Oh, buddies. It's a game day here in the city as the center of the universe comes to our little, our little community, our little hamlet here in Western Canada.
We'll be graced by all that is, Leaves Nation.
Our humble Western outpost, Dean, it's not often we get dignitaries as important as those who are passing through for a very brief moment in time here in January.
luminaries, dignitaries, visionaries, all of it.
Going to be on the ice.
It's going to be an exciting night.
Exciting night.
Oh, I'm going down.
What's going on?
Down the wrong tube, the old coffee.
You got the Haller G's or?
Nope, just choking on fluids.
Breathe your coffee.
Don't drink it.
That'll really get in you quicker.
You know what I saw at the airport on the way back from Phoenix?
Caffeinated gum.
I've never seen that before.
One piece equal to two espressoes.
Yeah, I mean, let's be honest.
We're all in such good health that all these things that were at,
how did we ever survive without this stuff?
I'm ready for it to just absolutely change my life.
No more coffee, just going to chew in gum.
You know, you get the gut rot from too much coffee.
You don't have any more.
Nope.
Dean's having some misbehavior at the house.
That's what happens when you have dogs and,
kids that rule the roost.
Yeah, the kids are not there.
You gotta be the master of your domain.
He just
he just walked in
with a face cloth
from the linen closet.
He's fired up.
I'm sure he was selective
in just grabbing one.
Christ almighty. It's a game day. Get your helmet on.
That's right, bear.
Come on. It's a game day bear.
Can't be doing this on a game day.
Give me this thing.
But dad, I just want to play.
I don't know.
great start though maybe you should take it outside the the dog outside for a walk the odd time well oh he gets he gets the walks it's just he's uh he's still very much a puppy he should be outside in this weather he's built for this well he loves it he loves it he's one the only donkeys that likes this weather he just sit outside minus 20 love in life again this morning put the two of them outside the uh number one goes outside tip toe tip toe pee races back in the house look
he said,
fuck.
The other guy goes outside,
flump,
sits down on the snow.
Like a day at the beach.
Yeah.
That's not,
that spot where my balls used to be.
Feels so good in the snow right now.
Sorry about that.
When did that go down?
A while ago.
Yeah,
okay.
Yeah.
It's doing okay.
It's really mellowed him out.
It's all right.
It's not riding your leg anymore.
All right.
Let's get to it.
Flames,
Leafs tonight.
What can we?
we tell you, well, the
Toronto Maple Leafs,
they've lost four straight games.
No. Oh dear. Oh, dear.
Shut the front door, Dean.
Calgary Flames.
They've won four straight games.
Oh, dear. What a, what a mismatch
at the old, uh, at the old dome tonight.
Yeah, the old carlough. That way has Toronto minus 1.25.
So, yeah. A real mismatch.
Now, if I told you that these two teams had the same number of wins,
would you be surprised?
I would.
I was too.
I'm waiting for the hook here.
Are you telling you that?
What he is?
Yeah.
21 wins.
The, uh,
Leafs are 21, 13 and 8.
Flames 21, 18 and 5.
So one's eight games over five.
If I believe my,
my eyeballs.
But, um, I don't know.
I just know, Leifes, they're wound up right now.
Big time.
The media, the fans, the people that, they are wound up.
up with this team. They're not happy with what
they're seeing. More than usual?
More than usual. There's a lot
of B'r-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R on
Twitter today. It is
Tre Living's fault. He's done it to us and them.
Oh, and you know, did it to the coyotes even
as an AGM. Was that his fault?
Yeah, I heard he wanted to go to Glendale. He didn't
even like being near Scottsdale.
I hated it. That's his fault too.
For sure, hated it.
Flames are on a heater.
There's no doubt about it.
He didn't want to pop into the studio.
You didn't reach out.
Tree,
because I asked him, I said,
I expect you to be emotional.
Yeah.
And the true living Jumbotron.
Montosh hits.
He's like, I won't be there.
I am going to be scouting.
I'm going to be scouting.
What?
Yep.
Total coincidence.
He's not watching some hockey.
Is this a new thing for him?
Or was it?
Scouting.
Yeah, I don't know.
He used to travel.
with the team almost all the time, but
it might be a good time to get on that scouting.
Does that mean he's going to Red Deer to watch a game or I don't know what that means,
but I don't, it does not sound like he's going to be in attendance tonight.
So makes that awkward.
However, now, wait a minute.
Are we, yeah, he can do as he pleases, but.
Yeah.
Is, I think he owes it to the people of Calgary to be there.
I wouldn't go that far, no.
Oh, come on.
A lot of money to try to make the Leafs good.
And if scouting's the best place to do it today, go get it.
Do the right thing.
You know what it looks like when you don't go, Tree?
Gertity cat.
Calling names here, wow.
Scardy cat.
Do you think that's what it is?
Do you think he's?
Seems pretty convenient.
All of a sudden, he's going scouting on his return to Calgary.
He's just worried about coming into the dome and walking the usual walk and ending up
at the wrong side.
Oh, this is the wrong.
You're not allowed here.
This is the home.
And, no, the visitors press for over there.
Doesn't have a press pass because he's not used to wearing once.
I saw him.
We're going to need to see some identification.
And that's all.
Where's the visitor's entrance?
I don't even know.
Rather than.
You want to see the people that you were commits in with for a decade?
I think he'll be around for quite a while here passing through Calgary once a year.
Do you think he's sheepish?
Do you think he's apprehensive?
It looks that way.
I'm not sure.
Maybe.
I hadn't thought of that.
Well, if he came on, he'd be able to tell us.
Yeah, that's right.
He's just too busy scouting in his afternoon.
game on a Thursday.
You know what?
Honestly,
I was going to,
should we get him on?
Because then you got to go through
Leafs media people.
No,
it's a nightmare.
It's like,
Hey.
And again,
what's he going to say?
Yeah.
We've had him on before when he was here and we love him.
But yeah,
what's he going to say?
No,
you couldn't,
you wouldn't be able to talk hockey with him.
It's like so.
Can you read the CBA to us or what?
Yeah.
How's that,
how are the cactus cuts?
I think they're great.
How many games does Beeb's get to?
How many games?
I don't know.
Here's the word.
Here's the word.
All-Star game is where this year?
Retro.
I don't know.
Yes, you do.
You're going to be there.
It's Toronto.
It's in Toronto, Dean.
Yeah.
Bebs is going to do his little bet with Bennington.
I almost guarantee it.
He's going to get 10 shootout tries.
He scores once.
He wins the bet.
What's the bet?
Red ass stops all 10.
then he wins the bet.
They're going to donate money to charities.
The Bebs is going to be all over this.
I'm telling you, I'm not a big Bebs guy,
but I'm telling you, get ready for a lot of Bebs over All-Star
Brick.
And I know you love the All-Star game, Dean,
so I need your immediate reaction to this.
You know what?
I actually, I respect Bebs.
There's some, you know, talented guy.
He's a very talented guy.
He likes his Leafs.
I think he's actually a decent hockey player from what I've read
and I've seen online.
I don't really know.
It's great that they've got the bet going.
And not to be negative because I know this is one of those things.
I am always,
oh,
people get all worked up.
The all star jerseys are an absolute swing and miss.
I'm done talking about fashion because I just watched 23 year olds say one thing and 50
year old say another and 38 year old say it everything.
It's just like, look,
it's a circle fashion.
What was ugly is now pretty again.
I don't even,
I don't care anymore.
I'm not ranting.
I'm not up in arms.
But,
and every year,
remember,
was it last year in Florida?
they did that kind of the teal and the throwback
and so, hey, sure, looks great.
This one,
this one's,
it's a statement for sure.
We find it, Jack Attack?
I have not seen it or is it out.
Oh, yeah, it's been,
they're up there, yeah, we can throw that up.
Anywho,
what were we just talking about?
Some of the Bebes.
Duret was asking how the Bebs gets to.
Well, I thought you,
you brought in Bebs.
No, you called,
Bennington All-Star game thing.
You called Trillivin'in' a chicken shit.
And then I asked how many
games Beeps goes to.
Yeah.
Okay.
Then we got into the All-Stare.
All right.
Beeps.
Go Toronto?
There's lots of people.
No,
Triliving.
We should talk about the Leaves.
Because I don't think any of us.
Are you guys going down to the rank so that you'd see some of the media?
Totally.
Well, it's happening right now.
I'm not really interested to go and see the team.
I'd like to see the Leafs media.
That's the best.
Yeah, before the game tonight.
You're going to get down there and get into the,
in the mess hall and have some grub with everyone from Leighton nation no oh okay yeah see dean hates
these i'm like they're all-star jerseys for now listen like you've now you've got me hating them
i said it's a swing and a miss i'm not it is oh okay sorry i thought when the swing and a miss is as bad
as it gets what's worse than striking out so that was my getting cut that was my rant no i just
it's um the blue one's okay the red is yeah the yellow i don't like the white i
I don't know.
And again, I need to see
with the name bars and numbers,
it always helps.
Humans wearing them helps for sure.
What are you doing with the socks?
What do we do with the pants?
Can they all have tinted visors, please?
Let's have some fun.
And you know what?
Blake Coleman should be wearing one,
but I don't know if it's going to happen.
Poor Blake.
No, it definitely isn't, yeah.
It's weird how Blake Coleman and the Vesda
trophy candidate aren't going to this game,
but whatever.
Yeah, whatever.
Connie's got to trade an all-star at the deadline.
So here we are.
Okay, so if there is no true living montage then tonight, we should do it.
Will we be emotional for the Callie Yarncroke?
No, because he's been here already.
Has he?
Yeah, last year.
He came through.
Yeah, remember he went up.
He didn't score.
He missed a wide open net.
His first game is aflame after the Trajian Seattle.
Didn't score in the regular season.
And in the playoffs, the last goal of that series where they lost to Edmonton, I think he scored.
So we finally did score as a flame just in time.
time to GTF for it to not matter.
Did, uh,
Jordano? Have we done a George or Jordano?
Yes.
Uh, yes, with Seattle and Toronto.
Teage.
Teage has been a while ago, Dean.
Teage is four years ago because that was, uh,
the same summer that Chris Tanton have came in and he's in the four years.
Uh, Martin Jones, former hitman.
Will he get a, uh, a montage?
No.
All right.
Is Doug Gilmore still playing for the Leafs?
Cause he used to be a flame.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jamie McCowan.
he played for both teams, right?
Excited to have him back.
So anyway, the, the Leafs,
this should be an interesting matchup
because we know what it's like here
when this team, the Flames,
loses four in a row.
Yeah, the puckered, they're tight.
Snare drum tight are the bungholes of Lee's Nation.
Really quick.
Like they were 21, nine,
21, 12, and 7.
Like, they're way over 500.
Okay. And they lose four in a row.
And all it feels like, if you just go hang in the Leafs universe,
like awful team, there's no way they can add at the deadline,
fold the shop, like fire everyone.
The coach is gone.
This GM's a travesty.
Like before this four game skid where they had a lead in every single game,
they're a top five, six team in the NHL.
Like, it is wild how the,
the overreaction goes in this market.
They're an interesting
because they had the lead the other night and lost it.
And we four in a row.
But they also have the ability to do it the other way around
where they'll be trailing, you know, roar back and they'll lose leads.
They can no lead seems insurmountable at times.
They right now though, and I think why there is so much
hue and cry, a ringing.
Trepidation.
Hands and that sort of thing in the four games.
So they lost four or three in overtime to the island.
Then they lost the Colorado 5-3, 4-2 to the wings and 4-2 in Edminton.
That's 17 goals in four games.
Their goal-tending issues are, it's Martin Jones right now because Joseph Wall, who had
been playing pretty well, he's week-to-week, high ankle.
So it's Martin Jones and Ilya Samsonov, who they kind of, they took him away from the team
and took him somewhere just to kind of, let's just get you away from hockey.
let's just sequester you by yourself and talk about your feelings.
This sounds okay.
Could you send me some?
You guys want to send me to?
I thought you were on that file, right?
You are,
that's what you're doing.
You're on your own.
You've left,
you've left everybody behind.
No, no, you have to send me somewhere.
Send me to Belize or somewhere warm.
I like the, no, no, no.
We send you to Buffalo.
You chose your destination.
You feel slow on.
I know it is.
Belize, please.
The shoveler said it was really light and fluffy,
not heavy snow at all. Back's fine today.
It's all right. The shoveler file. It's good to know. Good to know.
Ryan. Yeah.
Could you get us up to speed with some flames news?
Please, yes, of course. Massive news today. There's been a recall from the
HL's Algary Wranglers, Rhett. The heat down the hall, as you call them fondly.
Now, yesterday they placed Dennis Gilbert on IR. They can pull them back tonight.
He's already served the minimum time to be on the aisle.
that allowed them a few hours today to bring up a kid,
play them and skate before waivers clear in a bit,
where Walker Dewar will find out if he's a flame or not,
in the organization or not, in less than an hour here.
It's just a convoluted thing that I'm confused.
These are all things that have happened in the last,
since we last spoke as a group.
Well, the show ended with us finding out Walker Durer was placed their waivers.
We'll find out to be clear as I believe in 18 minutes.
Do they call that retroactively?
Is that what that's called?
He's been missing games.
So then they retroactively on the IR.
Now he got hurt before Philly, right?
Because Philly was the next.
So that was B in Nashville.
So that's over 10 days ago.
They can yank him back tonight if they want.
He could play tonight.
But you're holding out on old retro on really the exciting news.
Yeah, I felt like this was a buildup to something.
Yes.
We've been called up.
Who's getting called up, Brett?
Adam Klopka.
Clap bomb.
clap bomb it's a clap bomb this monstrous human this six foot seven 230 pound check forward
okay he's up good for him soft hands huge body uh it's a very very unusual skill set men this huge
don't usually um have the traits of soft hands so who well are the are the hands soft do we have
Yes, they are. They are. He is not a goon. He is not a thug. He will fight. He's not quite good at it. He's got very good hands.
He got his ass kicked in the fall. Right. And so he is not, um, this isn't calling up Steve McIntyre for the Oilers. This is not right to Ceyvonans. This is a guy that's got some nice offensive touch. Pardon me? So then you're okay with him being big because he's not a hoolook. He's not a, it's not a stout. I'm just saying, don't look at the hockey card and think you're getting that kind of player. That's not what it is. This is a guy that's got some nice offensive touch. He scored some big goals.
in the playoffs last year when they went all the way to the Western final.
He's like a Yager then.
Mario.
I wouldn't quite go there.
No.
He's not 18.
It's very,
draft him in the top five.
Very anticlimatic.
Okay.
Well, who were you excited for in H?
Well,
I thought maybe Coronado would even be a name that I would be excited.
They're not moving anyone in the top nine.
Huberto's back.
It'll be probably playing tonight.
Rats's done with it.
No exciting.
No.
Clapka.
Well, I didn't, I didn't think it was going to go that way.
I thought it was kind of relevant news for the team that we've been talking about getting the kids up and who to will host.
And I, I see Adam Klapka get up at some point this year.
And now he's here.
So I'll kind of bridge the gap between, you know, super fans and where Red is, who is completely unimpressed.
Well, again, it was like last year, how excited did we get about Walker Duer, a fourth line winger?
really excited.
And that might have been an indictment on everyone around him,
but this is a guy that could do something similar,
like he could be a really impactful fourth liner.
And right now their fourth line's doing fuck all.
I stand by our enthusiasm for Walker Dewar last year.
Because it wasn't just that he was a new guy.
He was scoring goals.
He was visible.
He was making an impact in the game.
Yeah.
Which he, not a whisper, not a sniff.
Brett thinks it's because he got married.
except that the biggest breakout player
on the team this year is also married,
so I don't know if that holds water.
It's a bit like your dog.
They're getting his nuts.
Oh, I feel sorry for Mrs. Dewar.
She's taking this one.
They're in her purse, are they?
It's not ideal.
You keep those with you.
Yeah, yeah.
Do we, is there any update on Jacob Markstrom?
Vladar is starting tonight.
There's your update.
Yep.
That's all right.
Sorry, Dan.
Excited for Dan.
Once he shuts down this potent leafs offense,
Trillivian is going to give us eight first rounders from, right, guys?
Hey, he gets his walk down the hallway.
He was right here.
You already got a flight going with us.
Now, in fairness to Daniel,
Daniel, he has, we've been saying he's been better as a plate,
and he certainly has.
He is three one and one in his last five starts.
The one loss was against Chicago, the one regulation loss.
Yeah, and that, yeah, how that game went.
The team was horseshit in front of them.
Yeah.
And then the shootout,
lost to the wild.
Maybe if Hubert O scores
or you don't put Hubert O in there or something,
maybe it turns into a victory.
Ah, we're just saying.
But his safe percentage,
over 900 in that stretch,
so he has been playing better.
This will be,
Rhett,
I'm going to ask you a media question.
Oh, fuck.
As the flames take on the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight,
even though the Leafs, not by points percentage,
but by standing have fallen into a wildcard spot,
they are considered to be one of the top teams in the
National Hockey League.
Would you say this is a litmus test for the Calgary Flames tonight?
Well, they're going to play indoors, Dean, so I don't know if, you know, we're playing
inside.
If we're playing outside, that would be a litmus test.
So no, there's, we're playing at once in end of the 20 seconds to walk from the bus to the
building.
Sorry.
When you said media question, that's.
Yeah, yeah.
Expecting.
Sure, it's a litmus test.
They got to win it.
I said yesterday, they got win.
and win one of the next two.
You've got to be at a high-end team
and whether or not the Leafs are struggling is irrelevant.
They are a top five team in the league, in my opinion.
Should be after the deadline.
They need to fix Blue Line and Net, but I think they will.
You got the last two years of Barners deal here.
Okay, so they're a top 17?
No, no, they're struggling right now.
They're not playing their best hockey.
I agree with you.
I think they will be an absolute contender.
They're going to address the issues they've had.
They've been shitty defensively all year.
They'll fix those.
They'll go get some DMET, just like they did last year.
But yeah, I don't, I wonder a little bit.
I do wonder a little bit as to just where they, where they are in the power rankings.
Look at their, look at their forwards and tell me they're no good.
I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying when you're talking about a team, hey, I think they're great,
except for their goal tending and defense.
It's a lot.
And it's healthy.
I don't have nearly as many concerns about the gold hunting.
That's why.
Yeah, but he's not.
It's all about slotting.
And he will be.
If you tell me Wolves out for the year, I'm really concerned, right?
He's not.
It's weak to week to week.
They need one defenseman to fix the deed.
Then they're slotted correctly.
You get them Hanifin and they're in great shape, guys.
I thought we were signing Hanifin here.
Well, he has to want to sign here, but yeah, there's certainly been a move that way.
Can you just answer that question, Hanifin?
Are you signing or not?
Are you staying or what are you doing?
What are you doing?
Because again, if you're leaving, down to the hallway.
Yeah.
What are you?
The heater for the flames, seven of nine, four in a row.
10, four and two in their last 16.
They've won five of the last six at home.
When you call up the game notes, they've got kind of the game by game little thing
there and you look at the, you go, they got the Ws for wins and the Ls for losses and that.
And you look at the start of the year and it was like,
W Lola la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la fontaine and you scan down the page it's like w w w w w w w w w w w w w w it's been a lot of those w w w w w w w w w it the last little bit to the point and we've talked about i think a lot of teams would have taken the last six weeks that the flames have put together six eighteen hockey since the outdoor game that's right take it decent decent
Sharon Govich.
I saw this as well that might surprise you.
We know how good Sharon Govich has been,
six goals in his last four games.
We know how good Blake Coleman's been.
He's up to 20 now in the year.
Since December 9th.
Now this is cherry picking a little bit, I suppose.
But since September 9th,
only Austin Matthews and Sam Reinhart have more goals
than Coleman and Sharon Govich.
Oh, mama.
Both of those gentlemen have 13 since.
It's the 9th of December.
Reinhardt has 15.
Matthews has 18.
So it's more than just
Flames fans feeling like, hey, these guys are playing
great.
This is, six weeks, yeah.
This is some interesting, and I think
Ryan Pike had thrown it out there in terms of shooting
percentage. Yeah, I've got it.
Coleman's career average and where he is
this year or currently.
Uh, spoiler alert.
things are going a lot better for him right now.
The puck's going in at an incredible rate, Harry.
It feels like you're running at an incredible rate, Harry.
But this is going to be a fun game.
Leafs fans are puckered.
Flames fans are feeling good.
Four losses, four wins.
It's always fun when the Leafs are in the house.
Anyway, they travel.
There be lots of white jerseys out there or blue or whatever the hell they're going to wear.
The Bieber inside out, blue and yellow.
Yeah, you don't know what's going to be.
Yeah, who knows.
It could be anything.
The ones that say milk on them?
They might even have one of those Dak Prescott jackets.
They got the helmet for sure.
Yeah, they got the helmet for it.
They got the helmet.
Further to the leaf struggles.
Yeah.
And maybe why it's more than just, you know, leaf fans are off their rocker.
They are.
Filer Bertuzi, who I thought was a great pickup.
Yes.
Right?
Good Bruin, good wing.
One goal in his last 23 games.
Oh, dear.
Max Domi, one goal in his last 12.
Oh dear.
Tavaris, one goal in his last nine.
So there's some middle top nine, top six scoring that's kind of left.
And just to go back to the point of lease fans and why they're upset.
So let's talk about Bradger Living's off season here.
The struggling Domi and Bertuzier is free agent signings.
Reeves came in.
He was awful and luckily hurt.
Clemberg came in, awful and luckily hurt.
And Samsonov, that Arb file landed on his desk when he got there.
So if Leif's fans are frustrated right now, I get it because those guys,
those were all the moves of the off season, right?
Let's go through them, though.
Sure.
At the time, I would have.
I'm not saying they're bad moves.
I'm just saying this is why people are frustrated right now,
because right now none of those guys are helping you, right?
Samsonov's had an awful year after being really good last year.
He didn't give them the long-term deal.
I guess that's the positive there.
It was an ARB thing, right?
You didn't know what he was.
Two years ago he sucked.
Last year he was great.
What is this guy?
The fucking goalies.
I have no idea.
Any thoughts on Samson?
And I didn't mind the domi sign,
citing because he was,
you know,
he is what he is.
But given the price that you paid for him,
one year deal.
One year deal.
And the Bertuzi one,
it felt like it was another one of those ones.
That's a nice, solid ad.
And it may still deal, right?
It,
but these are the ebs and flows of a season.
Totally.
Yeah, and Reeves and Clemburg are not good signings,
and they won't be helpful, and Clemberg's hurt and done,
and Reeves has got two more years left, which is going to hurt a bit.
But other than that, I mean,
I knew people were down on Klingberg.
I didn't know it was going to be quite that kind of a dump.
It was awful in Anaheim, and people just thought, oh, it's Anaheim.
It's like, well, there's also lots of players on bad teams that don't look that bad.
It's been awful.
And he turned down, what, like 40 million from Dallas?
That's the surprising part, because.
You wouldn't have never expected to go from where he was in Dallas,
which was, I thought it pretty good.
Now we don't watch.
Me too.
Yeah.
Solid defenseman at minimum to please be hurt so we don't have to play you.
Yeah.
And he took the one year bet on myself deal in Anaheim and it couldn't have gone worse and took less money on a prove it deal this year in Toronto.
And basically the only elite skill he has is gone.
And it's like that's not an NHL player anymore.
Klinghink.
sits at home every time he sees on TV or social media. So, hey, bet on yourself.
He's like, oh, I don't think. He's like, go, go after yourself. Now, to be fair, he wanted,
he wanted, he wanted Hayskin and money. Yeah, he was, I mean, that's a little greedy. You know, I want to,
everyone makes your own decisions and you're an adult. You have to make your own choices. Yeah. Who's his
agent? I don't even know if the agent saw this coming, though, right? Like, nobody saw it coming, but,
it's an over, yeah, they overplay their hand.
Yeah, for sure.
Exactly. Right? Like where
and maybe the agent was like, dude, sign this deal.
Don't be an idiot. Like you'd never know,
but you certainly hope that was the word because that's gone well the other way.
He made 10 million in the last two years. That's pretty good.
He should be making 40.
Not in two years, but for the, he's done.
10 million in the last two years, he was supposed to make seven a year for seven years.
Well, I think he wanted seven.
So I went nowhere.
He probably could have stayed around for like six times six or something.
Well, he could have got 30.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because isn't Hayskin an eight?
Isn't that kind of where?
Yeah, he wanted to be in that neighborhood.
He knew he wasn't Hayskin and good, but it's like, buddy, you're not even close to
Hayskin and we're not paying that.
I hate it.
I hate guys.
It's like having a winning lotto ticket and leave it in your coat jacket a day too long.
Like, fuck.
Yeah.
And there's lots of other guys that do well the other way, right?
Like you guys do the bet on myself.
But I don't hate that.
Yeah.
When it works, you like it.
Yeah.
When it works.
And you're right, Pender.
It's not as though he was being offered two and a half million.
No.
They were prepared to make him a long-term career guy.
Stars defenseman, career star kind of thing.
Yeah.
And he's dead.
It's that,
that,
and what's in Texas?
You got good tax situation in Texas?
Yeah, you do.
How's the team?
Good weather.
You like Dallas.
Christ.
Being there your whole career.
Like, John.
Jonathan?
John.
John.
Johan.
You've made a terrible mistake.
Craig Oster, the agent.
Craig, we're going to have to talk to you.
That's Chuckie.
That's Chuckie's uncle.
That's the guy that really could have made some money.
Imagine if Chuckie stayed here on a three times 10
and his free agency like next year.
And now he's living in Florida,
making nine million losers.
12 a year in Florida if you wanted to.
Idiot.
Like honestly, when you're, once you're in,
Once you're making $9 million a year,
what does your lifestyle have to be to know the difference?
Other than just looking at every two weeks
when that friggin deposit goes into your checking.
No, it's not about that.
What kind of a lifestyle do you need to be living where it's like, man,
if I was only making 12,
because I'm scraping by on 9.
No, he's going to go.
The goal's haven't been coming.
That's all.
He's gotten better.
The goals matter.
If you're going to make 12, like you're saying,
And then he would make 12 in the open market.
Like, you think of what Nealander got.
Who'd you rather pay?
He wouldn't.
But if he went to Toronto and was making 12 and he wasn't scoring like Bertuzi and Domi,
then they'd be like, what the, what are we doing with this guy?
Yeah.
Remember, he got 40 as a flame.
He has 12 now.
Yeah.
42 points in 44 games.
And he's been, not that we need to talk about Chucky, but he's good, not great.
Turn things around as of late.
And also just, I did do a little bit of, because Pinder and I did after Burner the other night,
and it came up, and we didn't have it right at the tip of our fingers.
Sharon Govich, 44 games played.
Yeah.
18 goals.
31 points.
Tyler To Foley, 42 games, 16 goals, 29 points.
It's W.
It's a few games played for a Tofoli, but more goals and more points for Yeager Sharon
Govich.
Who you-
He's got another year.
And you,
and you nailed it.
When you said,
you know what?
This is no longer
the Tofoli trade.
It's the Sharon-Govitch trade.
Yeah,
people like,
the third,
it's like the third is the throw-in.
Sharon-Govich is not the throw-in.
They got Sharon-Govich and a third for Tyler to Foley.
And a kid that they got third for,
Eidarsunia that's playing at UMass,
like very talented kid.
You don't usually find that kind of guy in the third round.
So we'll see what happens there.
He could be a part down there.
Where was he playing?
Where did he play his junior?
I ticked in last year.
A tickton B.
almost a goal of game in the BC league that's pretty good cheaters pretty good
ret pretty good they'll be cheaters until a ret's kid needs a place to play in his junior
years then rats all in what's happening uh what is happening there because i know we were talking
with darcy horticuch how great it's darcy horticuch by the way what great guy he's got the
beer in his uh in his bar that's right now because you two you both have sons the same age to play
hockey against each other occasionally, correct?
What are we talking? Oh, the Horticuchuk and my kid?
Yeah, I was trying to get you and Darcy's wife to meet up in Detroit so you guys could, you know, foster great family bonding between the Hortic Chips and the warders.
You're selling some weird stuff on the open air here.
You're trying to meet up with guys' wives and stuff.
I just, you don't know what you're talking about.
Jesus.
Just does.
So anyway, Sennie.
Taking up.
You, Hortichick.
Two kids, same age, correct?
You're playing, they both playing.
He was talking about the,
because this is the Bannam draft, right?
This is the year.
Yeah, and the WHL Bannam draft,
not Quebec or OH.
Okay.
Now, oh, and really quick,
we had this conversation off air the other day.
Because you played in the dub,
does it matter where you live?
Can your kids still go to the dub?
Or is it where he's playing his hockey that he was in that match?
No, I believe I can make him available as an alumnist.
Right.
alumni, okay.
Alumnus, alumnus.
We got you.
He played there.
I think you understand.
So is, I mean, that's kind of exciting because when is that?
It's now January that happens in the spring, right?
It's coming up.
Will you make him available?
Will teams, if, is this one of those things?
Do you have teams reaching out and saying,
uh, we, uh, we have identified your son as a potential elite prospect.
Hello, Rhett.
This is Jim McGillicuddy of the Regina Pats.
I just want to know if your son is available.
Bill Terwilliger here from the Hoosie Watsits in the Western League.
We're really impressed, especially the wingspan of this young man.
But before we spend a high valuable draft pick, we would just like some assurances that if we do take him, would you as an alumnist make him available to the Western Hockey League?
Are you, Bill? Which one was Bill?
Because I know you're now a bit of a Yankee doodle dandy down there.
I don't know if you're all of a sudden in love with the call.
I'll have to refer to my good friend Ryan Pinder.
He's got deep insight onto the...
Now, as a family advisor to the Warner's, at this point,
they haven't made up their mind and leaving all options open.
For what's best for Warner Jr's career.
This would be a question for the father.
Now, there's the two routes you can take.
You can take U.S. college.
you can go to the Western League.
Now, of course, do you go to U.S. college?
He could find yourself a fine school,
the education being really important,
whereas maybe the Western League is focused a little bit more
on hockey at this point in his life.
What do you see your son being?
An academic or maybe more of an athlete?
I feel like you're taking a veiled shot there.
What?
So, Rhett, just a quick question.
And how does the Warner family.
My stupid kid, my dumb kid.
How does the warmer family value education?
Because we watched a bit of your podcast.
And all you did was take runs at teachers and talk about it.
They shouldn't be in school.
It's not the teacher's fault.
It's the system.
Yeah.
It's the system.
But this is the spring, potentially?
Or are we just not even paying attention?
I don't give the flying F.
Okay, there we are.
It is and he is, but he can't say.
People call and talk and this and that.
It's great.
I'm not rude about it, but
go, I love it.
I think I put it on X one year,
the first draft,
Bantam, WHL draft,
or the one I got drafted in.
And who even played junior hockey
out of it?
Like,
six guys, right?
Like,
yeah, sure, it's a milestone
for lots of kids and it's a great thing.
But it's not to do all end all.
Are you getting any kind of advice from George Sweetman?
Sweetland.
George Sweetland.
He is a connoisseur of the booze.
He has mentioned the odd beer that might be good.
He's anxious to get his hands on some BB.
On the BBC.
Get his hands on the BBC.
He's heard it's delicious.
Yes.
Yeah.
It's a blonde, not a sight.
It's a B, B, B.
That's true.
I want to do a little bit of something here.
We got a, it's a bit of a two banger for you.
Are you ready for a bit of a two banger?
Now, I know that this is probably going to fall flat.
We've already talked about jerseys and said,
if you, people get wound up about jerseys and do you like it?
No, I came out and I was really outspoken about how I hate these All-Star jerseys.
Sorry about going off, you didn't hate them.
Sorry about going off like I did, but I've got a little bit of an eye-digit for you.
A little I dig it for finning,
Cat, Finning Canada, your local dealer for cat equipment, built to handle work in Western Canada.
You know how frigid and cold it is right now?
That's why you need Caterpillar.
That's why you need Cat.
Because it's going to take care of you through the harshest of conditions.
Heavy equipment for the job site.
Visit the cat rental store, chat with the knowledgeable staff and get what you need.
Buy parts, rent tools, power solutions.
Visit finning.com for a location near you.
Cat, a proud partner of the NHL.
Now, I'll let you watch and take a looksee here first,
and then I'll explain what it is we're looking at,
but there was a bit of a jersey unveil made by the Tampa Bay Lightning.
That is an evil looking, looking logo there.
Of course, Elton lost his jaw.
He only had the upper row of the top.
Yeah, I didn't have the mandible.
Was the mandible gone? Is that what it is?
Mandolin?
Something like that.
Now these are the Gasparilla jerseys for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
That's from last year.
They had the obviously that's the black ones.
This year they added to it a little bit.
You can see on the other, they've got special numbers that go along with the shoulder patch a lot.
The shoulder patch with the steering wheel or whatever.
The captain's wheel there from the wheel house.
Are you familiar with the Gasparilla Festival retro?
Sue City, Sasparilla.
Delicious.
I love Sasperilla, but I don't know what Gasparilla is.
Well, Jose Gaspar, because you know what's the football team in Tampa?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, right?
It is the pirates took over Tampa is kind of the legend.
Jose Gaspar, Spanish pirate, led his evil men into Tampa Bay and took over.
So every year, January 27th, the city of Tampa,
has the Gasparilla Festival.
They reenact the invasion.
They've got a boat parade.
It says here,
boat parade, regular parade,
and general merriment.
I do enjoy a good dose of merriment.
I'm down for merriment,
and that's my birthday.
I'm going.
There you go.
Oh, wow.
And it's Florida.
You love Florida.
I was looking at houses in Florida yesterday.
Of course you were.
So,
so yeah.
So I guess I dig it.
What are your thoughts on the,
on the uni?
My first reaction.
was that they were ripping off the box,
but now that I hear this is part of Tampa Laura,
I absolutely love them.
Yeah, I think that's awesome.
It was just a cheap attempt to get NFL fans to buy jerseys.
I'm like, yeah, whatever.
They look cool, but that's, that's dumb.
But that's part of their culture, Dean.
That's amazing.
I'm with you, Ryan.
I thought it was a Bucks thing.
We were trying to support the Buccaneers.
I like the story.
I would have gone a little more exotic
with my coloring and my design.
It's, I like it.
I love it.
what they did because last year it was almost kind of like a black practice jersey this year they took essentially their they're blue and whites and used to say because it's got the two arm bands and they just changed the colors so it's the same jersey just different colors so maybe they will add to it as as they go along now I'll end the segment well I got more I got more idea I dig it but here's the thing that I don't dig even though this is I dig it um these will
not be worn on the ice.
They are making 1,9004 of them.
As in the first year that Gasparilla was celebrated,
1904.
Can I stop you for one sec?
I'll just lay, I'm going to lay out everything for you because there's more
nonsense.
Due to the, as we know, we heard because of,
you know, we don't like being told what to wear or whatever it is,
changes due to changes in the on-ice warm-up jersey policy
from the National Hockey League,
these are available through retail only.
They will not be worn on the ice, as I mentioned,
and only season ticket holders can customize a jersey
with numbers and name bars.
So if you're just a general schmo,
you can buy one if you get in early enough,
but don't you dare think you're putting numbers or letters on it?
The league has screwed this up so badly.
incredible. It's really remarkable. Retro.
Is that a league? Is that a league?
Yes, that's a league mandate that they cannot wear different practice jerseys.
So we didn't have the armed forces jerseys for the game on Tuesday.
Land.
On the forces night. It's ridiculous.
And you know what? I think that's the only one that they're allowed.
Because I was doing the doing it.
I think and they can money goes to the military or something like that.
But anything else, pride.
There's no Chinese New Year. You know, when they wear the.
Patrick's Day.
like can't wear it.
Okay, but I'm going to stop the,
we've gotten ahead of ourselves.
Yeah, we've got to go back to the root
where this all started, the root of the issue that I'm seeing.
So you're going to celebrate,
this is almost a political statement by me.
So you're going to celebrate the raping and pillaging of your town?
Maybe he's a friendly pirate, who knows?
You're right.
Gasp for the friendly ghost, Gaspar, the friendly pirate.
Jose Gaspar, he was,
the one guy who wasn't doing any raping or pillaging.
He was trying to stop it.
Guys, come on, guys.
No.
Don't pillage anymore.
You pillaged enough.
That's too much pillaging.
And certainly, I'll say that's way too much raping.
Oh, dear.
I am not down with the raping, guys.
I don't know.
It's, they celebrate it with general merriment.
So I, I defer to people in Tampa.
It does seem like something.
So did your town get taken over by pirates?
Like, has that something?
It's a legend, Dean.
It'll lean into the legend.
I just like the, uh,
I like the jersey.
The mascot was celebrating the burning of the town.
Scorch.
Scorch.
In Glens Falls, New York at Moundack.
Hey, killed a bunch of firemen.
That's a great idea.
Great work, guys.
I need that costume, by the way.
If anyone has that, I need that.
I need the scorch.
So that is that.
I dig the jerseys.
I like them.
Do more with them.
Yeah.
Brown.
If only the league would let you.
Yeah.
Yeah, they won't let you.
Won't let you.
So whatever you're celebrating,
just don't sell.
People got upset at the hundreds of jerseys that were worn last year.
So now we can't do anything with jerseys.
Well, it was whole, it was pro vera, right?
Wasn't that kind of the final straw?
Of the whole league out of like nearly a thousand guys.
So anyway, I don't want to, it's not for us to get political.
It's a hockey show.
No, I just saying the league's screwing it up.
There's nothing political about it.
And the league has screwed it up.
So I dig that.
And I also, one other thing coming up here that I'm very excited to play.
Because if you're familiar with the old show that we did on the radio,
you will have heard this audio.
And I like now that we can bring some of it back in video.
So now you can see the video to go with it.
The San Jose Sharks are going to retire the number of Joe Thornton coming up in 24, 25.
Not surprising.
but Joe is a beloved guy.
Jewellved guy.
And you start to look at his career and it is,
you still wonder.
Boston,
you sure this is what you want to do?
You sure?
They get back in that deal.
It is one of the worst of all times.
It was Brad, Brad Stewart and Marco Sturm.
German.
Some other odds and ends, but not a great deal.
And then having not learned their lesson,
They made almost the same deal with Tyler Sagan to Dallas for a bunch of spare parts.
Like what in the Lord's name?
Was Wayne Primo in that deal as well?
Yes, he was.
The first he was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So anyway, um, we like Joe.
Joe likes to have fun.
He's an easy going guy.
We took our shots all Adam.
He and Marlowe and their ability to win in San Jose, but maybe that's not fair.
But a very likable guy, one of hockey's favorite people.
And this, you will, if you remember the old show, this will sound familiar, but it may look new and exciting.
Kids, I'm Joe Thornton and meet my pal Slappy.
Say hi to the kids, Slappy.
Howdy, kids?
Slappy, what's your favorite food?
I love being burritos.
Joe Thornton is a lousy ventriloquist, but he's a great hockey player.
There you go.
I just,
I figured that's an opportunity to play the Joe Thornton
Ventriloquist ad.
That's great.
I also like being burritos.
Who doesn't?
He knows what's up.
Slapies dialed in.
That's right.
So congrats to Joe for getting his,
getting his jersey.
They got to wait, I guess, a year out,
24, 25 season.
Can't do those things, you know,
really nilly.
You got to get it.
You announce it a year out.
You build a bunch of hype.
Take your time.
Meka night for what?
Six months now, something like that?
Yeah.
If he comes.
Well, we know the night's going on.
We don't know if he's going to come.
That's absolutely a fair point.
Yeah, I think they got a banner made.
He's supposed to be the night.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think they, uh,
I think John Bean got a, got a banner made.
And they're going to let,
they're going to raise it to the roof and there will be people there.
It's just, uh, it would almost be great in a way.
If they, if, if you could scam everyone to think that he wasn't there.
Yes.
No, honestly, it would be amazing.
If you start the ceremony, like, well, we're sorry, folks.
Mika couldn't make it.
We still want to celebrate the great hockey player that is.
And there's like a, oh, hrumph, harumph in the crowd.
And then he just starts showing up every commercial break on the jumbo,
trying to a different place in the dome.
It'd be unbelievable.
It's the greatest thing ever.
Slamming beers somewhere.
Kipper stuff online just the other day.
And there's an old article, obviously.
It's Mika Kiprasoff announces his retirement.
And so I read the thing.
It's, I, Mika Kipasoff, Joe, Jay Feaster.
asked if he'd move his no trade clause Toronto actively pursuing,
but no, this is, he was going to remain a flame.
And Feister said this is, he had no interest for playing for anybody else with Calgary and
wanted to end his career as a flame.
And then it was.
Kiprasoff, uh, I'm very excited.
It's been meant a lot to me to be a flame, blah, blah, blah.
There's no way he said this.
Uh, blah, blah, blah.
End quote, said Kiprasoff in a statement.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Peter Hamlin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In a prepared statement.
It's so on brand.
I mean, he'll be there.
But to your point, it would be
amazing.
It'd be so good.
You know what?
Even if they kind of aren't,
we could can't be here tonight.
Oh, he's not here.
And then you could bring him out.
Everybody would have a good guffaw.
Oh, a guffah, gaffa.
Yeah.
Who's speaking for him?
Because he ain't going to talk.
I think there's an obligation to,
have two butchered sentences and no more than that.
Doesn't noodles have to speak?
Noodles will speak.
He should.
Yeah, he should.
But like,
Iggy gave a great speech.
You watch all these other guys do it and they give night, like,
I just don't see Mika being comfortable.
Everyone says that he's gotten older and changed a little bit and it's a little more appreciative
maybe of what he had or what he meant or what it was,
but he's still Mika.
I remember seeing him on, he somehow showed up on the Jumbotron, like randomly, like two years ago.
People just went nuts.
Right before COVID.
Yeah.
And I think he was like shocked at the response.
Like that there was no.
But he's sitting.
It was like everyone immediately started like Putin and hollering.
Oh, yeah.
Stupid F.
and COVID kept him from moving back.
He was thinking about.
Oh, come on.
Oh, see.
What's over now, Mika?
Come on.
That ruined a lot of lives.
Right?
Like Kipersoff almost came to Calgary.
That didn't happen.
COVID, then you moved away.
You left.
Scared right away.
Yeah.
We're all, we're the worst off for it, certainly in, in the city.
But yeah, I've, that'll be, that'll be an interesting night because he will have to say something.
What was always with, with him, you would talk to him in the room after, after whatever, and you'd be just talking to him.
And he's not, it's not like he's, hey, let's, let's have a.
chat, but you would just talk to him.
And then as soon as the cameras or the mics went on,
everything just dried right up.
No English.
Post game, he'd take that ball of chew and fire it in here in the top lip.
So you don't know what you're getting to start with.
And then you got the big lump of chaw up there.
Okay.
That's the macula, like the powder from like Uzbekistan, like the clay.
Yes.
he and how many times would you get him?
Bare minimum.
Yeah.
Once a month, maybe.
Yeah.
Max.
It would be if you had a 90 save shutout.
Any chance we could talk to Mika tonight?
He's exercising his option.
Ah, shit.
It'll be fun though.
Do you, now, you're coming back.
Have you heard how many fellas are going to be back for it?
You have a what's a WhatsApp?
group going? There is no WhatsApp. Maybe we should put something together. Somebody
should. Peter Hanlon will be, I'm sure. You know what? You know who should be spearheading that?
It's Red Warner. Maybe you need to rent a bus from Buffalo. No, you're coming back for it, right? Are you not?
Yeah, I'll be back. Yeah. I'm just say you start the WhatsApp group. Here's what's going to happen.
That's an idea guy. He's not an organizer. Sorry, Dean, I got bad news for you. I know that's news.
I'm going to put my Daisy Dukes on.
We're going to head west.
Going to get banged up.
That's what a good friend would do.
What are you doing?
A better question, because you know I'll be there.
I'll be bugging noodles and rats, see where the party is.
But where are you?
Probably doing Afterburner.
No.
It's Saturday night 8 p.m. against Pittsburgh.
I've already booked it.
I don't know what I'll be doing.
Hopefully dead.
Sure enough.
That's
I dig it for Finning.
And I dig it there.
Wow.
Yeah.

Finning.com.
You'll find a location near you
and Cat,
a proud partner of the NHL.
Mm-hmm.
Now, you were very excited.
As we were getting prepared, we were doing our prep for this program today.
You're like, ho-ho, oh, boom.
This day in history.
Oh, man.
There are some days in history where it's like, yeah, they qualified Oleg Suprikan.
And you're like, there's nothing here.
Other days, it is like to be back there on this day, to live that live that live again,
not knowing how things go.
Oh, we can dream.
Now, was it in fact?
It was 10 years ago.
It feels like way, way beyond that.
But and I, it seemed like it was later in the season than January.
It's definitely 10 years ago.
It's hard to argue with facts.
Well, yeah, I just, and I'm not looking to be right or wrong.
I just, when this and Jack, you can roll the tape, because we'll all remember.
It was the Vancouver Canucks hosting the Calgary Flames.
And Bob Hartley submits his starting lineup before the home team does.
And he put out some tough customers, Kevin Westgard and McGratton.
Blair Jones.
Noted tough guys, yeah.
Well, just bigger humans, right?
It was pretty clear what they wanted to do.
And sure enough, drop of the puck to get into the line ball.
Tim Sastito right there.
Tim are tall.
There's two.
Tom.
And Gratz hated this guy.
Really?
Yeah, he loved to fight Tom Sostito.
Bigger.
And of course,
Torts didn't like what,
he just,
he didn't think this was very sportsman-like behavior.
He was hated.
There was a real,
he was that.
Cooper, wasn't it?
That got kicked out of the game.
Yes.
Parents were in the crowd.
And,
and,
and, uh,
That was the first game experience for that kid.
So Bob is, Bob doesn't seem too heated about it.
He's like, God, no, it's not good.
What's the issue?
Bob did what Bob wanted to do.
This is going exactly how Bob wanted it to go.
Bob is thrilled here.
And he's smugged and acting like this is no big deal.
I don't know what, what is the problem.
Whereas John, slightly more animated.
Look at how heated he is.
Yeah.
He's being restrained.
And then first period comes to a close.
And John says, you know what I think I'm going to do?
I'm just going to head down the hall and talk to Bob and just see.
What as far as, you know, strategy annexes and O's.
Oh, I look at, look out there's Clint Malarcha.
Get him away.
He snapped there too.
Get him out of here.
There's Tana.
You forget he was part of this.
And there's Gully.
And it's now Tart's going.
got right there, which is amazing.
He got right up to basically the door.
And there's Ovi.
He was on both sides as well.
But now, so I'll ask you, Red, 10 years ago, does it feel, I'm 10 years
a long time, make no mistake about it, but it just feels like that's a lot longer than 10
years, I guess not.
I don't know.
It was clearly after I was gone and it was still an era of where there was the odd
tough guy.
Like you think about that.
How many squads are housing McGratton and Westgarth?
Not many.
No.
Billy's got a couple guys that can throw.
Tampa's got a couple.
There's Florida's got a few pests, but nothing in this way, class.
No.
It's close, but not really.
And so we went looking for the Tortorilla post game.
And actually, his post game in that, because I think he knew, I'm in trouble.
I'm probably in real trouble here.
The team is not winning.
I'm the new coach.
And I was one year he was there.
He was only there a year.
It was a five year deal he signed.
And then the outdoor game,
he starts not Luongo,
but the backup.
And it was just like,
see ya.
I can make me two a year and you got half the money
remaining on the deal.
And he's not,
he was done.
Six million for one year work.
At that point,
word was he's not going to get another job.
He rubbed everyone the wrong way.
He's gonzo.
Yeah.
And two,
what,
two stops,
right?
Columbus and Philadelphia.
since.
Yeah.
Now was Eddie Lack the starter in that outdoor game?
I believe he was.
Eddie Lach's dad was very happy about it.
I think,
and that was that chased Lou out of town and it was just over.
Once the team was like,
we can't do this.
Like he can't hang in a Canadian market.
It's already too hot in like New York.
Like there's no way he can do Vancouver.
Those are the,
see, those are the Vancouver Canucks.
What's is there a story behind that actually with his son?
Who I believe is an Army Ranger?
He does have a.
The son in the military, I believe.
He was deployed that day and there was lots of things going on behind us or in personal life.
And you know what else?
Loves dogs.
Loves, big time dog lover.
Loves dogs.
When he talked about when he moved to Philadelphia, he had to find a property where he was going to be able to house all of his, his animals and his dogs.
So I think it was Kellyn Lane was the prospect.
Lainer.
He was in the starter.
He's in the starter and he gets immediately like 15 minutes in penalties, right out of the gate.
first game in the NHL family
and attendance.
It's a great story now, maybe,
for the mom and the dad when they get around.
Nothing like your first game in the NHL,
but probably at that time, mom was,
well, didn't BX's step into the face off?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He went right out.
And, you know, good on him.
Everybody loves BXA now, too.
I can't get around that.
I enjoy watching them on TV, but this guy was.
Actually, not to change the subject,
But when you showed Joe Thornton and his sloppy ventriloquism,
there's a guy that should be doing games.
100%.
Funny.
Just really,
like,
yeah,
anyone that's met Joe just raves about him,
loves him.
It's wild.
Now,
all and did play nine games in the league,
though,
Dean.
So,
boy,
it's,
hey,
nine more than me.
Glens into the others,
that one,
I'm sure.
Only nine.
Yeah,
but you gave up.
You quit.
So,
I did quit.
You're a quitter.
frigging quitter.
Torts doesn't like Bob.
that was that we established yeah now i watched the post game that night and he actually because he knew
he was in do do he's like i'm not going to talk about it i just you saw what he did i just i can't talk
about it but it was later in the same year and again things are not going well the loongo thing you
referenced the loss is far outweighing the wins the line brawl all of this this was from later
in the year and you may now he talks about daniel or henri
One of the Siddines got crumpled into the boards and had to be stretchered off.
So Torts is mad again, but it's just another look inside the relationship between Torts and Hartley.
And I'm the head coach of this team.
I don't have you tuck your tail between your legs and you leave.
It's been a rough year.
But it's embarrassing to coach against the guy across me tonight.
Some of the things that went on when Danny's hurt, it's embarrassing.
He pisses me off.
It's just, it just, I just don't like the disrespect of how we, with players.
It aggravates me.
Does your robbery go back to Tampa, Atlanta, to go back further into the minors?
You know what, I'm not going to go any further.
I don't like the way he does business.
I don't like him.
And eventually, I guess why I'm talking about it in this way is because I need to protect my players.
And a lot of people don't understand that.
So I'll just leave it at that.
I don't know why I opened it up, Ben.
Like you said, if you open it up,
that's a daggers out of me.
You saw his starting lineup.
I mean, you've been down that road a couple of times.
It's Bush League.
I got to get out of here.
I'm not going to talk about it.
I don't want to talk about it.
I don't like them.
I don't like the way does business.
It's Bush League.
And Ben is the communications guy who told him.
Don't start talking about it torts.
Because once the train's moving, it's hard to stop.
I got to get out of here.
I got to get out of here.
I got to get out of here.
That's,
so again,
the line.
This day in Flames history,
10 years ago,
a presentation of McLeod Law,
our buddy Peter Klein,
personal injury guy,
also the disability insurance guy.
You get him on your team and let him go to work.
He'll get you those disability benefits that you paid for and you deserve,
or whatever it is,
whatever legal matter has come up in your life and you need help,
it's McLeod Law.
There's only one place to go and you've got the very,
very, very best.
McLeod-dashlaw.com.
How many five-on-five line barrels anymore, boys?
Sadly.
There is in, with the junior sabers side, apologies.
Yeah, we're trying to bring it back.
Present attendance excluded, obviously.
Right?
Old school.
That's what everybody would say, you know,
Warner, he's kind of a throwback.
He's an old school guy.
It's got some Daryl vibes.
On and off the ice.
Visionary.
Luminary.
I do a Pinder Report?
Hell yeah.
Yeah, you do.
Got some dumb shit today.
You're going to love it.
Good.
Perfect.
Maybe the dumbest of the year.
And we've seen some dumb shit.
There's some dumb shit.
Early in the year.
It's early in the year, Ryan.
Yeah, I mean the season.
We're late in the season.
We're past the midpoint and we might have the biggest idiot in the history of Pinda reports.
Let's go.
The Hinder Honda presents the Pinder Report located in the Northwest Auto Mall.
they of course, where else are you going to go?
What is it you need?
You want new, you want pre-owned, you need service,
you want to get your car detailed,
you want the best in the business.
It's why they're your dealership for life.
Online at village honda.com,
it's village Honda.
And they present the Pinder Report.
Fellas, we start with news of the day.
Adam Klopka has been summoned from the Calgary Wranglers.
Clap on, clap off with clapka.
Love it.
Look at that, retro.
10 goals, 21 points and 33 games.
large, large human.
The press release said 6-7 today,
so I'm sticking with that today,
if that's all right with everyone.
Some comments was saying he's 6-8.
I can only go off what they tell us, Dean.
I can't make him tell him than he is.
That's tall enough, I'd think, Red.
6-7?
Hard to find skates, yeah.
Basketball shoes, I think he's okay.
Skates be a tough for.
Here's what we are looking at for the Calgary Flames and the standings.
There's the wild card right there.
It is odd to see them that close.
And I understand there's a big clump.
There's Nashville in that group.
There's Seattle in that group.
Is Arizona in that group?
St. Louis ain't far off.
They'll play them next week.
They're in the mixed fellas.
One of those wild cards is absolutely up for grabs.
No doubt about it.
Schedule, here it is.
Toronto tonight.
Edmonton Saturday.
St. Louis.
St. Louis.
On Tuesday.
And they'll close the homestand with Columbus in Chicago.
next week.
More winnable than this week.
You got two high-powered offenses in a row
starting tonight with Toronto and Edmonton.
But doesn't those last games worry me.
You're going to be up for Toronto.
You're going to be up for Edmonton.
Yes.
Building is going to be electric.
And then you're going to have a week.
Yeah, then you're going to go up against a bunch of teams
where it's like we should win these and we're going into the break.
This is going to be great.
And all of a sudden you fall flat on your face.
Honey, what island?
Is it a ruba?
Oh, maybe.
Jamaica,
uh,
this is. Bermuda.
Burmuda. It's Bermuda we're going to.
Yeah, what time's the flight?
Chicago.
Into the break.
Awful.
This is a new team.
Was it?
This is, they just lost to Chicago 10 days ago.
They've changed,
Redd.
We're praising them for changing.
You know what's going to, you know what's,
Husk ain't going to let that happen.
Husk.
Husk.
The way Husk is going to let that happen.
Husk's been with the flame.
You know what? Husk ain't going to hear it.
Hustin, I hear it.
All four losses in a row they have against the Hawks last year and this year combined.
We'll see.
They've got to get through a tough couple here this week.
And yeah, we'll have a little more clarity, obviously, the closer we get to the end of the season.
Let's keep moving.
Goleys, it will be Dan Vladar tonight.
There are the numbers for the three fellows that tend to twine.
Don't be a sieve.
Don't be a sieve.
Is that what you just said?
Don't sieve out.
Yeah, that's what it was.
Yeah, well, the 885 is higher than what it was.
We got some great shooters on the other squad.
They're wonderful offensive talents.
We're going to need some goaltending.
Don't sieve out.
Daniel.
Daniel.
And if he does, there's old dusty nickel.
Just kidding.
Dustin Wolf will be there.
We'll see how things go tonight.
Could get a wolf against Sue Euler's on Saturday.
Maybe Markstrom's back.
We don't know.
It's really, could be any of three goalies on Saturday at this point, couldn't it?
Do you throw a kid in against?
I can talk about this.
kid doesn't i was just thinking that we can talk about it tomorrow but what you know what let's go
i mean play against the very best we're in l a rickie year gretzky was still there and lindy ruff's like
no you're not playing it's wayne gretsky and i was just a stupid defenseman where they could
try to protect me with a lot matchups right like it's great to say let's yeah
Yeah, let's do it.
He's two of the best of the best.
He was looking so good until that meaningless game in January of 2024.
Yeah.
Well, anyone that goes in net, you've got a storyline.
Like, Vladar, you can't trade him.
He's no good.
Marksum, all the Oilers have his number or Wolf.
It's like he's a rookie.
Like, I'm sorry, whoever's playing against the Oilers on Saturday.
It's tough job.
It would be a bigger story if Wolf went in, I think, in fairness.
And the Markstrom thing is a bigger story.
because of his playoff series.
So it's like whoever's going in,
yeah, you're facing the heat tonight.
Oh, move.
John Shannon had this to say on the Calgary Flames.
On our sister show, Sycarus and Price.
Uh-huh.
In Vancouver.
Of course, the Canucks first in the division,
having a sensational season,
looking around for a number two center.
They got Miller and Pedersen on the same line right now.
Would Elias Lindholm be a fit?
Quote, I don't think Calgary thinks they're out of it.
I don't see Calgary getting rid of players yet.
It isn't Craig Conner making that decision.
It's ownership, end quote.
Wow.
I'm glad I'm sitting down for that.
So you mean it's ownership about the Elias Lindholm deal like it's 100% getting done.
That's not the quote you want to see if you believe 100% of Elias Sunnheim's getting traded, is it?
They sold us that we didn't trade Giordano.
We were getting $6 million in savings.
So that's a good enough.
They never sold a shit.
just a bad decision.
Well, they're, the, the owners, I guess, are, can make bad decisions if they want.
The only question that I would have is the, the ownership sounding board, is it a little bit different?
Is it at all different when it's Jerome McGinla and Craig Conroy serving up the, the scenario?
And to be fair, we never had clarity on how it worked with tree.
Like, we only hear whispers and suggestions and.
We never have really been told about how things go.
When I want to do a trade, what's the process?
Who does it run by?
When do you get an answer?
Who has to say yes?
We're only guessing at these things.
Yeah, and is the owner looking at an actual trade scenario and analyzing what the trade value is in return?
We don't know.
Well, when we hear from ownership after the trade deadline, we'll have a good idea.
We haven't heard from ownership since after the 1999 trade deadline.
No. Since they started to save the flames campaign.
Yeah, when they wanted money,
the owner didn't show up to cat ribbon when he was getting a half million bucks for a half billion dollars for free.
Like, they're not talking about shit publicly.
And that's their right.
You own a team?
Do what you want.
You mentioned the ominous Ryan Pike tweet.
Blake Coleman's going to cool down.
And that's okay because he's red hot.
But if I told you Blake Coleman had 10 goals, you'd be like, that sounds like Blake Coleman.
if he was shooting his career norm,
a long, long career,
he would be exactly a 10.
We know this.
We know he's hot.
We know it's unsustainable.
We know he's not going to score 40,
but he has looked sensational this year.
Dean, do you like red hot?
You can't touch a flame when it's red hot
and the red hot candies,
or Frank's red hot.
No, I'm talking about the Tom Cochran.
Red hot.
Red hot.
Now is that,
uh,
Yeah.
Was that Red Rider?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tom Cochran and Red Rider.
Red Hot.
Yeah, I like Red Hot.
Me too.
It wouldn't be at the top of my list,
but if it's on,
I'm not turning it off.
If you're on a road trip.
Yeah.
If you had your rank,
the Red Hot Candy,
the Red Hot Song or the Red Hot,
you know,
hot sauce.
What's our order here?
Hot sauce.
Yeah.
Song candy.
Wait a minute.
a red hot hot sauce?
Well, like Frank's Red Hot.
Oh, well, it's Franks.
Yeah.
But that's what it's called Franks, Red Hot.
So sauce.
Look at the logo.
I know.
I mean, he's out.
Hot sauce, song candy.
So when you go to a diner and they bring you your breakfast and they say,
do you want any,
they say, do you want any Franks or do they say do you want any red hot?
if rat they said do you want hot sauce and i say yeah i'll have some of that red hot what would they bring you
they would go what the what are you talking okay we get bogged down in the dumbest shit i mean it's goodness gracious
sorry not about the candy or the song not about but about the tweet not about the shooting
percentage about fucking hot sauce but when i say frank's red hot it's like oh what is it whoa
what are you talking to show now where do we fall in
Ryan, give us...
I really like the candy.
The candy's not getting enough love.
That's a really sneaky good 5% candy.
My kids are addicted to the...
And for me, I don't consider Frank's red hot,
but I'll start with Franks,
and then I'll go red hot candy.
No, I'll actually go song, then candy,
because I don't eat candy.
I got candy two, song, three.
Sorry, Tom Cocker.
Sorry, buddy.
Leafs look like this.
Let's have a peek at the lines.
I know what's the Pinda Report, sorry.
Because it's a cinnamon-based.
candy, right? Yeah. It's right. Do you like, do you like cinnamon gum? No. I like the texture of the
candy. It's nice to chewy. I like the shape. And I do like the flavor. It's not as harsh as cinnamon
gum. What would be in that wheel, like your red candies, you'd have your Swedish berries. Yep.
Your big feet. Yeah. The red, the red, the dino sours. Red dynosowers are elite.
Oh, yeah. I mean, really good. Almost makes it unfair. Not my own color.
Is licorice and nibs part of the red?
But that's not really cinnamony.
It's not really, but either is, I don't think,
Swedish berries aren't.
No, no, no what I had.
What are the, uh, the red, uh,
it's the red licorice in the States,
but not Twizzlers.
Nibs?
No.
Because I had a bag at the old hockey game.
Does it have the veins in it like the reds?
Big red vein.
Red, oh, red vines.
Is that what it is?
Vines.
we'll Google it.
Candy bracket.
Yeah.
Comments.
Yeah.
I kind of liked them.
I think they were red,
red vines or something.
I don't know that I don't see them.
Yeah.
There's somebody texting in there.
Not whips.
I know what quips are.
They're like the single strand of the,
uh,
oh yeah,
peel them apart.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The red vines.
We've lost,
a different,
a different texture and a different flavor.
Did they come in a blue?
blue package.
Yes, correct, sir.
Red ropes or red vines, yeah.
Yeah, red vines.
If it's okay,
would like to move to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
We're playing at the saddle alone tonight.
I don't know if you mention it.
Flames Leaves tonight.
Congratulations, Pontus Holmberg.
You're a top liner.
I'm related to that.
Yeah, you are Pontus.
He split up Matthews and Nealander here.
They're trying to find a little more depth.
They got the two newcomers.
with Calais.
Shit.
Cali.
Dvarez's been quiet.
Let's go.
One more you left on that deal.
And Jason Gregor's nephew,
Noah Greger.
Yeah.
Former shark and hawk.
Where else does he play?
He's bouncing around.
Was he a hawk?
Well, maybe it wasn't a hawk.
I'm trying to be.
But it was a shark for sure.
He made his debut in San Jose.
Hey, Tej.
Teage, top pair, Tej.
Morgan Riley's having a really nice year.
The Benwawk kid was in Anaheim.
They didn't want to pay him.
It didn't cost much.
He's playing in Toronto.
Jake McCabe came in at the deadline last year.
Jordano they got in the deadline two years ago from Seattle and Timothy.
Little bit more Porteo or is it over?
He's definitely third pair Gio.
Yeah.
The healthier and deeper that blue line gets, the less he will play.
Is this the last year?
Because he signed two years, his last contract, wasn't it?
I believe this is the last of a two-year hometown discount type deal.
I will verify that in the moment.
It's a great, you know what?
Great career.
It's a great.
Incredible career. Once he gets that banner this year, he's going to go down on Leafs lore.
Hot lips. That's another one. Yeah. Oh, that's the one. There was another cinnamony one. You're right.
Oh, hot lips. Hot down. Hulahan. Yeah, I don't know. See, I don't like cinnamon gum. I find it to be too hot.
No, it's too strong. What are you doing? Burn my tongue, you jerk. I do like the red hots. And yeah, the red lips.
Red lips
Ships
Loose lips
Red lips
Timothy Lilligrin
was the third pair
defenseman that's playing with Gio
He was the one that got absolutely
Walsh
Don't you remember the rat
Did they have that sound
R-A-T-T
Yeah
Who has Kirsch's number
He'll know
I'm not sure if he would be that dialed in
on rat
But
For sure he is
It would be beef.
I'd have to check in with beef.
He would definitely be my, he's in my
phone of friend with wheelhouse.
Ask some rat questions.
We'd interrupt to the Pender part.
Let's go Pinder.
Yeah, seriously, Pender.
Did you just fucking move along, Pender?
Let's go.
Austin Matthews still good at scoring goals, fellas.
You want proof?
There it is.
Yeah.
Wow.
Boy, Sam Reinhardt.
You can write your own checks, son.
Good for you, Sam, Reinhart.
But you can write your own check.
How about
Ryan Hart?
I got a big Twitter battle with some losers.
I said,
Coggle could do something stupid,
like pay $12 million for Ryanhart,
and I wouldn't even hate it.
I would get it.
Give someone to play with Podard.
Of course.
Ryanhart or Nealander?
You're looking at brat songs.
I'll just keep moving.
No, I'm not.
I was just,
I was going back because remember
he was the second overall pick
and I just wanted to,
do you remember who at first that year?
Eckblad.
It was Eckblad.
And then Bennett three?
No,
Ben at four.
Drysidal three,
Ben at four.
And then five was the kid to Island who was awful.
Michael Del Cole.
Because I don't know.
And then Jake for ten.
Um,
what is what to,
to this point.
Yeah.
Has what's kind of been the,
the report card on Sam Ryanhart?
Good, not great.
It was okay in Buffalo.
It was all about,
you know, guy,
he's smart thinker.
He really is.
Not big,
but he's so smart.
Yeah.
And shitty,
shitty teams, man.
You look at the beginning of his career, there would not have been a worst franchise to play for over those years before him he left.
Like there's no team with the worst record in the NHL from the moment he laced up skates till when he went to Florida.
Buffalo far and away the worst.
Brian.
I need to hijack the show again.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, go.
What do you got?
Rat?
I really, no, I apologize.
I need to do this.
That one's for me.
And, uh,
that one's for Rett.
The song was White Hot.
Son up.
My Red Rider, not Red Hot.
That's true.
Dean, is it all right if I ask you to just leave the room for a month?
Could you go sit in the hall with your dog, please?
I'll open the window.
Rat, you open your window.
That's your point.
I can't, you know what?
It's White Hot.
It's White Hot.
White hot.
And I should have when I said Red Rider,
a red rider, red, it's red hot.
It did sound a little clunky, didn't it?
Sorry.
God damn.
Huge fail.
Yeah.
Do I have...
Four losses in a row for the Leafs.
We'll bring you back in a couple minutes,
Dean, just take a breather.
Let the dog piss.
Unacceptable.
Look, if he misses on someone's cap hit, I get it.
That's his wheelhouse.
He would introed that song on Brandon Radio a thousand times.
Yes.
Why are they cranky in Leafsland retro?
Loss, loss, loss, loss.
Blown lead, blown lead, blown lead, blown.
and blow and lead.
Ouch.
Got the lead.
Yeah.
Not many got the lead points
in the standings.
No column for that.
So they'll be cranky.
Leaves fans up in arms.
Here's the full slate of action tonight,
tons of games tonight,
as we do see on many a Thursday.
Big slate.
A couple really heavyweight battles.
Let's look at Colorado at Boston
near the top.
And at the bottom we get Rangers
Golden Knights.
Those, a couple tantalizing
matchups.
This Buffalo Chicago game is a real pain in my heinie.
Tell me about it.
What's that?
Well, we got an 8 o'clock practice.
Yeah.
Games at 7, all the parking is going to be taken.
Ah.
Why are you practicing there?
There's got to be another practice place.
No, it's attached to the big rig.
That's got to be a nightmare.
Practicing when there's a saber scheme on?
It's 100% a nightmare.
And then also, you're obviously allowed to travel today.
You weren't yesterday.
There's a travel ban yesterday.
Yeah, they don't, we're, uh, there's still snowing a little bit, but roads are pretty good.
They use a lot of salt here.
They're not afraid to.
Yeah, they're salty.
Yeah.
Get rusty bottomed cars, say.
Look that dog.
It's a nice dog.
Rusty Coleman.
That dog's a lot happier since he left his deadbeat owner, the original.
Boom saved him.
He's a rescue, isn't he?
He's a wild man.
It's a bigger dog than I thought.
Oh, he's closer to the camera.
He's such a boy.
Yeah.
it's good looking chap
absolutely
i want you guys to listen
sound up we're heading out to the east coast
somebody's trying to call a hockey game
now play by play is not easy but
there's some do's and don'ts
let's have a listen here
the rush
pulls it back there and now murphy
murphy throws the pass across
and that puck's going to go out of play here
and uh that's going to do it for that sequence right there
925 last year i apologize if i just uh
uh just uh
your eardrums there. It went right over the mesh,
right over my head, so
I just, I apologize for that.
I'm sorry. Everyone's,
a few people look at me, I'm fine, just,
I'm fine, just, oh my God,
as, I apologize for that one
right there and for saying, oh my God, I shouldn't
be saying that, I'm sorry, just,
okay, I'm just trying to catch my breath here.
Just, okay, just,
all right, as we're back to this thing, rush here with it.
That can't be real.
That is real, and I've met
enough play-by-play broadcasters,
that there are some
outside of the bell curve humans
that do this job.
It's all right.
Odd ducks.
Not like reporters.
No, much more odd.
Not like podcast guys.
No, no, those guys are normal as could be
super normal guys.
Kind of want that dog back.
Yeah, Rhett wants that dog back.
Can you make a trade?
Maybe like three first rounders for...
I give you my kids for the dog.
He's a rescue.
I saved his life.
That's right.
I'll give you my kids for the time.
Did I save your life?
Red, big news in the North yesterday.
Big news.
Spicy pee, gone.
No longer a Raptor.
I saw that.
Significant pieces of the championship team is gone.
Indiana Pacers.
That just doesn't look right.
Spicy pee and white, yellow and blue?
Come on.
Actually, that's not how it's going to look.
They mocked it up.
That's, there's your New Jersey.
That looks better.
Those shorts are a little high, Pascal.
Come on, are your grandpa now?
Now, is it DeAndre Aten?
Is that the name, Jack?
I want to say it right.
Is DeAndre?
Yeah, DeAndre Aton.
Now, he was not, there's no NBA team in Buffalo,
but apparently he's just very, very, very, very cautious about driving conditions.
Out tonight due to being stuck at home because of sheets of ice in his neighborhood.
I'm good, fellas.
Good luck.
Where's he play?
At home before the Trailblazers game.
We're short staff tonight.
Damn, that's crazy.
Good luck, though.
We could use some extra help.
Yeah, I bet.
Good luck.
I love that meme.
That's a gooder.
Thank you for that.
Jack.
You're going to love this.
Dino.
Bruins fans are crazy.
The term
masshole gets thrown around a little.
This chick is a full-on mass hole.
Let's go to the garden.
That is some.
serious mass hole right there.
Now, how can you be sure that she's from Boston?
That's fair. She could just be wearing the gear.
In my hair.
She could be doing some method acting, I suppose.
That's something.
What a gal.
Right out of the shoots, too.
First couple seconds, Jack, like that is,
she shot out of a cannon here, all business.
Hot.
Running hot.
Okay.
We'll keep moving.
These outdoor pools,
the more I see pools,
the more I just see blue,
and people almost dying.
I don't think you have a massive backyard,
but you could have an above ground.
Sure could.
This is an in-ground,
and even these ones can hurt.
Oh, my God.
So as soon as you see, it's not above ground,
like, oh, this is fine, this will be safe.
Wrong.
Right in the back.
How many people have almost been split in half
on the Pinder Report in the last 10?
I was going to say, it's been a rough goal.
Ooh, a lot, a lot of issues.
How much?
How many eye those surgeries are we doing here?
Yeah, that's no good.
You and the shoveler, big travelers.
You talked about the lockout.
You guys went down to Oz.
You found a cute place for a photo, but this surface, this video.
I think you were in video mode, not picture mode.
If something jumps out of the water.
Poor shoveler.
Oh, boy.
She gets drinking and she gets acting up.
That what she deserved.
Didn't drop a drink.
Hey, held on to the drink.
That's on brand.
Yeah.
Now, you remember Maurice Jones Drew, very small, very stout running back for the Jaguars, I believe.
Excellent player.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
NFL network.
He was asked about some of the matchups coming up this weekend for the divisional weekend.
Let's have a listen.
Is far and away the best defense of Patrick.
Is it possible that they can run the defense?
Listen, I believe.
FJ is not letting that fly.
No.
No.
that's pretty good now was he trying to catch him with ride the d see how he would
react to it or mjd responds lets me believe that the other guys thinks he can sneak one by
he's not happening yeah i do like that the look is the look is very good
the best defense of patrick proholtz has had right is it possible that they can ride
A couple left.
That same trip, Rhett was in Oz with the shoveler.
They were hanging out, watching people surf.
Some beautiful lookouts there, some wonderful, I'll even know what you'd call it, a lookout point.
Like, yeah.
There's young Rhett, frosted tips.
And look at this.
He throws the heart back to the shoveler.
Isn't that cute?
Now, heads up, son.
It was, uh,
nailed it.
Right on the surfboard.
Thousand tries, you never do that again, right?
I think that was South Africa.
That wasn't Australia.
My fault.
Yeah, it was the file wasn't labeled.
Yeah.
But luckily that board was waxed.
Otherwise, that was big trouble.
You just slid right over it.
Okay.
Um,
last one.
This feels like a Darwin award winner right here.
This might be the most idiotic setup.
of all time and one of the least surprising outcomes
and yet still
you will be shocked by the idiocy of it all.
We're gonna noose your legs
and gets you drag behind a truck through fire
and don't worry, we laid a mattress
about 100 meters up. We think you might land
on that. And just pinned it.
Even at the Warner Reunions, we don't see
shit this dumb. That is.
Is it charged for that stuff? Even if it's
even if you agree to it?
I think society would be
much better off if they just found something to charge all these people with.
You wonder.
Now, you're not,
you're not just going to, like,
hit it once you tie my legs up,
right?
You're going to like,
because I'm going to,
if you go too fast,
I'm going to,
I'm not even going to land on the mattress.
Well,
don't worry to no point.
Because there's a mattress right below him.
He's going to land on that, I'm sure.
Yeah, but if you go too fast,
you're going to pull me right off.
There'll be no need for the mattress.
No,
what do you think?
Just put you,
just shut up and,
You know what? You got your clicks. Good work, guys.
You got your clicks. No. Over back to the hospital to have your burger through a straw.
What's that cost in America?
Oh, God, I'm horrified to ask that question. You're our expert.
Yeah. It's not free. No. And it did sound as though the guy was in some discomfort.
Yeah, could we get the audio again? Are you sure he was?
No, I think if you listen closely
You might have missed it, but
He was there was, it did sound like there was some
Yeah, discomfort.
Maybe that he even hurt himself.
Okay.
Oh, one goes.
It's a great level of concern about his health too.
Yeah.
And now again, was this the third or fourth time through?
It's good that the driver of the, I'm guessing it's a truck,
that the driver of the truck honked the horn.
Let him know.
Let him know, I'm going to go now.
Yeah.
Oh, good.
Okay.
so here we go.
Oh, he wasn't ready.
Do it again.
I wasn't ready.
Can't top that.
Tell us that's your Pinda report.
I honk the horn.
I let you know I was going.
We need to get this man's name.
And in five years, follow up with him and find out where he's at now.
Well, we just got to get invited to the funeral.
It's going to happen to now and then.
There's no way this man's going to live with those kinds of decisions.
So the skin.
drafting. How did it turn up? Can we take a look?
What is it traction? You can say traction. What does that mean?
Yeah. How long does it take for that to heal? That's Village Honda. You're welcome.

Who mama?
Big show today, holy.
And we're not done.
No.
We got more to do here.
Well, hurry up.
Okay.
It's time for Askrette.
Oh, there we are.
Oh, don't worry about that then.
It's a little bit.
It's a presentation of Bon Ton meets Calgary
tradition since 1921.
You want the best?
That's where you go.
Why go anywhere else?
I guess if you just...
I can tell you right now, Dean.
I went somewhere else.
It's no good.
Sometimes maybe you have to, right?
You're in a pinch, whatever.
Well, I can't get...
You just sit there.
It's like, I understand why I did it.
I get it, but I really wish I hadn't.
This isn't taste the same as it should.
Sorry, some.
It's about putting quality meat in your mouth.
You know?
Since 1921, this has been the best meat that you'll put in your mouth.
Calgary Consumer Choice Award winner Top deli meat market in the city, 28 Crowfoot Circle,

T's and peas to Greg Keller, noted Dallas Cowboys fan.
I was just going to say, take Greg in a bills, a bills, coozy or whatever those things,
beer cozy, you think.
Get them some bills, parapher.
When he's stopping there, he'll appreciate it.
Big Bill's honk.
Got it.
Okay.
Hey, Red, this is from Eric.
Hey, Red, did you say you dip toast in hot chocolate yesterday?
Absolutely.
That's that about.
That's a treat as a child.
So, walk us through it.
Is it?
Toast.
White toast?
Whatever.
Toast.
All right.
These is whatever damn toast you want.
But what you got to do is you got to do it, like,
small town people do you put lots of butter on that shit butter that up makes some hot chocolate dip
it in it's delicious what's a big deal peanut butter butter sandwich that too is good i wouldn't dip it
in my hot chocolate but no all right um hey ret it says hey barn burger boys but we know us for wretts
from Jeremy. If you are ever stuck inside your house because of the cold or for a good old snow day,
what movie series are you watching? What flavor of popcorn are you having? So what do you do?
Because you brought it up the other day about you're looking for something to watch. I don't know if you
made a decision or what do you do if it's a snow day? You're not going out? You have a travel band still on
there? No, it's off now. We had, well, parts of town were yesterday, but I needed a good show last night. And I didn't even
get to watch one.
Popcorn, plain.
I've dabbled in the flavored popcorn business in the past.
I'm not going to say I dislike it.
Overkill.
I overkill it.
And then it's just plain popcorn, lots of butter and salt.
That's my snack.
Or nachos.
Gotcha.
And I'm a nacho dip more than a nacho tray kind of guy.
You know what I mean?
so like chips chips and dip as opposed to the yeah give me i'll make a cassoe or cheesy salsae kind of dip
i don't want to i don't want the oven i don't want i'm not i don't want to go that extra mile
gotcha i'm with you i i'm not going to say no but uh maybe it's because i've gotten lazy
in my old age but i do enjoy you know what we're just going to have some chips and salsa
little chips and salsa right here.
Oh, is there some, maybe some of that
a jar of the queso cheese?
Well, warm a little bit of that up.
Why not?
Not an animal.
I deserve nice things, don't I?
Oh, here's one from your good buddy, Joel Bond.
Bondo.
Any interest in coming to Switzerland with me to visit
Shane Funk on February 7th?
Oh, here.
When is it?
February 7th.
So,
I'm just thinking, is that a nice, what's the weather going to be like?
I feel like I want to go to Switzerland when it's nice.
Oh, he wants to go skiing.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, they have the Alps apparently.
I've heard about them.
You haven't climbed any.
Could you pick me up a army knife while you're there?
Could.
Maybe I'll watch.
I love those things.
It's a lot of money.
Hey, Rhett.
This is from Gavin.
All the way in Grand Prairie, Alberta.
Oh, I let us have Kevin Newsom from California.
No, no, different guy.
You love politics.
The wife and I are going to Nashville at the end of April.
It's our first vacation without the kids,
our first vacation since before the COVID.
We're planning to drink and eat non-stop.
What are the best places we have to check out?
Now, I know that we kind of always default to just go anywhere,
but is there
a spot? Is there something
is legends
I would go those places
first and then start to wander
oh hey
there's a Mexican place
across from
from the rink there on Broadway
in the new development part
it is phenomenal
phenomenal phenomenal
really really good
so I would take that in
And right beside the Mexican place is that fried chicken.
Is it Hattie B?
Haddy B's.
The Nashville.
Yeah.
But the problem with that place, a little secret here,
the problem with that place on Broadway's,
what's busy in Nashville, Dean?
Broadway.
Broadway's busy.
So that place gets lined the hell up.
You can take a five-minute cab.
There's another one just down the street.
In, out.
Yeah, and I think that, I don't know which one's the original.
because we went there to the one off Broadway when we were there for the whatever the hell it was,
awards, a draft or whatever the hell it was.
It was very good.
It was very good.
Pinder had the, I think he went with the hot.
Yeah, he crazy.
He went right in.
It was, it was spicy.
He had the beads of sweat on your, on his beak.
It wasn't crazy hot.
It was very good.
Like when I want hot, I don't want it to be just a walk in the park.
It should be a bit of a journey.
Like you want to have the beads of sweater.
It's not hot.
see, I'm okay with the beads of sweat.
I'm not okay with the baboon ass.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When you're dabbing for two or three days,
don't need that.
Was it worth it?
That's,
you're looking back and probably at that time,
when you're mid-dab session,
you're thinking it was not worth it.
Not worth it.
Could I have gone with medium
and have roughly the same experience?
Probably.
The one down the street here is hot.
Like, I'll tell you.
I wouldn't,
F with anything near the top of the radar there.
That's,
yeah.
It took me 45 minutes to get through one.
a year ago and it was like,
have you ever,
uh,
you ever gone to the Opry?
Nope.
Nor have I.
So I don't know whether I could,
to recommend that or not.
It feels like it's a very touristy thing,
but it is kind of a thing.
Yeah.
Um, we brought up the little kind of,
because there's a ton of them.
That's the thing about Nashville.
It's artists and musicians everywhere.
You find a little cafe like the bluebird cafe.
I think they,
I think they put tickets out for the week.
all at once and they go real quick.
So if you know when you're going, kind of line yourself up there.
There'll be lots of great stuff.
Like, rhyme in theater when we went like six,
seven years ago happened to have Steve Miller band playing with like some
country legend whose name I forgot.
And I'm embarrassed.
But like incredible.
Just oh yeah, this tonight.
I still can't believe I didn't go to that show.
Yeah, everyone was pretty hungover.
But some of us are used to operating that way.
That's true.
Yeah.
Some of us can deal with that better than others.
Okay.
Now this one, because one came in off of the socials.
Do I have one more here?
Okay, this is a good one.
This is a good one.
This is from Evan.
Yeah.
Are you ready, Rhett?
Because you're really going to have to.
Hey, Rhett, my girlfriend is adamant that it is gross to take leftover meat,
chicken breast, steak, etc.
To work and microwave it for lunch.
What is your take?
Appreciate it from Evan.
why do you have to microwave it first thought exactly so if you're okay to eat at room temp
you're probably okay to microwave it is my guess oh yeah i'm not against go ahead microwave it but
i feel no need to do that yeah i don't know what her what does she expect you to eat i was
going to say i feel like i feel like uh this girlfriend that's a past she would be alarmed
at what guys do yeah shelter i ate burgers like
that were left on my counter for days.
Even this morning I woke up and I'd left Greek ribs out and I ate them.
Why not?
I thought you were going to say you ate those burgers from underneath your truck seat.
No, those were, yeah.
They were.
That was months, not days.
Once they get solidified, I don't know.
That one's the raw car.
Petrified.
Now, because I know I was with you one time, you order pizza.
Sometimes it doesn't make it to the fridge right away when you're done.
Or the next morning or that day.
What's the cutoff for you for pizza that's been delivered and it's just sat on the counter and you kind of keep picking away pieces at it?
How many how many days out?
Is it hours?
It's, oh, it's not hours.
It's, I would say it depends on if I'm drinking or not.
Because if it's been sitting there and I come home drunk, it's being eaten.
I don't, there's no.
Right.
We were in Phoenix one time at.
Ah.
And his dad's, I guess it was his dad.
place. Anyway, we had ordered, Redd had ordered it.
We're getting Spanados or whatever that
place is. It was his favorite in Scottsdale.
So we got a bunch of wheels
brought in and it's delicious.
And it was
it was like
day three maybe of the
of the trip, but it was
well into it. And
you know how Rhett and his mannerisms
are. He just walks over to the counter and the
pizza box is there and
flips the lid up on
the on the pizza box and just
grabs a piece and these are not dainty dudes this is not a culture group of guys and even even they're
like are you sure you're uh that's been sitting out fly a little close to the sun there retro
especially if it's warm there does it gives it a look there was long there were no answer anything on
it it was fine probably give it the sniff check it's like i want to go back uh because it's
ask ret and i take great pride and providing
good advice.
I'm a little concerned with this girlfriend.
I think she's...
Red flags there, isn't there?
I think you got to read...
It's less about the food the next day
and microwaving and more about...
That has no impact on her life.
No. How are you...
That reeks of control.
Yes.
I'm not even saying building as you.
What do you mean? I can't do that.
Thank you.
You're not there.
When does it in?
My girlfriend is adamant that it is
gross to take leftover meat to work and microwave it.
So she doesn't have to. That's cool.
I'm not sure what she's concerned about.
Having an opinion on it is what's concerning to me.
I'd test her have a few other girlfriends here before I settle down there.
Yeah, I wouldn't be running to Vina Nova right away.
You know what?
Try the pizza test.
Leave it on the counter.
Mm-hmm.
And see how many days.
And if she's called at breakfast time, wait until you see her face the
next breakfast, a day and a half later.
Yeah, if you order it at night and you have some of it,
you leave it out in the next morning, you're grabbing a piece and she's grossed out,
pack your shit.
This ain't going to work out, baby.
Yeah.
I got to be me.
Daddy's got to be me.
Hey, Rhett, if I were to go to Bontan and say,
give me the best steak there is.
Oh, God.
What am I getting?
I like the baseball.
ribby from
long tonne.
Well,
and we got spoiled
once with the
Wagyu
Tomahawk.
Like that's probably
the highest end thing
in terms of price
point just because
it's Wagyu
Tomahawk.
But if you were to come
home or whatever,
I fill my freezer
I fell my freezer full of
baseball ribbys.
My kids and my wife,
they like the fillets.
So.
Yeah.
And you know,
it's one of those things
too.
You always say,
oh, it's the ribby.
It's the rabbi.
It really is.
it. Oh, it's got the name's flavor for sure.
It's just the right amount of fat in there for flavor, yeah.
Which is not to say I can't have a filet or something else.
No, I like that.
It's very good, but there's no mistakes there.
This is a trick question.
You're in good hands there.
Yes.
What do you feel like?
Yeah.
You know, in fairness, not everyone is as seasoned a vet as Rhett or has paid attention to the show like many have.
So the baseball rib eye.
They'll be flying off the shelves.
With Saskatchewan blackened seasoning.
If you can get it.
Saskia black.
Oh, here, this one came in on the Soche.
And actually, this is a good question.
I think anyway.
Are you aware of, I'll throw this out,
I'll explain it to you because they ask,
what do you think of the rule with the new women's professional hockey league?
Yes.
If a team is serving a minor penalty,
score is short-handed, their penalty is over.
So if you're, if you take a penalty,
then you score a short-handed, you get the goal and
your player gets to come out of the penalty.
If you score a shorthanded goal, your penalty is over.
Unbelievable.
That's the reward for going after it.
What do you think?
It's like a jail break.
You score and everyone's free.
I'm okay with it.
I think it's awesome.
The bigger rule that no one's talking about,
they're allowed to hit.
that's never been allowed in any pro women's leagues.
There is some significant hitting that's now taking place.
I'm super excited about that because that's one of the greatest parts of the sport
that was kind of just missing at times.
And the gals wanted it.
They got it in.
Awesome.
You know, the other thing they've got, the PWHL,
they're doing the three to one point system.
Yes, three points for a regulation win.
That makes sense.
Two points for an overtime shootout.
A number of points for every game given away.
What a concept, Gary.
It's not hard, right?
Yeah, I
I kind of like the
the penalty thing.
I'm even okay if you score,
you let the guy out.
I don't know.
I like the opposite.
You score,
you keep the time up and the remaining
in the two minutes.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
That's probably what you mean.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Because what you said is what happens.
Yeah.
Let's get some offense going.
Oh, yeah.
It does, it does,
if you've got a really good power play,
which not a lot of teams,
not all teams do,
to really feast.
but so yeah I I wasn't sure where you would fall in on that if you'd be a fan of the penalty or not being a defenseman you know there's so few shorties like flames are at 10 and that's a huge number like there might the average team might only have 10 a year we're talking about like one every three weeks it's pretty fucking minor yeah I think bowls should be put in place second if you score it's I like it yeah and if the other if the power play scores keep going you're two minutes
And if you're just going to be taking penalties like donkeys, there's the punishment.
Like put three on them.
Yeah.
We're the smartest people in the world.
Just ask us.
Fix this league in a heartbeat.
Yeah.
Toes.
We're the smartest people.
Yeah.
And the last one, I don't know if you can speak from experience.
Retro, need your help.
I've got a severe case of the roids.
I mean severe in all caps.
I've got a raisin hangin.
What do I do?
As a medical profession.
Right.
He's got a raisin hanging.
Sounds like surgery to me, buddy.
That doesn't sound good at all.
Sounds like surgery.
I've not Googled to see if that's a thing.
The hangin raisins.
I'm not sure.
Surgery is a thing.
Is it?
Oh, yeah.
If it gets serious, that's how you solve it.
All caps severe?
That's, I don't think it's the less severe that requires the surgery.
It is the more severe.
I'm not an expert here.
I'm just guessing.
Maybe, you know what, Paul's doing too much time on the, on the can with the phone or something.
Yeah.
You can't be sitting down on the bowl for too long.
Haddy bees, whatever you're, yeah, whatever it is.
The red hots, whatever it is you're up to.
You've got to change.
White hots, red hots.
did we have any advice for surgery?
That's what we're saying.
That's the advice for Paul.
Yeah.
They got the cream.
Get the cream out.
You'll be fine.
All right.
Start with the cream.
And then the knife.
I'm guessing if you've got the grapes.
You've already.
The grapes.
You got grapes?
You already got cream.
Yeah.
You've tried the cream.
You think Dr.
Jay could use the laser on that?
All right.
We're going to get.
They don't usually aim it there.
Do you know?
We'll start with your soft palate.
Anything to do with that.
Like,
when you're getting a massage. Now flip over and we'll just adjust the sheet.
Those chairs don't move that way. No. No, no, no, no, no.
There you go, Greg. You're welcome. Bontan meat market opened its doors in 1921. They provide the best service and highest quality product.
It's just the facts. Best AAA Alberta Bee, free range poultry, grain fed Alberta lamb, milk fed veal, fresh Alberta pork.
And he doesn't want us to talk about it, but the best G.D. potato salad you're going to find.
Sorry, Greg.
28 Crowfoot Circle in the Northwest,
Fonton Meat Market.
Thank you, sir.
Maybe he met grapes.
Might have to do some Googling, I guess.
As we get older, these things that your body will do to you.
Got to be ready for this stuff.
Let's do a little bit of Betway.
I'm not right to do a Betway Betts.
Betway bets.
What do we got?
We got 11 games tonight.
Big slate.
23 teams in action.
And you were timed out.
Yeah.
Betway.
there you see it.
Get that Betway app in your phone.
Play along.
We got NFL playoffs.
We had 11 games tonight.
It's prime betway time.
The official gaming partner of Bardburner
as we look at our Betway bets for it tonight.
I'm sticking with the flames and the Leafs.
Nazim Codry, he has been real good.
And I bet you he'd love to score against his former team.
What is it with Todry here?
He has got, what's his role right now?
Seven game points streak, five goals, five assists in the
the seven games, anytime goal plays plus 187.
And old Willie Nealander,
I think he's pointless in four games,
which is odd for him.
And doesn't it feel like he always scores against the flames?
I think it was last year he had four games ago.
The overtime win winner, I think in Toronto.
And I think he scored in a shootout.
It just feels like he gives it to the flames.
He's too funny.
Plus one 15 for an anytime goal for,
Willie Nealander, those are my bets.
I'm going to stay with Sharky, staying hot plus 200 for a goal from Sharon Govich.
And I love Conner Zerry plus money to get a point.
That's until they fix that, I'm not going away from it.
It's been good to me all year.
Zeri on that cadre line, you know, maybe we can connect on a Zeri to Kadry.
And both of us win like we did yesterday.
You had a Sam Ryanhart goal.
I had Sam Ryanhart scoring first.
Chatching.
Yeah.
You've been, and this Zeri, like you say, you've been.
You could just keep going with this one.
Yeah, as long as it's still plus money,
I'm just going to keep hammering this.
Yeah.
And even if it doesn't hit every single game, it's plus money.
You're going to be, uh,
when are you moving to,
where did Brett want to go in Florida,
Belize?
Belize.
When are you going to Belize with all your Zeri winnings?
Not yet.
No, no.
I'm going to Jasper this weekend.
There's a double seizures are a little pricey,
so I've saved up for that.
Oh, yeah.
What's going on tomorrow?
Yeah, Dean, what is going on tomorrow?
It's a good question.
There's a lot.
Tomorrow's tomorrow.
Tomorrow's tomorrow.
It's a bit of a move.
You know what?
Moving target is what we're doing.
We need to be in Jasper.
And again, the organizers, it's a headshaker.
This is just brutal.
The teams that are the furthest away need to play in the opening game of the tournament on a Friday.
It's not to just, you don't do it.
you can't do that
anyway we need to get the Jasper tomorrow
and it's going to be a little bit
to wait if we end the show at the usual time
and then get up there was a 6 o'clock start
well you got to check in first
and you got to get half in the bag
you know Mandeev's got to go through his calisthetics
so the whole routine he does warming up
the elastics and bands
Jack's got to drink a Mickey of Southern
comfort
yeah we got a lot to get
in before I'm going to have to source some mushrooms
and get that into the blood. You've got to get creative
out there. Okay. We're going to do a sponsor read
right away. So don't do that.
So that's the thing. We're going to be starting the show we think a little bit
earlier tomorrow. Frank Sarah Valley is
in town. He is, you know what? He's in you, Calgary.
Frank Saravalee, deep inside you
as we speak, going to the game
tonight and we'll be doing his
DFO show from our studios tomorrow.
He so he'll be, I believe it's going to
to be rank with us.
He'll leave.
Darren Dregger coming on the show.
So double insider.
Maybe an hour earlier than usual with a conclusion right at the,
at the end of Dregs.
Frank's hiding from me.
This is an off fair conversation for sure.
But yeah, we don't.
An hour early, Rhett, that's probably the move.
Frank, I noted, hey, you're in town now, aren't you?
Yes, I am.
Okay, where are we meeting for a drink? He says, I can't. It's day one. I cannot do the Pinder
vortex on day one. Well, he's speaking from experience. Okay. How did that go last year?
Great. And you know what? Innocent Frank, hey, do you want to go out? Sure, Ryan, that sounds great.
Thanks for the hospitality. Yep. Little does he know. You're a madman.
Yeah, five or six venues later. He threw in the towel. It was a nice night. And we showed up
and worked the next day. What's the problem? Yeah. You're a villain. You're the guy that at the end of the
night you pull your mask off and you're
you've been the bad guy all along
had no idea.
So yeah, Sarah Valley going to join us.
He's coming up to Jasper.
We'll be doing that all this weekend.
So be watching on your social.
We'll be dropping some stuff in.
I think watching how RJ performed last weekend in Phoenix.
I'm not sure if we should,
I'm not sure what to do with him now.
He needs his own program.
That's what we need for him.
he got pinned
that's what we need for him. Is that fair to say?
You pindered him last weekend.
Kind of.
Yeah.
It all,
it's a happy ending.
Everyone's fine,
but it was,
there was,
he was flying a little close to the sun for Archie.
So it was way too close to the sun for Archie.
Yeah.
Them wax wings melted red.
You have no.
You are a heartless,
heartless guy.
And I worry about Jack now.
Do you want to fly to you?
Jack didn't,
Jack didn't come to Phoenix.
And now he's,
doing this one.
Good, good. Anyway,
we're looking forward to it. Tourism
Jasper, Jasper in January.
It's on till the end of the month. All kinds of
events, live music, Apre Ski,
which is Spanish, I believe.
There is a Putin festival
taking place. What?
Which is also Spanish.
The pond hockey tournament is on this
weekend. The January
Street Party goes January 27th,
live music, street vendors, fireworks
for all the events.
details on all of it and how you can be part of it,
go to jasper.combele slash January.
Did you see Rhett's face light up there when you mentioned Poutine Festival?
Poutine Fest, yeah, man.
I like that a lot.
I don't stray too far, though.
You don't have to.
Just play the hits.
Traditional.
Yeah.
Fast, like if it's a fast food thing,
I just go traditional.
But I'll tell you what, I'm trying to remember where it was.
It was the Montreal smoked meat,
Poutine. So it's your Poutine and then they throw the hoof.
I'll make an exception for you, sweetheart.
Come over here.
And you get inside of me now. Now it's my turn.
And we'll talk about the grapes later.
Jasper Pond Hockey Tournament.

Yeah, I'm sure you will.
You're a fun guy.
I'm a fun guy.
Speaking of fun guys.
You want to do some...
Jasper has them.
Yeah, I hear it.
Let's do a little bit of DoorDash.
Mention there's 11 games tonight.
Little DoorDash, what's on the menu?
It's easy with DoorDash.

That's Nation.
to five and kick in that deal.
So what's on the menu for DoorDash?
Well, we're going to start with a 530 appetizer of the Bulls visiting the Raptors after
the Seacom trade yesterday. Toronto went off.
They were up by 36 at one point over the heat.
We're favored last night.
Stomp them.
We'll see if they keep that roll going.
RJ Barrett came back in that deal from the Knicks.
He's been very good.
And then we get into prime time.
It's the Leafs and Flames.
Seven o'clock Toronto slight favorites here in Calgary,
the saddle on this is the final
of the two game season series
between Bradger Living's Leifes and Craig
Conroy's Calgary Flames
How about it? And he's not even going to be there.
It's busy. It's trying to do his job.
Can't be around signing autographs, waving at people.
He's busy working. It doesn't really matter.
Who is, could you just, because, oh, it's Colorado Boston
tonight, right? And Vegas and Rangers, two really good
matchups there, yeah. So Colorado, the only reason I bring that up is
Lindholm Bowl, whoever wins gets them.
Well, maybe, yeah.
Yeah. Kail McCarr is pretty good.
He's a Calgary boy.
He's a Calgary guy.
He plays for Colorado.
He's a defenseman.
He needs two points to reach 300 in his career.
And one goal to pass Tyson Barry for most goals by an avalanche D man.
But here's, he's got 298 points.
McCar can match Bobby Orr as the fastest defense.
in NHL history to record 300 points if he gets two points tonight.
We've had McCar and Orr weirdly in the same breath a lot.
Way more than I ever thought.
You think about all the great defensemen from Oar till now, none of them doing what
Kail McCar is doing.
We're not talking about a really good defenseman, not Nicholas Lidstrom, not a Hall of Fame,
not Ray Bork, who some consider to be the best.
Two points tonight, he will match the star.
of Bobby Orr.
Wild. Go get it, Kail.
Please do. Go get it.
That's the thing about guys that good, too.
They'll see that and go, yeah, I'm going to.
Oh, is that really? Okay.
Well, I'll get a couple.
You're right. Yeah. Maybe I get a helper on one of McKinnon's two or three.
Sure. Maybe, you know what? I'll get three just to pass or and have the record to myself.
I don't know if that is a record, but it's a 301. That's more than 300.
Same game is played.
Carrazy.
Not so.
So good.
The Tyson Barry one, because he and Tyson Barry right now are tied in career goals by an avalanche defensemen.
Both of them have 75.
Tyson Barry got 75 in 484 games.
McArre, 278.
I think we realize, right?
We realize what we're watching.
Pretty special.
I think we do realize what we're watching.
What's amazing is how about, what's this fourth, fifth year?
He made his debut in the playoffs.
Ab's against Flames in what, 2019?
Spring of 2019.
You know where I'm going to go with this, so, right?
Like how, I mean, it was a high pick.
High pick.
Yeah, four?
But Bobby Orr?
Better than Bobby Orr isn't going?
Nobody saw that he maybe should be.
Yeah.
Or expand it.
Calgary kid, brought the cup home, do it again.
That when that deals up where you're making nowhere near enough money,
come to Calgary.
We'll give you way too much money.
You know what would be you'd love you talk about truth serum is to pump it inside
Joe Sackick and Colt.
So where did you have?
Like you took them.
Because that was the Nolan Patrick won, wasn't it?
You know, did, uh, is that who you had right there?
Were you hoping that somebody, ah, shit.
I guess, okay, well, let's take McCar then because our guy's gone.
Yeah, that draft, it was, uh,
is it Heskin in there too or somebody else?
I'm trying to remember.
I look, see, because you know, I hate to do this.
Nico Hescher goes at one to New Jersey.
Nolan Patrick 2 to Philadelphia.
Right.
They flip flopped, yeah.
Miro Haskinen 3 to Dallas.
Yeah.
Imagine being disappointed with picking Miro Haskin in a 3.
It's only made possible by Kail McCar being the best defenseman I've seen in my life.
And that's, of course, when you hear people, the Philadelphia took Patrick at 2.
The next three players were Miro Haskin and Kail McCar, Elias Pedersen.
Patterson went five.
Jeez.
that's that's a hell of a class right there and patrick doesn't like pizza wasn't that what the thing was
didn't draft class that year sounded like didn't like pizza and that was a huge red flagged us on the old
show we didn't we weren't shy about saying that now did we did he retire and i'm not being cheek because
he retired not long ago yeah he had some serious migraine stuff he couldn't sort out and he got
swapped or was he Nashville Vegas he was bouncing around yeah oh sorry tease a piece I guess but
so uh let's go
Kyle McCart. Let's get three tonight.
Let's go. Let's get three in the first period. We know you can do it.
Bobby Orr. Finally we can stop talking about Bobbyor.
I am sick of it.
So tired of talking about Bobby. It's a good.
A good player. Thanks for being a part of the show. That's DoorDat. Dash that for the win with DoorDash.
Dash that. Promo Code Nation 25.
Tomorrow there will be a show. When it starts, how long it goes?
