1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,599
Speaker 1: So all the people I talked about that I brought

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: to Colorado. I had this big fifteen passenger van with

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: the cooler inside that was picking them up bringing to

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,280

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: full of kol aides. Oh yeah, so we win the game.

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,599

57
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: The captain, Well, we are looking at game seven of

58
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: the two thousand and one Stanley Cup Final, Devils versus

59
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: the Avalanche with a Boston legend, Ray Borg. Welcome to

60
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: the nuthouse, Ray, I got one question. We'll dive into

61
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: the game plenty, but in one sentence, why this game?

62
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: Because I won the Cup one thing that was pretty

63
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: much left for me to accomplish in my career. You know,

64
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: I never thought I would leave Boston, but things were

65
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: where they were at that time, and I was eight

66
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: years old and never thought I'd leave to win a Cup,

67
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: but I had to leave to kind of see if

68
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: I had any more any more juice in the tank

69
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: for me and to compete again because it had been

70
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: a while, you know. I went to two finals with

71
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: the Bruins and eighty eight and ninety and after that

72
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: we had a couple of good runs in the early nineties,

73
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: but after that we were kind of not that good.

74
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: So it had been a while and I was always

75
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: one to bring energy, passion and you could disname it

76
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: whatever to the rink, and I was really having a

77
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: hard time at that point. So I came to the

78
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: conclusion that I had to go somewhere else and ended

79
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: up going to an amazing place where I was part

80
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: of a team that was the best team that I've

81
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: ever played with. I got there in March of two thousand.

82
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: That first year, we got to the semifinals against Dallas,

83
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: lost in a seventh game, and I knew that I

84
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: was going back for another year. And that's why to compete,

85
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: To go on a team where I knew I was

86
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: going to be able to compete, and to get to

87
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: that seventh game. Playing for this thing was just an

88
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: amazing feeling. Now, is this the greatest game? Of all time.

89
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: Uh for me, yes, Uh, it's the ultimate. I mean,

90
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: you know, you know you've won three five three five.

91
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: You weren't around that long, okay, well three. And it

92
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: is so hard to win. I don't care what sport

93
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: you're playing. Uh, so many things have to go right,

94
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: and you've got to go through so many ups and

95
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: downs and uh, so many different emotions and regardless off

96
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: your favorites or not, it's uh, there's no guarantees and

97
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: it's so hard. So and I had played, you know,

98
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: in eighty eight, in ninety with the Bruins. We lost

99
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: to Edmonton in four games in eighty eight and then

100
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: five games, and so I know you're playing for the

101
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: Cups in the finals, but you're not really playing for

102
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: the cup. So playing that's seventh game, you know that

103
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: you're now playing for the cup because you've got three

104
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: wins and now the next one, whoever wins this gets

105
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: to pick this thing up. And so it's just an

106
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: amazing run. And for me going back to you know, Colorado,

107
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: I got there March sixth, We got to the SEMIS.

108
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: I knew I was going back for one more year,

109
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: so I asked the general manager. I said just give

110
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: me the same amount of money I was making last year.

111
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: I'm coming, I'm playing one more year. He says, no,

112
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm giving you a two year deal. I'm like, I'm

113
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: only playing one more years? Is I'm giving you two years?

114
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right. So I knew that. I

115
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: told my wife. The only people I kind of knew

116
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: was my wife and I that I'm only playing one

117
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: more year regardless of what happens. So Game six and

118
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: seven for me was an amazing experience because we go

119
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: to New Jersey down three to two. Nobody's given us

120
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: a chance to win that game against the defending champs,

121
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: And for me, I got to live it like to

122
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: the fullest because I had my siblings, my dad, my

123
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: wife's siblings, her dad, my best friends at Game six

124
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: in case this was going to be my last game,

125
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: I wanted those people there. So the last pregame skate

126
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: at in Colorado, you know the practice rank you kind

127
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: of you're you're looking around, You're taking everything in. Then

128
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: you fly to New Jersey. You know, the next morning, pregame, skate,

129
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: pregame meal, pregame nap. You're really sucking it all in

130
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: because you know this you know this might be it.

131
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: Then we go out first ten minutes, New Jerseys is

132
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: storming us and Patrick wats standing on his head making

133
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: saves after save, and then ten minutes in Adam Foot

134
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: scores a goal right inside the blue line and from

135
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: that point on we take over. The game go on

136
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: and it went for nothing. So now everybody that had

137
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: at Game six all I brought to Colorado for game

138
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: seven knowing that's my last game. So just that thought

139
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: that you know that this is regardless of what happens

140
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: in game seven, this is it. I have the people

141
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: that are important to me that are going to be

142
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: watching me, and then closing a deal and winning it.

143
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know when you want to hear

144
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: the story after we partied. Yeah, so it's it. It was

145
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: just an amazing and that's why that game. I mean,

146
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: there's so much that went into that game, you know,

147
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: twenty one years of chasing it and finally after twenty

148
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: two years, being able to hoist it. So it's the game.

149
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: You know, they asked what are your There's so many

150
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: big moments that it's really unfair to kind of when

151
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: you're asked, you know, what are the special moments. Well,

152
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: I look at bookends, you know, I look at my

153
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: last game where I was able to hoist the cup

154
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: and my first game where you finally make it. You

155
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: play your first NHL game where you dream as a

156
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: kid to play in the NHL, and then it happens,

157
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: and you know, then you end up playing twenty two

158
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: years and you go, holy crap.

159
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: And it goes like that. Probably, now, who's your first

160
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 2: game against Winnipeg Jets. Last game was against New Jersey Devils.

161
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: You knew for sure this was going to be your

162
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: last game no matter what. Yes, yeah, for sure, one

163
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: hundred percent. I had six million reasons to go back

164
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: for the second year. But I was like, regardless, it

165
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: wasn't going to happen. I thought, just I was forty

166
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: years old, and you know that last year I averaged

167
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: the most minutes played out of anybody in the NHL.

168
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: I average over twenty seven minutes a game. I was

169
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: up for Norris Best Defenseman that year. But just mentally,

170
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: and you know, to get me to where I had

171
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: needed to get to to play another year, I just

172
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: didn't think I had it in me.

173
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: So it's one of those things they say as a

174
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: professional athlete. When you start thinking about it, you're out. Yeah,

175
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: because that means you're not all the way in.

176
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: You've got to be all in, you know.

177
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: And I told my dad I was going to retire.

178
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: I needed his validation. He goes, Son, you finally smartened up. Yeah,

179
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: because you got to be crazy to go out and

180
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: with your sport as well.

181
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean you got to have those two sports. I

182
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: mean you.

183
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: Got to flirt with crazy. It's like a fighter pilot,

184
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: you know, you got to be willing to die in

185
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: your combat to go out and flirt with that line

186
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: to have your best production. And the times you start

187
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: thinking about like you know, I don't know if I

188
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: that's when you got to get the fuck out, because

189
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: that's how you get out.

190
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: And I knew, I knew, you know that. I mean,

191
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: you know how you got to prepare the off season

192
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: for the next season, and I mean I I and

193
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: I was, you know, committed. I you know, my training

194
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: in the off season was so important to me. And

195
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: I met somebody very special in my life that really

196
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: helped me with that took me under his wing at

197
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: the age of sixteen until I retired. Was my high

198
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: school gym teacher, that I met at fourteen, that was

199
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: a track and field team for the Canadian Olympic team.

200
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: He had his own track and field team in Montreal

201
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: that four of his runners went to your Olympics. But he

202
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: was like this genius training guy that you know. I

203
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: was always a really good hockey player, but he made

204
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: me an athlete that allowed me to be even better

205
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: hockey player. So to this day, he's one of my

206
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: very best friends that I talk to every week and

207
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: very lucky. And I knew that, you know, if I

208
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: was going to play again, it's another three months of

209
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's getting your teeth ticked. It's tough.

210
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: People don't realize that when you're a pro athlete, it's

211
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: not just seasonal like you have to, especially for a

212
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: man who played as long as you did, you have

213
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 2: to constantly re evolve yourself every off season, bring something new,

214
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: work on your deficiencies, but also bring something new. You know,

215
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 2: you have to build something into your game that you

216
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: may not be comfortable with. That reinvention is like people

217
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 2: don't I used to get a lot of anxiety after

218
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: the years that we would win the Super Bowl because

219
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: you knew how much harder it was going to be

220
00:11:59,120 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: the next year.

221
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you guys always had a target on your

222
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: back because you were that good, right, and everybody's trying

223
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: to bring it down, not only the teams you're playing against,

224
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: but the media around the country.

225
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: And the same could be said about the Boston Celtics

226
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: because you guys are a cornerstone organization for you know,

227
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: the NHL. Like, what did I say?

228
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: You said Celtics. But yes, sorry, iconic Yeah, yeah, no,

229
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: let's let's.

230
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: Jump into a lot of them on that one.

231
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 4: Right, there's just so many iconic franchises in Boston, there

232
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 4: really is, but it really starts with the Big three,

233
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 4: like ours were like the Slappies.

234
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: On the Patriots.

235
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: Now in the last twenty years, we've but like, when

236
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 2: it comes down to it, the origin of the pro sports,

237
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: he goes, you know, Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics.

238
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: Okay, Joe's you want do you want to know the

239
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: real story? How how that that two decades started?

240
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's hear it.

241
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: So I win the Cup in Colorado, right, my agent

242
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: calls me, says, the Maryor's office just called me asking

243
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: if you'd be willing to bring the Cup back to Boston.

244
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: They want to celebrate you at city Hall. I'm like,

245
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: Steve Fryer was my agent. I said, Steve, I said,

246
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: I can't do that. I don't want to embarrass the Bruins.

247
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: He says, what about if the Bruins sign off on it.

248
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: So Michael O'Connell's the general manager, Harry's sidons the president.

249
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: So he calls Mike and says, you know, Ray's Ben

250
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: asked if he could come back, and you know, they

251
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: want to do something for him at city Hall. He says, yeah,

252
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: we have no problems with that and all that. So

253
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: then I come back with the cop city Hall. Ten

254
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: thousand people are are there. It was like it was crazy.

255
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: It was amazing, amazing day. But what happened after that?

256
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: The Patriots win in New Orleans against the St. Louis

257
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: the fastest Brady Shorn turf right, and I'm there, I'm

258
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: right there in the zone where Vinitarry kicks her in

259
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: the field goal. I'm there with my son veritec Yeah,

260
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: VerTech exactly.

261
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

262
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: And then from that point on, I mean, Pats win

263
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: two out of three. The curse is broken with the

264
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: Red Sox. The Celtics win the Bruins win, the Patriots

265
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: keep winning, the Red Sox win again. It all started

266
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: after the Cup came back to Boston. It's funny, let's go,

267

Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. Have you ever been to Quebec City?

284
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: I haven't. I mean, Quebec City is one of my

285
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: favorite cities in the world.

286
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta check it out.

287
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: Now.

288
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: What what was a young Ray Bork like in Canada?

289
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: Growing up?

290
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 2: Were you just playing hockey? All fucking day.

291
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: Hockey and baseball. I loved baseball as much as I

292
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: liked hockey. I was very good at baseball growing up,

293
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: growing up somewhere. Yeah, my dad always says I could

294
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: have played for the Expos someday. Very proud dad. But

295
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: I was a very good baseball player, played up until

296
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: I came to Boston. I played junior ball in Montreal,

297
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: growing up somewhere else, maybe baseball could have been an option,

298
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: but I just, you know, a kid growing up in Montreal.

299
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we were so spoiled. When I got into

300
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, I thanked the Montreal Canadians for

301
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: making a young kid dream about playing the NHL someday,

302
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: because I mean, every kid's dreaming about playing the NHL

303
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: and growing up in Quebec, just because we're spoiled. And

304
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: back then they were winning Cups after Cups, and.

305
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: You were a big Canadians and I was.

306
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: A big Montreal Canadians fan. I'd missed school. I go

307
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: to the parades with my buddies, and you know, and

308
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: then it was just, you know, a path that just

309
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: took me as a young kid, you know, just going

310
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: through the ranks. And but as a very shy, quiet kid,

311
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, always always a leader on the ice and

312
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: how I played and how I approached the game. I

313
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: don't know how you felt about being on that field,

314
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: but for me, being on the ice is where I

315
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: felt the most comfort in my life. Just that's where

316
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: I was meant to be, and I just kind of

317
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: I was. I was always a really good, good player.

318
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: I was never like this elite I can't miss kid

319
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: as a As a youngster, I started separating myself at

320
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: the age of thirteen from my peers. So I would

321
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: play forward, I played defense. I play forward. I played

322
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: defense every year. It seems like I played, you know,

323
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: the different positions, and that I think allowed me to

324
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: be creative as a player and allowed me to be

325
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: offensive instincts as a defenseman as well as a good defender.

326
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: But at the age of thirteen, I strictly played defense.

327
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: And that's when I start separating myself from my buddies.

328
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: And I was fifteen years old playing with guys that

329
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: were sixteen to twenty years old driving their cars and

330
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: the strip joints aren't bad, and uh, but I'm trigging

331
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: fifteen years old, Like what am I doing now? Yeah?

332
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: So I grew up pretty quick, you know, in a.

333
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 2: Hockey life though, right, a lot of these young kids,

334
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: like you're, they got to become pros because they would.

335
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: You guys go ship each other to like other houses

336
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 2: and live with different families.

337
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: So I get drafted into the Quebec Major Junior League

338
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: it's called the Queue when I'm fifteen, So now I'm

339
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: a couple hours away from where I grew up. So

340
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: you're living with a billet and now you're playing with

341
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: guys that are sixteen to twenty years old, and then

342
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: you play there for the next four years, and that's

343
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: where the NHL are looking to draft all their players. Yeah,

344
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: you know, back then it was mostly those leagues. You know,

345
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: some US kids out of the universities, but mostly it

346
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: was Canadian kids playing in those junior leagues that were drafted.

347
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: And so then nineteen seventy nine there was another professional

348
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: league called the WHA World Hockey League that merged with

349
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: the NHL. So there's four teams from that league that

350
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: ended up merging with the NHL in nineteen seventy nine.

351
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: I was Winnipeg, Edmonton, Hartford, and Quebec. So that year

352
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: they allowed the underage draft to come back, so I

353
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: didn't have to play four years. At eighteen years old,

354
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: I was drafted and I came to Boston when I

355
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: was eighteen, so in the draft was not in June,

356
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: it was in August because of all the stuff that

357
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: they had to sort out because of the murleagues coming together,

358
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: and I was eighth overall coming to Boston and there's

359
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: no two biggest rivals, then take it, Oh my god. No.

360
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: But I was so happy to go to a team

361
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: that was established. I could have gone to Minnesota, Colorado,

362
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: I could have gone to these teams where they sucked

363
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: for like ten fifteen years. And I go to the

364
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: Bruins where they just lost to Montreal in the semifinals

365
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: in the seventh game and overtime. That was established and

366
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: tradition and one of the original six teams. I couldn't

367
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: have gone anywhere better. Five hour drive from Montreal. It

368
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: was great. So a lot of my friends and family

369
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: followed me to Boston. But it took us forever to

370
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: be able to beat Montreal in the playoffs, Like it

371
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: was forty five years before Boston was able to beat

372
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: not that they played forty five years in a row,

373
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: but it was that amount of time since they had one.

374
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: Then we ended up beating Montreal in nineteen eighty seven,

375
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: eighty eight and the uh in the playoffs that But

376
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: I'd go back to Montreal every summer. You know, my

377
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: wife and I are both from there. I've known my

378
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: wife since I'm eleven years old and we hang around

379
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: with the same group of friends. But every time i'd

380
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: go back in the summer, I'd get all kinds of

381
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: shit like, oh, you guys frea against Sock, you lost again,

382
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: and this and that, and I'm like, so eighty seven

383
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: was the quietest summer. Eighty eight was the quietest summer

384
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: I've ever had going back to Montreal. It was awesome.

385
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: Now when you were a kid, when you look at

386
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: the American players, like, ah, these guys are secondhand, They're

387
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 2: secondhand citizens in our sport. We got because it's kind

388
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: of like me, if I saw white dB, I saw

389
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 2: someone white trying to guard me, I was like, this

390
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: fucking joke.

391
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: Well, I think it could be any color hard.

392
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 2: But I but it was even more.

393
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: It was even more, you know, like you can't have.

394
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: This guy, I mean what we do?

395
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you know, And then then I come to Boston.

396
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: So I we used to have an exchange in Montreal,

397
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: like every year we'd come to Ludlow or Chickapea that

398
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, is around the Springfield area, and we're like, oh,

399
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: we're going to play in Boston. You know. It was

400
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: the furthest thing from.

401
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: Boston after our Springfield So.

402
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: We'd play against them and we'd killed them. You know,

403
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: we were like it was like twelve one or you know,

404
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: but I don't think we're playing against the best teams.

405
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: But when I got to Boston to play with the Bruins,

406
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: then I got to know and find out about you know,

407
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: Boston University, b C, Harvard, Northeastern, all these great college

408
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: programs that were developing great hockey players. And you know,

409
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: my first year is the year that the miracle on

410
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: ice US beats you know, the Russians and go on

411
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: and win beat the fence for the gold medal, and

412
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: that that was like now it takes off, right, But

413
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: all those great players I played for the US and

414
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: then nineteen eighty and so I I know, I I

415
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: knew that never disrespected the US player and and then

416
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: it's just growing from that part. You know, what they

417
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: what they did for hockey in nineteen eighty in the

418
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: States was phenomenal. And then after that and and just

419
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: years after that and more, and now you look at

420
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: the US program and you know, they just won the

421
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: world the World's Championship, they won the uh they won

422
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: the gold medal in the World Juniors. The last two

423
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: or three years, both my sons played for the US team, uh,

424
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, in the World Junior.

425
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: So we do so we just we just take the Canadians.

426
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: We my kids here.

427
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: My boys are not Canadian. And they'll tell you I

428
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: might be Canadian, but they are not. So when it

429
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: comes to my kids, I mean, I'm walking around the Olympics.

430
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: My my son Chris played for the Olympics and uh

431
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: South Korea last time around, and I'm walking around with

432
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: the US you know, and uh, hoodie, yeah, And it's like, guys,

433
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: people are looking at them and they're like, what's going

434
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: on with that. I'm like, Hey, it comes to my kids, man,

435
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm us. I'm dual, I'm dual. And when it comes

436
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: to the kids and they're skating man for the US team,

437
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm turning to the US and uh, no one for

438
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: your kids. And when they're not involved. I'm you know,

439
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: strictly Canadian, but so it's it's kind of fun to

440
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: play the fence like that. Sometimes.

441
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 2: I got a question, who who's the Mount Rushmore of

442
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 2: French Canadian hockey players.

443
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: Well four for me, Mario Lemieux, Gui Le Fleur, Jean, Billival,

444
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: and uh Rocket Rashard probably so we're going back, you know,

445
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: and you probably don't know Billival or Rocket Rashar. If

446
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: you're talking French Canadians, that would be Mount rush for

447
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: and and if there's a fifth one, hell you can

448
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: put fifteen up in the LB.

449
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: You guys have such cool names.

450
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: Patrick wa protrick wah.

451
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't it Roy?

452
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Roy? Patrick Roy? You call him the king? You

453
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: know what? You know what what is in French? No king,

454
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: is it? Yeah?

455
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 2: I gotta work on that French. I've been yelled at

456
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: it together. On what was Boston like as a sports

457
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 2: town in seventy nine when you got here?

458
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: Amazing? The Old Garden, Uh was just a phenomenal building.

459
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: Uh.

460
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: The the upper deck was like almost right on top

461
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: of the ice. So the I mean that national anthem

462
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: sometimes you just you'd feel the vibration in the building. Yeah,

463
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: that's how loud that building would be. And it was

464
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: a small ice surface, so teams hated coming in there.

465
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: What's that mean? What's ice surface smaller? Because uh, most

466
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: ranks are two eighty five. That was like maybe the

467
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: one ninety by eighty. There's different size ranks back then

468
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: ranked now every rink now is the same size. But

469
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: back then you had Chicago Stadium, Boston Garden, Buffalo Buffalo

470
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: Auditorium was maybe a touch smaller as well. And you

471
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: felt it, oh you felt it. You felt playing against

472
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: the Bruins because it was quicker.

473
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: Was it faster?

474
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: Things happened so quick, but get you get killed, Like

475
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: you had a lot less time to react to stuff.

476
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: And we were a big, heavy, tough team. And yeah,

477
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: teams weren't that excited about coming to the Garden and

478
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: play us. But when you're talking about sports town, it's like,

479
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the passion of the fans supporting all their

480
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: teams here is just second to none. You're so lucky.

481
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: It's when I hear that, you know, oh, he's not

482
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: meant to play in Boston? Are you frigging kidding me?

483
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: Why would you not want to play somewhere where expectations

484
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: are high and uh, and if the fans are passionate,

485
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: and you know that if you just go out there,

486
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: work hard, give an honest effort, and play hard, they

487
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with you. That's when you don't

488
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: do that, you have a problem. And you know what,

489
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: if they have a problem with you, I probably do too.

490
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 2: That's the honest truth. Now, Like, how was it playing

491
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 2: in the wake of like Bobby Orr Did you feel

492
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: that legend? Because it was you know, being a guy

493
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: that played on a second part of a dynasty. I

494
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: mean we felt the Teddy Bruskis, the Kevin Falks, the

495
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: fucking Vinitaries, the very like we and we heard about

496
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,719
Speaker 2: it all the time, the verite which for me as

497
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: a young player, that motivated me to like, I wanted

498
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: to make my own fuck like I'm sick of Bill

499
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: Belichick talking about these fucking other other guys. Let's make

500
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 2: our own ship. Like did you how is it playing

501
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 2: in that way? I mean one of the greatest player.

502
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: Of all time? Some people argue, but that it motivated

503
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: me exactly. But that makes you because you know what's

504
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: come before you, and it's important for you to move

505
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: that ahead and and pass that on to the young guy,

506
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: the young Julian that's coming up, that is watching you

507
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: and how you do things, how you prepare, how you play,

508
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: how you speak, how you act, and you you feel

509
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: that you come into a team that has history and expectations.

510
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: And and for me, when I came in, of course

511
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: I knew Bobby Orr and you know, and I think

512
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: Bobby your's number one all time in the history of hockey.

513
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: He changed the game and nobody played it like he did.

514
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 2: And uh no, what made him special?

515
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: Everything? I mean he just you watch highlights above you Yeah,

516
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: a little bit here and there. Well it seems like

517
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: he was just he was playing like with with ten

518
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: year olds, that's how good he was. But so for me,

519
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: I was. I came in my first year, I scored

520
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: seventeen goals, sixty five points. I won Rookie of the Year,

521
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: First Team All Star. I had an amazing year. So

522
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: when people would come up and I was, you know, offensive,

523
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,719
Speaker 1: I was gifted offensively, nothing like Bobby. But you know,

524
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: the press were constantly coming up and comparing me to

525
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: Bobby Orr. And I'm like, I always said, believe me,

526
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: if I could be half the player that Bobby orr

527
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: was I'm going to have an amazing career. And that's

528
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: how I looked at it, how I diffused it because

529
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: I knew, I'm not Bobby or I play my game.

530
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm not as explosive and dynamic as Bobby was. I mean,

531
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: he was just so spectacular and so much fun to watch.

532
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: I was more. My subtleties in my game were a

533
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: lot different. Wasn't like you would I wouldn't raise you

534
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: at a of your seat by watching me play. But

535
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: if you watch the subtleties and how I played my game,

536
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: how consistent I was, you'd really appreciate how I played

537
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: the game. And I knew that, you know, I knew,

538
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,479
Speaker 1: I knew my game. I knew how I was. I

539
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: had to play.

540
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: I think, yeah it was okay, yeah, twenty two, but.

541
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: It was Yeah, it's just I mean, for me playing

542
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: in Boston, that's that's I'm so happy I ended up

543
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 1: here because like we talked about the passion uh in

544
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: the city and the suburbs and everything that comes living here,

545
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I I knew it didn't take

546
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: me very long that I'm like, well, once I had kids,

547
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: I knew regardless this was going to be my home. Yeah,

548
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: and fans were amazing. Now did you ever cross paths

549
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: with Larry Bird? You guys are in great, great, great

550
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: question because I've you know, I've got to know McHale,

551
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: a few Reggie Lewis I've met, I've kind of run into,

552
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: and a few other Celtics. Larry Bird we came in

553
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: the same year in nineteen seventy nine. We both won

554
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. I did not meet Larry Bird

555
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: till after he retired. Dale Arnold had us on we

556
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: I for one hour together. Was the first time I

557
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: met Larry Bird, and it was great, But it was

558
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: so weird that we didn't cross paths before that. And

559
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: now I winter in South Florida. I play Hideout once

560
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: in a while. Every time i'm there, I see him.

561
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: He's one of the founders of that place. So yeah,

562
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: I was. And I got this great picture that day

563
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: at Larry and I. They gave me a seventy seven

564
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: Celtics jersey and they gave him a thirty three Bruins

565
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: jersey with our names on it and all that. I

566
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: looked like I'm twelve years old and I'm like thirty three.

567
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: At them. I think thirty four years old, and he's

568
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: got probably nine inches on me. Those boys are tall.

569
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: They are trees, aren't they.

570
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 2: Those basketball guys are And you don't understand it because

571
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 2: when you watch them on TV, they're all the same

572
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: height and shit, and then you see them in regular life,

573
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: you're like, that's a fucking dinosaur. Holy schnikes.

574
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: Now.

575
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: But that's it's understandable because you guys are in the

576
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 2: grind of your careers.

577
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: Like I would always see Bruins.

578
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: I became close with a couple of Bruins through charity

579
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: events or you know, I would see Celtics out here

580
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 2: and there. But you know, you didn't always see certain

581
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: guys because everyone's caught up in their career, especially you guys.

582
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 2: You guys are playing at the same time.

583
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: So michale I got to know, like he would invite

584
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: me to his Christmas party. Don Warden was our fiscal therapist.

585
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: I was really good friends with Kevin and from that relationship,

586
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: like Kevin would come to our game and he'd stand

587
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: right by our bench where the Celtics would enter and

588
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: come out to the floor and off and on. So

589
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: he'd watch a game right there, right by our bench

590
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: and then he'd come into room after the game. So

591
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: he grew up in Minnesota. He knew what hockey was

592
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: all about, not like you from California that.

593
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 4: I grew to like he went to the second half

594
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 4: of I went, yeah, cal palace was palace.

595
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 2: I was telling you the elephants or you know, we

596
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 2: thought we were going to catch the second half. Being

597
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: football people, we missed the first two periods and you know,

598
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: me and my dad after the third are like, yeah,

599
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 2: at least we got the fourth.

600
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: There's no fucking fourth. Learned that short no overtime back then.

601
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: We'll be right back after this quick break. Now, can

602
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: you explain to us how'd you go from seven to

603
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: seventy seven.

604
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: So, out of anything I've ever done in Boston, uh,

605
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: people will come up to me and talk to me

606
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: about that, Like, out of anything I've ever done in hockey,

607
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: that's number one thing that comes up most. And so

608
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: I wore number twenty nine in training camp, had a

609
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: great camp coming up from my first game. Number seven

610
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: is in my stall and I'm like, I mean, I

611
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: knew that Phil wore that number. So before I go out.

612
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: Bobby Schmatz, a veteran comes over. He says, Ray, if

613
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: you hear any hecklers, don't worry about it. Just play

614
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: your game. I'm like, yeah, great, right, So I have

615
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: an amazing first year and never hear nothing about it

616
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: other than the press asking me every once in a while,

617
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: what do you think about Phyllis Posito's number being retired.

618
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's a legend, amazing brooin, He's done great

619
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: things here, won two Cups and everything I said. Of

620
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: course I said, I was given that number. I'm like,

621
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: it's it's not up to me. And so what happened

622
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: is the Bruins traded Phyllis Posito, and once that happened,

623
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: Phil and Harry really Phil was really pissed at the

624
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: Bruins never want to go. The story goes, when they

625
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: traded Phil Esposito that Don Cherry was the coach back then. Grapes,

626
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: So Harry tells. Grapes says, go tell Phil that we

627
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: just traded him to the Rangers. So Grapes, yeah, So

628
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: Grapes get gets Bobby Orr and Wayne Cashman, Phil's two

629
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: best friends to go tell him. Knocks on the door.

630
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: They're staying at the Bay Shore in Vancouver. It's right

631
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: on the water, beautiful place, Vancouver. So they walk in

632
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: and feels like, you better not fucking be telling me

633
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: I'm going to the Rangers because I'm gonna frig and

634
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: jump out that window, says Bobby. Get in front of

635
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: the window. So after that it was like so Harry

636
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: was like pissed that Phil for being pissed at him,

637
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: And I get the number and now I'm killing it

638
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: and doing great, and so then they kind of patch

639
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: things up up and they decide that they're going to

640
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: retire the number December third, nineteen eighty seven. So I've

641
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: worn it now since seventy nine, eight years. But nothing

642
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: is talked about anything up until one o'clock that afternoon.

643
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: Terry O'Reilly's our coach, calls me from Harry's office and

644
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: he says, Ray, what do you think we should do

645
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: with the jersey? That's how great the communication was back then, right,

646
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 1: So like, my, let's have like Belichick system. Yeah, well yeah,

647
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: dinosaurs are talking. I'm like, jeez, this is crazy, I said.

648
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: So we come up with I'm going to go off

649
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: for warm up with number seven. Come back in, go

650
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: in the back room in the train's room, put number

651
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: seventy seven under seven, go back out, call Phil up

652
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: and then I'll take the seven off Reveal seventy seven.

653
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: And it was. It was so messed up how it was,

654
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 1: but it ended up being the best. Yeah, because no press,

655
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: no fan. I drove in with Keith Crowder and Glenn

656
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: Wesley that day. They said, Ray, what the hell you

657
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 1: could have told us? Nobody knew other than my wife

658
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: coaches management and ended up growing well. I see Phil's

659
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: faces like, you know, I joke about this, but it's

660
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 1: really true that it was the first time Phyllis Bozido

661
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: was ever speechless in his life and his face dropped.

662
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, it was. It was the perfect thing.

663
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: Nobody should award that number after Phil when he left.

664
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that that number was going to be retired,

665
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: and it's up where it should be.

666
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 2: You know, a stand up guys. It really is noticeable

667
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: with the hockey guys. You guys, I feel like your

668
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 2: guys respect to your teammates and to tradition into the

669
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 2: guys before you. I mean, it's in your trophy, you

670
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Look, you see everyone who's put

671
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 2: the blood, sweat and tears into getting this trophy. It's

672
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 2: just really cool to see because you don't see that

673
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: in all sports. I'll tell you that right now.

674
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: How about this trophy though his trophy is pretty bad ass,

675
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: it's it's the best, and your name gets on it.

676
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: It's there for over sixty years, sixty years, over sixty

677
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: years before this gets so this when this is full,

678
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: this comes off and they and they straight that out.

679
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: They put it in the vault in the Hall of Fame.

680
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: So this before this gets up here, it's over sixty years.

681
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: So your name, so you're my my grandkids kids could

682
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: go to the Hall of Fame someday and look up.

683
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: You know, this was my grandfather. And uh so it's

684
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: it's an amazing trophy. It is.

685
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 2: It definitely has an aura, and I think, you know

686
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 2: it's going to be a hot take, but this probably

687
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 2: is the best trophy because the imperfections.

688
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: And oh my god, if that thing could talk exactly,

689
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. When you want me

690
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: to talk about a few of the stories that I have, Yes,

691
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: please have after yes, please? So we win Game six

692
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: and Joe Joe Sakik, our captain, was an amazing player,

693
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: but even a better person an amazing classy. So we

694
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: win game six. All Joe wants to talk about, says Ray,

695
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: how we're going to do the cup thing. I'm like, Joe,

696
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: let's win the frigging game first. Let's win the game

697
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: and we'll worry about the frigging cup after we win

698
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: the game. But all he was worried about is like

699
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: he wants right, he says, okay, right right next to me,

700
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: right next to me. So he gets the cup from

701
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: Betman and he doesn't even want to he just wants

702
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: to grab it. And then Betman said, no, we've got

703
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: to take a picture first. And then Bettman says, somebody

704
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: who's been waiting for this for a long time. And

705
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: then Joe grabs a cup and just pass it on

706
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: to me. And then then it's just like what a relief?

707
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, he says, here right now. So

708
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 1: the captain's a guy that lifts the cup every time.

709
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: Like Joe took me out for lunch before I came

710
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: back my second year, and he like, right, I don't

711
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: feel you know, I don't feel comfortable wear in to

712
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: see with you on my team. I'm like, Joe, forget it, buddy,

713
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: I said, you are the leader of this team. You

714
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: saw what I did last year. I don't need an

Speaker 1: I'm going to do what I need to do, and

718
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,840

00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: Keith Ku Chuck's not in there with Middleton's not in there.

772
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 2: Chuck's the Ku Chuck, the dad.

773
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah he was.

774
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: I heard he was a monster. How about his boys, Oh,

775
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 2: they are awesome. That's I mean, that's that's a cool

776
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 2: thing about being a pro athlete. Like I'm starting now

777
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 2: seeing the guys, the little kids that are in the

778
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 2: locker room are now like at Notre Dame and shit

779
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 2: playing at Ohio State.

780
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: That's great. That's the fun.

781
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: That's I think that's the best thing about pro sports,

782
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 2: seeing the like the boys kids.

783
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: Like my son played seventeen years pro yeah, Chris and

784
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: had his retired. They retarded as Jersey in Hershey where

785
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,280
Speaker 1: he went three calder Cops and they were playing fifty

786
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: something in games. And then Ryan played eleven years mostly

787
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: in the minors, but he played one NHL game Madison

788
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: Square Garden for the Rangers against the Ottawa Senators. If

789
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: you're going to play one game, that is where you

790
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 1: want to play it, right, Oh yeah, but it's fun.

791
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: But these kids grew up in the locker room, right

792
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: and they see, they watch and they just that's what

793
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: they want to do.

794
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

795
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 2: I went to that LA skate so we did. We

796
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 2: did a charity event after those. I can't skate, but

797
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 2: you try, right.

798
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: I try?

799
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm all right. I'm telling you if you

800
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 2: if I went out with you and you gave me

801
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 2: three techniques, I can figure it, like if you just

802
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 2: taught me how to do it, because I don't feel

803
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 2: uncomfortable in the ice. I mean, I grew up roller blading,

804
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: yeah yeah.

805
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: But roller bladings skating is a lot shorter stride, Like

806
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: I doubt I would work out. A lot of my workouts,

807
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: i'd do rollerblading around the track or some long distance stuff.

808
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: Then the first time I was on skate, i'd be

809
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: tripping almost I'd be falling forward because it's such a

810
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: shortest stride because roller blading you got to really take

811
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: it out. Yeah, and it's like longer. Then you got

812
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 1: on the ice. It's like, oh my god, so awkward.

813
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we did that skate. And I only bring

814
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 2: that up because all the Kings and there's a bunch

815
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 2: of former kings and their kids were there and these

816
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 2: like kids like they couldn't walk, but then they got

817
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 2: on the skates and they're fucking flying around me doing

818
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 2: laps and ship little girls doing finger skating.

819
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,479
Speaker 1: This I was, it was amazing skate.

820
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: You remember, remember that these kids were skating. He had

821
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 2: little little hockey haircut. Molly, there's a little badass kids.

822
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: We all had mullets. But my my grandson's three and

823
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: a half is going to be four, and got to

824
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: get him on right he's he's already flying like I'll

825
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: show you a video. It's like it's crazy. I was.

826
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: I said something like two days ago. I was like, wow, amazing,

827
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: how he improved and uh then I got a thirteen

828
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: year old grandson that plays a really nice level. He

829
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: plays really good hockey. So yeah, yeah, let's jump in.

830
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 2: So what do you think? What did you think about

831
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 2: this Devil's team? You first about this era? What was

832
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 2: this Devil's team era? What was your thoughts about the team?

833
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: Well, this group, I think they won two Cups, if

834
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: not three, and they were you know, they were on

835
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: a verge of winning another one against us, and that's

836
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: how good. They were. Just strong in all areas. You know,

837
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: they could score. They had great defense, they were tough, skilled,

838
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: and they had a great goaltender, so they were they

839
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: were not easy to solve, and they they really played

840
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: a nice system that they're really hard to penetrate and

841
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: to get some score goals. They were always among the

842
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: best defensive teams in the league by how structured they were,

843
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 1: so it was quite a challenge.

844
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,919
Speaker 2: Let's do a word association with certain guys. You give

845
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 2: me one word, I'll see a name, border a Wall

846
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 2: Wall Stevens.

847
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: Keep your head up. That niede Meyer so skilled and fast.

848
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: Robinson my idol, your idol. I grew up watching Larry

849
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: Robinson's Search of Art and Guilla Point in Montreal. All

850
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: those years, those three guys were my idols. That's why

851
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: I looked up to and playing against. Larry was coaching then,

852
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: so shaking his hand and line the words he had

853
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: for me were amazing.

854
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah what did he say?

855
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: He was just so happy that I finally got to

856
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: experience this, as as pissed as I am right now

857
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: that we didn't win. If there's one guy that I

858
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: wish could win, this is you. Wow.

859
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 2: Wow, those are that's an ultimate respect.

860
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: He's on there, I think ten times. Yeah, he had

861
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: his share, But but I played, you know, I played

862
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: with Larry and Canada Cups and eighty one and eighty

863
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 1: one for just amazing player and better person like so

864
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: so funny, such a good team leader. Yeah, kept things loose.

865
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 2: All right, Let's let's jump into the Avalanche Jackie.

866
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 5: The number one seed in the West, led by Captain

867
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 5: Joe Sakic. This was Ray's first little season with the

868
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 5: Avs coming off. Of course, we alluded to a little

869
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 5: bit earlier that Western Conference Finals loss Game seven to

870
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 5: Dallas the year prior. We got to talk about some

871
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 5: of these these ballers on this team. Sakkik Forstburg wah.

872
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: Ray, I mean just the Hall of famers, to name

873
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: a few, Rob Blake, Chris Drewery, Tong gay a lot,

874
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 1: Hey do hey do?

875
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 2: Now I want to go to the year before when

876
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 2: you got traded. How was that experience?

877
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 1: Now?

878
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 2: Was that a mutual I how?

879
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: You asked? Yeah, so, like I was talking earlier, how

880
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 1: the struggles had been you know, for quite a while,

881
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: and it was the hardest, hardest thing I ever had

882
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: to do in terms of my hockey career. As asked

883
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: to leave Boston. Call Harry Sindon. He was at the

884
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: general manager's meetings in Florida, and I called him and

885
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: I said, Harry, I said, you know, I've decided that

886
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: I've got to go somewhere to compete, to put myself

887
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 1: in a different environment, to see if I, you know,

888
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: first of all, if I still got it, and to

889
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: try to win again, or to compete to win, to

890
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: get somewhere, to have hope that a team, you know,

891
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: we could get somewhere. So I told him I wanted

892
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: to go to Philadelphia. I didn't want to go in

893
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: a Western conference. I was at the time we were

894
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: building our big house here in Boston, and I wanted

895
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,240
Speaker 1: to be able to commute come back when the schedule

896
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: allowed me to, and I thought Philadelphia, looking at the

897
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference, had the best opportunity. And I made that

898
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: very clear to Harry and he was like, Okay, I

899
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: hear you. And I knew Reggie Lemlin was a goodie

900
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: for the Bruins. That is one of my best friends.

901
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: That he was goalie coach for the Flyers, So I

902
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 1: knew everything that was going on on their side, and

903
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 1: I too, I thought I knew what was going on

904
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 1: on my side, and it just happened that there was

905
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: more teams involved at the end. And I, uh, I

906
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: knew this because I'm having dinner one night with my

907
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: agent and my wife and Steve Casper and his wife,

908
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: and Renee Angelil calls me Celein Dion's husband back in

909
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: the day. Yeah, don't know if you remember how we spoke.

910
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: Do you remember me? We played golf together in Montreal

911
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, yeah, Rene is yeah, I remember

912
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: because him and Pierre Lacroid, a general manager for the Avs,

913
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: were best friends. They grew up together. They talked every day,

914
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: and he says, Pierre does not know I'm calling you.

915
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: He says, I hear you might get traded. Corolado would

916
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: be an amazing place, and so I'm like, yeah, right,

917
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: Pierre doesn't know you're calling me, right, you talk every day.

918
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: So anyways, I knew Colorado was involved. Dave Alltt played

919
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: for Saint Louis back then that had played with the Bruins.

920
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: He called me and says, Saint Louis would like to

921
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: know if you come to Saint Louis. I'm like, that's

922
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: not where I want to go. I knew New Jersey

923
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: was involved, Detroit was involved, so I knew there was

924
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: other teams involved. So we're playing a Flyers some after

925
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon game. The last game I played with the Bruins,

926
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 1: and I Reggie Lemblin in the morning says, Ray, it's

927
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: a done deal. You're gonna you'll becoming a Philly. So

928
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: I'm like great. So the puck ends. I'm on the

929
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: ice the end the end of the game, and the

930
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: puck's just rolling right for me and the buzzard goes off.

931
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,720
Speaker 1: So I pick up the puck and I'm like, okay,

932
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: so I got the park for the last game I

933
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: played with the Bruins and all that stuff. So then, Uh,

934
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: after the game, I'm looking for Harry Sinda and I

935
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,919
Speaker 1: think it's a done deal. I can't reach Harry ended

936
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,919
Speaker 1: up calling me later that night says, sit tight, there's

937
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: other teams in ball. I said, you know where I

938
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,959
Speaker 1: want to go. He says, yeah, but we'll see. He says,

939
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: don't come to the rink Sunday if it's not done

940
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: by tomorrow. If it's not done by the next day,

941
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,439
Speaker 1: don't come. We're playing Ottawa on the Monday. He says,

942
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: stay away from the rink till it's done. So he

943
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: calls me. I get a call later that night at

944
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: the end of the the Senators game telling me that

945
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to Colorado but and warm up that that

946
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: night Dave Dave Anderchuk was pulled off the ice and

947
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: warm up and he calls me. He says, Ray, they

948
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: just pulled me off the ice. I'm probably going with you.

949
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: Where are we going? I said, I have no clue, Dave,

950
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: I haven't heard nothing yet. So we both end up

951
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: going to Colorado together. So it was but it was

952
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: an amazing I never played with so many French guys

953
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: in my life, and a hope, because you know Quebec

954
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: Nordeks or those that's team in ninety six that moved

955
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 1: to Denver, Yeah, to become the Avalanche, and they won

956
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 1: the Cup in ninety six the first year they were there.

957
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 1: They were ready to pop. When they moved from Quebec,

958
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: they were frigging ready to roll, and so they won

959
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: the Cup there. Then they competed. They got to the

960
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: Semis pretty much every year, but could never really get

961
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: over the hump until two thousand and one. So that's

962
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 1: how the deal went down. So you get traded.

963
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 2: Earlier in the interview, you go, you know, this is

964
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 2: the best team I ever played for. How is that

965
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 2: dynamic going when you're a fucking legend. Everyone knows you

966
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 2: as mister Bruin, you're the Boston Bruins. Okay, you're the

967
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 2: captain of the Boston Bruins. How was it going in

968
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 2: and re calibrating yourself to a new locker room, Because

969
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 2: that's tough. I don't know if I could do that.

970
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 2: I didn't leave like after like ten years because I

971
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 2: didn't want to go and learn new people. I didn't

972
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 2: want to learn new systems. Like that's a very big thing,

973
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 2: especially when you've been in somewhere for twenty plus years.

974
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 2: You know what you're doing, you know what I mean.

975
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 2: That's like being a rookie again in a little bit

976
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 2: of a facet, which is completely different because you're a

977
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 2: bored and you know, but you're learning guys for the

978
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 2: first time in an uncomfortable environment that you've never been in.

979
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 2: How was that dynamic?

980
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: Walking into that room? First of all was really weird.

981
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 2: I are you like Banks when you joined Mighty Ducks

982
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 2: from Banks?

983
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: I was asked to play in that movie just to come.

984
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: You know. They had a cameo of Yeah, I think

985
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: Luke Luke Rubbie Tie and I don't know who the

986
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,240
Speaker 1: other guy was, but there's two guys. And I was asking.

987
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not flying a LA feed so but

1621
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 7: Them one of them is the beard in the playoffs

1622
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 7: hockey is right into. That the guys don't shave throughout

1623
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,559
Speaker 7: basically two and a half months if they're still playing in.

1624
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 7: That but the other one is they will not touch

1625
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 7: it until they've earned.

1626
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 1: It AND i love that. Respect, Yeah like.

1627
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:48,640
Speaker 7: Whatever Lord stanley brought to this game back in the

1628
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 7: eighteen nineties when he purchased this In, London, england it

1629
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 7: has grown and. Grown the respect of it and all

1630
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:57,840
Speaker 7: of that and it could have a lot to do

1631
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 7: with the way the game is gowing in social media

1632
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:03,439
Speaker 7: and all of, that but it's our white gloves we.

1633
01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:08,040
Speaker 7: Wear the guys understand how hard it is to. Win

1634
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:10,839
Speaker 7: they know they can't do it by. Themselves their family

1635
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 7: is part of, it so when they touch, it they

1636
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:18,480
Speaker 7: want to have earned. It and you gotta love anytime

1637
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:20,120

1638
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 2: Sport, yeah you feel that with, hockey you feel respect.

1639
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:29,840

1640
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 2: all the, SPORTS i, feel has like the biggest respect

1641
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 2: for the people that came. Before and it's probably because

1642
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 2: this has something to do with. It you get to

1643
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:42,080
Speaker 2: see every single one of their names until they have

1644
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:44,639
Speaker 2: to remove one and add a, new but you get

1645
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:46,720
Speaker 2: to see the guys that put the, work the, blood to,

1768
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:54,599
Speaker 4: Question So i've, heard like recently that there's a lot

1769
01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:57,720
Speaker 4: of superstition around the ownership and having the cup in

1770
01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:00,000
Speaker 4: the building or not in the, building like when it's

1771
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:00,960
Speaker 4: like during The Stanley Cup.

1772
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:02,240
Speaker 1: Final is there any.

1773
01:35:02,200 --> 01:35:04,320
Speaker 4: Like how do you deal with that or any stories

1774
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:07,479
Speaker 4: from like having to like jostle superstitions while also being

1775
01:35:07,520 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 4: president for The Stanley Cup.

1776
01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:09,200
Speaker 1: Final it.

1777
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 7: IS i, mean there are other superstitions and it's pretty

1778
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:17,840
Speaker 7: amazing BECAUSE i Use colorado for, Example Pierre, laquali OLD

1779
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:21,280
Speaker 7: gm and president of The, avalanche he did not want

1780
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:24,360
Speaker 7: it in the building until it could possibly be young be.

1781
01:35:24,520 --> 01:35:28,760
Speaker 7: One so we're there doing our job with having the

1782
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:30,680
Speaker 7: cup have to be in the building because it could be,

1783
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:33,960
Speaker 7: won and Peerre laquad doesn't want it, there so you

1784
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:37,479
Speaker 7: have to kind of hide out of the, way but

1785
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:41,120
Speaker 7: at the same time respect his wishes and his. Superstitions

1786
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:43,800
Speaker 7: there's a lot of teams that think the same. Way

1787
01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:49,679
Speaker 7: boston was the same Way, Montreal. Toronto but in today's

1788
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 7: world of social, media everything else on, camera so everybody

1789
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:57,640
Speaker 7: knows where it's at and. That BUT i can really appreciate.

1790
01:35:57,200 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 1: Why they don't want it in the.

1791
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:01,320
Speaker 7: Building they don't think they've earned the right to have

1792
01:36:01,439 --> 01:36:05,240
Speaker 7: it there until they've actually. Done and then once that's,

1793
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:09,479
Speaker 7: happened those superstitions are gone and they become part of
