Starting point is 00:00:11 Kurt's Warner, it's been here. We're all in studio. It's good to see you. Really good to see you. What's the occasion? Beer. He's not wrong. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:22 He's not wrong. Yeah, we are getting ready for the launch, the big launch party tomorrow night out in Strathmore for the Barnburner Blonde with origin brewing. Oh, mama. I'm in the long of the law. Beer, beer, beer, beer. Uh, it sounds like attendance is, uh, is good. You're going to be at capacity. Attendance is mandatory and it's going to be, uh, yeah, a healthy crowd.
Starting point is 00:00:52 It's going to be a healthy crowd. Still room. Still room, I'm, I'm sure there is. Well, I mean, see, here's the thing about our guys. Many of them will have RSVP because they're polite fellows. Yeah. There's also going to be some Lugans that are just going to roll in. True.
Starting point is 00:01:05 So careful. So care. So care. Be careful. Um, yeah, we, Lugans are really our demographic. Do we have that board for the party tomorrow night? Can you throw that up
Starting point is 00:01:19 there? It's got the email on there. Info at origin brewing.ca. R.SvP. Let us know you're coming. It's free of charge. We'll be there. I mean, retro came all the way in. Good God. For beer. The rain, the sleet, and the snow in Southern Ontario to get here. Well, that investigation's going on about that bridge. So you had to Amscray. Get out of touch. But the heat cool off a little.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Okay, you gave everyone the good thumbs up. This bridge is good to use. I have a flight this weekend. Need it open. So we've teamed up as you may or may not know with origin brewing. And they said, you know, we should probably do a beer for you guys. We said, I don't know how that works. Is that how that works?
Starting point is 00:02:01 I started crying. It was emotional. Yeah. Yeah. Pinder went into the fetal position. We said, we don't know what we're doing. And they said, don't worry. We'll handle everything.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Yeah. So coming up tomorrow out in Strathmore, Origin Brewing Tap Room. There you see. It's Spruce Drive. It's right off the trans Canada. Yeah. That's one. South.
Starting point is 00:02:19 South off the T-Can. And seven o'clock-ish, you know, how we are with starting on time. We're real sticklers for it. Well, Rhett's a hockey player. And it's like if you're five minutes early or ten minutes late. That's what it is. Yeah. So RSVP at info at origin brewing.com.
Starting point is 00:02:36 To try for the very first time. You can brag to your friends. I had it first. That's what you'll say. Yeah, you'll be able to purchase. Merchandise will be there. Of course,
Starting point is 00:02:48 the origin guys, look at you. You're decked right out in origin gear. They just need to give me one of those Rob Ray-sized mascot heads and I can just work there and drink the beer. Get you flipping those out of the TransCanada, flipping one of those signs.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Yeah, that's right. Could you do that? Like dancing, spinning the sign. Spin them around. So yeah, that's coming up tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:03:07 On the trans signs on the trans. No, you haven't. Come on. Well, I'm not a spinning side. My Daisy Dukes. Wow, you were hitchhike. You had the sign. Yeah, yeah, I had the sign. Did you shave your likes for that?
Starting point is 00:03:19 No. Not committed to it. Probably not a lot of bites before that big bus showed up. I ran out. Not committed to it. The lady started waxing and she got halfway up the calf and they ran out of the whole hour. That's a big work. While we're flinging gear, go to nationgear.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Last week, what, Thursday, we launched the new blackout collection with Flames Nation. Flames Nation blackout gear. Yeah. I mean, everybody did. So did the other guys. Whatever. But the Flames Nation blackout collection is now available at nationgear.ca for a limited time, for a limited time, hats and shirts and hoodies. I think there's some zip up stuff in there as well.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Looks good. The gear is, the gear is good. Yeah. And we, again, unrelated but related. yes we are buffoons for not having barn burner gear ready for Christmas I know we'll have stuff in the new year I believe you have a very special designer working on the fire he's very excited about it I did she she yeah yeah two in the same family how is that amazing yeah the ideas you two must have it's up uh we'll talk to Sarah Valley coming up in 15 minutes or so okay but frank's very busy
Starting point is 00:04:34 today Frank I don't know if I care to talk to Frank today you don't want to talk to Frank today you don't I want to talk to him? You haven't paid that bottle. Eagles and arrogance. I know. Oh, God. So he said, I can only do about 15 because I got to run somebody to the airport. So I can do 15 today or we could do like tomorrow or later this week.
Starting point is 00:04:49 The whole thing. I said, no, 15's enough. We'll do it. Did you get to see the game? Because you traveled yesterday. No, I saw. I saw the second quarter because I got to the airport and got into a lounge and watch the second quarter.
Starting point is 00:05:01 So my takeaways were the bills can play with anyone this league and the bills are still the bills. And we'll shoot themselves in the feet. themselves rather than get beaten by other people. It's wild how you could feel both ways about this team like that. They're phenomenal. You're not going to beat us. We'll beat ourselves. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:18 And anything. Like you needed to kick a 59-yarder in the rain to beat the bills and get some help. And they did that. And the bills turn over the ball. Like it's just wild that if they play well, they absolutely can win a Super Bowl. But at the same time, like, how are you six and six? How? So many.
Starting point is 00:05:37 unforced errors and dropped passes. A lot of drop balls in the second. I was going to say for once, it feels like you come away with, you're not hating your quarterback. You're not hanging it on him. The defense has been beat up injury-wise, and they've actually done a decent job.
Starting point is 00:05:56 And finally, like I got off the plane, I looked at everything. I'm like, how do you score that many? And then, well, finally, the D didn't hold up, right? The offense showed up to do what they can do, but the D couldn't handle it. But the Eagles are a good team. The best.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Like, is there a team better than the Eagles? I don't think there is. Everyone crushes them for winning ugly. And I think that makes them even more dangerous. Eagles, you're saying? Yeah. Oh, it's, yeah. It's always close games and it's, oh, I need it over time to do it and this and that's,
Starting point is 00:06:25 are they winning? They're winning every frigging game. You know who's not good in close games that we saw last night? The Chargers are now 0 and 6 in games within a field goal or one score games. I guess they're on 5 because they ended up getting blown out last night. they are like billsier than the bills they're chargersie i was going to say we saw it yesterday your team in the afternoon and then your team in the sunday-nighter yeah yeah it's just like you had what you absolutely played well enough to be no if you didn't turn over the ball four times what are
Starting point is 00:06:51 doing here and some shitty missed my new team tonight so that's exciting boy we know how to pick them yeah do we ever know how to pick them at least jack's team got a double you real pretty win too yeah real pretty did they get over 10 points this week yeah just wow sneaked over 10 points. 400 yards of offense. First time in the post-Canada. They had 400 yards of offense. Yeah, they did.
Starting point is 00:07:14 And only had 16 points. They, uh, it's progress, guys. They outgained their opponent? Yes. First time by like 200 yards. First time all year. And you missed Matt Kenna? First time in like years.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Good bragging. Let's talk some hockey. Yeah. Hey. Should we? Let's talk hockey. Hey. Flames in Vegas tonight, 730 at the dome.
Starting point is 00:07:36 the start of a sixth game homestand, longest homestown of the season. Get your helmet on. It's a game day. Get your helmet on. It's a game day. Flames. Would love a win. They'd love one. Sure. Who wouldn't? Yeah. They would love a win. Even San Jose was trying to be bad. They'd love a win right now. Yeah. Yeah. And I think also Vegas, they too would love a win. So both teams looking for a victory tonight. They might not even be as thrilled as the flames if they did win. They probably against another day, they're overlooking the flames.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Plains together Monday night. Ready here first. Let me tell you Bill Vegas. Yeah, I got some dead on Vegas too. I can tell Bill Vegas. Yeah. Started the year, 7 and 0. Roaring out of the gate.
Starting point is 00:08:23 12.0 and 1 in their first 13. Damn. Is this team ever going to lose in regulation? I don't think so. Well, you'd have been wrong. Because right after that game, they lost. They've gone 3, 5, and 1 since that incredible start. So at the end of the end of the game,
Starting point is 00:08:37 of the streak, they lost the next. That's right. Yeah. Okay. So as soon they would, 12.01 and 1 their 13. So it's hard to maintain the Stanley Cup momentum for 82 games? Yeah. I guess. Yeah. So it's oddly enough in the last stretch of games because the flames have played better and now Vegas has come back down to Earth. Their records kind of similar in the last eight to ten games. Are they sitting ducks?
Starting point is 00:09:01 I don't think so. You know what? They're sitting first in the division. They sure are. What is their schedule? Sorry. Where have they been? Where are they going? Yeah. That's one thing. The other thing is first in the division is rather precarious. LA is a better points percentage, one point back game in hand. Where have you been and where are you going?
Starting point is 00:09:17 Where have you been? Where have you been and where are you going? Honest to God, where are you going? Honest to God. Are you looking? Yeah, I'm just playing. Because Monday and Calgary end of November is not a hot spot for. Better than an early is.
Starting point is 00:09:34 This is their first game of the road swing. They will be in Edmonton tomorrow. second of a back to back. They're thinking about the oilers. Yeah, they're already looking past. They're going past. You know what? No goalie tonight.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Six skaters. Odd technique. Yeah. And then Vancouver on Thursday to wrap a Western Canadian swing. Yeah. They're definitely focused on the Savon. And then they got the Stanley Cup rematch this Saturday at home as they welcome back to Capitals.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Remember that from 2018? Not really. Yeah, you do. OV1 and they partied in fountains forever. It's hard to remember. They've been to so many fun. Yeah. They've been to so many finals.
Starting point is 00:10:09 They've been to two more finals than McDavid has. That is weird. David's been in the league a lot longer than them. He's good at it. He's good at it. So what do we, what do we, you go back to the Colorado game,
Starting point is 00:10:22 a loss. Yeah. But the final two periods you had to like if you were a flames fan, if you got a save or two. Now, the other thing is like, do you fast forward to the power plays or do you just turn your eyes away?
Starting point is 00:10:35 What do you do? What's your technique? I think you're allowed to ignore them. That could end up being the difference between success and failure. No, I know the flame shouldn't be, but when you're watching, do you avert your eyes? Or do you, like, put on really strong, two sets of sunglasses just so you're not affected? You know me, Pinder. I love popcorn.
Starting point is 00:10:53 I have to have time to make popcorn. So a power play is popcorn making time? It's a word that I use occasionally, and I think it's fitting. Goosh. Yeah. It is a full-blown goosh situation. situation. We got a code red goose.
Starting point is 00:11:11 It's a code red gouche. The last three games, O for 11, they had one shot on four power plays against Colorado. I was tweeting it on Saturday night. No shots on that power play for the flames is now a new
Starting point is 00:11:27 square on the bingo card. Seven minutes, 22 seconds of power play time, man advantage time. They got one shot. And I put up a, you know, Darren Haynes. He loves going in. Haynes has got the math. Darren Hanzee. 80 stats from 80 feet.
Starting point is 00:11:41 He should be here with us. Shit, does he want to work Saturday? Haynesie, do you want to do some stuff? At 1712 of the first period on October 16th in Washington, Dylan Dubay scored on the power play. Remember that goal? Yeah. In 18 plus, in 18 games since,
Starting point is 00:11:56 and specifically at 5 on 4, the flames are a net zero for 60. Yeah. Four power play goals for, four shorties against. Imagine playing a game and a half with a one man advantage and still being tied yikes yeah i'm going to just retreat that right now that is wow that's a haines bomb right there it is a haines bomb oh october 16 that again long as time ago red it's a month and a half that was real early in the season fellas real early real early they had a great
Starting point is 00:12:29 first period in washington i remember that yeah they did the shots were like it was a darrell start it was like shots are 20 to one because we kept going back to that one for reference because then that slide began. Well, and he makes a good point about the five on fours because they did get, they didn't do anything on the five on three in Columbus. They do score on one of two five on threes in Edmonton. Like it's the power play numbers are bad. They're even kind of inflated when you think about a five on four because they've made,
Starting point is 00:12:54 they've had a bunch of five and threes more than you normally do. I don't know, because I know the guys, uh, we had Ryan Pike and Julian, McKenzie on after Burger. Julian's got his drink.
Starting point is 00:13:09 He's all fired up. He's walking around following Julian. Randy's got no shirt on Raymond cheeseburgers in there. Okay. All right. Continue.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Julian. He gets like, you were saying. It's one of those things. It's like, yeah, it's like an abusive relationship. All he needs to do to win me back is do his bubbles.
Starting point is 00:13:32 And I'm like, oh, you stinker. You try. Um, she anyway, uh, Julian was saying that he had, he was talking with Savard. And Savard at the start of the year, this, of course, Mark Savard runs a power play. So we should be a top five power play. Oh. Again, never talk to the media.
Starting point is 00:13:50 That's the kind of quote that'll get you fired. The power play as it sits coming into tonight league wide 11.8% 27th, which makes you set how many teams in the league and who's possibly worse? How are you? How are you eight? Well, 68. We're going to guess the sharks for. Sure. The caps have been miserable. Caps are terrible.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Like, I think they're like 7%. Something like half of the flames are a few days ago. And then I'll look up the other three that would be worse than the flames. But it's not good company. Which, again, it might make you feel better. And how many of those teams have? Yeah, not as many, I would guess. Like, let's go straight five on four.
Starting point is 00:14:26 This is you really asking me to grind now. But again. Hainesie would be. I know, but Hainesie isn't doing a live goddamn show. Where's Hanzi? Bottom in the league, Washington Capital, 6%. Chicago 9.7. What did you just say?
Starting point is 00:14:38 6%. 6% with Ovi. And John Carlson. I know. I told it was bad. I can't even wrap my head around that. They have one power play goal on the road. Two at home.
Starting point is 00:14:51 That's their whole season. Say your word again. Goosh. Yeah. Now the good news for them, good news for them, they haven't allowed a shorty. So they're up four on the flames in that department.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Chicago's second last, St. Louis third. Philly torts. Fourth from the bottom. And Columbus. Johnny Hackies and company worse than the flames by a percentage and a half. Could you get line ain't cheap right now?
Starting point is 00:15:13 Do you want line ain't cheap right now? His salary ain't cheap? You just, yeah, I mean, it's been four or five years of thinking this was the by-low moment for Linae. Hasn't it been? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, this guy's going to score 61 years.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Like, can he still score a 30? He's a little burpuk. Yeah, it's good. Yeah, it's definite, definitely, definitely gauche. Five on five, the flames have 40, three goals. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Which is actually more than the Vegas Golden Knights have five on five. They're not a big high-power offense. You know what? Because I just, I just looked at it briefly. They don't have a 10-goal score, much like the Flames. Coleman scores the other night.
Starting point is 00:15:51 He's now leading the team with six. It's scoring by committee. They got a whole raft of guys with three, four, five goals, but no one's really run away with it. Five on three. Flames have one, five-on-three goal. No. Is that right? That's what it says in the game.
Starting point is 00:16:09 It was in Evanston then. That was the one. No, but your thing is when they would have the five on threes and not get, you know, right, the opportunities and no goals. Yeah. And then we would come on here and rip them. I don't know. We talk with this all the time and then you, you make the joke that you, of course, were always on the big on the power play.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Yeah. I don't know how you coach it. I don't know what you do. It's so situational and it's, it is situational, but it's also a talent thing. it does it's both how much skill you have in the ice let's stop let's stop and let's be scientific about this because that's what we are go to the top five teams yeah it's okay well do you know like i'm i'm guessing okay i'm guessing well i'm not even guessing i'm curious is it a bunch of guys with high end skill jersey high end skill jack hughes dougie hamilton like deep team
Starting point is 00:16:57 offensive tofolia finisher so my point sorry man i'll keep going it's going to help your point Tampa's number two. Cooch, Stamcoast, Point, Headman, Rangers number three, Panera, and Crider, Fox, I mean, stars all over. Zabana Jad. Canucks at four, they're on a heater, and their star players have been great. Their skill players have been unreal this year,
Starting point is 00:17:17 including J.T. Miller, not just, you know, Besser, Pedersen, and then five is Toronto, who it's like, yeah, they can shoot the lights out. New Jersey may be surprised me. I don't, I think it's only because we underappreciate what they do. I think they're super high skills. I think if we watched them more, you'd be like, oh, okay, I get it. But all those other ones make perfect sense. Totally.
Starting point is 00:17:36 And Evanton's six, and they've had a down year, and they're only clicking at 25.5%. And so, but back to what we were talking about, it has nothing to do with how Savard can coach it. It's about who's making plays. Yeah. Well, I mean, and I think it's both. If Savard sees the personnel and has asked about his power play, you don't say you have a top five unit. If you don't think you could do some things with those pieces, but those pieces need to be better, no question. You don't have a power play defenseman.
Starting point is 00:18:01 No, I think Rasmus is your closest to a power play guy, and he's probably a power play two on most teams. He's a perfect power play quarterback. And Hanefin out there drives me insane, like, great player. That's not his skill set. No, but they're just reaching. They're trying. And they're trying everything. And your high-end skill guy is supposed to be hubert over it.
Starting point is 00:18:18 You can't trust him to carry the puck and lug it in make a play. And he's turning over the puck like crazy. Your best finish is Coronado. He's in the A. Like, I get the personnel's not great, but I don't know that I know that Mark Savard would have. a middle of the pack team in the top 10. Is he good, great average or below average coaching the power pole? I have no idea. I don't know how to measure
Starting point is 00:18:37 this stuff. Yeah, I don't either. That's a tough one. I just wouldn't put a whole lot of it on marks of ours. No, I don't either. Because you don't go into a power play looking to score ugly goals. Wow, but you might now. Why not? You know, I just be, but on the power play, you generally have
Starting point is 00:18:55 time and space and you try and make high skilled plays. And they're not equipped for that. No. You got a skilled player that has a little a little more time and space. It can make someone chase them or do something with the puck or take advantage of that extra time. So the flames are past the one quarter pole. They played 21 games now. So after the first period, ish, would be about the one quarter poll.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Their highest school score has six. Let's be friendly on let them times that by four. You got one player who's on pace for 24 goals. We talked about the issues of this club. Weemer brought it up this summer. Like, who's going to score the goals? It's like, well, it's going to be by committee. And it kind of is by committee, but where, you especially,
Starting point is 00:19:31 you can't do things on committee is the power play. That's where you need high skill finishers. And by committee, 18 goals by committee. Like, you have to have a lot of 18 goals. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:19:43 You need a lot of guys in 15 and 20. So with that group then, why would Washington and even Columbus, say what you want about Line A, but Line A, Goddrow, that's better than any skill they've got here. Werensky's back. He's, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Right? And then in Washington, you've got one of the best shooters ever. But Baxter Lachshy. Backstrom left. they went through backst. And we watched OV the other day. I think Washington's come a long way. Like I thought they were horses.
Starting point is 00:20:07 They're not a heater until they lost. They looked good lately, except for the power blade. He don't get there. We watched him. And I'm not going to watch him again because it's not worth it. He doesn't need to change with the power play. He just stands still at that.
Starting point is 00:20:18 But I don't even think he, like, I think he's, I said it when they played him. I said, is he becoming a detriment to that team? And he is because you're not taking him off that power play. And it's clicking at 6%.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Clearly there, you think they, they've changed their approach to the powerplay. No, the only difference would be that backstrom's maybe not feeding them as much. Baxham's done. Whoever it is, the whole power play still fake it on the one side and try and slide it across Rovi for the shot. And it ain't happening. Totally.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Yeah. And look, there's every team's got three or four really skilled good players. So someone has to be in the bottom 10, but to click at 6%, that's revolting. Like that's just like unheard of numbers. You could theoretically get an HL. group to come up and do better than 6% if they're well versed and where to put the puck. I'm just trying to think is there any, it's got to get better, right? No, because there's a team one, there's going to be a team at the bottom and a team at the
Starting point is 00:21:15 top. I just be percentage wise, I don't think you would have had, there's six teams under 12% right now. I doubt last year there was 60, there was even one team under 12% for the season. So it's one of those like over larger samples, things normalize some bad luck becomes good puck luck, but they still. co-tending cools off a bit, but someone, yes, we'll have to finish 28 through 30 seconds. Yeah, I was going to say, you'd think maybe it gets better, but I think it feels sure safe right now to say you're looking at a bottom third of the league. Oh, third for sure. Yeah. Now, last year, they did have to Foley. They finished at 19.8%. That was 19th in the league.
Starting point is 00:21:51 It still holds true. It's got to add up to 100. Yeah. Yeah. It really does. Penal kills pulled off. It has helped for sure. Yeah. Last year, the worst power play. in the league was 15.6%. So every team we just mentioned, odds are they'll be much better than they've been. 6%. Is that what the big climb? Jesus. Yeah. So in the final 60 games,
Starting point is 00:22:12 they'll probably do some more school tending to look at and some better finishing on their end. Who the hell's running that power play? Is it, uh, there's a job. Mitch Love? I hope not. For his sake. And how they were the hottest team in the NHL until they lost last week. Mitch and, hey, at Phillips. Come on, home, boys. Well, nobody's talking about Phillips.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Come on home. We got Zari. Come on, come on. What if you still had him? Throw him in that. How do you know? He may not be good. He made his choice.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Get the hell out of here. Oh, dear. Or put him on waivers and we'll take him for free. Let's go on waivers. What's he got for points? I think you have to the one goal is still the Calgary game, but I will put it out. It's the Calgary thing. Are there any X-rigging flames in Vegas tonight?
Starting point is 00:22:55 I was looking at it. I don't see any. Does anyone remember Paul Cotter is a flame? I don't. He's to cut. Yeah. No. They almost got stone in trade or did they? Well, they had a stone. They had the better one. That's true. The better stone.
Starting point is 00:23:09 The one stone shoots it way harder than the other. You want to get a shooter. So, Frank and a, what was that looking up again? Phillips, Matt Phillips points. The Nickty Simone sent down to the Wranglers and because of Pospisle's game, and we kind of, I think we talked to what it late last week. But Pospisle plays obviously on the weekend, plays. the Dallas game. That's his 10th. He will now need waivers if he goes down. He's not going anywhere. But it doesn't feel like
Starting point is 00:23:35 you weren't, you weren't going to, so I don't know, because D. Simone does go down. It's prior to that 10 game thing. So they still maybe that's what it is. I'm not sure. I think it feels like it. They're at home if they. Simone, I mean, he's been good but not. He was ninth on their depth chart when you started the year and he came in
Starting point is 00:23:52 and performed well as a six for a couple weeks. Tip your cap, send him back to the A and don't lose the asset for nothing. How old is? 25, probably. Oh, he's older than that, actually. The only reason I bring it up is because they were both kind of on that same track, and one went down and the other one stayed up. Yeah, but one was making an absolute statement almost every game.
Starting point is 00:24:11 The other one was just doing okay. And he continues, even though the points had, you came in and he was scoring a point per game there, and even with Zeri, but both of those guys, they're doing what makes them successful. I still want them in the lineup every night. 100%. And I want him with cadre, too, because he's been great.
Starting point is 00:24:27 I want the way to make a bunch of trades. Let's go. Yeah, Connie. Give us some Christmas. Give us a Christmas trade. Some Christmas content. Come on, Connie. When's the trade freeze for the holidays?
Starting point is 00:24:37 Yeah, we don't have that yet. Shit. Get, uh, by the way, one goal, three helpers for Phillips. That's four points in 14 games. Not setting the world on fire.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Uh, same number of points as Nick D. Simone, by the way. Uh, same in totals as Walker Deer. Poor Walker doer. Tough year. Damn.
Starting point is 00:24:55 So far. Not poor Walker Duer. He went and got married. It's his own damn. Oh, did he get married? Is that what he did? He did. He did.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Damn it. You're thinking. Fellas. He saw the deals in Viena Nova and thought, I got to do this. You didn't have to do it. See, it's the lab grown diamonds. He's just like this deal.
Starting point is 00:25:11 I got to get this deal. 80% off regular pricing. Are you kidding me? All right. Listen, if you're not a flame, Vena Nova, lab grown diamonds. All right? But if you're one of these young bucks on the flames and you're,
Starting point is 00:25:23 don't even. Don't even think about it. Don't. I mean, I know it's enticing. It's, what? 75, 80%? Then what I get it. I thought you said it.
Starting point is 00:25:34 The gemologist sometimes can't even tell that. Well, they can't tell the fucking difference. But still, focus on the power play for Christ's sake. Venanova.com, lab grown diamonds. Justin, we've been, you know, we've been trading emails back and forth. He's texting. He's pumped. He's ready. He's busy.

Starting point is 00:27:20 Oh, look at him there. He looks drier than I saw. I saw a little bit of the wet. rat situation going on last night. He was, I'm not putting these on. I don't want to hear him. He doesn't want to hear anything.
Starting point is 00:27:32 He doesn't want to hear anything. He doesn't clear's that dead. He doesn't want to look you in the eyes, Frank. Weird. Hello, Frankie boy. How was, yeah,
Starting point is 00:27:37 he doesn't want to hear me talk trash about the bills either. That was the big, they did good. Don't talk trash about the poor bills. They did good. They blew two different 10 point leads in the second half. That's good. They got 10 point leads.
Starting point is 00:27:49 They're the best team in football. That's the bills. Come on. So, so I brought young Tyler, your M-chuck to the game. He came out from Edmonton, gave him a first-class experience,
Starting point is 00:28:01 got him some field passes before the games or down there. It's spitting on us. It's pissing rain. Anyway, we just, we had quite a few cocktails between the tailgate. And we got to halftime,
Starting point is 00:28:14 and he goes, man, the bills are so back, baby. I was like, never seen that at the half. No, they're not. That's like the wave in the third period. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:28:24 Yeah, yeah, yeah. One goal game doing the wave. Yeah. You're asking for it. So you have that kind of sway in Philadelphia to get some, yeah, some jabroney field passes. Wow. Field passes, tunnel club passes. It was unreal.
Starting point is 00:28:39 We had a day. Wow. You're looking pretty good for a guy that a tunnel club passes yesterday. If I'd went. Not that kind of tunnel, buddy. If I'd have went and I'd have wore Bill's garb, would I've got beat the piss out of me? No, he, he wore. a Bill's Garb?
Starting point is 00:28:56 And honestly, who's going to, who's going to beat the piss out of you? Oh, I'm weak chin. Bad shoulders. Bad shoulders. Bad shoulders. Bad job. Yeah. Wongy ankle.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Yeah. Missing wallet, apparently. I'd throw you in front of them or in front of me. Let you. Yeah. Some meat shields. My security here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:16 I'm a large side of beef. Yeah. So what do you want to talk about? I know we've got you for a short amount of time because you got to take that freeloader to the airport. Oh, my God. Dude, I need to dry out for a few days. It was like, I'd never seen anyone drink so fast.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Yeah, he's a... Really? Anyone? I think we made three separate trips to the liquor store for a five-day trip. That's just bad planning then. I was going to say... I mean, I just, I was like, I haven't drank like this in forever. So my wife said I was snoring so bad and talking to myself in my sleep last night. I was like, that's how you know I had a lot.
Starting point is 00:29:53 You know what's a stupid stupid stuff? Oh, boy. Pennsylvania? Yes. Well, you know, they allow shipments of booze. So if you want to pay your debt, you can do that. Well, we'll get you that.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Don't worry about that. Don't worry about that. It's only been a year and a half. Don't worry about that. I got the interest going on it. I got them on top of it. It's all good. Are you going to Jasper?
Starting point is 00:30:16 Are you going to dodge it there too? We are in Phoenix before, and we may have something in the week after, so I feel like Jasper's going to be tougher for Rhett as his person. personal assistant. But are you guys going to Jasper? Oh, God, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:29 You kidding me? No, I'm not going. What? I got something. I got Phoenix the week before and then I got something the week after. No, no, you're not really, you live in Calgary. I don't give a shit. I got stuff on the go.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Remember we got boom out to the rager that we had that first night there? And it was like, you could tell at some point he was like, oh, geez, 947. I ought to be in bed now. I just had a birthday. I'm too old for all that Tomfool. Pinders over there doing like head high kid. and he's doing his typical Pinder DJ bullshit and then someone's got it.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Yeah, well, you know what? There's two things. There's the crowd fatigue and there's Pinder fatigue. One's stronger than the other. Yeah. You can only keep up with them for so long. You can't. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:14 That was not a vacation. I mean, what do we want to talk about. I know what I want to ask you about, but I don't want to do that because it's never good when the guest comes up with his own questions. Fire away. I don't know if you're going to want me to ask.
Starting point is 00:31:27 You guys new here or what? Just ask. I know what he's going to ask. What the fuck's going on with Cory Perry? Good question. Look, we don't know a lot. I dug in on this over the weekend and heard a number of competing
Starting point is 00:31:44 different stories, not enough to nail anything down. But what is really clear is this is some kind of disciplinary action by the Chicago Black Hawk. when you say that he's going to be away from the team for the foreseeable future, and you are in a spot where he then issues his own release through his agent saying he's taking time away for personal reasons.
Starting point is 00:32:09 The truth is the Blackhawks have taken the step to have him be away from the team. So I don't know what the end game is here. I don't know what this looks like or where it's going. But those two things, just so we're clear, like they can live in their own. concentric circles. Like you can be taking some time away for personal reasons and you can also be told to stay away at the same time. So it doesn't look pretty, but I don't even know enough to speculate of what this might be.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Is it a missing curfew thing? Is it a, is alcohol involved? Is there more than that? I don't, I really don't know. Because it's one of those things. It's just more curiosity. Because it's been so respectful, right? If it's a personal thing, if it's something, then we don't need to pry, but it's gone on for long enough now.
Starting point is 00:33:00 It's a disciplinary issue. It now comes back to, okay, well, what the hell? What is happening? Yeah, so I think there's attorneys involved. I think there's a franchise that has been through a lot in the last number of years and wants to make sure that they're taking all the right steps. I think there's a really proud player who's at a long career that I think they like having around. that again, I don't know what happened here, but it doesn't sound too pretty.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Taylor Hall is out, out, right? And now this, like, what's left for Connor Bedard and this maiden season to work with in terms of that veteran insulation they tried? I know Felino's there, but, like, they did it. I thought a pretty decent job of putting some pieces around to take some pressure off him, yeah. And that's gone.
Starting point is 00:33:47 And Taylor Hall was a big part of that, started the season on his line. you had Corey Perry there who seemed to be playing some really good hockey, if not having quite the point production that he wanted. And now that support system has eroded. The good news is it seems like Connor Bardard is able to do a lot on his own, 17 points and 18 games to start. And I don't feel as crazy as I did in the first week of the season
Starting point is 00:34:17 or second week when I said 100 points. I don't think he's going to end up too. far from that number. Yeah. Hey, look, he looks like a point for game player. And that's with who is his winger? Like Tyler Johnson. And that says a legit 18 year old that couldn't even sign his contract in July because he wasn't old enough yet.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Yeah. I want to move to the wild. You had a great chat with Bill Garron on your frankly speaking podcast that I thoroughly enjoyed. My first takeaway was I really need to drink beers with Bill Garin. And the second one is they're in a bit of a hole here. They came home from Sweden and lost again. they're not where we thought they'd be in the standings.
Starting point is 00:34:52 What's real and what's a bad run of luck and injuries? So I've drank beers with Bill Guerin, and it is an experience, and I highly recommend it. Second, it's been a really odd start to their year, and you'd listen to that pod and you'd think, okay, it's really clear that Bill Guerrins likes and thinks Dean Everson is a good coach. And then you read the headline today in the athletic from Mike. Russell, who's as plugged in as anyone with any team, and he says that the seat, the hot seat
Starting point is 00:35:26 for Dean Everson is boiling. And it doesn't seem like that's the move they want to make. Bill Garron also acknowledged that he isn't going to be able to trade his way out of the mess that the Wilder in. But I personally look at this team and I say 65% penalty killing. They're sloppy in their own end and their goaltenders obviously have. and help them out. And that's a chicken and the egg problem.
Starting point is 00:35:53 But I look at this team and I say 200 point seasons, man, the door is wide open for them to get back into the race with how mushy this Central and Pacific Division wildcard race is. It's brutal to watch. Like it's a pillow fight. And the flames are right back in the mix. It's wide open for Minnesota, Edmonton, Calgary, whoever it might be to get their stuff together and go on a run.
Starting point is 00:36:19 It's interesting there too with the wild. I think they were probably relying on their young guys to come through for the Matt Boldie, I think is a stud, will be a stud. One goal to start the season. Brock Faber on the back end, he's been all right. Roasting, they're waiting for still to pop. What happened to Caprizzoff? I mean, this guy was a hard trophy guy two years ago.
Starting point is 00:36:40 And I, you know, thought he'd be like a rocket ship taking off. And he's, you know, he goes 40 goals to enter the year as the league as a rookie, 47 the next year, last year on a shortened year with injuries, 49 goal pace. And this year he's out of the gate on track for 27. I mean, that's not going to work. Yeah. Do you have to go?
Starting point is 00:37:03 Soon. Tyler's taking a shower, so I think you've got a few minutes. All right. You're not in there? Those are pillows. Jersey, they're 500. There's two teams worse than these. That's it.
Starting point is 00:37:14 What's happened there? Like, I know they missed Hughes for a bit, but why isn't it working? Like, we looked at their power plays. the best in the league. What the hell's happening? Hughes and Heeshire, you take those two guys out of your lineup. They're two best centers for three week stretch. Of course,
Starting point is 00:37:28 they're going to be no good. Heeshire returns to the lineup over the weekend and they bludgeoned the Sabres. And the Sabres had 12 shots on goal in that game. Twelve. Hey, Frank, why do you hate everything, Buffalo? Like, what are you doing here? Just because right? I like Buffalo, actually. We went to
Starting point is 00:37:45 Buffalo last year for a tournament. My kid asked if he could move there. I said, no, but I can leave you at the Warrner house. What was it that had him so enamored? He loves the cold, so he's sick and demented already. And we played a tournament at the outdoor rink there. He thought it was the coolest thing that you can go play hockey outside. And like he just wants to come home from school every day and go do that.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Fuck, leave him in Jasper. Is there no outdoor ace in Philly? It's not cold enough. We get like, you need a sustained run 10, 12. days of sub-freezing temperatures and we just don't we might get one and then the next day it's 14 degrees Celsius and you're like well this isn't going to work yeah he told us jasper what that's the first time you played an outdoor hockey tournament yeah that and being how fat i am it made for really uh sweaty it was entertaining the sweat froze it was cold it was cold but it was also
Starting point is 00:38:46 the ice was very uneven at times so i wasn't used to that. It's not familiar. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I saw someone on Twitter referencing the 2020 draft that his patience paying off with the Rangers and Alex Lefrenier and Byfield looks like he's going to be a stud. Stutzler arrived early and now Lucas Raymond, I think, he's almost at 50 goals and Jake Sanderson, Jamie Drysdale, those guys look like young studs. You go down a little bit further. Cole Perfetti's been very good. They expect Jack Quinn to be good in Buffalo. It looks like that. with so much unknown going into that 20-20 draft, the team still made out all right,
Starting point is 00:39:24 at least in chunks of the first round. They, yeah, I mean, it's taken some patience. I'm still not, I have big questions about what's the ceiling for Lafranier. And, you know, I think we've finally seen glimpses this year of Byfield, but this is a guy who had really struggled to put it together the last few years and kind of,
Starting point is 00:39:46 I was going into this season saying, this is kind of it. Like if you can't be a full-fledged producing NHL player at this point with some of the rope that he's gotten might be in trouble. But then you look at some of the underlying analytics. And they're not even analytics, just stats. Like the,
Starting point is 00:40:05 the NHL has that new system where you can look up and see how fast guys skate. And you're like, wait, Bifield is this big. And he's one of the league leaders and sustained speedbursts had that size like i don't care what if he couldn't score into the ocean or couldn't score it a brothel with a hundred bucks hanging out of his shirt i'd still want that guy on my team to give him some runway and a chance to put it all together and it seems like he's doing it is it too much to expect i think the young guys are all super skilled they're awesome and you got guys like badard
Starting point is 00:40:38 they come in and and other guys that come in and play really really good but we also not jump to conclusions, but if they haven't had success by 21, 22, like lots of times we're thinking we're going to close the door on them. 15, 20 years ago, that was when they grew into what they were. Are we getting ahead of ourselves a little bit just because some of the kids can jump in and play with that without losing a beat? Well, think about it from this perspective. If you're drafted at 18 and you haven't really done it by 22,
Starting point is 00:41:13 or 23, you're probably already on to your second GM. Yeah. And then you're someone else's problem. And they're just looking to move on and cash in as much as they can for you before, you know, the clock runs out and everyone knows what you are. So I think that part of it, I also think the instant impact that some of these guys make, like Stutzla right into the league and is, he's a superstar now. He's that good.
Starting point is 00:41:41 So when you see some of the other guys in the same class and you're like, oh, that's great. Congratulations, Alexi on your 38 point season. Like, it's like, well, what, what, you haven't, you have to answer to that. Why is the guy that was picked a few picks after you tripling your production? How do the Flyers have a worse power play than the Flames? Yeah, what's going on? And they're winning. They're in the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:42:05 I mean, the Flames power play has been atrocious. And we look this morning, there's frigging three, there's five. teams below them. Washington has a 6% power play. Goodness, gracious. I just don't know how, because it's been hard to watch here. Is that real?
Starting point is 00:42:21 It makes sense. 6%. Wow. And Ovi, just you would think, just blasting away. Three power play. The power play hasn't changed.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Like, okay, Backstrom, not feeding you pucks or whatever. But like you got John Carlson back in the mix this year. What's the excuse? O'Shea is a big part of that.
Starting point is 00:42:39 I wonder if Backstrom being done. It sounds like he's, done done if that isn't one of the serious nail in the coffin of that goal record pursuit yeah i don't think so i think he's he's he's he's a machine he's gonna keep he's gonna keep going uh i don't he doesn't care if you know if a wall is feeding him pucks um but i i will say on a on a lower scale like in terms of urgency that oshi injury against the oilers the other day was really concerning and two points in 17 games like i wonder if we're also at the very same time seeing the end for tj oshy yeah i was stunned when i saw those numbers for him the other day that's
Starting point is 00:43:23 still he's just always like a few million bucks per point just a he's just a very good hockey player right in every sense of it you just see him he's both ends of the ice does it the right way um i was talking to barry trots by the way the other day and he said tj o's She is the best natural athlete he ever had on his team. Really? He said it didn't matter if it was baseball, football, golf, whatever it might be. He said he'd be a pro in any one of the other sports. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Maybe he can say about us, Frank. To go right to the senior tour. Maybe he'll start playing slow pitch. Is there a pro slow pitch league? Paddle ball. Something like that. Give us a Frank bomb. What do you watch and what are you keeping an eye on this week?
Starting point is 00:44:04 Yeah, yeah. Patrick Kane. I mean, come on. This is the week. Is it? Yeah, I mean, isn't he coming to Calgary? Clearly. Stampede this summer,
Starting point is 00:44:13 but you mean for hockey we're talking about? Yeah, for hockey. Showtime. It's showtime. It's this week. It's first, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:20 if not today, tomorrow, Wednesday. Who's the frontrunner? I had, we had thought it was Florida last week, and then I had heard some rumblings over the weekend
Starting point is 00:44:30 that it may be Buffalo. Buffalo, we go to Buffalo. Is you not just taking the money if he goes there? They're not going to make the playoffs. Well, that's the thing is they've really
Starting point is 00:44:40 struggled this year. and another team I can't really figure out because I thought they'd be so much better. But if you take a multi-year deal and it's not for the money, he's made $124 million. Why does he want a multi-year deal? Like, I don't get...
Starting point is 00:44:54 Well, it's security. You get a chance to end your career there instead of being like, hey, it's a one-off. I got to go settle someplace for six months. He's got a kid. Not to say it's difficult, but he's got a family. And it's home.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Buffalo's home. Yeah, I was just confused by the playoff drought. It sounded like he wanted a place to go win. And then he was asked for multi-year-old. your deals. It's like, wouldn't you be more marketable to a contender on a one-year deal? But whatever. Yeah, one-year deal for $875,000. Right?
Starting point is 00:45:22 You said it. He's made $130 million. I mean, I don't know. I personally, I'd want to go. Home is home. I don't think. That's fine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:30 And the Sabres do have a bunch of talent. They haven't played very well this year. I don't think they're. He's not a goalie, right? They don't have a, well, if they'd have listened to me, they'd be fine. But nobody wants. trade for Markstrom. Get Markstrom, get Hanifan.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Now you've solidified everything. Go get Kane. Now you're a team. I actually think they're a team that makes a lot of sense for Hanifan. Absolutely. Yes. Markstrom. Markstrom and Levi.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Come on. Brett's been banging the drum for a Hanifan, Markstrom dealed the Buffalo for quite sometime. We'll take the Ukapuka, Luca, Mukal, Luca, Luca. Because the Sabres have a bunch of young kids and they're not going to be able to fit them all into the lineup. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:06 They've got to move some assets. And that solidifies the Sabers. for it's there are two areas of concern yes yeah yeah two young team men you need some steady so does ret count as a source then will you be quoting him as a source your sources in calgary suggests that maybe there's a mega deal someone close to craig conroy has suggested hanf and then markstrom no by the way there seemed to be some thought process out there that
Starting point is 00:46:35 with that trade request that the leifes would be tariff targeting Zadarov. I think if the Leafs are going after anyone from Calgary, it's going to be TANF. Take him. He plays defense. That's what they need. Take them.
Starting point is 00:46:49 And you know what the best part about TANF is? Like now, though, like today. Yeah. Before he plays tonight. Yeah. You just,
Starting point is 00:46:57 but you don't have to marry him. Just a couple months of Tannab. That's all you're signing up for. If Trey wants to bring in TANV, that's great. I'm all for it. And he shouldn't play him until March. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Yeah. April 15. Because give them a couple of games for them. You can't pass your physical. We can reverse the trade. Nope. Nope. I'm good with it.
Starting point is 00:47:19 We're just going to leave that to real good. That looks like a how many months, four and a half, my six miles. Yeah, you know, we'll see. We'll put them on LTIR and hopefully it'll work out in the end. They have a few of those guys, don't they? Matt Murray and then now. Klingberg. Klingberg got banished to Robita Island.
Starting point is 00:47:36 I mean, they're on their way. I mean, what an amazing setup that is. you I called them flat earthers because they were in denial about what Jacob Klingberg was or sorry John Klingberg. Jacob's probably not good either though. Yeah. So I was saying like they bring him in and take a flyer on him and like it's not often that you get to undo your mistake.
Starting point is 00:47:59 You get a little white out and you just, oh, we're going to slide you over here to Robita Island and collect your four million bucks. And just would they have to include him in a deal then? like I mean But I mean if you go down the road If they can then have that spot back To do it with somebody else You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:48:17 What do you mean? They don't need any spot You can have an limited LTIR Wow I just wonder if it would make sense For them to get him out They aren't gonna use him I don't think so
Starting point is 00:48:30 I don't know what to everybody Yeah Not if I cost them to do it No they can just park him there For the rest of the season You just don't, you don't get to bring a guy in and then undo it never happens. You're stuck with that guy and you're eating a turd burger all year. Well, we're, we all like Tanev.
Starting point is 00:48:49 We're all very skeptical of what he's got left to offer. Well, the health thing's the biggest concern. He hasn't been that. How's he played this year? He's going down the tunnel twice in like, I was going to say he's the last two weeks. I was going to say, oh, geez. Again. And you're like, which one of these is the last tunnel trip?
Starting point is 00:49:06 And to me, his. has deteriorated big time this year. I still think he's a good defense, but you just see getting around is not as easy. Well, but okay, so then let's say you're a Zadarov guy. He definitely has a different element, but as you've said a million times, Pender, he's still a third pair guy.
Starting point is 00:49:25 Yes, of course he is. Pinder's not the guy to talk about Zadorov, though. He tools he. It's just he's on his fourth team and he's like, wait until I get to my fifth, they'll finally understand what I am. He's like, no, you need to understand what you are. Okay, I need to.
Starting point is 00:49:36 to clarify something. Zadarov or Zadurov? Zari or Zari? Whatever. Where is it? We're laid back. Whatever. It was Tony Lippman here.
Starting point is 00:49:48 What did Betman call you? What was your last name when Bettman had you there? Frank. Frank Severelli. Frank Severelli. Frank Spoleteenie. From DailyFaceoff.com. Is he on the show? You have a train to announce.

Starting point is 00:59:15 Village Honda in the Northwest Automall presents the Pinder Report. Fellas, we start with a recap of the weekend. We do so with an afterburner with some guest hosts, Julian McKenzie of the Athletic and Ryan Pike of Flames. dot CA talking about the people. Bard told myself and Solom Volgi when we got the chance to talk to him during training camp that with the personnel on this team,
Starting point is 00:59:42 they had a top five power play in the league. And because of the concepts that he looked to bring in, which involves speed, movement, encouraging skill and creativity, yeah, absolutely. There is every reason to be, excited about the idea that this team could thrive in that. And with the cast of players, we were still kind of thinking in that mode that, you know, they needed someone to encourage
Starting point is 01:00:07 creativity and not just the old way. And 21 games in, this personnel does not work with the concepts that Marks to Bar is trying to put in. He's kind of right on a lot of fronts there. He is. Kind of like his hat. Yeah, the old Rob below, just cheering for a good game. The league crests it's right yeah yeah big thanks and shout out to julian you can find more of his work on the athletic did you play the start of that again oh is it or is it gone is it is it too much to ask to uh it is kind of just clips the that yeah it's a lot of work i'm just kidding saucy after a steel is yeah yeah yeah so you can play the clip and uh you can you can full screen uh myself once he's done yeah yeah i got to do a thing mark savard told myself
Starting point is 01:00:59 and Saul and Volgi when we got the chance to talk to him during training camp that with the personnel on this team they had a top five power play in the league. Oh, geez. Oh, God. Oh, no. What? Team. What's going on here? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:01:19 Oh, my God. Blowing away. Whoa. Whoa. What? Did he say what? Whoa. The flying the army being, he knew what the personnel was when he came in and said those things.
Starting point is 01:01:29 For God me. I was not ready for that. For what he got the freaking job? He's a salesman. Yeah, he is a salesman. I'll have this thing. How many?
Starting point is 01:01:39 Top five. Yeah. You thought the oilers had a good one last year. Wait until I get my paws on. I had no one of the first unit. You guys just aren't using the personnel. No, you have the personnel. The concepts.
Starting point is 01:01:51 You have the wrong concepts. You got forwards playing D and D playing forwards. The goalie. I don't know what you do with the goalie. Concepts got to go. with the personnel. You got to do both. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 01:02:03 More on the power play. If you want more, just hang on, hang on, not here. If you need more spit-take opportunities, Julian's got a piece up
Starting point is 01:02:10 on the athletic.com this morning. Today, it's the 27th best in hockey and they've got one powerplay goal in their last 10 games. We're so good. The traumatic pause. I'm really for full screen.
Starting point is 01:02:29 It's acting, just genius chops. Oh, you got to stop at these. I mean, come on. We've got to move on. My ticker can't take it.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Now, hang on, because do you know that Nick D. Samoan's been sent back to the American lady? We're going to have to fucking mopless showing up. Yeah, he's got eight games played in 22 days. If he gets to 10 games or 30 days, he needs waivers to get back down. Again, not to be confused with Dominique Simone. He was the. You can Google it.
Starting point is 01:03:04 Good Google. Which one, the player or the? did she enjoy the man favorite love the bottle play a lot of different concepts she was wearing those gingerbread nikes it is the Vegas golden nights in town tonight fellas
Starting point is 01:03:26 I think they won the Stanley Cup the last yeah that's the one here's the group pretty much that did it and not a lot of turnover guys barbachev Eichel and Marsha So on the top line Stevenson Howden Stone. If you don't like Houtons, the Houdens, you don't like people. Cotter, Carlson, and Amadio on the third line, and then Carrier, Wa, and Colossar, the
Starting point is 01:03:50 fourth line. It's a good hockey team, rat. There's the back end. This doesn't feel as... Are you saying that because they won the cup or just because... Yeah, I've been swayed. I didn't think they were that good, but then they won the cups. So they're not.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Obviously, they're great. McNabb, White Cloud, Hague, Patrangelo, Hutton, and is it Pichal? Mm-hmm. they're missing a couple regulars. It's Martinez and Theodore that are not in there that you would have seen hoisting the trophy last spring. And of course, Annette, it's Hill and Thompson, two dusters, anyone could have had a year ago.
Starting point is 01:04:21 And now two really good goalies. Yeah, fucking Vegas. Another team that finds golfing. Yeah, it's easy. So easy, guys. There's no excuse why you would be an NHL team and not have good goalton. In fact, they had so many good goalies last year. They just couldn't even find room for John Quick,
Starting point is 01:04:34 who's just lighten it up with the Rangers this year. That's right. So that's what they'll be in store for tonight. First of a three game roadie, we noted. They're in Edmonton tomorrow. They'll probably play both goalies. They've got Vancouver. I mean, it's Vegas.
Starting point is 01:04:49 If they play well, it's going to be a tough night for the opposition. Great getting out of their own zone. They forecheck like champs. They get good goaltending. They protect their net minors. Yeah, it's a system thing. First game back after a road trip. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:04 I thought they didn't last time. But it was the last time they were fine. What are you talking about? This group doesn't get constipated. You know what else? You got so many guys, Western Canadian kids on this Vegas. They'll be focused about getting,
Starting point is 01:05:18 I gotta go see my mom and dad. And I, you know, that sort of thing. Cowboys. Totally distracted. Yeah. Totally.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Find out tonight. And we should tell you, will we be a special event tonight for the game? Or are we? After Brown? I don't know. Okay. We'll talk.
Starting point is 01:05:36 I know you're not doing it. I'm going to kick off my curling team three weeks in a row of doing afterburners instead. Well, that is important. I mean, you do have a future in that. That's what he threw out this morning. Oh, am I doing it? Well, yeah, because I got the eye curling. I'm in there.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Oh, okay. Curling sounds like a good reason for me to have to do after burn. You need to start curling. That's what you're missing out here. You could really get some time off if you curled a little more. I guess so. Jacob Truba. Apparently above the law,
Starting point is 01:06:01 friends. You can slash someone in the head and not even get suspended. Whack. Yeah. that's what you did there's no defending that and he oh jesus what the hell is that who did that who did that that's amazing what is that i mean yeah because that's but the other angle right you see it and then off it goes i didn't see him losing oh my god yeah that flip and you only get a fine for that uh we don't see anything that's out of the usual the see
Starting point is 01:06:35 BBA maximum allowable fine of 5,000. What are we talking about here? He fucking slashed him in the helmet. And I saw the true, but did the quote come out yesterday or today? Yeah, it does not look very good. And I did. I have to do that and definitely we'll just move on. It's the type of quote you have actually gets suspended for two games.
Starting point is 01:06:51 Yeah. I like that. There's really no more neat to talk about it. We'll just move on and be done with it. Next, we're in Manhattan and ticket prices are very high. And Gary's happy. Got it. Sounds good.
Starting point is 01:07:01 I got it. Brutal. Let's go to Philadelphia. Tough night for the bills. who look great and we're so close to beating the Eagles many, many times last night. Let's go to the game winning play in overtime after they hit a 59 yarder in the rain to tie it. And, well, we'll give me some Philly fan juice as well. And the teams, Hertz to the end zone.
Starting point is 01:07:24 And the Eagles have won it in overtime. That's Philly. Hey, buddy. Welcome. You from Buffalo? Nice to be a bird. Those are two fan bases for sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:43 Yeah, that's how that one goes. More football. How Jack do you think Jack was? Jack was pretty jacked. We went to the Jack camp yesterday. I'm going to guess. Jack, Jack, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:53 They got a win. They got a new offensive coordinator. They got 400 yards. Oh, yeah. Is he flexing? All 16 points? Yeah, I know. That was a preseason picture.
Starting point is 01:08:06 It's a lot of to see. Jack's got a personal catalog at home. He was so good in the preseason. When people weren't trying, God, he's good. And then also, Also this note from the Steelers. Here we go. No, don't have it.
Starting point is 01:08:23 All right. Yonsey Johnson, there's a fumble. That's the effort you're looking for. What are you doing? I don't know. I guess I'm not getting at that. This guy sucks. Because it was Pickens that was always doing the Instagram.
Starting point is 01:08:44 eyes and the liking tweets saying there's no one thrown on the ball and all stuff like that. This is Deontay Johnson. Is he the bigger issue than Pickens, Jack? What's what's going on with your boys there? Yeah, he's a loser. Okay, well, that was easy. We'll move to the Chargers. Speaking of losers, there's nothing.
Starting point is 01:08:59 I'm telling you. He's up and down. The Jack analysis is one of the favorite things we do. He's so pro and so con just hours. And there's no messing around. Yeah, he sucks. Yeah, he's a loser. Yeah, that guy sucks.
Starting point is 01:09:12 Okay, good. This guy's good. the people running this team suck. Since the charges drafted Justin Herbert in 2020, 30 and 30. That was before last night's loss. That's not that show you're talking. 30 and 31.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Oh, that's not the show. That's a bad record is what it is. And they now have allowed more points than they've given up. Maybe put some people that know what they're doing around Justin Herbert, like a GM and a coach plays. Ugh. And do you see the final play there?
Starting point is 01:09:39 Yeah. It's like, okay, here we go. Last ditch effort. This is it. And just, guy comes sailing untouched to take him down. You need to stop.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Get the ball back. Now just run 60. And then usually like the O line will come. Oh shit. We didn't get them here. Help me help. No. Looked.
Starting point is 01:09:55 Oh, I see you're, you're getting up by yourself. All right. Who was talking about? Was it Frank about getting paid to not show up to work? Or was that some of that, what we're talking?
Starting point is 01:10:05 Some of the people are getting paid money, not working. Oh, there's another one in amateur athletics. Can't pay the players, but they do pay the coaches. This is Tom Allen. No relation to Tim.
Starting point is 01:10:14 Oh. 20 million bucks to not show up to work for the next few years. What do we have to do to get on one of these files? Come on, Tom. Indiana. Doesn't you have to live in Indiana anywhere. Just talk some money. You live where we want.
Starting point is 01:10:27 Do you have any video of the Ohio State Michigan game? Nobody that was there. No. At the Maddose. 110,000. What a game. Number two, number three,
Starting point is 01:10:36 11 and old clubs. Definitely can't afford anything. Those schools. No, I don't know how with only a hundred and some odd thousand. Yeah. Well, the coach only makes it with $10 million a year. We could just pay players.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Like they're getting free biology degrees, guys. They get books and housing. People showing up at my kids' hockey game early to go sit in the pub upstairs to watch. Game of the year in college football did not at this point. I don't watch a lot of college, but I was like, that's going to be on in the Saturday afternoon and caught a decent amount. That was great. Back and forth to go, Marvin Harrison Jr. Thoughts that, okay, so that loss probably gets OSU out of the tournament, the top four.
Starting point is 01:11:12 So if that's the case, will he playing a ball again? and risk getting hurt ahead of the NFL draft or does you just say that's it that's my career next time you see me i'm in the NFL don't care all right i don't know that who's really trying to do a college because mcalfrey did that right he didn't play in the ball game and nick bosa left midseason at ohio state in his draft you remember that or no it was wild okay uh we're done talking about college football we tried really hard this we've got a lot of dumb shit like a hall of fame level of dumb shit for nice we'll start with government's doing something right. It doesn't make the show because it's almost never happens. Now,
Starting point is 01:11:49 this is Rett on this commute. There's a light where you're not allowed to turn right on the red. And Red has no interest. He needs to go right on the red. And look at how many swings Red's got in it. It's five, six. Like, who knew you could build a wooden post so strong and sturdy? Like you got to tip your cap to the Department of Transportation on this one. He's using a goddamn shovel. Let me why. They're going to chop that down, dude. Just give it a shake. need a chainsaw or you need Rob Ray with another axe and then you'll be able to turn right on that red this guy really thing right? Did you read that? What, chopping on sign?
Starting point is 01:12:22 No, turning right on red. He really wants to turn right on red. What in Montreal? They let you know. Now they're talking about doing it in Toronto. It's a... I thought you always could in Toronto. Am I crazy? I know Montreal you cannot go red on a red. Well, but you can go drought on a rouge. What about a verde? Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Now, this is red. I believe after the O. OSU game. I think you had kid hockey in the morning. You were tired. Wipe. And then your kids, what a prank to play on you. These just unthankful bras. You had a couple twist of teeth. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:13:03 I mean, these kids, these kids. Like, that's a rental house. That's just, you're going to pay for a new chair. Offside.

Starting point is 01:14:35 Is that AI? Maybe it's a. You got some AI coming up. In fact, I do believe AI is next. Somebody asked for this, and we need to say it's AI, because I know we've got a lot of Swifties and a lot of Kelseyites out there. We don't have them upset. Oh, geez.
Starting point is 01:14:50 Come on, guys. Hey, I, you can't be doing this. What if, what if Kelsey sees this? He's a stud. What's he thinking? That's a spit take. Of course he's a stud, but you can't creep in on your, his boys, Travis Kelsey.

You guys, something right fucking now. It's not easy to be a fucking champion, all right? It's the hardest fucking thing there is to do. The only way you can be a fucking champion is if you work your fucking ass off.

Starting point is 01:16:33 not to take fucking batting practice against a fucking team you're going to have to play in the championships. Well, they've got the fucking momentum. If you work for it, you can beat them. But you've got to work for it. If you don't work, you're throwing a whole fucking year away.

Starting point is 01:20:33 I was going to say, you might need to, yeah, you might need to drizzle some gravy in there. No, no, no, not if you're ready. It's a beef dip. It's a Thanksgiving dinner dip. Dip as much as you want to. That is good. You got all that stuff at your house?
Starting point is 01:20:46 No beans. I don't care about the beans. I don't care about the beans. So, yeah, I got, I definitely got turkey. Okay, because if I'm coming around. No, yeah, there's maybe some whatever you call them in the fridge. You could just grill cheese it kind of. Yeah, yeah.

We should do a leg wrestling thing. Are you going to compete, right? Well, apparently, after Thanksgiving dinner, they decided,
Starting point is 01:25:40 he's like, I can, I can run faster than you. There's no way you can run fast. This happens a lot. Guys get wasted and then you do a race. You know, because Rett's taller, long legs. He's going to be able to, he's going to be able to beat Rob. And Rob's explosive. I'm lower to the ground, but don't worry about it.

Starting point is 01:27:08 I'm going to look like an asshole. Hearingloss.ca is the website. You know what? Hearing loss clinic, they started. Just wanted to help people out. Help people like me. Yeah. People like me.
Starting point is 01:27:20 You've been helped. I mean, there's a lot of people like me. Don't like they don't want to be. They are. No one's happy about it. there's a lot of how we got here. Holy fuck, I'm like Boomer. Jesus. And you know what?
Starting point is 01:27:34 What are we doing? And at the same time, there's only so much the hearing loss clinic can do. That's fair. Right? So, I mean, uh, at least the hearing will be back to her. Do they break into your house and pick you up to come to the clinic?
Starting point is 01:27:46 No, no, no. So you have to do that part of your own. You're going to have to go. But once you go and, uh, like I said before, you may not even know, you may not even realize you may not even think.
Starting point is 01:27:55 It's like, no, I can hear fine. And then you see what actually this is what you're missing. I defy you to leave there without saying, yes, I would like to hear all of that. And more, please. Men and women of all ages, of course, children can suffer from hearing loss. I think it is important for kids. Because kids, you think, talk, we don't know.
Starting point is 01:28:15 How do kids know? And sometimes when it's like, well, the marks aren't good or what's the, we'll very quickly go to eyeglasses. Where are you sitting in the classroom? We don't necessarily, again, think, well, are you? Are they hearing everything? Are they hearing, picking up all that they should be. Serious health risks, in addition to that, can be linked to untreated hearing loss. Four Calgary locations, soon to be five, and BC locations, Cranbrook, Creston, Fernie, Golden, and Invermere. Get an assessment done, hearingloss.ca, on Twitter at the hearing loss, Instagram at the hearing loss clinic.

Starting point is 01:32:40 I thought we had some hard hitting stuff. There was some great videos this morning. Frank was pretty good today. Was he? We talked power play. We got into the. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:49 We figured out this Haniff and things. thing. Please. Let's go. Pretty clear now what's going on there. Yeah. Got to the bottom of that quick. Thanks for that, by the way. Finally, everyone's coming around on my trade to Buffalo. People that hear about it go, actually, this guy's not as stupid as he looks. Where's it sounds? I couldn't believe what I heard about Savard and his prediction for the power play. What is it when you, if you go to Philly, you can just stay at Frank's house. I don't, I don't know how that words. I don't know. Oh. And he takes you on the field.
Starting point is 01:33:20 at the Eagles game? That I don't understand because I saw the photos. I was like, what the H is going on? Your Remtruck on the field? Now you're drinking fancy at Lincoln Financial.
Starting point is 01:33:29 Like what? What? Yeah. And you picked the bears. So we got, I can't take the Eagles because they're good. You can take the Eagles because of Frank and Frank could get you on the field.
Starting point is 01:33:39 I know. Big Eagles. Fly Eagles fly. As a front runner, Dean doesn't want to be seen as a front runner. I respect that decision. I'll tell you what it's pretty high. But Jalen Hertz got me 35 points last night.
Starting point is 01:33:47 Oh, yeah, buddy. But you can't right now. The Kelsey podcast, and everyone loves the Kelsey's, and the Eagles flying the documentaries out. Oh, it's your big Eagles, okay, you can't do it. You know, I just thought I'd get a team, and I've always liked Eagles. They're the fucking favorites to win the Super Bowl. You can't pick them, your front runner.
Starting point is 01:34:07 So you're big of the bears, because you're a huge. That's right. So that you understand. It was part of it. No one is going to say that you're jumping on a band. That's right. That's a reason to cheer for someone. Among other things.
Starting point is 01:34:18 Yeah, I think it was among other things. Door dash, door dash, ditch your door dash here, door dashing through the snow with a bag full of food for you. Restaurants, grocery, pharmacies, and bakeries and flour shops and more. They have everything you need.

After that, 7.30, Vegas, Calgary, from the dome, and your house, because you're not leaving your house, to go to the dome, lost your Stanley Cup champs against the flames and Vegas minus 120 slight favorite.

Starting point is 01:36:55 But it was like, how much food did I order? Like a happy meal and then another thing for the, hey, Zeus. It's what happens when you leave the house, damn it. Yeah, I never leave again. Get you. Like a thing is $15? There was something about a place down in the States where, yeah, I think one of the mcdudes burgers was $18.
Starting point is 01:37:23 I don't know what's happening. It's called inflation. It's very, it's, it's deep. Deep. You know what I did? Deeper and when I saw it, I got the thing, you know what I did? I shit myself. I did.
Starting point is 01:37:36 I did. I did. It was the other end. That's exactly what it looked like. The spit take and there's a shit tank. It's a shit tank for sure. Yeah. Let's do some betway bets.
Starting point is 01:37:49 Bet, Bet, pets, bets, bets. Do we have bets for tonight? I got, dude. Oh, come on. Dude. Bears and Vikings. So we'll have our, uh,
Starting point is 01:38:02 point spread picks tomorrow. Point spread picks tomorrow, but for today, there's some football and some hockey today. On the bit way, bets. Get the bet way up on your phone. Bet the responsible way with that way. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 01:38:18 Betway. Maybe it's on your desktop. Maybe it's on your laptop. You use the desktop. I use the app. It works for me. I love having the app. We're watching the game.
Starting point is 01:38:30 It's like, oh, geez, look at this. In game. A little bit of that. A little bit of this. Oh, the others down to the ducks. Maybe we'll sprinkle on the visitors. Yeah, buddy. Yeah, buddy.
Starting point is 01:38:41 Let's take a look. I got a little football. I got a little hockey. Ty Chandler has slowly but surely been taking over the, the rushing job there in Minnesota. Take that Alexander Madison. Chicago, I believe, is bottom five. In terms of D against the run.
Starting point is 01:38:59 And last time, Ty Chandler faced a team that was bottom five. He put up 73 rushing yards. Which is more, I believe, than 32 and a half. It's more than 32 and a half. I'm taking Ty Chandler to go over 32 and a half. Minus one 10. And Jonathan Marcius-o, I looked this morning. in his career again playing the flames is a half a goal per game.
Starting point is 01:39:22 Hmm. So I'm going with the anytime goal for Marsha. So anytime. Anytime. Any time, anytime. Plus 140. Plus 140 for Marshal. I got both my bets coming from the Vegas Calgary game at the dome tonight.
Starting point is 01:39:38 Jack Eichol, anytime goal plus 135. Ever since Rhett called him a bum, he's looked like a superstar. So he's going to do it again to show you up. And his neck is better. Connor's area. or Zari as Frank was pointing out. Plus 120 to get a point. We're living on that one these days.
Starting point is 01:39:54 Come on now. You kidding me? Zari. I think it's Sari. Zari. Like very. Zeri. Or Harry. Mary? Or Gary.
Starting point is 01:40:07 Gary. Larry. Larry. Mary. Mary. Who said Zari? Frank. Yeah, Frank. The Zadarov does sound weird when people use it. I do wonder though if you were to ask him. Has anybody asked them?
Starting point is 01:40:22 You know what he says? He called me Big Cat. Yeah. So I mean, I'm in respect his wishes. Yeah. How, that's your Betway Betts. The Betway bets, get the Betway app, wherever you need to get it, and then play along and bet the responsible way with Betway,
Starting point is 01:40:38 our buddies, our partners in online stuff. How do you pronounce this? A big cat. How are you with, because I had a, I had someone text me while the game was on the, the other night, they are done with the big cat. Really? Well, the big cat's always been a roller coaster guys.
Starting point is 01:40:59 Like, nothing here is new. Nothing. Feels like his play has diminished since the trade request went up. Have there ever been really long uphill climbs on a coaster and then really long down? Again, you're not the guy to talk to about this. I just feel vindicated by all this. That's all. Of course he's his hot stretches and stretches where he looks like shit.
Starting point is 01:41:18 He's a third pair roller coaster. Is it a person we know that's? the cat? Yeah. Is it the GM of the flames? No. If he was done with something, he may be trying to sign him.
Starting point is 01:41:31 What do you, what do you think the offers he's getting for the Big Catar? I think you'd probably get a third right now. What's a reasonable offer? A higher third than a lower third or a late second? I don't know. I mean, you try to get as much as you can and you hope that.
Starting point is 01:41:46 Thanks, tips. I don't mean to, I'm not trying to be like, rat, obviously there's that. No, but I think the name of the game is, the longer you wait, the more desperation they'll be for defensemen because people are going to get injured.
Starting point is 01:41:56 There'll be more clarity about the playoff picture and guys are like, shit, we could do it. We just need one more guy. I don't think right now is necessarily when, A, we see many deals at all and B, that you'd get max value for this guy. If you get the right team at the right time, maybe it's like, that's it.
Starting point is 01:42:12 Let's do it. But I'm just not really hopeful. The moment that trade across is made, I'm like, this changes nothing. Now you've just aired laundry publicly. That's all it's changed. I think, but you're only going to get so much for that guy. Like you just said, best case scenario?
Starting point is 01:42:27 I think you'd love to get a second. I feel like a third. You could probably get that today. You could get that next week, a month or two down the road. And I don't, then you have to fill his spot and you don't have a young,
Starting point is 01:42:42 burgeoning guy that you're holding back, right? It's, well, D. Simone can play or Gilbert can play. Slow, you know, could come off. Lori's hurt. But none of those guys really feel like they deserve time. You're a better team. with him in the lineup. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:55 And again, it's an easier deal to make and you'll probably get more once more of that money's paid down and it's a smaller cap hit for a team to incur. Now, let me ask you this.
Starting point is 01:43:04 What about the goalie? Which one? Ladar. He's the shit. Has been good again. He has not been. I keep waiting. And the funny thing is
Starting point is 01:43:12 is there's always like two or three. You're like, what the fuck are you doing here? And then it'll battle his ass off here. Like, where was that guy in the first period? You never question his try or his desire. But sometimes, you just missed it.
Starting point is 01:43:24 You missed that one. Whiff. Quiff. And, yeah, so play Hannafin more to increase his trade stock. You're playing the other guy a little less. Yeah, there's no stock now. You have to play him into form. You can't trade them.
Starting point is 01:43:36 You can't trade them. No, God, no. He's making 2.2. He's got to look better than that. And he can, but it's just not if he's going to play like this. Is he going to, no. What are you basing that comment on? That they're goalies, that Aiden Hill got moved for a fourth last year,
Starting point is 01:43:47 and no one thought he was good at hockey. And now he's got a $4.5 million dollar deal in a cup ring. That's why. They're goalies. He's definitely a top 100 goalie in the world. Any of them hot looked good. The hamburger was in the coast and came up and won like 15 out of 17. They're freaking goalies.
Starting point is 01:44:01 But unpredictability doesn't ensure that he's going to turn it around. No, but we've seen him play good hockey before. His first year here, he had two shutouts that year, the first half of the season. He was phenomenal. Markstrom was on that shutout heater. We've seen him play well. He's just not playing well. But we've also seen goalies who have had good stretches of play and that disappear.
Starting point is 01:44:19 Yeah, right. And so. So it's just as likely it's that. I don't know that it's that necessarily. I just think when you saw Markstrom last year off of four months, how many people thought this is going to turn around? He's too good to stay this bad. And how many people thought this guy's dead?
Starting point is 01:44:36 Markstrom and Bladar are too completely. I agree. But my point is that goalies are so volatile. We get caught up in the present. Like that you were like, Marksman's not a big game goal. He's no good. And like, Brett, he had Vesnavotes two out of four years.
Starting point is 01:44:50 years like considerable like finish fourth finish second in three year span he was insane in the playoffs in the bubble in emminton they had a shitty decor in front of him but he looked so bad for four months it was like yeah you're maybe you're right like maybe he's lost it and then he had a kid and everything changed and so it's just if you're only going to look at one and two months spells of a goalie i don't think you have any clue what the future holds now your point is he's never really been dominant at the initial level and i'll grant you that i'll say that's kind of it's not back-to-to-back games, but it's still a pretty small. You're talking about a year.
Starting point is 01:45:22 Sample size of him playing. Again, none of it, Vesna caliber. I mean, he's been, he's been, he needs to be a backup. That's all you see. He's had performances worthy of a backup. Right now they aren't. So I don't know. And then again, if it's a team that's looking to add a goaltender, who else is
Starting point is 01:45:39 looking to shed? Would you take McKenzie Blackwood? You probably would. We're making less than a million on a one-year deal. You'd rather do that than what are at this point, no question. He's making big dough and not playing too. If you're going to get Vladar, you're betting on the skill set. You're not saying look at how good he is right now, right?
Starting point is 01:45:55 Is there ever a time where you just, you can put them on waivers because no one's going to take him? Not a 2.00. Where you just do what you're trying to do? You do a wolf in Vladar swap? It's a same. Would San Jose kick tires on this guy? What's the worst case scenario? I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:46:11 Why wouldn't they? Why would they? Because they're probably going to trade a goalie. What do they need Vladomar for to see if he's good? you're betting on a better skill set than bringing up a guy from the coast. But are they trying to win? Maybe you found a starter for next year.
Starting point is 01:46:25 That's my whole point. It's the type of risk you would take. So how did we feel about Devin Dubnick when he was in Montreal and didn't even dress in the playoffs? Done. And he came back and was awesome. Okay, so that's one case in the last 25 years.
Starting point is 01:46:36 I still think Dubnick had a better run. Dubek was a first round pick. There was a pedigree of play. Well, and I know that's maybe not the best comparable. First year is here, 906-275. I think some of this is back to talking to Sadorov. And what are you trying to do with the team? Are you trying to be good?
Starting point is 01:46:56 Like I wonder, do you send him down so he can play a bunch of games? You know? If you can, yeah. And you're not worried at all about someone claiming them and he turns into a goal. At 2.2 million, no chance. Take him. And if you take him at 2.2, that's. You're not traded up for anything right now, so you have to play him some way.
Starting point is 01:47:13 That just means Wolf comes in. You save the cap hit. you'd love it's got points in four of a six starts i know he has been good i'm trying to build the case i don't know i know i know but it's it's it's not about if you can't trade him he's not valuable enough to another team right he's not worth two point two and you're not bringing him back because this is last year no he's got next year which is why so you want to get rid of it you'd never you can't have ladar sit again like or a wolf so you'd be happy just to dump the well i think they move a goal this year for sure the hope is that bladar play well enough you could
Starting point is 01:47:45 move them. But you can't. Not now. He's not. No, but if he's gone for a month, but how are you going to move a goalie then? Well, then you, again, if they're 15 points out of the playoffs in March, I think you have the awkward conversation with Markstrom, don't you?
Starting point is 01:47:59 Well, you can. I, I love that idea, but you're pitching me a Markstrom deal to Buffalo. Don't tell me you can't trade Markston. I'm fine with trading Markstrom. I know. Absolutely. It goes back to what I said. It's two years after this one. Yeah. But then you have a Vladar Wolf combination. I don't care, but
Starting point is 01:48:15 great. I just wonder in the short term, if you give just to satisfy Wolf a little bit, it might, you got him come up. Your hands up a little bit, sorry, I don't think it would happen,
Starting point is 01:48:26 but it might tie your hands up a little bit if someone did take them. Because now you have to keep Markstrom, right? You can't trade Marks. All these things are attached. Like, to your point,
Starting point is 01:48:37 what's the long-term plan here? And I think we'll have clarity by the time we get to Christmas about what this team is or isn't, but you can sell me that they're good and you could sell me that they're horseshit, right now. And there are two games into this 15 game,
Starting point is 01:48:48 what do we call it? The gauntlet run. It's the gauntlet run. He's already claimed they were horseshit. And he wasn't going to buy in. You know what? In fairness, we've all done a lot of them.
Starting point is 01:48:56 No, dude, the first nine or ten games they were ever, they were fucking horses shit. And it was like, if Nazam Kodry's going to look like this, and if John the Heuer was going to look like this, like there's no chance there are outside of the bottom five in this league. No,
Starting point is 01:49:06 what we didn't see coming was something looking like pulling in the right direction from Hubert. No, never mind the full resurgence of like, this is the cadre we saw in Colorado. all of a sudden. Trade him. Can you trade Goddrey now? It's a more difficult one, but you could try.
Starting point is 01:49:22 If he's playing like this, it's a lot easy. Like this. And again, it's all like, what's your philosophy? What does the owner let you do? GM, what's your plan here? But I don't think there's a scenario where Dustin Wolf is left in the American League next year, no matter what. It's either Vladar's been passed or you've had the awkward conversation with
Starting point is 01:49:39 Markstrom or Validar got hot and you traded him. His first year in this league, you could trade him for a haul after that with the flames. 906, 275. The hell did we get up for, give up for him? Third rounder. Which, you know, if you got three years of backup goal and you got that back,
Starting point is 01:49:57 fine, you'd love to make it a two, but not the way he's playing now. Get hot for a month, would you? Please. Why did you let me give him 2.2? Yeah. It felt like going right at the time because he thought he was emerging as like a platoon type guy,
Starting point is 01:50:11 and it was a hot run that he signed. You can't pay a high end number one and a platoon. Did you think that Markstrom was failing for good and that Vladar was maybe an No, I think this was an asset thing where it's like, I'm going to sign this guy and then we'll move them and we've got Wolf coming. What they didn't expect was him with the 869 this year. Yeah. Huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:37 There's probably 30 starts in there where it was like, fuck, we might have another number one coming here with Lidar. And then since then it's been 30 starts of like, nope, that's definitely not number one. So what are the next 30 look like? And I think he's a nice guy. Sure is tall. I don't know why teams wouldn't want him. Nice. He's such a nice guy. He's very tall. Yeah. If you're any up high on a shelf, he'll, you don't even need a ladder. Just ask him to get it. You know what? We'll figure out a deal. Him and Rizekka. We'll make something work. Just keep on Ponsa Sol he's also. And they're two different countries. Oh, no, no, no. See, it's
Starting point is 01:51:11 something with, he needs the, uh, because with the, you see, where's the visor? It's the altitude. It's the altitude. It's the altitude. to and these kids something. Right. Sunlight hours in Calgary. Can't move him. Yeah. Let our check and there's each of Slovakia.
Starting point is 01:51:25 Used to be the same country. Yeah. Used to be kind of the same. Yeah. Dad's were kind of. I don't know what the hell you two are even popular. I don't either. What are we,
Starting point is 01:51:31 what are we feeling tonight? Popcorn. Game one of a six game home stand. First game back. They played in Denver into the wee hours on Saturday. I've got a template for a game. Remember when they came home?
Starting point is 01:51:45 It was their first game back. and they had to play the New York Rangers. And they played well and they worked hard. And you're like, man, this doesn't look like a first game back. And they still weren't as good as the Rangers and they lost a close game. It's kind of where I'm at right now. I guess it's looking, I said this starts to show. They're looking past.
Starting point is 01:52:03 They're looking past. Guaranteed win for Red. I'll pay you a plus money on Betway. Go get it. Vegas could be loose defensively. 5-2 flinch. Oh, 5-2. Smashing them.
Starting point is 01:52:15 Power play? I don't know. have a clue. Seven hasn't let you know if they're going to score tonight. Can there be top five just tonight? I don't know if I'm buying into that. How many teams are playing tonight? Can we be a top five power play tonight in the league?
Starting point is 01:52:28 Well, if Vegas takes a bunch of penalties, then the chances of scoring shorthanded. If those power plays or those penalties overlap, it could be a five on three. They have scored one of those this year. Yeah, it'd be real good there. In November, they're even on the power play goal to me. I just hope for a good game.
Starting point is 01:52:44 Well, that's your, Gene. I'm just hoping both teams. have fun. Just a cheery guy. Nobody gets hurt. People going to the game tonight, have a great time. Have a malt. Have a soda. That way, nobody gets hurt. Nobody dies. That's right. Just enjoy yourself. May as well have a soda.
Starting point is 01:52:59 Might as well go for a soda. Nobody. If you played that song to an American, they'd be like, what in the flying? Go for a witch now? A soda. Who? What? Better than lies.
Starting point is 01:53:16 Petitio, lantern. That's something. That one annoys me. I don't know why. I didn't you hear something too much? At some point in my life, I heard that too much. I'm done with it. Liding up on life.
Starting point is 01:53:29 It was like the boys back in town for you. That one you're done with. Not a bad song, you just heard it a billion times. Too much, yeah. Oh, it's back in time. I'm starving. That's probably time. I almost just stop talking.

Starting point is 01:55:31 I can spend overtime. Two or lost four games. I know. Flames been doing a lot of overtime lately too. It's hard to figure Vegas because their, their scoring is spread out. And like we said, five on five,
Starting point is 01:55:41 Flames actually have more five on five goals. They, they will score in bunches and then have a hard time scoring. Kind of like power play goals. It's kind of like parallel. Bananas. Have a great day, everybody. We appreciate you.
