00:00As far as the hockey games, yeah, full slate and Thatcher Demko guys,

00:03one of the best goalies in the NHL point blank, like he was and he has been.

00:07So he's had injury problems and kind of like McCaffrey.

00:10He had like a weird, weird injury, bro.

00:13Like he's flying around the world.

00:14He's in Austria and Switzerland and like this specialist and not specialist.

00:19And they couldn't figure it out.

00:20They literally said, you have a one in a million injury, bro.

00:23And they said, we don't we can't figure this out.

00:26Like, it's just you're going to have to wait it out.

00:28And he literally waited like a year.

00:30It's a weird thing in his knee like that.

00:33It's like not it's not has it happened like you.

00:36I mean, it's they can't really see it, but he's not.

00:39Well, it was one of these really weird injuries, Scott, but he fought through it.

00:43And he didn't play in the playoffs last year, of course.

00:46And they've been patient with them.

00:47He's been working out with the team and practicing for like a month,

00:50a couple of weeks, et cetera.

00:52He's ready to go.

00:53So he's playing his debut game tonight.

00:54And since we're off due to the party, I'm going to go to the blue game tonight.

00:58Give me the under six and a half in this hockey game.

01:01Wow. Because Demko's back.

01:03I never. Demko's back.

01:04They'll play tough in front of him.

01:06It reminds me of Matt Murray.

01:08He had all the injuries and after he won two cups.

01:12And then look at him now.

01:13I've always worried about goalies with injuries.

01:16And I'll tell you another thing.

01:18They just gave this guy Igor all this money with the Rangers for eight years.

01:21I don't give anybody that's a goalie eight years.

01:24I don't know why they did that.

01:25The Rangers aren't very good.

01:27I don't they'd always be better off trading them, to be honest.
