Here we go. Jack is not messing around today. Come on, guys. Hurry. We were kind of lollygagging around a little bit here before the show. And Jacks, are we ready to go? Hey, so we're good. Let's go. You ready? Ellis.

Let's go. 10.10. Look at that. What's going on? Jack? You got a hot date. Got to get out of here? No.

Not any time soon. Oh, well, you don't know that. Emily Retchowski. The group. Available? Oh, I've seen her. Give her a chat. Send her a.

Senator a DM. Is that what they do? Can we get new chairs? Can we or did we? No, can we? Yes, you're bringing a chair. I hate them. Whatever you like, get a throne.

They're not comfortable. They're lame. I want you to get a chair you like, buddy. No good. Don't push my thing again. Fuck you. They drop when you, unexpectedly.

It's pretty expected when your foot's off. Only Pender's chair seems to do it, though. It's only yesterday, too. Weird how that worked, eh? Yeah. Sorry about that, bud. Welcome to the program, I believe, although I've not touched base with him, Jamie McClend. I'm going to join us today because it's a Wednesday.

His name is noodles. Noodles. Dudes. Set me some water. Bottles or just water? No, he didn't. Are you serious? Bottles with water in them.

Really? And then they're reusable. Huh. Yeah, I don't really know what. He's in on everything. I know. Like, we should. He really is.

I was saying last week he was in on it. It's like, I think he was in on our parent company a thousand years. Yeah, well, he was and he was on some other. What was it? It was a media thing. It's the Victory Plus, which is Neil, our pal in Calgary doing the streaming stuff in the NHL. Yeah.

I heard about that a while ago. I didn't really pay attention as much as I should have, I think. Well, you know, he was dating my sister's friend. Yeah, nice young fella. Give them all your money. Let's get to it. the opening statements today, a presentation of McLeod Law, Shane King, a partner in the litigation and dispute resolution group, Peter Klein, he's a personal injury guy, also your

disability insurance claim guy. They've got the very best of the best. They are in Calgary. They're here for you. We keep saying it, but there's nothing more frustrating than when something happens and you need help and you can't get it. And you feel, can we please stay on hold? Can they call you back? We're experiencing greater volume at this time. No, not that. It's Christmas. Drive me crazy. That's why you love McLeod Law.

You start giving you that piano. Like, do, do, do, do, do you go to our app? I've been to the app. I've been to the website. I need help. Please. Please talk to someone. Cloud Law, proud of those Calgary Roots, big part of their longstanding client relationships.

Making a positive impact on our city is what they're doing. MacLeod-dashlaw.com, whatever it is that you need. The Flames win for the second game in a row. Oh, Blasty. I mean, that's, you got to, since the scheduled loss, they've been very good. I've not heard that very often before in my, like, yeah, it was the fifth and eight. I mean, the stats on them are disgusting. I understand it, but like.

It's kind of a newer terminology that people use. Like today I saw something. The scheduled loss. Cyclone bomb. Cyclone bomb. So. And, yeah. Cyclone bomb threat.

We don't want to talk about. So anyway, the flames have one back to back games. Blasty. You were all upset. The Blasty was coming in. Back to 500? You know what? It's wrong with Blasted.

He needed to win. He got it. He was there last night too. I thought he was good. Had to battle. Yeah, I thought he was okay. It was not his best night. I forgot to send this to Jack, but I've got, there was also Blasty and Harve were there.

And there was a third fellow that you would never guess that, well, I feel like you'd he go way back. Okay. Well, we'll anxiously wait on that. So, yeah, the scheduled loss, was that the, which one was that? Vancouver. was Vancouver. They played at home, LA Monday, and that was after a long run.

It was their third game in four days, their second of back to back. First game. Three games and four days in three different cities and three different times zones, five and eight. They were dog tired and they didn't change anything of something goalie. They kept rolling the guys out after the big one.

Oh, what was that game? No, no, no, no. Last night. A two one. Two to one. So why don't we bet these things? The under? It felt like an under. We could have predicted. I say we should have bet we know exactly what the score is going to end up. Yeah.

I definitely wasn't a surprising two one. Because the way we started yesterday's show was saying there's a lot of similarities between these two teams. Not a lot of scoring. They rely on their goaltending. Bad special teams is right. Make things tricky for the opposition team. But they got it done.

Great third period again. Jack was setting me updates. He's like, Garland. Boomers on Afterburner tonight guaranteed overtime. I'm like, oh, I forgot about that. Did you do the Afterburn? How come you don't call me?

I'm a number one's beyond after. As soon as I, as Anderson tied it, I texted Gould. I said, O.T's going to be great. And then, O.T was great, but. So we need someone to score while there's other players defending on the ice

other than a goal. It's going to shootout. So, uh, not a, I was done in the original three rounds of the shootout. That's the, it wasn't like 17. rounder with American League or anything. And once again,

Kirkland leads the way. And the shootout, two for three this year. Favorite player. He was over 60% in the American League. They like using him there. Looks very confident. Because remember he did the first and was like, what is he doing? What the Huska? Why are you throwing this? Hey, nice. Okay.

And it's a great goal. And it's a man maker. Wags in a cross. And the second time, he didn't have lost. I tried to see. It was a one, one-off wonder, one hit wonder. And then last night, why is he, is he his last attempt? It's not going to, hey, how about that?

Same move all three times. I don't really know why that's tough for a goalie, but you don't often see a guy on his, go to the far side to shoot. He's just confident that he'll take what's available. Someone open up if he makes a goal and move that far. I'm just putting myself, well, you're a goalie, dad, so you would appreciate this.

As he's going from his right to his left, the goalie is probably so focused on five hole, five hole. I've got to keep paddle down, stay low, stay low. Totally. And then. Just had, so, shi, shi, shi, shi, shi. I'm going to put it over the pad and under the glove. And if that glove gets a little droopy, then you go shelf.

Let's go. You'd shoot it, right? Well, yeah, it's the best foot off the ice. 18 inches. I always have grand designs, but it's usually red on the logo. That's where I get it. I'd have fallen on the blue line. Everyone would have had a great guffaw.

It would have faked an injury and gone down the ramp and off. What's that? No, I can't. I. That was like you would. We had in Columbus once there. It was double digits. And it was close enough.

where I had the sweat was oh really yeah so that would have been your first and only ever twist the ankle son of a it'd be great if just fire one right from center no i wasn't going to score anyway go sit back now i didn't fall over yeah thought i kind of by surprise so there's the scheduled loss but there was also the two games if you remember on that road trip that's set just right before that scheduled loss five nothing Vegas we were not happy no that was roachier prior yeah five one Utah not good yeah it's like how these this is this is so Now we're settling in for what this season might be. This is what we're going to see.

And since then, 5-2 and 2, a scheduled loss in there. And they, I mean, they're riding some great goal tending. I would say that's the only thing that's. See. Yeah, last seven games, five have been Wolf starts now. And he's been. How many goals have scored? Well, here, look, I have some data here.

Shut the front door, big boy. He did his numbers. Do it. Nerd. Right. I'm the nerd. That's right. Get your analytics out of here.

Nerd! Goals scored in regulation. Since returning home from that Vegas and Utah debacle. Yes. Worst two games of the year. In regulation, New Jersey, well, I'll just three, two, two, three, two, two, two, one, two, two, one, two, two. one.

So this goal's four. It's a two one league game. In reg. That's not, you know what that is? That's not a lot of breathing room for your goaltender. No, they have not gotten over three goals. So if we added the, is that what Ovechkins got on the year? Yeah.

Jeez. Two, three, four, five, seven. That's nine games and they have points and seven of them winning five of them. And how many goals total in nine then? Can you do that math? Not quick. Okay. The total goals in there?

You were writing it down. I was trying to keep up. I thought you were going to goals against. Like, these numbers aren't matched. What else is going on? What I said? Four in regulation. How they're winning.

They don't. One, two, one, two, two, a couple threes. It's, it's amazing. And the separation is there now between Wolf and Vlodar. Wolf has been tremendous. 18 goals and nine game, Jarvaging two goals again. It's gross. It's awful.

Six and one at home. 1.83 goals against the 944 save percentage, 7-2 and 1 in the year. F, the Calder. It's just you're going for more on that later. The big one. Don't have the call to just collect them all. Let's go. I'll just stay up here.

Yeah, what's the next door? I'm right here. Do you want more? His last five starts. It gets better and better. It gets better and better. Because this would have been stretching back to the last Rochup, which was successful. Oh, God.

Good, bragging about Wolf. You guys are putting pressure. Yeah, he can't handle pressure. Pressure. It's just a child. He's a kid. Settle. Montreal, remember that one.

You have to come back. Two on 24, victory. Boston, four on 38, and they lost in an overtime. L.A. 1 on 29 win. Nashville, zero on 29 win. And L.A. Islanders win on. Remind me of the goal against L.A. scored on them.

Why don't you? Well, I'm just, it's this much. Like, it's this much. It was from a shutout. Like, the whole puck did not. even crossed the line. He was exceptional. It's as close to shutters you can get.

So anyway, he's good. Very good. What's wrong with Flaar? You guys are... Nothing's wrong. You're just right in the hot hand right now. Lidar's been absolutely probably as good as you could expect. He's been all right.

Better than I expect. Yeah, sure. Coming off. That's a lot. Here's coming off a hip. Maybe that hip was holding him back. Are we, uh, we're excited or scared? Excited.

Okay. Good. Why scared? or their score. Oh, that, wow. No, it's, it's not like the team's playing very well. They've been okay and the goaltending's been exemplary. And this could leave you in peak pain, absolutely,

which would be finishing outside of the playoffs and not having a top 10 pick. That will be peak pain. I think you need to, we all need to start preparing for that fate. That's, that's what I'm, you said, why are you fearful or scared wherever the word was? Like, that's exactly it. Yeah, you might be right. But look at this. Look at this.

People that are just listening. What are we? Those are the standings in the west here. And they're one point out of first in the Pacific. Vegas plays in Toronto tonight or host Toronto. I don't know where the game is. It's Vegas Toronto tonight. That's a game in hand Vegas has.

In Toronto. Thank you. So, I mean, a Vegas lost tonight, you'd be one point out of the division lead. But we're also still talking about less than 20 games. And three points out of peak pain. There's not a lot of teams.

that they have horrible special teams and struggle to score that hang around. But if there are occasional outliers, it's going to be because of exceptional goaltending. It's the only way you can do it. Well, this is the scary. Yes, this is the scary. The good and the bad, right? That's what we're evaluating here is that we've got a goaltender now that we're very confident in and will keep us in games.

He looks great right now. He looks like a top goalie on planet Earth right now. The guy that we were worried, they might have to protect. him a little bit because of how shoddy the defense is. They might have to really kind of measure his starts and pick opponents. I'll say this, doing the show last night.

There is the sentiment out there. Who's he play? I don't really care that much. I know. I don't either. But it's not Are you supposed to play Vegas five in a row? Like Montreal is not a playoff team. Boston fired their coach. L.A.,

hard to say. Nashville no good. The Islanders didn't look to be very good. it's not his fault. Just up the puck's that a shot. Has he been good against those teams? It's not as if they don't know how to shoot the puck or they have no skill or their low quality shots. He's making the saves he needs to make. They're in the NHL.

That's the other teams that it's all inter, within the play and the league regularly. And I would guess there's probably some teams out there that will play the same opponents and be like, I wish our goal he didn't let in four tonight because we should beat a team like Montreal, Nashville, the Islanders. So like you, I'm not too caught up in who they. they're playing. I'm more interested in how well the kid is. Yeah, the results matter more than, I mean, he's just looked great.

He's made saves that he shouldn't be making and he's stopping his approach. You ride the hot hand. Like I think he starts against the Rangers tomorrow. And then if you want to get Vladar in for some work, you've got Minnesota 2 p.m. on Saturday. If Wolf has a loss, you're obviously going to go back to Vlodar at this point. And you, I think it's just an alternation until someone's got a hot hand. they went through that stretch where they didn't play a lot of hockey, right?

What was it? Two games in eight days after the five and eight games. So now he's played a couple here. If he does go against the Rangers, it would be six of the last eight would be Wolf starts. Shesirkin went last night. So I wonder if they go quick, Jonathan Quicks, his boyhood idol.

That's right. L.A. Kings, he grew his California kid. I don't know. Does that play into it? They didn't play him against Markstrom. Not that that was his idol, but yeah, I don't know. Like he has the, we've seen the picture. of him as a wee lad. Delroy, California.

Dustin, California? I don't know if it does or it doesn't, but it's the thing. I think the real thing that you're deciding on is this guy's coming off three games where he's been almost unbeatable. Like one puck and three games has crossed the goal entirely. More than an inch. How are you not putting him back in? He gives you your best chance to win tomorrow night.

Yeah, it's just to keep the other, get the other guy back in and get him some minutes. That's the only. Yeah. And I'm not too worried about Vlodar not being able to get minutes this year. Hot hand go. It's not as if Wolf is exhausted leaving the crease. Can I get an IV?

I lost eight pounds tonight. This was a very low event first 40 minutes. Like it was wet blanketville. The saddle home was doubling as a library and or hospital hallway. It was the Islanders on Tuesday. It was the Islanders on Tuesday. And the third, I thought,

when he makes three or four saves in the opening five to eight minutes that were like huge. It's like, okay, now you can see, okay, we got a game here. Knowing I was doing. He's held them in this now. Knowing I was doing after burner, I'm sitting there watching the television and then catching myself daydreaming. I'm not on my phone. I'm not reading a boy.

Okay, pay attention to this game. I haven't paid. I don't know what happened in the last four minutes. I have to rewind. You didn't miss much. I was thinking about drinks. about drinks and umbrella drinks and sand beaches. Okay, what's happened?

Did I miss anything? Probably not. That was a common thing last night. My brother turned to me and said, it's 10 minutes in. Have I missed anything? We've been here. I'm watching, but I don't remember anything happens.

No, no, that's what's happened. Skating. There's one chance there. They've done some skating, Dean. After 40, the Sarich, Leslie Francis Treel. Well, that's how the islanders want it. It is. that's how they want to do it.

Yeah, that's not flames hockey. Those islanders, they came in and imposed their will on it. They're on the road. They don't care how boring it is. It's not as if they kept the high flying flames. Now, power play goal, Anderson's bomb, first power play goal in five games. Second unit.

When they score in the power play, and it hasn't happened a lot, four, one, and two. Oh, just get one. You're a stats nerd. That's great. Look at this. There it is.

Let's meet and what that's you. It was a rip. It was a rare sequence of a direct to take Pospicile Cammary. Anderson, what time? Scars.

A rip. That is a rip. Almost 95 miles down. They were moving it quite nicely there. It was a rare sequence of direct functional play on the power play. Tate to tape passes at the other team moving around. I was remind people.

Postpicile in that, sorry, in the. the bumper. Is that what they call the bumper? That's the bumper, yep. He won hardest shot in the H.O. one year. People forget how soon can rip it. Raspus Anderson? Like 95, that's not nothing.

It's not that hard. In a game it is. Like that would be one of the, I think probably the hardest five to ten goals of the season. It's for velocity. I don't know. Anyway, it's a hard shot. It's good to see him rip it. It comes back to the thing about.

you're getting the goal tending. Your defense isn't falling to pieces. Oh, no. Defense is fine. What's up? How are you doing? No, I'm not going to harp on it. I just had a thought.

Oh, all right. You know what they're going to do? I'll write it down. I've lost all Connie Fiddance. Have you really? Yeah. In Craig? Tell me.

You know what's coming? What's going to score? You're going to add. Got to go get a score. Oh, geez. We're right. Connie's got three first rounder. home ice in the playoffs.

If we can just score into PowerPoint. Well, he's very kind. We got to get a, we got to get a power play guy. They have Power Play guys. They're no good. We got to, we got to get a better power play guy. Stop touching me. Who's out there? In fairness, if Cadry just wants to

pick. Yeah. Oh, no. Carrey's good. What it needs to do. Can you imagine if we added a center, a playmaking center? Oh, those are easy. Go get two. Baby. And then the slotting? Yeah, yeah.

Imagine the slotting. No, yeah, I know. We got all this cab space. He had hands on his face, but now he seems excited about this idea. He's talking himself into it. This is Connie Fidens and Doni, you're, yeah, your, Connie Fidens is growing. Yeah. Clearly in this.

Um, you think Pascal isn't up there just scouring the league? I'm sure he is. I think he's probably working on the HL roster. I think he's screaming it. Connie, get a center that can move the puck. I know what it's like to play with Dudd centers. Get me, get these guys a center. And Connie's like, ah, Iggy, come on.

I'm right here. Gregson. Geez. Well, didn't I. Oh, that's what. Oh, what you're wrong. Imagine if I had a center. Hey, Connie.

Marchand's UFA this summer. He wants to get the hell out of there. Boston's in shambles. Let's go. You're going to bring the cup down. What do you? You don't think they're going to add a center or a score? I just know I have Connie Fiddance and Craig to do the right thing.

And if that means adding a center, then, and if he does it, then I, I trust them. Look, he just texts me. That's what it is to have. Talk about this. Trying to keep it on the down.

Our Wednesday guest from TSN, the Sports Network. What's up? How we doing? Look at a T-shirt.

What are you wearing? Oh, what? Merry Christmas, my friend. That tree's too small for your house. Oh, it's just far away. That's a nine-foot tree. Oh, no. Look at all the space you got out there.

Get a big tree. Well, the ceiling's 14 feet high. You want me to get a 14 footer. You can play basketball in there. We were discussing after our conversation last week about the height of your ceilings and your crown molding. It's very fancy. Very fancy. Very, very high end.

Yeah. No, I don't know. I mean, yeah, the ceiling is 14 feet high. That's, that's, and apparently we had room to go 20 and the architect said, the architect said, don't do 20 because all of will trap the sound in there. The sound will be a mess. So we went to 14 feet. And then I added a panic room up top.

Good. That's good. Jeez. No, I'm serious. Do you hear the rumor? Conroy's looking for a center? I just, you know what? I got to, listen, I show up once a week.

Last week, I thought we left and the team was like, we were very happy. Just let it be, probably going to sell some pieces off. and, you know, Lidar is going to go here. You're talking about adding players now. What's going on here? We got the Vista winner. Our defense is so good. We can't be stopped.

We just, we need a power play center just to set up guy. We need a couple more goals scores. And we're first place. We're a whole nice advantage in the playoffs. Okay. So I just, I mean, is that much changed in a week? Or like, what is the, what's the argument? You want a young center?

You know what? I love you. You know that you're a goalie. I'm giving love to the goalie, this wolf guy. Get on board. He's taking us to the playoffs. Woo! Give us a hell.

And if they can't get there with the scoring they have, if they get a good centerman, squatting. It's amazing. You get a top end center and then cadre and then backland. Oh, man. Okay, so let me ask you this. Top end center from where?

Noodles, you're being logical. This is not how this is a goal. You're a goalie. Don't give me your B. So hey, how about this? Do you want to trade for Elias Limbaugh? Would you like it? Available, I bet.

Yeah, he might be available. There's not meat on that bone, that contract still. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. Like top end centermen, you know, they don't fall out of sky. Either got to draft and develop them, you know, to me, this is where you're dealing from a position of strength. You've got, you know, Pinder, you and I were shooting a note back and forth. For me, like the goalie is winning the Calder today, if he choose it today.

Okay, I watched the other kid. I watched the Russian kid play the other day live. Mishraf. He's very, yeah, he's a talented kid, but he's, there's a reason why he's been a healthy scratch because he's a bit of a dog away from the puck, right? So he's got to learn a lot. So, you know, right now, yes, he's a shiny toy. Everyone's excited.

Everyone watches him out east. but, you know, Wolf is my rookie to year right now because of what he's been doing, who he's doing it against, too. He's playing, you know, he's not getting soft starts. He's getting some good starts. And he's holding up. And to me, you know, that game looks a lot different last night in the third period. If he doesn't make some saves, right?

You know, I lost to me. That's the beauty of me calling a game out east. I can go back to my hotel room and watch, you know, the West. game, right? So I'm watching Calgary play last night. I wasn't sure how that was going to unfold. Now the Anderson that power play, that was a bomb. And

you know, I thought Kelly did a really good job pointing out how Barlamoff overpushed a little bit on the play. But that was good puck movement. You know, I just, I don't think you add. I think what you do is organically, maybe this is a pack of wolves retro.

Maybe this is an pack of wolves. This is the 2004. team where you've got a couple of good players and everybody else is really, you know, just buying in. He's pissed off. He has to play with Conroy. He's like, Jesus, get me a center here. Listen, Iggy, you look back on Iggy.

There's a Netflix special on Iggy's career in Calgary. He had three different Sotters, right? Like Brian, Brent, Carol. You know, he had, did he have a true number one center ever? Dude, he scored 50 with Dean McCammon of the other wing. What are we talking about?

Yolkin and I guess did Oli come in and be somewhat of a one? No. You know, Oli had a, if you Google Oli Yokinan right now, he looks exactly like Mike Kienin. Kipper sent me a picture of him. He's behind the bench. He's behind the bench in Finland somewhere. He looks like I had to do a double take. I swear to God, Kipper put in my WhatsApp.

He's got a big mustache. Guys that are shaved totally bald, you just assume are bald and that's why they stay bald. Oli has a great head of hair and just decided he wanted to go Bick as a haircut. It's an incredibly bold and unique decision. It's very Oli Okina of him. But I think he's thrown it back and he sucks. It's wild. No one thought he had hair.

Always got the slicked back. He's got the slick back Keenan look with a mustache. He looked exactly like Keenan. I swear to God, because Kipper just put it in the WhatsApp, he just said, Keenan question mark. And I was like, oh, why, where's Keenan coaching? I thought he was in Italy or whatever. And then it said the article was like Yoli Yokin.

And it was a Finnish article on Oli. It was so funny. So I don't know. I'm not, I don't think you add. I think you add strategically when you trade away pieces that you want to trade. You're boring. Go get a centerman. Ryan O'Reilly's in Nashville.

Just pick them up. I don't think I, here's the thing. I've got two. You have three centers over 34. I've got two predictions. I don't think we've seen the last of Nashville. I think they can climb out of the dumps. You're drunk again.

Get out of. I will be this weekend, but not right now. Seriously? I think Nashville can climb up the dumpster, and I don't think Boston's done. I think Boston will make the playoffs. I think they'll be a playoff team, and they're going to,

this might galvanize this group. So here's the example. Throw those Western standings back up, Jack? 21. How many points difference between the flames and Nashville? There's so much hockey left. Well, this is the whole point. 15 plus games.

23 is 8, Ryan. So if Nashville plays at a point and a half better than the flames a month, that's it. Not even one full win. Point and a half a month, they will catch and pass the flames. It's a lot of teams, a lot of teams to leap frog. So out of the, look, the teams that are out of the playoffs, what would you bet your house on is Colorado?

Colorado, obviously. I don't see the bottom. Jack doesn't, my screen doesn't, Sorry, I didn't. We don't either. That's all we've got. So. I can tell you.

Yeah. From the bottom, working up, Chicago, Nashville, San Jose, St. Louis, Utah, Utah, Anaheim, 13, 15, Nashville's at 15, San Jose 16, St. Louis, 17, Utah, 17, Anaheim, 18. So Nashville's at 15? Yes. How many games played? 19.

Okay. So they, you won behind Edmonton and one. you know, Ben, and they're six points out, really. Six points out with $3.95 win percentage. I don't disagree with you, but what is it about Nashville specifically that gives you that inkling? I just think they're like you have slow start. You look at, okay, so they go and get Stamcoast and Marsa, so both of them were trigger men on the power play. Both of them come from settings where they've had tremendous success.

That's all they've known. It's taking them a while to settle in. I watched them the other day. and I'm like, this is a better team. Like, this is just a better team. Soros is starting to make saves. That's a big thing. The goalie keeps you out of the video room all the time.

So you get goaltending. I like that D. I think that D is mobile. I mean, I watched Yosi the other night. Unbelievable play. Like that guy, we forget how good he is. And then the forwards. Like, Stampco's had the game I was watching,

he had two goals. He looked comfortable. Like, he looked like, okay, hey, where, you know, that's the Stamco's. It looked like they were figuring out. where guys wanted to be on that power play. And five on five, I think they're fine. I think that's a team when we haven't seen the last stuff, put it that way.

Like they had such a dreadful start. But, you know, Pinda, you're right. If they chip away a point a point a month, you know, they're in that playoff hunt. And I don't know who comes out. I think Calgary makes the run. I think Calgary's going to play meaningful games for young players, all of that type of stuff. I just, I don't think. Where your mouth is.

What are we betting? because I'm not buying this BS that you're selling me. Stake, steak, steak, steak, steak. Okay, how about this? Dinner at Caesar Steakhouse, and I get two baskets of the cheese toast. He's going to say double cheese toast. Done.

Yeah. And so the reason you would believe in Nashville is because the roster is better than the results. And guys aren't playing up to, like, can Stamcoast be better? Is that a crazy thought? Yeah. Yeah, Marshall should be better. Is that crazy? Saros absolutely has tons of room to be better.

He's not been anywhere anywhere in your way. I agree. I agree. Like, I think they're ceiling. they haven't reached their where they can get to that's not like oh that's as good as they can play i guess they're not good jumped the gun on trying to get be better than they are by bringing those guys in i've said that since the start so it's easy for me to i don't disagree that but it doesn't mean that they can't be a bubble team right like they could yeah but what do you okay so i don't think

it's good moves i agree you guys are okay well they're going to be better than they are whole what a statement no no no no no then my statement is they're a playoff team they're a playoff team that's my statement. I don't like I don't know who comes out. That's not you hear trots talk the other day. Well, yes. How long is he given though? But you know what? It was a shot across the bow saying like, you guys get your act together here or I'll do the, you know, I'm going to do another step what I did last year with, you know, pulling the party in Vegas or whatever at the sphere. To me, it's like, okay, you guys want to act like this? Then I'll flush it down the toilet and we'll start over here. But I don't think there's no way he can do that based on all the no,

move clauses who you just signed all of that type of stuff it was just basically him saying like smarten up here like let's and i'm sure if he's saying it publicly guaranteed he's walk into that dressing room and said get your head out of your asses let's get going here yeah i'm not to get too block down in nashville because we'll jump back to the flames here but they were a playoff team already last year and then you added you spent 100 million or whatever it is and now it's i think they can get back to where they already were before you sign these guys i would guess probably the plan was to improve. Totally.

Not replicate. Anyway, getting back to the flames, we kind of, you know, before you came on, Red was, you know, the trade for a center happened about 90 seconds before you got on the feed. Yes, I was listening. It was a fresh take for sure. You know what? You have those revelations in your brain and it just, don't.

I know. Okay. So, okay, let's just, let's go over the roster who played last night, okay, for the Calgary Flames. Now, correct me if I'm wrong. Was it Ball, Uyghur, Bean, Anderson, Miramanov, and Paschal? Bahal, yeah. Pahal, whatever.

That's the six. A weird one. They play the most. That's the most common group of six. Okay. So, Barry in and out for Bean now and then, that's about the only change you see. Right. Barry's, you know, Barry is what he is, right?

Yeah. Powerful. So is that a defensive core that you're growing with, that you love, that you feel? They are good. I'm telling you right now, that's the defensive core that plays solid in front of the guy that's in the pipes. Okay. He's allowing as good as Wolf is. They know what they have to do to make his job easier, and they're doing just that.

That's all they are. They're a stopgap. They're not going to be game changing. They're just going to do their job. Yeah, they're, they're NHL defensemen that are wearing jerseys. But there's two, I mean, Anderson, I love Uighur, I think, is a really, quality player. The other four, they play in the street. Like I agree with you. I think the other, like Miramano was an eight last year and it's hardly played the last two years in Vegas.

Like you just was a scrap heap guy. I just say I mean. And Bean was available for peanuts and has been healthy. Barry, nobody wanted. He showed up on a PTO. Hanley was on waivers last year. Like we understand that. But like ball was a piece that I think the flame strategically really went at. You know you have a young goal that you really want to give a good chance to. He's good at really one thing and that's defending. There's no offense. He's not an incredibly super mobile or amazing puck mover, but he's really good at shot suppression. When he's on the ice, there's not a lot of shots against your goalie. That's his strength. That's a very strong. Let me ask you. Let me ask you then. So when the dust settles and he reaches his potential

at the national hockey league level, where does he play? Is he a first pair? It's a four, five. but the championship team is probably five. So he's a five. Yeah, and a non-contentary's probably four. So he was a four or five. Okay. Nice player.

Right. Nice player. He's the pace bad in the trade. You got a first plus this guy. Okay. And Miramanov, what is that? That's a tougher question. I don't know what the hell he is.

I'm asking the defenseman. What's the defenseman got to say about me or manoff? He doesn't like Mirman. I've, we actually, Pinder, prior to you today, I'd never hear a, Mernov's name said except Pinder talking about him and that's fine with me because guess what you've said it I know it I lived it if you don't hear a defenseman's name

he's doing his job if you can play a guy in the top four and you don't notice and he's making a buck and a quarter my thought is like it's probably okay then that's what it's that we're hoping for Mirmanov not we some people were hoping for Miramanov to be better than is. He just is what he is, and it's fine. You're not hearing about him. It's not Zorov. They end up being kind of the same thing because Zadorov would make unbelievable plays, unbelievable impact on a game, and then soil himself, and they'd be in your net, and you're like, what's that? To me,

the door off is too high event for what he is. So, you're a man off is zero event. Right. But I mean, that's good. You'll, you, for me on a defensive core, you can only have like one of them. Oh. Oh. They have like three of them. They have like two for sure, maybe a three. It's all being an animal, so let's get away from that then. Are you upset with?

If Rhett's happy with the defensive corps, then you look at the forwards, okay? The Lamborghini, we all love, you know, the guy brings energy, all of that type of stuff. This Kirkland seems to be a nice story. Everybody loves him. You know who he is?

He's greener. Really? Josh Green? Yes. Comes in. Everybody loves them, having a hell of a time, tackling the mascot. Yeah.

So, and Rooney is a, you know, Rooney's a player that's thick. Like I just think of he's a NHL player, skate, all of that. Coronado, I like. He's got jam. He's a player. You know, Backland, backs we love, obviously can play

in every situation. And Coleman. Pullman's a winner. I think Coleman It's a guy who can help a team. So now you're a third line, right? That's a great third line. It's a good third line. It's a little nervous about. Shush.

Well, now we're starting to look above the third line, your top six, right? If we just went through the bottom six, the guys that I just named, you know, good, looks good. Like, looks good, sounds good, all of that. Like, that third line I really like. I think that's, you know, with Coleman, Backlund, and Coronado. Like, that's a good third line. This got a little bit of everything. Really solid.

Really? So Pospisal, is that how I'm pronouncing his name? You got it. Cadry and Kuzmenko. Trustworthy? Nope. You know, is that a line that you put up against? Nope.

A lot of other second lines of, you know, the 10 best teams in the NHL. Well, I got to look. If you laid on top of it on top of. each other. So Nazim Kadri is horseshit is what you're doing. No, I'm not saying that. But I'm saying as a combination of the three, if I laid those three or let's do the whiteboard, Darryl Sutter always used to do the whiteboard. So take a look at your matchups, right? There's the lineup here. There's their lineup. Here's our lineup. You've got to match up who you do, who you play against, okay? So if I'm laying pospso, Cadry, Kuzmenko,

Pick a contending team. Stop. Can I stop you for one second? Yes. Why is that the second line? Well, is that your first line? Maybe it's my third line. I liked it better as your second line.

Maybe Coleman Backland and Coronado. Or my second one. But then, okay, that's the equivalent of Lowry, Niederrider, and Appleton in Winnipeg. And I would take Winnipeg's third line over that. I didn't say we were winning the cup today. I'm just saying take 10 teams and lay that those lines beside each other. You're proving my point for me, buddy.

I'm just telling you. That's all you're doing right now. You are 100% proven my point for me. How am I proving your point? I'm just saying. You're going through the lineup and what you're saying is they're not quite there. So my connefeited needs to go out and get me a centerman. And now my slotting is unbelievable.

and we can go up against any team because I got the goalie. Okay, so where's Connor Zeri's slot then? First line center? That's why I'm traded for a center. I know. Are you trading Zeri in that transaction? No. We're watching hot goaltending and now we're trying to look at the lineup and say it's

good enough. The lineup's nowhere near good enough. This is hot goaltending, fellas. 950 goaltending, you can win every now. Okay, if you're in 950, you're beating everyone. 950 goal tending keeps everybody out of the video room going. You know, if the Oilers had 950 goaltending against the Toronto Maple Leafs the other day, nobody pays attention to Evan Bouchard trying to throw a 100-foot pass across the ice

and he hits McDavid in the ass and it drops down. Like a check on that goal. Well, yeah, that's that's the other one. I'm talking, I'm watching, and I watch this Bouchard play live last night. I did that game and man, he is, you want to talk about high event. This guy is crazy. Look, I cut myself. Okay, what's up?

Stick to the flames and finish what you're trying to say. So you're going through the lineup. You don't have to go through everybody's name anymore. So what are you telling us? What I'm saying is get off the bandwagon. No, no. I'm saying look at it for what it is, is exactly what Pender's saying. You've got a great goaltending and you've got something there, some magic.

So let it play out. And you don't have to start making moves 20 games into the season. Because what if you make a move and it disrupts the apple cart? It actually kills the mojo. I think it's better to do it now than later because now you've got time to incorporate that guy. He's going to hang out with Kerkie and Lombo. I want to see Karnasari grow. I want to see him get better.

What are you going to take them out of the lineup? Take one of the other skids out. Isn't Kirk? Yeah. But my point is, is what is the currency that you're trading for this top line? It's not all kinds of currency. I think you're getting punked here, noodles. He's really putting a lot of weight in this argument we haven't heard all year or for the last two years.

It's just dawned on me. Well, let me ask you this, though. I mean, along that path, if they are going to be a wild card or better team for another two, three, four weeks, when does it shift? Because I have to think that Conroy and everybody, this is a rebuild. if not a rebuild, there are no expectations. Let's get some youth into the lineup. Let's get Wolf integrated into the number one spot. Let's just go and play and let these guys do their thing.

When does that potentially shift to, well, we're right there. We have a bunch of draft picks and that. For me, it's the deadline. Probably not all of them are going to be used on players we're going to use. Maybe we can do something with this team. For me, everyone says, okay, American Thanksgiving, you are what you are, but not with a young team. You are what you are with you're a contender and you're trying to add to it.

But I say, I agree. I think you're looking at the trade deadline and going, we're going to have to move a few players because of their contracts and we're just going to, you know, move off of them or move them for the sake of doing it. That's where you make a decision. Like I would make the- - So do what everybody else does and hope that you're just- But I would make the argument, rat, that if they were in this,

position at the deadline and everything had fallen into place. That's and Kuzmenko looks like he's, he's a piece of this like that, you can't move that guy. That's when you use the term own rent, own rental. You're like, okay, we're just going to let it play out because, you know what, we've found something here. But I just, I think there's too many question marks. I think you just let this play out because what happens if, you know,

Dusted Wolf is playing great and then all of a sudden he goes through a dip. And then you got Dan Vladar who's played very well or cool. Yeah, that's true. Coolie. Nice. Now, Bladar, you're probably going to have to move for a piece,

right? Now we're dismantling again. You guys are, no, but what you're doing is being a good manager and managing your assets. Like that's the thing. You could probably change your thought process on certain things. But there's certain players that you could probably

bet money that they are out the door regardless of this team is in first place or in last place. And I think maybe Vladar might be one of them based on what he's worth, right? Wow, and what Kooli's done too. And Wolf, like the whole combination

of it makes him very much expensive. So then where you nip around the edges is like, okay, you know, what would Kuzmanko get you at the deadline if you feel like now? Zero. Right.

I'm up right now. But if he doesn't give you, but here's a guy who's playing on your second line. I thought, you know, you've got to be a mainstay, but he's not going to get you anything. So then we probably would keep him if you,

if you're going. But I guess that's my point is if he doesn't have much value right now. You're sitting here telling me that the team that's way eight points behind them is going to make the playoffs because they went and spent a bunch of money. With the eight points, it's playing better and has the goaltender. And we're don't. Okay.

So why don't we do this thing? At the end of the, like, let's choose a drop dead date where the, where the decision on Calgary or Nashville, who's in a better position for the steak dinner? When are you out here? Well, I know,

in December. There you go. We should have a steak dinner then. And then if it happens later and we meet and we happen to be in the same city, We'll do it again. Okay. So I'm out there in December because the Ottawa is there, December, what is it, 19th or something like that?

December 19th, Thursday, 7 p. Yeah. So I'm there. I'm calling that game. So that night or the night before? Probably not the night of that. That's acting a game calendar. I don't know.

Night after something like that because I think I come in that morning. That's a good time. That's right around Christmas. So that we'll have a lot of clarity. That's the thing. So we let's pick up. this argument, see where we are December 19th, where Nashville

is, where Calgary is. I mean, I'm goofing and I was, but there will come a point where the Conroy's going to be, the boss is going to phone and say, close. Plans change? I love home playoff. The plans change?

And you guys know where that that, you know, the big, big boss, the owner. Yes. Yeah. So Murray, I mean, no, We just talked about. Yeah, yeah.

Guaranteed, you know, that ownership loves to win and they like money. So there you go. So there, if there is, if they're close, there is a mandate to probably, you know, not mess with that. But I would think you're looking at the bigger picture, too, as, okay, can we have the best of both worlds? I don't even know what that means. That's, I think that's what he's going to try and threads that needle. He's that I still don't think in anyone's world, Conroy, Malone,

Murray Edwards, us thought that this is where the flames would be sitting 20 games into the year. No. So I mean, pleasantly surprised I guess, but I mean, isn't that what you you know, you drafted, developed, you know, you bring like a guy like, I 100%. I'm not, you know I'm bullshit. I'm just saying that they're, it's going to happen. They.

And it should happen. If they're in a position, and Wolf is playing the way he's playing, and the defense are doing what they need to do and only what they need to do, and you think that if you add, you've competed with two games, right? But there's got to be that four or five games skid somewhere in this.

Of course, the guys are not going to get this kind of goaltending all year. No one does. Like, you're talking about 950, even strength goal, goaltending. And we looked on the flip. not lasting. Jamie, they're scoring two goals a night. They scored four goals, their last three starts and Wolfe had three wins. Like those are not wins. Those are goalies stealing points.

This is not a sound roster. This is a goalie on a heater. Where is, I looked leading up to yesterday, but goals saved above expectation. I see those different everywhere. That's not a universal stat. Like, but he's. So I get. 10, like upper third of the league for start. Yeah. So I get, I get it sent to me every morning at 4 a.m. from sport logic. Yeah, I like the clear site stuff better for goaltending,

but I mean, it's much more subjective on goalies than other stats. The goal saves tricky. I think ClearSight, which is Steve Valakette's company, they're fantastic. I think they are the cream of the crop. I also like sport logic because of their data points too. But I'll look at the other ones online. They're not as, to me, they're just like data scraped from the,

the websites and stuff. I don't, I don't, I don't put much stock in them, to be honest. Yeah. So point being, like, we all know he's been good. We all know he's on a heater. He's stopping way more pucks than he should. And the team now has Rhett convinced they're good because the goal he's on a heater. He's presenting.

Yeah, he's having fun. No, I mean, it's, it's, it's fun watching the win and Wolf's been great. There's a lot of warts here. And not to get into it, but the power play is no good. They've scored two first period goals this month. I mean, it's, there's a lot of high-paid forwards. They do need help for sure. But it's, yeah, it's a lot of the goaltending and defensive play right now.

What else is going on around the league? We don't. I mean, injuries, man. That OV had 15 goals and then Jack McBain just collides with him. It's such a weird. What a weird play, you know. McBain. McBain.

Well, actually, I don't know if you saw that because now, I didn't notice because I looked at the hit when it happened. but then yesterday somebody did a little bit of extra work here and i don't know if you can see it here on this shot oh it's actually it was actually way wayne a little protective of the uh of the record after all here we were told that he was all for it but i think i think i think ovi o miss a couple weeks and to be back that guy's a horse like he he tried skating it off too i bet he blew his knee out he skated it off like he he was trying to skate it off i was watching. I'm like, this guy's trying to shake

off a knee injury. I'm not convinced that my most favorite Ovechkin moment was him on the bench in Vegas when he just took the slapper off the on the face. Right off the bean. Well, on the face. Nothing. I mean,

you're not going to make him uglier, but you're certainly like he's just the beast. Like, I just I don't know, that guy is aren't we some training this summer, Dean? Yeah, we saw him. Massive boiler. playing volleyball. He's doing him.

He's just got up on the puck. You know what? Like before the political stuff came in, like he was a very likable guy. Like, think about it. Like, he was such a big personality when him and Sid came in because Sid's not a big personality, right? Like, he was the guy who was at the ESPN commercials. Remember he was golfing?

He got a hole in one. Like there's like, you didn't even know how to hit a golf club. Like it just, he's, he's pretty funny guy. I don't know again. I don't know him that well. I've crossed the pass with him a few times. I was at a party with him. He showed up with a bunch of his buddies.

They drank every ounce of alcohol, every ounce of vodka in that building. It was ridiculous. My buddy had to order more up. It was, but those guys are, you know, he's,

I'd like to see it. The Matthews thing, I think is weird too. Like, it just got released. You flew to Germany. Germany. The Germans.

Do we have things you press release on that? Is it that alarming? Like, we've seen this a lot. where guys just go to their specialists where they're over there in the world. I don't know. Saying something is even odd to me.

For me, a specialist is in like New York City, you know, a specialist is in, hey, there's a, you know, like, you're not outside of flying to Turkey for a hair transplant. I don't see people going to Europe. Like, it just is that I think what it is is it caught people off guard going,

okay, the germas are known for like stem cell, like type of stuff. So like, is that? what's going on like i i don't know like it just it's a weird weird that one kind of and and i think tree was just like oh yeah you know still on schedule and like okay this guy in skating and he's in germany like that's that kind of came out of left field yesterday um you know the league you know bouncing around the league it's just it's weird there's been some some injuries and some weird stuff going on what's the deal with demko what's the deal like is this is he done well i was going to

You guys were talking about Nashville and that. I mean, now Miller is gone from the team. They've already, their home record, what did they fall to last night? Because they were beaten by the Rangers. They were three of 11 home games. And Dempco is in the ether somewhere. I don't, I've never heard.

So I've been, you know, tracking that. You talk to people in Vancouver, they know the exact muscle that he's identified. It's like that, you know, flux capacitator of his knee. Right. And I'm like, and they're like, oh, no, you know, no, no athletes ever had this injury before. You're like, okay, but like, and then you get updates like talk or talk is going, yeah, he had a good practice today.

Like, you're like, oh, my God, like that's what you're getting for updates. It's like, this guy's got to, you know. Yeah, the anterior post, uh, bunch of pastor is. Just so, you know, you got Jack. He laughed out loud. I don't know if you could hear him, but you got Jack that one. So well done. Well, I don't, I'm just my point being, I just don't know what it is, but it's scary because he had the same injury in the playoffs where he was one practice away.

It's going to go on a year. It is the same injury. It is not healed. It's like, how long does this take? But that's the scary part. He was one practice away. He's one practice away from one practice away. Like you're like, okay, what's going on?

And, you know, they Lankin and had a nice start there, but like what's happened? he's come back down to earth and sheloff is a you know he was there three now he's there two like it's i feel bad for them because you know when it rains and pores and now nobody saw the j t miller stuff coming and i don't know what that is and you hope he's all right but it just uh you know they could be in one and besser is out yeah like you just you look through the league now last night i don't it's something to track hyman wasn't on the power play at the end of the game and i i don't know if he got nicked up. You're talking oilers now? Yeah.

Yeah, okay. So right, the last power play of the game, they put Perry there instead of Hyman and Hyman, I don't think it took a shift the rest of the game. So it might be some, so you're talking about injuries throughout the league and then some weird stuff like Pittsburgh. I don't know what the hell's going on in Pittsburgh. Well, they're just not good. I mean, this is the whole thing. We all know what's happening here. Yeah, but everyone's waiting for the coach to get fired. They're not good and they still don't get enough saves. So Jim Montgomery has had in 200 games, Boston Bruins, he's had 41 losses. Can't coach the team. Sorry, you're the problem. I'm like, oh, my God. Like, what are you doing here?

And, and like, listen, I don't mind, like, Boston, they're savages. Like, we, everyone talks about, you think, like, look at Vegas. Vegas is like, doesn't matter. Mark, on your flagship player, get the hell out of here. Marcia's so, out you go. Like, it just doesn't matter. Like, you know, coach Peter DeBore, love you, out the door. Like Boston's got a little bit of that cutthroat. Bruce Cassidy, no, out you go.

Cassidy goes and wins. Like now Montgomery's a great coach. He's known as a great coach, too. Like I talked to a lot of people in the coaching circles. They're like, this guy's an unbelievable, like, a savant as far as, like, vision and stuff. And I'm not good enough. So I don't know, but that's why I think that that might spark that group and maybe wake them up a little bit. Because Swamen wasn't stopping enough pucks. Pastor Nack's not scoring enough.

Marchand looks like he had three surgeries in the offseason, which is fair. He did. And to Montgomery's credit, I guess. I mean, he tried to coach. He got into it with Marchand. He benched Pastor Nack. He took McAvoy off the power play. I mean, he tried to do things to get things going and they just did not respond.

Well, we'll see if they get a new coach bump, right? You see if they get that. And they're only one game under 500. It's all kind of lumped up in the Atlantic anyway. So, you know, you're, if they, they probably felt they do it early enough so that they can save their season. That's probably what they're thinking. Yeah, I don't think anyone was hanging this on Montgomery so much as like something's dysfunctional though. You need a fresh start.

Yeah, it's weird. But there's lots going on in the league. Like, you know, I just, I'm even like, who's stopping Pucks for Carolina? like Freddie Anderson's out like Rod, that just quietly, Rod Brindamore goes, yeah, he's week to week, you know, like week to week. Every year, though, that's not new. That doesn't slow them down.

At some point, you've got to go, I think Carolina, I watched them the other night, they're a hell of a team. They just need stability in that position. So it's like, okay, we, we can trust what's like a guy wants to play or can play for us nightly. Spencer Martin gets a shut out the other night,

but he's not your answer. When they got that cochette cough, like, he's young and I just, I don't trust him as a clear one. So there's lots of, like, good teams. There's lots of things going on. Maybe they come after Dan Vladdar. You never know. Good.

Yeah. They come up. Well, and, you know, maybe because what, Joe Sacco is the interim there in Boston. Yeah. Well, we found, we found a pick. Uh-oh. Mike Keenan might be available because it looks like,

because you talked about. Keenan, has he officially retired? The Sacco's probably just holding this spot, right? Yeah, I mean, because they found, there he is. Behind that. Did that not look like Keenan? Oh, my God, it looks like one of those AI face melds. Ah, my brain hurts.

That's what was sent to me. I woke up to that in my, my group chat, not my group chat, just my, what is that called, WhatsApp with Shipper. That's it. I have never interacted with Oliokin. I cannot imagine that's a normal human. Like he seems like an absolute wild card. Guys like him, right?

He's a good guy. Yeah, he's a good guy. Yeah, he's funny. He's actually pretty funny. That is full Keenan. I just don't know how you trust the guy that goes, takes it right to the wood when you can grow. That's what I mean. That's weird.

You know what it is? It's arrogant. It's cocky. It's like, I know I can grow it back. Yeah, not worried about it. Like Iggy always claimed that that he shaved his head. and then I saw him on TV the other day getting interviewed and I'm like, oh, no, no, no, that part would never grow back.

That is not. No, that's Seinfeld right there. Yeah, that's what it is. That was LeBron too, right? Didn't he have? Oh, LBJ. He had help. He had, he had, he was like Elon Musk.

It was like back here and all the sudden. Daniel, the granite. There's nothing. And then all of a sudden it's flush. In the Granville, that's right. He had a salad on the river apparently. He had no chance. And then he had a, it was flush.

He had a full wig. He won the World Championship of hair replacement. That's what you did. Yes, you have the bracelet and everything. Flight to Turkey. Appreciate you, James. All right. Get that tree figured out.

Tree is good. And you guys believe this or not? That's, I do like that shirt. It's, it's right on the nose. It's a freebie. It's a freebie. Free 99. Yeah.

Shocker. See you, buddy. See you later. There it is. Stock the, bridges he's here in a month. There you go. That's the insider hotline of presentation

of Crystal Waters, plumbing, and heating your crystal clear choice for home comfort. 403, 219, 4,100, or check them out at Crystal Clear Calgary.com. Got into you. It dawned on me. I thought you dropped acid. That was the craziest thing. It was 10 minutes. Are you going crazy?

You caught fire right when we with a guest? It dawned on. Yeah. You ever have something dawn on you? It doesn't happen. It doesn't happen very often. So you've got to really embrace it when it I do you guy. I don't know if I like that idea.

We got a center. 900 goal. Shit, we still suck. Yeah. No way. No, look, I think the point you're making is totally real if it's the spring. Here's the other question, though. Can the goaltending, no.

But what's the floor? It's not going to go to 875, I don't think so. But you lose the last three games if you don't have 950. You've scored four goals your last three wolf starts. Yeah. You've scored four. shouldn't win any of those in the NHL. That's what a good goalie does for you.

It's what an exceptional goalie allows you to do, no question. And so if Wolf is Mika 2.0, everything changes. You add at the deadline for sure, but you can't be calling anyone Mika 2.0 in November. You're going to get a long runway here. He's been great. And I don't want to take anything away from what he's done. It's been awesome. It'd be great to go back.

He's better than Mika. Just make it. Mika didn't win a bunch of. I said he's playing great. You said we're putting pressure on. I'm calling Mika, better than Mika. The HL, the WHL, and the... He's done drugs today.

You know what, you are? Your bucket tipper. You're tipping the bucket right now. I'm not tipping nothing. You kind of are. I'm filling the bucket. Are you? My confident.

I can't even say. Good, good word. Connie. Fine, don't get a center and squandered peak pain. Where to go, Craig? No, no, no. Not peak pain. You were at the game.

Yep. And aside from, I mean, the hell did you go to the game for? The crowd. It's wrong with it. Pro sports. Why would I go to a game? This was a punishment. Well, I was going to say, it was dead for 40 minutes.

And then the third was lively. Yeah. Especially the second half when it was a game. They started to move in the third at least. Well, and you get the big saves early that brings people to life. And you're like, shit. Like, he's keeping them in this. They don't really have any business being in this game at this point.

If two of those go in, it's three nothing. Like, just go. Yeah. I was going to say, you do this show every day and you talk for hours at a time and it will change. But the concerns that you had for Wolf, are you going to handpick starts and how many can you get? Because you don't want to, the D is going to be so bad.

You don't want to blow out his confidence and all this sort of thing. The forwards probably be all right. The offense would be there. Holy Christ, do you guys want to pick it up a little bit? There's a lot of guys who are either zero in the goal column or a single. won over the last 7, 8, 10, 12 games. Even here, I was got six, but like kind of lost in all of this, so much focus on how great Wolf's been and the defense or whatever.

But if Wolf, go ahead. Like Sharon Govich, Cadry, Kuzmiko has one goal. Like, these are big money, high level guys that are not doing anything. Because Michael scored at a 40-goal pace since his arrival in Vancouver. He scored 39 in his first year in the NHL. Outside of being coached by Rick Tockett, he's been a guy that scored it essentially a 39, to 40 goal pace. Like, there's nothing like that.

Now, I get a snake bitten and he's going to get some better luck. You know, the shooting percentage is unsustainably bad, but he's not been a dynamic scorer. It's all right. But hell of a movement. And he makes that one spinnerama backhand sauce to weed two bodies on the tape. And you're like, that should be a turnover every time. How does he do it?

And yet he's that one goal. But the, the, if Wolf's going to come back to Earth a little bit, can't we expect that those guys are going to. Yeah, sure. And the power play can be better. Improve somewhat, too? Yeah. I know.

So maybe you score six goals in your last three games instead of four. You might still lose all three, right? You might still win all three. If you're getting the good goal to inning, you are, yeah. Even if your goal tenet isn't quite as good. My whole thing is this is just all the goalies right now. I think it's an organized hardworking group that does not have a lot of skill. And the goalies have been.

I've played on teams that have been a goal away from winning a Stanley Cup because of that. Goalie. Yeah. No, I'm with you. And so if this team's there at the end of Feb, absolutely, you go bolster. This save in the third, the Islander's head coach is Patrick Waugh. Pat Roy? That's right.

Did he play? Do you have? He did. Wouldn't he got man? I don't have that. So he might know a thing or two about being young, getting thrust into the league, playing well, being young and taking a team into the playoffs into. Expectations, prospect, all that.

He commended, he said that he specifically said in the third period, the save off of Palmieri is a hell of a save. And this is it as it goes back door. And again, I can't. It looks routine. But I feel like as you watch this, Wolf is moving to his left. Look at where his eyes are.

He's not looking at Palmieri at all. He's trying to look around the defender to find this point. shot look where his eyes are yeah and he somehow gets square and somehow knows that it's there it's going to be a one-timer and just scoops the puck up and oh he's square to it he's not all big deals right like and how and that's the thing to get square on that puck that quick it's meka ask hey that lateral movement you're the goalie golly god dad dad i watched meika play that's all i'm saying i watched he can move laterally and made saves he had no business making and they made them look routine that's that's what this guy's turn out of score i've got it written down just in case it

you guys always add a score is always to my ideas slash center and then oh oh i don't think you're right we have been skeptical of some of your philosophy decades yeah it's been a long time there's it's changes in the weather in calgary it's like yeah out of score tear it all down fire the coach love the sky. You have to support what you, the players are doing. You got to give them a bit of a boost. Oh,

you guys are going to listen to your coach and work hard and your goaltending is going to be good and we're a goal away from being in first place. Oh, I won't do anything. I, what's that, Murray? Like, too bad.

The, uh, noodles talked about middle ground. Like, is there meat in the middle. Like, there is a world where you trade downblot on not for pick. It's for like you go find a team needs a goal and you go find a 23 year old on a

depth chart that you can think can play the middle. It could play today. Like it doesn't have to be UFAs go out and picks come in. It can be players. We saw that with the Tofoli deal. Sharon Gov, which is a more important piece than the third rounder, soon he was playing well, but they're not all just futures deals, right? He's added roster players on a lot of these deals. Miramano was just a throwing guy. He's playing tough for you don't notice him. He makes nothing. That's a good ad. Like he's not a star he's not great but if you play top four for a buck in a quarter and not get noticed that's a really nice add into a deal that has a first to the top power play t he what a high end defenseman like power play special yeah go get carlson hey there's a high end guy

lots of gas friends kind of call me yeah call us up not that we don't have connie fitness in you but call us separately because there's just so many different ideas yeah Or just listening to the show, I guess. Didn't you get it all. I know that the lady in his life, she is a watcher, listener. She is confidence. I think she does have connoffidence for sure and Craig. As we all should.

And she would know best. As we all should. 19 games in playoffs. Didn't think we'd be having this conversation for sure. Of all the things we'd talk about. Well, we aren't going to talk about the Islander's game last son. I can tell you that. Yeah, it was.

He survived the first 40. And to go back to yesterday's conversation. Peace and where's in two years from now, what does that team look like? Old. It's not like they've got good. They have Sorokin, which is lovely, but they're just, they don't have kids. Like Wallstrom and Brand and who's the other youngster? Matt Martin can keep playing.

Walstrom. Holmstrom. They do, they do squeeze all of the life out. Like you were talking about Bolton. Like he played right till the end. Cal Clutterbuck, they got every ounce out of him. the same with Sazikas and Martin right now. Lee, Pajou,

uh, Brock Lobster, like, there's a loyalty. That's Lou. Can you imagine trying to sell tickets there? When the Rangers are like 20 minutes away, and it's like Fox,

Zabinajad, Panera, Lafrenier, Truba, Chasturkin, and like, oh yeah, you could come watch. Anders Lee scored 20 again.

The Brock. He's a good player. It's just, there's nothing sexy about that team. You saw it last night. What is sexy about the Islanders? You saw the unsexy goalie, but they're not bad, but there's nothing sexy. It was okay.

But yeah, there's not a. And so if Sorokin can give them 925, they'll probably be an eight or a nine seed there. Like you say, if you go up to the, what is it, IBS, you hear it about arena. And you're going to put two or three murals on the, on the outside of the islanders. Come and who is. It's Sorokan, Barzell, and I don't know. Dobson. Maybe.

Probably. Yeah. Yeah, probably. That's I almost, it's a money. Horvatt? Yeah, he's the captain. Horvatt would be in there. Yeah.

That's a nice player. Yeah. They're not bad, right? It's just their. What about us? So what about that? Yeah, there are. How old is you?

How old is you? How old? Probably too many and too old. Do you want a third? We have a lot of that, though, so it seems to fit. He's 29. You guys are. ignorant no i know but it's max term he'll have what six years left in that sorry no he's he's

good player time for the pender report i'm junk great oh i'm sorry i didn't mean to hit that i was changing all though in fairness right now i'm drunk right now i thought that was your calendar acid tabs you took before he stills told me when i started in this industry you got to have energy yeah you got to bring it yeah the rocket yeah bring the energy yeah You gotta get a, you know, bring up the energy there. Tinder report. Yeah. Brought to you by Village Honda.

From now till the end of the month, Village collecting non-perishable food items to fill a Honda. They got one in the showroom. Fill it up. Fill it up. Drop off your donation. Village will deliver it all. Take the whole smear to the Veterans Food Bank of Alberta. So great deals on great vehicles and great people.

I'm, uh, what you want. It takes on up there tomorrow. Tires. Yeah. Bullied his way in, waited to the... Suck on that! Who? Oh, yeah, what?

You all put this in danger, mate. All right, settled out. You didn't want to talk about this the other day you wanted to keep it. Well, apparently we talked about everything in the show, so let's fire it off. Let's go. Rhyndy, Ryan Pinda. Rhympin'o. Let's go.

Flames, victorious last night. Let's take a look. That's right. that's what Dustin Wolf was saying to all the haters look at that outfit it's a good kid it is a really good kit if you're posting a long time he's going to posting the other helmet not the I know yeah yeah

this is a very likable fellow and I'm sure many people are surprised by Dustin Wolf's performance can we think of one guy that's probably not surprised at all at how it's gone for Dustin Wolf yeah he's done this at every single level of hockey this ain't new here's this last five starts fellas 946 a shutout one fifth point five calls against and he somehow has an overtime loss in there that's the thing he is dragging this team to points every night he starts

it seems the dip is coming but how deeps the dip right is the dip 920 like because it's 945 it's a horrendous dip you've had it's a it's a meka dip remember he played poorly he'd let in like four and the next night you're like nothing goes in just you know wall yeah uh here uh here it is four normal goals their last three games well that's just not no it's a stat category out and not in the empty net like how play normal normal goals four goals their last three home games they've won them all yes that is indeed decimal that for match six and gasoline good tweet thank very much let's keep going oh dean you love some of this stuff we're going to really get into it for you um there's dust and wolf never mind the freaking rookie of the year rookie of the year

all the trophy. I'm doing it right now. 101. Don't buy coffee today. You'll have $4,500 in the spray. Well, man, I'm not going to guarantee that. That's a very large number. That's not right. No, I'm not doing it. Jinks.

Okay, sure. Dustin Wolf don't give a shit with you. He sure doesn't trust me. This is what Dean really loves. He doesn't like being jinksy pants. He loves diving into past draft classes. Yes, I do. Dustin Wolf's draft class. Obviously, these guys

know what I'm doing. Very excited. They're not leaving the best guys. for the end of the draft, they're picking them at the top of the draft. Here are all the goalies in the 2019 draft. Spencer Knight 13. His team made it two world juniors consecutively. His fellow American has been, well,

in and out of lineups, up and down. It's certainly not established himself as a number one. He is playing behind Sergey Bobrovsky. Didn't really play last year on the run. They had Stolars. Offi stuff. Okay, inconclusive, let's say. Piotr Kiotr Kv, we just talked about

with noodles. Good goalie. Not sure if he's the one. Mad Sogard came up, beat the flames. They got Christopher Gibson by him a couple of last year. Huge, talented. I don't know if he's any good. Hunter Jones, don't know you. Eric Portillo, who? Great sandwiches at Portillo's. Ilia, Cona Lavala, kind of not going to work here anymore. Draft by the Oilers, that's tough. All those guys. And then this guy, four picks from the end of the draft. Dean, you're the draft guru. Please walk us through this.

It's a good pick. you back to me uh back to you standings are as such we showed you them earlier flames out of the wild card darn where did they slide to no they've moved up to the top three in the pacific and are now point out of first Vegas holds a game in hand they're tied with identical records with the kings who they beat right what do you think when you see that yeah ret get a center get a center yeah look at one bloody point if we were going to say start of the season going into night number one on November the 20th, the flames are going to be one point out of blank. 10th.

Basement. Right? What would you have said? Not lead of division lead. Not out of chance. Whole playoff game. One point from tops in the division, three points from being out of the playoffs. It is a tight pack in the Pacific, friends.

There is no Winnipeg running away. Interesting. And you noted with Vancouver. All of a sudden, there's some adversity they're going to be faced here. They have not gotten good goal to any. They don't have them go to go two of their best. forwards. Patterson playing better, but yeah, not out of the woods. So they're not playing so well that they don't want to

rush Demko back, you know what I mean? Uh, we'll keep going. Schedule. Schedule. What do they got? Two more on the four game homestand. I could pick a rat there. They just flashed them. They're done with the New York Islanders. They want to have the New York Rangers. That's one of the great goaltending battles of all time. She's Sturkin against Wolf. Let's go. And then The wild 2 o'clock on a Saturday. And Gustafson's been sensational. Maybe the best goalie in the NHL this year.

So some interesting opponent net minors coming up. Then they hit the road. They'll play four in a row, Ottawa, Detroit, Columbus, Pittsburgh. The Columbus one's going to be the emotional one. That's a one o'clock Friday start. Do you worry about playing him too much that he plays so well you can't take him out? That's kind of what we're watching, isn't it? Once they stopped alternating, they have stopped alternate.

What's that Kipper record? It's probably too late already. 71 starts, 72 starts. We already played too many games. 74 starts. Tough to get to. But seriously, where you're like, well, if he goes, like, you can't take him out. Okay, I get it.

And if he plays the next game and gives up one and you win. Oh, it's the best kind of problem you could ever have, right? It's the meek it probably had no four. That's the point you're getting to, I know. You're not going to not play him every game. Yeah. Obviously. Why?

This is such a silly conversation. It really is. They've got two very good teams. They're winning and he's the reason. How do you take them out? You don't. If they keep winning, you keep playing them. Eastern standings.

Rangers have been good. They, in the metro, well, 25. So again, look how tight is. There are two points from leading the division with a game in hand sitting in a wild card. Odd. Washington, Carolina, New Jersey and them all in a clump, separate four teams separate by two points.

So they're playing for stuff here. yesterday Jim Montgomery got axed. We talked about it with noodles. It's incredible. He's been nothing but a very, very winning coach. It was an off-ice issue that never got publicized. That ended his stint in Dallas.

Took some time away. Came back. It was great with the Bruins. How good? Well, Frank Baum, Dean. In 184 games, he lost just 41 times. And ready to... Frank Baum, Frank Baum, it's a Frank bomb.

It's not really a Frank bomb. It's just, yeah, 41 regulation losses in 184 games. That's 120, 41 and 23. The points percentage, Jack, 715 did I see? Put it back up. 715. Yeah, 715. Listen, Jim, we're going to have, we got to meet with you.

We've got to talk. Jim, we have a performance review. If you don't mind sitting down. It's like, guys. Bob's in from consultants. Have a seat here. The goalie's got an 800 safe percentage. Fellas.

What are we doing? We told Jim to go a net. He wouldn't do it. Had to fire him. Listen, Jim, if you can't get to goal, tending to be better. You got to let you go. There's a lot here, but there's some good stuff.

This is from Donald's Gishon. The team's latest effort against Columbus, a likely lottery team that stormed into Boston and trounce them 5-1, was already their fifth lost this year by four or more. That's as many as they've had in the last 202 regular season games, and maybe the biggest red flag that the Bruins might be done. Sometimes good teams lose. Sometimes good teams lose big, but good teams do not lose this big,

this often, this early. They've made the playoffs in eight straight. That's it. And they've only averaged less than three big losses a year. They have five already. 20 games in. Are the Bruins done? This is the question, friends.

Good, hopefully. Okay. It's Bruins. I'm worried about it. Get the sabers in there, hey? You know, the other thing you're seeing is already the, what have we done? Yep.

With Lindholm. Well, look, it's Lindholm and it's Cedorov. And if you asked fans in Calgary, of Vancouver, what's the level of surprise of this? Zero. Correct. Yeah. I don't know what the Bruins were watching, but the contracts they gave out to those guys are not UFA wins.

Not signing Lindholm is like, that's like Craig signing a good center. It's his internal rental. That's right. It's, you know, we're better by not having him here. The hell you're talking about, damn right. Damn right. Imagine if you've forked over nine for fear of,

and still we're not good. Have some conifidence. that he's not an idiot. Like this guy. But this is what we get back to the Bruins. What did they think they were buying with these two? And did they really think spending the amount of money they spent in free agency, which is basically like walking into bear traps,

try not to get your leg snapped off. But okay, now I have to headbutt you a little bit because you don't like the traditional way of doing business, free agency. But on that, you say that, but then on the other hand, you're like, wait until the trade deadline to go pick someone up, which never works out either. No, I'm not. What do you mean?

With the flame. In 2004 is a similar spot, hot goalie. You waited later in the season. You had Chris Simon, you had Ville Neiman, and who else did you add? Yeah, but those were nice. Those were nice. Roll players. You don't need a role player.

So that didn't help you? How to get the deadline? I thought those were really big pieces for you guys. I don't think those were that. Okay. What about the addition of To Foley? That was an early. That was December?

That was an early trade. My point being, why you poo-poo, and rightfully so. So we poo-poo free agency. And we have disdain for, we get excited about trade deadline acquisitions, but very rarely are they a good piece of business. But let's follow the traditions of the way everyone's done business. I'm sick. Get outside the box. I don't mind you being outside the box.

You're getting very macro on me. I'm just saying, like, the Bruins had maybe the greatest UFA signing in the history of the game. Zanachara was actually big money UFA that was a huge win. That again comes back to Ottawa being idiotic, more Ottawa on Ottawa than the Bruins being brilliant. Is there a bit of this? It's not just probably not even good comparable. I was going to say San Jose, where you have to have some, what are we?

Are we good or we not good? We were the best regular season team two years ago last year, maybe some bad luck. Virgiln's gone. There's a center. We can get a setter. We're good. We're still good. Look, we're even better on paper.

And it's, you're too close to it. Noodles said it. That is a cutthroat team and they are trying to do the right stuff. But I don't know if I'm going to fire. And to Red's point, like with Nashville, it's not easy to have very big minute players come into new environments and immediately succeed. Or ever.

Like, how long did it take McKenzie Weger to look like a good flame? Four months? Too long for Coach Rett's. Rett would have him floating in an ocean right now. Like he... Glad we didn't trade him. Yeah, hanging on to him was the right choice. Although if you did, you'd probably, maybe you'd have that center.

And then you'd probably signed Hanifah. I think there's a lot to that that we don't really, we talk about all this stuff. We don't think about that. When you change, everything changes. City, teammates, structure, coach. system, everything's changed, and it's not it doesn't work, it doesn't work right away. It doesn't, it doesn't always work. Doesn't always work right away.

I ask you this. What? Not your math question. Are we now, because we've, this is a Pinda report on shut up. We're good. Are we close now when you talk about adding a player, Lomburg comes in. Are we close to now between Huska,

Conroy, that you know the type of player that you need when you bring in a Calgary flame, not just a good player. It's like, yeah, he's good, but does he fit the way we need to play? Because I feel like we're kind of getting there. I think so, right? I think there's an identity. I don't think they went out and said, God, we got to get our hands on that Kuzmenko.

That was like to help get a deal done. I don't think he's a flame guy. Yeah. But if they move him out for a player, it'll be more of a flamesy type guy. Yeah. There's an identity how they play. There's an identity. Yeah.

Because we've said it and it just came up with noodles. What's your first line, second line? it's not you'd love one line to be scoring a lot more which would but when one line comes out after the other the style of play doesn't dip it's kind of the same they're well structured they work hard uh okay so the jack adams thing we talked about uh jim it's not going to be jim montgomery no but actually here's the funny thing not that long ago may of 23 how long ago is that dean um well just a year and a half uh here are your finalist for coach of the year Montgomery haxstle lindy ruff all three have been fired just 18 months later.

Cutthroat business. It is the kiss of death. Shoot me in the face. And of course here, it was the year after Darrell won, see ya, and the year after Hartley won, see ya. Kiss of death. Huska, I would take it back. We don't want you one in that Jack Adams.

I saw him in a white t-shirt. I said, whoa, whoa. You can go to the Mr. Loo. He's not winning the Jack Adams. Scott Arneal is. Sorry, call me. Bob Hartley is not winning the? No.

Oh, okay. You don't want him winning it. Then he's going to get around. He's not. Tommy's going to be excited about it. Wittipig Jets are off to the best start ever. Hoska doesn't want. He's the only going to talk about what.

November. Can't talk about it. Yeah, in the combat. He's never want to talk about. You can't talk about. Tonight, what do we got? Let's look at the games. Go, go, go.

Vegas, Toronto, we talked about in the center of the universe. Cains of Flyers, sure. Sharks, Dallas, sure. Preds, Seattle. If they're, if they're going to do it, they got to start beating teams like Seattle. Like if you are actually going to be okay, start beating some teams that, you know, are mid or worse. And Sabers Kings is interesting.

Kings all of a sudden passed by the flames. And they make it Tage Thompson back tonight. He's been taking morning skates and practicing. They haven't played since the weekend. Both those kind of been on a sneaky little heater here. They're all right. Boston wants to soil themselves. Maybe that opens the door for one of those young Atlantic teams.

We'll move. Do you like AFC North football, boys? I like football. Do you like winter? Do you like bad weather? Do you like running the football? Just like piles of muck. Yeah.

I like taking money on the jack. Look at this forecast for the Thursday night or tomorrow. Rain and showers before the kickoff. Then rain and snow. Mostly cloudy. Low around 36. What's freezing? Red.

32. Oh, baby. West wins 12 to 20 miles an hour. And 80% chance we get moisture. New rainfall amounts 10th and a quarter of a minute. Like this is ugly. ball, two teams that aren't offensively super gifted. Sorry, Jack.

This is going to be a muckfest, Jack, tomorrow night. This is over under 36 and a half and going down. This is not. If you're into high flying offenses, this is not. So who does this suit better? It helps the yucky Browns or the run the ball stealer. What do we like you? Steelers can play any game, Ryan.

Hey, Jack, can you just throw on some earmuffs? Yeah. I saw the stat this morning. Yeah. The Steelers have never. won a road divisional Thursday night game. 0 and 7 all time. Oh and 5 under Tomlin.

Tomlin all in on the road Thursday nights, 2 and 8. It's a Sunday guy. You know what? All the numbers, good for Tomlin against Harbaugh, but all the numbers are bad for Thursdays. Okay, get Jack back. We won't Tomlin.

I guess that. this whole parental thing. Your kids are how old? I know. I'm aware. See you Friday, Dean. See you Friday.

Yeah, I'm one way or the other. You can, from the departures, because I know you want to hold hands, go through security, watch the plane take off, the whole balloons.

Yeah, no, that was today. They're gone. Skap it. Oh, really? Yeah.

Oh. So that's what to be, they're not here. So I've got some other stuff. It really doesn't change the time of day, though. I know. I know. Are we done?

Did you do the end of the Indy report? Yeah, the golf... Yeah, we did. We got a couple other things to do just before we wrap this thing up. We've got a big meeting, so we can't miss that.

So it's a one. Apparently. The person who needs to be on it the most isn't going to be on it apparently. So that's ideal. Can be done remotely. You're not going on? Jeez.

Yeah, that's right. That's right. What's going on in the... Did anyone... Anyone in that, uh, yeah, grippity chatty, textity thing? Ruppity chatty agree with me regarding my hot takery, right, the dawning. Do you know what Red always sort of like finds out of pick both sides? This is his thing.

He's being tongue in cheek, but he is saying go get a guy. So now if they're bad, he's like, no, no, I was joking. But if he's good, he's like, see, I told you they did this hour. I don't do it. Listen, I forget who it was, but I'm pretty sure you were the dummy. wanted to sign all these goaltenders right who was it that we came in three years oh dude pumping johnson it was chad johnson to be fair he had about a year where he was like nine 30 it was insane that's how crazy goalies are that's what that's what i want to let's see play out a bit

morazick was on your radar for a while then there was the guy in carolina chicago we don't have the insights that i also the snake wrangler out of buffalo leonner robin lennar well bob Yeah, once that snake farm went under, he wasn't the same. Well, I lose it. I love who he's eating him or what. Yeah, and he and Vegas are having a little bit of a spat, apparently. Not fun to get in the butterfly when you're 280? I think there's some issues, yeah.

Yeah. Some issues there for sure. Do you need me to fly there to fail the medical? I'm failing the medical. You know I'm failing the medical. I know I'm failing the medical. You need me to fly there to fail a medical. Yeah.

This flower guys, we don't want him, right? We got a later. Yeah, yeah. Mark Andre Fleury can beat it. We're going to bring in Robin Leonard and pay him. They were right and they were wrong. They didn't need Flurry, but they were wrong. It was Leonard.

It was actually a hidden hill. You have shat on Flurry for years and I've been right on Flurry the whole way through. They should have kept Flurry in Pittsburgh before he went to Vegas and traded the other duster Matt Murray because he was so good. Could have got a king's ransom and they could have kept cruising. It wasn't their goaltending that was winning. championship. Didn't they package Flurry with a first?

I don't remember. Or was it with a second? They gave an asset with Mark Andre Fleury to Vegas. Yeah. Because it's like, guys, making a lot of money. We want to protect these other guys. We know Murray's our guy. Vegas, please take this guy.

Will and incent you. Face the franchise. Yeah. Cup final that year. Golly's man. I think you're right, though, in the end. I am right. Yeah.

About. About the Flurry thing. Oh, yeah. You got to think outside the box. Get outside the box. You think of Jay and the sand. It's the box. You don't hear enough people saying that.

Think outside the box. You don't hear that a lot. Never? No, hardly ever. I feel like thinking outside the box is kind of in the box thinking of this point. Yeah, it is. Yeah.

You ever, I don't know what the sabres right now. Plus money. Plus one 30. I want to get their first trip out to the West Coast. Our first game on their trip out to the West. Excited. The other one we had.

We told you to not buy coffee two weeks ago and put it on the Dustin Wolf wins the caller. I'm telling you not to buy coffee again because we found Dustin Wolf for the best. It's 100 to 1. 100 to 1. Where did you find that? I don't know what you're going to go click on the futures. And you go regular season of wars trophies. 100 to 1.

And look, I'm not telling you about 10 bucks on it, right? But if you put $2 on it. Look at that number. There's so many zeros. So many zeros. if you really believe they're out in the center, this is the type of territory. What if you put $20 down?

Oh my God. That's a lot of math, Dean. I want to hold. Conroy is pissed. Scroll down. Is he? But noodles, not me.

Oh, I see. Is it right? Yeah, he just texted me. See, you pissed about it. He said, why is this a hater? Why do you have this loser gold tender on here? I don't know. Bad mouth of my squad.

One of the other games. Seattle at home to Nashville. Nashville's on this. That's a big game. Nashville minus 130 there. Does it not? It's 140? 140.

Yeah. So, I mean, the crack and they lost the other night, but I think they'd won four straight prior plus 120 money line at home against Nashville who's neither here nor there. I feel like we're going to start seeing some desperate Nashville. It doesn't mean they're going to be good, but they're not going to be having an off like we didn't work tonight nights. It's a tough one. But, yeah, yeah, it's kind of been sneaky, okay? Do we like Vegas or Toronto tonight?

Toronto. They've been pretty darn good without Austin Matthews for six games. Was it five and one or something? Is he, has he been out that long? A couple weeks. Yeah. As well, was it, they blank Boston for nothing two weekends ago. That was without him. That was the first game you missed or one of the first ones. Back we thought the brains were good. You might feel they're good again to another two weeks soon.

Golly, say? Wasn't the Germany thing a big thing to see? Well, that's what we talk about. Is it or is it? No. I mean, I feel like we're the medical world is at right now. It's people travel all over the place to get like opinions or procedures. I don't know. Stuff done in Germany that's commonplace in regular surgeries. It's like, whoa,

he's not at Toronto general? No, I, he's a guy in Germany. Like, are you going to go to Germany and then wake up and you got a kidney gone or something? No, it's Germany. It's first world.

Pete, Northern Man. Wow. GFG. Not even a question just to let's go get it. Where should I go? No, I'm coming up there, Pete.

Like how north are we talking? Are we talking Swan River? Are we talking the paw? Are we talking Flynn Flon? Are we talking Thompson? What are we talk? Does it further north of Thompson? As far as I go.

The pie is kind of even there. I get a buddy from the paw. It's like, whoa, that's unusual. I'm sure it doesn't change a lot the further you go up because the paw is probably sufficient. If I said to the shoveler, let's go to the paw. Yeah. She wouldn't know where it is.

She wouldn't know how to spell it. Guaranteed. No. I'm trying to remember. This is the name of a place? Is cranberry portage north of the paw on the way to Flynnflon? Is that two places or one? Cranberry portage?

There's Portage La Prairie, which is by Winnipeg. Yeah. And then there's cranberry portage, which sounds like a delicious breakfast. Did you say porridge? Because Craberries would be interesting in porridge. It would be, yeah. So are they,

are the cranberries dried? Cross Lake, Peter says. Which is, I'm not super fond of it. It doesn't help. It sounds like it's up there. Like, you know, I don't know. Reported. Here we go.

Oh, I went too far. It is north of the palm. On the way to flip them. Before you get to flip them. What was that? name of this place this fellow's from cross lake manitoba cross lake oh he's uh wow

very close to the ontario border there oh yeah he's the same latitude as winnipeg that's not northern white shell he's close to canora he's not a liar manitoba mr lundegarde mr londagard you're a stinking liar damn liar now but you're looking at that on a flat so on the earth

globe maybe it's high so wise looking at the latitude lines here so if you just follow the lines it kind of the highway that connects to canora oh I'm not going to canora either canara thistles small smoker everyone in the cup what was that thing about

if you drive north or something to get to Detroit what was that there's a song no there was I we have it it was a trivia thing yeah if you go to Detroit and drive south what country do you hit like geez it's a long

way, but you probably get to Mexico. No, it's Canada. Bam, bam, bam, bam. Wow, your friends. Windsor. Can I go into Windsor if you head south? I head to the Rippers in the casino and Windsor. Windsor. Didn't like the Detroit border guard.

No? Looked in the back of my truck. Didn't believe that I was that the one where you left your passport behind? Okay, that's different per crossing. Buffalo. So what? Because you lived out in that area. I just want to write now, the Buffalo Bills,

powerhouse, Detroit Lions, powerhouse, both very close to the border. Where's the Great Lakes area? Where's the allegiance line there? Well, but they're four hours east of west. So like where would, like red deer is the cut off. They say, is there like, well, from here, now you're in Lions country. Yeah, but you're very rarely would you have ever had these two teams good at the

same time two cities in the great lakes Detroit Buffalo one wins who's feeling nicey who's feeling nicey woohoo I'll just say this so you have Buffalo you have Cleveland I was going to say you've got Detroit so all three teams Pittsburgh's only three hours of the Browns are the Browns aren't no but if I said to you today Super Bowl Bill's Super Bowl Lions okay That is too boring there. That's the one. AFC and FC. Let's go.

Take that one. There's more people in the Toronto area than there are in the Windsor area. So I would think the bills would be based on population. They'd have more. You know, it is interesting. It's kind of like Canada is stuck between the two, isn't it? It is. There's no U.S. in the middle.

London, Ontario is in the middle. It's almost why I ask the question. It's like it's a little area. Usually we don't get this. steep folks, but who's holding us back? Who they're cheering for at the Sundowner? They're cheering for the bills. 100%. They've got great bills specials at the sundowner.

If you're in the area, pop on in. All kinds of bills, $20.00 bills. There's a buddy man, deep. Retro. Are the kids and wife pumped to be officially back now that the snow is falling? Because you wouldn't get much snow in Buffalo when you were there. Then you did, you get too much. It didn't get snowed that stay.

When it snowed, it snowed. The kids are pumped. Yeah. Yeah. Jacked. But it's turned to ice. Christ. It's very, very slow.

It's not good right now. Like, you can't even walk down the sidewalk. I can't wait to fall and sue. Soon, then she. I had to fall the other day. It's good. Oh, did you soon? No, it was in my driveway.

Yeah. The fucker didn't solve it. Lazy prick. This asshole. Oh, shit. This is my. Michael. I'll be going to the game on Monday.

I will try and give a barn burner shadow to Adnan during one of the intermissions. Is it Amazon again on Monday? Yeah, in, where are they? Well, there's one game a week. Monday is Amazon. Where is it on Monday? Can you stop that? They're in Ottawa.

That's what it is. That makes sense. Yeah. Noodles. That's right. We won't be there because it's on Amazon. Yeah. Lazy.

Yeah, one Canadian game every Monday is an Amazon game. Doogie. Question for retro. Best way to have potato. In your mouth. Yeah, there's other places. I was going to say. It's,

A roasted potato. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Garlic roasted. I will do the, is it the Hasselhoff or the Hasselback? The Hasselback. Yes, the Hasselback. Matt Hasselback, number three.

What is that, by the way? I don't want to be. Take the potato and think of it like you've, like you put in like a rotate like. Spiral? Yeah. And then you stuff. Butter and cheese and some stuff in the folds of the sateau. It can be labor intensive, but I've done it.

And it just. Hasselbeck? Yeah. Okay. You can Google it. Number two, twice baked. God, that's good. And number one, you know what comes next.

Mashed. Correct? No love for the French fry. Question, I was going to say. I don't consider it. Dubious by its absence, the Tater Tots. I had Tadetton's last night because loved it. I consider that a whole different category.

Bouté. A whole different category. Okay. Red tries do deserve their own category. I'm okay with it. Because then you get into crinkle cut, shoe string. And it's skin on it.

That's almost more of a deep fried cattle category. Yeah, you're right. I had some scallop potatoes the other day. I was very disappointed. Did I just tell you my mom scam? My mom scam? No.

Christmas scallop potato scam. You're going up to the lake for Christmas. Yeah. Northern Sask. Actual north. Is it on the latitude? Cross Lake. Yeah.

And, mom makes scalp potatoes one of those big old roasters full of scalp mom oh what have you holy like what the bring your appetite boys impressed like how much time and effort have you put into that's right and she's being oh there it's yeah anything for you honey stop it yeah two years dean you wouldn't let her get away with it two years went by before she finally cracked under the pressure because i requested the scalp potatoes again and i said i need that recipe she said well and she didn't want to had to drag it out of yeah bought him at the deli store bought in those little pre-made yeah yeah she just dumped it in that roaster and passed it off it's wrong it's great idea but don't be taking the credit she's a fucking liar

She's a frog. Mrs. Warner. You're a fucking liar. Mr. Lundegard. Yeah, because, you know, and somebody was saying, and it was still good. Now I want to go get them. I know.

Because I don't think you've got your tater tots, your French fries, hash brown. Get out of it. Potato chips. No one asked for your opinion. I'm not, I'm not,

it's the point you brought up that you said it's a separate category. And I was really, but then you're right. It's a separate category. She's fried potatoes in their own category. That's where your tots and potato chips and french fries. Did you grow up? We ate so much beef and potatoes where I'm from because everyone had cows. Yeah, no.

And potatoes. I would bet my grandpa ate more potatoes than any man. Maybe ever. My father-in-law. Lunch, boiled potatoes. Supper? Boiled potatoes. Man likes a tater.

My father-in-law, rest in peace. ate so much potatoes as a kid. Once he moved out, I'm done. I will make him. Don't need the starch. Rest of my life, no more. Hit the quota. If they'd be visiting us,

oh, what should we do? So bake potatoes, no, no, no. What else can we do? Noodles, rice, anything. See, my grandpa, I think it was less about the potato, more about the butter. That's where I learned my love of butter. Because the potatoes were boiled.

But boy, there was a lot of. Yeah. Burr. It's amazing. Stuff that I've stumbled across. There was a butter story that I kept. I was going to bring on the show. There's a gravy story.
