Oh, no, we're not. Now we have audio. Sorry. Can we hear each other? Hello. It's important. I mean, you and I probably could hear each other in the room, but. I got you.

But outside in the universe, if they can't hear us, what will they ever do without our? Well, there's just so much knowledge and expertise we've been dripping on a daily basis here. It hates them to miss out. Inspiration, all that sort of thing. Hey, welcome to the show. It is a Wednesday, the 11th, O.J. June and as always, a presentation of Bet365, the best greatest, most favoriteest. Yeah.

And yes, we are. As we do this thing live and you put some dough down in the YouTube chat. We'll take said dough. And get it to the.

centers of Calgary so they can use it with great purpose and then we'll take your comment and put it on this live program. It seems fair. Provided it's live. Tough to do. Although people have been known to go up to you in public and just throw money at you. Yeah, we're not going to encourage more of that, but it's been known to happen. Is there a way? There's like a paper pay per play kind of that maybe we had set up on flames nation.ca something where you can. Venmos or something. Yeah, you can. Leave your video. Jack, you got Venmo? It's a Venmo.

It's an American thing, I think. God, damn. Yeah, I think so. Something like that. But for now, I guess, just because I don't have the answers. Let's just keep it to the chat. Yeah, that's a great idea. Go into the YouTube and do it that way.

For the U.S. So our friend, Rhett, is somewhere in New York. Western. The state of New York. Yeah. With technical difficulties. I believe him. Yeah.

That is conceivable and that doesn't sound like any foul play there. Operator error or? Oh, operator error for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. He's a ludite. That's what we call it.

Oh, my goodness. That's, it does seem harsh. It does seem harsh. Luckily, though. Non-luddites on the program? Yeah, we have someone else who does not have, is not numb with technical issues. Technologically savvy. That's right.

We go to the Crystal Wall. Plumbing and Heating Insider Hotline. Crystal Clear choice for all residential plumbing, heating, and cooling services. It's not too late. It's still worth it. So worth it. 10% off a new air conditioner. Receive one year of free preventative maintenance in the process.

They're the best. They're crystal water's plumbing and heating. Your crystal clear choice for home comfort. I passed one of their cube vans, one of their service trucks. You know what? Very safe. Okay. Driver 10 and 2.

Oh, good. Right at the speed limit. Limit. Yep. Didn't have a phone or a dart going. Good. Just focused right on the road. I'm like,

that's what I expect. It's your my people. That's right. That's right. We check in with TSNHockey insider and personality and host and analyst, Jamie McClennon. The technically. So let me ask you a question. The other guy doesn't know how to turn a computer on or plug in the internet.

Is that basically what it is? I mean, he can do those things, but not with perfect efficiency. And then once he's done those things, he runs into other hurdles. And then he doesn't get his email on his phone. phone or he's out having wings like bacon and eggs and couldn't be bothered and it's just yeah yeah jeez i can't technical technological another round place yeah you just never know he is you know what he is you remember at super bowl was it super bowl or the world series he's chevy guy technology and stuff that's what he is Rick willy is the guy's name is that what his name was yeah Rick will be technology and stuff

Yeah, exactly. That's him. Yeah, he had that, I watched that over and over again. He had that sweaty set of keys to that new Chevy avalanche for Madison, Madison Baumgartner. Wasn't it Madison Baumgartner? I think Aaron Andrews was there too. Like, what was I not Aaron Andrews?

And they were just horrified at. This guy was going to collapse right in front of him. He was sweating profusely. And he was trying to get it out. this truck was cutting edge. Technology and stuff. Technology and stuff. He needed a drink of water.

He had some dry mouth. He had pits. The pit stains were going. Those keys were dripping. It was gross. And to be fair, everyone's like, wow, what a mistake by Chevy letting this dealer from Des Moines, Iowa hand out the keys.

They've gotten like a thousand fold on their marketing dollar. We're still talking about it today. 2025. Noodles knows the guy by name. Yes. They basically sent Chris Farley from Tommy Bowler. And that's what it was. Hey, you can grab a butcher and a steak out of a cow's ass.

You're like, what? What is going on? But that's what it was. And you're right. Like it was, they made millions in marketing. Yes. By accident. By saying, but you know what?

Maybe it wasn't by accident. They were like, we're going to, we've got a guy here that we know is going to bumble away and become an instant phenom, an internet phenomenon. That's our wet. Yeah. That's Brett. That's right. Exactly. So.

What was his name? Rick Wildy. We have our Rick Wilby. Looks like he's connected the dots here. Yes. Bring him in. Just need a sec. Oh, he's going to square up in boxes.

Noodles were through three games in the cup final. And I didn't, I didn't dive in, but I was on the internet yesterday. Just look at a clips and different things. And I see on TSN Radio, Overdrive, Hayes, crushes the games. the game three effort for McDavid and Drysidal. Is that an accurate assessment, at least of Hasey's take? I mean, you know what it is. They're always the headlines you get radioed, right?

Like the headlines, like I've had to tune them up a few times where, you know, you're like, I didn't say that. And there's no context to it. But yes, I would say, in fairness, that was their worst game since the L.A. series, right? Like as a group and McDavid and Drysidal dry saddle, dry saddle zero shot attempts, which is rare. That's why. And McDavid had two. And McDavid got ran out of the building physically.

Like Florida was all over him. I thought Florida did a great job. And Eckblatt instead of shying off on him and letting him into the zone, he's like, the hell with it. If I can get a chunk of him, I'm going to take a chunk of him. So I thought to a man, it just, Edmonton was awful. and Florida was great. So it was kind of a combination of both.

And, you know, the only thing that can fix that in a small, you know, maybe a small amount of time on a night like that is your goaltender. He has to steal one. And he didn't. Obviously, Skinner, I thought Skinner was no good either. Like that first goal, he's doing the Mike Smith breaststroke.

I don't know what was going on there. He lost side of the puck and just decided to push out and tried pushing side to side to get as much depth as he could out of the net. And at one point, I think his body was facing the wrong way. Like you're like, Marchand's like, okay, I'll just shoot us in the net. It might as well.

But there were four Oilers standing around, including Darnell Nurse, who's six foot four and decides he doesn't want to hit anybody. So you know, I thought to a man, they were awful, but you're led by your top players and your top players were awful in that game.

And it happens. Whether they lose six one or two one, they're chasing the series. at 2-1 in Florida looked looked really good. I thought maybe the, like, look, what happened in game three doesn't really have a lot to do with game four. I don't think we're going to see the same kind of shenanigans.

We're not going to see the same kind of efforts. But the biggest takeaway from game three might be, there's a chance Connor's not healthy now. Like you did go down the tunnel. If he's got bad ribs or something like that, I mean, that is a huge, that would be the biggest thing you could take away from game three. Yeah, because they're not healthy anyways.

R&Hs was a game time decision. You're missing Hyman. like now you're starting to see where the effects of, you know, a long playoff run in a couple of years back to back type of thing. I would argue both sides. You know, I don't think Reinhart. Ryan Art scores last game. I don't think he's at his A game.

Right. But, you know, it's, that's the beauty or non-beauty of playing this much hockey as you put yourself in harm's way. And, you know, I agree. I don't know if he went down the tunnel for equipment or if he went down to, to get you're right. We've heard both, right? Well, so we'll see in game four is kind of my point,

but nothing else really matters, but if he hurts, that'll carry over there's Rick Wildy. There he is, Shelly. And he's got, oh, technology and stuff.

Garrette's popcorn. It's so good. I was, I was basically smuggling crack yesterday. Stuff is the best popcorn going. It is the best popcorn going. Every time I fly through Chicago, I get two giant bags,

one for myself, and then one for the kids. And I will distribute it. And my nanny takes them home as well. But it's the best popcorn. There's two shops there. There's garrets. And then the other one is the...

Clarks. Clarks. Yeah, not some Clarks. The best. Now it's not cheap. They're not giving it away. It's like 30 bucks a bag, U.S. Double the price.

I'm paying. Yeah. So is that to Buffalo, though, or to Calgary. You got to go to Chicago. You're not, you know, they're not freeze drying it and mailing it to you. It's worth the trip. Chicago's a wonderful city if you don't mind getting stabbed.

It's real good that way. So you get some popcorn, get a stabbing out of the way, and then you're on to your next destination. It's real good. Good for you. And you're now working your camera and you've got a wireless mic, or I don't know what you've got going there, handheld. Wow.

You know what? I'm so committed to the craft noodles. I won't give up on it until I get the job done. It's just like. That's him. Yeah. I love it. I love it.

So where are you guys at? like obviously Florida holds the cards, but I mean, Evanton could, Evanton has a game tomorrow. We've got a tie series head and hold. Should it be tied or should be Florida be up three nothing or like what? No, I don't. If you look at the high danger chances in the first two games,

Edmonton significant, it was 49, sorry, 45 to 29, high danger chances the first two games. Edmonton, I thought, was the better team as far as great. The difference was in game two is the glaring mistakes. They gave up 14 high danger chances, three breakways. Now, Reinhardt doesn't get a shot on goal on that one. But I even went a step further. Have you, I can't remember.

And I asked my buddy analytics guy, Mike Kelly from Sport Logic, I said, has Stuart Skinner stopped a breakway this playoff? because I is Sagan against Dallas it was Marchand twice couple against L.A. early couple against L.A. early.

A couple against L. But then Pickard came in and made some breakway saves. That's the difference though. Like I again, I'm not laying this all at Stewart's feet. But you need a massive save when it's when the team is hemorrhaging.

So the Oilers give up a 1-0-0. lead one minute in skinnerd's doing the breaststroke nurses out to lunch they're all just watching it happen okay emminton gets a power play they get a i think there's a five on three a bit of a five on three involved too i can't remember yeah i think so big gold blocker save right the blocker saved the right pad save on henrique like there's bobrowski put any cold water on emminton getting their game going he didn't game two i thought it was awesome game two as well You talk about it would get no chance.

So yeah, they did. But Bob helped him in that thing. At 3-2, the Oilers were up 3-2 after Dry Sottle scored that power play goal. Arvetson had an unbelievable chance. Perry had an unbelievable chance. Bob keeps it at 3-2. Next thing you know, within two shots, it's 4-3. And yes, they take it to overtime, all of that type of stuff.

Perry scores late. But ultimately, that game, Edmonton can distance themselves and make that a four or five two game in the first period if it wasn't for Bob. Like I think Bob, even though in the first two games, they gave up what it was, nine goals each or whatever it was respectedfully, Robosky was fantastic because Edmonton was rolling. They were generating a lot of good looks. The problem was, is they're glaring airs.

The glaring airs aren't, hey, you know, a missed assignment and a guy gets in alone from the goal line, kind of a clear lane to the net. It's like here, have a breakway from the far blue line. Have a potential two on O as Bennett's and Lusterinen as, you know, I don't know what the hell, 92 was there. Pod Colson was, you know, seeing stars. I don't know what he was doing. But like you look at it,

Edmonton, if they can clear up their glaring airs, that's going to help them. The other thing, too, and I wanted you guys to weigh in on it. John Klingberg, I thought, was fantastic against Dallas. He's been awful against Florida. Yeah, they've exposed him somehow. Well, speed. Like his decision making, he's smart,

but he's not making his plays fast enough. And Florida's floor check is forcing, you can blame the ref all you want. He didn't have to skate over to the ref and run into him. He could have moved that puck a lot quicker or a little chip into the neutral zone to relieve pressure. And I know the Oilers want their deed of move pucks and make decisions, but at sometimes when you feel like the pressure is on,

chip it into the, the neutral zone and live to fight another day. Klingberg and Nurse have been atrocious as far as moving pucks. Yeah, I think Klingberg's been on for five of eight, even strength goals or something like that. I'd be shocked if they didn't put stature in tomorrow. Sounds like to be fair. Like he didn't start, if I'm correct, first two games of the LA series. He's healthy. And he didn't look good a lot of the regular season. He looked like straight shit in Toronto so much that they put him on Roboda Island. He was on the scrap heap at league minimum. Like, we had to acknowledge that what we saw for two series with, you know, Dallas and Vegas,

like that was as good as ever going to get. And of course it's unsustainable. Like the guy's 32 and has been brutal for three years. Yeah, he's healthier, but like it wasn't going to last just like their bottom six scoring, which was never there all year and suddenly was there for two rounds, wasn't going to last either. I hope you're right, Pinder, because you're really going all in on the Euler suck right now. No, they're good, but their bottom six has been completely outclassed by Florida. and their goal-tending, we always knew Florida had the edge. Just pause yourself for a second because I'd hate to argue on the Oilers' behalf, but you're completely out to lunch.

Noodles just talked about. We talked about it less than a week ago. The Oilers were out playing Florida. And for you to say that their third and fourth line have been brutal isn't true. They had a shitty game. Like you're in your... Maybe they're pretty heavily. The top two lines have not.

Yeah, I think they haven't got enough from Pod Colson, from Brown, from Henleek. Those guys have been outplayed by the Marshan, Lundell, Lister Reinen, the fourth line ran show you at last game for Florida. Last game, yes, but you're jumping to one game and saying they were terrible. So don't, like, I'm with you.

I think you've heard my rants. I agree, Rhett. It's a good point. Whether they lost 2-1 or 6-1, I think what we're looking at is the sum of the parts, though. And the way they lost, I'm sitting in Toronto.

They lost to Florida in seven games. But two of them, they absolutely got run out of their own building and booed off the ice. If that was an advantage, I don't think the fans would boo them at that point in the Stanley Cup final. But they were awful the other night. So what they need to do is check their ego. And what I mean by that is, Evander Kane is an unbelievable disruptor. when he's the disruptor not being disrupted.

And that's, I think to a man the other night, they came unraveled. Florida was precision, was unbelievable, at a little agitation and then take a punch. Or, hey, we're going to do this. Like they executed their game plan to a T. And Ebenton bit when they didn't have their A game. Because a lot of times if Ebenton has their A game,

they say, you know what? we'll give you the toughness Florida you guys can be tough because Edmonton was tough against Vegas. They were tough against Dallas. Florida's a different animal. So I don't think you try and beat Florida at their own game. What you do is drag Florida to go, we're going to play our game. You want to dink around? Put us on the power

play. We'll see how that works out. You want to dink around? Like, and they do have the toughness to stand up for themselves. McDavid's, like he doesn't need a chapero. Like he'll take hits and give hits. Same thing with dry saddle. You don't need to show, in the Stanley Cup finals, you don't need to show people how tough you are.

And I thought, you know, Evander Kane, like getting kicked out of the game, it was just the refs going, this guy's going to do something stupid. We're going to save him a suspension. But really, we're going to save this guy a suspension or something because he is going to do something stupid. So I think Edmonton, you're right, Rhett. The first two games, it's a coin flip. But Edmonton actually outchanced them in both games.

last game it's the sum of the parts they were so awful you're looking and going Florida's got the upper hand here Florida's a better team Florida and rightfully so because they won the cup last year they beat Edmonton and now they're up to one in the series with home ice and an opportunity to go up three one. Edmonton needs a massive response tomorrow massive so who does it benefit I'm trying to think if I'm playing whether I want to come off the loss and have a couple days in between or if I want to jump right back into it. I can't decide which team.

I got to think that neither team wants to sit around and do nothing for two days. It doesn't really matter. But is there one team that might benefit more? And not just with injuries. Yeah, I think that's what I'm having to practice. They're happy to, we've got to kill some time here. Like, Florida would want to play the next day.

They're rolling. They're feeling great. Yeah, I think you look at though, Florida, I don't know if I read this correctly. Correct me if I'm wrong. Florida didn't practice. in the two days that they got back to Florida. When was a travel day?

The second day was an optional. So they had sparsely, you know, guys on the ice. It was almost like Maurice said to him, your next assignment is the game Monday night. Do what you need to do to be ready. Because they were Edmonton practiced and then traveled all that type of stuff. I think, you know, the time would probably, be benefit Florida and it might hurt

Edmonton because like when you lose that badly you're talking about for three days now. That's exactly. I'm just thinking you're sitting in the hotel room. If you had won the game, what's your mindset as opposed to? There's more stress for Edmonton going into game four than Florida. Yes. For many reasons. But one of them being you can't go down 3.1 and you've got to sit with that

stew on it. I can't decide. I'm just trying to imagine myself. I'm like, would I want that extra time? just to get my mindset to get right on my approach to game four or is it a stress thing? I don't think it's going to be a huge deal either way, but I'm just curious if you. I think it's slightly the advantages to Florida because they're coming off a win. So they can go, okay, let's enjoy a day off. Let's ramp it back up and do exactly what we did on Monday. Where Edmonton, as you know, and the media travels and that, these guys' phones are blowing

up and and they're hearing all of us talk about how they stunk and hey Florida could be a dynasty now going to three cup finals win back to back like that type of stuff like I wouldn't say Evanton was reading their press clips but they look pretty damn good after game one and after steamrolling Vegas and steamrolling Dallas and everything kind of seemed to come together and hey they beat they beat Florida looks like they're unstoppable all of a sudden Florida goes we're going to check into the series here now too. And now they're, I wouldn't say Evanton's in one, but now they

realize like there's a reason why Florida lost the first two to Toronto and didn't even blink twice. And then they got rolling and pushed it to seven. I think Evanton needs a response. So the response is really going to come from the top.

McDavid and Drysito and then Nuge and all of these guys. But Stuart Skinner, if he plays dodgeball, Doesn't matter who. Would you start him or Pickard? Oh, I think you start Skinner because they're all out to lunch. Like you don't lay that loss at his feet.

But like this is Skinner's opportunity to go, yeah, I had an off night with everybody else. I want the opportunity. Like it's almost like we talked about with Ottinger. You yell at everybody. And then DeBore doesn't put him back in to try and battle with the group. It's you're going to stick with Casey DeSmith. Where I say you go back with Skinner and say you all lost as a group. group now go get us a win as a group because skinner was eight and two in his last 10 i believe so

you know he's played some pretty darn good hockey did any of you remember a team getting shellacked like six one in a stand in the finals and coming back yep who did it evinton was in game what four or five game four in evinton one like eight one or eight three or something whatever they're down three oh so there's context there and they didn't close out the series that's what i'm curious about is do teams come back like we got absolutely snobbled eight one in in colorado in game two of my first trip to the finals and we tried to play hard after that and it wasn't but it's you get to have almost a statement i'm just curious if teams ever come back from a big ask you're saying like this statement like you it broke their will it broke your will a little bit

not even broke your will it was just when you get beat that bad in the Stanley Cup finals it's it's convenient for us to take pot shots at them say you're terrible but it's convenient for them to say well it was one bad game and we're going to be it's the Stanley Cup finals if you can't get fucking focused

for that then what are we talking about right like I just and it can have to do with Skinner and it could have to do with the top guys and it can have to do with injuries but it doesn't matter you're in the Stanley Cup finals and you didn't show up and play that's the worst game in ages like almost why I look at as an outlier

because I'm with you, Red. I think we forget a little bit when we came in here the morning after game one. And it was the Oilers took it to the Panthers. And the Oilers had the speed. And they looked like the better team. And then Florida stepped up. I just, I feel like there's no chance. You had one team play nearly as bad as they could and the other team play nearly as good.

I think those two start to kind of come together a little bit for game four. The thing about last year with that 8-1 Oilers response in game four, is it was in Edmonton. Yeah. There is something, Florida in what, I think it's what, between last year and this year, five games in Florida, they have neutralized McDavid and Dry Sightil. It's the top two centers, man. This is a massive game for Edmonton.

I think the worst news is it's in Florida where they're getting last change and Lundell and Barkov and these guys can go to work on McDavid especially. Yeah. They've done, it's been a master class. Yeah, I agree. It's a great point that last change, uh, the match. that you want. And McDavid, you know, it's not about that can't fight through.

There's just no space. Like there's layers of attack on him. To the point that one forsling, I pointed it out of my media, like Forzling had that one-on-one with him and he poked the puck away. And McDavid looked back and kind of threw his arms up going like, where's my support? Where's my close support where we can have a little two-on-one here? Like I, you know, Florida played them perfectly to a T.

their D were aggressive, their forwards were all over them. I think this is where it's up to knob block. Find a little extra time for, you know, find another shift for McDavid somewhere else farther in the lineup. If you can get a matchup that you could take advantage of. Again, that comes back to special teams, though. We can say all of this. You know, Edmonton's power play, the game before was one for six.

Like you got to score. Like that power play was the most lethal power. play in modern day history two years ago like that power play team should be terrified to give them a power play it's like because it was an automatic goal right now it's not an automatic goal ms hyman there for sure they do but parry's done a good job of covering up but i i look at it r and h is a big key but i also think that the defenseman like bouchard like their decision making has been too lack luster it's casual this casual that. And there's a difference between being able to slow the game down and not be overwhelmed by the moment, the pressure of it, and looking like you're not trying. And Bouchard's always

on that line, right? It's like this guy looks like he, you know, he's out for a Sunday skate and kind of bumbling around. But he's a hell of a player. That being said, he had a great chance last game on the power play. And Bob got the bottom of his glove, like right on it, just a chunk of it. Like I will say, it's a lazy narrative, but Brobowski made the saves he should. And if Skinner, like the expected goals were 3.5 to 289 or something. Like it was a 3-2 game, you know, or 4-3 technically. Like that's what the numbers suggest last game. It wasn't the case.

It was 6-1, right? Like that's, I look at it. And, you know, I didn't love Skinner's game, but I didn't love the Oilers game in front of them. And I think there'll be an adjustment or two, whether it's Stetcher comes in for Klingberg, or if I can't really think of anybody else coming in, Jeff Skinner, maybe for Arvison, you know, something like that. But I, you know, the other thing, too, is Casperi Kappan, a guy who got a real opportunity and stuff, he now looks like the guy who's been put on waivers, too. Yeah, that's part of the issue is what's going to happen moving forward with the guys that we were so impressed with.

for two and a half rounds and now you're kind of going okay are they are they capable or not is there a leadership not issue but need in the oilers dressing room like i'm thinking about like perry would have a strong voice i'm 100% sure like david obviously would i don't know how much dry-sidl gets involved in running the room i think yakom's a big voice so what my question is if i'm the oilers and i'm on that team i'm walking into that room and saying exactly what you said 10 minutes ago quit worrying about being effing tough and win the game. Yeah. We don't need to get caught up with fighting and play our game, initiate, be a pain in the ass. And if they want to react to us, great. If they don't, let them take a penalty and we're going to score and shove it up down their throat. Like, is somebody saying that?

Is Perry have that perspective on it? Or is Perry more of a let's get in their face and get them kind of thing? I'm curious what you think there. I think, you know what's funny is I thought, and this might be just a weird, you just brought up leadership. Is Zach Heiman traveling with them? I would imagine. You gotta. If you're not traveling with the team at this, why not?

Yeah, you have to be surgery related if you're not, right? Yeah. I just, the point being is he's a really respected voice. Like there's guys that don't speak a lot, but when they speak, you're like, I need to hear what this guy has to say. And

I look at him, I think of that video of him saying, you know, on the prime special last year. Guys, I feel it in my heart. We'll be right back here. I think if over, if anything, over these last couple days, they probably had a dinner

and had some guys make some speeches or say their peace and say guys, like this is what we need to do. Because you don't always have to say it right before you're skating out. I think messages can be in small groups. I think messages can be at dinner.

If they're watching, you know, a baseball game, doing whatever they're going to do. these guys aren't on the golf course just killing time. Like you could, I think they're together at their, their respective hotel. My understanding is a lot of times they rent like convention rooms and set up TVs and guys game and they do,

they play cards and they've got food there. And it's kind of like self-contained little bubble for them. I think there's a lot of these conversations, Rhett, that are being said going like, hey, because I, I don't know if you review that game tape, but I would review some of the things

that went on in that game tape. Like I thought, and this is weird, but Kane's high sticking penalty on Marchand, I thought Marchand sold it. I thought... He left it along for sure. The stick was up and he helped it along or whatever. But good on Brad Marchant.

That's a cagey veteran move. I thought there was... You know, Bobrovsky throws himself in the air after Arvinson. Oh, he ran a terrible attack on the goaltenders. Protect the goalies noodles. But in the end, like that's Florida is doing those tiny little things, the 1% things that give you a little competitive edge. And Edmonton just was reacting.

That's the thing. Wallman's going to shoot water over. He's not shooting sulfuric acid in anybody's eyes. It's a little blast of water. And he got five grand for it or whatever. Who was it between the Benches that was pissed off? Bouche. Because the play-by-play guy's going,

it was like you at coyotes blasting that wrestler, Brett the hitman heart. Like, that's a different story. But, you know, the point being, it's actually a great story. It actually is. That guy might not remember it. I remember it like it was yesterday.

I did too, because I was scared. We were at Stampede. You want me to tell this quick story? Yes, you have to. We're at Stampede. It's myself, retro, Robin Regere, and I think Monty might have been there. Yeah. And it was like an early day.

Like we'd started pretty early. And we're at coyotes. And the bar kind of was open. And guys were chasing each other around. And for some reason, back then, you know those pop guns, you know, the soda gun. You press the button. and fire soda out, but there's water. There's also, there's seven up.

Robin had one, and he was spraying water. No, he was spraying like Coke or Sprite at us and, you know, spraying us. Red grabs one, and they're having like a gunfight, and there's all sorts of people there. And Rhett shoots at Robin, and Robin goes like this, and Brett the hitman heart is standing behind him. So this face is there and he's just getting it blasted in the water in the in the face with it wasn't water. I think it was Sprite and he was just staring at Rhett like I was there was no reaction. He was just staring like he didn't put his hands up or anything.

He just took it and Rhett for some reason didn't stop right away. Like it was like I'm going to let this go for three or four seconds, which seemed like the lifetime. And then the death stare from this guy was like, I'm going to. stuff you all in a garbage can just for fun. And it was weird because it was awkward. I think we went over to apologize, but he, I don't know where he was at in his state. I believe had he fallen off the bike and had a stroke and all sorts of, like there were some things that Brett had some health issues, but it was one of the scariest moments of my life. And I didn't even do anything. I was, you know, Seabas, like I was Harry Boyd pointing going, that guy did it. I didn't do it.

but I was guilty by association. Yeah. And he would have stuffed you in the garbage right with me for sure. He was. I was laughing. I mean, I probably shouldn't have been laughing, but it was a very,

very scary moment in my life. I was a little nervous after it dawned on me and my drunken stupor that you're spraying this man and this man is a big man and oh my God, that's the hitman. It's a hitman heart. Ooh. It is like out of a bad,

like an Adam Sandler movie or something. Yes, exactly. Like, oh, a stone cold standing behind that guy, of course. Yeah, oh, you're screwed now. Oh, it's the guy with a nail in his head and happy Gilmore. I'll see you in the parking lot. That's true. That's what it was.

So anyways, I think, getting back to your point, right, I think there are conversations being said as a group. But I, you know, this is a veteran team. It's the oldest team in the league. And Chris Knoblock acknowledged that the other night. He said, I don't think there's a lot that needs to be said to this guy. They are kind of a quiet, kind of reserved, like no-nonsense team type of thing. Can I ask you a question?

It's like, if you don't win the cup, you're not a cup winner. Who on the Oilers has won cups? And yes, they're a veteran team. And does it matter? Yes, Pender was. One guy's won. Do you know what I mean? Is Henrique not one?

Sorry. Perry and Henrique. Yes, but okay, so great. There's two, and that's fine. But for us to say they're veteran, I agree. Does it matter? Like, do you think it matters? Like, was Chris Pronger not a good player until he won a Stanley Cup?

Or was he veteran enough to know? I think a lot of these top players, it's almost like coaching. I'll give an example. Travis Green told us we were in a scrum with Greenie this year. And we're talking about Jake Sanderson. and he said not a lot of coaching there goes this guy auto corrects you know if there's something you can show him a clip and he already knows in his mind like what he needs to do i that's that's my point is you can you can get in there and have a raw raw speech but i think adam henrique

knows he needs to play better i think he knows what he needs to do to for him to have success in his team to have success. In R&H, I don't think you need to yell at him to go move your feet and make a play. Like I think you can show clips and go, hey, you know, there's not much time and space in this particular scenario. So you're going to have to move the puck. Like I think what you're doing is technical stuff. The motivation and the thinking the game, I think a lot of that is self-nowdays. It's self-taught. You can point it out. The guys look as a goal. I'll give you an example. As a goal, when I allowed a goal, I knew right, I knew exactly what I did wrong.

And then I would look up at the Jumbotron and verify going, yes, I'm not a very good goalie. Why did I do that? You know, I would joke. But my point being is you knew, you knew what you, how you screwed up. So me saying, John Klingberg moved the puck faster. He's going to look at the replay and go, God, I need to move the puck faster. Now, the question is, is he going to be able to do that? Yes.

They've got another team that is sitting there studying the tape and going, continue to push on 36, make 25 handle the puck. You know, Skinner, moving side to side, let's get them moving. Like the pre-scouts, we're talking about it. These guys live it. So they're talking about it too. So I think the biggest thing is it's not the motivation to read. It's more about the technical. and can you execute your technical game to a T at a high rate before the other team gets there?

Are we given Florida enough respect? No, but easy for us to say, right? Like, that's the other side is we are to, they were dialed in and great. They could be up three nothing. They haven't trailed in third. Yeah. Like, Ebenson is not out of lead in the third. We're three games in.

And I agree they've been outchanced, but everyone expects Sergey Bobrovsky to save more high dangers than Stuart Skinner. Nobody said this was an even a washout at goal. And they're the dark arts champs rat. Like we, noodles talks about pulling a stick into your face. Evander Kane was out during player announcements when there was five players on each blue line plus a goalie and the lights are down and we're about to do anthems. Everyone's on the bench. Evander Kane is skating.

That's the guy someone has to talk to because you took two minors in the ozone in the first period. You can't beat Florida at that game. Right. I'm better at it. They're the best of the dark arts. Right. You're right.

I do think intimidation comes into, like, intimidation does work in certain scenarios. So I think that's what Kane knows. But the point is, is you've got to be in control of that intimidation so that it works in your favor and not counterproductive. Last game, it hurt him. It hurt the team. It hurt everybody. They couldn't get into a group. The penalties, I mean, the refs should not be the story of the game.

I mean, 11 power plays, the game unraveled for the Oilers, but some of those penalties were tiki-tacky. Like I will say, Cain, you know, Marshan throws a stick up, but his stick still high enough to get click them. You know what I mean? Be in control of your stick. The cross check on Foresling, I think, in front of Kane or whatever, it's one push.

He goes down. You're like, okay, well, like it just, I thought some of the penalties or some of the calls were suspect. but you create your own pathway. If that's the standard that's being called, live within the standard. That's it. Like, you know, it's just simple. If there's one tickey, tacky call, you go, guys, they're calling it this way.

Let's be smart. Let's check where their sticks down. Let's play whistle to whistle because the refs aren't messing around today. That's the way I look at it. But I think there just has to be a better effort. But I don't think if you're knob lock going, Guys don't worry about it. Just try hard our next game, and you'll be fine.

I think there has to be some tactical adjustments here because Florida has had the tactical advantage and they've been able to expose Evanston's weakness. I'm curious to see how it will be called officiating-wise because on one hand, no one was happy with eight first period penalties, whether they're deserved or not. It just doesn't allow either team to get into the five-on-five rhythm or anything. But then at the same time, it was the penalties,

you kind of liking it to florida it's when you're you're in your car i could do 125 130 135 and you pass a foot you fast a radar it's like is he coming to get me no okay so i can do 130 now so that's great it was kind of like florida was okay great this is what we're going to get away with and it was the perfect recipe for the panthers they weren't going to they weren't going to get in penalty trouble they were able to get away with what they wanted to um but i just think it's too on the knows discipline. Like you say, Rhett, it's too obvious what the Oilers need to do. Do not retaliate, suck it up. It was one of those games. Be better. I just think it, not that it's easy to do, but it's the number one thing they have to do. I think a lot of it is kind of being overblown because

so much of that stuff happened after the game was more or less in the books. They didn't call a penalty in the second until the last minute. It was already 4-1. So like this thing was 4-4 for penalties in the first period, almost nothing in the second. At that point, the game's over. Well, the refs had decided we're going to let them play and they'll sort it out. Problem is, is Evanton, the game got away from them because of their poor mistakes, their poor decisions. They were second on every pot. It happens. As much as you can prepare, sometimes you just don't, the mind and the legs aren't there. And to a man, it just wasn't. Now, the thing is, is the mind and the legs have to be there tomorrow night. And there has to be some

executions and desperation. Like that's really what it is. They've got to play a desperate game because I just, you go down 3-1, yeah, they can, you know, you can come, you can win three in a row. But statistically, man, you're in one. Like you can go home and win game five, maybe steal game, like game six, like they did last year.

But it's just, you're not doing it. Like you've got to find a way tomorrow or tomorrow is a critical game, if you ask me. Hyman is with the team down. Good. As we kind of figured. So now are you Alberta bound right away? I am.

I'm flying in tomorrow. See my mom and all that. I'm in honor of my mom. I don't know if you guys seen this. Oh, the peanut butter or marshmallow. My mom makes these unbelievable. I made them for my kids. It is, I will say, there's a few things I'm pretty good at.

It's like following instructions. But I made, I made these. And they are unbelievable. it's butterscotch chips peanut butter butter and then but the thing is you've got to melt it and then let it cool a little bit you freeze the

marshmallow so that they don't melt into your mixture and then you get this glorious glorious whatever I got to get in the camera I took a bite out of it already so it doesn't look it looks like I took it down but it is good

very very good there is something about the color and texture of that that's always been a little A little suspect Yes. Darlene McClennan makes it, I don't know what they're called, but she makes a mean, mean batch of these.

Darle. Is there going to be some of those waiting for you up in Edmonton when you get there? Probably, but I don't tell her, I'm going to tell her today that I'm coming tomorrow.

Right. That way, you know, I like to surprise her, but I also don't want the food sitting out on the counter for a week and a half. So it's like, you know,

I want these fresh, not amazing. I thought your concern was you don't want her going to all that trouble. Your concern is I need it as, fresh as possible. Can't be stale.

Yeah, you get to work, but keep it fresh. It's all about me, guys. I'm not worried about her feelings. You're a good boy. Be careful up there. Thanks, guys. Yeah, we'll see how this all unfolds. You know, by next week, we could have a Cup,

cup champion or be heading into a game seven. What would be? Game seven would be Friday. Right? Yeah, there's some time left, potentially, in this series. A few more off days in there to sort this out. Yeah. Exactly, exactly.

All right, guys. Bye, buddy. Thanks for having me. Jamie McLennan. Crystal Waters, plumbing and heating, your crystal clear choice for home comfort, 403, 219, 4100. Check them out at crystal clear Calgary.com. It's the insider hotline, 10% off of a new air conditioner for a limited time and one year of free preventive maintenance, which you probably won't need anyway. Welcome, Rhett.

Good to see you. Great to be here. I guess just to kind of keep going, I was curious because we obviously, we talked about it yesterday. And all of the, you know, the rough housing and the stuff that took place, nurse gets into a scrap and Frederick breaks his stick and Keynes doing his thing and Walman spray and water. In some ways, that's old, you know, it's old school. You want to, if you're going to lose, you want to take a bite out of them at least, make them think about it. What was your impression as to what the Oilers did? Do you like them trying to send a message or at least show that we're not lying down?

If they did nothing, you'd be like, where is the fight in these guys? Or did they cross into that undisciplined territory a little? Who cares? Who cares if you cross into the undisciplined territory at that point? You might as well show that you're still here and you're still in the battle. So, I mean, I'm not an Oilers fan, but I do think that was the right move on their part. Or some of a chinty and were you reacting to Florida, can you intimidate? Can you?

I don't think it matters to Florida. they don't give a shit what you do. They're very focused on their own game, very focused. And that's what makes them probably better than everyone else. But I liked it. And I'll tell you what, it's way better for the sport. You go softly into the night, terrible. But down here in the States, people are talking about it.

It's rough. It's awesome. It's awesome for the sport. Nobody got hurt. Do it all the time. Rough it up a little bit. I think it was great. I agree with you. I will bring up one thing just to talk about. If you're down at some point in your Florida, is this not, oh my gosh, this is our chance to break our sticks over Conner's kidney? Or am I taking it too far suggesting that? Because that's what happened when Evanston got down. Oh, we're down by four now and it's the third.

Here we go. I don't think they need a red carpet invite for that sort of thing. Right, sure. I guess that's fair. They probably would do it on their own anyway. But yeah, we sort of kicked that around. Like, I guess all the stuff they got the most press really doesn't even matter that much unless someone's hurt for game four. I, in old 304, when we went to the finals, the first loss in every series, we had a big dust. Yeah. It was kind of, we did it on purpose. And we go into that Tampa Bay series.

The league came down and said, you do it again. We're handing out suspensions. And I can honestly remember Brad Richards pushing me. kind of hands in my face and I reached and I grabbed his finger and in my brain I'm like break it bend it backwards and break that thing so that he can't play and the ref i forget who it was was standing there yelling if you at me i'm like he's pushing me in the face i but he was yelling at me if you do anything if you do anything if you do anything and i'm like i still regret not breaking his finger but further to your point

They're going to protect McDavid, Drysettle, and those stars on Edmonton, way more they are in anyone in Florida. I was thinking about, and you had brought it up, and I guess until you're in those battles, you don't think about it. Maybe it's nothing, but maybe you catch Bennett in the mouth and, you know, he gets a big cut inside of his mouth. And now he gets one less hour asleep and he isn't eaten as well. And he's not just little things over a playoff and over a seven-game run can add up.

I just know we would be saying we would be crushing them if they just took it. Agreed. We'd be crushing it. And to be fair, when he went five on five, I think the Florida guys did A-OK in those. I think Darnell nurse is having a tougher time with his face than Jonah Gajovic. And if it's the same, well, one's a fourth liner and the others, you're trying to play 20 minutes a night. Yeah, that was bad timing for Darnel to be out there when Gajavich was out there. Daryl's tough, but Gajovic is one of those top ten scrappers in the league tough.

That's different. And, you know, nurse is playing a lot. A lot. Yeah. It is interesting the, because it does sound like there will be a change with Klingberg and Stetcher going into game four. You'd probably like to have a better option, probably than Klingberg in the first place, but he's been very good.

And now when you go to Stetcher, you'd probably maybe like a better option. And I'm not sure. Great for them, but he's not big. And he's going to get run through the wall. And he's going to take hits and try to make plays. Yeah. But you look at those guys like, like Kappan, like Klingberg, lesser extent, Yanmark. But they were really good in that Vegas series and into the Dallas series.

and LA and Dallas. They outscored their opponent's 21-10 in the first three rounds. And it was kind of a bit of Mirage. They weren't out-chancing them. They just were getting the goals. But they've been caved in by Florida's bottom, guys. Yeah. They're not bad players.

It's just that Florida might have the best third-fourth line in league. Like you got Lundell and Marchand and Lister Ryan and is a third line. We always talk about these cup winning teams right where it's like, you remember the Anaheim one. It was like Sammy Paulson and Travis Mullen and it was Coleman and Barclay-Gidro and Gord with Tampa. Like in these series where there's so. little to pick between two teams. It seems like those super third lines,

they probably get over glorified, but like this feels like one of those. No, they know because the teams that win have those third and fourth line guys contribute, and that's the difference between a lot of times. Yeah, and so my point is I just think it hasn't been close between those two lines. Like, Marchand's got four goals leading the series. He's on third line.

Because other teams are naturally just going to key on those top performers. Yeah. So can you have your supporting cast come through? Which is why they... Well, they have. has had up until this. And I don't even think the first two games. Yes, Marchand scored.

The problem I have with some of that stuff, and you can't, it's hard to argue, but Skinner's got to stop a few. Yeah, but he has not been good enough. And honestly, I, I kind of, we had this chat yesterday. They probably go back to Skinner, but I don't feel like it's downgrade

if you go to Picker to this point. He was great when they called on him. Yeah, but your opinion on the Oilers can't be taken at full of face value in any circumstance whatsoever. You're very good at it. You're subtle, you're dialed in. I'm talking about two oilers, though.

I'm comparing. I know, but you want the shittier oiler in for sure. It's okay. Oh, no, no, no. I'm just saying, why are you arguing? There's a very lovely oiler distaste here from, but I don't know.

Do you see a big drop between Skinner and Pickard? I don't this year. I rode one guy way more after the Four Nations, similar numbers in the playoffs, both had the same number of wins going on the final. I don't see the gap. It's not like going from Boston. It's a Smith.

No, it doesn't feel like it's a huge goal. But I, you know, that's the only point I make it. Right. So if they want to. We weren't arguing with you, but you win that argument. Good job. Yeah. So you're,

you're going back Skinner as well, I'm guessing that. Yes. Okay. I think so. You can, you can short leash him if you want. You probably have to short leash anyone at this point. It's a must win on Thursday.

And you know what? It's like it like always. And this is nothing, you know, wow. Great point. it's the timing of those goals. 56 seconds in, 1-0. He's on his belly outside of the crease.

You could have pulled him right there. And that block your save on the penalty kill from Bobrovsky, that's timing as well. So you get it's 1-0. It's 1-0. 56 seconds in. Perry gets the power play goal to start the second. After that scrum at the end of the first, they somehow pull Wendell out of that, all of that, and give him the penalty. All right, Ebenton gets a power play, 140 in, 2 to 1.

And then a minute and change later, it's Reinhardt, who hasn't scored in about a calendar year, it feels like. And he's a goal scorer. Yeah. But the goal is. Shirtside shelf. Yeah, it's kind of, it's not a great angle. It's maybe through a bit of a, of a screen or whatever. But, man, it's the timing of those goals that just kills you.

You don't have any amount of time to even feel good about it. You don't get through your bench even once to let guys touch the ice and get back into the rhythm and flow of a game. Games one and two are the same. Florida always punches back. Like someone said of the other day, nobody takes a punch like the Panthers. Because they absolutely have looked out class at times. And yet, Edmonton is not how to lead in the third. Florida always, there just doesn't bother us. We'll just find a way, we'll find a goal later.

It's remarkable how well they've responded. Everyone had them dead down two out of Toronto. They weren't worried at all. Did you golf, Pinda? No, it was on Monday. I did golf. So I'm serious today. Yeah, he went flying out of here.

Yeah, which is weird because he's got that book, Red. The book had it on a Tuesday, stupid book. That'll happen. I can't believe the book could do that to you. Outdoor dental. Are you going camping this year? You got your tent. Got your fifth wheel all packed up ready to go.

Get out into the wilderness. You have a few pops, all that fresh air. You're tired. And then you're snoring your face off. The whole campground can hear you. Everyone in the camper pissed off with you. Outdoor dental. You're like, what's the, see that right there?

That's the solea laser. Fancy. And that, that man, went for two 15-minute treatments. That's it. With the solea laser, it tightens the soft palate in the back of your throat. And because that's the,

that's a big part of what does it. That thing back there. It's doing a lot of that. Two, 15-minute treatments, increases the tension. It's non-surgical, pain-free, and you're sleeping better, you get more sleep. People in the campground are mad at you. Warden doesn't swing by wondering what the prerequisites. They laser out some popcorn out of my jibs right now? Would that work?

Probably. Yeah, probably could be. And just in general, for dental implant treatment, just everything that they do with outdoor dental is cutting edge because of the Solea laser. Find out more outdoor dot dental as they They've put away those whips and chains and chisels. They never have them. You won't find them. You can try.

Not there. You can try. They also have the Kirkland Trail mix. That stuff is like crack cocaine as well. That's great. Oh, so good, Dean. You'd love it. Are you seen in Buffalo or at Dr. Jays?

Dr. Chase. Really? You need a little snack on the way out? Mm, good. That's a treat. Mm, doggy. That too. Something like that, yeah.

The Florida offense, Panthers have scored five or more in eight of their last 11 playoff games. Flame scored five or more 11 times. Dinner! They've done it eight times in the playoffs. Jeez. I don't, it's just,

it's so fresh in our memory this beat down. You forget about how close game one, was in game two and all of that. So I'm kind of with you, Retro. You try and not did you care. Okay. So that was, they were real good and they stunk and the refs, all this whole thing. What's it going to be?

I just feel like there's been a little bit too much shown by the Oilers through three rounds. Maybe they do collapse. They're not going quietly. I don't know. There's, like I said, that first, I've only got myself as a reference so I guess I have to use my. But the first time I went to the finals against

Colorado. We kind of hung up in there in game one and we'd just beat Mario with the penguins in the semis. Like we were playing pretty good. Colorado stepped it up and shit pumped us in game two and it wasn't close. And I'm not saying that anyone's throwing in the towel, but it was almost a you're not coming back from that sort of thing. Right? Like when you look back on it at the time you weren't thinking that. But when you look back on it, the second time went to the finals, we hadn't lost at home in Buffalo and in game three against Dallas we came out

and we laid an egg. I think we lost 3-1 or 3-0. It doesn't matter but we didn't have the energy. And again, you're not thinking that at the time, when you look back, it's like I said to know this and you guys are, how do you go into a game three and play flat?

Like it's a Stanley Cup finals. It's something weird about it. I just, I don't know. If they come back and rattle off three wins in a row, I'm like, well, I guess that's a blip on the screen, but I wonder if it's more. How do you show up flat for a game? Yeah, or was it the perfect storm, right?

With all the special teams and the soft goal and difference doesn't make. It's still a doesn't. And I think it should be better. I think we should be right back to another coin toss gaming on Thursday. I hope not. Oh, yeah, the hope is very different. There's a lot of comedians out there. I'm not sure you guys knew that.

There's a lot of funny people in the world. And the amount of people that have asked me if I'm a fan has increased. Oh, I think you're all hilarious. You know what I mean? Hill areas. Well, I think there was a clip from the show, I think. Jack, do you remember how that? This is the worst topic in the world,

but I just have to say it to all the losers out there. Take your fandom, enjoy it. Stop asking everyone else, are you cheered for the Oilers? Because we're not. We're just fucking not. Okay? So don't.

Get your tattoo and F off. I see your truck flags. I know who you're trying to. That's fine. You're cheered for the oil. No! Hate them. Maybe they're trying to include you in on their fun.

I don't like the people. You're idiots. You're cheering for the... No. What fun. Did you see the hippot tank? Did you see the dress up? Everyone I sit with and watches the game.

they like boy those people two hours putting face paint on he's our hero it's one thing to be like a team like there are bills fans that are cuckoo for cocoa puffs but they don't come across like these folk there's some serious issues up there it's in water is it in the water yeah and it's not good for everyone that's cheering for the oilers it's like they have to just blurt it out to any random fhead that walks by them you know you should come up to a game they're really fun no they're not I fucking ate that team. It would be a nightmare. I'd rather my fingernails pulled out with like needle-nosed pliers. Are you kidding me?

I don't know you. I don't want to know you. Why are you talking to me about the Oilers? So are you cheering? So you're cheering for Florida? Yes, very much. Absolutely. Yes. You don't want them to win again, do you? I just want, I'd like a Canadian team to win. This is club sports. This is different than the Olympics.

I'm not sure if you're aware, this is not the Olympics. This is not team Canada. Your second best player is a German. We don't need to go down this road. This is called club sports. so yeah i'm not entirely sure why people would be coming up and asking if you're cheering for the oilers yeah because i already made a statement about you've already gone on record in a way maybe people just it's a little entry to reaching out hey it's been a while maybe i'll just check in with ret some funny folk out there real funny we've had the conversation and we'll get into the pinda report here but because i think he's staying in florida and it'll all be kind of a moot point

but Sam Bennett Rhett is now the betting favorite to win the con smith he has 14 playoff goals 12 of them on the road 14 he's got goals and all the other night he lays out pod coals and he gets under the skin and I mean it was him at the right in the middle of that Frederick broken stick

that led to that melee he scores a huge goal to make it four to one I think it was if all things were equal and Florida had no cap space Florida's leaving the league and Sam has to go sign somewhere to the highest bidder. What would be the contract?

Can't be less than 10 at this point. I'm sorry. And I know you had, it was just on Monday, but another game under all of our belts to watch him and them and the whole thing and he's just becoming

more of a focal point. He's just, he, his odds are better than McDavid to win the con smith. Sam Bennett. And I don't know. Older fans will remember Claude Lemieux. Like here was a guy pretty good in the regular season and a pest and that good player.

But boy, you get to the playoffs and he would lay it on the line. Lay it on the line. He was a playoff guy. That's what it feels like here, that you would be a team. And I do think he's staying in Florida based on what we've been told. But you would just turn the blinders on for 82 games every year. I don't care. score.

50 points, who cares? Sam hasn't scored in 12 games, 15 games. Don't care. Don't care. Just get in, I don't care for a wild card. Shackles are off. You're going to start the playoffs on the road. Great.

Whatever. 10? It might be more. Oh, I think it's the least. Yeah. It's 11. And here's the thing. Like, on July 1, it's the least logical offer that is the highest number.

somebody's going to say shit we'll give you 12 we're swimming in cap space the position the age and what is it what is it the teams but i'm just thinking more about teams Dallas Colorado teams that feel like we're right there yeah and damn it we can't get there and this guy is on the market and is pure balls when it matters he is I would rather pay for that than the other where he's really good the regular season. I hope it continues in the post season, but there's... Wow, it's great that it's Marner and him both up

because what is the thought right? Isn't it perfect? Well, yeah, and again, if, if, if you're Sam, there's no, there's no pain about going to July 1 and seeing what's out there and then going back to Florida anyway. You might earn it a little extra. You're like, look, I appreciate your 775, but it has to be 8 and a half. Okay, fine, we're back because these guys are up to me 10 plus. There have been a lot of players and he's not that guy,

But there's been a lot of players. McGilney strikes me as one. Salmon was one. Contract year, oh, it's going to be a big year. Yeah. Right?

This is something else. Contracts, if he wins the Kahn-Smith, lead the playoffs and the whole thing, well done. Well done. I think if you, to your point,

if there was no cap constraints. Yeah. Just if it was. I don't know that there's less than 25 teams saying, we got to get this guy. Like you, you have to be so deep one, two, three down the middle to be.

like, ah, it just doesn't work here. And you got a lot of romantic hyperbole and stuff when things are going this well for your team. But listening to guys like Keith Yandel and Panthers and that is like, this is a big reason. This guy was one of the, this is where I started a turn for Florida. When he came in, he was here before Kachuk, he was in like, Eckblad was here and Bobras. But this whole culture, room, band of brothers, a lot of this came together when he came in. It's the style of play that Bill Zito's wanted to embrace more than anything. He gave away a 115 point player as one of three parts in a deal to get a rat.

He loves this. He knows this wins in the spring. This is the DNA he's been trying to collect from around the league. If it was anyone but the Oilers, do you think Flames fans would be ferocious? Because this is not a good thing for the flames. They did not get a good return. I brought it up the other day.

I know. I don't really want to get you. You were very upset the other day. we weren't sure if you were hangary or because you knew you had to catch a flight, but it does not look good. The highest pick you've had in franchise history, you then kind of gave away for a handful of magic beans. And he may win a con smith and back-to-back cups.

And now he's set to become a highly, highly paid free agent. Yeah, and these fans and us dumb media in Calgary all recognized that it needed to happen and hold no one accountable for mismanaging Sam Bennett. owners left who else you can hold accountable well you can still talk about the people that made those decisions for sure uh and i think that's probably the biggest takeaway here is like if you're running the flames or you're way up or you got the owners here you're the owner just watch a lot of this series because you're not a uf a way right you can go spend that cap space and i don't think connie's out to lunch on this i agree i think connie knows exactly what's going on

I'm going to play a little something here. Then we'll get to the Pinder report. I saw this this morning. Because there's going to be, whether it goes, you know, five, six, seven games,

whatever, there's going to be a handshake line at some point in the next week or so. And Paul Maurice is going to be involved in one of these teams. But Paul Maurice, win or lose, will he be shaking hands? You go back to last round.

And it was on the ice. He goes up to Rod Brindamore at the end of that. So maybe we shouldn't be in. And I do. I really like Maurice, but I think he has taken some heat over this one. But I don't know if we should be, shaking hands we're not in the battle blah blah blah rod brindam was uh did not go through the handshake

line and then was on the cam and strick podcast andy strickland and uh cam jansansans have a great podcast out in sight law so plus uh here was rod the bod joining them he he spelled it out like 100% hey listen i don't want to get in the line it's about the players and i totally agree with that like i tell it is about the players no shit we're just sitting back there you know we don't I'm not out there blocking shots and getting my head beat in. I get it. So I get his perspective on that. You know, I think about it now.

I got asked about it at our end of the year, presser here, and I'm like, you know what, I should have went in the line because that's what I wanted to do. And it's about just showing respect, right? Like, it is nothing to do with anything, but, you know, we're in it with the players. I don't care what you say. Even though I'm not out there, we invest in it.

I care about these guys. It's just about respect. respect that's it you know what you know I'm a grown man here I'll make my own decision but I I adhere to him because he had won like I felt like you know he they won they get the right to do it but now that I take a step back now that I've had time to think about it that's not going to happen again brought his last year playing Paul was the first year head coach in Carolina I wonder if that wasn't Paul being like,

now a young chap, let me remind you. Roswound tight. You still got the energy. He's got some juice to him. He's got some real juice to him. So I don't know if this Palmary's, no handshake thing's going to take off. I think it's dumb and I think it's overblown.

And the fact that we're still talk about is starting. I said the other day, Peter Marr sent me a clip of the game seven versus Tampa Bay. and for some reason, afterwards on the tubes, there was a game where we beat San Jose. And I'm trying to remember back to the 90s if the coaches were on the ice shaken hands

or if they just shook each other's hands because Darrell, who had just coached San Jose the year before, went and stood at their gate. Yeah, wait for the coaches. Shook their hands as they come off, the players. Yeah. Oh, the players. Okay.

Yeah. there's obviously he knew those guys and there's coach there blah blah blah blah blah blah guys shake hands I think it is about respect the massage therapist doesn't have to go out there and shake hands let's agree yeah and again Paul maris why shaking hands in round one just a reminder to everyone yeah it was a very interesting

twist as soon as the calendar flip from April to May are you going to watch this game tomorrow hell yeah you mean are I going to watch it I might go to the pison's game. I've got some news on that as well. All right. Yes. Well, we were talking about the other day.

You were doing puzzles of wine regions or something where the game was on. Like as high stress. It is. I also kid baseball playoffs, but we'll catch some of it for sure live. That's high stress for Pinder. Youth sports. This guy,

he raises champions, Dean. I'm not sure if you know that. We're here for the championship. chips and we're going to get dialed in. We've been at the batting cages. We're hit grounders. Winners. That's what we're doing here.

We're in the business of lost last night. So down to your last strike, boys. Let's go. You want to sleep in the park or in your beds? That's right. Let's get to the Pender Report. It's presentation of Village Honda. Village.

Your dealership for life. The Honda Ridge Line. Car and Driver Magazine ranked the interior of the Ridge Line tops in its class. for practicality and comfort. The ride is unmatched. You want one? You go to Village Honda. That's where you're going.

Let's go. That's what you're doing. That's where you go. That's what you do. And that's how you do it. It's time for the Pinder. Rindindind. Signing in Flamesland yesterday.

As mutant winger, Adam Klapka, has signed a two-year extension with an AAB of $1.25 million a year. Pikes got more at the website. A quick thought on the man who will turn 26 at expiry and be an RFA versus a three-year deal would have sent him right to you. Reaction to the deal. Good. Go get him.

Yeah. Yeah. Jicks some ass. 1.25. Low risk. You're 24. Low term. Sure.

Large man. Great finish of the season. Say that. Don't get cocky. Yeah. You can, if you're looking to see what can go wrong. we could pass along Walker Doer's number and even to a lesser extent. I think of much Marty Pospasal impressed us in this first 40 games.

What about Lance Buma? Remember Lance Buma? Obama had quite a longer run, but yeah, he's definitely just signed in Germany. So there's lots of reminders out there. Go get him, uh, Adam. Go get him, Clapper. Yeah. Now this being done, there's not really a lot of, uh, work.

Johnny's getting all the important stuff. Dealed with. Yeah. So here's the list that Ryan Pike, our boy, is this a spreadsheet that Pike? That is just for everyone's understanding, that's 12 forwards with the forecasted totals for Zerian Frost, who are RFAs. And there's your six blue liners. Okay.

Obviously, Perek could make that seven, balls, forecasts in our phase. and you got one goalie. Still $17 million in cap space, I'm sure you could give one of those million to Justin Kirkland if you really wanted a fourth line center. You could probably, you know, push Jake Bean off the depth chart with a $4.5 million left shot defenseman. You got a lot of money.

Backup goalie. So much is backup goalies. Is it $10 million? Is they going to afford one? Well, I find goaltending very important. So maybe a $10 million, that'd be a good. They're going for it, right? They got to be.

Steelers. That's, yeah. What's Aaron making? Can we squeeze them in? I think it's 10. Yeah, we can squeeze in. Yeah, yeah. Even if it's just for the life wisdom,

we'll get to more on Aaron in the moments. Here's your forward lines as it stands. I know there's going to be talk about adding guys. But, yeah, if you're adding, you have to either put someone on a waivers or trade someone. out, which is always easier said than done. Go ahead. By all means, try to upgrade the group.

I'm trying to be rude, but. No one wants your Yeager. Joel was brutal since he got here. Has to be better. Not quite sure what Morgan Frost is yet. You like that fourth line of energy go-getters. Yeah, I mean, these are guys. Established quantities in the top six.

Yeah, these are guys who have contracts. I think there's upgrades across the board that could be made, I don't think. Will be made? I don't think we'll be. Yeah, I don't either. Like you could have to kick tires on an Anthony Manta type of guy, but. Like a draft. I need you to explain the head toss there.

Wow, just the, we're rolling back the same. The band is back. Everyone's got contract. Everyone's back. And where are we going to end up? Same spot, yeah. Oh, great. And ninth in the west.

Or maybe you don't get all those comeback victories and the elite net binding. and all the bounces. Let's see. Got you energized, Retro? No, don't mess with the chemistry, which is sad because they played their asses off and they gave us a great season. It's now two months after, though,

you can look back and go, I don't, I'm looking, I'm trying to project a little further out. Yeah, I would be too. Yeah. This, of course, does not have, on that list was not Joel Hanley,

who's a UFA, everyone expecting to walk. Everyone hates Joel Handel. People are expecting Zane Perak to start. It would be silly to send him back to there. At least give him a try in the NHL. Is he going to help or hinder?

Maybe a bit of both. I think you can certainly tell me the power play is going to be better, but he's not a great defensive defenseman at this point. And even good defensiveman at age 19 aren't very good defensively. So I don't see a Hansuk here. Yeah, no, I don't either.

He started the season. He sure did. He had a good two weeks there, didn't he? it's the first round pick right also true you love first round pick you never fail first round picks I'd have them what I was saying I like the really really high ones that's when mid-season I was saying you should trade Rasmus so your pick would actually be in the top 10 rather than gifted to Montreal yeah I'm still cheeky about this Hansick thing

because I feel like they went off the board I was watching and everyone that was announcing or talking or commentating on the it was kind of Oh, okay. Hansik, yeah, he's playing Vancouver. He was not next up in their mind. It was not Igor Shinikov either, but like, who is this guy? We haven't heard of them. What league is?

Oh. But yeah, by all means, Hanso, prove us wrong again. Prove us wrong. We've been. Dean buried you after. You can be the best third line center, even if that's accomplished. Great.

And to be fair, that's kind of what a reasonable outcome is for a 16th overall pick. If you're a third line player. Then you're an idiot. We should do the math one day about how many players in the league, how many picks are in the first round, and why everyone thinks top 20 picks should all be stars.

Because there's just not that many jobs, right? I don't know. I feel like you're contradicting yourself because you're the one that's all in about just picks, picks! We need more. as you can. The higher, the better, because it's harder to screw up.

Yeah. Ficks are good. Because free agency ain't going to fix this team. Oh. You can get Bennett and Marner. You're telling me that's not going to improve things. Good grief, bender. You're so out to watch.

Plan the parade route. Bring them in. Got the money. You just showed you the cap space. You just said how much cap space we have. Yeah. I do need to make the handbook just so I have it handed. when when this stuff comes up yeah it's like so you got to get a pick but if it's at 16 well that's

only a third third line player at best and you got to can't expect more than that but so why are you I do enjoy it's it's it's always it's I enjoy the pender says all first rounders are going to be great pender also says you can easily miss it 16 like we understand there's a spectrum right that pick one isn't equal to pick 20 isn't equal to pick 32 right yeah yeah so like you don't need to oversimplify my point, which is you need really good young players. And the more high picks you have, the better your chance of getting them, right? I understand. It's not a complicated case.

No, it's not. Yeah. Okay. Dustin Wolf was left off the ballot by three dummies that actually are allowed to vote on NHL awards yesterday. We told you this. He finished second to Lane Hudson. Congrats Lane. Macklin Celebrini finished third.

It was Matt Vaymishkov, fourth, and I believe, Logan Stankhoven finished fifth. So what are we bad about? Three turds didn't even have them in the top five. Now, luckily, Flames Twitter guy at Fiery Sharkey has found these three monkeys. Wayne Fish from the Allentown Morning Call, Sammy Silver of the hockey news, and Adam Denker of the hockey news. If you need any more, I didn't even know her.

Any more reason to go look for the hockey news at your newsstand that doesn't exist. anymore. That might be two good reasons. Yeah, they had five on their ballot. Wolf wasn't one of them. Who's up Wayne Fish on the radio show? Come on. Philly? Yeah. I can understand he'd have Mishkov higher because he's playing the

Homer card, but are you telling me that Cutter Gochie was way better this year? Like, who the hell did you have in five? Oh, shit, I forgot to look at goalies. Oh, I just sorted by rookie scoring. Fuck. I could be it. Well, it's got to be, but that's how bad it is that these people have votes. Well, it is that bad because I know that someone that you named earlier gets to vote.

And although very dialed in on it, maybe. Wolf was number one on West Gilbertson, Eric Francis, Darren Haynes. Oh, so they're not biased. And Salem Belgies ballots. Mike got him in two. Okay, we'll move. Another award given away, which means another awkward. We're going to surprise a guy who's totally.

Totally surprised, right? Oh, I'm surprised. Luckily, it's Calgary boy this time. Oh, nice. I've been friends with Kail for a long, long time. We're secretly going to have his brother, Taylor, film some of our golf shots. We're going to play 11 holes,

at which point we're going to stop at Cal's parents, surprise Kail with the trophy and all his friends and family. The smallest thing's off, he's going to know, so we just hope today goes smooth. I'm not too worried. I think we'll get him. Cut the back. You are the 2025 Norris trophy winner.

Thank you very much. My first thought was honestly that one of the boys that I was playing with won like some golf Yeah, it wasn't a buddy winning a golf tournament. It was kale. I think it was more excited. You're in for the cup, kale. That's what you're there for. Second Norris has one cup.

And yeah, doesn't it feel like. he's not really ready to celebrate this season yet maybe that was tough out for colorado hell of a player looks nice in calgary yeah gorgeous house to home would be really good Connie you are this guy's trashal status congrats care summer 27 before that new ring opens come on home trade about to happen in the nchall apparently frank bomb it's a frank bomb not frank it's frank so we know this is legit okay apparently the rangers are about to send their third, well, onerous contract out the door under Chris Drury.

I'm not sure what the end game is here, but maybe even following Jacob Trubber to Anaheim is the Ducks and Rangers work on a Chris Kreider trade. Crider, an off year last year, 22 goals, 30 points, and 68 games. He's one year removed from 39 goals and 75 points, and we all know the sliding train wreck that was the Rangers season last year. And a Stanley Cup playoff run where he was epic in winning hockey game. Like they were talking, he's Messier, he's Messier. 30 elimination games in the playoffs, he scored in 16 of them.

Like he has been a money guy for them, but obviously last year, everything went wrong. Get his ass out of there. And Anaheim is saying, okay, we'll give you nothing, but do it. Two years left on his deal, he's making six and a half, which isn't much money anymore. 34 years old. Is this the ducks, you know, insulating the young guys with veterans? They've already got, uh, yeah, but what are they giving up to get it? It sounds like Casey Terrence, a second rounder from 23, who only scored 20 goals in the

O as a 19 year old. It's not much. He's from the New York area. Yeah. Um, yeah, I don't look clearly. The Rangers wanted this guy out for a while. the snag right now apparently is the Anaheim was on the no on his no trade list that he's got a few teams on but there's a thought that he's just happy to get out of there right now because of the train wreck that Drury and the bad cover band singer owner previously AV was involved in I think that Anaheim was on a lot of teams no trade list but I think because they played better last year all of a sudden team guys are going well hey who hey wait a minute here you're not far away I don't think yeah the team's in Proving. Yeah, yeah, I'll wait.

The other thing of it is, too, when you talk about it, would you have a no trade? You want to have it, you negotiate for it. Sometimes it's not that hard. Yeah. You would think, why would I want to leave New York? Well, there's a lot of reasons. I've been a ranger for a long time and I do love it here. But under the current environment, I will probably take a trade somewhere. I would bet a lot of money that last year was the most miserable professional career of the NHM career, year, I should say.

Like that was just awful last year that team. Guy can score power play specialist. 39, two years ago, it's not nothing, but 34. Yeah, yeah. Great news locally is Brent Dodging Horse has won the Willie O'Re Award is Canada's winner. One for the U.S. won for Canada. They didn't surprise them? No.

There was public voting and he won the vote. They love surprises. that Gary I don't know what I don't know what is worse surprises or dudes reading off teleprompters in the ward show they don't want to be at Bill Daly comes into the office sits down

whoopee cushion on his chair Gary pops out got you You're the vice president of the year Gary Oh Gary You got me again you turkey We've gone too long without one So we need a Pittsburgh Steelers

Jackometer update First let's give you a little information What's going on with the team there he is those colors don't look right look so beard looks very familiar very salty wisdom red he's amassed along the way the green at least was in both the jets and the packers uniform this is just an odd look uh jack rate this look out of 10 out of 10 out of 10 okay he loves rogers was pissing me off all off season made me wait made me suffer but i'm all in now you know who he didn't first day of practice i'm

I was watching all the highlights. What were you saying? He's such a loser. Can you hear his voice, right? Like you can hear. Oh, he's checked. He's back in. I'm so pumped.

I can't believe this is real. Oh, my God. Now, he made the Steelers wait. This is a very late development in the off season. You know who he didn't make weights this, uh, off season? He got married. Whoever the hell he got married to. Nobody knows.

Yeah, he was very proud. He said he pulled one over on all the media and everybody. Congrats, I guess. That's one reason to get married, I guess. Division of rival, Miles Garrett was asked about his Cleveland Browns playing the Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rogers this year. I think it's a good opportunity to put him in the graveyard outside. It's a great opportunity. Put him in the graveyard.

Appreciate it. I also would know. Looks like he might be able to. Yeah, I think he's the man for the job. No sleeves is a choice, but it's the right choice for Miles Garrett. Let's be clear. I wouldn't wear shirts. I would

barely be clothed. I'd get and get it. I'd keep the headband and that's about it. Yep. Yeah. He's going to beat Rogers over the head with his helmet or what? Oh, see, that's a throwback

because Miles, yeah, basically right, huh? All right. Yeah. And so everyone is reacting now to Aaron Rogers finally arriving in Pittsburgh and I saw this pop up today.

It's a how's the season going to go for the Steelers? We're going to open up with a win against the Jets, win against Seattle. Oh, no, setback, two losses into the buy. All you need to know is it nets out to what, Rhett? Nine and eight. Nine and eight.

Another year of Calgary Flames football. Good finish, though. Go get them. Playoff team. Oh, losing in the first wild card. Correct. Getting blown out in the first round. 100%.

So good work by Tomlin. You're ready to a nice warm up for the other teams when they get to play Pittsburgh in the first round. You're ready to get hurt again, Jack? Probably. Probably. Look at him in the black there, Jackie Boy. Yes, that looks better, yeah.

This popcorn is so good. So what is what kind of pot? Is it like caramel corn or is it just salted rig? I like cheddar, so I always get myself a bag of cheddar. But everyone else likes the Chicago mix, the caramel cheddar mix. Oh. And so which one are you eating? This is just the cheddar.

I was going to say, I hope you don't get any on your shirt. The man loves popcorn. I keep looking for that shelf with the ranch on it, but I'd probably realize he's not renting that house anymore. He's somewhere else. Wait till he lies down on the floor. Right. And maybe he comes into shot.

We do have a game tonight, fellas. It's not our men's national soccer team, nor a CFL game, nor a NHL game. It is game three of the NBA finals. You got a cheer for the thunder because they got a Canadian guy on there, so we're bringing it back to Canada. SGA, the MVP of the league.

That's how it works, right? That's how it works, right? Yeah, hell yeah, bring it back. You cheer for Canada, and if you're not from Canada out of Canada, you, yeah. Is this a ratings bonanza for the NBA, do you think? No, but I actually think it is an entertaining fun. It's just two tiny markets. Because just looking at that, it feels like.

I was listening to Stephen A because I'm a big, I do my rounds. Even A was actually on a political show that I was talking about how great the NBA is doing. Really the listeners are really dialed in. The listeners. They're doing the F is the Rocky Mountain Register. Get out of here. Oh, to be Rocky Mountain. And they're from Colorado.

Maybe it's scale. No, he's in Calgary. Yeah, I know. But maybe he's from one of me from his Denver number and wants me to go out and teach him a few things. The Rocky Mountain Register. That sounds like a media outlet. Maybe all of your blogging has caught in the eye of a newspaper in Denver. You're writing on the Second Amendment is really incredible.

We'd like to use a few pieces in the Rocky Mountain registry. Here's something for you to do in Buffalo. You're there for a bit, right? You've got Fridays the concert. Saturdays piece. So, okay, well, here's something for later in the week. Max Scherzer, $70 million earned this year, getting paid champ. and Future Hall of Fame Major League pitcher

will be starting for the Bisons on Friday night after the hockey game night before the concert night. I'll get your ass down to that beautiful brick diamond down there. I can go down there and throw the ball around with them there if he wants to warm up with me. Could you do the ceremonial first pitch?

No, I can't throw. What about a 999 rat? Because I know you're really eager to do ours but just conflict and schedule. I think that sounds great. Wouldn't that be amazing? Yeah. Hammer some dogs.

You're the shoveler? See if you can beat Jack's record of five. Jack, you're such a quitter. Oh, my God. You and Rogers. Speaking of 99, someone tried to do it the other day in the stadium. Really?

You know, I'm never going to do that again. In stadium would be an interesting little, I don't know. Boy, bought it all at once. We go different. This guy looks like a beast. He looks like a beast. got the Ricky from trailer park boys what do you mean?

What's the white shades? Did he buy all nine beers and all nine dogs? It looks like it might even be tall boys. Like this guy looks ready. Hey, I'm talking, baby. Oh,

he's so tall that's small. That's it. Finish the third inning, finish the third beer. I'm actually on my fourth hot dog. I'm a little ahead of schedule. Ah!

close to folks in mind Have you ever but to be so powerful So heavy Yeah. Oh, here. Whoa. That's it. You got to get up and move around?

Yep. Oh, no. Oh, geez. Oh. This could be, there he is. He's got kicked out, but he's still doing his knife dog.

I think the rules. Our rules officials will allow it. You get that close to the finish line. Maybe you need a little help. Maybe you bend the rules just a little because you see the work ethic. What's the name of that ballpark in Buffalo? Used to be Coca-Cola. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Jim is convenience store.

Salins. It's a hot dog sponsor. Salon's hot dog. I bet they serve hot dogs and beers. It's a sign. They're big, though. Well, when you're doing your rounds before Friday, see if they have just the regular size dogs. I'm sure Greg at Bontan, I'll have some pals in Buffalo. He can hook up with him down. Ozzie Brad checked in a couple weeks ago. I don't want to get too much into his prediction. Yeah.

But I think this guy we found might be his dad. If you're a fucking fair thing, I'm fucking full-grown Aussie. This is what you'd have for breakfast, you fucking dog cunts. A fucking B-B. Long neck. A 20 to wait in the fucking morning. Gordon, get that up. It's behind the wheel.

Finally. Do you want to show this? Why not? Okay. Listen, everyone's inviting all of us. You got to get up to Edmonton. You got, like, put your allegiances aside. Come enjoy the camaraderie, the festivity, the whole city's

that, aren't you, Gene? I haven't seen this. Oh, see, come on. It's good. Well, they're going to be cheering dry side of us. All right. Ryan's fault. Now, this is not Oilers fans and Panthers fans were at, or if you're just listening.

that's their watch part. This is the watch party at the hippotank for game. I know. You said it the other day. We got to get up there. We got to get up there. Now, here's the thing. They're also doing the things outside.

It's not just the hippo tank. They got the pit as well. Oh, that guy's really out. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's drool. This is much better because it's only like eight chicks fighting, which is a really normal thing I see everywhere I go.

What are we doing people? I've never seen 11th. You're excited about the final, right? Oh, boy. You're right. There's something in the water. It's not a joke. Yeah, okay.

Security, three guys in yellow or us. So we'll settle this down. Anyway, we're going to decline the invite, but thanks for everyone inviting us up to have, at least me personally. I don't know what Red's schedule is like or your availability. Do you know you got a lot of softball? If it gets to game seven, I'm trying to get up. there. I do believe that part of this is they think it helps them win.

Really? Because they've gotten this far with all the fights. That's right. It's, well, it's fighting. It's, this is their part. They're doing their part. Kind of like Rhett and I not wearing orange or drinking out of orange water bottles. That it's them bludgeoning each other about the forehead. Never thought about that. Dude is concussed. Yeah. And I'm here to, I know it's not a regular game night, but that'll be a dirty floor. Oh, yeah. Maybe he was listening to see if there was a train coming. Maybe he was playing around.

I don't know if I can hear it. I don't know. I wouldn't lie there if I were you if that train comes through. You just have to get up here. It's so friendly and the fans are so great. Rain check. Back to you, Dean. Village Honda located in the Northwest Auto Mall.

New in stock inventory. It's a new vehicle you're looking for you. You just need that new car smell. They get it. They understand it.

There's nothing like the sound of a new Honda door.

FOMP, I think is how you would. It's a fompe. Double O? Maybe. If it was double I'd be in. Fump? I'd maybe go pH. Oh, like fump, there it is.

I like that. We can talk about it after, I guess. It's not right. Anthony. Yeah. Northwest Automal Online VillageHonda.com. We weren't sure if we were going to get you. We had your photo ready to go just in case.

Maybe we were going to have to get you on the phone or if something didn't happen. Yeah, I would say some technical difficulties. Yeah. What was the technical difficulties? Did we end up? Scott knows kid yelling in the Starbucks. Oh. Wasn't like a popcorn kernel in your teeth?

They're in my teeth now. I would know. So are you at the home studio there in, uh, yeah. If you want to see some pictures, with some weird art in this one. I'm down, yeah.

Because it is, uh, it's potato salad season. I know Greg doesn't really want to talk about it. Well, he should. their potato salad is the tits. Yeah, whatever you do, just don't go up and ask for that.

I'm telling you. That doesn't look like Pinder, I don't think. It's a little too beardy. We don't get too critical because the guy that makes them, all of a sudden they've, you kind of ripped them for a spelling error, and now they've been, they've slowed down a great deal. At the, yes.

That's what's the marriage. What I said to you the other day, Pinder, tone, tone matters. Yeah, tone matters. So what the tone. So we thought we would use this if we didn't have you. In the three shot? Look at all the Aaron Rogers wisdom. It's pretty good.

No critiques there. Bontan meat market. It's been too long. You can be like Rhett. You can grab a tub to take home and a tub for the drive home. Greg, I'll see you Tuesday. I'll be up there for a couple of tubs. And I'm going to maybe need to restock the fridge.

so we might have a little large order that needs to be filled. I was happy to facilitate Jack's first meeting with Greg. Oh, yes, the tailgate on Saturday. Yeah, you quite enjoyed himself. 28 crowfoot circle Northwest, Southern Alberta's Consumer Choice Award winner best deli and meat market for 24 consecutive years. Just thinking of it. So in's a K.

It's a market. Got it, not merit. They've got salads, desserts, and of course, we're in it now. We're well into June. It's barbecue seats. and it's grilling. You've got your griddle. You're doing smash burgers.

Whatever it is. Don't, don't stroll through your grocery store. You're just going to be so disappointed. Get some, get some cheesecake while. Yeah, that's good. Ryan,

what was Greg saying he wanted to do for the tailgate party that we got to do some big one? Was it lobster? Oh, he's thinking about a boil of sorts. And we get later in the summer. Oh, he sent a picture once of the. He did.

But he also wants to round up as many, like former old linemen around town as possible and get them so you can eat the most whether it was crab or lobster or something oh that's i just said yes that all sounds good i'll be there he still wants to celebrate the bologna sandwich i don't know what what the delay is you're a organizing guy gregg's got the goods let's get this done okay let's the block party red have we got a date set for that yet because we could probably tie it into that i was actually going to take some video of how they do work here as opposed to Calgary because they're doing a major

road job here and they don't have 17 people standing around in yellow vests. Two in the yellow to send it to send it to Nenshi so he can see the video and get things going. When I left the room there briefly there was a man and he was saying that they're tearing up the sidewalk

Be kind of fun to play for your country.

Really? A lot of chatter about that. Scott. My Holmes is the exact opposite. No, I'll leave that for the younger guys. Okay. You'd be good.

You said it first, Red. I think it'd be cool. Those guys would want to win an Olympic medal. How the hell else? They're like a lot against, though. Does anyone else play flag football? Yeah.

There's a good chance of a bolt. Even better. Yeah. Oh, they beat a lot. Armenia 2000 to zero. It's like, who's on the Olympic gold medal that will forever be in your family unless you lose it. We can't lose that one.

Goddrow era. Different eras I'm guessing we're talking about there. I don't remember them playing together. Well, I think it's because there was many iterations of need a rink. Then they were going to build it in the long the- Gallagher and X. Yes, there was. So the fact that they had to wait this long for an arena deal would maybe, I don't know.

I think Pike had mentioned first noting of it by Ken King. was in 04, so that is RETS era, to be fair. I feel like they've been trying to win. I don't think they've been, well, we would go for this free agent, but without an arena three years away, we won't sign this guy. What about the flip side where you're like, yeah, I don't really love the ring there. Maybe I'll sign somewhere else. Is that a thing or no?

It's not just the rink. It's Canada. It's Alberta. It's north and the arena. And yeah, it's all the above. Lack of contenders, all that. got it. That's an angle I maybe didn't see.

All right. Your rank won't hurt. I don't know if we gave an answer there. We're undecided. We're undecided if there's a correlation or not. I don't know what correlation means. Crichter trade clears cap room for Marner or Bennett. Asks R&B.

Maybe go on, like you say. New York's a great spot. That's how popular your restaurant. would be if it wasn't people driving up with truck nuts on diesel yes exactly the people outside you're a restaurant here you'd be you'd definitely hold you back you need less security having a nice little latte on your sidewalk cafe without some guy driving his diesel and blowing bros face wrap it we got one more yeah go panthers oh it'd be good 699 699 699 right in there.

Well, that's a show. That's a show. Noodles is great. Bring back some of that popcorn or is that illegal? It's gone now, but we are coming back through Chicago, so I will have to.
