Cal Clutterbuck

There's so many great things to talk about.

We got Cal Clutterbuck on the show, who's one of my favorite old-time wild guys.

So thanks for letting me do that therapy session.

I was not laying down.

You got some dirty laundry hanging out a window in Grand

Rapids? Orange Hat Society lives on.

Hey, how fun was it to have Cal Clutterbuck in the studio with us?

This is one of my favorites because I love Clutter.

Zizekas, yeah.

Yeah, so it's Clutterbuck, Martin, and Zizekas.

So actually, Hiller and Gruden were on the bench for those new Islanders teams.

They were both the assistant coaches on that team.

Totally agree.

Hiller and Gruden were both with the Islanders when they had the identity line, Martin, Sezekis, and Clutterbuck.

What a line.

Yeah, they were the identity line.

It just bounced off pads and Sezikis was caught out there.

I'm going to get I'm going to guess what it was, was Sezekis, Clutterbuck and Martin, right? Yeah, they're all there.

They're doing their thing in the offensive zone.

They're throwing the body around, therefore checking.

And then they have to go all the way back down the other end of the ice and defend.

And now that's the rest of the shift.

But if it's Casey Zizekas, that means that Clutterbuck and Martin are probably off the ice.

I just had this visual in my head about those two guys at the bench laughing at Zizekas, who's still trapped out there with his tongue hanging out as he's dying to get to the bench.

I was reading one of his pieces and he made the reference to the, remember the Islanders fourth line that they had for years? Yeah, Sezikis,

Clutterbuck, and who was the third guy on that line? Martin.

Matt

Martin.

It's kind of the old element of one of the things we were hoping we would see a little bit more of this year was, and it's because Mike Babcock's the coach of this team, right? And in Toronto, they got like Matt Martin.

You look back to that old New York Islanders style of the Martin, Sezekis, Clutterbuck line, and those guys would go out there and they would have a big hit and they would generate a little momentum and a little bit of a jam for the rest of the guys even on a night where you know you maybe didn't have it like tonight you still have you know guys dragging each other into the fight and that's the one thing that i think this team really needs to uh to find in their game is dragging guys into the fight when Maybe you don't have it.

And the only guy offensively who I thought had any semblance of a game tonight was, was Leon dry, subtle.

And that was, I mean, obviously he scores two goals, but like even, even with the two goals, like it's a really tough night.

They knew it was coming.

You could hear the energy.

Clutterbuck and Matt Martin are coming on the forecheck, and there's going to be three guys on their butts.

And it's going to be complete chaos.

Frankie,

tell me about being on Cal Clutterbuck's show.

Was that last night or two nights ago? When was that?

It was last night.

I'm like, you got to try it.

I'm shoving it in his mouth.

Good to see my guy Cal Clutterbuck getting a little retirement gig.

I didn't know he was doing that.
