challenge Cup, and that counts because les Glorieux, or whatever. They played a four-game series, two games won, one game lost, and a tie.
00:13:54
Speaker
the Vancouver Thousandaires had to take a train all the way from British Columbia, which took four and a half months, and most of the team died of cholera consumption on the way to the game.
00:14:09
Speaker
During the game, the Vancouver goaltender was conscripted into the Great War and backup goaltenders got a lot of access. Of course, the star player Shifty Gamue was injured and forced to retire after he slipped on a puddle of butterscotch.
00:14:25
Speaker
yes I just want to know if I can hang up these JD Power and Associates banners in the Senegoth lounge. or Or do we have to start over again? Because will fucking start over again.
00:14:36
Speaker
I don't care. i i ain't never scared. You ain't never there. what These other podcasts, bury them all. got the best towing capacity in our class five years running you know let's let's uh answer that question with another question like do you think uh if you have a nissan is it
Continuity in Sports Franchises and Podcast Achievements
00:14:56
Speaker
technical is it do you still think of it as a datsun do you still think yes do you still think the colorado avalanche or just the nordiques we gotta stop with that are we are are the uh are the carolina hurricanes actually the hartford whalers
00:15:13
Speaker
They might be in the sense that I forget that they ever existed. Bad example, bad example. Yeah, you're right. I think we're starting from scratch on this one, honestly. All right, I'm ready. I mean, we can keep we can keep the old trophies, obviously. We don't have to send them back, but I think that you know that's a separate... ah you know those Those banners fly forever, but they fly at welcometoyourcarlsonyears.com.
00:15:38
Speaker
I'm ready to go Rocky IV on this shit. I'm like eschewing the fancy ah techno gym and i'm I'm running up the side of the damn mountains ah overlooking the Ural River.
00:15:51
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? That's fine for you. i personally am doing the roids. ah I am putting the needle in my ass and getting strong.
00:16:03
Speaker
But, you know, different to different approaches to the to the sweet science of J.D. Power and Associates. Look, when the Sens are not doing well, it's easy to talk about stuff like that.
00:16:15
Speaker
Now we move on to our next segment. Seen any good movies lately? James. No, I'm just fucking with you. But seriously, Ridley Gregg, Tyler Cleven, young dudes I expected more from. At least, you know, guys like Lars Eller, how do you say his name in French again? do you say it? Lars Eller.
00:16:34
Speaker
And the ah the guys I'm going to refer to in the spirit of the season as the the jolly old St. Nick's cousins in Jensen. um ah Sure, when they're on the ice, they're looking like they drank out of the wrong grail out there.
00:16:50
Speaker
But, you know Lars Eller is older than me. ah If anything, that's cool. that he's you know it's like i mean i know how good i would be as a professional hockey player right now and know lars eller is doing his best when he's not hurt yeah what's cool about lars eller in relations to me is that he's injured right now right he's not playing these are the guys you know we weren't thinking that they were going to be the ones who had to like rescue the season you know
00:17:22
Speaker
I want to check in on your boy and frequent punching bag.
Dylan Cousins and Team Struggles
00:17:27
Speaker
I'm talking about Dylan Cosines. As the correspondent on TSN Cinco last night was calling him Dylan Cosines.
00:17:38
Speaker
I swear to God, like we were on Channel Ocho last night. like I don't know what the fuck, like they were... It was like that they got the highlight play-by-play people doing the game. It was crazy.
00:17:53
Speaker
But ah maybe he's just called Dylan Kozens from now on. That's my favorite thing about words, is that there's so many different ways to say them, and they're all right.
00:18:04
Speaker
Ain't that the truth. why Why does everyone say important now? i'm trying to figure out some way to tie this into a Toronto accent discussion. You're a beacon fam.
00:18:17
Speaker
and what What were you saying about Dylan Cousins? Is he still a team worse minus 12? Yeah, he is. But is he's he's he's still dabbing on you, though. like he i think he had like two or three points last. like He has a terrible 22 points in 30 games. like Good for fourth on the team.
00:18:37
Speaker
I'm going to bless him with the with the Luke take that I gave to Fabian Zetterlund. Dylan Cousins, I hereby give up on you. You will never become a strong two-way player who can be trusted at all phases of the game. You will never be more than empty calories.
00:18:57
Speaker
Everyone write this down today, the 12th of December. Dylan Cousins will never be a strong two-way player. Certainly not in the immediate games following the release of this podcast.
00:19:12
Speaker
That will never happen. I mean, in a in a very possible way, I will say that I thought he was really good last night. He is such an interesting player. but And you will never race that minus 12. You hear me, Dylan Cousins? cozans You will never be a plus player. When you watch Dylan Cousins, like what do you think he's good at? Oh, I know what it is. Coming in from wide and and like using his size to cut into the slot. he I am in awe of how many times in game he tries this move. And it looks fucking cool when he does it. Like, no tea, no shade. I would also be trying my power move over and over and over and over and over and over again.
00:19:58
Speaker
he is definitely good at that. i mean, I guess at least he's aware of sort of hockey you're supposed to play if you're 6'3". As a Dylan Kozen's doubter, would you rather Joshua Hussain Norris on the team still?
Scoring Challenges and Player Comparisons
00:20:20
Speaker
would be a little bit curious as to whether this is the player Stevie Stoicism thought he was trading for. And you know what? He's only spent 51 games outside of Buffalo. It's going to take like...
00:20:33
Speaker
some time for that buffalo stink to wash off. no i Maybe let's give him another 20. If he gets to a full season here and he hasn't turned it around, then I think we can start discussing forks and the putting in thereof.
00:20:50
Speaker
You know, for now, you know, the Senators I going into last night i had like three straight games without scoring a single goal five on five. Like, that's a team problem.
00:21:03
Speaker
and You can't can't just blame Dylan Cousins for that. Well, you can't because I think that Dylan Cousins had his best five on five game of the year last night. Exactly.
00:21:14
Speaker
Yeah, thank ah thank goodness for for last night. this It would have been a fucking rim grim podcast we were doing today instead of the upbeat and pleasant mood we have at the moment.
00:21:29
Speaker
I just want to say Dylan Cousins has played over three times more games this season than Josh Norris has in the last two seasons for Buffalo.
00:21:41
Speaker
Like, is Josh Norris productive in those games? Yeah, he's killing it. The same way that he was awesome when he was here. But guess what? He wasn't here that much. I don't know. I say welcome human man, Dylan Cousins, living creature, 30 game player, source awards watcher, Dylan Cousins, the whorehouse from Workface. the best little workhorse on the prairie. yeah Yo!
00:22:09
Speaker
Built like a brick white horse. Like a bricked up white horse. Let's pay some bills. oh That was the Draglim Salt riffing portion of the show.
00:22:21
Speaker
Was it funny? I don't know. Write in on right in in the chat. Actually, let's go to the chat. Let's check in. let's Let's go to the chat and check in on like the most basic opinions imaginable. I love that.
00:22:33
Speaker
That's not what we do. We don't just talk around in circles for an hour and then be like, I don't know, hope the Sens win. Let's see, imisshosa42069 says, Go Sens, go.
00:22:46
Speaker
Oh, and thanks for the super donation or whatever. Thank you for donating to our podcast and not a charity. Podcasts do things for people, James. That's true. Where would we be without podcasts? It's fucking psychically damaging that like the Sens are basically like two points away from being the Buffalo Sabres.
00:23:09
Speaker
But if they went on... I'm not going to use the word heater.
League Standings and Player Consistency
00:23:14
Speaker
I'm going to say warmer, seat warmer you know like a seat warmer in a ah in Nissan and Altima, we're we're like in first place in the division. Yeah, yeah they're they're two points away from being the Sabres, but they're also six points away from being the Tampa Bay Lightning.
00:23:40
Speaker
Like, it's kind of a fucked up situation in the in the standings right now. It's not supposed to be like this 30 games in. Probably not going to stay that way either. Anyway, speaking of last night's game, people having great five-on-five games, I'm going to break with tradition here. And maybe for the first time in my personal history...
00:24:01
Speaker
i'm gonna I'm gonna take issue with Tim Stutzler. What? Here's the thing. Tim Stutzler was preposterous last night. I'm gonna let you rock, but okay, go ahead.
00:24:17
Speaker
I think this guy is too important to only be dominating half the games. no I think we need, i like I want to see a more consistent Tim Stutzler.
00:24:30
Speaker
I think it's time. it's it's It's been... it's like he He's got enough experience. He's coming up on 400 NHL games. like I want to see consistency from Tim Stutzler because he's had some incredible some incredible games and some some incredible runs.
00:24:50
Speaker
And then he'll just have... ah like Before last night, he had three games in a row where he has a combined minus eight. I agree the stat line of 28 points in 30 games is extremely inconsistent. Where were you? Those two games. Where were you?
00:25:07
Speaker
gonna come clean. I think that the spotlight is on our special little guy. But he continues to snatch my wig out there. Like, I was watching him last night.
00:25:21
Speaker
I thought he could have been better. i had two fucking goals. like yeah Like, I feel like we're getting into this place of... This is, like, similar to, like, what I'm saying about, like, yeah, we could still have Josh Norris, who's played five games this year.
00:25:37
Speaker
Like... Tim Stutzler, yeah, could he be a bit better? i suppose so. But are am I judging too hard because he's doing something every five seconds and like for 15 of those 20 seconds, nothing materializes from it, but he still finishes the game like with two goals? I...
00:26:01
Speaker
I do think there's... so i don't I'm not trying to disagree completely. like I'm saying, like, there's some Jason Spezza, like, honey, can you slow your brain down a little little bit and let the rest of the team catch up a bit? Like, you are doing what you're supposed to be doing out there, but there's, like, everyone can't play 2D chess like you, you know? Like...
00:26:26
Speaker
He's placing the puck perfectly in the slot from the corner on an improbable, you know, well ah under pressure on an improbable angle, like double teamed.
00:26:38
Speaker
But he's two moves ahead of everyone. So it's kind of just like a turnover. Did you know that at this point of the season, Tim Stutzler has more multi-point games than he has one-point games?
00:26:55
Speaker
I think he's had a few wins where he put Contary on his back. And ah kind of like won the game. Like that that to me garbage goal last night was like that's my son right there. Like first that is like yeah he could do like a 720 in the slot and like Michigan the puck into the net. But it's like no I'll perfectly like and i will also enjoy you using like the butt end of your stick to just like
00:27:28
Speaker
hate the puck into the net on some the play hasn't been whistled whistled down yet shit, you know? That's what I want to see. That's the Tim Stoetzel difference and in a way. Like, he's got that balletic grace to his game and the ultra-fast processing power, but he's also got that deep German scorn yeah for his opponent,
Cultural Insights and Player Passion
00:27:52
Speaker
you know? Like, when you see Timmy yell at a referee, you're like...
00:27:56
Speaker
Damn, that is some old world hatred. Oh man, when Germans yell at you too, like, you know they mean that shit, holy fuck. Oh yeah, for sure. Did I tell this story on the podcast yet? Where, uh, the concept of, uh, Röntzeit?
00:28:09
Speaker
you know about this? No, but I do know it's my Geburtstag today. Alles gut, es zum Geburtstag. So, there's this... I think it might be a literal literal law, but even if it's not, it's a very closely held German cultural concept of what's literally called quiet time. Okay. This ah ah quiet time happens at to set times of the day, if and ah ah often also for like an entire Sunday.
00:28:40
Speaker
Wow. This feels very Calvinist all of a sudden. Yeah. Would you believe that this is the place that they invented Protestantism? um And so basically, ah whatever the quiet hours are, kind of varies from city to city. But basically, Sunday is is off limits.
00:29:00
Speaker
And so during that time, you cannot ah do any like noisy housework. So like no vacuuming. Hold on. I'm i'm getting won over by this all of a sudden. No no vacuuming. ah No construction work.
00:29:16
Speaker
You can't ah power wash your car, which is something Germans love to do, by the way. and Let's do the Canadian version of this. No playing with your snowblower for like 90 fucking minutes.
00:29:31
Speaker
I thought this machine was supposed to remove the snow faster. So one day i decide that, you know, laws are a social construct.
00:29:42
Speaker
And you know what? I'm going get a head start on the week. I'm going to cut the grass on a Sunday. And it was my parents-in-law's yard. It's really tiny. It's about the size of a postage stamp.
00:29:57
Speaker
You know I do it in like 10 minutes tops. like, what's the worst that could happen? Plus, the lawnmower is electric. It's not even a gas, ah not even a gas mower.
00:30:08
Speaker
Hmm. So, I don't know, maybe like 90 seconds into cutting the grass, just an old and just the angriest German guy you've ever seen your life. Sorry, it's so hard to picture that Steps out onto his ah balcony from the from like the house across the lane and just starts laying into me in a way that I have never been laid into before.
00:30:38
Speaker
I'm not going to repeat what what he said, but, ah you know, basically it was like, ah you're probably very stupid. um It's quiet time. you must have respect for the culture and traditions, et cetera, et cetera.
00:30:54
Speaker
When Austrians get mad at you, it's not really about you, it's about themselves. And you know, that that way you can kind of, you don't have to take it personally when an Austrian is mad at you.
00:31:08
Speaker
When Germans are mad at you, it's so much worse. Like they say it's your fault, it's your parent it's like your mother's fault for bringing you up in this way. Like everyone else everyone else can be normal, like why can't you be normal?
00:31:23
Speaker
Like, if Tim Stutzle is yelling at refs, like, you know he's like going deep on these guys. You thought typical Montreal Typical was some hater ass shit? Don't mic up Tim Stutzle on that.
00:31:39
Speaker
Bring it back around to Tim Stutzle. i I would love for him to just, I just love for him to work in a couple more, you know, one point games into the mix. Like, I don't want to have to watch games and be like, is this one of the nights that Timmy's got it?
00:31:52
Speaker
You know? You feel that way? You feel like the season's played out that way? Like he's on some nights and not others? I think he, I think some, I do. He had one like completely awful game in the road trip.
00:32:04
Speaker
Oh, are you talking about the, the turnover hood round? oh ah Oh my God. Sorry. That drove me nuts. It was like, we talked about one turnover for like three d days.
00:32:16
Speaker
but it's like, yeah, I had a fucking turnover and it's the goal went the other way. Like, it there's it's an 82-game season. It was the the St. Louis game.
00:32:29
Speaker
Just had, like, an awful night, especially like especially on the on the fancy stats. And, like, that's even before you take into account that he was minus three.
00:32:41
Speaker
It was nice that he, like, obviously like, turned it around, but there's just... I don't know. There's some nights when I'm like, what's going on with Timmy tonight?
00:32:54
Speaker
And in some cases, gals. And then some and then some nights there's, like, okay. Like, last night I was like, okay, Timmy's fucking if i't got it going on. And, you know, I don't think he has to score every night, although, like, that's obviously nice, but...
00:33:11
Speaker
You would take that. ah that's that's i that's I'm on the record as saying it's okay with me if he scores every night. Not me. I like a good, clean 25-goal season. But like he's the he's the main man now.
00:33:26
Speaker
He's too important to the team to only be be dominating half of them, right? Yeah, I think he's definitely entering a zone of interest.
00:33:39
Speaker
Pause. um Where there's just generally... Oh, because he's German? Is that the reason? Yes. Oh, okay. Look, if the shoe fits... um Listen, yeah, like ah he has to wear lot more of the responsibility.
00:33:58
Speaker
And I'm okay with that because he's such a fiery competitor. i think that... I think that he can rise to the occasion. He's 23. The team's been good for like one season of his career.
00:34:15
Speaker
I think I'm taking the long view on this. like there's no Besides Sanderson, of course, i um have you heard of this guy, Jake Sanderson? Putting together a tidy little season.
00:34:26
Speaker
um Also, has hasn't even gotten out of second year yet. No, I agree. There's more there. And with Stutzel, I think there's more there. And... It's like there there wasn't a lot of points in time where you think like pressure is really getting to Alfie. It's like, no, you like put it put it on him, you know?
00:34:46
Speaker
i think he's got that to him as well. And I think we're seeing some growing pains. I watch him play and i I'm not mad at the kid because...
00:34:57
Speaker
He's clearly trying to do fucking everything out there. And unlike some other like hockey dad types out in the the lame stream media, I think doing too much is good.
00:35:11
Speaker
i think you can teach do a little less. You know? Mm-hmm. Like, having watched the the god Alexey Kovalev play for this team, it's like, you can't really teach that guy, like, please do more, you know? ah So, yeah, no, i think I think he's the most important forward on the team, for sure.
Stutzle’s Role and Leadership Potential
00:35:34
Speaker
Yeah, again, he's he's he's turned Brady Kachuk into, like, a luxury item, a nice to have. It's like, oh, cool, Brady Kachuk's out there now. like Yeah, like, sick. He's easing back into the lineup.
00:35:46
Speaker
Yeah. And I only bring this up again because of my legendary a motivational abilities that I've already demonstrated with Fabian Sederland. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought it up at all, probably. But, you know, feel like. to So listen to me. You will never be a 60 gold man. As God is my witness.
00:36:13
Speaker
he May I be forced to bow the lawn on a Sunday if Tim Stutzler should ever score 60 goals? Let me tell you, quiet time is over.
00:36:26
Speaker
Let me take the Lars eler lars Eller Award, or the Lars Eller pronunciation let and apply it to my Drake Batterson.
00:36:44
Speaker
Okay, have you heard that one? Have you heard that one in the wild? I have, I have. Look, we're watching the World Juniors, you know, and stuff over the years. Like, I've heard this man's name get pronounced in French. Drake Batherson.
00:37:02
Speaker
He's putting together... What do you think about him? He's putting together tidy little saison. ah Fucking gorgeous goal last night. I mean, with Batherson... How do you say it? Sorry. Yeah, how do I say it? I mean, I know how I say it, how should I it? Drake Batherson.
00:37:20
Speaker
I'm still having a hard time with him just to is because of like the thing that happened. You know what I mean. But if I look at the stats and the effect he's having on the game, easily the most impressive season he's put together.
00:37:36
Speaker
yeah And even the even his famous boneheaded defensive ah issues, you know he's kept it down to like a tidy you know four or five of this season.
00:37:49
Speaker
Is that good? Four to five the whole season? I mean, it's a big improvement, I'd say. i there's a like There's a guy who like also took the ah took the assignment seriously when Brady Kachuk went down, you know? But I think if you if you just look at like who's scoring and who's assisting, like, Bathurston and Stutzler have a big have a big connection.
00:38:16
Speaker
And that's kind of also a funny ah a funny happenstance is that ah Travis Green almost lucked into that particular pairing.
00:38:28
Speaker
And now I'm thinking, should we not have tried that one earlier? Yeah, Batterson, he had... He had an insane like rink-wide sauce to Timmy on his uh... He had his sexy goal and his unsexy goal on on the sexy goal the drake batherson seeing eye sauce pass was just on unbelievable and let me just say for the record he's big he's long you know he's not one of these guys that's six foot three with little t-rex arms okay he's long he's rangy
00:39:07
Speaker
He also seems to be the only other non-Brady forward who actually like keeps up with Timmy's like brain power. Psychedelic psychedchedelic vision of offensive hockey, you know?
00:39:19
Speaker
That's what I like about that weird Password Fidelio summer camp that normal guy Sidney Crosby puts on every summer in uh whatever Cole Harbor where that Drake Batherson goes to is like yeah you know what I like that this guy's like chopping it up with Nathan McKinnon like you know like the worst player there is like Brad Marchand like future Hall of Famer um
00:39:52
Speaker
No, like, I feel like Drake has the kind of game, yeah, Brady definitely, even though he's like ah such a different kind of player, like he likes that anything could happen at any moment, you know, to capitalize on.
00:40:06
Speaker
And we need to keep Tim Stutzel dipped in these
Player Performance: Giroux, Batherson, and Amadio
00:40:12
Speaker
kind of players. Oh, absolutely. Also, shout out to the Cloudfather lately. That guy's also been, i credit him with sort of, uh,
00:40:21
Speaker
like coming through when no one else fucking will. Like, I feel like um maybe this is like copium 90 coursing through my veins, but like, even when the team's shit, I feel like Claude Giroux has like a respectable game.
00:40:39
Speaker
i I can't. I don't know if I've seen Giroux play a bad game this year, honestly. Yeah. There's part of me that thinks Claude Giroux going to play until he's like 42. Like Alfie, like, you know, they keep saying it about like, I can't can't really boot around like he used to. Like, yeah, I don't remember. I don't even remember if Alfie could skate fast or not.
00:41:01
Speaker
It's like it didn't fucking matter. Yeah.
00:41:05
Speaker
He'd just like turn his back to you put his ass in your face, and then you'd never get the puck for three minutes. And then, yeah, yeah he'd pass it to Milan McCulloch, who'd score. Perfect. AKA perfect hockey. I'll tell you what.
00:41:19
Speaker
ah The Giroux playing with Amadio. What a fucking line that is. Yeah. Those are some smart ass hockey players. Yes. You have previously referred to Kyle Turris as a perfect hockey player. Yeah. He's like the... Turris was like... I say this because there's a there's a particular kink I have where it's like...
00:41:43
Speaker
you like You make your own player on NHL 2K whatever. It's like you make all the levels perfectly equal. it's like That's my man right there. That's bae.
00:41:58
Speaker
you you marry You marry Kyle Turris. You marry Kyle Turris. I could tell that Kyle Turris was really good at hockey because he always did everything I would do. Exactly.
00:42:10
Speaker
like Don't you get the feeling that like Michael Amadio is like a great value Kyle Turris? but yeah if If Kyle Turris is the makeup player with every with every ah slider perfectly set at 87, then Michael Amadio is that, but like every single slider is set at 81.
00:42:31
Speaker
Yeah, or like he doesn't have like the prestige of, you know, like World Juniors heroism. or I know they didn't win the year with Calderas. Like, don't at me. Chat, go easy on me.
00:42:43
Speaker
Or like being drafted third overall. But like Mario got a cup ring, though. Although it doesn't technically count out because it was with the Las Vegas Golden Knights who are not a recognized NHL team, but like, whatever. I'm not hating.
00:43:00
Speaker
Amadio is also kind of like the ah the velvet underground of shooting the puck where like he only he only shoots it like 20 times, but they all result in goals somehow. Yeah.
00:43:16
Speaker
Yeah. He only shot the puck 20 times, but every goalie he shot on started their own band. Precisely. and Sorry. like Obviously, I love to motivate this guy by talking about how he's shit, but I can't do it. Michael Amadio, you're too good. Michael Amadio, you'll never be Kyle Torres. You will never score a heroic overtime goal against the New York Rangers. I'm just kidding. The York Rangers are making the playoffs. with me I'm just a caveman.
00:43:48
Speaker
This losing streak, mate. Like, this is... Like, they're dabbing on us. Can we have one fucking conversation where you don't bring up your hero, Ned Flanders? Like, can we have one fucking game where meat Michael Banana Jazz doesn't okay like Basically, like, the entire league's like, this guy's bullshit at this point. And it's like, yeah, but look at his record. like, he's played the Sens 83 times and has 400 points against him. I hate, i I'm in hell with this guy.
00:44:25
Speaker
I find it incredible... Look, God exists. God did this. I went to a game with my good friend, Adam Goldeneye. Shout out to you. I know you're listening.
00:44:36
Speaker
We went to a game in Madison Square Garden. Sends Rangers. I'm like, schedule loss right here. Fucking Sends won. i don't even know if Mika Zibanejad scored in that game. But I'll tell you one thing. It was the only game he didn't if it wasn't.
00:44:51
Speaker
Basically, i went I remember going to a Sens Rangers game, and I think Mika Zibanejad had a hat trick in the first period. Guys, what is going on with my boys and in some cases lads?
00:45:05
Speaker
What the fuck just happened?
Team Inconsistencies and Power Play Struggles
00:45:07
Speaker
We go on like a fucking a historically long road trip, it's like Sens? could actually win the cup where we got Brady back they had one shit game listen and I don't know if you heard this Tim Stutzel had one turnover in this game against Dallas one of the best teams in the league can you believe this shit what next um then they have like a nice comfy homestead ah stand they playing against people people people but people like the Albuquerque Devils this AHL team what are we doing
00:45:41
Speaker
What? I don't know. what How many more games are left in this season? hey At least we beat the fucking Habs, though. Who? Exactly. They made a new Jack-Eye. to
00:45:54
Speaker
This is like pulling a muscle, sucking your own dick shit. It's like the Florian Jack-Eye. like Wait till they get this guy out there. I looked this guy up and he's like, this guy fucking...
00:46:08
Speaker
fucking francis lessard who fucking cares about like only and in um like canadian cable channels do i have to know florian jack eye is know i'm saying yeah no one's talking about francis mcdermott my goat the post 9 11 buddha statue for the sense real heads recognize were you born yet when the sends were doing that buddha statue thing I have no idea what you're talking Francis McDermott is the... No, his name's not Francis McDermott. That's the Oscar winner. I thought that was the bit. I thought that was intentional. It is, it is. No, Curtis McDermott is the dick in the turlet before the game of this season.
00:46:57
Speaker
Look, that guy's really tall and seems kind of mean, so I'm not going to say anything mean about listen Curtis McDermott. Curtis McDermott, you will never...
00:47:09
Speaker
You will never play consistently in this league. i don't even know what to do with that. Listen, Travis Green, I know you're listening. Just keep dunking Curtis McDermott in the toilet before the games.
00:47:24
Speaker
Yo, Curtis McDermott is like this homunculus of a guy, right? The exact same BMI as Linus Ulmerk, by the way. Absolute fucking unit.
00:47:36
Speaker
ah Speaking of Linus Ulmerk, because it's getting mad at our faves week in the synagogue lounge, I'm going to preface this next statement by saying, Linus Ulmerk, we believe in you, big dog.
00:47:52
Speaker
And because we believe in you, we believe that you can do the important task. of sometimes making a fucking save out there.
00:48:03
Speaker
Fair. The classic Linus Olmark game this year is a game where Olmark lets in four goals, but none of the goals are even that bad. I feel like I said this in my like but online a few times. was like, I watched all those goals, but like was it really that bad? And and you know that's fine for a game or two or five, but like at a certain point, you got to save some of those.
00:48:27
Speaker
you know like what like I get that you know sometimes the shots are hard to stop, but like would it kill you to sometimes stop some of the the harder ones? couldn't agree more.
00:48:39
Speaker
i mean, Lena Solmark, let me love you like a woman. Let me hold you like a baby.
00:48:47
Speaker
Let me shine like a diamond. Let me be who I'm meant to be. as in I love this guy. I love this guy okay? Blessed is the goalie.
00:48:59
Speaker
who's speaking in his second language and every media clipping of him is like 11 and a half minutes long where you know they're like uh lean is not the result you wanted out there tonight and he's like uh since the dawn of time man has picked up steaks and called it art and you're like what the fuck is this guy on about as kyle old nausgard once wrote yeah quoting nausgard in the post game scrum just like zenon kanapka used to do but like uh
00:49:37
Speaker
a I love this guy, okay? But you're you're killing your father, Linus. And I'm your father. You're killing me. Let me love you like a woman. Like, i i am dying. Like, look, I'm a wealthy gad about town, okay?
00:49:54
Speaker
I'm out a lot and I'm checking the scores on my phone while I'm at the Shaggin pub, okay? This is Linus Allmark season. It's like, the game is 3-3 in the third period.
00:50:06
Speaker
i'm pining I'm pounding back a few pints of the black stuff. I pick up my phone at the most ah socially acceptable portion of the evening. I click refresh refresh on the page.
00:50:18
Speaker
And it's like 4-3 Utah Mammoth or whatever. Like, yeah Venus, stop. your You're fucking murdering your father, Stop doing this. And always some sort of defensive breakdown, you know? Like, it's never completely his fault.
00:50:37
Speaker
And yet, basically what I'm saying is, lean as all Mark is my Tim Stutzel. You're doing your job, but i I really need you to do fucking more than that, please.
00:50:50
Speaker
m I'm glad we've reached a player we can both agree to yell at. The goalie. Finally. No, there's these things. This guy's a fucking Vezina trophy winner. It's like i was watching the game last night and Sens had, I think, two two power plays the entire game. They scored on the first one, by the way.
00:51:11
Speaker
The second one, I'm like, how the Sens look like they have one less player on the ice and they're on the power play. And I thought back to my own stupid life and I was like, I think I've been thinking this for like 15 straight years now. Like, winner are when are we just going to have the power play that I feel like I'm subjected to when the Sens are on the penalty kill, where it's like they set up and they start cycling around and hope hopefully the goalie makes a save and the defender picks up the puck and just ices it.
00:51:45
Speaker
Or not ices it, but like shoots it down to the other end of the ice. He's like, no. Sends get two power plays in one game and it's yakety sacks.
00:51:56
Speaker
Oh, I'm sorry. Did you not enjoy the game against the devils where the Sends had four or had three power play goals and then lost four to three? bat rockcks That rocks.
00:52:07
Speaker
That is... got look God... God doesn't love us, man. That is what we call malicious compliance. You see what God just did to us, man?
00:52:19
Speaker
I have something to say, though. though I got something to say. Look, i have't I don't know what your exact feelings on Tarvis Green, a.k.a. Greener, but the way the season's going is the Sens are a seat warmer away from leapfrogging like five teams in the division.
00:52:41
Speaker
I mean, what we'll see was we're gonna see what happens, folks. But, like, they're going to have a... Like, I think that a lot of the nerds out there are saying, like, yeah, the Sens are doing bad right now, but, like, the underlying metrics are, like, decently stable. Like, you're the resident nerd on this podcast, but, like, am I not right that it's, like, if the Sens could just get their special teams together a little bit, they're perfectly good, you know? So, if we get to the Tet New Year, right?
00:53:10
Speaker
Hmm? And the Sens are in a playoff position. Are you willing to accept Tarvis Green as your lord and savior? tarvis Tarvis by Tet is the campaign I'm trying to start. By the Tet New Year.
00:53:28
Speaker
By Tet. If the Sens are in a playoff spot by Tet, will you accept Tarvis Green as your lord and savior? So Tarvis Green promised us an offensive this year.
00:53:43
Speaker
it was In fact, it was five on five offense that he specifically ah that he specifically promised. And I'm here to tell you right now on this podcast, I've been running the numbers backwards and forwards and they all point to one thing.
00:53:59
Speaker
It's the fucking same as last year. Did you enjoy last year? I mean, i like the part when we made the playoffs, but I'm becoming increasingly, i don't know if concern is the right word, but one thing I've noticed is that this team doesn't offer very much, I don't know, how do I want to put this?
00:54:21
Speaker
i I would like to see this team get about like 20% more swagger up here. you know like here can we Can we blow out some dog shit teams every once in a while?
00:54:32
Speaker
Let me just check the score from last night real quick. Yeah, let's let's do let's let's do more of that. Clojuru set up a sick-ass goal without even looking last night.
00:54:44
Speaker
Check the tape. It's tough watching the Sens Wu's sometimes is what it's what I'm trying to say. like I love it when we get a big dub up in here, but sometimes the Travis Green hockey, it's a little... greeting our vegetables out there.
00:54:58
Speaker
And when I don't get the dessert of a delicious, delicious W at the end of the day, at end of the day i don't find it satisfying. I agree, but I also think on the other side of it is like, yeah, you know who else was a boring ass coach? Jacques Martin. You know what else? Fucking take me back.
00:55:14
Speaker
Remember when the Sens made the playoffs every fucking year? don't give a fuck.
Game Strategy and Playoff Ambitions
00:55:18
Speaker
And guess what? i'm still I'm still on board with that grading system for Tarvis Green, too. It's like if there's a player on the team that scores a lot of empty net goals, I'm like, yeah, score 50 empty net goals for all I care. That means we're winning the games. I don't give a shit. Or like Sens win a lot of one goal games. Like, so is they what? They what a lot of one goal games. Great.
00:55:41
Speaker
So like, oh, Merzlikens had a really bad night last night. i don't I don't know if Omar has a really bad night. Does the other team like ah forfeit their victory? Yeah. I don't give a fuck. I'm not paid enough to be, by the way, subscribe to our Patreon. And thank you for the super chat, Mao Zedong. I don't know.
00:56:04
Speaker
ship Okay, so what I'm saying here, Luke, If by the Tet New Year, who February 17th, 2026, if the Sens are in a playoff spot, despite all your rage, you are still just Nicolas Cage.
00:56:21
Speaker
Despite your problems with Tarvis Green's system or culture or whatever, are we getting into suck my dick territory of like, well, Sens been in the playoff spot well into the season for two years in a row, two of two.
00:56:38
Speaker
Or are you just like, this is just a fluke, folks? No, man. I'm 100% results-oriented. if we get some If we get some offense by Tet, I'm all in.
00:56:51
Speaker
if we got If we got a playoff spot happening. We got to get the offense we gotta get the offense going if we're going to do this. We're calling for a Tet offensive. We are. That is indeed sorry what we are calling for.
00:57:05
Speaker
Look, I've been drinking all day. It's my birthday. Has anyone has anyone coined that yet? I'll look it up. It's catchy. Look, Go Sens Go. What's the schedule looking like coming up? we're We're on another road trip somehow. Cool, that's good.
00:57:20
Speaker
Actually, that is that is kind of good so far. The the only types of schedules that Ava can have is like eight game road stand and also eight game road trip somehow. The Minneapolis St. Paul Wild, don't care. um The Winter Peg Jets. I heard they're...
00:57:40
Speaker
washed a little bit cool and good yeah the the pittsburgh pingu's you ever just be watching highlights zoned out like five or six glasses of merlot deep and you're just like watching highlights and you're like fucking Eric Carlson is like i live i live I lived to see the day that Eric Carlson is on the damn Pittsburgh Penguins of all teams and I actually kind of don't care like I'm fine with it you're like sure I don't know fine I guess once the guy gets traded and he's just another player whatever happens to him after that like he's still just another player you know
00:58:23
Speaker
like what it it Like, would it have felt worse about Alfie if he had, like, gone to fucking St. Louis after his one year in Detroit? That would have made no difference. If you like like what you hear, folks, you can check this out on Luke's non-Christian R&B album, Just Another Player.
00:58:41
Speaker
We're back. What do you... Okay, before we wrap this thing up. Okay, we're playing Blackhawks. I don't know if they're good. Sabres. Apparently we're rivals with them now. That sucks.
00:58:54
Speaker
Tianto Leafs. They're washed. Columbus again. it's This seems like pretty winnable games but yeah close out the to close out the year. Yeah, I like our i like our chances.
00:59:07
Speaker
um I feel like Brady's going to get it back together. But there's also I'm also post-caring about strength of opposition, too. like I am, too. I guess there's one there's one team where I'm like, okay, they're pretty good.
00:59:21
Speaker
And that's Colorado. You're like, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Avalanche are pretty good. And, but if it makes you feel any better, we do get them on the second half back-to-back in January. we're We're starting a new watch, Tarvis by Tet.
00:59:35
Speaker
It starts tomorrow at 2 p.m. against the Wild. When does Tet fall this year, do you know? I closed that tab on my ah on my computer. Come on, man. You don't have to know what I was going to ask. That's like, it's just poor podcasting. February 17th, 2026. God, everyone knows that. Check your lunar calendar, you fucking idiots.
01:00:01
Speaker
And make sure you're checking the Vietnamese lunar calendar. God, you have to do everything around here. Go, SENS, go. I just... I don't have a lot going on in my life, guys. What are you talking about? It's your birthday. You're drunk. You're day drunk. I know. I have to get drunk on the evening on a Friday like a normal person.
Podcast Announcements and Closing Remarks
01:00:21
Speaker
There's one thing missing from my life. It's the SENS being in first place in the division. I agree. That is a huge hole in my life.
01:00:28
Speaker
I'm feeling it. Like, we were hating so hard just one episode ago that the... thumbnail for the episode was like a screen grab the division. And now I'm like pretending that's not happening. Yeah.
01:00:44
Speaker
That's okay. I delete all the episodes after they go up. So that's definitely not still out there on on our YouTube. Oh, wait, wait, what's that? It is? oh fuck. Okay. Oh, that could be awkward for us. Oh, we're available on YouTube now. Also, so there's a sweet, um, we're not going to do that live shit. Like the, I don't know if you've heard these other sense podcasts, one worse than the next. Um,
01:01:06
Speaker
We're not going to do the live thing, but if you prefer to listen on YouTube like an absolute freak like me, there'll be a little Easter egg in there for you. Okay? We'll see no more.
01:01:18
Speaker
If you don't accept the these Easter eggs, that's anti-Ukrainian hate crime, so fuck you. Did anyone enter the contest that I set up? on on I know you're on the website bluesky.net. Skynet.
01:01:32
