P.K. Subban says the Toronto Maple Leaf's 'CAN'T' mess up the No. 1 pick 😳 | The Pat McAfee Show
NHL on ESPN
0:00 Wow,
0:00 what a beauty.
0:01 Let's go.
0:04 That the pin strikes.
0:08 Pinstripes.
0:09 Hey, I had to when I was coming in, I had to I had to look the part today.
0:13 Okay, so this is not one of the costumes
0:14 you would wear on super duper hockey night on ESPN,
0:17 but this is one that you would wear whenever you have to look fly.
0:20 Would I have to be a professional?
0:21 Today's a professional day.
0:22 You're incredible uh obviously at what you do.
0:25 Do you you live in New York uh full-time?
0:27 Yes, I'm in New York now full-time.
0:29 Okay.
0:29 Are you in this area of town?
0:30 No, I'm Soho.
0:32 So I'm I'm one of those single guys.
0:34 Yeah.
0:36 One of those single guys just living the dream, you know, down in Soho.
0:39 So I'm loving it.
0:40 You ever been to Carbone Zezy's club?
0:43 You know what?
0:44 I have not been to Is it Cassid Chiprianis on the water?
0:48 Is that what you're talking about?
0:49 Carbone.
0:49 Is that the same or no?
0:50 No.
0:51 It sounds like you don't know what you're No, I'm an Amelio's guy.
0:53 Amelio Bolados.
0:54 That's it's a staple for me.
0:57 Are you friends with Alio?
0:58 Yeah, I am.
0:59 I am friends with him actually.
1:00 Yeah, really close.
1:02 That makes sense.
1:02 One of the first people I met in the city when I came.
1:05 Just a real guy from the city.
1:08 And I don't know, whenever I go to a new city,
1:10 I don't want to meet people that move there.
1:11 I want to meet people that are actually from there,
1:13 that know the city, that can tell me where to actually go.
1:17 Absolutely.
1:16 And it's like, not tourists and stuff.
1:18 So, yeah.
1:19 Shout out to Amelio.
1:20 Yeah.
1:20 Shout out to Amelio, man.
1:22 Everybody that's friends with you is very happy that they're friends with you.
1:24 That that is what I've learned for over
1:25 the last 24 hours being here in New York.
1:27 I've learned of this Amelio man multiple times.
1:30 Everybody that's friends with Amelio says I'm friends
1:32 with Amelio and it's like a big holy[ __] Yeah, that's how everybody views this.
1:37 He's the guy cuz he's just cool.
1:38 He's the coolest.
1:39 He's he's a good dude.
1:40 He's rooted in the city, but he's just down to earth.
1:43 He's going to treat you like everybody else.
1:44 So that's why I think people love to go there.
1:46 I like the local stuff.
1:47 That's why I went to Starbucks this morning.
1:49 You went to Starbucks?
1:50 Okay.
1:50 I still go to Starbucks.
1:51 I'm not going to the local coffee shop in New York.
1:53 I'll go to a Starbucks.
1:54 I felt a little bit like an[ __] Did you?
1:57 Yeah.
1:57 We walked by 14 cafes to Starbucks.
2:00 You walked by all 14 to pay like $35 for what?
2:04 Yeah.
2:04 Hot water and a couple espresso shop.
2:06 Let's call it
2:06 I'm not chirping Starbucks by any means.
2:08 Like I I drank it.
2:09 Yeah, we certainly drank it.
2:10 But I felt like a little bit of an[ __] walking
2:12 by Jack and Dian's and Lucy's and you know the other one Lucy's
2:17 I think it was a cafe I walked by earlier.
2:18 Oh, okay.
2:19 Super hipsters, sweet looking people in there.
2:22 What do they have a cool glass of coffee?
2:23 I said, "Excuse me, I got to get Starbucks." felt like an[ __]
2:26 Okay.
2:26 Well,
2:27 it's kind of Bruce's fault over there.
2:28 You see Bruce?
2:29 Yeah, I see Bruce.
2:30 Which one's Bruce?
2:30 Is Bruce?
2:31 No, Bruce right here.
2:31 Over here.
2:32 Hey, what's up, Bruce?
2:33 What's going on?
2:33 What's up, dude?
2:34 Bruce, why'd you take me to Starbucks instead of one of the local places?
2:37 I I just prefer it to be honest with you.
2:39 A lot of what PK's talking about with super expensive lattes,
2:42 like it's just not really worth it.
2:44 We go to Starbucks, we get what we always get, we keep a move.
2:47 Wait till he takes you to his favorite pizza place, Sabarro.
2:51 You ever been to that?
2:52 You Sparrow?
2:54 No.
2:54 S B A R R O
2:56 Is it
2:57 so good?
2:57 It's New York.
2:58 That's not like a special place.
3:00 That's not like 101.
3:01 The Starbucks is special.
3:04 I mean, it's not Amelio's, of course,
3:06 but Sparrow is very special to a lot of people.
3:10 OKAY.
3:10 GENUINE NEW YORK.
3:11 THE STARBUCKS OF PIZZA.
3:12 BUT my my new my pizza place is not even in Manhattan.
3:16 I got to go out to Brooklyn for this one.
3:18 L& Bees, Simone Gardens.
3:20 I got to get out there.
3:21 You have to get the square slice.
3:24 It's unbelievable.
3:25 So I I drive I drive out there to get it.
3:27 I'm in Brooklyn, Queenville.
3:28 Okay.
3:30 PK and the BK.
3:31 Oh, I like that.
3:33 Okay.
3:32 It's like the Jay Tatum.
3:34 I know.
3:35 We're going to put that one TO BED.
3:36 THE J.
3:38 OKAY.
3:38 ALL RIGHT.
3:38 WE'LL bring it.
3:39 We'll keep it.
3:39 We'll keep it.
3:40 But they're out of the playoffs,
3:41 so now it's not hitting as far, you know, in my mind.
3:43 But the J J eight.
3:49 BOOM.
3:50 LET'S GO.
3:51 That's a pretty good little double pump there.
3:52 Ah, can you tell me about hockey?
3:54 Um, okay.
3:55 The Avalanche have uh lost to the Minnesota Wild one time.
3:58 They could have been a clean sweep.
4:00 Obviously, the Carolina Hurricanes were able to do that.
4:02 Kirk Herbstreak goes way out on a limb where the fruit
4:04 are and says he likes Carolina to take on Colorado.
4:07 Yep.
4:08 Is that how we should be viewing it or is there a chance at Montreal
4:10 Buffalo kind of sneak their way into the finals
4:12 so we can showcase maybe their atmospheres?
4:15 How about Vegas Golden Knights?
4:16 Nobody's talking about them.
4:17 Anaheim Ducks obviously got Lorax as a coach.
4:19 I love their team.
4:20 They're in a battle 22 series.
4:22 Feels like Colorado and Carolina have stolen
4:24 the conversation strictly because they've been sweeping everybody.
4:26 Can anybody make it right now?
4:28 Is that how you view this or is it really a two- horse race at this stage?
4:31 Anybody can make I think in the East there's still a chance,
4:35 you know, and I really believe it's Montreal.
4:37 Um, obviously they got to get out of this series.
4:40 Buffalo's going to turn it on tonight.
4:41 I expect a much better game from Buffalo tonight.
4:44 They were not good enough.
4:46 They didn't tilt the ice.
4:47 They were sitting back on their heels other than
4:49 the start of scoring 53 seconds into the game.
4:52 That was their best shot.
4:54 What are you doing over here?
4:55 That stuff's good.
4:56 I know you gota
4:57 you worry about what's going on.
4:58 Okay, we're cleaning things up over here.
5:00 No, no, no.
5:01 I'm just kidding.
5:01 So, I think that Montreal is going to come.
5:04 I think they they might challenge Carolina, but Carolina,
5:08 as much as this pains me to say it,
5:09 Pat, I haven't picked Carolina to win a series in four or five years.
5:13 Carolina Hurricane Kane fans are loving every single moment of this right now.
5:18 And I do believe that this if this is going to be
5:20 their best chance to win a Stanley Cup since the last time they won.
5:23 Like this is their chance.
5:25 If they don't get it this year,
5:26 and I'm not talking about getting to the finals, they got to win it this year.
5:30 So that being said, that's what Montreal or Buffalo is up against.
5:34 Um in the West, I agree.
5:35 I I think Colorado is the team coming out of the West.
5:38 Vegas has a chance, but they got to figure out Anaheim first.
5:40 Yeah, Anaheim certainly been a little bit of a tough task there.
5:43 The Hurricanes become the first team to start
5:45 a postseason 8-0 since the Oilers in 1985.
5:50 Lost three games the entire playoffs in route to a title.
5:53 A lot of people saying they're going to win
5:54 a title if you have this particular stat, this particular stat.
5:57 The Kaniacs down there in Raleigh
5:59 will certainly love another opportunity at that.
6:01 Let's turn a conversation into NHL playoff hockey.
6:05 Do you think this been a great display of what the game is?
6:08 I think it has been.
6:09 ratings have been up and to the right.
6:11 Montreal going to change to showcase who they are.
6:13 Every single environment has been fantastic.
6:15 Now, couple runaways.
6:17 Carolina sweeps two people.
6:18 They're going to wait for a week, maybe get healthy.
6:20 Colorado could potentially do the same.
6:21 But I think hockey has shown up here.
6:23 Do you not agree, Pet?
6:25 100%.
6:25 And and in regards to the sweeps, by the way,
6:28 we always want to have the element of the underdog upsetting a better team.
6:33 It's always there.
6:34 I've been an eight-seated team that upsetted a first place team in the playoffs.
6:38 it it can happen.
6:39 So, you know, some years it's going to happen,
6:41 some years it's not going to happen.
6:42 That's a part of it.
6:43 But aside from that, uh you cannot tell me the quality
6:46 of hockey isn't at the highest that it's been ever.
6:48 I think in terms of the skill, the young players, like that's the thing now.
6:52 The young players are coming in ready to play.
6:54 The NHL is not a development league.
6:56 I I I don't I'm not going to tell
6:58 someone you're going to develop in this league.
6:59 You have to come in ready to play.
7:01 And you see guys like Lane Hudson that are
7:03 now being considered in just a couple years,
7:06 the some of the best players in the league.
7:07 You look at Lane Hudson, Slowski, all these guys.
7:10 Uh Buffalo's got a few guys.
7:11 Anaheim's got Lao Carlson,
7:13 uh Troy Terry and a couple other guys, Senica that are coming.
7:16 So there's a smorgish board of young talent.
7:19 That's what screams the future is bright in the NHL, right?
7:22 Speaking of the future, the draft obviously just found its way.
7:25 Connor has a question for you about number one overall pick.
7:27 Yeah, PK, it feels as though, and I'm not, you know, making accusations, okay,
7:33 but it feels as though maybe it was rigged for Gavin
7:36 McKenna to go number one to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
7:39 Uh the the Maple Leafs have had odds
7:41 in the top 10 basically twice and they missed the playoffs
7:44 twice in the last what 10 15 years and both
7:47 times they end up with that number one pick.
7:49 How do you feel about Gavin McKenna going number one?
7:52 Is that definitely a lock?
7:54 And do you think that the Toronto Maple Leafs,
7:57 I mean, we're not even going to bring up the GM.
7:58 You said you got a lot to say about that, but do you
8:00 think they hang on to kind of their core with Austin Matthews and them,
8:04 or do you think this is kind of a new
8:06 era for Toronto as far as the Maple Leafs go?
8:09 Great questions.
8:10 Uh, first of all, this puts an immense amount of pressure.
8:13 If there wasn't enough pressure on Toronto already,
8:16 getting the first overall pick, I know, I know some people are excited about it,
8:19 but being a new GM coming in, new management,
8:22 and getting that first overall pick in Toronto, like you cannot mess that up.
8:26 You can't[ __] that up.
8:28 I think you can't, excuse my French, but you can't mess that up.
8:31 If if they do, um, you know, this is not going to be good.
8:36 So, the question is here,
8:38 do they build around Austin Matthews and Willie Neland?
8:41 And I I'd have to say I think they're
8:43 closer to probably tearing this thing down and rebuilding it.
8:47 I you know I don't want to say that.
8:48 I don't know.
8:49 I don't have any insight into it, but they need defense.
8:52 They have to retool their goalending.
8:54 Like how many young prospects do they have in the system?
8:57 They've traded away first round picks.
8:59 They have to retool.
9:00 Like we're building this not to compete and content.
9:03 You got to win a championship.
9:05 Not contend for one.
9:06 You got to win one.
9:07 So, they've built contending teams that haven't even
9:10 been able to get out of the first round.
9:12 So, to me, a new breath of fresh air has got to come in.
9:15 Whether Austin, Matthews, and Knander are a part of it,
9:17 I think that's up to them, too.
9:19 Whether their contracts allow them to go or not,
9:21 do they want to be a part of a rebuild?
9:23 Do you think the entire US Olympic team should just come back to America,
9:26 get Halibuck the hell out of there,
9:27 get Brady Kachchuck the hell out of there, get Austin the hell out of there?
9:31 And listen, I Michael Anlar, the ownership there.
9:33 I know what they're doing in Ottawa and and I believe
9:36 that Ottawa is going to be a great place to play.
9:38 A lot of guys are going to want to play there
9:40 once all that stuff happens at the new arena, I think eventually.
9:43 But for Brady Kachchuck right now,
9:45 I would have been out of there yesterday because of just
9:48 of where he is in his career, where his game is.
9:51 Uh I believe it's just too heavy.
9:52 It's too much.
9:53 He shouldn't have that much on his shoulders to go out.
9:55 He's already the captain of the team, leads by example.
9:58 They put way too much heat on him.
10:00 And I played in Canada.
10:01 I know what it's like, but for him,
10:03 he should be appreciated for the game that he brings every day.
10:06 And I think he's going to have a better
10:07 opportunity to go somewhere and lead and and win.
10:11 Yeah.
10:11 I think Florida, I want to see him go play with Matthew in Florida.
10:14 Good.
10:15 He fits.
10:15 Listen to me.
10:16 He fits in with their style.
10:18 Right.
10:18 He might be a better fit for Florida than Matthew is with the way he plays.
10:22 I'm being honest.
10:22 So now he slides in there.
10:24 I I would like to see him in there.
10:26 And they're kachchucking nucks, too.
10:28 Yeah.
10:28 No, for sure.
10:29 They're certainly kachucking knucks all over the place.
10:32 I got a few.
10:32 He beat.
10:33 Oh yeah.
10:34 Brady.
10:34 I fought Brady.
10:35 You fought Brad, dude.
10:36 Oh my god.
10:37 So,
10:37 do you do you win a lot of fights or lose a lot of fights?
10:40 It's
10:40 surprisingly so with the way my face looks.
10:42 I've won like more than I've lost obviously cuz I'm telling you,
10:46 I fought a couple guys that I shouldn't
10:48 have fought that could have gone the wrong way.
10:49 Like I remember one fight Boro Wiki,
10:52 he could have splattered my whole face and he just happened to hit my visor.
10:55 Lucky time.
10:56 Um, but very, very, very, very lucky.
10:59 But Brady, I'm in Ottawa.
11:01 It's his rookie season.
11:03 And you know, I know Keith Kachchuck.
11:05 I remember meeting Brady and Matthew at a hockey
11:07 tournament when they were just little kids.
11:09 And I Chris O Sullivan's a good friend of mine.
11:11 Obviously, the Fitzgeralds that are tight with the Kachchuck.
11:13 So, I know him.
11:14 So, Brady's out there, but he's got a little chip on his shoulder.
11:17 And I'm out there.
11:18 I've been out there for an extended shift.
11:19 And he gets in front of the net, and he knows I've been out there long.
11:22 I'm I'm not giving him that free pass.
11:24 I know Keith taught him how to fight and when to pick his fights.
11:27 He grabbed me at the end of my shift, but it didn't matter.
11:30 He put his hands on me from the mo 18 years old.
11:33 He put his hands on me.
11:35 I don't know if I've ever felt a guy
11:37 in my career that that young have that much strength.
11:41 No, watch the fight.
11:42 He's basically going like this on the top of my head.
11:44 Look, I'm way in over my head here.
11:46 Way in over my head.
11:48 And I'm just eating them.
11:49 You know, you just got to hang in there.
11:51 Seat belt.
11:52 Try to get your arm loose.
11:53 You can tell I'm tired.
11:54 And Brady's like, "Yep,
11:55 you're getting tucked in." And that's exactly what he said to me at the end.
11:58 He's like, "Yep, I tucked you in." What?
11:59 Body slam.
12:01 Yep.
12:01 Watch.
12:01 And then he tells me right after, "You got tucked in.
12:04 It's okay.
12:05 This is probably closer to the end for you.
12:06 You'll probably be with Pat watching this in a couple years."
12:10 And he wasn't wrong about that.
12:12 He wasn't wrong about that at all.
12:14 Yeah, he is a unit.
12:15 Um, I got a lot of respect for him, man.
12:17 He's as tough as they come.
12:18 We got a lot of respect for you.
12:19 We appreciate you coming over here and giving us the hockey good.
12:22 It's great to see you, dude.
12:23 It's so nice to meet you, Pat.
12:24 I'm telling you guys, you're better looking in person.
12:27 You look great on TV, but better in person.
12:29 I I can see why you're a kicker now.
12:30 I can see the legs, man.
12:32 See that?
12:32 Yeah, you got a little bit of ace.
12:33 No, it's an honor, man.
12:34 Thank you.
12:35 Thank you for having me, bro.
