Sans Restrictions | Ep 533
topics : the organisation (staff, Jumbo, Mike Ricci), Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith (and their shenanigans), Ryan Reaves
10:10 | his 200th game pr guy brought back the puck for him
10:20 | grateful for sj staff "good hearts" welcomed him when he wasn't feeling good about his game, will miss them
59:20 | we're talking about everyone i played with but Jumbo Joe i haven't played with him but he's always there. do you play fortnite with Jumbo ? no but he was telling me "oh i played fortnite last night fucking kids they're way too good for me". took showers with him, he went training then took a shower downstairs with the boys. he's still one of the boys it's funny you go in the showers and you're like hey what's up Jumbo. Marleau too, he's often there around the arena and when i was doing my rehab skate he hoped on with me. Mike Ricci same greasy long hair all my rehab skate were with him he's my guy what does he do ? he does everything but he does nothing. he's always at the arena, always his skates at his feet, always doing guy's rehabs, but during practice he places pucks, coaches and players always mess with him. he loves hockey so much he's just happy to be there
1:01:30 | i was telling you about about staff i forgot but jumbo i'm sure if i see him he's like vinnyy and gives me a hug you know i was doing my rehab and he was training i'd be like "oh dj what are u putting on" "oh jucie wrld i love juice wrld" "no way dude me too" guy said jumbo's 14 because he plays fortnite and like juice wrld lmao
11:15 | how are the kids there ? they are clowns. honestly it's like if i was back to college, they're like freshmen in college, they're always messing with you. at some point Toff's like "hey Vin can you help me i'm done with those guys". Toff's like the dad. i'm like the uncle like come here [he uses an expression "mononcle" which apparently is someone old-fashioned like alluding to physical punishment but its all sacarsm ofc]. sometimes i'm sat down not reacting and i'll say "Smitty if you try again i promise" and he's like "Mack, Mack" he goes and gets Mack because they always gotta be together, and they try again so i stand up and they start running away, like kids, literally. but that's why it's a good vibe, always smiling, always saying dumb stuff. and when you get on the ice it's business
52:50 | we talked about sid connor and mack did u get anything from them ? mack yes, smitty too both gave me a stick, mack wrote something on it too, it was really cool he took the time to do it. connor signed a jersey but i'll get a stick i'll ask him this year sid too and ovi
12:21 | he's everywhere, he did Worlds championship, he did Olympics. *talking about Mack's record breaking points* he was 19? he was 19. at the Olympics he was the guy with the most toi no at the Olympics he was the best player on the ice period no discussion you at 19 what were you doing ?
5:05 | [Connor's a gifted kid] Sid is more everyone together, family, Mack likes to be around ppl, eating with ppl, he likes to socialise
16:20 | mtl vs sjs when mack decided to score the goal speechless pause it was wild i was sat and i was like EH EH EH OH! then everyone in the bell center sat down it was a silence like what did the kid just do in front of everyone we were shocked
16:10 | some ppl dont see how good smitty is! he smells blood, sometimes you're like he's not doing anything today then bam he scores you're like where were you today didn't see you. not the guy you'll see during all the game, not same style as mack at all. can't compare but reminds me of sid/geno not comparing geno, his skills set is unique. smitty smells blood
39:00 | rempe asked him, reaves said i'll go freeze a guy first, he hits a guy in the shoulder, most badass hit i've ever seen, turns around then throws his gloves like yeah now we can go you have my permission then they really go at it reaves hits him twice then pulls him down then looks at us says "little boy, he's too little, little boy, he's a little boy" then we had our first win of the season
40:12 | reaves is amazing, really appreciate this guy, such a team guy, he's always there smiling "mack fuck with me today..." for sure when he said that mack didn't do it he's 20 years older it's funny the dynamic between them they're close and it's fun, but he could literally be his kid, reaves kid's 11, mack is closer in age with the kid than reaves. always inviting to dinner making sure everyone's here always inviting out when i was like "yeah don't feel like going out" he would call me like "get your ass here" "alright then i'm coming" is he staying there i dont know he's got 38 games left for 1000. think about it, a guy like him, 1000 games, think about the courage, the determination, it takes everyday to be like ok who's the tough guy on that team and now it's less worse because there's less fights but every game you have to be ready and everyone wants to try [to fight him] and he's the one to decide
