00:00The Panthers win yesterday in overtime.
00:05Alexander Barkov with the game winner.
00:08Here was the call by Doug Plagan yesterday on WQAM.
00:12Barkov, Barkov into the right circle, looks around.
00:15Jones fakes the shot, gives to Barkov.
00:17Barkov to the high slider shot, and he scores!
00:20There's the overtime winner!
00:22Alexander Barkov, 30 seconds into overtime.
00:26A power play goal for the game winner.
00:29The Panthers strike first.
00:31It took over 60 minutes of hockey.
00:33The Panthers get it done.
00:35A huge win here in Columbus tonight.
00:371-0 the final in overtime.
00:39Wow.
00:40Yeah.
00:41Doug Plagan, man, that guy can call a game.
00:43He's good.
00:44And a fight for that.
00:45Oh, he can call a fight.
00:46I love when he calls a fight.
00:47It's the best.
00:48He can call a fight.
00:49Very entertaining.
00:50I'm telling you, he can call a fight.
00:52He really is a marvelous, marvelous broadcaster.
00:55Now yesterday, the Maple Leafs did beat the Rangers 4-3,
00:58so I believe they kept pace, as did the Lightning,
01:02who won in a shootout.
01:04So I believe we are tied right now amongst?
01:07Yeah, we're tied.
01:08We're tied with them.
01:10Yeah, it's 87 points.
01:12But we're ahead of them because we have two more wins.
01:15Right.
01:16But do they have games in hand?
01:17No.
01:18No, we are even at games.
01:19Even up.
01:20That's right.
01:21And we have two more against them toward the end of the season.
01:24This is going to be a hell of a race, Vlad.
01:26You got the Lightning are back just a couple of points there as well.
01:29This is going to be a fun little contest.
01:32That wild card win yesterday for the Blue Jackets,
01:35who are trying to make a little bit of a run ski on their own, right?
01:39But the Cats were able to get them yesterday.
01:42So that one puts them back to 71 points.
01:44You have Montreal in that final spot at 74.
01:47So that right there is where we stand.
01:50Of course, the big news yesterday also,
01:52Sergei Bobrovsky, his fifth shutout of the season.
01:56He's one away from tying his mark last year,
01:58and he has just been absolutely incredible against his former team,
02:02the Columbus Blue Jackets.
02:04We poached him.
02:05You want a couple of business over there, right?
02:07He comes over here because he was tired of freezing his ass off.
02:10And he poachers.
02:12We are some poachers.
02:14That's right.
02:15You got talent.
02:16We'll take it.
02:17Here was Sergei Bobrovsky talking about that.
02:19He took incredible focus against Columbus.
02:22Yeah, it was a great game.
02:23It was a playoff-style game.
02:25I thought the opponent played hard.
02:26The opponent played a good game.
02:28But we worked hard.
02:30We had a great focus, great concentration.
02:33We worked together.
02:34We worked tight, and we just grinded out.
02:36It's a big point for us.
02:38I like how he doesn't even refer to them as a team.
02:41He just calls them opponent.
02:43Yeah, they're his ops.
02:45That's why I like it.
02:46That's all Russian tough talk right there.
02:48We have opponents.
02:49We have opponents.
02:50Yeah, he says it like it's respectful, but not respectful.
02:54Right.
02:55I respect them, but I dislike them at the same time.
02:57You're just a blur to me.
02:58It doesn't even matter who you are.
03:00You're just in front of me, and I'm going to stop pucks.
03:02Do you see how furious he is?
03:03Because Columbus, they called original goal yesterday late.
03:07But it was a kick.
03:09He kicked it in, and Bob immediately was going to the ref.
03:12Going, hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm sorry.
03:15Is this messy on the ice?
03:18He was not dealing with that.
03:20This was Bob saying that he was in an incredible flow yesterday.
03:26This one was a good game.
03:28I had lots of action around my net.
03:30I was in the flow.
03:32I was in the game.
03:33It was a fun game to play that floater.
03:37I love that.
03:38That's another word for focus.
03:39Flow?
03:40He loves the four-letter words.
03:43I mean, the F words.
03:44He loves the F words.
03:45He does.
03:47Bruce Lee said, be water.
03:49Be flow.
03:50He says, go Lee.
03:52He says, be ice.
03:53Go Lee.
03:54That's what Bob says.
03:55Be ice, dude.
03:56That's his flow.
03:57Minus one.
03:58Why, dude?
03:59That's a good call.
04:00That's a good call there.
04:01That's a good call.
04:02Bob has also been incredible this month.
04:04But he doesn't want to hear about what his month has been like because he doesn't focus on months.
04:09You haven't had a game with more than two goals all month.
04:12I don't think about that.
04:14I focus on just one shot at a time.
04:17And every game, every opponent brings a different challenge.
04:21And I try to focus and bring my best to help the team, help the team to give the team a chance.
04:26All right.
04:27If we ain't played a game and we had to take a shot for every time.
04:33Oh, man.
04:35He said focus, opponent, flow.
04:39We'd be hammered.
04:41We'd be hammered, dude.
04:44I don't think about that.
04:45We wouldn't stand a chance.
04:46By the first time, we would be done.
04:49Done.
04:50We'd be like.
04:51This needs to be studied.
04:52It's like there's Mamba mentality.
04:54But this is like anytime I focus on anything, I will always think of Bob now.
04:58He's incredible.
04:59He's such a great mark of like the psycho athlete.
05:05Yeah.
05:06Because this man really is.
05:07Like he is a hockey samurai.
05:10He will not break whatever his focus or traditions or routine are.
05:16And listen, it speaks to his longevity.
05:19I mean, that's why the Panthers are so comfortable thinking that he's going to last.
05:24Because, I mean, he doesn't look like a guy slowing down.
05:27He's having another incredible season.
05:30They trust him in big moments.
05:32And they shipped Spencer Nighthawk for him.
05:35They're like, all right.
05:36See you, dude.
05:37You know what our boy Gus Forsling did yesterday?
05:39What did he do?
05:40Yeah.
05:41Yesterday, Gustav Forsling, friend of the show, he goes out there.
05:48And he hits a real piss whistle yesterday, Vlad.
05:53He had a 105.05 mile per hour slap shot in the first period.
05:59It said this was from NHL Public Relations.
06:03Marked the second hardest shot tracked by the NHL Edge era.
06:07That's since 2001-2002, which was Taige Thompson,
06:11which had a 106 mile an hour slap shot.
06:14So he just like he blasted one yesterday.
06:17Pretty cool.
06:18That's what happens.
06:19We knew that he was coming in with some serious.
06:21What happens when you get in the show?
06:22You just see the shot, too.
06:24He was like, here we go.
06:26Watch.
06:27You'll see 42.
06:28Was the shot stopped?
06:30Of course.
06:31Which is crazier.
06:33I'm saying, like, I'm more impressed by the guy that stopped the shot
06:36than the guy that shot it.
06:37That's got to hurt still.
06:39105 miles an hour.
06:41That's rough.
06:42Good God.
06:44Imagine that to the ankle.
06:45Oh, no.
06:47Oh, yeah.
06:48He would have been like.
06:49Yeah, I think, look, man, the golden touch of the show continues.
06:55It does.
06:56That's another person.
06:57So the jinx has been reversed.
07:00I think so.
07:01It's definitely a good thing to come on.
07:02I feel like we should not talk about it that much.
07:04It continues going.
07:05Be cool.
07:06Be cool.
07:07Or maybe Leroy's the jinx.
07:08Hard to say.
07:09Because he interviewed him.
07:11Yeah.
