Scoring left winger in n. H. L. History. And i think though hes gone past some goals, but i think luke, by last mays on the show, he might still be dyess who are in, in 2017. He was named one of the 100 greatest n. H. L. Players in history. And folks, you can move that 25 greatest flyers and n. H. L. History. Just a great look. Prototype, how are you . My friend during great. Its good to see you. Again, brother. You know what . I was always its so funny to me. Look, you know, i know its hard to make the long run with the team now from rocky, all the way through, but i always look back on the kids that im trying to think. How did they meet taylor like just side of town . I think he was the g. M. Then i started looking at the numbers and he was the all time game guy change. You know, out of hand, all of a sudden youre saying that i think a 3rd now because a brow did it, but it always made me laugh. I thought, wow, that they let look. Robots, i, its that, what do you remember about that sees, you know, went down that you said im going to have to call him and see if that was the one of the reason you know, sports is funny. You know, things happen and you really never know. And, you know, sometimes when i was a player you would think something was personally, you get upset if you got traded them when i got on the other side now and have been at it long enough that you realize that nothings personal. Its whomever is in charge at that time. They believe theyre going to make the team a certain way to win. And sometimes theres different pressure behind the scenes that none of us know, like about budget and so forth. And probably never know exactly what was the reasoning behind the reason i left, but now i know that it was not personal. They really thought at that time they were doing the best thing for the team and, and they want to along with their moves. And theres nothing you can do. I mean new england, the pitcher has done it a 1000000 times. It is just the way it is. Yeah, youre right. Lucas, i watch brady. The other night. I watch joe montana at the end on a jeeves uniform. Yeah, i guess it does get mad to business. How do you, you know, it must be so hard, especially in hockey, where theres such a spree to core such camaraderie. I mean, i even watched the thing with prober a documentary and now after he left got his life got troubled. But even after he left, it falls more part because theres not, i dont know the band of brothers sort of thing. How have you found, be in a Front Office Guy . Does it fill up any of that juice or is it just a completely different life or did juice is still there . You know where, you know, you, its kind of fun to work for a team because somehow winning in everything youre doing is youre building the organization the best you see fit that will give you a chance to win a championship. And from that standpoint, i find it exciting and you know, i washed away the game is played to, im like, oh my god is no way i could get out there would hurt so bad. You know, some kind of glad im on the other side. But that being said, is just as much fun in a different way. I mean theres nothing that can replace playing a game being in that locker room and playing with your teammates and sticking up for the show, theres something im a player, especially hockey. Its all about the team, you know, its all about the logo and so forth. But, but the 2nd best thing is to be on the other side and still be involved that with the team that you love so much and for me to, thats been great. You know its, its funny when i watch the game now. And hockey is my favorite sport. I mean i, i just love the fact that hockey players in a way they police their own. Its tough to be a big timer at hockey. Because i think in the, not only guys on the other team, i think guys on your team will grab you as a young guy and say, listen brother, whether they win this and how we do it here. Youve got to, youve got to get in, you know, you dont have to be a complete square, but you cant, you cant be an idiot about this. So its my favorite sport. When i watched it this year, i remember thinking and even even modern times are encroaching and my favorite sport at some point. I remember a couple years ago for instance, look when they had thing about you couldnt put ice chips up on the goalie as a for gods sakes. I never stop punch him black, where earth johnny by hour and those guys they were in an ice storm for the last few years of their career. You never even saw that seemed like a worse role to me. And now when i watch the offside play the 2 minutes later, theres a goal scored an egg old back into the archives to find out of the guy skate played, wasnt on the ice. Its just that part of its drive me crazy, but its still the best game in the world. I think youre right. I mean definitely the game is changes, things have changed. That is funny. The funny thing about today is if you stray a goalie, you know, when you something from the refreeze will deal with that in neil days. It was never the referee to just let the guys on the ice deal with it. And i was a, that was a lot, a lot more painful. So thats why you saw that happen a lot less than you see it happened the day, you know, you know, theres things that, i mean, our game is gone so fast, i think even for the referees and lines was hard for me. The d. V. D. Onside rule, ill tell you. I like it because i play with gretzky. Ok, and i always, this is what i tell the kids a comer to as a listener. I play with and he was a god, you know, when in is their own, that deleting score would get 1125. 00 points a unique amy did 200. 00 points a year and i tell him, i said in those days the red line was involved in a play and i said i never saw one gretzky go out of sight. And because of that, he probably picked up an extra 2025 points a year because he was smart enough to bring his feedback stick and go and stay on site all the time because he knew that would give him a chance to go. Theres things you can do to graze, he was doing, but that you cant. You dont have to be dumb enough to lift your foot to make sure its him outside to me, its like the only reason you lift a foot over the other one is because youre scared you think youve got to get hits or youre rushing a play or you really are not paying attention or you dont, because you know, youre really not baited tenders. Libata, you dont really sorry, the line and just let the far go and well listen a guy with your cache that will make me think long and hard about it. Just as a fan, i sub absolutes and i think geez, i hate that there. Strobing it down to frame by frame now. But i guess the tech, the only exit exists and thats what you happen to know if you notice what, when i see a player is going to his right foot inside the zone and his left was a month and i see him just gently lifting his left foot mike, why, why would you do to have it just doesnt make sense to me. Well, i tell you one thing about wayne is and obviously im just a fan. Ive met him a couple times. What a gentleman and what a cool guy. You know, hes not, it was either hes just a match, but he always saw it like Bobby Fischer playing chess. I mean his bang, bang bang. Its like when you watch an old episode of star trek and this mr. Spocks like 3 moves down the board. That was wayne, i made it was, he was a freakin hockey, i. Q. Genius. In addition to being a physical, you know, anomaly, but what a smart cat. Yeah, he was a good things for us to make. So we know it, like i remember not to thing that wayne, after the game would know everyone on both teams, how many goals and assists they got, no matter what the score was. He knew that he was aware of everyone in the ass on both side. Then there are so many times to look funny off in hockey, it always shifts every minute for people that dont know as much about hockey. Even when if your life, when you watch your left winger and if your left winger comes to the bench, you go, whoa wayne was always aware what was going on on the ice, and if a guy would come to the bench and the next player wasnt ready, one would just jump because he knew we were short end of the many just worse than aware. And i remember even watching a game where the action would go, although on the left side of the rink, everybodys looking left and youd hear waynes voice go to really meant he was somehow figure out of that in which you really meant for the other team. And before the referee or anybody would sit in a building, its amazing how or where you were the game within the game its. Theres no one like him and as far as that is just so youre right. It was like, bobby fisher. Just a genius. Just a genius, everyone. Id look for that. You know, i was saying earlier in the intro, look at must boggle, your mind, young boy in montreals dont know who the habs had back when you were a kid who is stevie shaddai. I always remember from that era toronto, the big am was a killer left winger. It just boggles my mind that as you went from those frozen pawns, to blowing past guys who must have been, i caught it to you as a youth, the musket surrealistic in your head right until you went to growing up in montreal because the canadians were so good, you know me . No. As in the 70s they won 4. Consider all i mean, innes, i think when you do last 8 games or next year to last, well, so we never saw them lose and so forth. And then next again, no are like maybe 10 years later making any channel. And this was just a dream. I never even set out for it. I dont even know if it could happen and ill never forget one day i was doing an interview postgame i had like a lot of a good run, maybe 4 or 5 games, where weve goals and a reporter asked me, goes you excited about your next goal . And im like, well, what do you mean by that . And he said, well, your next goal was tied to rocket rashard. And for me growing up in montreal, thats like growing up in the us and someone teach time youd stories will babe ruth and so forth. You know Mickey Mantle and then youre sitting as a kid, a kid friends getting women. Im going to tie the rocket research. I do recall i was a little bit almost embarrassed about it because it was like a rock and rashard. Im going to be time that didnt seem real. Theres a pretty, pretty cool, you know, look when you look back on those original 6 and folks, you have to remember. Im just saying, im a hockey, that going to get another body follows that closely. If you can believe that a one point, their early sixtys eaves and you think about the wealth of talent that was being funny and old and an ass and 620. 00 parts 20 parts and teams. You really have to cram the crab. And when you look back, you look at always boggles my mind when i see terry saw chuck going down and he does not have a mascot. Its absolutely boggles your mind to think these guys played that down and dirty at that fight. I mean, its amazing. I did every once in a while, a washy n. H. L. No one to show an old games. Im just like, i cant believe these guys had no mask and you see them, theyre diving left and right. Even though the shots werent the same, the stick, but i remember watching like on bobby always figured out a curve is stick him in stand make you knew would come down and roof it like goalies will freak and he was shooting at their heads and they had no mass could you imagine thats raese what weve been looking back a little in this 1st segment folks, but thats what i want to pick up in the 2nd segment. I want to talk about where the league goes from here. I want to talk about where the kings go from here. I want to talk about some of those young players. I also want to talk about how yeah, sure. Out. Arguably, one of the greatest goalies of all time quickie. I mean, out of the baby face, assess one of my favorites of all time and you know, careers happen and what will have to see what, what we do in a day new. Well talk about all that with the president of the kings. The great look robot side and look, just before we split, are you still the leading left wing points guy . I know ovies up about 700 go where you are now its why still number one . I honestly dont think to look like to look robots i right up to this on Dennis Miller plus one is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe, isolation or community . Are you going the right way or are you being led away . What is true . What is faith . In a world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. During the vietnam war, us forces also bombed to neighboring laos. It was a secret war and for years the American People did not know until our thelma is officially the mouth can rebound country per capita human history. Millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this Small Agricultural country. Jordyn wieber going to concerts happening even today, kids in laos, full victims of bombs dropped decades ago. Is the us making amends for the tragedy in laos . What help do the people need in that little land of mines back geysers financial survival guide. Housing bubble. Oh you mean theres a downside to artificial mortgage. Truth dont get carried away. Thats cause report seemed wrong. Just dont hold any old belief to shape out these days. You can stick up to it and engage with equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. Hey folks, welcome back to Dennis Miller plus one more talkin to l. A. Kings president , one of the greatest of all hockey players, look robot sigh, and look, tell me. But what will get to the league in the medicines, but tell me about the kinks. Tell me about a couple of these youngsters and tell me where youre at with a quickie and a few of the other guys whove been around browning for a while. Its funny when i put on the end of all hockey players names, i guess its some honorarium. They dont really know what theyre in a certain, you know, youre in the game. Tell me about the youngsters weve got coming up. Look, you know, were, we feel like were pretty loaded with, you know, the, all the outside experts seem to put us in the top 2 or 3 of a prospect coming up the last couple years. You know, we havent treated any young draft choices 2017, so weve hung on to all of those kids since 2007. When deena barty came on board and weve established your Development Group to make sure these guys will get their next step and learn to what it means to become explaining in plain units, you know what your organization with the most. Some are players in the n. H. L. , you know, did your think it means, but deplaning, mitchell, so were very competent with this group. Now look, you were talking earlier, put your Team President had on that speed at speed kill whats always kill but speed more important than ever. And this leg i used to always think of it. Its like in baseball, you build strong up the middle with a double play Tennis Center fielder, catcher. And i think used to think about that sudden degree in hockey. Build strong up the center has a change. Now, what are you, what are you looking for . Just speed everywhere are we . Thats the key direct effort. Somebody has run a team will because were in a cat league and it makes it really hard to hang onto, everyones because, you know, you can only have so much money for the whole group. You really want to focus on your top 7 corporate say which you know, if its a goalie, its a number one defense or like george dowdy. Then you want to have a 2nd defense or not help you. And then you, you want to have your 1st 2 centers, Number One Center 2nd line center. So thats 5, and then you want to have 8. You know, when your doc can break a game open, what one shot you know, like a pure bull or deck and really make a difference. And then then the next, the next guy out of ends up being 7. It could be either another way or, or a 3rd defenseman. I probably would prefer their defensemen. You really focus a think a month yok, any of that, the big 3 and kind of love when it team has 2 or 3 defensemen that you could count on them 100 percent of the time. But if you have those 7 guys and you focus on them and add the right character, the right players, then everybody else around is guys. Theyre either young coming up. Or if theyre stablished, they know exactly their role. If they know and understand their role for the benefit of the organization, and they play hard that role, you know, a lot of games. Yeah, the cap league is a heartbreaker mad because there are times when guys come along like Justin Williams and you know, you gotta move a lot or earlier. Theres only so much money to go around and im glad he got the agur. And i think i think you got another cup. I remember 2nd, but it seems to me once a washington, but you lose guys like that boy, that is a better pill isnt a yeah not. No, youre right. I thought for a 2nd, if you were in the come, no, you did. Nobody go really close because he helped establish it in washington. Washington, your culture did he want to carry . Lennon ledecky . Remember that hes down and murdered there all the fun. So there were to do in postgame the christ. There were stories that want to started out, but yeah, guys like that. We missed him once we left, but we had no room to keep him. So makes it really hard and you got to make some hard choices at some point. You know, its funny whenever you watch any sports, like a man or to somebody who runs the leg be it could now be it. You know, the cat are replaced by adam silver over in the n. B. A. There. They always get booed. But im telling you over the years ive got, ive grown 5, i think better runs and i shot fire. I really know. And i think i think the link played this covert thing about a smartish a can this year. What are your thoughts . Yeah, i think i think it gary and everybody in the league. I remember we were nose meanies before and he was talking goes, look, were not going to rush it. Were going to make sure we do it right. And you know, up to the last i think within a week of but a time to decide where to go. It was still we were talking about me meet the l. A. Being want up. There were texas and they waited and waited. Next again, no one day heard. Like in, in, in canada they were less cases. They said lets go there. And now is the real main reason they built these hubs and they did a really good job and they knew the players, hockey players are pretty disciplined. You know, so they knew i was going. Ringback to set it up and did a good job. I mean, you talk to the guys, it seem a day really enjoy tronto. They thought in minton was not. There was not as much to do, but it still was really well done. And i thought for the league to be able to finish just season and doing it with us that wish tramp the yeah, you didnt see as many Tampa Bay Lightning players kiss in the cup this year. Folks. Not, not the tiny, not tied to be sure sharing a common metallic object on the left. There after i did see if you guys drink, you know, as i own, come on guys this time thats one of the, one of the best things about hockey is in a way no game takes itself more seriously. And another way the game takes it. So i can have a little fun with it that thing at the end then i guess they had to do away with that this year where they shake hands at the end of the series is just an amazing thing. I think ive only seen one guy over the entire time. Ive been watching hockey. You wouldnt shake. It was a cat who came out from boston dart team for a while, and this is the same disc a mod for a year to play for the bruins. They came out here, i think one year he was so pissed off, he wouldnt shake hands with somebody yet, but in the end, the one that i see didnt shake hands. Im. Im turning, remember i have the name of a governor. I can remember youll come back to me, but the other guy was marty berger when she shawnee rees him. Remember that when youre wondering if its weird the way the after you tube the savory video where he just gets in front of rodoreda. He has this like out of outside on the lope, thought worry, thinks this guys been beaten, our brains and for ages im just going to completely shadow and like, and stay right in front of the do this and bro door just its just crazy. You know way i made it another way by good for avery. At least thats probably the only way you could meet martin crowe door when i was at your gay robert, i mean you only stop playing. Trying to block is viewed. I was, there was a point is they are risky. I love that. I love the fact though that when they do get the cop, everybody seems to get a day with a cup. If youve ever seen that footage, its a guys take it back there and canoes. With it there, i guess a lot of the players are doubting manhattan beach. Youll see it bartender in manhattan beach. Its just absolutely hilarious. How they treat the cup. Were to take it on your day when you and i try to think of the jeffery the general get it. Yeah. When i was in detroit, i won in and wherever marine, and the time is. I always said if i win guys to the guys that i knew in l. A. That we used to play hockey on monday nights. You know what bruckheimer and all the, guys said. If i would try someone to bring back in l. A. , so iconic that summer when it was my time, i brought it back here and it was kind of good because Chris Chelios had it in malibu too. So we ended up having it for 3 full days. So i had a big party on that on a saturday, and it was in my house and i thought id get maybe a couple 100 people i think weighed up at 350. It was just totally out of control. And then the next, next day it was really cool because we got a permit to bring it right below the hollywood sign. So we hunker down and went to the hall with sun. The only problem they didnt figure out is a hard to picture was going to be, have to be taken because they had to be in the street all the way down below. But we got some course. We took it to universal studios. We actually took it on the Jurassic Park ride and then remember universal. I had to get back to cup before the big drop there, not dressing part. Right. And then we took it to us. We took at the dodger stadium. I mean, it was kind of funny because that day when i went to dodger stadium, Tommy Lasorda was there and i set up with them. But they were playing atlanta. And tom glavine was, it was on a team in atlanta. And back in the draft in 1984. Tom glavine said he would never play hockey and i was joked with people that people said, man, you got drafted in one thrown by the king. I go. Yeah, but the funny thing is, tom glavine said he would never play hockey and the king still drafted him. Ahead of me in the 4th round, so i said, thats how much of the guy says, ill never play hockey. Im going to play baseball. He was drafted in the 4th round this ridge guided things there. But such a picture, what it had, you know, you have about else. You know, its funny. As i recently i went down to bell would add that it was my friend john mcenroe. Hes right near cheli. He works out with them every day. He said he thinks jelly could get the ice tomorrow and still or not. But he is obese. Like hes a machinist. Guy works out all the to easy only player like it is like i used to see like he, he kind of, you know, eat like to go out everyone. So, but he would come back from the bar sometime and go to the rink, and he would ride the bike for like half hour, 45 minutes inside the sauna, and full steam, and the Prime Minister seen anybody. What i did might not have our inside asuna, and he would do that every day and then he would get on the ice be the hardest working guy, not the time when i was playing way moves like 394 years old. He was unbelievable. He really is a machine. Yeah, guys like him and messiaen just to prove the church definition a hockey players and leaders, well weve been talking to one of the greats folks. Hes currently the president los angeles kings, but 14 seasons in the n. H. L. And but as i said earlier, arguably the greatest left winger who ever played the game units at that. And you could have that. Chad, i know its not all stat based, but im talking my man will be shy, but you can seriously have that conversation for a young kid coming out of montreal. Go on a night through out. That is heavy wind, brother, you must the head over the years. Fallen on that are good for you baby. You maxed it out and lifes good yappy. Yeah. Lifes good. Were just we were looking to get back. Hopefully we get back at work playing in early january, so theyll be fine. You know, just to, just, to get going and, you know, im dont think well have too many people in the stands at 1st, but hopefully we get to a point where we can, we can bring our fans back in, you know, we can, we, can we get supreme you want to go and meet and every one of us are going to miss it. I miss it. A lot. Best sport, the world folks wrestling the National Hockey league. Good to talk to about talk to down the road. Have a happy holiday. Ok. Thank you. Later getting this is Dennis Miller plus one. A new gold rush is underway in ghana. Thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields, hoping to strike it. Rich. As children are torn between gold, was very poor. Get back to school, which side will have the strongest appeal for we expect from them by doing ministration, when it comes to russia. As things stand today, relations is replete with hard liners, with a long record of failure to give greater, transferred to simpson, exacerbating, and alarming everyone mindlessly. Actually, what that means is we end up making a lot, but actually very little in the days headlines. Top australian figures, including a former Prime Minister condemn reports that the countrys soldiers were injured, dozens of afghan civilians and look at the long history of socalled Collateral Damage in the war on terror. So how do you know french catholics rally against a ban on religious gatherings . During the lockdown, amid a surge pointed to a disturbing historical parallels in french history. This isnt the 1st time that going to mass has been considered illegal or the churches have bad luck. Going to
