Spengler Cup

It, it, it's a chance to see what some other guys can do in different spots, and, and that might, you know, I think Scott kinda touched on it today at the media conference, that might benefit you down the road, just to see what other guys can do in different spots.

But if we're talk- if, if we're s- if we have to have a conversation about, well, can he play in the Spengler Cup, well, now, that's a whole different...

A- a- and we just don't know, right? We don't know which end of it it's gonna fall on.

Week to week doesn't tell us anything.

Yeah, you're not kidding.

Uh, but before we do that, let's, uh, catch up on a, one news item that came out after we recorded last week, and that's the first six players named to the team that will compete, uh, at the Spengler Cup, the US Collegiate Selects.

They named their first six.

Three defensemen, Tyler Dunbar, Ty Hanson, Evan Murr, uh, Muir, excuse me, and Max Plant from Minnesota Duluth, and Hayden Stavro from Dartmouth, the forwards.

... 'cause that one happens every year.

Yeah, the President's Cup feels like the Spengler Cup of golf [laughs] is what it is.

It kind of does.

You know what I mean?

Boy.

Spengler Cup.

[laughs]

It's a long wait.

And, like, the Ottawa Senators had to sign James Reimer mid-game while they were getting absolutely shelled by the Colorado Avalanche.

[laughs] Like, James Reimer was, his last games were in the Spengler Cup.

Like, this team was desperate.

[laughs]

And you're inviting potential trouble.

You don't want to be looking for guys in the Spengler Cup to be your backup goaltender because... something's gone off the rails.

Like that should never, that should never happen.

Right.

They've signed Forminton.

Uh, he's an effective penalty killer, and some people said-- And I, and I-- Look, I said, full disclosure, last week that I, I had friends that saw him play in the Spengler Cup, and they were not particularly impressed by him.

But also, the reality is, uh, hey, you know- Is what it is.

Let's see.

That is superbly done.

That was done by a listener, uh, Dallas, who owns a Dairy Queen in Nelson, British Columbia, and, uh, was sending in songs during that first Cup run all the time.

And then just vanished.

And then we just haven't heard from him ever since.

Like, he is there for you, he's ready to go.

Benny realized it.

He acquired him in the Stanley Cup, uh, win on, remember?

Oh yeah, yeah, Benny traded for him.
