00:26The Panthers lose last night, five, two to the Detroit red wings.
00:30Look, they get the benefit of the doubt, baby.
00:31I don't know what to tell you.
00:32You know, a little, a little, a little, a cup hangover here in the middle, right
00:37before the four, right before the four cup finale or whatever the hell they
00:40could, they call that the Finland battle for all world hockey dominance.
00:45If they had had a low cup hangover, they would have started off slow.
00:52They did not.
00:53This is that for the last two or three years at this moment in the season,
01:00we've had the same conversations for two years.
01:04Trust me.
01:04Listen, you're right.
01:05There's always that, that, that swoon around, uh, you know, middle
01:09of January to groundhog day, but also hangovers can always catch up with you.
01:15You can power through early on a hangover.
01:17Oh, sure.
01:18If you, if this was, if we were to watch on Saturday, you ain't
01:22gonna feel a hangover on Wednesday.
01:24Sometimes because you can power through.
01:26If you have to, you have to power through and then there's a crash.
01:29So yeah, but it ain't going to be that long.
01:34We had the trip to talk about half of the season trip to Finland.
01:38You want to hit a theory?
01:39Okay.
01:39Trip to Finland.
01:41A lot of, a lot of key contributors and that Stanley cup team left.
01:45So when you go play against them in their new teams and you're handing them the
01:49ring, you reminisce and when, when you reminisce, you may start drinking
01:57and then you forget, Oh, wait a minute.
01:58It's a game the next day.
02:00And then you're not mentally prepared because you were just reminiscing
02:03about the successful last season.
02:06It always seems to happen that they start struggling right after they
02:09didn't have the right to one of their former players.
02:11And to me, they've struggled the most against the mediocre
02:14teams this year.
02:15Like anytime they take on a good team or they take on a team, that's like,
02:19you know, they're all right.
02:20Like that.
02:20They're like, ah, we got it today, boys.
02:24You know, let's see.
02:25Coasting gets everybody.
02:26Coasting gets everybody.
02:29I think bar I saw this last night.
02:30Who had this, uh, this tweet last night.
02:32It was like Barkoff and, uh, man, where was this?
02:38Um, I saw this last night with the, uh, the Panthers Barkoff.
02:44Oh yeah.
02:45Here it is.
02:45This from David nine, five, four FLA on Twitter, big Panthers account.
02:50Uh, and he hosts the, uh, what does he host?
02:53The, uh, Florida cats hockey podcast.
02:56All right.
02:57He says Barkoff one goal in the last 11 could Chuck one goal in the last 12.
03:03Bennett zero goals in the last 17 games.
03:07Brady one goal in the last 13 cup.
03:11Hangover dude.
03:13All right.
03:14I'm fine.
03:14I think they're feeling it.
03:16Or what did you call last year about this time?
03:24Swoom.
03:24I don't know.
03:25What do we call us?
03:25Because they did the same thing last year.
03:28Yeah, but that, I don't know.
03:30That might've been a title on the same situation.
03:34I don't know.
03:35Hard to say.
03:36No, it's not hard to say about them going through this every
03:40year in December and January.
03:43I felt like last year it was more like a complete crash.
03:46This is kind of like an up and down ergo hangover.
03:49So that's better than a complete crash.
03:51I agree.
03:51I agree.
03:52It's been better than a crash this time of year.
03:56I mean, I have to go exactly.
03:57Look, I mean, I don't remember exactly when the swoon was last year.
04:02What was the record this time in the year?
04:04I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm getting there.
04:05Dude, I'm getting there.
04:06All right.
04:06I'm sorry to ask you a hockey question.
04:08You know how you.
04:1046 games in to that damn playoff schedule.
04:16Uh, let's see.
04:19Let's see.
04:20Last year, 40, three last year through.
04:31Hmm.
04:32Hold on.
04:34Hmm.
04:35Like your head about to explode.
04:37Could you tell us about, yeah, I completely lost my place.
04:40I'm sorry.
04:41I lost, uh, I lost my, I lost my last schedule.
04:43I'm sorry.
04:43I'll get, I'll get you that answer though.
04:45I'll figure it out.
04:47So would you be shocked if it was damn near the same record?
04:51I would say, would I be shocked?
04:53No, I wouldn't be shocked.
04:55Yeah.
04:55So if the record is the same, you're just putting a different
04:59title on the same season.
05:01All right.
05:01Last year.
05:03You see what I'm saying?
05:04Like last year they were 27, 14 and four.
05:13Right.
05:14And then this year, the 26, 17 and three.
05:18So they won game.
05:19So it's right, right, right.
05:21So, so like, why are you sitting here trying to put all these different.
05:28They do the same thing every year.
05:30So what do you put a different title on?
05:32Doesn't change.
05:33They're in this basically the same spot they were last year
05:36and they won the Stanley cup.
05:39Every, no, everybody knows Bob hits his peak after groundhog day.
05:43Then we, yes, we noticed, we see this.
05:46So why, why all of the, Oh, it's cup hangovers.
05:50This is that you just labeled it differently.
05:52It's the same product.
05:55It's the same product.
05:56You just put different packaging on it and gave it a different name.
06:01That's by the way, all those totals are game more.
06:03So it's for Higgie one goal, last 14 Bennett goal was zero in last 18.
06:09It has been, I mean, you're fumbling the bag, dude.
06:11Could Chuck one in his last 13 and bark off one in his last 12.
06:15Okay.
06:16But they're in the same spot.
06:17They were last year, dude.
06:18They were nasty last year, to be honest, but they were like, they
06:24would win three in a row, lose three in a row, win two in a row.
06:29They really didn't hit their peak.
06:30They had a, an unbelievable winning streak from December 23rd to January 11th.
06:37They went on a winning streak.
06:38One, two, three, four, five, six.
06:40They went on a nine game winning streak.
06:42I do.
06:42Well, you know, and they got this thing.
06:44I understand.
06:45So, and without that, without that long stretch, they're actually
06:50playing more consistent this year.
06:52Right.
06:52And then after that nine game winning streak last year, they lost four in a row
06:55and then decided to win six.
06:58They decided to win 10 out of the last 11.
07:00Yeah.
07:00There's all, all I'm saying is stop acting like you haven't seen this before.
07:07They've been the same team for the last couple of years.
07:11They go through ruts like this.
07:13Same thing.
07:13Like the chiefs, the chief 15 and two ain't a rut.
07:18Nobody wins those games.
07:22We'll take a break.
