Starting point is 00:00:15 Hello, friends. Look at us. Here we are on a Friday. Time to do the podcast. There's Pinder alive and well. We're back. Colors, not colors, a little better, hey? I got a red light in here.
Starting point is 00:00:33 See this? Trying to add a little. Oh, to give you some color. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's working. And now that the Lindholm jersey's been given away, what do you got in there?
Starting point is 00:00:43 I just threw up a Soroka. You got a good props to our boy. Is that all? Yeah. No big deal. Just a sorroca jersey. Signed by a man. And there's Rhett who looks like he's a kid sitting at the adult table.
Starting point is 00:00:55 A pan down. You got to get you on a phone bar. There he is. There he is. That Bill's hoodie in there. Is it storming? Did I hear that on the pre-show? It's blustery.
Starting point is 00:01:08 I had too much creamy soup. Too much. It's sitting a little heavy. Didn't know he could OD on soup. I have to say out of all the things that I thought with this move to Buffalo, I didn't think that your soup intake would be the one thing that would go through the roof. I thought maybe wings or booze or something. Not soup, but yet here we are.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Don't hardly drink and I eat a lot of soup. Pardon me? I had a quart and a half of creamy seafood bisque and heavy. Doesn't hardly drink? Camera goes off. If the camera goes off, I apologize. Wasn't he hungover on Monday? No.
Starting point is 00:01:52 I haven't had a drink. Soup hangover. For a couple weeks. Wow. This Friday. What's going on? Tight on cash? Handovers.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Yeah. Huggovers. It's a real thing. There are a lot of things that become more challenging as we age. Those are one of them for sure. Yep. They're no fun. I had about a two and a half or two and a half day one over the Christmas break.
Starting point is 00:02:21 It was like, oh, man, thought I really thought I should be back into better spirits by now. So, so yeah, this is, this is my fun. They hurt more, so you got to get smarter. What I substitute for alcohol and drugs is doing this show with you guys. It looks like it's making it. So are you, yeah, are you, are you, avoiding Pinder or the roads or the weather. It's a week at home this week,
Starting point is 00:02:51 which I don't care about, just out of curiosity. Yeah. Monday, Tuesday, studio, Wednesday, we had a big high-level meeting that ran a little late. Dodging me wasn't a bad idea Wednesday either. And, and yeah, you were kind of loggie. And then yesterday, Pinder wasn't going to be in studio. So I just stayed home.
Starting point is 00:03:15 And today I kind of feel like, you know, Friday's kind of a nice thing to do. Friday you just, you turn off the mic, you're already home, you begin, you kind of begin your weekend. So it's kind of become a Friday thing for me. Wolverines on a big business trip. So, you know, it's no one state is missing. Yeah. I thought Friday was your just let loose day where you just happy hour and give her. No, that we'll look at, it's Hawaiian shirt day, right?
Starting point is 00:03:42 It's Friday. So you wear a Hawaiian shirt. If you'd like. If you so choose. Yeah, if you'd like, if you'd like. It's a Calgary Flames game day. Get your helmet on the Anaheim Ducks. Already I saw on the YouTube chat.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Somebody's a nervous Nelly. This is giving me memories of going back to the worst game seven ever played in national hockey league history. The Flames and the Ducks. How excited we were for that game. This is not game. It's a little arbitrary kind of picking, you know, cherry picking a little bit. But it was terrible. You were there.
Starting point is 00:04:11 You'd understand scar tissue with the ducks. I mean, the craziest curse of losing in a building in the history of the league flames there. You know, you had a couple seasons and very quickly at the hands of the ducks, albeit with like no one overlapping from them. And like their stats are so bad that you're like they probably will lose to these guys because any time you've seen them against the last place team, they shit their pants. If you want to be inspired, you must go back to that series and look at where the ducks were in February of that year.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Okay. That is what the flames are hoping to duplicate. They won one hell of a run and were hot. So was that 0-7 or 08? 0-6. 0-7. 0-5-06. 0-5-0-0-0-6. Oh.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Yeah. They came back and they were kind of middling and out of the playoffs. And all of a sudden they started to roll and they kept on rolling and Daryl freaked out. And I remember a month afterwards being in the gym at the rink and getting yelled at again. And then I started to avoid the rink because I realized that he had not calmed down and it was ready to pop anyone's head off that was associated with that team. Yeah, a month after elimination. Oh, this is great.
Starting point is 00:05:32 You're working out. Hey, we should. Oh, good. You're working out. You should be. I'm so poised. Yeah, the brooding didn't help. I wonder.
Starting point is 00:05:42 I know he wanted it to, but the brooding didn't get you back into the postseason tournament, did it? No, it wasn't good. It wasn't good. I understood his frustration. I didn't understand a month later still hanging on to it. But hey, it was intense and he was dialed in and he was not happy that the Edmonton of Oilers were still mucking about. Expectations. I took my workouts to, yeah, I took my workouts to a different locale following that.
Starting point is 00:06:12 That makes sense. Yeah, expectations were high. We had missed the season of hockey. Coming back, still fresh, they run to the Cup final from 04. You add veterans like McCarty and Tony Amonte. Perhaps too many? Yeah, certainly too many.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Weird, Darrell with too many vets. They got to get older. Daryl wouldn't lean to vets too much, would he? No, we had a lot of speed. Two years earlier. and now we've got a lot of veterans. Okay. We still won the division.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Oh, dear. Yeah. Still won the division. Well, that guy will teach some good habits. He scored the OT winner in game one. You can't question D. Mack. He contributed. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Just need someone to teach the kids. Hey? What are you doing on off day? Follow D. Like of this fellow. He was a two-year flame, hey? Yeah. Huh.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Yeah. And that was it. He was in that group where all of a sudden a lot of guys played their last hockey as member of the Calgary. This little run there is flames and out for a lot of guys that came from that team. Who are some of the other names there? Because mentioned McCarty. Amonte came in. Roman Hammerluck.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Jason Wahemer was there for a few short months. Stint two for Williams. hammerlock 31 Chris Simon 33 Sean Donovan 30 Stefan Yelle 31 McCarty 33 Market 36 can I interrupt you for a second that the other issue with this the veteran side of things is that's fine if have veterans and have experience take a look at the people he got rid of after the 04 run now they may not have been Hall of Fame type players. They were young.
Starting point is 00:08:20 They were trying to prove themselves, and they were all fast. I mean, Marty Jellan, it wasn't young, but we had to get ready. Like, there's a lot of guys that left that room.
Starting point is 00:08:31 There's a lot of guys that left that room that were super fast. Speed to burn, Lombo, and all the, like, and we couldn't, and then we got older and wiser,
Starting point is 00:08:43 but maybe not as skilled. or fast. Daryl the GM. Olegs. So Robin Rageer in that 04 run, I just, I don't know why it struck me. He was 23, 24 years old then. Oh yeah. He was just a kid. I don't know why, obviously he played.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I just think if you guys same age, that same, that whole same group, I didn't think of him as a young defenseman necessarily in that 04 run. Oh, he was, he was absolutely a kid. No play to playoff game. A lot of those guys hadn't. So whatever. What's going on? Pinder. Fixing some lights.
Starting point is 00:09:22 That's all. Lights on, lights off. Lights on, lights off. Flacks on, wax off in there. You guys having a good chat. Well, here's the thing. Don't worry about 0406 or any of that. It's 2023.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Yep. And tonight it's the, the Anaheim Ducks. And this year's ducks against this year's flames. Now, I saw, It was actually Ryan Pike who had gone through since the All Star break. Both teams identical records. The Ducks and Flames both five, six, and four since the break.
Starting point is 00:09:53 The, the Ducks back to back losses. They were beaten three, two, and overtime in Vancouver the other night. But our four, one, and two in their last seven. So, and here's how it's going for the Ducks. That's about as good as it's gotten this season. I think they were on a what a three-game win streak at somewhere in the middle but stringing together wins has not been an easy chore for the anaheim ducks for sure limes haven't struck three together since early december yeah i'd expect we'll see john gibson it was lucas do stahl in net the other night gibson has still been their guy he no one has faced more shots in the n hl this season than john gibson they are uh interestingly uh 32nd in shots allowed 30
Starting point is 00:10:43 second in goals allowed. 32nd in 5 on 5, 4 against. 30th in penalty kill, 30th in power play, 31st in goals 4. So this is, you know, clearly me not trying to be jinxy pants, but you can look at all those things and think about how much better you are than the Anaheim Ducks. They got the same record since the All-Star break,
Starting point is 00:11:05 and they've strung three wins together twice since you lost at it. Do not fall victim to this trap game, please, for the love of God. And it feels like the runway's so short that it would be really, really hard for them to do that. But again, until this team proves they won't, you have to worry about it. It looked like it was going to happen in Arizona. We've seen it happen multiple times against Chicago. We saw it against Columbus. We saw it against Philly.
Starting point is 00:11:30 A bottom six team is not a slam dunk here. They are worse against bottom feeders than they are against playoff teams. It's wild. You agree, Retro? Yes. No, I actually think it's the Ottawa game. And the reason I think it's the Ottawa game is because it's a weird how I'll explain this. They know they can't overlook Anaheim tonight.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Okay. And you're going to feel naturally that Ottawa is fighting for a spot, so we'll be up for Ottawa. So I feel like they'll recognize that there's you can't fall flat against Anaheim, but that it should just happen against Ottawa because Ottawa is in a spot and they're right there. in there. So, well, that'll just come together for us and we'll naturally have a rivalry. I think they beat Anheim tonight. I think they, I think they have a good game. I'm more worried about Ottawa. I also predicted a, I'm great at predictions. Overs 10-4 last night. So please put a lot of stock in my predictions and opinion. Yeah, as of late, you've been, you've been red-hot.
Starting point is 00:12:42 It's been good on the over-unders. call against Boston for the Sabres. That was 7-1. Now, you took the over. You were kind of thinking maybe the Sabres last night, but you pivoted at the last minute, it went with the over. That was at 10-2 final for Dallas?
Starting point is 00:12:57 10-4. Against Buffalo, 10-4. Definitely over, either way. So good job by you. Yeah, I don't know. I'm still in that spot where they need to show me, I need a couple more games. I need a couple more games from Markstrom.
Starting point is 00:13:13 I need a few more of because we've had the good efforts. We saw Philadelphia and all of these. He played well, but you didn't win. Coleman, we're a very good team that can't find, that doesn't know how to win. And I don't know if two wins teaches you everything you need to know about winning. No. You play well tonight.
Starting point is 00:13:31 You're convincing at home you win this one and then Ottawa because I looked here. The last nine home games for the Calgary Flames, they have one regulation wins. They have a couple over extra time wins. but they lost as we as we go back in reverse order. Minnesota 3-0-0 lost. Toronto beat them 2-1. They lost in overtime to Boston.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Prior to that, it was Philly, the 4th, Regulation loss. Reuters. Beed the Rangers in overtime. 5-2 loss to Detroit. Red Wings. They lost to Chicago before that, beat Columbus in overtime.
Starting point is 00:14:08 And then back on January, the 21st, they beat Tampa on that final game of their road trip by a score of six to three. They played well. I guess the one thing that feels different about this Flames Group, because the sample size we're looking at
Starting point is 00:14:22 whether it's the season or the last month or since the All-Star break or at home, look at that. Ret, your son. Holy shit. That's Rhett's son. There you are, buddy. Hey.
Starting point is 00:14:32 What's going on? Hey. Hey, dog. I can't hear me. That's a good-looking pooch. That's a good-looking pooch. She should have kept that dog. They should have more than one, more than one regulation win in the last nine, don't you think?
Starting point is 00:14:48 Yeah, me too. Yeah. Docks? Ducks are flames. Turned his head when you said ducks. Hey. This is really good for those of you listening on the podcast. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Yeah, they're like, what a boomer's stole my dog and he's showing it. Look at those ears. Yeah. That's a good looking pooch. Look at me. It's big. Can't believe you abandoned that thing. Fat. Fat dog, no.
Starting point is 00:15:18 He's, no, he's lean. He's tight. He's tight. What was I saying? Yes, shitty at home. I was saying. Don't be, just don't. Like, sample size is, like, you know what? The only thing giving you hope here for the flames isn't what they've done over 30 or 60 days or since. It's that they finally are getting some fucking saves. It feels silly to look beyond Markstrom becoming a dad when you started getting saves. That's what this whole thing is about right now.
Starting point is 00:15:45 if you're going to get saves, it changes everything. Pinder just hit it out of the park. That's all. That's it. That's all. It's the goaltending that they were supposed to have. It's the goaltending they need to have. And without it, they ain't going anywhere.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Just feels silly to go back and talk about this team a month ago. It's like, and look, maybe he'll be fucking two on four again tonight or something gross. But the only reason you believe they can get back in this thing is because of the goalie. You haven't seen his body. language look that good all year. Agreed. All year. So Minnesota. You hear it all the time. Goaltending can, yeah,
Starting point is 00:16:25 goaltending can hide a lot of your issues or a lot of your warts, but it can also probably falsely magnify some things that you think are wrong with your game or things that a lot of teams can overcome with average goal tending. And they haven't been able to do that. They aren't dead last in scoring. Their power play hasn't been great, but it's not debt. Yeah. There's enough there for them not to be world's best.
Starting point is 00:16:47 but quite a bit better. And now that we've seen that that that's the proof to me is we've now seen how they've performed with good goal tending. So all the other stuff that we've been bitching and moaning about to me kind of takes that back that back seat and here's the proof. You've had good goal tending and you've won a game that probably you shouldn't have. You've been in games you shouldn't have. You still lost lost one, but you got a point against the number one team in the national hockey league and if you get that for another 17 games then you've got a real shot and your your whole team was devised around that goaltending there's a reason you went out and gave them all that money in that contract was to go i don't
Starting point is 00:17:31 want to muck about with a kid and figure out if he could play or not i don't want to be in the skinner or the campbell or the the talbot or the other sweepstakes of they can be good but we're not sure i want to i want a proven guy i want a guy i can rely on and for the most part you when he's other than five months this year he has been that guy he's been really damn good and that's that's how you work out they their team was built from markstrom up like let's okay markstrom's gonna he's gonna be good enough that's six million bucks or whatever he gets paid that's five wins for a team that wouldn't have got had those wins and we're that's why we're paying him because he's going to get us those 10 points
Starting point is 00:18:14 and those 10 points are going to put us in a playoff spot and now we've got a group of guys that can grind it out and perhaps do some damn. It's all based off of him. Yeah, and if they could get two points tonight, guys, they're two back at Winnipeg. And Winnipeg has dropped 9 of 11. This is a...
Starting point is 00:18:30 And they play each other. Serious swoon. They got one left against Winnipeg. They got at least one more against Nashville as well. One of each, I'm looking at it last two weeks of the year. And Winnipeg, for all the struggles they had, it's not getting easier. at Florida, at Tampa on a back-to-back, at Carolina, who have been lights out this year,
Starting point is 00:18:46 travel home first game back, Boston, and then they face Nashville where at least for the flames, both teams won't win that night. Like it's, and look, maybe Nashville's the bigger threat to the flames, but it is quite a fall from grace for the jets here since mid-feb. That's my only concern is that I don't know that they're that bad either. They've got a hell of a goaltender and they've got depth up front. It's surprising to see him drop that much. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:14 I mean, it can happen. How long does that swoon go on? Yeah, it looks like Kellebuck's power play hasn't. Sorry, go ahead, Ryan. Just he was saying the Jets are better than that. They are. They haven't been getting goaltending. Five against, four against, six against, six against, six against, five against,
Starting point is 00:19:32 three against four against. That's not Hellebuck when he's right. See, well, that's flames, right? Totally. They're the same type of team. We need goaltending, then we can play. Don't get goal tending, struggle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Just get me five, guys. I'm going to grab my coffee. We got a shot. Yeah, all right. I got to go see what my dogs are doing. Brian, you got this. Yeah, sure, right on. See you guys.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Awesome. Okay. So, we rolled through some of the numbers for ye old Anaheim ducks tonight. 30 second in goals against shots against goal differential at five on five. As for the flames tonight. two wins in a row. To Foley, your hero in Dallas on Monday. To Foley again with the winner against Minnesota on Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Maybe To Foley makes an appearance in the Betway bets of the day later on today. We'll see. And it feels like Dino maybe if there was a night, this group could spread their wings offensively. It would be against the worst penalty kill, the easiest team to score against, and the team that allows the most shots in the NHL, all of those things, the Anaheim Ducks. You would think, but because we are so, like you say, it's PTSD with this team this year. You think they're going one way and then they go another. The one caveat there, I was looking this morning, their power play over 12 in the last five games.
Starting point is 00:20:55 It's a one for 19 stretch. The one goal that they've scored in that was the 4-1 goal in Colorado. It's a fully scored on the power play against, the only goal they scored against the abs that night. And outside of that, it's been zeros, but yet I feel like having watched these games, I don't feel like their power play has been awful. I feel like there's been other stretches during the year where we've been pulling our hair out, and it's been terrible. I haven't, outside from obviously not scoring, I haven't disliked the power play.
Starting point is 00:21:25 It feels like they're all around it. They've also made some more tweaks. We noticed out of the All-Star Break, they went back to the old jazz standards. Now they've moved Weiger onto that top unit and Anderson of the second. I'm not quite sure that that's what you want necessarily. Weger's never really been a big power play guy unless Ekblad's been hurt. We'll see if they keep tweaking, but for a while they're out of the All-Star break, it looked pretty damn good.
Starting point is 00:21:49 When they got away from the whole keep this line together, I think they had Palché, Cadre, Eubertoe all together. Now it's more of a mix here. And there it looks like they've got Anderson on the top unit and Hannafin on the second, but we've seen Weiger very recently on the top unit, and I just don't know how much of a fit that is. Let's see what happened the other day. You went to take a leak during the show.
Starting point is 00:22:11 And now it's just a, it's open season. Well, you guys want at the same fucking time. What the hell's going on here? Is this some sort of a joke? You good, buddy? You're really good. Yeah, really good. Yeah, good stuff.
Starting point is 00:22:25 We had, of course, as we told you, every once in a while, probably about three, four games a month. We've got tickets for you, Barnburner listeners and viewers, courtesy of Madrose Pub. Great spot. I got another, somebody was tweeting me or sending me a message the other day. They went up there, so they ain't lying. Barnburner boys ain't lying. Had a great meal up there, sent the photo. Today, before I tell you who won the tickets for tonight's game.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Special? The lunch special, grilled turkey and Swiss with a loaded baked potato soup. Now, Red, I know that you're, you know, it's not soup. You're maybe a soup overload, but a load. What a baked potato soup? I don't do enough cream of potato soups. I don't know if I could do more, I don't know if I could do more creamy potatoes
Starting point is 00:23:15 or creamy soup today, but baked potato soup, one of my all-time favorites. Remember my restaurant called Houston's down in the States? They used to have one. Oh, so good. With the beef dip. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:33 That's the best beef dip I've ever had in my life. It's the best beef dip in the world, Dean. Is it everywhere? Is this just in one region of the country? Where do we find this Houston's? No, there's some fancy. It's a chain, but it's not a huge chain. Like, I think there's eight to ten of them across America.
Starting point is 00:23:52 All right. Yeah. Beef dip. So anyway, congratulations going out. Our ticket giveaway, Mad Rose, we got you on social media. Tag a friend, follow, do all that stuff. Congratulations to Martin. Martin Giroux.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Marty. Giroux. The Eliminator. He is the winner. That's right. He's headed to the game tonight to watch the Ducks and the Flames, courtesy of Mad Rose Bob. Yeah, you better be, Marty. Where the right colored jersey?
Starting point is 00:24:25 I was going to say, there's no, not like he's got family on the ducks or anything like that. Get your red jersey on and do it right. 15 Royal Vista Place. Visit their website. Get some food on the takeout if you need. madrose. Pub, you'll see the menu, you'll see all the specials, and you'll see why you should be heading to Madrose Pub. Kid-friendly, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, so take the family, go and enjoy yourself. Have a good time. Over at Madrose Pub.
Starting point is 00:24:50 We'll do the Pinder Report coming up in a little bit. What time is our game tonight? Seven? Normal? Normal? It's the one thing I didn't bother. Yeah, it's a normal. I didn't bother. That makes sense. Friday normal.
Starting point is 00:25:01 All right. Saturday 8th, right? I also wanted to. Friday's a 7. Yeah. Because I wanted to say thanks and a tip of the old, the old Christmas cap to Johnny Winwick and the folks at ATB Financial. Tonight. They donated some prizes to our top shelf elf Christmas campaign in support of Closer to Home and the Christmas adoption, adopt the family. One up in the third deck, up in the press level, there's going to be 25 kids screaming yell and holler and it was our team builder package. 25 tickets. They got vouchers for pop and chips or hot dogs or whatever. So thanks to ATB for that
Starting point is 00:25:42 prize package, raising money. And thanks obviously to, I believe it was Sean who came through with the winning bid on that. So I would probably taking your, your kids hockey team or something like that. Or it's just a bunch of drunk pinders. Those are my people. Three hans. I'll keep the drink. Who needs a hot dog? Three hot dog. You take the hot dog. Half a beer for hot dog. Anyone have half a beer? Hey, can I just say that anyone that curls at the Glencoe on Monday night is not part of the 300?
Starting point is 00:26:13 No, no, no. I know. It's fine. It's a shortened visit. He likes to go and hang out with you for a second or two, and then it gets enough. No, you know what? That alumni lounge up there, Rhett, you never wait for a drink. The washrooms are right there.
Starting point is 00:26:26 And if you need to get the bleep out of there, there's the huge staircase right outside to the parkade. And if you need to get to Dutton's, okay, you got to get down from Everest with the last TV time out in the third. go. Mm-hmm. What does it sound like when you go down the stairs? Right. But like that for like four minutes. I was going to.
Starting point is 00:26:45 You were saying, I thought, because Pinder, you've got, you've split some season seats, haven't you? And aren't some of them in the third deck? Yes. So, old man, sister, brother and I collectively have half of two seats, first row of the 300s, which is just awesome. Like, it's basically the press box view. Easy in and out.
Starting point is 00:27:06 And it's like, I don't know that there's like, what, for 40 bucks or something? Like, that's amazing. Kid me? Let's go. And you can be you and not totally draw attention to yourself. Because there will be some other Tom Foolery going on around you. You kind of mix in better than the world. I blend in the three hunts.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Yeah, you get some Lugans up there. It's, yeah, it's rowdy. God, beer gets spilt, no big deal, right? It's not like John Vaz-Bisberg's wife's hair is right in front of the whole night, right? I can have a little fun. I'm a sweet sky. Yeah, those were good to. Sweet sky.
Starting point is 00:27:43 McLeod Law, another partner on board with us here at Barnburner, bringing you the injury report. We'll talk about the Anaheim Duck side of things, flames, knock on wood, things are okay. But it's Peter Klein over at McLeodlaw. McLeod-dashlaw.com personal injury. They want to help with the stress. Obviously, you manage yourself, you manage the injury and what's going to. on in your life and they will take care of everything. The legal, insurance, medical claims, all that stuff that can just overwhelm you.
Starting point is 00:28:13 That is where McLeod Law comes in. Go online as I say or give, get a hold of Peter Klein. There's the, there you see, oh look at old Pete there. It is. Oh geez. P-C-C-L-I-N-E at MacLeoddashlaw.com and get Peter and the good folks at McLeodlaw working for you. Pinder today the injury report.
Starting point is 00:28:34 report. Yeah, lots going on in the NHL. We'll start with the two teams we're focused on tonight, Calgary and Anaheim. Schillington still out for personal reasons and Michael Stone still unavailable for the flames. That's not new. Those have been tried, tested and true for a while here. As for the
Starting point is 00:28:50 ducks, a little more dinged up. Adam Henrique injured reserve, John Moore, the defenseman they acquired from Boston. Injury Reserve, Anthony Stollars, who was their backup. He's hurt. That's why Lucas Dostal's up from San Diego. Good young goaltender, they really like. Jamie Drysdale, if you're forgetting some of these young, like, why aren't they better? Didn't they have some young prospects? Driesdale missing this season, a bunch of it with
Starting point is 00:29:13 injury. And then Erho Vakenainen also dinged up as well, the defenseman. So five regulars out. Around the league, Karel Kaprizov, we've got a timetable yesterday after he got, what did you call it, by Logan Stanley, flattened or thumped or walloped or run over or squished or. Yeah, gosh. Well, because Logan's kind of a big, lumbering, huge. Dopee doke. Gronk.
Starting point is 00:29:41 He got groaned by Logan Stanley. The old whack-a-mole. It's right. Three to four weeks for him. That has him ready to return for postseason. So it feels like, okay, not good news, but certainly worst news is available for the wild. He'll be ready to go for playoffs.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Did it for Ryan O'Reilly. We talked about it earlier in the week. Broken Pinky finger or some sort of finger. He'll be back for playoffs as well. that's now half week since it's a four-week diagnosis, back for playoffs. And how about this guys? Taylor Hall was on LTIR for the Bruins. Sounds like he'll return to practice on Monday, which will have him ready to return to the lineup pretty quickly.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Hall back to a Bruins. Well, you know, you're thinking, geez, the Bruns can't get any better. Well, they got Hall coming out of their third line. In the next week, it looks like. Good news there. Practicing potentially in the next four days. Philip Forsberg, more than day to day. Sounds like he suffered a setback.
Starting point is 00:30:35 That's good news if you're the flames because he's been a monster for Nashville over the years. And Tyler Sagan left last night's massive victory that we'll talk about with a laceration over the knee, Dean, and was spotted in crutches and wrapped up above the knee on his way out of the building. It's not prime vintage Tyler Sagan, but he's also not a small part of that Dallas team. He's had a pretty solid seat. season, maybe not career type stuff, but certainly healthier than he's been.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Yeah, kind of a weird one, he got tangled up along the sideboards with Jordan Greenway. And it was after he hits the ice, and it's almost as, as Greenway goes to skate up the ice, he kind of clips him. Maybe with the back, it's hard to, it's hard to see. But blood on the ice, Sagan rushes off, didn't come back. And then, yeah, the post game reports had him on crutches with a big wrap on his leg. So you hope that he's, that he's all right. The board didn't really have a whole lot after the game, obviously, still very fresh.
Starting point is 00:31:30 So, you know, real life stuff, good luck to Tyler's sake. And hopefully that's nothing too serious. We'll hear more about this as well. The GMs have been pushing for mandatory cutproof under gear, whatever you want to call it. Players are sort of saying, hey, hey, hey, like, we should have our own right to choose. And I understand both sides of that debate. But some of these are easily prevented. I know, you know, the Kevlar type stuff, teams would love to have it mandated.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Players don't like anything mandated because why would you want? them to tell you what to do, right? I get it. So we'll see if this moves the needle on that front at all. Where do you follow it on that, Retro? I think you have to have it on and try it to see what it's like before you want to agree to it. I got to think the league's smart enough to realize that it would be good to have. And if it doesn't slow anyone down or cause any issues, it seems like something that would be easy to implement.
Starting point is 00:32:29 The players like to complain if you tell them what to do. but I don't know if that particularly is going to be a cause. Would this be less intrusive than visors, though? Totally. They made visors mandatory. Exactly. This would seem to be. Remember when Carlson had an common sense?
Starting point is 00:32:46 Achilles sliced? And who was it? It was some evil character, ultimate heel that did it to him. Cook? I don't know if it was Cook. It was someone like Cook, though. You got the skate up. I remember Cachuk clipped.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Downey? Cich. I'm not sure. Chuck clipping Shifley in the series in the bubble. Yeah. That one series. We saw Evander Kane earlier this year, get clipped by Patty Maroon on the arm. Then this one here.
Starting point is 00:33:15 It is, it is miraculous in a way that it doesn't happen more often. Yeah. And you do, you hope it's not one of those things that something catastrophic has to happen or nearly catastrophic before they do it because I'm kind of with you. Matt Cook, Skate Blade. Matt Cook, it was. Okay. There you go.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Sorry, Dino. Yeah, you don't need anything catastrophic to happen. And if they fit and perform the same way as a regular socks and stuff, it's, it seemed ridiculous. Oh, Jesus. Clint Malarchuk, right? Yeah. Yeah. Rough one.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Rough one. Anyway, kind of a downer. Show out. It's Clint. Down notes. The injury report. You good? Right here.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Let's try to take it. Yeah. You done? Oh, depressed after that shit. McLeod. McLeod Law, don't be depressed. Hey, you know what? They love entrepreneurial spirit. If you're starting up something new, get a hold of McLeod Law, whether it's a business, personal, whatever it is. They've got that common goal. Calgary born, Calgary raised, want to do it together with you. They are great Calgarians. McCloudlaw, McLeod-Dashlaw.com there, as you see, is the website. Maybe you'll get to see that dashing gentleman there on your screen, Peter Klein. Maybe he'll just be kicking around. I think there's an event coming up that you might see him at, including his boy Austin, our guy, and a few others.
Starting point is 00:34:40 This is, I missed the big announcements yesterday, Dino, but I'm very excited about the playoff draft. Does it bring your pet to work day, or what are you doing? Yeah, it's bring your rescue dog to work day. You're unsure, hey, what's going on in here? It's like, it's bright, dad. Why is this old man still hanging around here? That's what he's worried about. You need some freedom.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Is that Uncle Boom or is that dad? I wonder. Oh, my boys would be in tears right now. It was balling their eyes out. Well, I'm sure there's a good lesson in there for them somewhere, right? Hey? Yeah, shit happens. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:35:21 That's where it goes. Sometimes you've got to shoot your dog. Is that dog still traumatized? You know what? It took a while. He's okay now. Yeah. He's back to trusting humans.
Starting point is 00:35:37 He's not afraid around stage. cases or males anymore. Oh, dear, Matt. Jesus. It's taken a few years, but he's better. Yeah, when you come back, you stay clear. The all- birth around, uh, Dino's house, Rheth. I don't want you
Starting point is 00:35:50 scaring that dog. Yeah, don't show this to your kids. This will not be good. VillageHonda.com is the website. Village has those detailing packages starting at only 70, 79-95. Protect your vehicle from the harsh elements of winter. Book your details today. Going to warm up next week.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Going to get all slushy and gross. Why don't you book now? Get it in there at village honda.com, your dealership for life. Jesus. It's the Pinder Report. Fellas, it's the ducks, it's the flames,
Starting point is 00:36:21 it's a Friday night game that looked like dog shit when the season's schedule came out and all of a sudden it feels pretty huge. Let's take a peek at the flames lines. Courtesy, Pat, it's the Bears and the Falcons. No, it's Peltje Lindelinda Lindefoli,
Starting point is 00:36:36 your top line, Dino. That, the season. same. Nick Ritchie, take as many ozone penalties as you want, as long as you keep winning, apparently. He stays with Cadre and Ubertoe. Well,
Starting point is 00:36:48 I don't know. Do you not see some Luchich-like traits there, guys, and he kept Luchichette's up for six weeks? I think what it is, it's ridiculous, but it's superstition. And I just, I have a hard time with it.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Former team. It is. One of me. Many. Yes, Dean. Yeah. Wait, is it Toronto, Arizona, which team is tonight? Same third line, same fourth line.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Still no. Guys, who are we missing? Who are we missing? Walker Deer. If they lose tonight. Walker Deer. I don't know that he's hurt. There's some people that aren't happy about this.
Starting point is 00:37:36 It's got to be hurt. If he's not playing and Richie's in. that's look, Richie's the new guy they want to get him a look but he's going to settle somewhere more natural
Starting point is 00:37:46 on the roster for him like you know the press box of the fourth line that's my take at least. Okay so I misinterpreted because my assumption with that trade of the Richies was that it was just a throw in
Starting point is 00:37:59 with the stetcher thing like I this is last call for what was once a great hockey prospect who has all the tools and hasn't put him together. He's playing for his
Starting point is 00:38:12 NHL career. Whether he will show it or such. And he's doing a fine job watching from the penalty box if that's like, he very well could have cost the flames. Both that they're going to make the playoffs for sure anyway. Both of those. But in Dallas,
Starting point is 00:38:28 that penalty alone could have very well cost the flames. Is there any chance to make the playoffs? And then two O's on stick for infractions in Minnesota. It's like driving a red sports car. Police, it's like you stand out more. When you're that big and physical and tough, refs are going to pick on you. You don't get the benefit of the doubt a lot of times
Starting point is 00:38:50 when you're that hulking a figure. Darrell, play it safe. Put that red sports car in the rafters. You can't afford another speeding ticket. It's winter. Yeah, there's a lot of potholes out there. That's right. Losing a rim.
Starting point is 00:39:04 You just need a big ram or, you know, a Honda, truck. Get that walker doer in there. Let's go. Come on. Okay, Ducks lines look like this, fellows. Man, it's been a tough year there, but they still have Trevor's egress and Ryan Strom. And, you know, guys, we think that should be really good, like Jones, McTavish, Terry, Sulfurberg's still there. Okay, I guess. Derek Grant, Forever Flame. How does Maxine Comtow play his way down to the fourth line of this roster? Goodness. Blue line, stick a peek.
Starting point is 00:39:43 It's a little bit of hoot at as, well, Scott Harrington's playing top pair. That's probably not the season to go. Colton White and Nathan Bolia, your third pair. We'll laugh. They might win tonight. It's been a tough go for the flames against bad teams this year. I'm telling you, man.
Starting point is 00:40:03 And you noted the Pike tweet, here's the record since the All-Star break for both clubs. The same. So, yeah, five, six, four. Fifteen games, five wins each. Not much difference there. They're certainly loose. They're not worried about positioning,
Starting point is 00:40:22 or at least moving up in the positioning. They're in the thick of the Bedard battle. Flames did get some help on the out-of-town scoreboard last night. You want to know who everyone's favorite goal in Calgary is right now after Jacob Markstrom and Dustin Wolf? Prosvetov. Prosvetov. 49 saves.
Starting point is 00:40:41 I don't even know his name. I'm trying. The fuck. I mean, I watched it this morning. I said, Presets, Fesf.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Either way, well done. Prosvetov. Special one allows one on what? Was it 39 or 49? He was busy against Nashville. Nashville's got all these games in hand. If you're going to be losing them to Arizona,
Starting point is 00:41:01 God bless you. Look at that. Give him another belt. The Mollett Arena. Yeah. Teams get rattled going in there. Yeah, it's the Mollet flu. It's the ASU flu.
Starting point is 00:41:11 How about that? It's peak of the standings. Nashville drops that game in one of their many games in hand in the West. And yeah, you can see if Winnipeg wants to keep, you know, not being great, the gap could be two points tonight, fellas. And that felt very unrealistic when this team lost to Minnesota just a Saturday ago, less than a week ago. Two points.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Now, that doesn't mean shit, but it's certainly better than being eight out, right? But it doesn't not, doesn't not mean shit. It does mean shit. It's huge. This is. If you could get it to two. They're in. And the jets open a road trip in Florida.
Starting point is 00:41:53 And I know where Florida's at, but you still feel like that's a. Florida, Tampa back to back. Carolina Boston. A formidable vote. Nashville, they are in L.A. tomorrow. Win this thing. Go.
Starting point is 00:42:04 This is, this is huge. Go. It does mean, it does mean shit. There you go. Yeah. Ryan. I'm with you there. I'll change my mind.
Starting point is 00:42:14 That's my take. Remember when the Flyers were defending Chuck Fletcher? They stopped doing that this morning as he was fired. Hmm. Probably easier to not defend Chuck Fletcher than defend him these days. And honestly, why this didn't happen, I don't know, an off season ago, probably the bigger surprise. Daniel Breyer retro. Probably about a year.
Starting point is 00:42:36 We've been talking about the former Sabre. About a year ago. Interim GM. This guy's getting these. There's an old buddy. Hey, call him. Go get some phony baloney assistant job there with torts. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:42:47 World Junior Championships, Danny. What's my name? Danny, my old buddy. You guys are almost best friends. Danny and I have a high level of respect for each other. Well, we give him a call. I'm sure you do. Do you think you could do the show from your assistant GM chair in Philly?
Starting point is 00:43:06 Maybe we make it a weekly? That's not. Do it from anywhere. That's not Rets' role. What? He's a head coach? He's got to be with the show. players he's got to be in the room with the boys go back to the no hockey
Starting point is 00:43:16 questions remember that era yeah okay I could take Walker's title just the correspondent correspondent all right yeah that's right yeah that's right no you know what you could do you could go out and and do your stop asking so many dumb questions these dumb media questions I was in the media I know to deflect if your team's struggling if somebody's having a cold tending isn't quite right and the that Philly media is really starting to come down that's right a tough town yeah get you out there blast anthony fan so filippo or whatever the hell his name is out there tell tell frank he used to talk here the east last guy and who's our boy that we used to have on the old satellite
Starting point is 00:43:59 hot stove he's the same guy he's talking about yeah who is it lucky hall of fame all fam so tired guy better looked like you haven't slept in a week jesus uh you want to see a Bad bobblehead, fellas. This is supposed to be Alex. He's on with the hatchet all the time. Supposed to? Yes, I know he was on with the hatchick. Morganty.
Starting point is 00:44:20 Al Morganty. Al. He's going to do the blustery burglary thing. Sedeen is not Swedish for hook me in front of the net. Right? That was what Red would do. Morganty loves Calgary. Remember wherever you come on all,
Starting point is 00:44:37 I just love the mountains. Every time I go to Calgary, I just love it up there. Everybody asks how great this Calgary is my favorite place to go. There you go. What a pleasant fellow. Ovechkin, bobblehead for passing Gordy Howe, second all time. Zoom in, Alex, if you can.
Starting point is 00:44:51 I don't know that this doesn't look like any other NHL or more than Ovi. And does he have an iconic tooth missing? This feels weird to me. This is your franchise face for a long time. That doesn't look anything like fucking Ovi. That looks nothing like Ovechkin. Thumbs up or down, boys. It really doesn't.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Thumbs up or down for the ball head. Negative. Yeah, no. Okay, that's three thumbs down. Yeah, see you. Got some highlights from last night. Alex Chason is still collecting checks in the NHL. What?
Starting point is 00:45:29 You're not getting... No, he was a forever flame. He almost scored 20 sitting in front of the net with fishing boots on, working with Ovechkin on the power play in Edmonton. He's still kicking around, and here's proof. Check out this dirty, feed in front of Dylan Larkin as the wings rallied last night.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Unless that Steve Chase on coming with. I don't know. Pretty play. What's he doing on the power play in 2023? Steve, I knew what he was doing. Solid the deadline this year. They rallied to be Chicago. Other highlights from last night.
Starting point is 00:46:19 When Rett says to bet the over, Dino, you know what you do? you know what you say? 10-4. Dallas with a throttling of the sabers. Oh, man. This is
Starting point is 00:46:35 first time in 40 years they've hung a 10 spot. Mason Marchmont rounded out the scoring with the 10th of the night. That's a goal every six minutes. That's a big 10-4, right? Holy moly.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Also, Calgary. Savers and deploy. Playoff Hunt really needing wins. 7-1 loss, a loss against the team you're trying to catch, and then a 10-4 loss, not so good. And a Columbus lost that. Remember you said the other day when the flames beat Dallas?
Starting point is 00:47:09 I don't know if you're going to be getting that many pucks past Ottinger. Look at that. Four. Another four behind them. Wow. Maybe Audenger started a little. Dallas round one. Dallas round one.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Anybody. Show of hands. Fuck, anyone in round one. Yes, please. Playoff revenue. Let's go. Calgary and Braden Point having a season, fellas. Is this the quietest 40 goals already this year? Like we're just in the March.
Starting point is 00:47:37 It is. 40? Like we know fucking McDavid and Drysidal and pasta. Tage Thompson. No one's talking about point. And watch the pass off the half all here. This is just absolute filth. Oh, sorry, that's a second. scored twice. His first. Second's the pretty one. Point, man. Calgary boy. Love to see it.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Yeah, but he got benched so he's not that good. Yeah, you know, he's too small. Does a skatewell enough red? He's not going to be a player. His backpack at him for you. Got benched the other day. Can't play. Cory Perry was back into it again last night. He was.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Just right in the middle of the... It's a big tilt. Just can't help himself. Yeah. He can't... Keegan Colissar, I believe. Heasel. Yeah. Schedule tonight in the NHL?
Starting point is 00:48:26 And waits until Bogosian comes in. Yes, that's right. He's flying in, and then he's real tough. Bogo. Perry. Dick. He's better of Richard. I don't mind that Richard on Richard crime.
Starting point is 00:48:36 You had a good point about that DeAngelo Spear. I'd like to see more of those in the game if they are on Corey Perry. If it's no one else, we've got to get that out of the game. But if it's on Corey Perry or Tony DeAngelo by Corey Perry, we need more of that in the game. I don't know how we worked that into the Department of Players. Well, in fairness, maybe it was a five or a 10 gamer, and they reduced it to two because it was Cory Perry, some Richard on Richard crime. Yeah, yeah. Well, it was Cory Perry, so we'll call it two.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Or hopefully the Flyers and Lightning play in three games, and he needed those Richards back head to head so we could see them spearing each other again, right? Oh. Schedule tonight, just a pair of games. All eyes on the flames. Can you take care of business against a very struggling Ducks Club, maybe not short term, But on the season, the other contest, man, is it too late for Florida here? The East standings are absolutely nuts. They're going to need a heater here to get in.
Starting point is 00:49:30 It looks like, well, you should get two points against Chicago, but ask the flame so that goes. I got one out of a possible four. They do of Chicago again, boys. Tuesday, April 4th, at home. Tickets still available. It's funny how they still, the two teams in some way have mirrored each other this year.
Starting point is 00:49:52 year. Now, Kachuk's had a great year. Hubert O has not, but who would have guessed at the start of the year that both of these teams in March would be fighting for their playoff lives. And yet there they are. It's weird. Not to say that the trade didn't work or that they reverse it or anything. I think you could say it didn't work for both teams in a weird way. Right? Yeah. You keep Kachuk, obviously. He's living up to his end of the bargain, but I did not, I did, I just assume Florida was going to be right at the top of that division. tip of the cap to McKenzie Weger as well who has not enjoyed his best year of his career but I think he's looked a lot better next to Rasp with Samson on the top pair. We'll see. Yeah, Rett.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Not a yeah Rett. He has not, I performed to much better Rett. Expectable levels that I've liked them with Anderson of late. Let's go to some non-NHL before we have a random photo of RET show up, fellas, okay? We'll start with the World Baseball Classic. I sent you that lovely catch made
Starting point is 00:50:51 the World Baseball Classic yesterday. This is not a highlight but a reminder that Team Italy they've got the dugout if you need a good espresso. Okay? This is they could see right on the bench in the Team Italy dugout.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Really? I respect that. I have respect for that. I might be jumping forward on Alex too quickly here. Or is it somebody, yeah, you probably are. There is a good little red espresso machine with the little cup. Oh! Yes!
Starting point is 00:51:25 Don't need some drip coffee. Somebody's not somebody's dip cup. Yeah, that would be something to be careful. Somebody's got their dip in. Yeah. That's fair. I like that, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Hey, no free plugs in espresso. Pay up. Seriously. Barn burner. Also, $25 million purse of the players this week. This is a TPC sawgrass. The island's green 17th. It's his biggest purse in golf, I believe.
Starting point is 00:51:49 got a pretty good shot from the island green yesterday that's it yeah i was starting on the left side of that tea box to really give myself a chance to throw it out right of that flag use that slope i'm so sorry for my squeak holy cow buckets for buckley it's got to feel good hey and good squeak don't need to apologize for that that's real i apologize for this squeak too polite She's very excited. That's all in a lot. She wants to see him here. In the front, Christina, got to throw it behind.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Hope you get the spin right and Hayden Buckley. Hayden Buckley, the hole in one. Congratulations. John Rom walked off after being on the practice green this morning. He withdrawing from the tournament, that's big news, is he's apparently ill. Rom's been unbelievable this year. So he's not cycling?
Starting point is 00:53:03 if steroids properly, why is he ill here? These shouldn't be, this is supposed to be ready. This is Friday. You get a dope right. You don't want a blood dope and do that incorrectly. It's very beneficial in the game. Rampant in golf. Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Yeah. Was daily blood doping or? Cut five, six strokes off your game. Easy. Easy. Yeah. Okay. We're going to close out with some.
Starting point is 00:53:30 It's storming so bad here. Oh. Rett. You're having a tough time with Buffalo today. I've got a little memory lane for you. I don't know where this is going to go. But, oh, yeah. Yeah, that looks like winter.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Is there wind out there, too? I don't see anything swinging. You better go get those chicken bones or turkey bones out of your deep freeze and start bubbling bun. Make some buns. Get her going. You're in for the weekend. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:57 It was on this day, I believe, that Dougie Gilmore was sent to the sea. Now, I didn't realize that you guys overlapped in Buffalo, and the reason we know you did is because the news of the day on this day in history, you're in the fucking photo, standing next to him. Look at these good looking chaps, Dino. We got
Starting point is 00:54:16 Gilmore and the Reds, the Redster. Right there. Wow. A couple of alternate captains, right? Jean-Pier Dumont, JP Dumont, and he's got Michael Grossick. Yeah. That's a hell of a trade for Darcy
Starting point is 00:54:32 Regear, right? there I'll tell you. What, where was he in his career? What was left for Gilmore? And how long were your teammates? Because you didn't leave till what, oh, three? It was at the end. And we absolutely, because of me,
Starting point is 00:54:45 missed going to at least the Eastern Conference semifinals. We had a really deep team. We had Dave Vanderchuk, Steve Hines. Hachick was still there. That was the last year of Hachick, I believe. And Dougie was great. There was a weird flu bug that had gone. around that year and Curtis
Starting point is 00:55:05 Brown had got it earlier in the year and had like been sick for a month and then Dougie got it and was the shits in the playoffs literally and figuratively he couldn't get any energy couldn't eat was trying to play hard of the line the best guy ever just didn't
Starting point is 00:55:20 anyway but the piece that was probably the best pickup was Dumont huh one of the best goal scores he was on those Sabres teams he was there from that probably for 10, 11 years, scored a ton of goals. Couldn't skate, but played with Breyer and Drury and Pomeronville in that era.
Starting point is 00:55:43 And they won the, I think they won the presidents the one year. He was awesome, not taking away anything from Dougie, loved him, one of the greatest teammates ever. But the pickup was really Dubon because he was there forever. And Groshek was nothing. Well, that's the thing. I was going to say, Michael Groschick. Yeah, he was big and he was, oh, he's this, if you could just get him to break through,
Starting point is 00:56:08 but he obviously never did. And good recognition there because, yeah, Gilmore, because remember it was in the 93 playoffs when Dougie was with Toronto, like that was when he was vintage at his peak. So this is, this is well after that. But still, now did he go to Montreal after this one, retro? Because he went Montreal, I think it was a Canadian. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:30 All right. So that's our last bit of red. We had a lot of. We had a lot of. Who's the captain there? Pecks? Is that Pecks? No captain, I don't think. Really? Because Pecks didn't come back.
Starting point is 00:56:41 After the 99th, we didn't, he got traded for Connolly and Taylor Piot. He never played again. That would be a deep girl. He held out. Howdy. Howdy Pecka? Yeah. Now, is that it for the Pender...
Starting point is 00:56:53 Stu Barnes might have been the captain, but I don't think that year. We will close the Pender Report with... I don't know how much of a thing this is. If it's this year, it's always been this way. We're going to take you back to the state of Hawkins. where Minnesota high school hockey championships are taking place at the Xcel Energy Center. It's a great tradition you alluded to it yesterday, you know. It's first to go a highlight, and then we'll get into sort of maybe the culture around the starting lineup videos.
Starting point is 00:57:18 So this is the kind of chaos. You have Edina, who's a big powerhouse team, I think it says the three seed there against Moorhead, less than a minute to play, and just look at the chaos that ensues. Again, the draw. In low, des, centers, pockets, loose, bodies flying. Craft. Sends it to the slot. Luce, a score.
Starting point is 00:57:45 This is a brand new hockey game. Well, I can't see it on surprise. It just felt. You just love the energy, right? Like, this is amazing. It's like the max midget on steroids. I love it. And staying with it, we don't need the highlight again.
Starting point is 00:58:05 Let's take a look at some of the, the fellas here as I think everyone's trying to show each other up. We got multiple man buns here if you look closely. This is what we do, the starting lineup flyby. Okay. Let's see what else we're getting for some of the flow the fellas have here. And these guys are, yeah. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:58:23 That's my high school ID. I love it. Wow. That is you. You've got an afro. Keep them coming, Alex. Let's go. Look at the tat of eyeballs.

He's lifted it so you can see how far. Look how far down it goes. Right?
Starting point is 00:59:14 Yeah. And look at this. Shaves the top. This is unbelievable. Wow. Go tea. Shaved cul-de-sac. The boys are loving it.
Starting point is 00:59:28 Yeah. Love it. I think we might have one more. That might be it. Either way. Just great stuff. I feel like. We got to start doing a sneaky sports travel series.
Starting point is 00:59:42 You can go to the Super Bowl and spend five grand on a seat. You can go to Euro or the World Cup. You can go to the Stanley Cup finals. I want to go to take people to a Minnesota high school state hockey game. Like, look at this shit. This is awesome. Anyway, I'm done ranting. That's your Pinda report.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Sure. And before we close, now I'll just put a kind of put a, it's the Pinder report. But when you were talking about bobbleheads, and it's funny, you mentioned, you just mentioned the guy's name. When you said a bobblehead, I thought you were going to go a different way because I know that there is a bobblehead night coming up right away. I didn't know that Oventman was having one, but Brandon Tanev, so you can make a bobblehead that looks like the guy. Yeah. So there's the Tanev with the, what's become kind of him synonymous with those big buggy-eyed press photo at the start of the year. and it does look almost exactly
Starting point is 01:00:38 like him from the photo. You see that, you know exactly which player in the league. There it is, right? Like there's no mistaking who that is. The OV one, I'm like, is that John Scott? I don't know. Look at that.
Starting point is 01:00:51 It's perfect. Jeez. Right? Give that guy a raise. That's the Bollad company you want to do business with right there. Look at that. OV1, not even close.

Starting point is 01:01:42 We found some home video of you. This one, I don't really know how it ties in, but a week ago or so we were talking about how you barbecue or work at the stove, you go without a shirt.
