Could I go here? There you go. Oh, you're way over. I'm way over now. That's okay. That's all right. I can move you back the other way.

I'm way over. Yeah, but I can't reach it. I know. This is good. I actually, let's get out of here. Hey, welcome to the show, everybody.

It's the, uh, an ultimate day. No, I hate the Halloween. It's, uh, all Hallows Eve.

It is all Hallows Eve. Yes. I knew it was. Who? Oh. Uh-huh, yeah. A little P came out, no doubt. Are we, uh, are we doing anything for the show tomorrow?

Is there going to be any? Oh, obviously. We do, we do something every year. Right. Every year. Because last big day, you love Halloween. We were great. You tried to support you.

You were into it. And we, uh, we had a great show. I think we just, I don't remember the show. I just remember that. Oh, it was great. I dressed up and no one else did. What? I was wearing clothes.

I was absolutely dressed up. All right. Well, whatever. Go to the archives. Do we have archives? Jack, open the archives. Roll the October 31st show from last year.

We're archiving today. Just replay it, actually. Let's get out of it. Do we have an archivist on a librarian? An archivist? Arborist are done. There you're finished across the street. Are they done?

What an anarchist? Well, there's some things we've got to do. We've got Jamie McClain and I believe coming up, having touched base with him. But I'm sure he's, you know, very dependable. That's what he'll pop in. He'll pop in.

Sen's had a big W last now. I saw that. Yeah, yeah. They blew the doors off St. Lou, 8-1. That Bennington. All likes the fight guy was getting into it last. I'm worried about you. He nearly dumped his coffee all over your,

maybe the lake was too cold today. Whatever you call that thing. Your notebook, your, your binder. Your binder, your portfolio. I want to see the lines. What are you right on that? I was going to bring it up yesterday.

Okay. This is the Pinda report here. This is the, she's interesting for people I'm not able to see shite it's terrible Utah's lines and pairs because I know you've already got that memorized

I have to write it down Flames lines and pairs I've got some backland notes I've got my two bets of the day Have you got your bets in the jack? It's like a muscle And then the Pinder report It's a muscle

You have to use it Keep it Can you name Can you name three members of the HC Of The hockey club Top five I'm not good

Top five Rets top five today Top five HC players. Utah. You know, it's, you know. Amoka. Yeah, caramel venti mocha. He's the goal tender, one of two there.

There's that high score in Dylan. Gunther? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's Gunter. Famously tied into that deal we love. O'L.

It's two. Yeah, it's two. You watched them play last year, even though you weren't in Utah. I know, but they're most of the same guys. You were there. Piled up with Hortichai. You had these torso-sized ticate's going. You might not have remembered anything.

I had to tight shirt on, too. That shirt was too tight as to wear. Anyway. I got 21. Is part of that for just for memory? Like it's obviously, then you have it in front of you and you can see. But I know for me,

I have to either type it out or write it out. Yeah. Oh, totally. And then some of it gets absorbed. You know what? It all comes from me to play by play guy. Like all different colors and stuff. Like when you're doing play-by-play, you want access to information as quick as you can.

So you don't have to hunt through a piece of paper. You can just glance at it. Can you walk us through your top five pen colors, Ryan? Okay. Blue is our standard. Okay. I've got an extra fine black. So if something needs to be small, I want to add a note.

There's not a little room. You can still get in there without it just being a pool of ink. Number three. Red. We're going to like things of note or just flames versus a different organization color-wise. So I can glance an okay. All right. Red and number three.

Number two. You're not doing color. Well, I've done blue, black, red, and a green is my, that's my fourth. Gotcha. But I got two blocks, got the regular black and the extra fine block. Okay. It's still five. I see five pens there.

That's right. So that, there you go. That's, uh, top five. Ryan's top five. Pretty good. More pens than retinos, H.C. players. Yeah. It was close.

That's right. That's right. Uh, well, I guess a few things. Okay. For starters, game day, get your helmet on. Flames in Utah. Can't wait. Um, Clayton Keller.

Yeah, there you go. There you go. You'll be at 20 by the end of the day. It's just, you know, that recall. What about that guy used to play here? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, a couple of them. We're all hot and bothered. Waivers, you got all mad at the GM.

Cole Sprint? No. Close. That was last game. You can't be losing first round is on waivers like this. Well, Darrell wasn't going to play. Oh, but it's a GM's job. Valamaki.

There you go. Alamaki. Although he's nicked up, or is he in spare right now? Sure. He wasn't in their top section. Then they went and added a guy yesterday. in trade. It is.

I could look at your notes. That's right. That's why they're here. Bertuzzo. Bob Bortuzzo. Is Bob? Bob's got a job in the league, probably only because of injuries,

but yeah, he's there. Well, I'm excited now. Ian Cole. I wasn't before. It's a BS lineup of that, eh? Oof, gross. I think we might have a competitive game tonight. That's how BS is.

Competitive or close? Yeah, same thing. Because competitive would mean there's some competing for the cup, but compete for a win. No, I think competitive because I still think. think that I could be wrong because I've not gone, but I would still think that the barn is fairly lively. I think it's going to be absolutely that. And I think the flames, it's kind of had some leaders saying two nights ago, that's not up to our standard. You're okay there by there?

Like a minty. He's not happy with his coffee. He nearly dumped it on your notebook and then just about locked it again. Walk us through what you're dealing with right now. What's happening? Do you ever have like an odd flavor? Like I'm halfway through my cup of Joe and like a minty. Am I going down?

No. Smell burnt toast. You're good. Although I was wondering yesterday you weren't here. I thought maybe you wrote burning ballots or something. Oh, yeah. Busy time. I'm stumping on the campaign trail.

I just got hanging Chad, hanging Chad. Delete it. Out there's stumping on the old campaign trail. Jesus. What a disaster. I can't wait for next week. I can't wait. Don't we have to do something?

Yes. Oh, God. But it'll be just adds to the fun. I guess. Just adds to it. Yeah, man. So we're going to get drunk and talk politics. Yeah.

Worked well at origin the other day. Fast. Yeah, talk some religion. Talk some politics. That's what you want to get into. And you've had a few. But yeah, let's get into it. It's our opening statements today for our good friends.

over at McLeod Law, Peter Klein, Shane King, everybody, Austin, everybody over there, great people. And I'm trying to remember what it was. Somebody had sent me a note that said, that they needed a lawyer. I was like, yeah, just because of your dumb show, the only place I don't have a lawyer on McLeod Law, easy, pizy. Yeah. Yeah, it's not hard.

It's what this whole thing is about. They're great at what they do. We talk, we talk, yeah, it's awesome. Personal injury. whatever the legal issue is, bigger, small, you contact McLeod Law and let them go to work for you. We'll get to our guest at a moment.

He's early. Chopin'clock. Gotten ho. Similarities between the two hockey clubs tonight. Hot starts. Calgary Flames, four and out of start. One, three and one cents. Five and a start. The Utah's three and no start, one, four and two cents. So, all hot.

and bothered. It's early. Everyone needs a win. And then. Old themes, desperate for wins. Sputtering. Reminds me we'll talk about that. Sputtering.

That clinic, you know, quick start, rough finish. Anyway, I don't know what to expect. I would think Wolf goes tonight. That's the alternation. There's nothing that Ardard would suggest he gets two in a row first. And on the other side, they got embarrassed the other night. And a 4-1 lead. We showed it on the show yesterday.

4-1 lead, and then in the final five minutes, gave up three to tie it, and then the overtime, losing. And who they give it up to? The shocks. Shocks. That's what's embarrassing about it. Yeah, first win of the season. Overlakes.

Yeah. So, but maybe now they're, they're out for redemption. Maybe they're, two teams coming off. They're better than that. Their worst losses of the year, I'd argue. Fair enough.

I don't think anyone's going to debate. That's why I think we're a competitive game tonight. It's not here to debate you, Jerry. It's on the sheet. It's on the sheet. You're going to want that true code. He wrote it down. That's right.

Anything else? How about this game? About this match up? I gave you all the top five players. Yeah, you did. Diled in. We're ready to. How do we feel about the uniforms?

Are we all right? Because we did kind of. Eh. It's year ones. They're going to hang on people's walls. And they say, I knew the team in year one. And it's going to be totally different next year. They're not bad.

But, yeah, I don't know that they have to keep everything the same. It's so good. Here's a question for you. Like Seattle, you're like, those are unique. That's awesome. You got something here. But you'll get sick of those too. Because, like, hear me out.

Okay. If the fisherman came back, Captain Highliner, would we like it? That's a retro thing, yeah. Kind of like blasting. When it first came out, we hated it. Like sometimes. Yeah, I know.

Yeah, I just, it's very plain Jane, though, the Utah, HC. Yeah, they're buying themselves a year. I think it's what the Washington Football Club did in the NFL, with the name before that was racist and now the one that says commanders. They did do that one year, didn't they? That's right. And so you sell a bunch of merch and you keep your color scheme or set your color scheme in this instance.

And then you'll make some improvements. and it'll be a little bit better next year. And you'll actually have a team name. By the way, there's not enough maroon and gold. That is a good combo. Saskatoon Raiders. Absolutely. Florida Seminals, no?

I don't care about this. Okay. Big Floridian. All of a sudden, it looks better on the commanders, too, now that they're not terrible. That's true. And a new old. Yeah, yeah. Doesn't own them anymore.

Yeah, they got rid of the creep up the top and they're winning games. Good looking color. Snyder. Yeah. Mr. Snyder. Love that team. Yeah. Yeah.

The cheerleaders are part of my entourage. just here's here's a list call one up and go for a date i've told you guys that's that story where there's a their kids are in the same grade at school or whatever and the dad they're having a play date or at they're at something it's oh hey yeah yeah whatever whatever okay dan good just good to meet you uh that's mr schneider oh oh uh huh uh you sir are a d bag all right legendary d bag yeah legendary d bag and you know what he learned his lesson he took his two billion and well maybe he did learn his lesson could didn't i'd you just say something about franchise values yeah it would be maybe almost double and he only sold what two years ago

it's crazy the franchise values in the NFL because revenues are just the 25 billion dollar a year business it's insane it's like ret said before we started with how they're going inflation exponentially it's because all the nchel clubs are now north of a billion that's the news today from sportico how are we ever going to get a team. It'd be tough. I know what you're going to think. We've got to put a plan into action.

Well, and you're an idea guy, not a plan guy. So what you really need to do is just call noodles because he knows everyone. He rubbed shoulders of billionaires. This is the execution guy. Yes. He's got his tentacles into a lot of them. Oh, his Rolodex. He's probably got five, six.

He's an entrepreneur. He's a enterprise. He's a joint venture capitalist is what that guy is. Okay. You got bad joint. I know and Paul Patterson was S talking me Oh good

We did the thing on Monday there And we had to do a light jog And apparently the cameraman said You're way faster than Warner Oh, too. And I said, Well. Patter wasn't shit talking to the camera guy was.

No, no, I wasn't there. Pattern made a point of texting that to me. And then I said to Patter, well, I'm original parts. You just got a new. That's right. Yeah. Maybe that's the issue.

Yeah. You should be bragging about new parts. Time to go to the insider hotline.

This guy could use some new parts. Yes. Really? No, I mean, I'm fine. Last week I could have used a lot sitting there getting an IV, but I'm better now. I was going to say, I wonder if you were going to be in a hospital bed, like in traction or something, have one of those halos on or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Talking through a little hole in the cast of your face, yeah. I'm all good, I'm all good, yeah. I'm back to normal. It was a long week, and God, you know, you spend three days in Vegas and you don't drink or you don't do anything, you barely leave your room. It's heartbreaking. Like, it's a waste of three days. It's a two-way street.

We're also disappointed in you. Yeah, I mean, the last night I probably could have got up to some nonsense, but I had to fly out early the next day. So I'm like, all right, forget it. So it had already passed me. I was so disappointed. And the other thing, too, I don't know what pisses you off more. Now we're all attached to these things, these phones, right?

I had a suite. They had upgraded me to a suite, which was very nice. I had no cell service inside the suite. What? What they? Are we in the third world? They were zero cell service. And the Wi-Fi was junkie.

And no way. What bothers me now when you're dealing with IT is the person couldn't have been more useless. So I go, well, I don't have Wi-Fi in my room. Well, what room are you in? I'm in 2702. Is that a corner room? Yeah, that's a corner room. Well, the Wi-Fi doesn't work very good there.

I go, well, no, you know, no. That's what I'm telling you. Yeah, that's what I'm calling you for. What would you, well, is there a chance you can switch rooms closer to the elevator? And I go, so the Wi-Fi's in the elevator. Well, no, it's not in the elevator. but it's closer to the center. And I go, okay, so I didn't know.

We're talking. It was like a who's on first conversation. And she goes, okay, what hotel are you staying at? I'm like, isn't this IT for the cosmopolitan? Well, we are IT for the MGM, the cosmopolitan. I go, you can't come and look at my room. No, we're not physically allowed to come and look at the room. It was a gone show.

So, anyways, for three days, people were trying to get a home. hold of me and you couldn't call. I had to go out on my deck to make phone calls. Or the elevator. Yeah. Or the elevator. But it was just. Sorry, guys. I'm on a call here. Flore? It was a gong show. Put it that way. It's a gong show.

And I was very disappointed. Usually the Cosmo. I had my bachelor party there, whatever it was 12 years ago. I had lots of fun. But they've gone downhill then since then. You're not going to get a smite. A statement. This guy. I was going to say thanks to the Cosmo for the upgrade. And we'll see again next.

I don't want no damn. I'm going to upgrade. I would have stayed in a dumpster if I had good cell service and good Wi-Fi. I'm trying to watch hockey games and you're trying to dial in and you can't get it. And it's cutting out. And it was it was nonsense. I was very upset. I think it sets you up with a dumpster and a monitor in one of the parking garages there.

That'd be perfect. That's, believe me, I've stayed in worst places in Vegas and some of my. travels or woken up in worst places put it that way so i'm not worried about the dumpster or any of that type of stuff but i would like some self-service if that's possible yeah maybe that's the way it's designed that they you know you've got like the epstein suite or something where you can signal doesn't come in or out it's okay you you put it's mike jack they put you in the creep yeah the creep It's the gimp for all of that. That's right.

Yeah. Pulp fiction. No, they, I'm sure it's not that, Jamie. I would be running the other way. Exactly. So what's going on? We'll move on.

The, well, you cover the Ottawa senators and, uh, likes to fight guy. Jordan Bennington was back at it again last night. Is that fair to say? Yeah,

I think he, you know what? I think part of it's an act because if you actually watched it. So he popped in there and just stuck his arm in on Brady kind of going after a couple players. And then he goes to the bench. And as he's skating to the bench, he looks down at Allmark. Almark could come out of his crease a little bit. He throws the arms up.

Then he goes and sits at the bench. And he's drinking water. And I swear to God, he's trying not to laugh. He's smiling. And I'm like, because he knows he's being a jackass. And he knows they're losing, I think at the time, it was eight nothing or seven nothing. So they scored one late, you know, on one of the worst giveaways you will ever see in your lifetime. From who?

Ball, uh, Balduke. God, it was the, left-handed shot. I'll look it up. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It was just, it was honest. If you get a chance, look at Adam Goddette's second goal that he scored. He didn't even try.

The guy literally tried to go a D-to-D or forward to D-pass across the front. under the crease and Goddette was standing there and the guy just whiffed on it. It went on to Goddette sticks so he put it in the net. It was one of the worst, like it was a Sunday night, no, a Tuesday night at midnight and give me a rink that you guys are skating at right now in Calgary. Clames community. Darcy Trail at some real West Hills. It's a midnight and the guys had a bottle of wine with dinner with his wife and he shows up

he's skating around and he makes a pass like that. It was nonsense. It's a normal bus fashion right there. That's what it is. Yeah. So anyways, watching that, I mean,

I thought Bennington was kind of just, he got thrown in. Joel Hofer had a really terrible start. And then Bennington, I think allowed like the last three. But it was one of those nights where I think, and they were even talking about the schedule. It sounds like St.

Louis spent two or three nights in Montreal. And that city might have got the best of them. And they just took, They took the train over to Ottawa and just got woodshed last night. It will happen. You know what? Just chalk it up to some team bonding. Yeah.

It's got to get that done early. Short-term pain. Long-term. Yeah, but I mean, think of it, though. You would hope if you are going to play guilty, you play hard. And the attention to detail is more. I mean, we've seen that in our careers where, you know, guilt might have been front and center. And you make sure that the bearing down factor is times 10 because you know, the coach knows,

the GM knows, everybody except for the fan base knows what's going on in that room. And to me, if they were playing guilty, they didn't do a very good job of it last night. Yeah, A1 would suggest they didn't. Now, there's kind of the legendary story from the book that you put out, but how close were you to not getting to a morning skate or a practice? in your years of Tom Fulery. So I can tell this story now that I'm retired and can't get any trouble from anybody, I hope.

But we played in L.A. We had that L.A. Anaheim trip. I wasn't with Calgary at the time. So you can deduce the other five teams that I played for other than Calgary. But we had a late night. And we had to practice in Anaheim at 10 a.m. I think, no, I'm lying. It was in L.A.

And we played that night. And I rarely go out the night before, but I ended up in the Hollywood Hills with some people and a couple of actors and stuff. And all I remember is sitting at this guy's in the Hollywood Hills, sitting in a kitchen stall. So it was kind of, you know, his kitchen had like a booth in it, almost like a diner. Okay. And I was drinking Crown Royal out of the bottle. And it was 5.45 a.m. And our practice was at 10 a.m. morning skate.

We had the early one because I think the home team was practicing at their practice rate. So I was taking a sip of Crown Royal. And the guy I was with goes, we should go. We have practice in four hours or whatever. And I was like, oh, we're fine, we're fine. And the guy's house, it was Suey from, you know, that Swinger show, Swingers. It was his house. It was Vince Vaughn and Michael Favre or whatever.

Yeah, whatever. The guy, we ended up at his house after a late night. And I didn't know him, but we knew the actor Michael Varton, who was in Never Been Kist. And he was a huge hockey fan. And so we were all there. And I remember drinking Crown Royal. And my buddy who was on the team goes, we better get going. I said, yeah, you go, I'll just make it to practice.

So he left and then I somehow made it to practice and I made it through practice. But I remember that afternoon, you wake up and I could still taste whiskey. Like I had whiskey like on my breath. Like it was like not good. And luckily I wasn't starting, but unfortunately 10 minutes into the game, I made an appearance. And that was not good. That was not good because no amount of praying or anything can go, like, please get this out of my system so I can see straight.

But somehow. Did Durek get hurt or? It wasn't in Calgary. It wasn't. I swear. We'll just tell you to get hurt. We won't know. It was in Calgary.

But just tasted. Like, I remember for the rest of my career was like, I will not drink the night. before a game. And I think we ended up, we were down for nothing. I allowed the first shot. The goalie I was backing up, allowed three in the first like seven minutes. Coach is yelling, get in there. You're painting yourself invisible going, just don't even look down in my direction. I get in there and I'm still like kind of tasting it in that. I let in the first shot. And then somehow, I think it's just with all the goodwill that I built up in my life, we, ended up coming back and tying that game 4-4.

So it was in an era where their ties were still available. It was 4-4. That's enough. We can find out now. Yeah. I'm trying to cut to the chase. Maybe it was 4-5-5. I don't know.

It was an ugly one. That's easy enough. You came in relief. I was playing for St. Louis. The moral of the story is that you're a professional and you had to do what you had to do and you got the job done. That's right. I barely got the job done and I swore to myself I would never do it again.

Doesn't matter about barely. If you paint the fence, you paint the fence. You got or done. You either did the job, but you didn't. It's binary noodles. Somehow we managed to get it done. I don't know how. So either way, it was, you don't do those things in when you're in Carolina or whatever.

This happened to, you know, it was. Did Luongo have the stomach flu or? No, no, that wasn't. Remember Dan Sabra? I was talking about that yesterday. Do you remember when Louis had the runs in the playoffs versus Anaheim? Yeah. All I remember, if you can go back, you look at Dave Nonas's face when Danny Sabrin skates

out for overtime. They're playing Danny Sabrin. They pan the luxury box. And Dave Nonas has just soiled himself going, what is going on here? my rock star the captain of my team my rock star is harry done right now on the toilet and and Danny Sabrin's making saves and I don't know what game that was but that might have ended the series I think like it was ugly and Sabrin played for like eight or nine minutes because there was no whistles and I get clap and Perry it was like a shooting gallery like don't ice it don't go

outside changes on the fly we got to keep this guy in that God bless Danny Sabrin because I swear to God he made a bunch of saves. And then out of the bathroom came Louis and out of the tunnel in Anaheim and skated down. But I never, I'll never forget the look on Dave Nonas's face. Like I don't know who I'm sure CBC did the game, but I can't remember who the broadcaster was like, would you look at Dave Nonas, the surprise? Like he's calling down going what, what's going on here? Because it was ugly.

But I was glad they didn't score on Sabrin. That would have been tough. Is that when they use the forklift? to basically bash the door open? Or am I thinking of somebody else? No, that might have been somebody. You might be the guy. You might be the guy to do it.

I've always wanted somebody to write a book about shit stories in professional sports. Like I had to go here or something happened. He shit himself in the huddle or had it run down. Everybody loves a good shit story noodles. Yeah. I mean, I don't have that many. I think that the one thing I do remember was Louie had a, you know, he had a tough lunch or whatever. And that's all it was.

And he had admitted it afterwards was said that couldn't keep it together. I mean, that's tough. I don't know. We've all had this. He famously tweeted just the toilet icon on his Twitter. And I don't know if like Strom Bone one at the time was a sound whether he was outed as Luongo yet or not. But he was, he was a right. I honestly think Nudels, he became popular because he was kind of like, he was always honest.

But I think he was sort of misunderstood. And then he got on Twitter and people like, oh, he's funny. He's doing a lot of stuff. We never got it. Now it'll make sense. When I played with him in 0, whatever that was, 06, I would tell people, he's one of the funniest guys I've ever met. Yeah. Now, Kipper is too.

If you know Mika, like Mika is very dry and sarcastic, right? So the funny thing is I would tell people all the time. Like Luongo's hilarious. And they're like, no, he was very cut and dry, very serious, very quiet, very introverted until you got to know him. And then the Twitter thing happened. Yeah. And he only had at the time early on about 50 followers. And the Strom Bone 1, I remember that was his like screen name on, on his email or something for his fantasy football.

So I saw it come across like his, his brother Leo started following me. And then I saw who Leo was following. And I saw Strongbone 1. So I pressed on it. And I was like his 51st follower. Yeah. And immediately I got a text. from him going, how did you find me?

And I was like, what do you mean? Like, I know your screen name. And he goes, don't tell anybody that's me. And I said, no worries. And then I don't know if you remember, Kevin BXA outed him on Twitter. Classic. And said, that's Roberto Luonga. And it blew up immediately.

And you're right. I think by the end of Roberto's career, he was more popular and more beloved because of his Twitter, because of how he embraced kind of you remember he allowed eight goals in Detroit the one night and he called himself Luongo and the O was like a goal line. Yeah, the G was an eight. Yeah, the G was an eight. That's what it was. Yeah, like it was an eight, right? Like it was funny stuff like that where you would get that from him behind the scenes, but now he was putting it on Twitter. And, you know, to this day, he's very, he's so funny.

Like that, we don't talk all the time, but our interactions are quite, funny and you know i was proud i was happy for them they won a cup and got to see him and and uh i was bugging them i'm like i didn't get the invite to the to the cup party usually my buddies will invite me to the cup party and i got feathers from gregg campbell who's a good friend in mine who's their a gm and i got feathers from louis which i i would have assumed being former teammates of these guys playing for florida i would have been invited to the cup party and i didn't get invited it was maybe it's it's a it's more an indictment on me. I'm rubbing people the wrong way, noodles.

I'm getting crusty or the older I get. That's what it is. That's what it is. Because that was always a big thing. You and you and Luongo. You were like a buddy cop. We were like haul and oats. Yes, we were.

Like we were, you know, I guess I would be John Oates. He'd be there a hall. Because yeah, John Oates is the kind of stubby guy. I would have drawn mustache, play the guitar. Daryl Hall could sing. Or if it was Wham, he would be, you know. He's George Michael, and I don't even know the name. Jesus.

What's the name of the anger? He's brother. What's his name? Andy something or whatever. What is the name of the other guy in Wham? Nobody knows the other guy in Wham ever. Don't Google. You got to keep it that way.

What a great music bingo. trivia. I could probably find it if I sit here and focus because he did have one song that came out. He tried the solo thing. No, you didn't. The Wham guy tried to solo. He's hosted 90s radio in small markets forever. This is his wheelhouse. Hey, listen, wake me up before you go, go. Those stairs started sitting around, you know. Listen, the guy's living off a residual checks, no problem. But I'm saying he never, like nobody would know his name outside of his inner circle. Anyone texting in that knows it?

Jack, did you see? Andrew Ridgely. That's what it is. Yeah, never heard that. They Googled it. Oh, for sure. They googled it. Yeah.

I may not have, I may not have gotten. Or they're the biggest wham fans of all time, but most likely they Google, yeah. Noodles. You're the biggest wham fan. You still don't know his name. You're just like that other guy. Yeah. Tough news coming out of Edmonton this morning.

Oilers say it's going to be two to three weeks for McDavid. They didn't handle the first game very well as they got But she'll act. Woodshed, as you said, by the blue jackets. Now they have Nashville and Calgary before they return home. But it's not been a great start for them to begin with. They're about 500. But they have not had to have life without McDavid for a long time or very often at all.

What do you see there? Is this dry saddle step up? Is it deer in the headlights? How do you expect the Oilers to respond? To be on. honest, maybe I'm wrong. I think this is good for them because if you look at their games and I've watched every one of their games, their top players have played terrible, including Connor McDavid.

And I'm saying relative terms. Connor had the two goals and, you know, there's been nights where he looks, he's had some flashes. But that team right from the drop of the puck this year has looked disinterested. They look like they showed up and expected, hey, we're going back. to the final because we made it there last year. I don't know if it's entitlement, if there's something there.

But to a man, and I'm saying they're top players, Arbitson's been their best player. He's been noticeable every night. And he's hard to play against. He's tenacious. Dry Settles had pockets. Zach Hyman's had, what,

28 shots on goal? He's all around it. But last year, those shots, five hole and stuff were going in. So far he's snake been. and H is still stuck in second gear. Darnell Nurse is stuck in second gear. He's been terrible.

Eckholm and Bouchard as a pairing have not been good. And I would say at Hickholm. It's easy to look at Bouchard, because Bouchard's a casual player. So when he's casual and plays bad, it's even worse because you're like, this guy's not trying or he doesn't care. Ekholm is the guy who kind of stabilizes things.

He's not at the top of his game. And then the goal he's not making saves. So how many, like literally, I've talked about the whole spine of their team. You're not going, geez, Derek Ryan's a problem or Cory Perry. They're actually not. They've actually played decent and they have shown some stuff that they've had some jam. It's the top of their roster and their best players who've not played well. So now last year at the start of the season, I remember the outdoor game against

Abington or I'm sorry, against Calgary. You know, Edmonton showed up and won that game, but they never seen. still dug out after a while after that. And McDavid was hurt through that whole process. So he might as well not been playing. To me, I think this team has to find a better identity away from Connor McDavid. And what I mean by that is, is they can't be as loosey-goosey defensively. If you're going to try and win three, two and see if you can do it.

Their power play has been abysmal. And that's something that is shocking for me with the amount of talent. on it. And you take McDavid off it, they still have talent. They're just going to have to simplify. And that means they don't have to just run and gun and wheel it and go, hey, let's find the open option and take it. You might have to go, hey, one pass shot, jam away for a rebound, play some straight line hockey. But it is a, it's an opportunity for some guys to kind of right the ship. And that starts in goal. And it starts with their three best defensemen. And it starts with the top four players of the roster outside of McDavid,

having some consistency to the game. So it's a lazy narrative to go, oh, no, McDavid, they got no chance. They're a good team without McDavid, but they're going to start playing like it because they haven't. Yeah. Interesting, I thought in Philly, that was their first win of the year. It was a couple of fights.

It was Perry and Stetcher that fought, and that got them, like they just don't seem invested. They're not. And it's one of the things that happens when you have so many guys over 30. there's no young guys that are just horny and excited to be there. Like there's a lot of guys that are saying, we're not going to be measured by what happens in this regular season. Like it's how do I get worked up for 82 dress rehearsals

when we're only going to be measured by our playoffs? Well, you're right. And veteran teams have that type of like, hey, we're not going to get too high, not going to get too low. The problem that I see and we're seeing it throughout the league, and I know we're nine, we're 10 games in, is there's going to be what, two or three bottom feeders? teams will end up at the bottom.

But I see everyone pushing up the teams that, like Chicago's better on paper this year. They're going to get more points than they did last year just by playing the games. San Jose, yes, San Jose who's got two in a row. They probably should have had better results earlier in the season. But San Jose, I think, is going to be a bottom feeder. Everybody else has gotten better or is trying to get better. So what you're doing is you're going to shrink that middle into who has a better season, who surprises, because Seattle looks decent.

Now, Utah looks good. And, you know, Vancouver will get it together. Like, you know, Calgary's right there. Hey, Calgary's in a retool situation. Well, they got some young guys that are pushing. They got a goalie that looks really good. And some veteran guys that have started really nicely and Hubert O and Cadre and guys like that. So all of a sudden, the teams that we thought were going to be long gone,

what if they hang around and start taking points off for you? Because that's what I'm seeing. The Atlantic Division, take a look at that alone. You know, Montreal got rinsed last night. They might have a drop off. Everybody else in that division is trying to make the playoffs legitimately and have it has a chance. Buffalo's come back on now recently.

So to me, Edmonton, if you're 500 or you get to above 500 or just hang around there, that's fine as a veteran team. but now you've got to do it without 97 for two to three weeks. So that's easier said than done. And, you know, let's see you prove it. Yes, you've got Drysettle who at times arguably could be the second best player on the planet when he's really invested in digging in and playing with some piss and vinegar.

You know, I think you're right. You know, the team is older. They're veteran, but they know how to play. So maybe it's time for them to play. But I look at the standings. You can't really mess around and go, hey, You know what, we'll get it together because last year we won 16 in a row, so we can do that again this year.

That's a, you know, that's a, to me, that's a loser's narrative. I don't like that. And I'm not sure if you would have something similar, but Red has told the story in Buffalo when playoffs, Hachick, not there, not playing. And just the, the holy crap that goes through the dressing room. It's one thing for a team to lose their best player, but to lose one of the best players in the world,

world such a difference maker and you guys handled it okay but not to rehash the story again what's what's the one off and it was different too because it was playoffs and we didn't suspect to miss them for long and we were playing well going into it you know what as a team i don't think is this when we choked a reporter out afterwards with a question what he was doing we went to the rake noodles in toronto for morning skate game them a stemming finals and i'm like where's the goalie the reason we're here okay the only guy like if you look at the 99 buffalo sabers lineup there's one player you know and it's hashing yeah and the jim visitelli is like he went back to buffalo oh my god yeah oh okay yeah i you know what the only thing i

think of recent memory and, you know, taking a slight shot at myself is when Kipper and Roman were hurt that year in 2004. Like if you look at it, our team and then I broke my sternum, but I was still playing. But the guys knew and the guys know, when the guys know it's not Mika back there. Like people, you play differently. You react differently. And the guys knew I was battling. So I felt, I felt that there was no words spoken, certainly not in front of me. Maybe at the back of a plane or there might have been a conversations outside of me not being around. It's like, guys, like, we can't lose a lot of ground here with Mika out for six weeks. So to a man, I felt the team play different. We gave up less chances. Guys blocked shots.

there was an attention to detail that I noticed and it helped my game so that I could actually play and play every night where I wasn't used to that. And to me, we, we, it almost kind of banded us together going, hey, we, you know, we, you can't give up three breakways and expect me to stop them. You could with Mika. And so we played differently. So on a personal level, I've noticed it a few times in my career when the guy I was backing up, had injuries. I noticed it in St. Louis when Fiersey got hurt, I had to go in for a 10-game stretch,

and the team just played differently. It wasn't a, I didn't take it as a slight. It's just on my best thing. It's a positive in regards to your personality. And that's part of it. If you were a dick, trust me, we weren't going to do it. Well, but the thing is too is the team realizes where your strengths are and where your weaknesses are. So it's, it's, you know, for McDavid's strength is driving play. It's scaring the opponent in certain situations. On the power play, it's freewheeling. So Nashville's going to go at them tomorrow.

You've got to find a different way. You got to, you know, dry saddle is a driver. I think R&H can be a driver, but he hasn't been driving. Like he's been more of a passenger. And to me, with guys like that, when you're, you've got to find a way to push through. So same thing. I've seen these scenarios throughout the history of time. Sometimes it galvanizes a group or maybe gets you out of a funk.

Honestly, I think the best comp is when we've seen Crosby miss large swaths. And it's always like, oh my gosh, look at Afghani Malcolon's points per game when Crosby's gone. Like how is he better without him? But it's a challenge to Leandro Cytle. And honestly, the game against Nashville, I think it'll be a great watch because those are two very desperate teams. You always are trying to prove it's more than just McDavid. and, you know, an 0-15 start for Nashville, they're not out of that hole yet.

That should be fun. Yeah, I think it'll be a good game. But, you know, there's lots of, it's funny, there's lots of games you circle even early on. And you're going, geez, I like watching that. I was in Utah the other day. I like that team. I think that team's really fast.

Team tonight here. Yeah. Yeah, that's they, you know, I think that'll be a good game tonight. Like, you know, Calgary, you don't want to continue. You get such a nice start. You don't want to take the shine off of it. So you've got to really push. And with Utah, I don't know, I heard you guys before I came on.

Like, it's like I'm the Washington football team, the Utah hockey club. I like Utah's jerseys. I do. Color scheme is nice. I like the color scheme. I just like that they're a hockey club. You know, is the Yeti going to change? Is that going to move the needle?

Oh, I'm going to get a tattoo. The Yetting is jacked about the deal. I am so mad at the Washington commanders because I like the Washington Football Club because I, I, I, I liked. It was almost like a giant middle fingers like, like, okay, you don't like what we've been called for our whole existence. So we're just going to be called nothing. And we're going to be called the football team. And to me, that's, and they were good. I'd like their jerseys, I liked everything.

The commanders, I hate that name. I'm sorry, I hate that name. And to me, what is going to happen, it's going to be the Utah Yeti, and I would prefer the Utah Hockey Club. Final one for me in Utah tonight, Michael Backlton will play game number 1,000 of his career. Did you overlap at all? Or would he had been in the minors when you were around? I feel like you might have been. Michael was around when I was.

You're coaching. Yeah. With Darrell and my first year out and stuff, drafted. The coolest thing that I've seen is watching him become an amazing leader, a husband, a father, all of these things like where I remember this, you know, I remember this kid, this 18 year old, 19 year old kid. and now when I see him it's like, okay, now I'm old because that's an old NHL player and he's like a class guy and just like Michael Backlin does it right. And there was a time early in his career, I wasn't sure if he was going to, if the light was going to go on and he was going to achieve what we all have seen the last, whatever it is,

13 years because he's been that amazing. And the best part about it is he's a, he's a. better human. Like he's unbelievable guy. Like I always liked them and stuff, but just hearing stories and how he conducts himself, it probably doesn't hurt playing with Jerome McGinnell and Mark Giordano and leaders in that room, Red, and guys like that, like to me, that have helped, you know, shape their fabric. And, you know, they've carried on that legacy. And I think Michael's done a really good job carrying on a, you know, a tough legacy, big shoes to fill when it comes to geo and Iggy. You know, those are those are quality of humans.

and Michael's really carried that on. What's up for the week? We see you're at home. Home today. I fly to New York late tomorrow night because I've got the Rangers Friday. All right. I want you to make up for Vegas.

You go to New York. You have yourself a time. Please do. I should. Shouldn't I? I think you should. Go it to yourself. Yo, it's us.

And the last time I was in there, I sat with Lenny Kravitz. He was just sitting there by himself. He was hanging out. And then you came. Like, that's Lenny Kravitz. You're hungry. Why would you creep, Lenny? If you want to, if he wants to go hang out and play the jukebox,

he doesn't need some skid goal. Listen, I, he was happy to talk to me. me because I didn't fanboy. It was no wasted you thought Lenny Kravitz wanted to talk to you. That, shame on you. I didn't fanboy him. It did. The thing is he was in the way to the jute box and that's where I wanted

to take over. I plugged a bunch of money in. But are you going to go my way? I got him out of there. I want, I put, I did not put any Lenny Kravitz on. I put that song, you know, Josie's on a vacation. What's that? The Outfield.

The Outfield. field i put that song on he was loving it hey lenny do you think rock and roll is dead i didn't sit and bother him he just happened to be sitting in the same vicinity and i was a creep there by myself too so there you go you know what that's a good lenny was sitting there going i think that's uh is that meek his backup didn't that guy play for the rangers for five games Appreciate you, noodles. Have a great week. Have a good one. That later.

No, no. Right now. Honey, there's frost on the windows. 403-219-4100 online crystal clear Calgary.com. The village is, cool, though. I go back to New York. It's been too long.

Yeah. The first time you go to New York, you do all the touristy stuff. Hey, time square. Look at this. Oh, wow. Look at Central Park. Avoid that like the plague. Then you go back second or third.

I don't need to even see Times Square. If we not go there, you don't go north of whatever. I mean, there's the garment district and then there's the village and Soho. It's cool spots. Lovening. And pizza. When I retire. I'm going to live there one month year.

Does you not retire? Does he call this work? Retire from the, I thought this was a hobby. I knew four of the Utah hockey clubs. You did, yeah? I can't retire yet then. You got that kind of information.

Could I do it from there? Sure. I guess I did it from Buffalo. Maybe NYC. Couldn't have a worst dumpy. How old do the kids got to be before you can just. I was going to say,

you know what? That's the retirement I think you're talking about. Yes. Once the kids are out, then you're, retired. What NCAA hockey programs they have in the New York City area? Get your kid on a full ride there and then you've got a great excuse getting apartments.

There's loss. Cornell. J. expensive. Full rides, probably. Everyone gets rides and then you find out, yeah, it's 12% of, yeah. That guy got a ride.

7% of tuition. We'll get to the Pitta Report. Checked in with the Calgary Flames. You did? They're in Utah. Oh, they're, okay. They got back to you. They're in there.

They were having a morning skate. Just looking for impressions of the rink. It's, uh, sounds like it's better than the Molot Arena. No question. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I take umbrage with this comment. Whose, whose, whose opinion is that? And what's the clarification?

Why is it better? I enjoyed my time at the Mule. You certainly did. It's a hundred times better. Uh, great setup in the, the locker rooms, atmosphere should be great. And here's a tip. Here's, here's a lock.

They even, uh, shut up. Look at that. Oh, there's the one end with the abbreviated seats. I suppose. That's a big jumbo. Yeah. Yeah. So again, not ideal.

They played in. What do they say? 11th. Who cares? Look. Unimpeded view 11. I think probably 13 14. Yeah.

Yeah. So history tonight. Backland's one. thousand and the Calgary Flames play in Salt Lake City for the first time for the national hockey league I never thought it would happen used to be the farm team that's where they called up Theo Flurry from Utah 89 and Paul Cruz there you go Paul Cruz too and the guy that runs that hotel in Vegas oh yeah yeah what's your buddy yeah exactly CTE yeah it happens you can name more Utah Grizzlies

and you can't HCs It's impressive. It is. Square. If you run a restaurant, you're too busy for this ad. You're thinking about how to get more orders flowing, new locations opening. You need more customers and keep them coming back. Really, you're already thinking about Square because Square Restaurant Tech helps more than 400,000

restaurants do all of those things and more. So when you're thinking about your restaurant, think bigger and think Square. Maximize sales by making it easy to process orders. Maybe it's in-house with a kiosk or a mobile POS for table-s, orders and online ordering for takeout and delivery. That's, you know, Square. Go to squareup.com to see why Square is big in restaurants. I'm going to get Square to sell some of my top five merchandise. Imagine if you went to a, to a restaurant now, it's like, uh, paying by card.

Yeah. Okay. I'll go get the, uh, the machine. They come back with one of those things where they put the card in the paper on top. Rick, Rock. What are you doing? He doesn't even know what you're talking about. You know what I'm talking about, Jack?

you pay with your credit card and they get the machine and then put the little layers of paper so they they set the card in there and then put the paper on top and then Rick rack. Yes, you know one thing I hate about going to Montana when I pay with the credit card they take your card and then they give you paper and you got to write the tip in. It's way too difficult. Like why can't I just tap? Why can't I just tap?

1600s here. And then and then sometimes if you go to Nashville like you open a a tab, you just give them your card, you don't know if you'll ever see it again. You go back to next day. Yeah, here, just take this one. You got to have a lot of cards in Nashville because you leave them at every bar. You got to have a tab and every bar. You need like that old wallet where you'd open it, just a whole, a whole sleeve of them that would fall down.

I famously tracked down my credit card in Nashville one night. Yeah, I was the day after I tracked it down. And I was like, he's like, yeah, yeah, come to the office with me. And I'm like, I'm really embarrassed. I'm sorry. He's like, buddy, do you know how often this happens? Yeah. And he literally sifted through what looks like six decks of cards of all the, what colors is it?

Yeah. What color is it? Yeah. No, no, that's it. It took 20 minutes to find the card. There was that many idiots. It's a little unnerving, though, because you had your card over, then they just turn and walk away. Yeah.

See you later. Okay. I'll just go sit back down. Hi. You'll bring me the drinks and maybe the card later. That'll be all right. But they're very good. It's not their first rodeo.

They know what they're doing there. Everything will work out great. US money, though. Does add up quick. Yeah. I think the dollar's falling, too. Is it? It's not better.

great run. Well, wait till next week. Yeah. I wish it was this week. Dicey for everyone involved. I guess so. Let's do the pencil. I just hope everyone's armed enough.

Make sure everyone's well armed. They're right. They should be. Yeah, it's true. Village Honda, located in the Northwest Auto Mall online at village honda.com. They have the, the new stretch lease.

I think it's till like the end of the month. I'm sure you could probably sweet talk, Anthony. You can hustle. More flexibility, more payment options. Explore Honda's new 28-month stretch lease. It's available at Village Honda, applicable to the new CRV, HRV, and civic vehicles offer ends soon.

Stretch. I saw Anthony in a social media kind of post. Looked like he was doing kind of a fancy kind of a Halloween thing. You know where they're all dressed up and then they were like the masks. Ooh, one of those fancy parties. That's right. careful very fancy nice wide shut

yeah Ryan Pinda Ryan Pinda Ryan Pindo that's Piner 4 Well it's Calgary Flames Game Day Dino and there it is Game number 1,000 for Michael

Backland An incredible achievement for as a guy Noodles alluded to There was many years we wondered How it would go And what he kind of a role He would carve out in this league And perhaps another

So expect a lot of Backland On the broadcast tonight and again come Friday when they return home. And of course, then the club will honor him in front of the sea of red. That'll be Friday night. Lots of backland content. He's just muttering and mom. Let's take a cheap shot.

Let's take a show back on. Lots on Flames Nation.ca. If you are interested in it, you can head to the website and find a ton of articles on the captain set to play game number 1,000. Here's one cool note, Joey Kenward. He becomes the third alumni of the Rockets hit 1,000. Within the last two weeks, joining Luke Shen and Tyler Myers. Wow.

Okay, it gets even cooler, though. Hang on. So here's Justin Bourne. It's not what? Sorry, cool. Justin Bourne. His old man's Bobby Bourne. It's asking Blaine, right?

Come on, no. Fun fact, same Billet family from Colonna. Shen, Backland, Shea Weber. And Shea Weber, not 1,000, but the Hall of Fame. Barry and Ingrid, Hall of Fame Builders. And it gets better. also turns out Tyler Myers as well.

That's the greatest billed family of all time. Right. Three players with a thousand games in a hall of the hammer. That's impressive. I wonder if they're getting any kickbacks. What were their names again? Let's go back to that first one. Ingrid.

Ingrid. What's in Ingrid's muffets? Banana bread, Barry. What's in Ingrid's pie? These guys launched for a thousand game careers. Ryan. Let's take a look at the Utah's.

we're going to take a shot at him. Michael, just wait until we're done. I'll say the nice things, then you can take a cheap shot. Let's move to the Utes here. You know what? Okay, stay on back. Stand back. Is today the day you want to do it, Dave, this 1,000th game? All right, I'll shut up.

So here it is. 999 games thus far, 202 goals, 334 assists, 536 points. So barely over half point a game. A plus 63 is quite impressive over that run. When you think about the caliber. It's a stupid dad. Calib of the teams he was on that great. 461 PIMs, 36 game winning goals.

Seven coaches he played for. A lot of coaches. Seven? I actually think there's eight too. So I think there's a mistake. Pike said seven. Huska, Daryl, Jeff Ward, Peters, Gulletson, Hartley, Keenan, and Brett.

Yeah. So that would be eight of the 19. Five of the nine GMs in franchise history. Nine. Can you name the five gems? Did he played for? Yeah. Darrow.

The guy from Tampa Bay that beat us at all. Feaster. Interim guy from Feaster. Treliving. Turling, Burke. Yeah. Conra. It's,

he's actually, top five. Been around for a lot of, a lot of the franchise's history. Like, when you think about what he was done? Name the top five GMs that Michael Backman has played for in Codd. He was incredibly injury plague.

and inconsistent early on. In the last five seasons, plus the first nine games of this season, he's missed two games. Durable. Total. In the last nine seasons plus the first nine games.

He's missed eight games. So in nearly a decade, eight games missed. That was the thing that might have been the longest shot of it all. Not to become a player, not to do this or that or achieve that, that this guy who is so injury playing

at a tough time staying healthy, into his mid-20s would become one of the most durable players over a decade. I remember Boone just taking runs at him for a bad pinky. Right. Had a broken this. I think he broke his hand. He was hurt all the time. There was a stretch of red,

abdominal stuff, bleaks, broken hand the year he was supposed to center Ginnlett camp. It was a run of bad luck that's been followed by an incredible run of good health and durability. Like a lot of times, I think for players, usually they move on and they get with a fresh franchise. But it just,

you get to that point where, okay, you were a first round pick. Well, it's the Sam Bennett spot. It's out the window. Yeah. It was out there for a while. It was out there for quite a while, right? Well, we started working about 10 years ago together, and that was the point where it was like, he's going to out of here or he's going to figure it out.

And I remember us having epic debates in the old old studio because he was that polarizing of a guy, and the pedigree in the draft stock was very high, and the results weren't there yet. Yeah, and one of the keys to that is making sure you don't play too many playoff games. So that's a big part of... There's the shot. Is that in there? He would have played it on his notepad. How do you playoff games?

I didn't get playoff games. I can find that for you. It's 42. 42? Weird how I know that, eh? Kind of. Is that the thing, shot you were going to take at him?

You elected not to? That's my shot. That's nice that you wouldn't do that today on this 1,000. Red, how many play games did you play? More than 42. Oh, okay. All right. I don't know why.

He's... I'm telling you to be a captain here, maybe that's the thing. More shots. That was a geo shot too. Yeah, it's a lot of shots here. I'm glad you held back. Ryan back to you. What did I say?

Nothing. Just trotting out numbers. We know you love numbers. Yeah, trying to support. He's earned Salky votes in seven of the last eight seasons. And he is trailing only Jerome McGinla in games played for the Calgary Flames. Jerome's at 1219. Gio he passed last year

was at 949 Robin Regere 826 Al McKinness 803 Theo Fleury 791 Their playoff teams Geos were much less It really is I don't Yeah

Oh can we not have some fun Wow Sure All right Sure Yeah What's the feather in the cap For you for where he was

And where he's gotten to I don't think It's a feather in the cap. I think it's a, it's a thousand games. He's done them all here, and he's a captain of a franchise. He's been through the thick of the, and for better or for worse, the fact that he's played for five GMs and eight coaches

in that amount of time, that's not, yeah, like that's BS. If you're a player, that's not what you're hoping for, right? I'm bugging you about the playoffs. Is it backlins fault or is it the GMs and coaches

and all the other shit that's going along with it? It's the perseverance for sure. Yeah. Because there was some rough, there was the injuries, the lack of production, the everything that he took in the media. And he signed multiple contracts. There was opportunities for him to leave or to not want to stay. But he stuck around. And like you say, he, we talk about it how many times over the last few years.

You go on Backland's line. You play better. You perform better. Backland in a way has made some guys some money. He's been the fixer. Right? You just put him there. Yeah, you're going to, defensive.

against the other team's top lines, but it's not as though the offense disappears. There's a lot of guys that really flourish with with back. Backland, FroLeak and Kachuk was one of the best lines in the NHL for like, come on. He graduated Japan and Japanie as well. Chuck ProLeak, a lot of good guys. A lot of guys made money playing next to him. And tonight,

1,001 Friday, he'll be honored. Pretty cool. Also, as as noodles alluded to, the work in the communities above and beyond. You won the King Clancy a few years ago for, you know, that. And that's certainly a lot of people in Calgary understand that. The city means a lot to him. It's not just a place where he does his job.

He lives here. He's raising his family here. Deep roots. Not sure who the next captain will be. But like from, from Iggy to Gio to him, it's the community because Giordano did a ton in the community. Backland does now.

He's paving the way, showing what it means to be a captain. And I'll say this. They had no captain that one year. It was a shit show. That was the year that the room fell apart. I don't, I'm not here to say,

He's the greatest captain here or that. But I'll tell you what, it's a group that's come to the rank and work since you got that. And I think Kaska comes in his coach at the same time. He deserves a lot of credit as well. But this is not a group that looks divided like it did in the last year under Darrell. I don't think, well, whatever. Let's move on. That's me not saying anything.

The Utah's. You know what you do? You say, Ryan, back to you. Back to you, Ryan. Yeah. There they are. Keller, Kuhly, and Gunther, their top line. Mchelli, Hayton, and Schmaltz, Kraus, Bugstad, Kerfoot.

It's a good young hockey. club, albeit maybe not a lot of world beaters yet in there. The blue line looks weak because they're missing some pretty important parts. They added Mikhail Surgachev in trade out of Tampa for J.J. Moser. Michael Kesselring has been thrust into the top line duties, but he's questionable for tonight. Ian Cole, Lambert, Maverick Lamaroo, and watch this one. Vadaslav, Koliath, Chonuk, and Robert Pertuzzo. They're missing John Marino, who they added in trade from the Devils and Sean Dersie. Jersey, who was very good on the power play for them last year,

Valamaki also in the mix there. We'll see if Mata makes his debut tonight or not. It'll be a tight turn if he did. They added them and trade yesterday for a third rounder. There's the trade. It's a third rounder that's actually the Rangers going to Detroit. And only Mata, the guy that was tied to the flames of the Jankowski and Seelof draft.

Kind of, yeah. Because it was in that neighborhood. Yeah, never really tied. We tied it. Well, because you're like, you could have had this guy, but he never really got above that sort of dependable four, five, six. It was kind of like Brandon Goerley was attached to the Calgary Flames. Noah Dobson.

That was the pick that they gave up for Oly Okanen. Yeah, yeah, Dobson for Hamony. Yeah. Oof, there's a few of those. And we'll see if Matta makes his debut tonight. NHL, well, hang on. So great start for Utah, right? A lot of enthusiasm, playing for a real owner and a real rink with real fans.

They get real meals on the road. They actually pay their bills. Sure, yeah. Wow, we're into the first world. Is that kind of died off a little? Because it kind of looked like, oh, it's. Oh, you mean this one three, one slide that they're on? I mean, it's early, or whatever it is.

I got money on them to make the playoffs, but it's, it's been a reality check of sorts here since the, and the injuries on the blue under big part of. Those Scooby-Doo masks were always good. Never knew what was under there. Yeah. Is it giving you some inspiration for tomorrow? Was that Halloween or did you have Scooby-Doo mask parties?

Or what are you talking about? A lot of key parties. I don't know who's out of it. This is like the... I'll go upstairs, but I... Give me that. I'd like to take a look underneath that just to make sure.

This mask is so good. I have no idea. Why is we're naked? We're in the thing on the set again. I don't know. That's right. You've got a tattoo. I've had too many Scooby snacks.

It's happening to everyone. Valuations from Sportico drop today. Here's Frank. Sarah Valley, Frank Baum, all 32 franchises now worth over a billion dollars for the first time ever. These are estimates. Again, Sportico is not the NHL.

The NHL does not say, hey, here's what we think you're worth, but this is what Sportico does. They estimate revenue, strength of brand, and there's all 32. It's an impressive list number one, Toronto. They check in at a gaudy 3.7

billion nearly. Guaranteed they get more. Yeah, I think they probably want to there actually. If you were sure. Rogers took over MLSC. So the valuation of the rink, the raptors, the Leafs, and I probably some other. This is only interesting to you.

Okay. Back to you naming the Utah. You see, top five elsewhere would see New York, Montreal, Chicago, and L.A. are in the mix there. That's six, but you're five here. Flames estimated, by the way, at 1.5. which is a lot of money. We should have bought them.

100 million we could have had a team. Yeah. Back when you had. That would have been a good investment for us. We talked about it. It was close. Yeah. Yeah.

We definitely pursued it. Went down that road. NDAs and OCDs and. Yeah. LCD. LSD? OCD. CET.

MDMA. Starting. worry about my head. McDavid is worried about his foot. Here's the time frame. Two to three weeks is what's expected. This was the first tweet about it from Elliott Freebie. It's gotten a little more specific sense. Positive spin.

Good news. It's not good news if you're an oil fan. Come on. Yeah, it's not worst case scenario, but it certainly isn't best. There was some thought yesterday floating around. It only a game or two. So it's kind of middle ground week to week, not day to day, but also not month to month. And it will be an interesting watch to see if they rally

around this or circle the bowl. a lot of guys not playing to what they should be at this point, including their goal tender, and that makes life tough. Seven something save percentage. The Oilers. This is the Oilers. Matt Renpe fought last night.

Calgary, boy, let's take a look. Dylan McElrath. We don't want Cam Fowler. Here we go. This is going to be. We're talking and warm up. They fought before in the American League. A real good tilt there, and here they go.

Center Rice. 6-9-255 is what the tape says on Rempay. written. Macarath hanging in there. I don't think he's got long arms. He has incredibly long arms. He doesn't use. That's the Jay Rosal feedback

on a weekly basis. He does not play defense while. He's happy to trade and he probably doesn't need to. Well, this is what Rampi we're talking about? Yeah. I'm glad that somebody gets cut up real good as you see him out of the box.

He's leaking on the cheek and they eventually would send him back to the room for repairs. I'm glad that somebody that knows how to fight and did fight is reaffirming that something odd about a guy being that big not i was texting rosy last night because i sent him the fight and jroso obviously did a bit of this in his career maybe he's just a guy that's huge and we'll say yes to everyone but he's never going to be the best fighter yeah he's technically yeah how do you take shots when you're

that huge you should just be able to hold a guy off and land what you want on your terms don't fight guys that big i guess well he's yeah he's got what 30 pounds and four inches on mackerelath imagine if i have 20 i played dion Because again, the mark of a real man, freakishly long arms. There you go. Get out of here. It is the Devils and the Canucks tonight, which means one thing. It's a huge party.

There's the meme of Luke and Jack having all the fun and Quinn having to watch from, what's the name of that burger place and SpongeBob Square Pants? Yeah. Is that Scrabbit Shacks? It's not the crabby. Is it Squidwads house? That's his name. I don't know that sure well enough.

It's a crabby patty. What is it, Jack? Jack, get us in this. This is where we know. I don't. I know it's the crabby patty. I don't know what's the restaurant called. That's Mr.

Crabs. It's not the crabby. Some of the comments must. The foam and the shave. As soon as it comes in, Jack, you break into the program and let us know. Yeah, that's right. I got an Oliver Shillington update for you.

It's not been a positive start to the year as, well, he's going to be playing forward tonight for the average. Oh. He's a good skater. He's a great skater. He's always been a great skater. And so just to recap the situation, and his time of knee

and the Calgary Flames are right by his side, he spurned them to take less money. He's played two games all year and is now suiting up and forward because they're so banged up in the forward ranks with injuries. Drew Ann out. Ross Colton had to the injury list. Landiscag and a Chuskin missing. Others as well. Our pets

heads are falling off. Not been great in Colorado. You want, it to work if you're Oliver, but God, you would have been on the ice every single game this year on a third pair of Braden Pahall if you stayed here, bud. That's the Jake Bean hole. That was your job. You said no, they went and put Jake Bean there. He made the decision. I want to be supportive, but it just. It didn't make sense to me at the time, and it's making less sense now because I thought at least he'd get a regular shift there. He hasn't. Two games.

ESPN and TNT have the broadcast rights in the states. One of them is a great product and the other's got far too much messy and far too much saban this clip explains it all i just could you have i'm way too much guy and i how can i be this boring guy put together and it'll make a good show right wrong get this messie is like just kill me please come in suban's like does this guy have a personality do you lose it and trade does anyone in the control room have a hammer please come in here and hit me with it that's the show it's hard to watch yeah it's not great. TNT's awesome. You got Biz and you got Wayne.

Oh, these things is. Well, that's the thing about biz. It's, oh, Biz works. He's tailed a guy. Not everybody can read the room. Be likable and funny and have interesting stories. Something like that. Relate

with people. As one man once said a few days ago, hey, you were banging one of the most famous celebrities on earth. Do you have a single story that would entertain us today? Any stories? Why are you so boring? You were with Madonna. Is there any?

Any anecdotes? Okay. You didn't have any fun. She was a nice person. Well, we've got to get pucks deep. And as you see here, that's the responsibility of the defenseman. Okay. Cut him another half mail.

That was awesome. Thanks, Matt. Yeah. Any underarm products you want to hawk or anything right now? Oh, geez. Games tonight, let's take a peek. We saw the Hughes Bowl. There's some other ones.

Tampa, Colorado. Usually fun. Both teams, a bit of a different group this year. And what else did we got? Kings, Vegas is interesting. Twitter. Followed on Twitter. They're always taking shots at each other, aren't they?

Is that right? Kings and Twitter. Yes, that's right. The Kings and the Golden Knights were a huge rivalry. Yeah. Big time. Big time, big time. Last night, Wranglers, Big W, they won eight in a row.

You said you were going. You said you were going. I had one kid that was so poorly behaved. I literally had to carry him into timeout. He passed out melting down, woke up two hours later. I can't reward this kid. All I needed was one day a good behavior.

Won't you put you to bed at night? I did again, yeah. Why do you have a two hour and after? He was doing. He's timing himself out, meltdown. You know. It's a complete disregard for authority and a lack of respect for his elders.

I don't know where he gets it. Clark Bishop on one of the great heaters here. This is my gold. Game winner, game winner, game winner. Last five and a half minutes, last 90 seconds, last two and a half minutes. Clark Bishop, checkmate. Do you did there?

That's terrible. First place in the American League. Boo! Shot at me, and that's the kind of garbage you run. Devin Cooley, sensational again, and two goals for Matt Coronado. Stick that in your... That's right.

Call it. Get me out of here, Coronado. Get me back up. Anthony Mathis didn't do that. Anthony Mathis scored back two goals. Did we have any... Speaking of Twitter, any Coroner? agent Twitter updates.

Yeah, I just got it right here. Man, Jimmy Man! Update! Actually, we got a new thing for the PIN report. This is again by request, because Rets been asking for more things in the PIN report. And Dean, we finally got you on side. Big Hippo will not be held down any longer.

Oh, hey. No. Not at all. What was the video that you were saying? Did you see that video, the hippo? What was it doing? I was swimming. It was, got into the water, and then was chasing a boat.

Let's see if we found it. I got a few submissions. This has got to be it, right? Here we go. He's like, all right. You know what? I'm done. Look at it.

He's like, you think I'm fat. I'm built for this. I am good in water. So that's got to be the video. That's not the video. That's not it. It's not a good one.

It's not exactly. Let's go to the next hippo chasing boat video. The one that I... Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. That man is...

He knows exactly what speed of hippo moves at. And that hippo is moving, boys. Don't run out of gas. Oh, don't ever run out of gas. Go, go, cool, cool. Yeah. Those bastards at Evan Rood are going to have a lawsuit on their hands if this thing cuts out. It's great.

Just the motor falls off the back of the boat. Let me show you something. Let me tell you something. That's it. Was that it or was there another one? No, it was not it. Okay, we got to go to the next one. All right.

I think there's more. There's still more. Oh, hi, jinks. I'm Tinder, boy. I don't know. I don't see any hippos here. It must be safe, guys. It's very ominous, though. It feels like. Dark, suns setting.

I think something's going to happen. I mean, a hippo's not going to sneak up on you because they're so big. They're so big. How can they sneak up on you? Oh, God. Look at that. What is this? A little romantic time.

Oh. Doing some skinny dead one. No, look at that guy's going under. I can account for the other three. Where'd underwater boy go? Oh, get out there. Double! Look at them.

They got this move. Move. It's kind of like watching your dog in shallow water. It's like bounce off the bottom. Like it's not like, they got big club feet. How are they swimming? Yeah. It's not like they have web feet or anything.

No, but they're very impressive in the water. You know what, surprising cardio. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. And as. It's still good. Amazing. As we found out yesterday, big hippo is trying to suppress all this as well.

Actually quite rapid on land. 30 miles an hour, we're told. They can tell you. Now watch this. Two bull hippos. Oh, boy. These are men. It must have been a hot babe running around or something.

Look at that thing. Jeez. And these fellows don't get along. Like, well, I saw Lucy first. Well, I've known Lucy for a while. Well, Lucy and I, we swim together. Dinner is over. Now, watch, here's a defense move they get when they get really upset.

They take a dump and they whirl their tail and it just flings shit everywhere. Watch. Oh, my God. Watch the tree. when they get going here. It's like shaking. Ellis. Like a war. It's like a demolition derby.

Yes. Two Honda civics. Bigger. There it is. He's doing the poo swing your tail thing. Oh. Just spread it everywhere. Fertilizer.

Yes. It's my territory. Deal with it. Okay. Did you hear Jack laugh? It's really good. Hey, Jack. Got you there?

Hey, got you with the poo? Whip Windmill. Is that what he got you? Oh, good. Yeah. It's a market territory. Yeah. Those are all the things you've got to learn when you're growing up as baby hippo. Yeah. Like Moodang, the celebrity hippo baby.

Which I don't understand. He's very popular. Do you know Moodang? He's so popular, all the crooks in the crypto industry are starting like coins based on his likeness, which obviously he's-lid- This little hippo resists the zookeeper's touch and bites down on the zookeeper's knee. Mu-Dang is a playful little hippo who loves to bounce around. It often keeps its mouth open. and it must have a lot of fun every day before it can fall asleep.

Even when it is asleep, it still twitches its limbs. It really enjoys playing with water and takes a bath every morning. Its slippery body makes it prone to slipping. For its safety, the zookeeper sometimes restricts its movements, which makes Moudang very angry, and it turns its back on the zookeeper. At this point, the zookeeper will give its rear a light pat. Moodang, annoyed by the disturbance, will jump up. up in anger and later bite the zookeeper's knee in secret. After releasing its frustration,

Moudang will then willingly approach the zookeeper again. Its cuteness and liveliness have earned it a large following, and this superstar even has its own blush endorsement. The name Moudang actually translates to elastic pork. You like this stretchy little hippo? Listen, I prefer it to snakes and spiders. Okay. I think so we got. I really do. That's the end of hippo hijinks, Jack.

Game number of thousands. So if you're out tonight, pour yourself a good Swedish beer, like Guinness, for example, or harp or something. So let's see what. That's for the picture. That's your Wednesday version, Dean.

You know what? You're putting a lot of pressure on a poor Jack and RJ for your BS. Right? They're doing production for a production for a lot. That's exactly why they've been hired. Goodness. Pressure of my BS. And you think of the things that may be,

I asked, from a show perspective that we could build graphics for. How long do you think that's up of the line? Things that we may want to be on top. Hijinks. I said to RJ at about nine something this morning. I want it to look very janky and it has to have something hippo-y. That was it. He's delivered.

That's actually, it's not as janky as it probably should be. because that actually owns. I think in his real, he's like, he's like, look at this. The resolution's too low. Ha ha ha ha.

Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Like outside of our little clicky, flames. I think there's a lot of interest about the player being available on trade, which I don't think the flames are there yet. But yeah, the stare, I wonder. Is the staring on viral? Because I like it. A lot of people asking about Rasmus was the player, but not the stare. I want more questions about the stare. Well, he's going to have to keep scoring. Yeah, well, good. Go ahead and you don't really get the stare. Yeah. When the other team scores

Oh, come on now. What are we doing for, are you all prepped? Have you got all the goodies purchased? I got an idiot kid that thinks he's going to have a Halloween party. Now, what the hell does that me? That means lookout. Really? Can we have a Halloween party at our house?

Bobbing for apples? What do we do? Yeah. What are you talking about? I think many of us fondly recall our first Halloween parties. We were coming of age. Oh, Jesus. Always right to have a tough day.

He is off a little today. How long was your plunged to 10 minutes? You need some. Did you freeze? Did you freeze? Hell of the floor some core. Sorry. This table's.

terrible. Well, don't, who leans on the table? You got a chair, you can just set up. This chair is terrible. You know what? This setup is the, you're right. You know what? Tear it down.

Back to the, uh, back to Buffalo. The piano go center and medicine hat. Dude, that was a good set of you. Pizza and everything. Big marble. Back to Buffalo. Uh, thoughts, I guess as we wrap on the game tonight. Hopefully a better effort and result.

Yes. They played three really, really good teams in a row here that they aren't able to stack up with in the same neighborhood skill-wise when you think about Vegas and Winnipeg and Carolina tonight it's a team that's missing a couple of defensemen and that is in their neighborhood and I think both the hockey club and the flames coming off efforts they wish were a little bit better I think we get a good game it will be a good game is mantha like what are you going to do if you don't get some improvement from some of your guys yeah that's that's message that's kind of the inner there's oh can they win get a couple points and then it's all right

if you are just going to sleepwalk through another 60 minutes what happens hey tony coronado had two yet last night yeah let's get her going here and i'm sure that they uh the coaches on both sides will have made it very clear that their most recent effort was not going to be sufficient moving forward just a guess i think huska gets mad what would What would that look like? A huska tantrum. No, a tantrum. I feel like he's Mr. Composure,

but he'd make you feel bad. You've disappointed him. Yeah. He's got some principal vibes. I don't think so. I think so. Some digging on that. Or is it just silent?

Oh, the silent. You're out. What the coach? Not up to our standard. Talk to Savvy or Trent Cole. Talk to me. How's that least power play going? That's right.

I don't know. It's finally good. Not sure. Nice pile of clay to work with. Not sure how that's going. Are we dressing up? It's Halloween. I hate it.

It's Halloween. What are you doing Halloween? You get dressed up in a fancy outfit. Act like a dumbass. Yep. Jack, what about you? I kind of already did the dress-up thing. Do I got to do it again? Now, I saw some pictures that Jack had sent in of some of his pals and what they were wearing.

Did I get one of you? Oh, that I don't know your costume is. a nice nacho Libre at the show at the party. That was awesome. You dressed up already? You had one on the weekend? Yeah, we did the Halloween parties already because you can't do it after Halloween. Now that you say nacho Libre

is sorry to interrupt this hard hitting stuff. I wonder if that mask is still in that suit bag. Go get it and put it on tomorrow. Top shelf. Yeah, I would be helpful. I thought you were going to say still in that truck that you sold. Yeah, it was a different

12 years ago. That's the pig mask. Yeah. Maybe one of the Scooby-Doo masks tomorrow for the show. Yeah. Got a closet full of all those. Well, I mean, Jack, maybe you can, you know, ring the scotch out of that costume you had and bring her on in.

All right. Are we all doing it? Like, I feel like. 100%. Oh, it's Halloween. Talking about it. No, it's, you know, we'll come in and, and then they'll come in. Yeah.

I'm always here first. I'll be here. He's because you live a block away. It's true. You're the only one that doesn't move to travel. Congrats. I only got a break. I was always first in my studio.

The one with the camera that comes in it? Until I, until some asshat moved back. It's good to have that thing going back to Buffalo. It's just better for everybody. Okay. That's yeah. That's your top five.

Oh, we already did it. We're talking about top five of Utah. We're boycotting top five. I'm not doing it at a talk. You can't make me do top five. It's fine. The headphones. Host.
