Welcome. Welcome back Ducks and Kings fans to episode 24 of Royally Quacked. We're going to start our new series called Hockey 101. So sit back, get in your assigned seats and enjoy the class. So, but first, before we get into class, there's really not much ducks or league news, but there is a little bit of king's news, so we'll my dad will cover that real quick and then class will be in session welcome class.
Speaker 2:Sit down and be quiet, okay, never mind. On LAinsidercom there is a great interview with Quinton Byfield. A lot of different reporters including like Dennis Burstein who's part of Kings of the Podcast asked questions of Quinton, congratulating him on his new five-year contract, which we've already reported. But they did talk quite a bit about him probably moving to center and then the speculation that he might be the second-line center with Kevin Fiala as one of his wingers, and he did talk about it quite extensively. Says he's ready to go, ready to play, even ready for face-offs, and he was decent when he did face-offs last year. So anyways, if you want to hear it all and listen to it all, it's lakingsinsidercom and look up the Quentin.
Speaker 2:Byfield interview that was really, really, really good. I listened to it, I was intrigued by it and, like I said, they even had media asking him questions. It was basically it looked like he was at home, maybe like on a Zoom or something like that, or maybe like what we do with our podcast. Maybe they do something like that where people can come in. Eventually. We're going to try to do that. Right, cody, we're going to have guests come in somehow. Some way I can't hear you.
Speaker 1:I actually muted myself. Oops, no, yeah, we would love to have a guest on Apparently. I hit the mute button. I just didn't even know. I'm all talking.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's go. I saw your mouth moving, but there was nothing coming out.
Speaker 1:You know I've been training to become a ventriloquist, so I'm glad you said that.
Speaker 2:Don't quit your job Right.
Speaker 1:But no, yeah, we've been wanting to you know, have some guests on and stuff like that. So if anyone's interested on becoming a guest, please feel free to let us know. Even if we'd love to do like crossovers with other teams too, I feel like that would be great too.
Speaker 2:Any of the NHL. Specifically, I would think it would be more fun with the Pacific Division teams that have a podcast, that like to talk Just talk about hockey. We would love to have you on ours.
Speaker 2:Or we're going to do somebody else's, so we're throwing that out there Once it goes out. It never comes. You know it's out there forever. So maybe we'll get someone interested and we'll talk with someone, but that's not in the immediate plans unless you know. Probably going to happen more like maybe when hockey season starts. So, but are you guys ready for a hockey 101?
Speaker 2:I know I am so part one is like hockey lingo, or in better words, how to talk like a hockey player, and some of it's going to be part of that. Some of it's going to be just regular hockey lingo.
Speaker 1:And the basics of the game.
Speaker 2:Right. I mean, hockey has its own slang and I'm going to be honest with you guys. I've been a hockey fan for a long time and some of the stuff we're going to share was new to me.
Speaker 1:So Hockey 101 for the Royally quack team is much for you so do you want to do lingo first, or do you want to do the basics of the game first? All right, let's do the basics of the game, because that's usually the general kind of part of it, and then we can get into the lingo basics of the game.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm ready for that all right.
Speaker 1:so this is, according to awayocom, the rules of hockey for dummies. So this is our website. If we miss anything, please feel free to let us know and we can include in another um session for of hockey 101. So, um, to start off hockey, there are six players on each side, one of which on each team is the goalie, and the goalie can be pulled for an extra player. Hockey teams usually consist of four lines, totally up to 20 players. Yes, for forward lines, there's four forward lines, three defensive pairs usually and then a goalie yes, and then hockey obviously is a very intense sport.
Speaker 2:I think that's one of the reasons it's one of my favorites. You know, they they have shifts and typically they're about a minute or so long minute or less.
Speaker 2:I mean if you're fourth line it might be 15 seconds. 15 seconds to get that first line, that a little extra time so they can come out and play again. So so it's usually one minute or less in changing. When they change the players, it's it's called a line change. And I I mean if you watch the second Mighty Duck movie, when Bombay was late to the game, they had to say change them up. That's what the coach is going to yell change them up.
Speaker 1:Line change.
Speaker 2:So you've got six players, four lines. That would be a center, two wingers typically.
Speaker 1:Yeah, those six players usually consist on the ice three forwards, two defensemen and then the goalie.
Speaker 2:Whenever, when you get into the power play, you'll see sometimes that configuration, but more than likely it's going to be one defenseman and four forwards.
Speaker 1:Or in some cases five forwards. Yes, that's. That's more rare. Yeah, I know, florida did it a couple seasons ago when andrew burnett was the interim coach there. But and then some power plays, usually he'd still have the three forwards and two defensemen, because they'll usually have the, but the two offensive like well, defensemen will be on it yeah, well, the kings.
Speaker 2:Typically for you fans, they're, they're running the one defenseman and, uh, four forwards on their power play most of the time yeah, same with the ducks.
Speaker 1:So, um, so, as the puck is relatively small compared to a soccer and and uh, or compared to a soccer ball, and as a hockey is played very fast and is very easily, you're gonna lose the puck watching on TV or watching it live. So it's going to take you a while to watch the game to really know where the puck is.
Speaker 2:That is one of the hardest things. Why people get disenchanted watching hockey fans is where did the puck go? Now, you have that little trail sometimes, depending on what it's usually during. It's usually during power plays. They usually have that little trail sometimes, depending on what.
Speaker 1:It's usually during power plays. They usually have that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but they show you where the puck is and it's very easy to lose it. I mean I played street hockey. I mean you're out on that in the rink. It's tough to track the ball. 100% of the time you lose where it goes.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But it comes better and better with time. The more you watch it, the easier it gets, and I highly recommend fans that if you have a longtime hockey fan, they can help you with how to watch the game.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm hockey fan, they can help you with how to watch the game. So I remember a couple years ago when we went to a game, we we were uh, there was like a couple seats like right on the glass. So we moved up and sat right on the glass and I just remember cam fowler was behind uh, had the puck behind gibson. He shot the puck literally right at us at the glass. Everyone ducked and covered and I just like watched the puck as it went by, cause I said I've been watching it for so long, I knew exactly what he was doing. So everyone like it was like oh crap, and I was just like, oh, look, there goes the puck.
Speaker 2:You know it didn't hurt you. You caught baseball for quite a few years and umpiring too, so that usually helps I mean, but, like I said, that helps you with the tracking. Yeah, you know so, and a game is consisted of of 60 minutes of ice time in the game, split into three periods. Not can't be quarters if there's only three. Just so you know.
Speaker 1:For you math people out there.
Speaker 2:So, and each period is 20 minutes and typically, I think the break is now 15 minutes, is it Cody?
Speaker 1:I think so I want to say it's like 15 to 18 minutes 15,.
Speaker 2:yeah, so you can go to the bathroom and get your snacks and spend a lot of money.
Speaker 1:Don't you go to the team store? Buy me a hat.
Speaker 2:Believe me, Cody likes to buy something almost every time he goes to a game.
Speaker 1:I have to. It's like a ritual.
Speaker 2:And then you know a lot of times the game will flow and there's no stoppages and there's no stoppages. So typically there are timeouts planned because almost every game is now shown somewhere, either on ESPN or TNT NHL Network or their own local coverage. So they do have timeouts. I do believe it's like 10, 10, every 10 minutes or so.
Speaker 1:So the TV timeouts are usually at I want to say, 14 minutes, after the 14 minutes, at 10 minutes and then, I think, at four minutes that's time left in the period, right yeah.
Speaker 1:Time left in the period. Yeah, time left in the period. So, and I've seen it and I think they talked about it on either 32 thoughts or the jeff merrick show, where if usually if you were sometimes the game just keeps playing and there is no whistle, so it's just play, play, play. If they play through those tv timeout times like the 14th or the 10th, they make up for it later, because that's where usually they have to make their money back with the sponsors, the commercials, stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, In a typical game it takes about two and a half hours approximately, unless you go to overtime.
Speaker 1:And then also at the end of each period and when the new period starts, the teams will switch sides. So if your goalie it's like in soccer On one half you're on one side, if you're the goalie and on the other half you're on the other side. But in hockey you're on one side of the ice for the first period, then you're on the other side of the ice for the second period, and on the third period you're back where you were during the first period and then when the score is tied at the end of regulation there is overtime. You know, overtime is played in a three on three scenario and it's pretty much golden goal or first goal wins. If after the overtime goal has not been scored, then the game moves into a shootout. Has not been scored, then the game moves into a shootout. Shootout is the. Each team will pick three players and it's pretty much best two. Or if you score, what is the best? Two out of three?
Speaker 2:right, pretty much well, it could be one out of three.
Speaker 1:The other one has zero out of three yeah, so it's pretty much the best, best out of three. So if one player scores on one team and the other team nobody scores, then it's one, and if nobody scores or it's still tied after that, I believe it's first to score and not score.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but they have three, no matter what is what Cody's saying.
Speaker 1:The first three is mandatory.
Speaker 2:So an example Kings versus Ducks, since I'm going to say that the Kings go first, they score, ducks don't score. The Kings go first and they score again and the Ducks don't score. It's over right there it's over. Because the Ducks can only score one more goal. The Kings already have two, so it can stop at two. That's the earliest it can stop in a shootout, but typically it can go on. I mean you took a pop to the game and it went to like what? 12, 13?.
Speaker 1:I want to say it was like 14 or 15. What 12?, 13? I want to say it was like 14 or 15. Like I thought Jonathan Quick was going to be taking a freaking penalty shot at first.
Speaker 2:Well, I think they can just go back right around, can't?
Speaker 1:they, I know, but I think that would be so fun Just seeing a goalie try to go do a shootout.
Speaker 2:I think that would be great, you know what my new commissioner for rule Go have to do it. Yeah, mom. Mom had sent me a video where it was all goalies playing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she sent that to me too that was funny so all right, now we're going to talk about the ice. What are all these circles and lines and dots?
Speaker 2:Okay, so the hockey rink is actually 200 feet length and 84 feet wide. It is broken up into zones. You have a red line that cuts it in half.
Speaker 2:That's typically where the game will start with the first faceoff. Then you have blue lines. There's two blue lines One going into where you're playing defense and one where you're going in against their defense, against their defense. And then you have two circles, face-off circles, in each offensive zone, to the left of the goalkeeper and to the right of the goalkeeper, but there can still be. There's actually four other places you can have a face-off, which all have. I mean, if you look at a diagram like we're looking at right now, there's four red dots it's just past the blue line, two on each side where if you go in and you're off sides, you come back out of the zone to have the face-off. You don't go back to the mid-ice to have the face-off.
Speaker 1:So there's four actually eight places that you can have a face off nine, nine, where else? Well, you got the, the four, the, you got the four face off dots.
Speaker 2:Yeah, then you got the well, the one in the middle. It starts the game.
Speaker 1:Yeah no, and after a goal. It's after a goal after a goal and sometimes that after a goal.
Speaker 2:After a goal and sometimes that's right, it is night I stand corrected.
Speaker 1:And I think if they rule an icing and it's not icing, I believe they put it right back out at the center dot too. Or for other circumstances as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so yeah, there's two in each zone offensive zone for each team. There's actually five in the neutral zone. So, like I said, there's like the center one and then there's. It's like if you got a dice out, put it in the middle of the neutral zone where all those dots are on the dice. Those are all face-off areas, yeah.
Speaker 1:All right. So you already covered the top part, let me get. I'll get the bottom part, all right. So the red semi-circle in the neutral zone is called the referee's crease and it is only used during stoppage of play to communicate goals and penalties. During play it's pretty much open ice. Players can skate through this area as the referees will position themselves across the rink to keep up with the play. The red line is the center, divides the rink in half.
Speaker 1:The dot at and the dot of the center of the ice is used at the beginning of the game and at the end of each period as well as each goal has been scored. Or, like I said, if it's like an icing and it's not icing, I believe they put it right back there. There are five circles surrounding five face-off dots on the ice. When a face-off is held at one of these dots, only one player from each team can stand in the circle until the puck is dropped into play. That's usually your centers, you know, or someone that's really good at taking face-offs. There are some wingers that are pretty good at taking face-offs, but they're not centermen. Pretty much. The light blue space in front of the goal is called the goalie crease Players trying to score in this zone are not allowed to stand in the crease. Of course, then again, we don't know if that's ever really goalie interference or not, because we don't know what the definition of goalie interference is.
Speaker 2:It is kind of convoluted on that and if you've watched any games or you listen to Cody. He's frustrated with that aspect of the game.
Speaker 1:I want consistency, that's all I ask.
Speaker 2:And it's games played by imperfect people. It's refereed by imperfect people. The person who designed the game was imperfect. Yeah, and it's never going to be perfect.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So we got to get used to that.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So last bit of news. It doesn't show it on here, but I'll talk about it real quick. The thing, the trapezoid. So the trapezoid is behind the net, behind the goal line there's two red lines that go diagonal, so it makes like a trapezoid shape. For all you math people that really know what a trapezoid is, if you don't, you could easily look it up on Google. You'll see what it looks like. So the trapezoid, um can. It was like three sections behind the goal line.
Speaker 1:The goalie can only play the puck in the inside of that trapezoid, in the middle. He cannot touch the puck or play with the puck or bring it out of that area, um, otherwise it's a penalty. I believe it's. I think they just call it a play, a delay of game. Now, I think, or it's a goalie infraction, I guess so. And if that happens to a goalie, the goalies don't go into the penalty box even though that'd be really funny to see, um, but they just usually pick a player that was either on the ice or a bench player and they throw them in the penalty box to serve their sentence. The goalie still gets the penalty, but somebody else serves the time in the box yeah, that could.
Speaker 2:That would be an interesting thing that we could have changed to the game goalies go to the box when they get the penalty and there's no goalie. Good, I just thought of that I like. That. I mean, could you imagine?
Speaker 2:that could be a, I mean, and if we change it where a goal doesn't take away the penalty, how many goals could be scored in two minutes without a goalie, I mean? But then again we'd be having these crazy scores where it probably would take away some of the fun of the game, because being it so hard is part of that fun.
Speaker 1:So, but anyways, I still think they should get rid of the trapezoid. Let the goalies play with it, let them make mistakes I know well that was part of your commissioner thing uh-huh well, that was really.
Speaker 2:Commissioners changing rules is what that episode should have been, because it's not. Commissioner does a lot more than just work on the rules, but they have committees that work on those rules too, and the committees submit them and then they get analyzed whether they should be done. So all that stuff we talked about would probably take a couple years before it ever got put into place.
Speaker 1:Oh and the to association have to approve it as well. It's part of the the collective bargaining agreement. The cba is also what it's called for.
Speaker 2:Short yeah, so we do have penalties or fouls called um that are lead to in hockey, and I think we're gonna have that be a separate episode and go through all the different penalties.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It might be in with something else, because you know we could well, of course we could just not even just give them the definition, but talk to them about it and give our opinion of it when we do that. So we don't want to sit there and keep going through that. So we've talked about let's, I think we're going to talk about player lingo, but there's hockey terms too, and we did talk about face off. Face offs happen anytime, Obviously, to start the game after a goal, any time the puck goes out of play in any which way, or catches the puck and holds.
Speaker 1:Freezes the puck.
Speaker 2:Or freezes the puck, not even holding it, but just laying on top of it.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I was going to say if you're done, I'll, I'll do the next one. Okay, yeah, um, icing. Behind each goal is a thin uh, I'm sorry Behind each goal is a thin, long blue line and in the middle of the rink is a red line. If a player shoots the puck from behind the red line, so like the center ice line, and it crosses the thin blue line in the offensive zone without touching a stick, icing is called a face-off. Then occurs in the defensive zone. If a team is shorthanded, they may ice the puck without icing being called.
Speaker 2:So pretty much that was the one thing I mentioned yes, and that wouldn't that be interesting, that would be.
Speaker 3:They can't do that anymore which would make the power play.
Speaker 2:I mean, could you imagine what edmonton power play percentage would have been if you couldn't ice that'd be crazy.
Speaker 1:So, or the rangers too, and the new york rangers had a deadly power play, true?
Speaker 1:Um, so pretty much icing is like if so say, I have the puck and I'm coming up to the center ice and I try to pass, or I'm behind the center ice on, like where I'm closer to my defensive zone than the offensive zone, and if I try to pass the puck and it doesn't touch, and I'm behind the line and it doesn't touch any stick or any players or nut or anything else and it goes all the way down, it's called icing. But if I'm past, or I believe it's anything, that equipment or you, if anything, passes through the center ice line and doesn't, it's not icing. So, like your stick handle, like the little curve of your stick at the very end, if that crosses, you're fine, like, and that's, it's literally like, I would say a lot of times a lot of players don't even cross it, but they're so close I believe they just count it, and stuff like that so it's like horseshoes or nuclear war if you're close, they won't count it against you yeah, exactly so that's uh ice.
Speaker 1:I know icing is really hard to explain over you know, explaining it like this if you guys are confused, feel free to look up on google or youtube or or even tiktok, and look up videos and they'll easily show you.
Speaker 2:Well, here's the thing why would a team ice? So I mean, we'll go a step further than just explain what it is. Why would they ice? You're in trouble.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know, you guys, they can't seem to get out of their zone get the puck out of their zone so they just dump it. It gives you you have to go get the puck come all the way back, and when you do ice you're the guilty party. You cannot sub.
Speaker 1:The defensive side.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, but you're the, you're the guilty party. That would be the defensive team trying to get the. You cannot sub, so you're already really tired. Nothing's working. You just get it out of there, so you get maybe 10 or 15 seconds to catch your breath. That's why it happens.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's usually what leads to penalties, like usually after icing, like that those in those kind of situations. Um, I was gonna say something else too, but I can't remember what I was gonna say.
Speaker 2:But you know it'll come to you. If it's important, it'll come to you, or we can say it at a different time. Hey, I just remembered, you know, two months ago, when we did Hockey 101, this is what I was thinking, remember, when I said this. So I mean we can go more on to the. I don't know, do we really want to talk a penalty shot today or we want to save that for penalties?
Speaker 1:We'll save that for the penalties.
Speaker 2:And then we talked about overtime, and it's five minutes Now. Overtime in playoffs isn't three-on-three and it isn't five minutes, it's the golden goal rule.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm, it's pretty much goal rule. Mm-hmm, it's pretty much play until someone scores.
Speaker 2:They've gone right three, four periods. And then I think we mentioned I think I mentioned it and I think you had just read about it too that if you get into the fifth period After five, After five periods you can drop a second puck.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I've never seen that. I mean try to imagine being the goalie and have to watch two pucks come at you.
Speaker 1:I'll have to try to find that in the rules and everything like that. Take a screenshot and I'll try to put it on the Instagram and everything.
Speaker 2:That's probably a great idea. Give them some help with that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 1:Playoffs, so playoffs the top 16 teams. I wouldn't say top 16, it's usually the top eight teams in each conference. So there's two conferences make the playoffs and I don't. Oh, this is something we probably should have changed in the commissioner get rid of the.
Speaker 2:The change back the playoffs format I did talk about it oh, you did yeah, I said top eight teams, one plays eight oh, okay, anyways each division. Da-da-da-da, because you know us King fans know we've been stuck playing the Edmonton Oilers three years in a row.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Now I can't say it would have been any different, because I haven't really looked where if we would have done the one through eight, I lost my train of thought If that would have made a difference. I mean right now, once your two top seeds play the two wildcard teams I think it's one in each division, though- so there's two conferences and there's two divisions in each conference.
Speaker 1:So in the West you have the Pacific and the Central, and then in the East you have the Metro and the Atlantic.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 1:So in the Pacific, the top three teams. Make the playoffs In each division make the playoffs and then after that they have two wildcard spots. So it can either be.
Speaker 2:And that's in the conference, that's in the conference that's in the conference.
Speaker 1:So you can have two, though in those two wild card spots you can have two more pacific teams, two more central teams, or one of each correct, and the top, uh, the whoever wins the division or whoever has the best record in the west, will play the worst wild card team and then after that it's the second, while the better wild card team will play the other division winner, and then the, the two and three seeds in each division will play against each other. So, like earlier, like in this, that Edmonton was number two and the Kings were number three. So they play against each other. And then the Central, it was Colorado and Winnipeg. They play against each other. But if we did like a one through eight format, it would be one versus eight, two versus seven, three versus six and five versus four.
Speaker 2:And if it could happen happen, we'll say the pacific divisions, just everybody's bad yeah maybe, maybe the winner of the division is a 500 team, they might make the playoffs and then all the rest of it would be the central. Yeah, because it'd be one through eight, two through seven, three, six, four against five yeah, but that's usually not going to happen not usually, but it could happen yeah, so it could be where one one of the divisions only gets one or two playoff teams and the other one will get four to six yeah I mean typically.
Speaker 1:This last year I think it was four and four in the in the western conference yes, it was four and four, and I think in the east it was also four and four because it was the capitals and no capitals, uh, they were.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it was the cap, yeah, capitals and the Lightning, so yeah, they actually had 4-4 there too, so right now that's not going to change. Yeah, at least not even for this next season. So we could talk all we want about it, but it's not happening this season, so we're going to move on from that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but other than that, just to finish off with the playoffs, there's four rounds. There's the division, then the conference semi, the conference finals and then you got the Stanley Cup final, and in each one it's best out of seven. So first to four wins moves on.
Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 1:All right, hockey lingo.
Speaker 2:We're going to go to hockey lingo. All right, you want me to start. Sure, all right Hockey lingo we're going to go to hockey lingo, all right.
Speaker 1:You want me to start? Sure? All right, and I believe I've said this on the podcast too An apple is also an assist. So you say like man, he had two apples in that game, that means he had two assists he had two apples, uh, in that game.
Speaker 2:That means he had to assist. Now, a lot of this is maybe not necessarily going to come out of an announcer's mouth, unless they're a prior hockey player, so some of these terms can be a little bit more obscure, but they're kind of fun and interesting to listen to I'm shocked by some of them. So yeah, so the next one. It's called a bar down, which makes perfect sense.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Or bar Mexico. I don't understand why they use Mexico.
Speaker 1:I don't understand it either.
Speaker 2:That would be a whole new search for me to do, but that's when that puck hits the top of the bottom of the crossbar and goes in yeah you know it doesn't ding and go somewhere else, it dings and goes in. That's a bar down. Yep, and they're fun. You can actually hear them, even on the radio yeah, when they're hitting those crossbars, or maybe it's like my notifications. It's a ding. As you guys probably have already heard a couple times on the podcast already.
Speaker 1:All right. So also, if you hear the words like barn like you know animal barn, you know it means a rink or an arena, so, like usually they'll be like oh yeah, we're playing in, uh, we're playing at the other the other team's barn on thursday that means they're talking about the stadium or the arena yes and then the a barn burner is used to describe a game that is high scoring, fast paced and exciting to watch yeah, those are fun games to go to those are great burn burners love them. They're fun.
Speaker 2:Most ducks kings games are, I wouldn't say, high scoring but they feel like a barn burner because they're just I don't care how bad one of the other team is they just don't want to lose to the other one.
Speaker 2:You know so been to those games, we've been on each side of those. Sometimes I win, sometimes Cody wins. So now there's the next term is beauty or beautician. That's a player on the team that's talented both on the ice and off and loved by the rest of the team. Typically he has great flow, great hands, can wheel ladies off the ice whoa, whoa, whoa, hubba, hubba and always has some good locker room stories yeah, you know, I know, I've heard that some players in the interviews like oh, can you describe this player?
Speaker 1:oh, yeah, he's a beaut. He's a beauty. You know, that's usually what they're talking about. You know they're. They have great chemistry on and off the ice with this player. I wouldn't know about the whole wheel of ladies off the ice, because most of these guys are married, you know. And, by the way, flow is also a term for their hair describe their hair. Yes, like trevor zgris has good flow. Yes, ryan gets off has no flow. I coat me good flow, dad, no flow okay god made perfect.
Speaker 2:Tansy put hair on.
Speaker 1:The rest of them rest my case, kid yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah all right, a bender, a player who is awful at hockey and whose ankles bend inwards because his skates don't fit right. He didn didn't tie them right, or he just can't skate.
Speaker 2:That would probably be my description, because I can't ice skate I would be a bender I would be a bender too.
Speaker 1:Or just put me in goal, I think I'd, even though I'm not flexible, but at least I'm big, tall. I got pretty decent hand-eye coordination and or reflexes.
Speaker 2:My reflexes are pretty good, I would say, even when I was young and a really good athlete skating. I could roller skate, but I wasn't great at it. I mean I was typically. I could pick up any sport and play it pretty good. You know, just give me a little bit of time, but skating wasn't in, it's not in my blood. So the next term is biscuit. No, we're not going to Popeyes. Or we're not going to KFC and get some butter and honey.
Speaker 2:A biscuit is another name for that thing. You can't see when it's going around the rink a lot of the time that's the puck. So you ever hear the term biscuit.
Speaker 1:They're talking about the puck yeah, bread basket a term that describes the goalie's chest, typically used when describing that you shot up, you put a shot right in the goalie's logo. You know, like, really you know logo right in the right in the middle. Easy save for the goalie.
Speaker 2:Yes, now the next term is a bucket. I'm going to give you five seconds to think what that one is Three, two, one. Obviously it's a helmet. Now I think of the bucket as the goalie helmet more than I do the other helmets, but I think they all could be called a bucket because every player is required to wear some kind of helmet. And another thing is is one thing you know, with the new reboot that the Kings did, their helmets looked really good, the black helmets especially looked really good.
Speaker 1:That's because they're matte now.
Speaker 2:They were more impressive. I mean, I don't ever want to be a chrome dome, I don't like the chrome. I like the uniform on the chrome with the chrome, but I don't like the chrome helmet so I kind of wouldn't mind seeing an orange chrome with the new jerseys.
Speaker 1:I think that'd be kind of cool to see me and adam talked about this a little bit when they were doing the whole rebrand thing before they actually came out. I think either seeing a Chrome, orange or a or orange mat I think would look great with the with the new new unis.
Speaker 2:I just don't like the the Chrome.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm not a fan. I mean other people are, so it's to everybody yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm not a fan. I mean other people are, so it's to everybody.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you want the next term, or?
Speaker 1:You take it.
Speaker 2:Okay, a Sally. Example Zegers, zooming down the right, comes around the net and puts in the Michigan and he's going to have a Sally. A celebration after a goal scored, depending on the score, stakes and opponent and varying levels of the selling, is acceptable. So you're up eight, nothing, you're not going to celebrate, you're not going to have a celly yeah, all right.
Speaker 1:The next one we I don't really need to explain, but I mean just for all those video game people out there, chell C-H-E-L. It's just the EA Sports NHL video game series. If you guys play it, let me know, because I do play from time to time, so maybe we could play together.
Speaker 2:Next one I've played once.
Speaker 1:I want to hear this.
Speaker 2:I want to know Guess who I beat I'm going to hear this.
Speaker 1:I want to know Guess who I beat.
Speaker 2:I'm going to mute you, some guy who quacked. He was quacking.
Speaker 1:He got beat by someone who never played the video game before. I'd like for us to play now and see how that goes.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'd probably get crushed.
Speaker 1:Anyways, next one Chicklets. Not, you know little chicks, you know the ducks. You, you know little chicks, you know the ducks, you know little chicks. No, no, chicklets. And there's actually a podcast that has this name and it's spitting chicklets. Um, chicklets is another term for teeth, usually used to describing the lack thereof for certain players Dowdy.
Speaker 2:I was thinking Dowdy right away.
Speaker 1:Brent Burns.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh God, there's another one. I can't think of his name, but yeah, those are, I would say, probably the top two of really being well-known for not, I would say right now, for not having for missing some chiclets.
Speaker 2:You ever saw Youngblood, the guy that had false teeth. He had no chiclets. Chirp, better known as trash talk, directed toward the opponent, their bench or the refs, usually doesn't work as well with the refs as it does with everyone else, beings that I've been an official for well, I'm not really doing it anymore, but for about 25 years I did officiating Trash talk. Some people have made it an art and I go. But here's my definition of trash talk that's someone who has to tell you how good they are because they're not sure how good they are. What did I always tell you? If you have to tell somebody, you're not good enough you better get better before you start talking to anybody.
Speaker 1:So that's my thing on um a slap shot or, sorry, a clapper boy. You gave it away. Yeah, so clapper is a slap shot in reference to someone with a powerful slap shot or a slap shot that results in a goal. So they'll usually be like I mean, I look at that clapper, they just scored slap shot. So, and the next one coast to coast. This is in other sports as well, I would say you probably hear it more. I would say in either hockey or basketball, the probably the two more common ones.
Speaker 2:I think basketball says it a little bit more yeah, I would say basketball a little bit more you get the rebound, you take it all the way down and score Coast to coast.
Speaker 1:Coast to coast. There you go. He described it for me. Oh sorry.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, you did steal it. You went two in a row.
Speaker 1:I don't care, you can skip that next one if you want.
Speaker 2:Well, I'll just say it I'm not a fan. Dinger is a pinch of chewing tobacco that players enjoy in the locker room before and after the game. Talk to Tony Gwynn about that.
Speaker 1:It's kind of hard to talk to him about it.
Speaker 2:Well, that's because you can't. Because, he got cancer from chewing tobacco.
Speaker 1:Such a shame.
Speaker 2:He ended up taking his life. You're talking Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1:One of the nicest guys at baseball, nicest guys you'd ever meet some of his stats are crazy yeah I see it on tiktok or instagram all the time. If you guys don't just look up like unbelievable tony uh, tony gwynn stats and you'll be like wow wow, yeah, he was something with the bat, that's for sure. All right. Next one Duster or Dusty May or may not also be a bender, but is definitely very bad at hockey, Gets very little ice time, and when he does get out on the ice it's at the end of the game when the score is out of hand.
Speaker 2:So pretty much the coach, the coach's son well, that would be probably for youth hockey. But yeah, uh, dust it off when a defenseman quickly stick handles the puck, then dishes it off to a teammate yep, next one.
Speaker 1:You'll hear this term a lot when there's fights or you know a little. Confrontation between two teams is face wash.
Speaker 2:That's when a player sticks his gloves or palm first into an opponent's face to annoy him a fishbowl, a helmet with a full plastic shield instead of a cage, typically used as an insult, and trash talk.
Speaker 1:The opinions vary widely on this yeah but if you wear one you're like likely one of the best players on the ice or the worst, one or the other yep, uh, if you guys look up what uh carna bedard was wearing after he got, uh, I think he broke his jaw or something like that. He was wearing the fishbowl. It's like a. It's like a clear how a clear helmet that goes over your whole face. A cage is usually what you see players wear in the NCAA hockey. You know, it would be just like it looks kind of like a goalie mask, but just a lot more squares or more protection, pretty much.
Speaker 2:I honestly think you know daddy'd still have his teeth if he wore a cage. I think that should be. That would be mandatory. I'd wear a cage.
Speaker 1:Yeah, while we're also on the helmet thing, so now players that are coming into the league at minimum have to have the visor. Now only I want to say four, five, six players in the league still don't have the visor because they were grandfathered in, so before a certain time you didn't have to wear the visor. Because they were grandfathered in, so before a certain time you didn't have to wear the visor. You could just wore just the helmet and your whole face was just open for contact, pretty much Like Ryan Getzloff. He was one of those that was grandfathered in. He didn't wear the visor yeah, brent burns probably does he?
Speaker 1:does he not wear the visor?
Speaker 2:I don't know if he does, but he would be grandfathered if he didn't want to wear it.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, um, who? I'm trying to think? Pavelski, maybe. I'm trying to think, oh, I think ryan reeves doesn't wear one, but then he likes to get into fights anyway, so I don't think that matters to him get into fights anyway, so I don't think that matters to him. Um, but yeah, so, yeah, so you have the, just the helmet or the visor, the fishbowl or the cage. That's usually like the, the top choices in hockey.
Speaker 1:I would say in the nhl it's mostly the visor all right, you got the next one flow, which we kind of already talked about earlier, is great hockey hair, typically long, that flows out of the helmet. When a player skates like sabana jad, sabana, jad eric carlson, like I said, zegras, ziggy palfrey when back in the day, drew Drew, drew, dowdy, I would say too, you got the long hair.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to think of somebody else. You know, you know, someone just has nice long run, Run do gay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he had he was a guy back in the day, so that was flow. Now it's for the boys, or FTB.
Speaker 3:It's used to describe any actions that the rest of the team enjoys or when a player makes a sacrifice for the team.
Speaker 1:A Geno is a goal that is scored, not the net. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2:I've never heard of it before. I hadn't heard of a Geno either. So yeah, we'll skip that one uh, are you gonna get the fun one, or maybe I'm just gonna take two in a row. I'm taking two in a row I hate you I know gong show has multiple meanings.
Speaker 2:one used to describe the craziness that ensues when hockey players drink, party or go to the bar. Two, a game that gets completely out of hand, with multiple fights, lots of penalties and lots of goals. So why, cody's mad, the Gordie Howe hat trick? I'll let you. Well, I'll do this when a player scores a goal, gets an assist and is in a fight all in the same game you know it's funny.
Speaker 1:I don't know why they call it a gordy how hat trick. He only did it like two or three times, and I don't think he was the first one either. So pretty much guys in in one game. If a player scores a goal, also has an assist and also gets a in a fight in the game, that's what they call a gordy how hat trick, doesn't? It doesn't, I would say, happens what? Four or five, six times every year maybe. Well, fighting is going down more and more every year. So, um, but while we're on the tip topic of hat trick, a hat trick is when a player scores three goals in one game. So and that's why you'll see hats getting thrown on the ice usually is that's a hat trick. Like I went to um, but toronto's first hat trick of this of the season, last year at home for the home opener, he scored a hat trick. I did not throw my hat because I enjoyed my hat people ask can they get their hat back?
Speaker 1:you actually can, you can but it's it's like you gotta like find the right person to show you where the hats are and you can go get it.
Speaker 2:But it's like the trust system you just donated it. And what happens typically to the hats as they get donated, they get donated to places that need them. So it's not like you've wasted it, I mean, so throw that out there all right, since you took two, I'm gonna take another one.
Speaker 1:All right, a grinder, okay, a player that populates the lower lines or lower pairings, his has hands of stone but is a physical and works hard when he's out in the ice, usually beloved by the rest of the team, I would say that's also like like an enforcer, you know. I would say you know like someone, like where someone's, like someone had a good hit on one of your players but you know you didn't really like the hit. You send the grinder out there and let them do their thing. They'll get physical with the player and usually matt green.
Speaker 2:What can I think of his name?
Speaker 1:nick delorier for ducks fans I think, robin reguerre.
Speaker 2:I mean, these guys all want a stanley cup with the kings and they're not like, if you look up their stats, their stats aren't great. They were a grinder, yeah. And there's another guy I just can't think of his. If you look up their stats, their stats aren't great, they were a grinder.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and there's another guy I just can't think of his name. If I come up with it later, I'll I'll mention it. Yep, okay, grocery stick. A player that sits on the bench the whole game between the forwards and defense, acting like a separator, like the checkout line at the store.
Speaker 1:He can be also a duster, like a separator, like the checkout line at the store. I never heard this one.
Speaker 2:Also a duster and maybe a bender. Or maybe he goes dusting and then he goes on a bender, I don't know.
Speaker 1:There you go. All right, hoser.
Speaker 2:We actually know a guy whose nickname is Hoser.
Speaker 1:Well, I would hate to have this kind of nickname oh I know who you're talking about now, okay, yeah, well, but in hockey terms and in I know a lot of canadian it's more of like a canadian thing because I hear it on some shows it's a hoser is another name for a loser, typically intended as an insult, and trash talk comes from the early hockey days when the losing team had to hose down the ice with water after the game because the zamboni had not been invented yet. I did not know that that's why I did not know that.
Speaker 2:That's why I did not know that either. That's great, yeah, you hoser, I think you hear it, actually no, I don't think they really say it much in the show Shorzy, but go on. Don't they have that in the grown-up movie, where somebody gets called a hoser oh. Isn't that Canadian guy? Who's all I got you?
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh no, he doesn't say. Does he say hoser or teaser? Oh you, hoser or teaser? Yeah, I know, I know, exactly yeah.
Speaker 2:Hey, baby yeah. I'm from a scotch, yes, Okay, now, now, now we we've got a term that's named after a player cronwald a big hit by a defenseman named after nicholas cronwald. He was one of those other guys where that other term we talked about.
Speaker 1:That's just another example of it I've never really heard anyone say cronwald, yeah, unless. But maybe they've said it, I just wasn't fully paying attention to it.
Speaker 2:He's been retired for a while, so the term may have fizzled out fizzled out, maybe just a little bit.
Speaker 1:Um, here's something that you've kind of told, told me to do and, and when you coached me in soccer, lay the lumber on him, a slash or a hit with the stick, you know well, it was. It was different because you know well, you told me to do it clean, because you knew I could do it well clean, so so so you have in soccer.
Speaker 2:Cody was a very outstanding goalkeeper, not a goalie. One reason I say goalkeeper a lot is because that offended him if I called him a goalkeeper or a goalie. I'm a goalkeeper, dad. Well, he'd go to get the ball and somebody's coming at him and a couple of times it's like he picked it up and they like tried to kick it out of his hand and I go, you need to come up with your knee. So then if he does come that close to you, he goes down and he's not going to want to do it again.
Speaker 1:I guarantee you, when I hit someone, they didn't want to come anywhere near me after that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the guy from Norco.
Speaker 1:Was it norco oh?
Speaker 2:with the long hair oh yeah, uh, pony boy yeah, yeah, pony boy, ponytail boy, you, you, you took him.
Speaker 1:He wouldn't come back near you again no, I think there was someone that like it. I was playing on the field when you told me to do it.
Speaker 2:Oh no, that was when the we All-Stars and we were playing Paris. Yeah, no, I take it back, it was the regular Tournament of Champions, yeah. And I had. I had. Well, you played in the field for me and they were beating us. I mean, their team that beat us was their all-star team too, so they basically took every player, put them on one team. They won everything.
Speaker 1:Paris usually always had good teams anyways.
Speaker 2:They had a good enough team. They could have competed anyways, but they had their all-star team and they were up 5-0. I could hear the coach yelling go score a goal and I'm done you better not and I they were, they were just dominating.
Speaker 1:we had no chance and, honestly, like there's a point where we weren't coming back in the game and they wanted to keep scoring. So my dad's's like hey Well, I basically you just said, take him out, but make look.
Speaker 2:I go if the goalie goalkeeper a goalie, whatever.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Crosses the midfield, somebody put him down and you get a hot fudge sundae, whoever does it. I give it to everybody.
Speaker 1:It was a delicious hot sundae.
Speaker 2:I could tell you that well, no, he never came across the line because, no, no no, he tried.
Speaker 1:I took him up before he got there. I missed that. Yeah, I laid him out.
Speaker 2:I might have been turning around because your mom was telling me you can't say that yeah, because trust me I would.
Speaker 1:I was because he saw me coming and he kind of went back, but I still got a good hit on him I.
Speaker 2:I literally got kicked out of a game because cody wasn't hustling and I go if you don't start hustling, I'm gonna kick you in the butt no, you said you get your butt in gear. No I said I was gonna kick you in the butt oh, this story's changed so many times no, I was gonna kick, anyways, the next anyways I got the next term I got kicked out of the game for that, so that was far worse.
Speaker 1:Telling them to put someone down so, but it's not like I went. I was gonna go and cross, you know, punch him or clothesline him.
Speaker 2:It was like keep it in the good shoulder, a good shoulder, put him on the ground. I wasn't saying like punch him or hit him, or of course I grabbed him and I did I did say something to him.
Speaker 1:What after I laid him out and I was like, if you ever leave the box with the ball like that again you're not going to be able to play the rest of the tournament. I was like, I'm like, I will, I will like my sole purpose is to take you out now. And he's he. He didn't even he threw the ball or kicked it every time after that well, they didn't need to do it anyways, because no, they had the game one.
Speaker 2:That's where we're like the previous thing, we talked about Games out of hand. You don't celebrate. Yeah, so that you did the lay the lumber on him. Yeah, so now we're on the next one. Now we're on to lettuce. I don't know why I'm saying it. A great head of hockey here Also. See flow, flow or salad Salad.
Speaker 1:Yeah, salad.
Speaker 2:Hey, cody, you got salad. Thanks, hey, dad, you have no salad. Okay, I'm gonna take two in a row. Light, the lamp light, the lamp score a goal, in reference to the red light that goes on behind the net and the train, train whistle, the horn, the goal horn, but it's a train whistle whatever it's, a goal horn, all right, right.
Speaker 1:Next one Lip sweater. Actually, I have heard this one.
Speaker 2:A lip sweater is, I'm pretty sure, if you can guess, it's a mustache Typically grown out during the month of November for the no shave November, or November for the movember that supports the male health issues. Okay, next one is Lumber. Can you guess what that is? It's a hockey stick. Hockey sticks aren't just made of wood. Now, if you ever watch them, watch them in slow motion, like watch Dowdy or some of those big slap shot guys see the bend in that hockey and it's that recoil just sends the puck flying.
Speaker 1:Yeah all right mitts refers to a player's hands, often described as silky when a player has great skill. Also also refers to a player's gloves, as in dropping the mitts in a fight boy, we seem to have a lot of descriptive terms here.
Speaker 2:A muzzy. Can you guess what a muzzy is? Yep, it's a lip sweater. Sorry, um, that's it. Lip Blip the letter.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right, I'm going to skip that next one because I don't really care about that. A pigeon describes a player that isn't good enough to score goals by himself, so he picks up the trash. There's a Mighty Ducks D3 reference there of his more skilled line mates, often used as trash talk, as made by famous by claude geroux okay, next term is a playmaker better known as connor mcdavid, sydney crosby, nikita kucherov yeah, I mean kel.
Speaker 2:Macar he can be anywhere on the ice and be a playmate.
Speaker 1:A plumber, similar to a grinder, a player that loves to do the dirty work in the corners and go into the dirty areas. Not the most skilled player, but a hard worker.
Speaker 2:A pylon, a player that is extremely slow out on the ice, but a hard worker. A pylon, a player that is extremely slow out on the ice and can easily be skated around Likely a big guy. We would say hey, get the piano off your back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, ride the pine when a player spends the entire game sitting on in the bench and not getting any playing time, usually reserved for benders and dusters you can have the next one too, all right, we've already kind of talked about this one salad, beautiful hockey hair also, you know, flow or lettuce sauce or saucy, a well executed saucer pass, a pass that goes in the air and hits back on the ice right before getting to the recipient and sits flat on the receiving player's tape also know, like a saucer. Yeah, saucer pass saucy, yeah, saucer pass, I mean byfield.
Speaker 1:Had a couple of those last year that were just incredible yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see him playing with fiala the next one, the show, the nhl used in context of making it to the show. Usually you'll hear this, like when uh are making their debuts and everything like that Like hey, welcome to the show, you know it's a big baseball term too. Yeah.
Speaker 2:For the same reason.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:OK, a sieve. Sieve is an awful goalie that has many holes to shoot through. We do not want a sieve playing goalie for us. I just put it in a sentence.
Speaker 1:Next one a snipe, a powerful or well-placed shot that results in a pretty goal.
Speaker 2:Every bar down shot is a snipe, but not every snipe goes bar down yeah uh reference uh, alex ovechkin he sniped that shot top cheese or cheddar used to describe a shot that goes in off or right below the crossbar or in soccer terms like that we sometimes use, is uh, if hit the corners like upper 90.
Speaker 1:Because you know it's a 90 degree angle. So if you hit the corner it was a upper 90. All right, Turtle. When one of the players in a fight would rather not and just crouches or falls onto his knees and covers himself, I would think that would be more like an armadillo than a turtle.
Speaker 2:But Okay, twig, I get the hockey stick thing again. Okay, even though none are made of wood anymore, because they're not made of wood anymore, h, but it's a hockey stick.
Speaker 1:Wheeling, the act of picking up girls to be a beauty, you, you, you must be very good at being able to wheel girls.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's not really, I would say, a real hockey term, but well, I'm sure they have them, just like every other sport where girls are chasing them down. So yeah they got a wheel sometime. I guess where mama keeps the peanut butter. I like this one goal scored in the uppermost part of the net. Just what cosy's cody said about the upper 90. Yeah, that would be where mama keeps the peanut butter yep, all right.
Speaker 1:So let's see if, oh, schneid I'm looking through the comments now on the article a schneid is someone who's is in a like a playoff or not playoff drought, like a gold drought, so they haven't scored in a while and they finally scored, they say, oh, he's finally off the schneid. So it's usually a term like someone's been struggling and everything like that. Um wheels, referring to skates or legs or speed, like Conor McDavid's got some wheels on him. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, houdini.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Houdini.
Speaker 2:Pulling a move off by accident or using sleight of hand and fooling the defenseman goalie in the process? Was it Kucherov that got the goalie twice, had the puck, let it go and looked like he was doing something else and just skated away and went right between the goalie's legs twice. Wasn't it Kucherov?
Speaker 1:It was Kucherov, but that's an actual move.
Speaker 2:But that's a Houdini too. It's a slide of hand. Yeah, it's trick, actual move. But that's a Houdini too. Yeah, Well it's, it's slight of hand. Yeah, it's, it's tricking them.
Speaker 1:It's called the no move.
Speaker 2:Move but it's still Houdini.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let's see. Oh, they've uh dangle. I forgot how to describe dangle. I want to say it's like a move. I want to say it's like a move, I would think it would be dangling the puck and then wheeling it right around somebody. I see why he's doing that Bambi, a bad skater.
Speaker 2:who is so bad? They look like a deer just being born.
Speaker 1:I can believe that that was me when I tried to ice skate again. All right, when I try to ice skate again, all right. Dangle refers to the act of skillful skillfully maneuvering the puck on a player's stick blade to deceive the opponents and navigate through tight spaces with finesse. Finesse, like damn, he dangled his way through. That, you know, is that's pretty much what it's saying.

Speaker 2:Well, they had a lot for for mustaches, didn't they?
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I mean, beards are, I would say, or facial hair is, I think, a big part of hockey Because you've got the playoff beard. So a playoff beard is it's a superstitious thing. I mean, I would probably do it too, because when it comes to playing sports I can be very superstitious. Where you don't shave at all throughout the whole playoffs, you don't shave until you. Throughout the whole playoffs you don't shave until you you're. You either win or you get eliminated, like that's why you see conor mcdavid usually he's all clean shaven. Then you saw the playoffs he full beard.
Speaker 2:So, like for me, I have a permanent so you, you got a regular maybe, maybe, a no shave november. Maybe I'll grow a beard. It's been.
Speaker 1:I would like to see that before your mom wow the last time I had a beard.
Speaker 2:I don't grow it as well as you do.
Speaker 1:Well, it's not really like tim tim definitely I think, oh, I just smacked the crap out of my mic, what all? Right? Anyways, I would say tim, I would say man, he is the hairiest out of all of us yeah, he's.
Speaker 1:He's a little bit of a sasquatch I I know he's something like that, I know he's gonna hate that I say this, but I remember when we used to go to great clips and stuff like that and, um, they asked where tim was. But I told him his nickname at the time and because he was only able to grow the like the facial hair under his chin, so I called him amish boy. I remember that and uh, and when I, when I walked in like oh, where's your brother, amish boy, and I just started, I was like oh God.
Speaker 2:You're so evil.
Speaker 1:I am so evil, I think.
Speaker 2:No, I won't say that story, okay, I'm just going to tell you something. I'll tell you all right now. Thursday Sometime Thursday, his mom's going to be calling Cody.

I forgot to mention this earlier but I'll add it in post-production because I forgot to save it onto this computer. But I was bored one day at work because I had to wait, let's just say, for multiple hours for my truck at work. So I was just sitting in my car literally doing nothing. So I was playing around with some stuff and I found a way to make an ai generated song. So I thought, oh, let's make one for the podcast.
