nice mental game wow it's PROFANITY_TOKEN cool but that's a guy we need to have on a hundred percent what but i tell you that story to tell you the culture that we're talking about here yeah the the solution to getting assaulted on the ice was to do it yourself and it's still there like we're decades later and it's still there and mcdavid started to adapt last year crosby has adapted and we look at crosby a lot of people look down on crosby understandably so a lot of capitals fans i kind of get it there's baggage there they look down on him as if he's a dirty player is he a dirty player or he is he a byproduct of hockey does that make sense sure imagine a league in which sydney crosby was allowed to be well imagine a league where uh brad marchand gets suspended for licking a man twice like like even bruins fans have got to be like okay if i take my bruins drizzy off for a second if somebody did that to my player i'd be pretty upset um who and i i say this as a fan of brad marchand yeah that should have been who's who's the bag of rocks who's the bag of rocks who got suspended for spitting on someone you spat on erika branson uh i don't know i forget his name but he even goes the other way imagine what's the difference right right now three coven imagine being nazim kadri and not getting a penalty for blowing on somebody and skating on the ice by yourself you know it goes the other way where the refs will they don't like you and now you're on the list and now everything you do is a penalty we talked about this recently uh nazim kadri we made the mistake as lee fans we pointed out nazim cadre had an amazing uh penalty differential because there's now a stat for that there's a stat the refs can attack and they can look and say uh oh this guy's getting too many he's gonna get more now and he's no no no no no like he's drawing too many oh getting too many calls and it was like it was something like NUMBER_TOKEN straight games they didn't and babcock had to speak up and go you can't guys guys this is getting ridiculous you have to call something and like the next game they called something before i'm sure going on another streak of NUMBER_TOKEN. and just they know okay listen to make it not that obvious we gotta call a penalty for something that happens to nas let's say every eight games they're PROFANITY_TOKEN horrible at their jobs horrible genuinely horrible i don't want to hear any of them on any PROFANITY_TOKEN show joking around i don't want to hear about what great guys they are they're shitty and they're holding the sport it's fall which means football season is in full swing and that means for you ah that's a way to get some skin in the game and have a little extra fun and that's why bet mgm remains the exclusive betting partner of the athletic as a
