02:40i didn't have the memo it's too late man it's showtime we gotta go showtime now all right it's
02:47showtime so let's hit it let's do it um look i don't know there's a cup there's a number of
02:53things
02:53that we're sore about when it comes to the end of the hockey season we're sore about the fact that
02:58the wings aren't there we're sore about the fact that mcclellan who we believe represents us
03:04right was is always emotionless always has the poker face but he didn't after the last game
03:14he didn't after the last game he actually was about to blow right at the end of that last game
03:20we're also sore at the fact that i thought maybe we hear something from stevie today
03:24we didn't hear anything no nothing nothing from stevie nothing from stevie here was uh todd
03:30mcclellan after the eight to one de pantsing at florida the other night
03:40grateful
03:45so
03:53so
04:19yeah i think we all should be embarrassed the words of todd mcclellan but would you
04:23believe that's not the only thing we should be upset about i just got a question yeah because
04:29you know i'm sitting around here and
04:33it's a little bit off topic like the nba playoff
04:38it's a little weird at first because of the play in and then how it works if this seed wins
04:43they automatically go but if this seed wins they got to play a second game in order to make it
04:48in
04:49there so you technically you're in but you're not in but i do have a question for our hockey nista
04:55here
04:55for for mr kenneth i know puck cot no i don't know puck it's been established that i don't know
05:01puck at this point kenny i'm can you explain the the playoff seating in the nhl because i'm like wait
05:10wait wait wait wait one versus six two versus five three four so the and seven versus eight
05:17the seating in hockey is basically if you want the answer
05:23the seating is it's the first place team in each division put the best team in in the conference
05:31plays the worst wild card team the second of the other one seed plays the second and then it's two
05:40three versus two three versus two three two three in the same division yes right so division plays one
05:45another which has resulted in this number one seed carolina plays six seeded ottawa number seven
05:54seed pittsburgh plays number eight seed philadelphia right what i don't in the name of gary
06:01betting is going on over here i don't like it either i think it's very silly how is it that
06:06they could just take something so simple i thought the nba was bad like wait you know what this feels
06:12like when the dog hits the basket and determines who wins right yes the dog knocks the back hey man
06:18this is how we make our playoff matches the dog decided that it's going to be pittsburgh versus
06:24philadelphia the seven seed versus the eight seed so the seven seed gets to play a worse team
06:29than the number one seed oh it doesn't stop there no no no in the western conference the two seed
06:36plays the three seed in the whole conference in the first round so two of the five best teams in
06:42the entire nhl one of them's minnesota could have been detroit had they traded for quinn hughes but
06:47that's for another day two versus three that would be like rico okc in san antonio meeting in round one
06:55yeah i mean is this not the most senseless thing you have ever heard in the history of sports
07:01i laughed because i said you know what i have to ask kenny this question because it's it's crazy
07:07because i want to hear you say this again kenny because i thought i heard you say the number one
07:13twice there's two divisions david yes the top team in each division plays the two wild cards
07:20and then there's the two whatever happened to one c two c three c four c five three david i'm
07:26not
07:26saying you're wrong you asked me a question i i think it should be one eight two seven six
07:32don't over complicate it make it very simple i agree and not only that david if you have a crappy
07:37division the the top three teams in that division make it so you could have a team in that division
07:43that sucks that gets into the playoffs and the wild cards are almost always going to be better than
07:49that team so we thought we would open today by simply asking you guys this the uh look don't
07:56do drugs kids the nhl playoff system is on drugs this is what happens when you use drugs at young
08:02ages you get a playoff format like this the tonsil hockey league would have a better playoff format
08:08than the national hockey league what are the best playoff what's the best playoff format in sports
08:15and who has the worst overall best and worst as far as i see we got six categories we've got
08:24uh
08:25basketball college and pro football college and pro mlb nhl yeah what's the best what's the worst
08:34this is drunk well i thought nba was drunk because the nba you you really have to focus
08:41because i've been asked so many times wait but that team just won why do they have to play no
08:46no no
08:47it's set up for seeding so the seventh and eighth seeds if if you know the seventh seed wins their
08:55game
08:56they're in if the eighth seed beats the seventh seed they're in but whoever wins the 9-10 game
09:02they're not in you got to play again in order to get that last loser of the 7-8 game
09:09right yes if
09:09you lose the 7-8 game so kenny it's not that far away from where you are so what's going
09:16to surprise
09:16you even more is i can answer your question right now i think the best format is still hockey the
09:22reason the reason is and i'll defend it i can defend it they haven't expanded the golden goose is not
09:31dead hockey has the best playoff for a product wise is the best one that there is yeah but we
09:37we as a yeah it is wrong we as a people like what is right and what is just sure
09:43it is not right for
09:44the one seed to be playing a better team than the seventh seed it is not right for the nhl's
09:49version
09:49of okc and san antonio to be playing in the first freaking round of the playoffs and i don't disagree
09:55with that i just hate all of the other formats of all the other sports much more than i i
10:00don't like
10:01the way the nhl does it don't get me wrong but the other ones i think are much worse oh
10:05come on
10:05come on so we open with that question for you best playoff format worst playoff format the numbers for
10:13you guys 248-539-9797 is where you guys can get to us on the show the nhl playoff format
10:20is absolutely
10:21drunk the pistons look to get into their own playoff format on sunday we'll go around the
10:27room rank ours best and worst coming your way next valentian rico 97-1
