No pender today. He's doing to some golf, something or other, he said. But look at this. He does run hot. Hey, guys. What's going on? Mike Omm. Be here. What a surprise? What are you doing?

I text you and five minutes later you walk in. You know what? I got out. I was next door at the gym. Oh, good. Yeah. Sweating it out a little bit. Staring in things.

Yeah. It's just staring at the way it's not really moving. Yeah. And then I walked out. I was about to get him on. I'm one of those birds because I do have a commitment at noon. I'll probably be a little bit late. So I was going to scooter back to the high at downtown and I saw your text.

Where are you? No, you said, do you want to come on? I responded, where are you? And then I'm like, well, wait a minute. I was literally right across the street. So I figured I'd pop in. Well, it's nice of you to pop in. Stop and chat.

Six Sutter shooters. What are you? What the hell? I'm getting an early start to this lunch. It's easier to put up with people. Is it a big lunch? What are you going to do? It's the Gordy Howell.

That's the Gordy Howe. Oh, yeah. Barney texts me yesterday. Oh, boy. What about four in the morning? No. Like after the show, he said, if you want to come to have a beer, I'm in town. Oh, yeah.

He is in town. I was with Matthew Barnaby. Where, yeah? Oh, boy. I'll tell you what. That guy, I've said it a few times on stage or whatever. There's one team I could have played for, I think, as far as fun factor goes, I wish I was on the Buffalo Sabers.

In the mid-90s. I mean, this Matthew Barnaby is a piece of a great guy. I mean, he just doesn't stop. Yeah. He comes in here. He comes in here with a purpose. He loves this tournament. He loves Calgary.

Brad May and Razors as well. Oh, yeah. He was hanging around a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. You guys were talking about the Sabres a little earlier. Are you going to get it together? No.

No. Okay. Did you see that one about the Sabers have more playoff? of ground victories of the Leafs. Since the lockout. 4, 2, right? Yeah. And three of them are in 06.

Yeah. They lost to you guys. Brian Campbell shoots it over the glass. That's right. Thanks, Brian. Appreciate that. You know what else was a crazy stat that I had no idea? The last time the Carolina Hurricanes won a conference final game,

I opened up for scoring. Game 7 against Buffalo. I'm like, wait, wait. I'm like, oh and what? 14. Oh, and 14. Swept by the pens, swept by the Bruins,

swept by the Panthers, and we're off to a house. I mean. Do you want another one? Can you get Rod's picture up for us, Jack? Yeah, we were talking about poor Rod. Rod's rattle.

No one works harder than Rod. So to watch what's happening, the turnover is and scurrying away from contact and how to. Rod, like, look, I love Rod. Rod and I have kept in touch over the years. I have the utmost respect for Rod. Rod calls me meatball. He thinks I'm an idiot, but he always responds to my text.

Rod is not happy in that picture. Rod is ready. Rod is ready to blow the doors off. Yeah, because you have your ears on, we'll run this. We can call it the PIN report or whatever. Let me hear that. So it's, as a coach, you always want to, hey, you know, always on the lighter side, guys, nothing to see here.

This is the tale of two Rod the boss. from last night pregame and then post. Oh boy. Because of the opponent, because of you played him two years ago on how that series played out, naturally there's the questions of scoring enough. Do you get any sense from your players that are feeling that at all? Well, I think you should. I mean, that's the reality of it.

You know, we got to find a way to get some goals by this guy. And, you know, we can all talk about. We got to get more traffic. Everybody's trying. I mean, they got a good team for a reason. They know they clear the net and they don't allow us getting those seconds and third opportunities. that they'll probably have a success.

So there's that battle going on. Trust me, it's at the net, and we'll continue to do it. We've got to just figure out how to win a period. I think that's the, I think we came out with the right intentions, but it was trying to do too much. And then we're not doing the things that we do as a team that normally helps us. We were just, I didn't know what I was watching in the first period. Oh, boy.

That didn't go well. We're not going to beat this team if we're not on the same page. And tonight, for whatever the reason, And I think, like I said, the intentions were good. Everyone's trying to say, okay, I'm going to do this, but that's not how we do it. Oh, boy. See how big his eyes are? Yes.

I mean, I'm trying to control my anger. He wants to just stand up and just rip his shirt off. Do we have that shot? It was after the first goal, right? Where they quickly shot to the bench. I think we showed that one first. So it's, yeah, boys, we're going to do all the right things. Let's go.

Get a good start. Don't worry about the. We got to protect the. Puck, don't just turn it over. All right. Up, yeah, let's move it up here. We go. We're good, boys.

Where are you going? Don't do that for sure. Oh, Schedekoff. There's a Russian special. Oh, geez. Minutes 17 in. What, nothing. Rod, how are we doing?

Coach, maybe you need to save there. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. That's, he's not happy. They got a good team in Carolina, but they're getting pushed around, in my opinion. Yeah, I don't know. Florida's good.

Florida's good. Florida's a great thing. You got to give them credit. Yeah. I mean, there are no shitty teams in the conference finals, but from the little, I didn't see the,

I saw a little bit last night, but I was kind of in one here. But they've been getting pushed around. Yeah. And I saw some people like on Twitter or whatever. It's like, boy, to think the Leafs could have been two wins away

to talking about how bad Carolina's been. It's like, well, Florida's pretty fucking good. Yeah, they are. Florida's a good team. They look great. I heard you guys talking earlier about tired. I mean, they played a lot of hockey, but they look just fine.

They don't look distracted at all, do they? They don't look tired. Nope. No, not at all. Not at all. Well, that's glad took 20 some games off. That's a good way to get a. You need a few games on.

Yeah. Just, you know, what? A horse tranquilizer. Somebody. I got some bad advice. Oh, really? What was that, windstrawl? That's illegal.

Yeah. Just take this. Really? Okay. No, that's bad advice. Was he taking ultimate orange? Wasn't there that stuff back in the day? Remember that? I didn't do it much. I did it once.

I thought, okay, this is going to help me in testing? Yeah. I nearly die. My heart rate could not come down. It was at 200 beats a minute for an hour. I'm not like, this is no. It just fired up. Yeah.

The crash was terrible. Yeah. Well, I wanted to include you because you were talking about the last time that the hurricanes won a game in the conference. I'll tell you all about it. I was unreal that series. Tell us about it.

I had a great series. I've scored two playoff goals. Went to the finals twice. I was lucky enough, got swept twice. I was either all in to game seven of the finals or out in four. One of the two. One of the two.

50-50. We're either out of here in four or we're going right to the end. Let's do it. That's the way to do it. Yep, that's right. I scored, I think I ended up playing like 50 games or so, something like that in my playoff career.

rear scored two goals they were both against the sabers in the conference finals one was short-handed oh tip in believe in front oh i was like high slot i went for we were down by two i think it was like five minutes left in the game i'm like you know what i'm gonna go for a skate i went for a skate did a hot lap and it just happened i i own ryan miller i was kind of skating back out through the slot towards the blue line brett hectic and shot the puck and i remember i'm like Oh, perfect. Ding, tipped it in. Three, two.

We lost the game, though. It didn't matter. But game seven, I managed to open up the scoring. I'd like to sit here and tell you I just hammered it right underneath the bar. I did not. I tried to get the puck in the air on a one-timer from Doug Waite. I fanned on it. I got some wood on it, but it was right along the ice.

It hit at least two things and bounced in the side door. Yeah, and if they had better. If they had better cameras, you wouldn't have got to go. it touched somebody. Yeah. Oh, 100%. Yeah, no, it really only scored one playoff goal,

and it didn't mean shit. Oh, we're tied. So the last time the Keynes won in the conference final. Yeah, this is not in the conference final is when they advanced to the cup. Yeah. For the Panthers, they have gone 14 straight conference final games without losing in regulation. They are 12 and 2.

Both of the losses coming in overtime. Their last regulation time loss in a conference. final, May 28th, 1996, game five against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Oh, boy. I think I know somebody who was there. They then went on to win the next two to advance to the Cup final versus Colorado.

We shut that Lubee guy down. They had a couple of key pieces. You could just shut them down. It was an easy game. I had to assist in that game. Did you? Like tape the paper. No, actually.

I think I did get an assist, but Rob me Rob Deidemeyer passed me the puck Okay And the coaches literally gave him shit for like Don't just shoot Oh give him the fuck Well you were right

Just because you were young I was I had the one teeth clapper all set up I'm ready One day Yeah This whiffed it I don't even It wasn't even near the net

Then I went to the bench And the coaches Given Niedemeyer's what the fuck Just shoot it Well I was wondering if you Did you get any feedback when you're in front of the net tipping in a headache and point shot? Was there any? Yeah, Mike, that's great.

But if you could just fucking stay back. One and done, Mike. Let's not just talk. Yeah. Yeah, there was a little feedback with the game. I'd like to say it was like a meaningful goal. It was not. I think it was like game.

I can't remember. We lost that one at home. It was a great series. I sent it to you. Oh, yeah. I mean, I swear to it. It was a great tip. I'm going to tell you.

I mean, it was unbelievable. I should have been a four, but I couldn't skate. It was a three on five. Yeah, short-handed goal. Yeah, watch me. I go for a loop. Oh, my God.

Yeah. I go for a loop. You sure do. Oh, the building went bananas. And I just pointed up like this, like I know what I'm doing. Yeah. That's why they brought me in. That's right.

Making league minimum after they rolled me back under it. What a deal of the hurricanes. Pointing that Eric Cole and Dougie Wade. Shit. That shit ain't hard. Easy. Just go to the net boys. Just get a step.

on it. That's right. That's right. But the canes are in trouble. Obviously, they're in trouble. The only time I think I've seen Rod Moore rattled, a player included. I never saw him really rattled as a player. He didn't, he didn't say anything or very, very little. Focused. Very focused. The only other time was when they got swept the last time, that after when he got in front of the media and he was agitated. I think his quote was like, well, that wasn't a Yeah, it wasn't a sweet. And he's bouncing around and I'm like, well, you know, I would never tell him this.

I'm like, well, hey, uh, the news flash, Ross. I saw somebody actually, when one team wins four and you win zero, I'm pretty sure that's sweet. But the games were tight. I understand what he was saying, but he was agitated. I saw somebody tweet last night. It's like, I can't wait for post game for Rod to tell, like how they're not down two games to none and for Maurice to tell the cut, tell everybody how close to just a small

small margins of error. It's like, no, this is a shit pumping and you're definitely down 02. Yeah. Yeah, that is 02 with an exclamation mark, for sure. But you never know. You never know. It's not over, but things have to turn around from my canes. Yeah. But

it doesn't look great. But, hey, it does not look great. It does not look great, but it's not over. Hey, the Leafs were up to nothing last round. That's what I was saying. They were up to nothing and then up in that hockey game. Game three.

It's like, oh, Leafs are different this time. This time it's going to be different. I mean, I actually got, I'm not a Leafs fan. I could care less,

but, you know, you have to talk about them. And it is an interesting story. Well, you know, their whole history and everything like that. They got up to nothing.

We did a little podcast on mine. And I'm like, you know what? I actually, I'm like, well, yeah, I'll take Toronto.

They're up too. And then they got pumped in game five. And I'm like, okay, you know what? This isn't the end of the world. You know, usually when a team gets just completely dominated, they're going to show up the next game.

And they did. They play good in game six. And I'm like, all right. I mean, game seven at home, let's go. And that was, I was sitting at Moxies down in Scottsdale, hammering drinks. And 10 minutes into the first period, I was sitting there and I had some leaves and Panthers fans behind me.

I turned around to a couple of leaves guys. I'm like, have you guys had the puck yet? Like, I don't think you've touched it once. And if you have, it's a turnover and it's right back in your end. And that was, they get through the first period, zero, zero, which was a major win. They had it, like, got it going a little bit. And then I said it online. I'm like, that is the definition.

You come out in the second period and just squat at center ice right on the leaf logo and lay an egg. What's wrong with that squad? Because it, okay. Okay, they won game six and he almost like, okay, finally. And Matthews kind of got to bounce to score that one goal. You're like, okay, the monkey's off the back. And this can't continue. They do care, don't they?

And then it's like, go to game seven. What's always, you're on the road in game seven. What's the coach and the team saying, weather the storm. Yeah. Yeah, they're going to come out fire. There's the stone blazing. Yeah, the storm. There was no hurricane.

There was no weather forecast. There was no down. The weatherman was wrong. Yes. Yes. There was nothing. I mean, everybody cares. Everybody wants to win.

That's like, yeah, everybody wants to. But are you going to do what it takes? What it takes. I mean, yeah, everybody wants to win. Can you elevate your game to actually compete in it? Yeah. It is crazy because I was listening to Chuck. He was on with the spit and chicklets guys.

And he was talking about how we knew there was going to be a ton of pressure for them coming into a game seven. Sure. That's like, shit, don't you want game seven at home? That's what you play. all season fours. Yes. Are we doing this the wrong way? At the beginning of the year,

if you would have told those, anybody, hey, look, you're going to be in game seven at home to go to the conference finals. Would you take it? Yeah, of course you would take it.

And you wouldn't lay an egg at center on the leaf look. I mean, it's one thing to lose. Yes. Yeah, losing happens. Losing sucks. Yes, you can get a bad bounce.

But at least go out. Try. Swinging. Try him. Throw a cup. Yes. Just quickly. What the fuck is with the guy?

leaving their gloves on that I don't understand like in the scrub like we saw two and two nights got us to spare with March and you see it all the time nowadays even the Wilson into the box in Montreal they still kind of had like I don't it should be the first thing off yes I'm going to protect myself I mean if you're gonna yeah 100% how am I going to do that with not two hands on your stick and you're going to cross checks I mean if you're not using your stick as a weapon if that's not going to be a weapon your gloves should be off what are you doing punching what is this like I'm fucking bad basketball players.

Well, they're probably saying, I can't get a fighting major if I didn't dick my gloves off. How are you giving me five? You can get shifleet. When ghost or gothast or whatever, the game's over. That was not, when I saw that for the canes, I'm like, Jesus. I mean, this is not a good look. That is not a good look.

And nobody, look, I know the game's changed. And I wasn't the toughest guy in the world by any stretch of the imagination. But the gloves stay on. I mean, Marchantz, throwing punches. Like, what are you doing? Like, you can't, like, protect yourself. 100%. That bare minimum, like, protect yourself.

And then nothing really happened after that. And for me, I was just like, man. And it's not like, yeah, you know, like I don't want to sound like the old asshole. And, you know, I mean, I wasn't perfect either or whatever. But it's like, there's nobody on the other team that's going to, like, murder you. No, you could fight all of them and you're not going to get hurt. Joey Kosher. ain't on the other. Kelly Chase

is Tony Twist scared me. I pissed my pants. He came after me. I'm like, oh, God. Tony Twist, okay, I understand. That makes sense. But it's like, yeah, games changed, but not that much. The response, a, gothless, whatever, however you say it last day.

Yeah, ghost, I'll just call him. I don't know the guy. I never met him, but that was a bad look and then nobody really like runs somebody or I don't know. It's the same. junior or just don't do shit and then get pounded the next game five cobb yeah yeah there's your response you know what i'll get your next game i'll show you oh damn yeah darn so you went you didn't go to houston's in uh scottstale i have been to houston i love i have yeah i have

it's a great spot careful i've heard things yeah it's yeah i saw the videos i talked a bit Yeah, it's interesting. I don't know what's going on there, and I don't want to talk too much. I'm boys with biz. Yeah, you shouldn't say too much. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I won't. But it's, did you guys see the video of those guys before?

I saw that, but I don't know which one you'd be. I was. So the thing with. Inside Houston's? Well, inside Houston's, but then before that. So these guys, from what it looked like, came into Scottsdale on a heater. Yeah. I'm out of Texas.

We're going to go. So earlier that day, they were at a golf course in Scottsdale, and there's video. You can find it online. The sucker and the manager in the clubhouse. I think the one guy smoked one of the waitresses. Yeah, there was a waitress. Yeah, I swear to God. Yeah, there's video it is.

And so I don't know what biz is doing to me. Yeah, I don't know. I don't want to say too much, but these guys are assholes. On the chicklets, they were individuals. They were calling the 6-1 leaf-law. losses, the Irish travelers. They went Irish travelers on the leaf six against six on one. You know what, Biz ended up. I text. I heard about it not that night than the next morning before it all came out. I messaged biz. I'm like, dude, what is Houston's? What is going on? I go, are you

okay? He's like, yeah, man, I'm okay. I go, what happened? He's like, dude, it was like six or seven guys. I'm like, you were by yourself? Like nobody, he goes, I was on my own. I'm like, are you okay? He's like, I had to get three stitches, but he goes, my head hurts a little bit, but overall, my head's hurt before. We've had worse. You're going to be fine, yeah. But yeah, that was.

I've done it with professionals. These guys were numbers, yeah. Yeah. Right into the CBS parking lot. Yeah. And I'm not faulting it for it when it's six on. I mean, that one guy.

Oh, he's running through this. I mean, six on one. It's a tough win. That's a tough. Yeah, that the Keynes felt last night. This is, we're overmatched. Yeah. you better make them count when you get a chance.

So would this be, because would this be the last playoff goal that you scored, this tip? No, no, no, no. I scored a bunch. I scored one more. Okay, one more. Yeah, so one was the tip.

Shouldn't have counted. Two was game seven, open it up to get the plans going. Okay, well, but this is the finesse. That's what we're talking about game seven. Are you guys going to put it up? Yeah. Whoa, this one.

Oh, no, no, you guys got the wrong one. Watch this, look at this play. Look at my jet. Jason Pommenville, kiss my ass. Watch that. Five on three. Five on three, boys. No big deal.

No big deal. We lost that game too. That was the next year. We won the Cup in 2006. That was like game. It was early the next year, like within the first five, six games. Look at my jets. What a pass.

Look at Colsey. Look at me. Just outskating the competition right under the bar. Yeah. Screw you, Miller. Right there. Palm and three on five. That doesn't happen very often.

It does not. I mean, and Miller is bad. I didn't think we were going to have a hard time. What is going on? Commodore goal catalog that we'd get lost in there. There's just too many of them to remember. Oh, you're down the rabbit hole.

They're cycling through. We can watch them all of them. We'll be done in about 30. Meanwhile, it's the real will be over by the time I finish this. Six Sutter shooters. You're out of five on three. Hedekin makes a nice shot block and now calm her. It's like, fuck, call me.

We're down five on three. Where are you going? Just dump it in and get a change. No, down the ice. I should have played in Buffalo. That's one of my regrets, actually. Not many of you're not. Why?

I love playing there. As a visitor. I enjoyed it there. Yeah, well, you've got fond memories. Yeah, but even like when we would lose and going in there in the regular season, I always had a great time in Buffalo, Chippewa Street. Chip walk and get hopping. Stay up late there.

Holy 4 a.m. and then the guys. 5 a.m. Oh, they just keep them open. Oh, they don't care. But good people. Little Richie, Jumbo, no good. It's hard in my career, Mike. I don't think she'd be right.

Actually, yeah. Jesus. I would have been there. Would have been there. It would have been quicker than it did anyways. Gonzo. Now I need to. It's funny.

Those guys, the bartenders that we hung out with the Buffalo. Now they're one of their kids is. coming to play for the Okotok's oilers. One of the bartender's kids from Buffalo. Coming up here? Yeah. Oh, Jesus. Small, small world.

You must have put a clinic on there. It was hard. And you know what it's like traveling out east. You can be home. Like, oh, yeah, we're in Long Island. We're home at midnight. Yeah. You got another, you got five hours at the bar.

Sorry. They don't close. But bad news. Yeah. I love looking at the Commodore stuff online. so much of it is not hockey related. No, no, Jesus, no. I didn't know he spoke English.

Goes off on Mike Babcock. I put the brakes on that. You have a lot of your influences deep in the hockey world, my friend. So what's the schedule this weekend? Well, I'm already off kilter here. That's okay. Yeah, no, it's fine. Lunch starts in 33 minutes.

It'll be fine. So we got a luncheon. I got a scooter back to the Hyatt. So that's going to take a few minutes. But and then, I'm going to go over to Local on 8th, my high school, friend of mine from high school runs the place. So I'm going to have a couple there. Good fish tacos.

Really? Okay. I might, I might indulge. Usually I just have beers or. I'm not talking you have to eat. Yeah, one taco. Why not? Then there's a, uh, alumni, uh, major sponsor thing of all back.

Yeah. And then the draft is, uh, tonight at the rooftop. And then the next two days are hockey at the Flames Community Center. It's at Flames Community now. Used to be out at Windport. Yeah, a few years ago. They've been out there.

Windport, I think, was charging an arm and the legs. Wow, it's a little harder to get to as well. Way harder to get to. Yeah, this is right here. Yeah. So it's basically going to be, I mean, it's. Well, if you need a place to pass out, you could literally walk from Flames Community to this. That coach was comfortable when I was sitting.

While you're going to have a maybe get you a pillow or two. Jack's past. I don't even need a pillow. Don't worry about that pillow. Between Pinder and Jack, that coach gets a workout. Hammer these sutter beers. We'll walk in there will be recorded video of Cawme and some idiot.

He was live streaming in here. Watching the oiler game. Hey guys, welcome back. I didn't know he was that tech savvy. Flames Nation's going through a chain. around here we got a new host yeah and we're not talking about the flames anymore we're going to rip on bad so if you you've stopped that that's over i've stopped that yeah i try to avoid it i see part of the arneal is because scottie coached me in buffalo he's a scumb bad did you like

oh wait i don't want to start with i didn't mind i was a good player he was an assistant coach i was a good player assistant coach i tell you what that guy got in a i don't want to go down i made a mistake last year when he got hired, I immediately went to Twitter, and I liked the Jets team. I picked him to win a couple years ago. I think they have a good team. I was a little selfish.

I kind of went on a little tangent, but I did pump the brakes. Next thing, I know we got reporters from in Winnipeg being like, hey, we want more because I was kind of right on the bass. They just hired him.

We don't. Was this. Right. So there, and I'm like, you know what, this is, I don't want to do this again.

That was seven long years. It's all worked out, but it's not going to work out every time. I do hate the guy. I think he's an arrogant scumbag. But so then, sure enough, I run my mouth and I'm getting it all year from game one, the Jets were unreal.

They opened a year. Didn't they win like 15 in a row? Yeah, like, oh, the first 20 games, they had a couple of them. So I just shut my mouth the entire year. I will say selfishly I was, I did

have a couple of tweets loaded up game seven against St. Louis. Oh, cheap shot. That game looked great from my perspective for the entire time until the last two seconds. The hockey gods came out. They did. What happened? What?

They tied it up. I deleted the teeth. I didn't send them. I had them all loaded up. I'm like, that's it. And I didn't even watch overtime. I'm like, they're winning this game. I'm going to bed.

I literally was asleep two minutes later. I was okay with Adam Lowers score. Oh, like I said, I have a soft spot for Winnipeg, went through there all the time when I was on my way to University of North Dakota. I like their team. I think Lowry's awesome. You're going to be pulled in Oda? I mean, it depends what you want.

It depends. A lot of changes at the University of North Dakota these days. I know you guys don't keep up with that. I do. I'm really high. You want to coach? I'd love to. Yeah.

Get me the fuck out of here. I'd really know. Okay. We'll get you out of here and send you to Grand Forks with you. How does that sound? Go get it. You think it's cold here. From Frontier, Saskatchew.

I don't think Grand Forks is anything to be scared of. It's nothing to be scared of, but it's definitely not warm. Warmer, sorry. No, it's not. I did that two years in a row. I was upgrading life in Buffalo. Yeah. Yeah, you've made some interesting choices.

So you're moving, are you? Yeah, where? Buffalo. Oh, all right. Where are you living now? Are you back here? I kept the house. Yeah, we never sold.

I never know where you're at. But it can change. You don't know where I'm at. Well, you and I. where's red i'm like i think he's in buffalo do you have a residence in calgary no okay i sold everything during covid my big plan was i got i had a place of scottesdale place in calgary yeah you guys want here last name's made off i'll give you some real good financial advice i'm like hey it seems like a good time to sell place right down the street here i kind of got like what i paid

for it back and it wasn't a great layout i'm like unload it unload scottstale And when I unloaded Scottsdale, I mean, I literally packed a bag, my personal stuff. I probably had three bags, clothes, maybe a, maybe a picture. And I left, I left the forks, I left the knives, I left all the, I literally just walked out. It felt so good thinking I'm going to, hey, yeah, you know, I'll get something on the cheap here. Jesus. I know I called our buddy Cobasoo. And it's like, no, let's wait for the market to calm down.

You're a bit. It's exploding. Building everywhere. So for the last four or five years now, and now it's 2025. There's been four years minimum. I've basically been renting furnished places and basically living out of my truck. So they kick you out and go on to the next one. Yeah.

Just move around. Sure. That's what I've been doing. It's not the plan. I think about it a lot. I mean, I'm closer to 50 than I am 40. You know what? And I literally don't have.

have a home just a i you'll figure out for a i just get an ai app we should just put a t-shirt on red that just says just just just get it just use a that's kind of a well are you a i is going to make better decisions than you or i on that's fair you put us up against a i know who i'm betting on yeah that ai is i don't know anything about it but i know you can click the groc thing or whatever it is pretty intelligent i will say that yeah it's way smarter than us it's even in the name what is AI artificial oh yeah

so that's what it stands for but would you say you have regrets then in life in general yeah do you really know we don't have time it's been an unbelievable run yeah I've had a lot of fun I mean I made this I definitely have a couple of regrets

nothing major though nothing major but it is about time that I know it's not just live your life Quit, you always, this is, call me. He has to decide that he's living. I'm just going to keep doing. And society has said by now you should have this and that, be doing this.

Oh, that ship's sales. Fuck. God. Enjoy things. Live. God. God. I got a great.

I got a great. I might keep you alive. You got a golf trip coming up? Yeah. Cypress Point. You guys heard of it? I've heard of it. Oh.

Next to Augustus. Are you playing good? Uh, because I thought over the last couple of years. years there's been some peaks and valleys oh yeah lots of valleys but it's i heard you were shit last year shit chipping yips dog shit really yeah i used to be i used to well until you guys saw that goal of mine you probably didn't think i good hand no but now i had soft hands around the greens i went the band and dunes like four years ago with a 60 degree wedge left with the yips and it's been a long

run but it's coming back now i'm hitting a nice cut i got the toe of my driver loaded up with lead tape Oh. Because when I start going left, it's a problem. It's that legal? It is in my games. Yeah, that's true. My driver might not be PGA conforming. You're not in the PGA, so.

That's right. Who cares? Can you play hockey anymore? Like you're playing this weekend? Can you get down there and score short, short-handed? Are you? Oh, no, no, no. No.

No. You're staying. I'm staying back. I'm staying back. I'm going to get a nice sweat. I'm going to get a nice sweat doing. What's this? That's a tab.

I see you're cracking. You got a beat going there. I know. I'm always, I got a big day. I'm a little bit nervous. I got to hang him with Matthew Barnaby all day. Who else is in town for the event?

Do you know? Yeah, off the top of my head who I've seen. So on stage this for lunch, we got Jeremy Roneck, Mark Recky, and Mike Keenan. So I met Mike Keenan for the first time last night at the Wednesday room. And it was dark in there. and he looks different than he doesn't have any hair anymore.

And I'd never met him before. And so there was a table like 12 guys and there were some sponsors there and everything. And Wayne McBean's here as well. And he's like, oh, hey, meet Mike. So I'm like, hey, Mike. I go, what's your name? I thought he was a sponsor. And I didn't realize for like five to 10 minutes.

Because he looked at me where he goes, yeah, yeah, it's Mike too. And I go, nice to meet you, Mike. And then I go grab a drink and I go sit down. And then somebody said, yeah, you know, because they were. talking about Keenan and i'm like slowly starts to look and i'm like oh shit that is mike keen i thought he was like hey a car coincidence yeah i'm mike too good to meet you nice to meet you i was about to start asking what dealerships he all but it was mike i need a ride you got yeah anything on the lot i had no clue uh but he's on stage we got matthew barnaby here brian mcgratins here

Here are Turjohn's here. I've seen him. Scott Gomez is here. That's odd that you bring up, well, two things. Turgeon, because we showed his clip the other day. Was it with noodles? Yeah, it was with noodles because Noodles was on the Islanders team when Hunter absolutely steamrolled him after the goal. It just took him out as plastered him.

I remember that. Absolutely crushed him. Yeah. Gomez was running for the Chicago Steel job. I don't know. Oh, was he? I know he was coaching in Surrey. for the last two years and he told me he had a job interview at 9 a.m. this morning.

I'd love to know how that went. Because I know where he was at three. I would have loved to just. Yeah, let's not have it on Zoom. Let's just. Yeah. I can't just camera to work. No video.

Sorry, guys. I guess we'll just have to just do it. Technical difficulties. But yeah. So there's a bunch of guys, a bunch of others too. I didn't get invited. They don't invite you no more? No.

Because I've said no enough. I was going to say. I'm playing hockey. You'd be happy to have you. They'd love it if you show up. They'd love to be there too. Oh, I'm sure you would. Do you know Mike Keenan?

I do. I used to hate Keenan. He fucking ended me, but that was the, you know, I'd never met him, like I said. And then, you know, there's a bunch of good Matt Cooks here, another one. Well, and. Nice to have him or? You know what? That was my first time meeting him.

He's a good dude. Oh, I'm sure. I mean, I was dying laughing and he is not shy to get after it. Well, then there's a good dude. I liked him. Lots of common. Yeah. But, yeah, it'll be, it should be a good day.

How many of the old Flame alumni are around? Lots? Like, would half the event be Flames alumni? No. No? No. Off the top of my head, I would say this, I mean, people are busy, obviously,

but I want to say McGratton. And I don't even consider, I mean, he is obviously Flames Alumni. I'm talking about guys that live local almost. Like it's Reg is out of town. Oh, Stajon might be. I think his name was on the list. Uh, but get personality to the event. I can't take cheap shots at Stajon?

I don't agree with that stage. If you're watching this, I don't agree with that. Brett's an asshole. no it's yeah no not a ton of that not a ton of the old boys but well that's because they're really old man like the 89 team is just strut around town like they're this that in a bag of puck and now they're really old and it's not as cool to be it i think it's way cooler now to be the old 14 no it's not cool either no you're right losers yeah i mean yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah.

Well, now my day is killed. I think you'll be fine. Oh, it'll be fine today. Mark Recky. Mark Recky, former teammate of yours from the team. Yep, Mark Recky. Great dude. Those old guys are all good, aren't they?

Like, who that played in the 80s and 90s was a dick? I don't know. You weren't allowed to be. No. They beat you up, literally. They would literally beat the shit out of you. And I'm going to beat you up. Yeah.

And I'm going to beat you up actually before you make the team. You can do it in training camp, even though we're on the same. I don't care. You're a dick. We don't want you. Yeah. Yeah, I guess at the end of the day, you're not going to be a dick if you want to keep your teeth. Yeah.

Yeah. Or keep your face configuration. That was a different game back then for what I can see. But. Well, do we got to let you go? Wow. I'm being totally honest. I probably should have got on the scooter 40 minutes ago.

I hope you can find a good scooter. There's in case you haven't noticed, there's a fair bit of construction in the area. I know, there's lots going on. I know. It's faster to scooters than drive for sure. Pender will tell you if you're coming from the east, there's nothing going on. It's like there's nothing happening. This whole place is trying to turn this into like the Stephen Ave of Mardellute.

I guess so. Yeah. It's like walk. I don't know what's going. It's only taken three years and they haven't really gotten anywhere. They aren't even close. It's going to take five more years at least. you've been to New York, obviously. Yeah.

And so in New York City, they can put up a skyscraper and not affect traffic at all. But sidewalks. Sidewalks. It'll get you. It'll get you. It'll get you. Yeah. There's a lot of changes going on around here.

Well, you should have one more beer. Well, I'll finish up the business here. Are we still on the Pinder report? Where the hell is Pender? Where is it? We haven't started the Pender report? No. Oh, my God.

Pinner report brought to you by Villasown. Yeah, I want to hear this Pender report. Yeah, it's really good today. Do you want to read through the read? I was just going to say, I really put my heart into it. Village Honda, they want to buy your pre-owned vehicle. So if you're like Commodore and you're just selling everything. Yeah.

That's right. Talk to them at Village Honda. If you get a deal done, payment in 24 hours. Good. I need cash. Like that, VillageHonda.com. The other day Pinder comes in and he's mad because he went to the golf simulator. And he said, well, these things aren't real.

with the golf simulator? Yeah, and I'm like, well, no, you're hitting into a screen off the turk. Well, it's not realistic. I shot 84 at Pebble. It's just not real. I'm like, oh, it's a golf. It's a game.

Who pays attention to their score on a simulator? I mean, Mr. Details has to have it. He's not good at make believe. If it's not statted out and support. So what's he going to a simulator for? Thank you.

Thank you. Like, what was this? To analyze his game and work on his shirt. Yes, he's working on his club face. He had the yips around the great. Oh, I feel his pain there. Yeah. Uh, big game last night, five nothing was the final.

Yeah. Florida beats Carolina. Bennett, two goals tied with Mika Ranton for the playoff leading goals with nine for Hagee, three assists. Kachuk gets his first goal in 11. Dregor was on before you hopped on and just talking about the depth. that they've got. Bennett used to play here, didn't he? Yeah, sure. I think so. Yeah.

This was the first game where Florida had a multi-goal a multi-goal score since game one. They've scored 55 goals. Oh my goodness. It's like I need one of these. 18 different players. They've had seven different D-Men scoring.

Just everybody's having a party. You just don't shut that one combo down and beat this team. Oh, so they're good. Paul Maurice, 28 and 0 are the Panthers under Maurice when they have a lead at the end of the first or second period in the playoffs. 28 and 0? That's tight. It's not bad. That's tight. You're going to win a lot of games like that. Yeah. And what does it mean when you have a lead like this? Well, in any best of seven, you go 2 and all when you're the road team. They've won 80% of the series. In a conference final, road teams up 2 O have won 20 of 21. Oh, boy. Rod's not going to like that.

No, Rod, do you like that math? Oh, boy. I hope Rod's not tuning in. How do you feel? He ain't going to like that. He'll be agitated.

Some injuries. Sam Reinhart took a, took a bit of a hip check. He left the game, I believe, in the first period and did not return.

So there's some concern there. I guess we're going to look at it. It's not totally, but he's not watching. That's the only. He's not watching. watching. So Hawtho came over and clipped them pretty good there.

Okay. And, uh, yeah. Well, they seem to be just fine without them. Yeah, they bounced back. Yeah, they bounced back. Seth Jarvis got clunked in this one. He also, he's the leading score for the hurricanes left the hockey game. I think he came back for four shifts or something like that.

Oh, that's enough. That's a hard hit. Oh, you see that? His buddies will be pissed off. Yeah, his buddies from Winnipe. pick they were going to drive down to they didn't i thought i saw something they're there oh that's on the chin yeah that's right on the uh that's on the button it's on purpose too i think that's on purpose i believe so see like that what's that guy's last name that d man micha lecola like how is not

something i don't understand how things operate in the n-h-ohs how is not somebody taking a healthy five nothing. Nicola is not going to beat you up. No. But like you said, who's going to do it on that team? Gossus Bear can't drop his gloves. Well, I'll tell you what, I think their best option would be of Tim Gleason threw some gear on. Tim Gleason could do it. Tim Gleason was tough. Yeah.

Sneaky tough. I saw, did Steve Grimson just turn 60? Is he still around in Carolina? He was scared of hell. Get the Grimmy brain. That's right. Jesse Booleryst lives in town. Sure. Financial advisor. Give him some skate. go after it. Oh, he's not shy. Nope.

At all. So he's saying Brent Burns. Because here's what happened. So this, Burns has been around for a million years. Sean Walker got injured. So he's one of the D-Man, obviously. Jalen Chatfield defenseman,

he didn't play, he's hurt. So then Sean Walker goes down. Poor Burnsy, 40 years old, played 27 minutes last night. Is anybody else? He can skate. Yeah, they're in trouble. He's had an amazing career, longevity-wise,

obviously. Started as a forward. Forward. It's amazing. Tonight game number two between the Oilers and the stars. We know what happened in game one. It was glorious. Who we're cheering for?

Dallas. I will say, though, the Oilers are good. Yeah. I think if I'm the LA Kings right now, I'm a little bit sick to my stomach. Can you imagine? They've effed that up, Royal. I talked to, not the name drop or anything, but I gave them more like a week or two, but I've become buddies with Drew Doughty.

And so I called him after. And I'm like, dude, he's like, man, he goes, we've given getting pounded by these guys. He's like, I legit think we had a better team this year. Oh, I thought they. Yeah, I thought they looked. And man, that one, you know, you don't want to lay it on one guy, but if old byfield just literally, the don't call, all you got to do like this. You got Evan Bouchard. You know he ain't going to play D.

Chip. Just this. That's it. Probably scoring the empty net anyway. Yes. You're going to beat him to the bucket. He's not going back. He's selling the farm.

You do that in a tie game. Yeah, the L.A. King's got to be. But I will say, the Oilers look good. Darnel staying on, I didn't see the last game, but Darnel's been staying on his feet, which is, I saw Ken Holland the day after you took a rat. I took a run at Bouchard, like early in the series. Yeah.

Because he was terrible. Captain casual. Oh, my God. Like, do you care? at all. He goes and scores a hundred points. I know. He's putting up points.

Somebody's going to pay him. And don't get me wrong, he can, but if he ends up going somewhere else and there's no more McDavid and dry silent, I don't get me wrong. He's good. He's going to put up points, but that guy has moments where it's,

it's scary. What's he going to be looking for? 12. Be three point night and still be the worst defenseman on the ice. God, must be nice. You ever have a three point? Back to you, Dean.

Back to me. Oh, back to the. been a report. Yeah, so that game two tonight between those two. We talked with Dregor Shanahan Dunn in Toronto was hired in 2014, April. So long time. Shannaplan. Hired Mike Babcock in 2015. Yeah, they did.

Traffed Matthews. Thank God that didn't work out. That's all I got to say. It's a good thing you're done. So there it is. I'm proud of the rebuild. Came in. Didn't win. Nope.

11 years, nine playoff appearances, two playoff round victories, hired and fired Lou Lamarillo, fired Kyle Dubas, hired Trillivin, fired Babcock, hired Sheldon Keith, fired Keefe, hired Barubi, gave all the guys the money to some controversy. Matthews, shorter-term deal, Marner Money, Tavaris, that whole thing. Remember Patrick Marlowe came in, and Al Dragger was saying, he's part of the decision-making process,

but you can't lay it all at his feet. But Patrick Marlow goes to Toronto when it felt like this guy's finally done, right? Right. Then they had to trade a first rounder to Carolina so they could take him and his cap hit. So just that, sorry. Well, and then they drafted Seth Jarvis with that pick. And they did the same thing with Peter Marazek, signed him to a deal. And then we need that money back.

So they traded a first rounder to Chicago so that they would take Marazic. So question to either one of you, you bring in Marlowe and everyone thought he was done in this blah blah blah whatever that he kept playing it seemed like and God is the most games ever what but that's when Matthews was there and I don't know that they lived together but man I do think I remember Matthews saying how much he looked up to Marlow and how much Marlowe taught him about playing in the league Chicago has a kid by the name but dar and we're all ripped up to Marlow and we're all ripped up to Marlow and how much Marlowe taught him about playing in the league Chicago has a kid by the name Butar and we're all ripping on the Blackhawks organization for not giving him a supporting cast. Okay. We can say that the Marlowe signing and you give up the draft pick

and Jarvis is the guy that Carolina gets in this and that. Is that the cost of doing business to support a guy like Matthews? Because we can we can shit talk the least not getting Jarvis and bringing in Marlowe, but maybe it had an influence on Matthews becoming a better player. And we can shit talk Chicago because, well, they haven't done anything to support these guy.

He's out there on an island and he's supposed to do it on. What's the? I don't think you can give it to him about not drafting. I mean, it's easy to say, you know, but if they have that pick, there's no guarantee they're picking.

No, I'm just saying. Yeah, yeah, no, when you're looking back, there's no other way to break it down. Yeah,

like are you, who's the right? And I don't even know if it's relevant. But he did have. That's the worst case scenario is when you bring in a veteran guy and then you've got to give up a first to get him off your roster. So you can get that cap hit back. They've got Folino in Chicago. They probably feel like he's a guy.

They brought in Taylor Hall and then traded him away. Right. I don't know. It's, it's a, I don't know what the recipe is. Anyway, so Shanahan's gone. They're talking about it right now for whatever that's worth. GM of the year candidates were announced. Bill Zito would feel like, boy, all this love for the Florida Panthers.

Does their GM get any love? It might be time. Kevin Sheppleday off, Jim Nail, Bill Zito, the three finalists, Winnipeg, Dallas, and Florida. Who's one of the Jack Adams this year? Don't tell me, Scott Arniel. President's true.

In conversation, for sure. Oh, definitely. Yeah. Finishing second behind that Washington guy? Hopefully. Yeah, probably Carberry. Yeah, could be Carberry. I hope so.

I will say I've been kind of, I know he's, because that's voted on, the Jack Adams has voted on, I think by like media personalities and stuff like that. You get to vote? Well, I got rid of one of his votes. You talked to. Yeah.

Talk to somebody at the golf course that asked him like, don't vote for him. He goes, okay, I won't. So I know he's not getting a vote from one certain person. So I did my job. Matches me. Math comes out and buy a single vote. Congrats to Sprintz.

A million dollar bonus. Outwindow son of. Oh, tough luck, Scott. Well, I know you guys, you guys would have been keeping a close eye in the world men's world hockey championships. Wouldn't miss it. Did I read? Yep. Denmark.

Outshot Canada. 22 to 10 in the third scored two late goals to eliminate Canada from the world hockey championships. In the quarters? They were out drinking, those bastards. It was a fun. Did you ever play in the way? No, I said no. Once that I got asked.

And you told them pound sand? I was going to Australia. Oh, Jesus Christ. Lanny McDonnell literally called me in the vehicle. I'm with Brian Campbell and Max are fit a getoff. And we're driving to Toronto to catch the flight to Australia. Okay. I guess that's kind of tough.

Sorry, Lanny. Hey, Lanny, no, I'm good. And I was about the 18th defenseman they called that year. I know. Where was it? Where was the tournament? Don't know. Don't know.

Probably somewhere shitty if they were calling you. That's why they called me. I said, Russia. Okay. Fair enough. Denmark. Denmark. Up and comers.

they're using AI for their practice plans Nikolai Eelers I believe had the tying goal oh Eelers okay any other that would be the only NHL player no thing you'll recognize there I think so yeah Denmark they got in final day of the prelims they wanted to shoot over Germany host team they were very excited good they're very happy and very excited I don't think anyone here cares got to be the biggest uh it's got to be one of the biggest

wins for the Dutch Dutch history Dutch, Netherlands. They all love fest with all Crosby and. Yeah, that's right. They all love, yeah, they were probably boozing. I hope so. Oh, yeah.

But, hey, that's not an excuse. You can booze. Show up and win. Yeah. Memorial Cup opens tonight in Ramoski. Do you ever playing the MEM Cup? Lost. Quebec League champion, Moncton Wildcats.

The O.HL champs are the London Knights. HL representatives, the Madison Hat Tigers, and, of course, the host, Ramuski Oceanic. It's a good host team.

Luke. Luke, I knew it was an L. I've only seen him once. It was over at your house back when you lived here before and you had me over to your house. I think I was with Z and Bondo and those guys. And I came over and I could not believe. I go, who is that? And how old is he? How old is he now? 16. 16. So he would have been about 12, maybe 11. And he was, he was six feet.

My height. Yes. He was huge. He was hanging out with kids his own age, foot and a half taller than all of them. Yeah, stuff. I'm like, that's your kid, bro. She's like, yeah, I was still playing. Comey, a lot of road trips. Okay. Jeez.

Jesus. Wait, congratulations. A lot of tigers? Tigers, yeah. Okay, not that it matters, but what round? Second two. Oh, we got some expect. They drafted young, young Luke Warner and Brock Lesnar's kid.

I didn't know what was the Tigers, but I saw his kid. So cornering the market in Gronks, potentially, as you put it. It's going to be Rhett and Brock Lesnar. I can't tag team. I can't wait to party with Brock and Sable. Oh, oh, boy. God, I'll tell you what, I might have to start going. Yes, you're a fan of Will.

We're going to get the band to go. I think I might be, give my, what do we got? Maybe next year, year after? I might have to buy some season tickets. We're going to have a lot of time. We're going to have a lot of medicine. Sweet. I love medicine.

We play the Desert Bloom. All of the, well, Kenny Holland was, I was down watching game two of the dub finals, and Kenny was there playing Desert Bloom with his boys. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, Kenny. Kenny, blows up my phone. Oh, yeah, gets the job, LA.

Right from Minnesota to LA. Yeah, right. Oh, I knew he was getting something to do. He tried to lie to me for a couple of years. No, no, no, I'm done. I'm done. I'm like, what are you going to do? He's like, no, I just want to play golf.

He's a member at the same place I'm at in Arizona. I'm like, well, okay. I'm like, how long is that going to last? He said, no, no, I just want to come down here, chill out, play golf. You go, Ken, you play way too much golf within one month. Everybody at this golf course, the staff is going to hate you. You're going to be sick and tired of it. You're going to get worse.

Then what are you going to do? He's like, give him a couple months. I think I'm going to start working again. I'm like, yeah, no shit. Put my name back out in the mix. What do you think he's made? I text him now when he gets a job, Ken will respond to me in five seconds when he's unemployed.

Now that he's employed, I'll say, send him a message. You know what? I don't blow his phone up. Yeah. He ain't responded. It takes him like two weeks. What do you think he's making? I'm going to find out. It's not free. Oh, it's it'll be very good money. First number of five. I would think around that. He just came off five times five is. I mean, he's got a great resume. I think it's got to be three times five. Well, you got to afford a place down there. It's so expensive. Can't make a lot of money, spend a lot of money. Kenny, Kenny watches this too. I know he does. he's got so much money it's coming right out of his ass good to have you kenny appreciate you

Things are looking good. Ripping on Babs, so I already had him one time before. Kenny's sitting there dealing. He's like, yeah, yeah. I get bought out. Who calls first five minutes? Ken Holland. I'm like, talk to my agent.

Anyways, I'm like, I'll call you back. I go, Ken, 15 minutes to sign. I go, you know, I hate your coach. I'd love to play for you and I'd love to play in Detroit, no question. But I'm like, your coach is an asshole and tried to end my career once. I'm like, I'm not coming back. I go, does he want me? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm like, are you sure? I go, Kemp, do you believe him? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give me his number. And then Babbs does the same shit. It's not on the contract. Before I know it, I'm playing for Admiral Vladivostok. What a career path.

Jesus Christ. With Cannon, next thing I know, I'm in the San Francisco or Russia. You know what's nice, though? Every time I talk to playing in all these 10 hours. Yeah, it is nice that you've laid off Babcock now. You know, that you've turned that page? I'm over it. Yeah.

It's growth. It's real good. I think by the time I get to 50, I'd like to mature a little bit. Yeah, you're, don't rush. No, you're right. Oh, there's some other thing. I do want to mention the Calgary surge.

They're in action. People are going to be pissed on. We told you to leave. You show up five beers deep. It'll be great. Invite them here. We'll just keep the show rolling. You know how to run a live stream.

The surge. They host Winnipeg on Sunday. Same two teams are. in Winnipeg tonight. The sea bears. The sea bears. And the Calgary Surge basketball. What hell is that?

The Western basketball. Oh. We got tickets. We got tickets. What the hell are they called? The Calgary surge against the old sea bombs of Winnipeg. The Winnipeg Sea Bears. Okay.

A lot of polar bears and Churchill. It's a VIP table for four. Not just seats. We're getting you down on the floor VIP table. There you go. You got a table on the floor? That's correct. Follow Flames Nation on Instagram,

follow the surge in Instagram, comment on the post and who you might bring with you. Tag a ball. We'll pick a winner tomorrow. You'll have the tickets sent to your inbox. Go surge. Damn right. Where do they play?

Oh, a winsport. It's awesome. They got a basketball court there? They do. On that big ice? On the main arena. They got a great fan base. They're into it.

Okay. And they play different. Have you heard this? How does it work? It's the target score. What? Yeah. Just takes a second.

You got to... Jesus, I feel like I got to crack. Yeah, crack another one. You do. These guys are going to be so pissed at me. You're not that big of hits. See, it's... You know what, Rhett?

You're always right. Here you go. There you go. What are you having there, Rhett? What's, what do you... This is the... This is from origin, D. Okay, yeah.

This is the long days. Hazy IPA. I'm a big fan. You are. And what do you got there, Michael? You know what? I'm looking at this and it looks like death. I got the origin.

You're going to love it. I got a Mexican logger. The Mexican logger. Which actually works out perfect because I was hanging out with a Mexican last night. His name's Scott Gomez. He's a Mexican and he's from Alaska. Yeah. Is he right from Mexican Alaska combo?

Born and raised. Born and raised. Mexican. Mexican. Guatemala. There ain't too many. Maybe there's more now, but. What were you saying?

Not tickets for the search. No, no. You were doing the hotel. I don't even know. I don't really know. You get to a certain amount of time left. in the game. How much time, Jack, do you know? What is this target? I have no idea. So it's like two minutes left in the game.

I don't know. Hang on. Jesus. There's no clock to end the game. It's a score differential. And then it'll be the first team to get to. Yeah, they had like nine points or something. Nine more points.

What do you mean nine points? We're talking about basketball, right? So say one team's up nine has 90 points. Okay. Are you calling someone? I am. Oh, who are you calling? falling pender he could explain it's coming through my head he will be the guy that'll answer his phone on the golf course

oh yeah he's always staring at it you ever play golf with pender once a couple times oh i just went he doesn't stop moving this guy can't relax oh dude i'm in his card a couple times i'm ready to kick kick his ass right out yeah he's always if it's not that he's grabbing his clubs he's looking for numbers his hands are going everywhere he's grabbing teas he's making bets he's on his phone he's dude get out out yeah So anyway, that's how that works. Also, I'll look it up.

Google it. Yeah. AI will answer the question. Why don't you, hey, Jack, why don't you Google it? I have it. The target score is 89.

So once a team gets to 80, then they have to score nine points to win the game. And then it just ends. How do they determine the targets? Is that not it? Well, the target store is not always 89. Is it?

No. like I thought once it Why don't they just play? I thought once it was when you get down to a certain amount of time left on the clock. This is great. They add nine points. Sorry, yes,

they add nine. It's about a certain point. So say that the- We need to add nine. You get to the final. So two minutes left. Okay. One team is in the lead.

They have 90 points. So then it becomes first team to 99 points. So with the other teams at 80, they have to score 19. 19 points to win. So 90's the number. Are we saying that? Or whatever the score is in two minutes left.

At that time, they had nine. So let's say with two minutes left, the score is 50 to 40. Yep. Whoever gets the 59 wins. Correct. Yep. No clock. Every game is kind of a walkoff.

Okay. I mean, I guess I've never heard of that. I guess I'm not going to rip on it. I've never seen it. Maybe it's awesome. That's great. Yeah. Maybe I should go watch a game.

Wednesday. Sunday. If you want to go, I'm sure. What time? there are any tickets available? What about that table? There will be there will be ticket. I guarantee whoever wins a table

would love to have a seat with him. Yeah, that's good point. Tickets available. Good seats available for Sunday at Winsport. Okay. And Calvary FC, they're riding a three-game win streak within the Canadian Premier League play. They're playing these Canadian championship and these other games again, Pender will tell you

all that. I have been one of those games. They're great. Are they still down at Bruce Meadows? And what a match? This will be Sunday 3 o'clock. Are they playing? They have got the win. Winnipeg, Valor. We're Winnipeg's well represented around here.

Okay. Calvary's third in league play. Where's Winnipeg? I'm not even sure. This Ottawa team, top of the table, way out in front. Be the only thing in Ottawa that's top of the table. Right. So there you go.

We don't need to go down that road. Good luck to Tommy and Calvary FC. Tommy's a good guy. I've heard him. Awesome guy. Very nice. Yeah. It's a fun time for,

I can't speak to the basketball, but I have been to, football, soccer game, whatever, it's a good time. Both are great. Both are a great time. I'm sure both are fantastic.

I don't know if I'm going to make of this lunch anymore, but I'm, I want, I want the,

Yeah, it tastes great. It's a servosa. It is a crevisa. Scott Gomez would love this thing. Well, take him if you. Should take him some, yeah. Should, yeah. The problem is I got a scooter back to the hotel, and he's at the lunch, which I'm supposed

Yeah. I'd say it'd probably be a draw. Red could fight.

There's no question about it. And then, well, when it happened, you know, during Rhett's career, I'd say I was making league minimum. Ret wasn't. So Rhett would have been buying the beers. I'll fine with that as long as we're drinking them. It's going to say you're still fine with that. Pre-career, post-career, you're buying it.

Don't matter. Thank you, handsome, Dan. That's a great question. Yeah. Ten bucks, too. 10 bucks making money for the kids vacation rentals and there's adam he's got five bucks he just says for the kids there we go just for the kids and it's just fun this lunch you kiss my ass I know I know right this is nice for the kids Mike we do this every day here we're give us and it's so great kids like and

He tried steal your beer, too. He likes to drink. He would enjoy that. He'll be very sad to know that you came in. And you guys started crushing beers mid-shell. He will be devastated. I am surprised he didn't call you back or something, because you know he'll be checking his phone in his golf bag.

It'll be every second or third job. There's no chance he can sit in his golf cart and just relax. No. Can't do it. Like zero. Can't do it. Zero. Yeah.

I said, I thought about driving right next to the river and kicking his ass right out of it because I was driving. 699. There we go. Tommy's for the kids. I am for the kids. Yep. All about the kids. Giving back.

Community. Yep. Caring. That's why I do these charity events. That's right. You know, I haven't been fortunate enough to have kids for myself. so I like to give to other people's kids. That's right.

It's all I do is donate a taser. Yeah. Oh, man, I can't start teasing kids. I'm kidding. I'm not going to taste kids unless they really need it. Unless it's rats, kid. Unless they need it. That big motherfucker.

I'll tase him. Well, I'm not going to fight him. It may not work. Can he kick your ass? That's a better question. It's not good right now. Okay. It's got to be getting close.

I think that I'm mean enough and smart enough to handle it. Does he have a little grit to it? It's getting there. It's getting me. Do you think the Tigers made a good choice drafting your kid? Well, he's got work to do. I'll let him know. Is he mean?

He can be mean. Okay. That's a good start. Those are the reports I've gotten over the years is that. Warner's kid. You just went out this, got the other case. Now, what's going to happen, though, Warner's kid has also been a foot and a half taller.

Oh, I know. Other guys are going to catch. I've told him it's a whole lot. life. I'm like, just because you're big now doesn't mean F all. Okay. Okay, good. Good. He's still big. Just not twice as big. Okay. Well,

let's see how good of a parent you are. Oh, I'm a good parent. Well, I know you're, I'm talking just in the hockey. I know you're a great. Is he smart? Is he my kid forgot his cup shorts for lacrosse last night? The berating that child suffered would,

Be great if you did.

Oh, man. You come back anytime. They're always there. That'll be the last time I see an email. This is, this feels like the day. Gordy Halcares ain't sent an email because they're going to be like, Mike Commodore doesn't care.

This feels like the day that Cobby got sent to the miners and we went to Joey Tomatoes and he would not stop. And it was six in the morning and his flight was at seven. And I'm like, okay, do you think you should go to the airport? I'm like, well, I try. Like, that was the funnest time I ever got. sent down. I will say I got sent down a million times up and down all the time, not just here, but everywhere until after the lockout. But then when I got sent, it was done. But I was pissed

off. And what pissed me up, not the fact that I got sent down. This was 0304. Yeah, the year we went to the finals. What pissed me on, wasn't the fact that I got sent down. I knew there was good defenseman there and I knew I was in tough. I had a good camp, but whatever. What pissed me off is they let me put my goddamn gear on. Go out. And I'm like, look, I'm not the, I'm far from the best player on this team. Like, I need to be out there early for practice. So I put my fucking shit on. I go out there for practice.

They know they're sending me down. Not a word. So I'm out there skating around this. You guys, they come get me. So I'm out on the ice. Hey, we're sending you down. And that was, I was fucking livid. And I went off the ice.

these guys, retin these guys are practicing. I message a friend of mine. I'll see if I make it to this lunch, I'm supposed to go over to a local at 2.30. I will be there for that. High school friend of mine runs the, now he runs the locals. At the back of the day, he was Joey's.

I go, what are you doing? I'm coming. He goes, I'm at Joey's Chinook. I go, I'll be there in an hour. So I went back, packed my bag. I walked out. I was livid. That the fact, just that they, the way they did it.

The way they did it. I wasn't pissed off being sent out. I probably knew that. It should have been. Monty had not outplayed you, but anyway. I love Monty. We all do. Yeah, 100%.

I go, I drop my bag off in the hotel. My clothes are there. It's at the fire. We're in full circle. It's all coming together. I'm still there. Went down to Joey's and I put a clinic on. And he really did.

Yes. It was still. started at lunch, these guys were still practicing. And you know what? It was a great group of guys. I can't, these guys took shifts. So it'd be like Rhett would come in for a couple hours. Noodles would come in.

They'd be come in. Christoph Oliva came in. They'd come in for a little bit. It'd be like, hey, hey, okay. And they kind of shuffle in and out because they have to go about their days. I floored it the entire day. And I'm, well, I made my flight. No, you did not.

Oh, no, I didn't make my flight. no you did not i tried to get you to go and you're like i don't fucking care i'm not going like i don't know what am i going to do i remember i remember kicking you and like hey you have to leave your dot like your flights go ah i'll be fire i'll get the next one god that was a great day other than the fact that i was pissed off yeah and you were headed to wherever the hell the farm team was Well, I'll tell you exactly where it was. It was called Lowell, Massachusetts, and let me tell you for,

I'm guessing that anybody who's is watching this has never been to Lowell. Lowell is a dump. You were going to be a lock monster. Oh, lock monster. And I was a good fucking player there. Of course you were half a point. You played there two years. Oh, yeah.

Yes, you did turn to lockout because I gave it. I should have been an all star there too. Yeah, you should. It's the only time I got screwed, I would say. I should have been an all star, but my name wasn't big enough. You got Jay Boomerster playing in San Antonio doesn't give a shit. Sweet Willie D's boy out of Medicine Hat.

Yeah. Don't get me wrong. Good player. So I didn't make the All-Star team. Same stride as you. Yeah. Do we have that goal? Yeah, we were like similar players.

Didn't make the All-Star game. So anyways, last note. So I went to the All-Star game. You went watched? It was in law. I put a Chuck Cobas-Duce. He's still kind of mad to this day. Chuck and Eric Stoll.

we're on the all-star team i wasn't which i didn't give a shit didn't matter but manchester's like 30 40 minutes from lull so i'm like i got nothing to do and eric and i staller and i were going to new york city after this game so i'm like fuck it's well so i put on chuck still mad to this i should have put on a cobusoo i put on a staller he took his jersey right out of his stall put it on and went and got blitz blitzed in the lower deck man Manchester, great arena, packed probably like 12,000 people in one. Leading the church. And I'm, I'm up there a little bit, but I'm, when things are calm, when I start yelling,

they can hear me. So I'm yelling at Chuck. I'm yelling at Ergstall. I got the Lowell Lock Monster booster club who's up in like section, the upper deck, sending beers down. So I literally didn't leave my seat unless I, otherwise I would have pissed my pants, but went to the bathroom back. there was beers everywhere.

God, I had a, that might have been my most enjoyable experience watching a game. Watching a hockey game. I had a great time. Other people, this guy's a huge fan. He's got a game worn jersey on. Eric Stahl, it's stall on the back. I'm like, this is crying. Yelling at the players.

Big supporter. Yelling at them. They're actually looking. Anyways, okay, I got to go to this. Yeah, let's go. Push the buck. So after that. See, he's doing it.

I'm telling you, he's going to try and keep. So do you get called back to the end? Because then it went lockout and you just made the two. seem no then i broke my face in san jose and he was back and forth all year that year a little bit then i broke my face and he came up and played and then i think you're around the rest of the year what are you talking about no yeah when you came back you got sent down at the start of 0304 oh 3 oh oh sorry yeah that was that was the lockout year the allster game yeah yeah so i got sent down i was down for the first half of the year i got called up i would say uh probably like halfway

through whenever it was january i know it was because it was around my birthday i got a stick in the faced by that stick in San Jose. What's his? Alan McCauley, cheap bastard. Just kidding. It was a mistake. And I remember I drove to Red Deer for my buddy's wedding and was driving back. It was a snowstorm.

I should not have been on the road. And I told Darrell, I'm going to play the next day. And he's like, no, you're not. You're an idiot. Mike's playing. Oh, okay. And then you fought that big, he was juiced up so bad.

Yeah. The big tan and, oh. Oh, what was his name? Anaheim. I was that, what the, he used to. He didn't hardly play. He was the dude that played for the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks for every game, because I had played for him after he was there.

He rubbed his entire body with, like, icy cold. Yeah. One of those things. The old icy. Carrot? He might be passed away, actually. Anyways. I'm not trying to.

No, no, I know. I had to do. And anyway, that's when it came up. Yeah, I got called up and then the flames, they didn't want to pay me my salary. So I got called up, played a couple games. There was an All-Star break. I ended up playing.

Did you not stick around for All-Star? They sent me back down. I ended up playing. I thought you were in Bant with us at Ulster. I thought that was your picture. No, I was back in Lowell, playing, grinding out in the jungle. That sucks. I ended up playing with the travel, Lowell to Calgary, which is not close.

It's Boston to Calgary. I ended up playing, I'm going to screw this up a little bit, but I ended up missing both All-Star breaks. I ended up playing like nine games and 10 nights with travel. With travel. And then back here that Ronald Petroviki, that asshole, who I don't know, ran me from behind and clipped me, and I blew up my shoulder and I was out for six weeks.

Then I had to take care of Christoph Oliva around here. I just want to know who the guy, and then we can go. Who this is real four. Bernard maybe. I can't remember. There's the O3O, Anaheim Ducks? Yeah. That's the O3.04 Ducks.

That's near the bottom of the roster. It's going to be PIM based. Definitely wasn't somebody at that top. Garrett Burnett. Yeah, it was Burnett, yeah. Well, I had to leave an impression, Rhett. Anyways, and then blew my shoulder out. You recuperated.

Yeah. And then did you go back down once he was back? Right back to me. Right back. Did you feel bad for your buddy? No, he didn't. Well, I loved to have him. Yeah, I wanted him around.

I thought Darrell was an idiot to keep this guy. They needed me down in Lowell. Somebody has to run the power play. That's right. He's doing good things. He'd be one. Developing. It was down there developing.

Oh, yeah. I'd tell you what. I did enough to marinate and I was fortilline starting to turn into fungus. Let's go. What are you going to say? What should we do? We're going to. Push the button.

I should go to this lunch. Table 21 probably thinks of a stumped. Well, then if I have, I'll play the horn then. One more super chat coming in for the U.S. Ed is a Gallagree. For Patty C, big five bucks. I remember coming off the plane in Y, Y,

Y, C, after game seven, saying, this is amazing. Look at this crowd. I mean, we just lost. I did say that. Yep. hashtag it was in. Yeah.

And Martin Sondberg and Brennan Evans. I think are still pissed off at me because I wasn't driving. because I was smashed. Not allowed. Yeah, no, I was not driving. And they were in the car. And, you know, they had. Why do they mad about?

Well, because they were in the car that we were taken back to the international hotel. But they hadn't played much. Brandon played a couple. Sonny didn't. So they were sitting in the car waiting for me. So I went out, I'll be like, look, I can't. I got to go sign. Well, a couple of things turned out.

Oh, you read down the whole roll up. I was there for two, three hours. they were sitting in the car man of the people just he's always giving back to the kids always giving back to the kids that'd be a good question who were the black aces like Sonnenberg

Martin Saunnenberg lives just north here up near Edmont yeah he's right with Tasquit yeah Brennan Evans yeah played a couple games his only own games I saw Lynn Loins on the lake at McKenzie Lake like Lynn Loins 10 years ago

Lynn Loins Brent Cron yeah Cronner was here me Well, I ended up playing a decent amount. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And when did you come in? Game four.

And I was, of which round? First round. So I came in game four. Denny Goethe, me, Gonzs. I came in game four and then Lidman, Lidman, Lidman.

Don't call him fucking Lidman. Lodman doesn't make any sense. Great guy. He was out game and Steve Monitor came in game five. And then that lasted until my last game as a Calgary flame was God, not a great game four against Tampa. I'll never forget this. We lost the game

won nothing. Here. Here. That fucking Fraser. That fucking Frazier called, I mean, this is not today's rules. I cross-checked and I ended up playing with Freddie Modine and Columbus. I cross-checked on the hip. It was not dirty, nothing. Carrie Frazier called me and Chris Clark. Two minor penalties at the same fucking time. None of them were.

I mean, it was not. It was fine. If you were watching it, honestly, you wouldn't even notice it. Five on three, one nothing. I'm still in touch from today. Jim play fair, good dude. I ended up playing. That was the last shift I ever had his Calgary.

Yeah, well, I hafted up for you because I had the puck on my stick, whiffed on an outlet pass, right? fucking Brad fucking whatever is there. Richards. Yes, stick and fucking. Shit. I forgive you, Ray. Thanks, buddy. But yeah, my last, that was my last shift as Calgary Flame. I watched the rest of the game

from the bench. I think I played like two minutes that night. And I came in and I'll never, I'll never forget this. And we still text. I'm friends with Jim Playford to this day. And I don't even know if he remembers. So literally, I, it was a cross-checked. to the hip that the puck was right there. I can't believe it was a penalty. Don't play anymore. That's it.

Ledman comes back. I'm out. And I will never forget. I'm in the gym working out. And Jim play fair comes and grabs me. This is after we lose. We lose one nothing. Yanks me into Rich Hesketh's office. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I mean, comes unglued on me. I played one fucking minute. comes unglued any.

Did you only play that much in that game? We could look it up if it's under five. All I'm getting at is that that means I played way too much. I could have used to shift off. Jim loses it on me. It's just me and him in the office. And I've never, you know, I respect coaches, other babs and fucking Arneal. But, and I'm like, it was the only time that I like fucking lost it.

And I love Oly Suprikan. but, you know, he's a Russian. He has some days where whatever. He don't know if he's playing. He compared me. I literally did barely play. And Jim and I went fucking at it in the strength coach's office, not at it like fighting, but motherfucking each other.

Motherfucking each other. And that was my last moment as a Calgary play. But Jim and I are still buddies to this day. I don't even think he remembers, to be honest. He might. I don't know if he does. Get him on one day. Yeah.

and I have nothing but nice things to say about Jim. I was pissed for probably about a decade. I'm over it now. That's a hard one though. Because like you say, it's one nothing and the Mard. Kerry Frazier, did he go right here again?

I don't think he did. Oh, there. It was one of the worst. You fucking kidding me? Especially with those rules. Well, terrible.

Was it not Frazier that called the penalty on Farrants with no time left in game seven? It was like a fucking hit, a great hit by Farrants. Yeah. On St. Louis behind the net it's like you're going to call a fucking penalty now on a hit piece yeah let's end on a better note what can we do to well because it's been so great i've had a great one more beer crack another beer he's doing it see this is what he does boomer now i'm starting to get
