00:00 That's again, that's part of the game.

00:06 You know, it's part of playoffs.

00:10 You know, people don't want to say it, but part of playoffs is trying to hurt every player

00:14 on the other team.

00:16 And the more guys you take out, the more advantage your team has.

00:19 And, you know, people don't say that, but that's just a fact of the game.

00:23 And, you know, so every time you step on the ice, someone's trying to hurt someone.

00:28 And, you know, that's just how it goes in playoffs.

00:32 And any time you can get an advantage on a team, it's going to help your team win.

00:37 And, you know, that's part of the benefit of having a physical group.

00:41 And that's why you see teams go the distance with big D corps and physical teams.

00:48 And it's why you rarely see teams that are small and skilled go far, because, you know,

00:53 they get hurt.

00:54 Listen, that's the best thing I've ever heard.

00:57 And let me tell you something else.

00:58 It reminds me of a real simple thing that I've said on this show for years with you

01:03 since I've known you.

01:05 Kill the quarterback.

01:06 You want to win the game?

01:07 Knock the quarterback's head off like the Chicago Bears in '85.

01:12 Kill the quarterback.

01:13 Win the game.

01:14 Injure the quarterback.

01:16 Pile drive the quarterback on his head.

01:19 Break his collarbone.

01:21 Snap his neck.

01:22 Break his back, his spine.

01:24 Break his arm, his shoulder.

01:25 Whatever it takes.

01:26 Break his leg.

01:28 Win the game.

01:29 And if I'm wrong, the Bears used to have that theory every game.

01:33 Kill the quarterback and we're going to win the Super Bowl.

01:36 And that's what they did.

01:37 And this guy just proved my theory.

01:39 He just admitted on national television that the key is to injure the best players and

01:46 knock them out of the game.

01:47 And then you win the Stanley Cup.

01:49 That's just all there is to it.

01:51 You either are a badass and you handle your business or you get pushed around because

01:55 you're a sissy bitch.
