Steve:think
Steve:it's an
Steve:it's a

Steve:No,
Steve:they should do maple
Steve:syrup.

Lovella:Let's start a
Lovella:petition.
Steve:Okay, so it could be the maple leaves or the
Steve:Montreal Canadiens.
Steve:I think is the other team that I know.
Steve:I think there is another Canadian team too, but I can't think of them at the moment.
Steve:I'm going to
Steve:go
Steve:with the Montreal Canadiens.
Steve:Is my guess.
Lovella:You
Lovella:are
Lovella:correct.
Steve:I am.
Lovella:Yeah.
Steve:Nice.
Steve:I thought it was a
Steve:Canadian team.
Lovella:Oh yes.
Steve:Um.

Lovella:Question number two.
Lovella:What
Lovella:number
Lovella:did
Lovella:Wayne
Lovella:Gretzky
Lovella:famously wear?
Steve:Oh, nice
Steve:question.
Steve:Okay,
Steve:this

Steve:Because in Australia we don't have a lot of ice
Steve:around, not a lot of ice
Steve:rinks.
Lovella:No, it
Steve:just smells not a lot of frozen lakes
Steve:anywhere.

Steve:I remember Wayne Gretzky's jersey.
Steve:I remember his number.
Steve:It was
Steve:ninety nine.
Lovella:You
Lovella:are
Steve:correct.
Steve:I am correct.
Steve:Thank you.
Steve:A you know, fun fact: they have
Steve:retired
Steve:number ninety nine from
Steve:NHL.
Steve:So no other players wear ninety nine anymore because he's such
Steve:a
Steve:revered
Steve:player
Steve:that they've you know honored that number
Steve:and
Steve:no one uses it anymore.
Lovella:Love it.
Lovella:Yeah,
Lovella:that's so
Lovella:special.
Steve:Cool.
Steve:All right.
Steve:All right.
Steve:I'm doing well.
Steve:I like this
Steve:round.

Lovella:number three.
Lovella:In
Lovella:what year was the NHL founded?
Lovella:A
Lovella:1914, B
Lovella:1917,
Lovella:C
Lovella:192
Steve:Okay.
Steve:1914,
Steve:1917,
Steve:1923
Steve:and
Steve:25, and 25.
Steve:1925.
Steve:Okay.
Steve:I feel like okay.
Steve:I'm going to rule out 1925 because I didn't hear anything
Steve:last
Steve:year
Steve:about
Steve:the
Steve:hundred
Steve:year.
Lovella:Oh, that's
Steve:smart.
Steve:All right, right.
Steve:And I feel like I probably would have heard that
Steve:if it was 25.
Steve:So I'm going to rule out 25.
Steve:23.
Steve:I'm gonna rule out 1923 for the same reason.
Steve:So I'm gonna go to
Steve:1914
Steve:and 1917.
Steve:I'm gonna pick one of those two.
Steve:I'm
Steve:really not sure.
Steve:It's gonna be a guess.
Steve:So I am going to say 1917 is my answer.
Lovella:You are
Lovella:correct.
Steve:Yes.
Steve:This is
Steve:fair.
Steve:Nice.
Steve:It is fair.

Steve:This is the Soviet Union, and I only know this
Steve:because of the movie, the Disney movie, The Mighty
Steve:Ducks.
Steve:No, not The Mighty
Steve:Ducks.
Steve:No, there's a Disney movie called
Lovella:Miracle on Thirty Fourth
Steve:Street.
Steve:No, that's a Christmas
Steve:movie.

Steve:Let's move to our bonus question and see if you've got a chance to.
Steve:I do not.
Steve:Not even going to
Steve:tie with me.
Steve:I'll give you three points for the bonus one.
Steve:I'll give you,
Steve:especially you, Lavela.
Steve:If you get this right, three points to you.
Steve:All right.
Steve:Okay.
Steve:The way the bonus question works: one
Steve:question,
Steve:both teams can answer.
Steve:First team to buzz in gets to answer first.
Steve:They get it correct.
Steve:They get two points.
Steve:But for us, we can do three points for you, Lavela, because you're so far behind.
Lovella:Oh, let's not hate.
Steve:Two points.
Steve:If you get it correct, you get those two points.
Steve:If you get it incorrect, they go to the other person.
Steve:Okay.
Steve:So
Lovella:lots of
Lovella:stakes.
Lovella:Lots of stakes.
Lovella:Remember, stakes playing
Steve:for the power play
Steve:prize at the end.
Lovella:All right.
Lovella:All right.
Lovella:Are we ready?
Steve:You want to read the question out?
Lovella:Yeah, I got it right here.
Steve:All right, go for it.
Lovella:Bonus tiebreaker question: How long is each
Lovella:regulation
Lovella:period
Lovella:in
Lovella:NHL game?
Steve:Buzz.
Steve:Buzz.
Steve:You want to go?
Steve:I think I got you.
Steve:Got just.
Lovella:You
Steve:can go
Lovella:first.
Steve:I actually don't know this for sure.
Lovella:Yeah, me neither.
Lovella:I'm just taking a guess
Lovella:based
Lovella:off of other
Lovella:like
Lovella:games and
Lovella:stuff
Lovella:and how long.
Steve:Well, how about we both pick a time
Steve:and we'll see
Steve:who gets closest?
Lovella:Um, I think I'm gonna say like
Lovella:thirty
Lovella:minutes.
Steve:Okay.
Steve:Yeah, that sounds
Lovella:twenty
Lovella:five
Lovella:to
Lovella:thirty minutes.
Steve:We'll get to pick one.
Steve:You can't say twenty five to thirty minutes.
Steve:They're not
Steve:ambiguous with their periods.
Steve:Like, oh, we'll do
Steve:twenty-five this one, and then we'll do thirty minutes the next one.
Lovella:I'm gonna just
Lovella:go with thirty.
Steve:You're gonna go thirty minutes?
Steve:Okay.
Steve:I
Steve:actually think it's less than that.
Steve:I think
Steve:it's either fifteen or twenty is my guess.
Steve:Because this is one of those games where they stop the clock.
Lovella:Yeah.
Steve:When there's not playing, like football, like
Steve:the NFL.
Steve:So
Steve:I am going to say it's gonna be fifteen or twenty.
Steve:I'm gonna go with
Steve:fifteen.
Steve:I think it might be fifteen.
Lovella:Let's have a look.
Steve:We're both
Steve:wrong.
Steve:I we're both wrong.
Steve:It's
Steve:twenty minutes.
Steve:Oh, it's twenty minutes.
Steve:Okay.
Steve:Well, I was closer.
Lovella:I said twenty.
Lovella:Oh no, I said
Lovella:thirty.
Steve:You said thirty, and I said fifteen.
Steve:So I was
Steve:five minutes closer.
Steve:So I win.
Steve:Yay!
Steve:I got the power play.
Lovella:Good job, Dad.
Steve:Thank you very much.
Steve:All right, I'm gonna
Steve:inflict my power play move on you next time we're in the car
Steve:together.
Lovella:Uh oh!
Steve:Because we're in the studio right now, but I'm going to make you
Steve:listen to
Steve:it's ice.
Steve:It's ice hockey, so I'm going to make you listen to ten minutes
Steve:of
Steve:Coldplay,
Lovella:bro.
Lovella:Yeah, that was not.
Steve:Get it?
Lovella:That was not.
Steve:Do you get it?
Lovella:No.
Steve:That's not.
Lovella:That's
Lovella:not cool.
Lovella:All right.
Lovella:I guess I have to say, well
