00:00What a slow, crappy start.
00:02Yeah, it was a bad start for the Cavs.
00:04I mean, you didn't even recognize them, right?
00:06It was weird.
00:06They were like, you know what it felt like?
00:09They had a hangover.
00:10A little bit.
00:11It felt like, and Toronto went into the game,
00:16and they were like, you know, they've been kicking our butts
00:19and being physical for the last two years, right?
00:22If we're going to win, we're going to have to be quick, fast,
00:27physical, and get after it.
00:29I thought they were still going to win.
00:30When they made it 4-3, I was like, oh, cats are winning this thing.
00:35And then Nico Mikula, because he's a polar bear on skates,
00:38you can't control him.
00:40Cats couldn't stay out of the box last night.
00:42It was the craziest.
00:44I'm like, hold it on to the stick.
00:47You're not near the puck.
00:49Let it go.
00:50Nico, you're too big to get away with the tactics
00:54of hitting somebody upside the head next to a bench.
00:57And then the worst part is,
00:59the skate of shame.
01:01When they take that skate to the box.
01:03They escort you.
01:04Yeah, they escort you.
01:05And you're like, oh, I'm sorry, guys.
01:09Well, I mean, like, this is the guy who's like,
01:11it's the one filthy, just like we like it.
01:13I'm like, no.
01:15What am I supposed to do?
01:16I'm supposed to get mad at that guy.
01:17This is, he's two minute filthy.
01:19That's his new nickname.
01:20Two minute filthy.
01:21Yeah, it was two, two, one filthy.
01:23That's how we like it.
01:25And a tight game, tight game.
01:27What we expected.
01:28And it was good to play against the Eastern team.
01:31And like, you can't control him.
01:34You can't control him.
01:35Like, he eats a salmon, like literally out of the stream.
01:39You like, he's like, oh, what are you kidding?
01:42That's all I did.
01:43Nico, Nico, the eating.
01:44Just like.
01:44Standing on the end.
01:45When they jump in the air.
01:47Just catching them.
01:48Oh.
01:49Cross check.
01:51Panthers.
01:51Everybody's mad at him again.
01:52Because our friend.
01:55Our friend.
01:56Peaky blinders.
01:58Stoli the goalie got taken out.
02:00Oh, yeah.
02:01Because Sam Bennett.
02:03I don't know if I should call him a good boy.
02:05He's a misunderstood boy.
02:07He's a misunderstood boy.
02:08You mean it starts with him.
02:10A menace.
02:11No, he is a menace.
02:12He is a menace.
02:13He's an angry boy.
02:14And our guy, our champion, Anthony Stolarz.
02:19Now, the goaltender for the Blue Leafs, he starts throwing up in the middle of the game
02:27after it appears he took a chicken wing from Sam Bennett, who was going for the puck, by
02:34the way.
02:34He had the puck.
02:36And all of a sudden, they're just like, yeah, Stolarz is throwing up on the bench.
02:40Then they're like, yeah, now he's gone.
02:41Then they're like, oh, he's taken away.
02:44That's like.
02:45That's like.
02:46Yeah, it was serious.
02:46When you throw up from a concussion, straight to the hospital.
02:51They and then, you know, people are freaking out.
02:54They're really, really mad at him.
02:55Now.
02:56The guy hit me for that.
02:57I'm going to point out.
02:59The dude took a rocket off the dome from Sam Reinhardt.
03:02And he was trying to shake it off.
03:04He and in the in the NHL, you're like your master meant to collapse when that happens as
03:09a as a, you know, so you don't get the bell ringing like it's supposed to detach to help
03:14with that.
03:14But dude was clearly lit up from that.
03:17Um, but yeah, I look, I get it.
03:20It's it's Sam Bennett.
03:21So it's tough because it's like, oh, you just always around trouble.
03:27Sam Bennett.
03:28Is he Draymond Green of hockey?
03:31You know, this is what happened with Boston last year.
03:33Everybody's like, you know what you did to Marshan with that with that punch.
03:37Now, nothing appears like it's going to happen.
03:40No, nothing's going to happen because you can't ignore that rifle of a shot that hit
03:45him right square in the dome.
03:47People are mad at them at the Panthers because, you know, he wasn't made available to the media
03:52yesterday.
03:52And he didn't answer his quote.
03:54He didn't answer.
03:55Look at it.
03:57Look at this.
03:57Look at this face.
03:58You can already tell hockey.
04:00You can already tell how he's coming out.
04:02This is the, uh, Toronto, Craig, Craig Barube.
04:07I think that he is, uh, he's hockey.
04:10He's already tell his face.
04:11Maple Leafs, Maple Leafs coach.
04:13And, uh, this is what he had to say on the Bennett hit.
04:15Craig, what was your view on the Sam Bennett hit on Stolar's and elbow to the head?
04:20Yeah.
04:21Clearly.
04:21Yeah.
04:22Clear.
04:23Clear as day.
04:25Were you satisfied with your players response to that?
04:27Like, did they handle it the way you would like or?
04:31Yeah.
04:32I mean, I, I don't know what you, I mean, I think at the time, I think, you know, we handled
04:43it the way we should handle it.
04:44I'm not sure why, uh, there's not a call on it.
04:49Um, but you know, I get it.
04:52They missed calls, but it's clearly a, it's clearly a penalty.
04:59Somebody said he looks like the district, a district DA.
05:02Right?
05:03The hockey district attorney.
05:05But wait, here's the deal.
05:07And, and here's why.
05:11I think.
05:12People need to be careful because if this coach or Toronto, the team, I don't care what the
05:23fans do.
05:23They're going to do, cause I'm with, I do a show with you.
05:27So I know how fans react.
05:30If they don't even mention the fact that he got hit by an 80 plus 90 plus mile an hour
05:37puck straight to the head.
05:39If they don't, then they are, you know, kind of being ridiculous.
05:46Nobody seemed to really mention the puck thing until after the game and everybody was going
05:51by the hit because he's taken out and that's what they kept showing.
05:54Nobody went to this until they showed the blast that he took early on in the game, which was,
05:59I mean, it was very early in the game when he got hit by that.
06:02So, um, Chris Nowinski, who of course is our, our favorite.
06:06He's, uh, he's called out the dolphins for murder charges on Tua.
06:09He is King.
06:10He's King of the concussions is basically what he is.
06:13Former wrestler turned, uh, neurologist, neurologist, PhD.
06:18I don't know what his official doctorate is in.
06:20I think it's just yelling at people on Twitter.
06:22No, he is a neurologist.
06:23He went to Harvard and he said, Anthony Stolarz likely suffered a first concussion five minutes
06:31into the game when he took a puck to the face that knocked his mask off 25 seconds.
06:35After this, he did a shake, which is a spontaneous head shake after a kinematic event, which predicts
06:43concussion 72% of the time.
06:46Um, so maybe the Bennett thing had something to do with it, but I would say the more violent
06:54hit was probably the puck because it didn't look like Bennett hit him that hard.
06:58No, it didn't look like Bennett hit him that hard.
07:00And I get it.
07:01He's not the easiest guy to defend because he is a peaky blinder and he's just always around
07:08chaos.
07:09He did this to the Leafs.
07:10The last time he played, he did this to Brad Marchand.
07:13He's always around conflict.
07:17He's a menace on skates.
07:19Like, so I get it.
07:22Like, this isn't like Aaron Eckblad where I could say he's a good boy.
07:25Now, I just want to be clear here.
07:27He does save dogs because Benny's buddies is a great foundation and all of the, and all
07:34of the blue, all of the blue Leafs fans are harassing Benny's buddies on Instagram.
07:40And you guys, I'm going to tell you all something.
07:42Why are they going for the puppies?
07:43Exactly.
07:44Jay fig.
07:44You, you people need to get a grip.
07:47Okay.
07:47The puppies did nothing.
07:50And you want to know something?
07:51He's not running that account.
07:52Okay.
07:53Debra at, at Benny's buddies is running that account of their social media manager.
07:58And you guys are annoying Debra.
07:59She did nothing.
08:00Okay.
08:01So please stop commenting on Beagle pictures and worry about the closet crying.
08:07Please leave her alone.
08:09Leave her alone.
08:12Now, I don't know what's going to happen with this, but it does sound like the early reports
08:16are that the league is not going to discipline him for this, which obviously infuriates a
08:20lot of people because it feels like he's always getting away with this, but I got to tell
08:25you, you got to acknowledge the fact he took one to the noggin.
08:29You got to, you have to stole ours is reportedly out of the hospital, which is great news.
08:35Oh, he'll be out for a while.
08:38He took a rocket.
08:39I mean, that was something Paul Maurice asked about this afterwards, after the game.
08:43This is what he had to say on the matter.
08:45Your vantage point of a play involving Sam Bennett and Anthony Stolar is obviously leaving
08:50the game.
08:51Not nearly as good as the referee's vantage point standing right there.
08:55He saw it.
08:56So, you know what, hopeful for Anthony and his health, like we love that guy and we hope
09:07he gets better real fast.
09:08I've answered one on it.
09:13I understand that you're late.
09:15The referee is standing right there when it happened.
09:20And then you will do your thing and the league will do its thing and I'll coach the next game.
09:25Hopefully.
09:26There you go.
09:29Paul Maurice yesterday on the...
09:31See, and I tell you this all the time.
09:37One of the things I hate about interviews right after the game is because you don't have all the facts.
09:45Neither coach or the players knew about the hit to the head.
09:53They didn't think it was that big of a deal because he kept playing.
09:58And so it would be hard to come to the conclusion...
10:00He started right here on his shoulder and then went to his...
10:03It would be hard to come to the conclusion at that time that that's what caused it.
10:09So by asking people questions about the hit, everybody's insinuating or assuming that that caused the injury.
10:20But, like, is there any shot, like, people are going to look at this and say...
10:23Because I'm not...
10:24Obviously, we all have eyes.
10:25He was hit in the back of the head by Sam Bennett.
10:28Well, not even on the back.
10:29It was kind of on the side.
10:30Whatever.
10:30I mean, like, you get hit...
10:31They set it up, like, right here off the shoulder.
10:32Okay, but we're not neurologists.
10:34Like, he could still get hurt by getting hit on the back of the neck or the side of his head.
10:38Sure.
10:38So, like, I'm not...
10:39Like, he very clearly got hit in the dome early.
10:43But what can happen is you can take a hit in a game.
10:46This can happen in football, too.
10:47When people have said this with Tua, where, like, Tua's taken a hit and then he's hit the back of the turf and then it was out.
10:53Like, that's happened to him as well.
10:55Like, you could take multiple hits and that's going to make it worse because your brain's in a more vulnerable spot.
10:59The thing is, is, like, do I really think that Sam Bennett meant to hurt his former teammate with a dirty hit?
11:08Like, it looked pretty incidental.
11:10He was going for the puck.
11:11It was definitely incidental because you can see how he's trying to avoid his head at one point.
11:15Obviously, you can't because of the speed, but it didn't look malicious at all.
11:18I don't know.
11:19He's...
11:19It's the guy.
11:20And that's the thing that makes it tough.
11:21We'll talk to David Dwork about it.
11:23Obviously, this is going to be the big thing we're monitoring.
11:26Do you think anybody's going to come out and make that point that, hey, he might have got hurt earlier in the game?
11:35I'm sure now.
11:36Or are they going to just keep making it a Sam Bennett thing?
11:40Well, look, it's a bad guy to defend.
11:42I know!
11:43Like, believe me, we do it with Draymond.
11:45He's...
11:46Yes, he is.
11:47He's a menace on skates.
11:48Like, this is that...
11:49Like, part of this is who it is.
11:51Well, no, we all got on Draymond when he tried to put old boy in a figure four on the ground.
11:57Right?
11:58So, yeah.
11:59Was it Dylan Brooks that he tried to...
12:02That he got into it with?
12:04No, it wasn't Dylan Brooks.
12:04He gets into it with everybody.
12:06Huh?
12:06He gets into it with everybody.
12:07Right.
12:07Can't keep trying.
12:08I'm just saying.
12:09Paul Maurice will speak to the media today at 11 a.m.
12:12I'm sorry.
12:12I'm sorry.
12:13I'm sorry.
12:27I'm sorry.
