All right. Hey, look at this. It's Tuesday today. We started. Are we on? Because I've got to send Jack this one tweet. One guy's missing. Can you tell the people who this show's presented by?

It's presented by Bet365, and I'm actually looking at it because Jack needs a bet for today. We're doing Rets Betts today. I got some beauties that relate to my style of game. Okay. Coming at you. Like off the glass and out, bets? Yeah. Sort of that.

Don't pass me the puck bets. Brought you by bed 365. What was the context that? It's like, oh, you know, you've got a young player next to your rookie. Like, what are those vets saying to them? There you'd be a leader. What would you talk to say to those guys? Don't give me them.

Jack, put that back up there so I can read it. Because I can't have a recal. Game props, player props, totals in the money line, whatever your bet. Never ordinary at Bet 365. Download the app. Getting the game must be 19. I got screwed by Brock Purdy on my parley last. Well, Brock Pretty will do that to you.

He did not look great last. He looked really good two weeks ago. Jack, what the hell damn guy? Yeah, I don't know. It wasn't a great game by him. Three interceptions. It's Brock Purdy. Brock Purdy's doing Brock Purdy thing.

I'd way rather see Mac Jones play. Yeah, but are you just in love with the backup? You actually think he's a better quarterback. I think they're both backups. I think they're both. Yeah, like I do. Purdy's body works real tight. What is Purdy on another team?

Purdy fell into that, does he? I mean, you make an interesting. point because Jimmy Garoppel was there when he all thought he was a starter and then he went elsewhere. It's like he's a backup duster. But I mean, if you look at Purdy's career numbers, they look like top 15 quarterback, top 10 quarterback type stuff.

It just hasn't been a good year. Do you know that off the top of your head or you just? No, I'm a big fantasy nerd. So I've been in on Purdy. But so did Mack Jones though when he started if you go over full season. No, no. Go look at their first few years. Mac Jones lost.

No, not over his first years. I'm saying in San Francisco. If you look at Mac Jones. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, that's correct. And they're well coached. That was a big win for them, keeps them in the wild card hunt. That division's good.

Very good. They got Seattle, arguably one of the best defenses out there. JSN leading the universe in the receiving here. Seattle. I was in Seattle. I was in Seattle. And then obviously the Rams. Staff daddy.

Staff daddy. Everyone else out there hearing that is like, can you explain the staff daddy to the people? Can't. You had to be in Nashville. You miss a little. You miss a lot. You don't come on the nation vacation.

You don't get the inside track. You don't come on the barn burn of vacation. You don't get the inside jokes. Staff, Daddy. So good. Just MVP favorite at this point, I believe. Okay. You want to get involved in the program.

Very easy to do so. Just add a monetary contribution in the YouTube chat. We will get that to the U.S. Centers of Calgary. Use centers of Calgary, they're good people doing good things. I don't know what we might be 0 for two on that, but they're much better than us, which is why we give them the money.

So we're not spending it on. I've done a good thing. I don't do a good thing. and stuff. I've done a good thing. Yeah, we've all done good things. Yeah, but like, you know, when we pass, people will stand up and tell a bunch of lies about good, how good we were. We're not past.

The people of the youth in our country are actually impacting the lives of youth in our city. Did you not hear when I just was talking about pre-show? Don't pass for the puck. This tech stuff? Oh, geez, yeah. I'm like scrambling to get the reads ready because boom, bailed on us 10 minutes before the show.

I've got to dig this, that. We've got to get some bets going on. and then they're going to make energy in space. I'm like, Brett, I can do this after the show, not now. What's his deal? Who? Well, I sent Jack a tweet.

We'll get an update. Faker. Last week, you noted. I got people coming and put in the... Well, Crystal Waters are good pals. I've had Crystal Waters to my house 20 times. I think that might speak to the caliber of your home builder. Well, regardless, the point I'm getting at is I love having Crystal Waters over.

I don't sit there and hold their hand. They're more than capable of. I think they're filming something with Boone because he's the most photogenic of us. So they want to really push that. He's getting that. So he's scammed his way into a freebie is what he's done. He's very good at scamming himself free.

Look at this. There it is. Yes. Big things are happening. Crystal Waters in the house, literally. And in the garage, literally. Although there is no saying in her expression. In the garage.

It's in the house. Good looking van. That is. Look at that wrap they got on. Yeah. So here's the deal. You see the weather there? That's today.

Frightful. Imagine if you tried to fire up the old furnace last week and it went, but. Started to spit no. That would mean, coal. Yeah, that would, that would mean you didn't have crystal waters in your home,

making sure everything was going to rock and roll for the winter. And likewise in the spring, the AC is going to be coming out of a coma too. You might need that in the summer. They do stop by the house a lot. What's the shuffle in the name? Oh, Licky Fawcett again. Not a flames game day.

Take the day off. I'll send us a picture of what you're doing down there in FLA. They got some time off down here. They always play Carolina, Tampa, Florida, on this old Southeast Division swing. And sometimes they'll have a Washington. This time they've got a Nashville. Somehow they started in Vancouver, which is insane.

That's probably the longest flight in the league is if you're going to go Vancouver to Miami. They're going Vancouver to Tampa. It's close. As far as you can go. That's basically one. corner of the continent where people live to the other side of the continent where people live. Yeah, Tampa, Florida, Carolina, Nashville games 2-35, 2-3-5 on this road trip.

It's not been an easy swing for them. We'll get to that. But the boys had a big plane flight. We're going to jump into a Pinda Report item, I think, number three right now, if you don't mind, Jack, just because it seems topical. What would you do on your six-hour flight? And there might be different phases. There was rookie ret.

there was retinus prime and then grizzled vet ret. Here's the thing. I know that they stayed over in Vancouver. Yes. So I would be sleeping on my life. Yeah, you'd be catching up on your sleep. This is the funniest part. It's like, oh, yeah, we talk to our sleep doctors.

And if we spend the night in Vancouver, the boys we can reset there. If you spend the night in Vancouver, the fellows are going to floor it. Is the sleep doctor putting that one in the equation? You know what I mean? Yes. It's like the flight out of Nashville that we had.

We left up like five on the Monday. We do have. So here, let's take a look. This is, what are you doing on the six-hour flight from Vancouver, overcast, to sunny Tampa, Florida? Playing activity? Yeah. Usually cards.

Yeah. Movie watch the shows, play some video games. Sleep. Okay. And lose money. Sleep. Sleep. Uh, podcast, movies, reading.

Sleep. Sleep. Poker. Uh, cards. Uh, sleeping. Show movies. Uh, watch movies. Uh, read.

Sleep. Uh, read or sleep? Read. Sleep. And eat. I'm going to read and I'm going to hang out with Maddie. We're playing poker. I love it.

So you got the card players. Anyone that said sleep is hung over. I was going to say the party crew said, sleep. Obviously you're one of those energizer bunnies that can party and then play cards the whole flight. Because there are a few of those cats that, you know, one of my many gifts, aside from being extremely obnoxious and loquacious is a lot of energy. I could play cards after going out the night before, many will sleep. More readers than I thought.

I think three or four guys said, what are they reading? What were you reading? You ripped their books. Yeah, but we didn't have other things. You didn't have a little personal. You didn't have Wi-Fi. You didn't have a... I remember at the end of Iggy's career,

he talked about how he and Ferrence got everyone hooked on some online risk game. Well, it wasn't like risk. They were playing... Well, maybe somewhere else. But in Calgary, they had a age of empires. Oh, okay. And it was like they had the cords, the power cords. They were connecting.

Because you couldn't. There's no Wi-Fut. It was... Then he had to get a certain computer because it works better. You still had the CD that had to go in there. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Man, like, our kids are.

and old explaining our lives at their age. It's just like, is that the Stone Age? What did you talk? VCR? Can we go find Matt Coronado's face on that as well? I had to freeze frame it and stop because, and I love that Dustin Wolf gave him the show to. I believe, oh no, it was Zeri. Zeri said I'm going to read and I'm going to hang out with Maddie.

Like, I think, uh, the young fellas earned some props in terms of the toughness. Because when you come from, when you come from Harvard, people just think, okay, well, some softies going to work on Bay Street when he flames out as a player or go down to, you know, whatever, Wall Street. But no, like the dude literally, look at this. Oh! Looks like he squared off of Gino Ogic in Vancouver. Maybe he did.

No, he did. You don't want to do that. No. But yeah, that's awesome. Good for him. He came back in that game. Didn't have to. I suored my shots bet, but hey, I can hardly see you, I bet.

So yeah, okay, they'll go Tampa, they go Florida, they go Carolina, Nashville and home. Big show today. We told you can get involved in the super chats. We've got noodles coming at you on the Crystal Waters guest hotline. I don't know if we're going to get a boom. If he just said he wasn't coming in, I mean, we had to ask him. He has brought it up, and I'm like, Yeah, take the day.

I know what the You're up like just saying I just don't know I mean there's I got people coming on I don't know. What don't you know? Take the day.

You've scammed your way into some freebies and you're taking the day off. Just let's go. Hey, we all take turns doing that. Hey, it's fine. Hey, if you can do it. Get rock and roll.

Go get it. Interestingly, much of the conversation around the Flames fan base in this last week, has been regarding the interview that was conducted exactly a week ago. I guess last Wednesday, Don Maloney, the flames publicly are not willing to say they're entertaining a rebuild.

That is a fact. We don't know if they are behind the scenes or not, but we know what they told us in front of cameras and what they told SportsCenter on an article that Eric Francis penned on the website. One team that is not saying these things is apparently the Vancouver Canucks, Patrick Calvine, Jim Rutherford have said, 31 other teams, click send, vets are available.

And while they haven't put Quinn Hughes's name in the mix, watch what the Flames did with Rasmus in the last year, retro. You trade a guy at the deadline the year before his extension summer, and you don't have to worry about talking extension. No extensions. You're selling two playoff runs. Someone's got enough time that you can sell them on your market.

So they're definitely don't want to say Quinn Hughes is available. But if all the other veterans are, you're not keeping Quinn. So this might be an interesting, this Maloney stuff needs to go to bed. It's enough. We've discussed it enough. Yeah. It's childish. They won't say the word rebuild.

It is. It's complete insanity. We're not allowed to say the word. What are you talking about? Well, and that was in his press conference after Daryl and Brad we're gone. It's embarrassing. It's so childish that it drives.

Yeah. It drives me insane. Because us as fans are so stupid and lame that if we hear the word rebuild, we're going to just run for the hit. We're going to move to some other. Like, what are we talking about? I'm not sure of Rock. I don't like cock anymore.

I'm watching. What are you talking about? I'm picking up, I'm watching Darts League now. I'm not watching the Flames. They said the R word. It's insane. and this could be very interesting. If Vancouver is saying the doors are open to whatever,

we are going to explore all options. So you've got two teams, same conference division, that are saying publicly two different things. And the same spot in the standing. Five years from now would be very interesting, if what they're saying is true, and it'll be interesting to see who comes out on top. another interesting factor would be like, okay, so who are the veterans that you could move?

All of them. Right, in theory. But then there's all the no moves and who's making too much money. There's too much noise. I've said this before. There's too much noise made about the no move. And I don't disagree. If someone wants to get moved, teams can either make it happen like we've seen in New York

or the players can stick handle to where they want to be. Yes. That said, it's a more complex. deal if you're going to try to move Brock Besser till 2031, then say one year of Evander King. It absolutely is, but it doesn't mean it can. And it's the same thing as, well, what's the return? We never know what the returns on the deals that didn't happen are. You don't hear about it. So it's all hypothetical stuff. But I don't put a lot of everyone's, if I'm Vancouver and they're saying that, to me that reads, if you want someone, give us a call. Because we're open for business,

which is exactly what the flames should be doing. Correct. 100% what the flames should be doing. You don't have to move anyone. No. But you should be saying to everyone, hey. And I don't know if I, you could argue that by saying that you're throwing in,

it looks to the other GMs like you're throwing in the towel, you don't, again, I go back, you don't have to make the trade. If it's a boat anchor and it doesn't make sense, don't make the trade. But by saying that you're open to listen to, to having conversations. You don't have to tell us that,

but if you're not doing that, shame on you, you're not doing your job. Yeah, and we know that Connie is doing his job. So why are you pretending you're not taking those job? So we're so stupid.

You can't say rebuild. And we're never publicly acknowledging that we take those. We have no clue about the operations of hockey and how it plays out and what it got jams do. It's a little silly. Painful.

And again, like, uh, they kind of have. been rebuilding when you when you trade I'm going to use them rebuild all the time now they are in a rebuild because if they don't rebuild they're 32nd 31st 28th that that's enjoy I think they're like 2022 months into a rebuild it officially started in my mind when they said okay a lice land home on feb one or 10 31 or feb two the day conroy took over rebuild start rebuild was on the plate

and then they talked extensions with everyone and they weren't comfortable with the numbers as they shouldn't have been, and they made the right decision of getting the guys out who were like, well, I'll stay, but you have to overpay me. And that's pretty much all those guys. We got the noodler? We got the noodle. We'll get right to it. We told you about Crystal Waters, heated garages in vogue right now.

If you've been scraping ice off your windshield, you know what we're talking about. And or, you know, you get in and the cars like, you don't need to. It's cold here, noodles, Crystal Waters, guest hotline. the old flame, the TSN star, the play-by-play, and excuse me, the color analyst of the Ottawa senators, the man who owns 15% of all the companies that are about to explode,

it's Jamie McClunton. Sir, how are you guys doing? We're fine, yeah. I mean, lots going on here. There's thin ice on McKenzie Lake. I just got an email. Make sure you don't go walking out on the lake. You might go right through the wall, right through.

We had an incredibly mild fall noodles. and finally it was, what, six inches to eight inches around the city Sunday night? I saw online and take it for what it's worth. It's online. It's X. There was buses sliding down residential. Yes. Was that true?

Right past old Madison Ave there, Noodler, where we used to hang out. 28 Madison was in trouble? What's going on? Send up the bat signal. This was condemned years ago, you fellas. Don't worry. I just remember a guy answering the door naked with a little fur coat on. That's in style.

That must have been rest, brother. God rest, Monty. We love them. What's going on today? We're dealing with a wagon. We're dealing with three in a row. Come on. No, no, settle down.

No one's even talking about wins and losses anymore. They're all talking about the polar. You're either mad at Maloney or you're delusion. Walk me through why we're mad at Don Maloney. Okay. Because it sounds like he's, to me, it comes across to the fans as almost demeaning in, you have no clues about, clue about anything, and even what you're seeing is wrong. And just, we can't, they're not allowed to say rebuild.

Like, how childish are we? I can't say rebuild. Like, it's stricken from the dictionary? What are we talking about? I thought there was a new word involved. Wasn't there? Rebiggle. Bigel.

There. Let's say that. We haven't printed T-suits here. I'm saying rebuild because that's what they should do. But, okay. I don't buy, here, Spike Day, I'm going to go on a rant. Go ahead. I don't buy into this bullshit.

So San Jose, Chicago, and Anaheim Tamir, I don't know if I talked to you about the right about before, lots of people. They've turned a corner this year to a certain extent. Why? Because they got a goaltender. They have very high-end talent up front, but the missing piece in all these good teams is a goaltender. We have a goaltender.

We have assets that if you trade them out and make good on your draft picks or your return, you can, you can, everyone's talking about a decade of hell in this. No, no, no. Move guys, get good players in return and turn the corner. You've got the goaltender, get some high-end talent up front, embrace it and use they have cap space if they want to sweeten the deal by

eating money if you don't want to suffer for 7, 8, 10, which only Buffalo has gone decades without playoffs only them then embrace it and do the right thing and turn the corner faster you don't have to wallow you're more likely to wallow

continuing to do what you're doing Correct. You know, Don said, we like the Dallas model. You're not fucking Dallas. You haven't made the playoffs for a decade straight. Like you just aren't. It's not even close. You're not Dallas.

Everyone would like to be the best drafting team in the NHL, but there's only one. That's the thing. There can't be 32 best drafting team. Just saying the world, Dallas doesn't mean you have a plan. Are you hiring all their scouts? Is Jim Nill all of a sudden running your department? Like, no, they're still there.

Are you in Dallas? No. Where the taxes are better and the weather's good? No, definitely not Dallas. Dallas. Let me let me interject here really quickly because I hear you. I'm not disagreeing. I have more of a question, a retort.

Could you not do what Jeff Gordon did with the Rangers slash Montreal? Yes, you should be. So then there is a template out there. There is some sample size and not even look. You could look at San Jose. You can look at Chicago. You can look at Anaheim, but you can also look at organizations that maybe will call it.

And I'm not suggesting that Calgary is like that. But the Rangers, Montreal, the Rangers have a unique owner. We're called the word unique. Okay. So you probably didn't want to hear the word rebuild, especially with that market or whatever. but they put out a letter.

They put out a letter and said, pain's coming, but they were able to fast track it. They got Panarin. They got the goaltender. You're right. They ended up with some pieces to build around. Montreal, Jeff Gordon goes there, and they had some pain, but it's like, hey, you know,

I was thinking about it yesterday. He inherited some pretty good players. Like Mark Berger, for whatever people believe, you know, Berger got Nick Suzuki. He stacked that team, yeah. You know, there's a lot of Mark Bergevin's fingerprints on the underbelly of this group before, you know, the great work that they've done in Montreal. And they've done great work there.

I believe in Connie. I think it's more, like you said, Don Maloney comes out the other day. Keep in mind, there is a directive from the board, from ownership. And maybe that word is just a swear word to them. It is. Don't be childish about it. It just sounds so petty. Oh, we can't use that word because we're so high and mighty and profiting.

What are you talking? Grow up. Let's put our business hat on. The minute you use, and I'm asking Pinder, not you, Rhett, because you and I played for the team, but Pinder, the perception. If you use the word rebuilt or put out a letter or just say we're doing it and then you double down and you're talking about it all the time, what does the fan base do? Like did they not show up consistently? Will the, will the attendance shrink?

Will, like, these are legitimate questions I'm asking. I'm not know. I'm not in the no. Keep in mind, I played for the 2001 Calgary Flames where, you know, we had 10, 12,000 people in the building consistently, not the 20, the 19. So, you know, I'm asking you, Pender, If they come out from a business standpoint and say we're rebuilding,

what happens to the business structure of the fan base in that the pain that they endure, in the two years or whatever we're going to look at? Well, certainly for quarter four, Q1 next year and Q2 next year, your revenues are soft. But it would be incredibly short-sighted to not think that people wouldn't buy tickets to watch Keaton Verhoff, Gavin McKenna, or Ivar Stenberg. This organization has talks about themselves with an air of success and pedigree that doesn't exist. And the fan base cannot be sold hope with the group they currently have.

Your team might be worse next year, but at least you're selling hope if you bring in one of those top three picks. And so what I'm frustrated with, with Don Maloney's statements is that it seems to me, if you gave him the option of finishing 10th from the bottom or bottom three, he'd pick 10th for fear of ruining the quote, winning culture that he seems to think they have. And that just prolongs what they're afraid of, which is a rebuild. If you get a young superstar in this building next year, you're going to sell more tickets than you are to watch Nazim Kadri at 36, Jonathan Hubertow at 33, Joel Hanley at 35, Coleman at 34, Weiger at 32. These are all declining assets.

Acknowledge what you are. Look at the mirror. Look at the standings. Look back in the mirror. And understand you can make yourself so much better in the long term if you lean into this position you're in. Yeah, it's a great point, and that's why I wanted to listen to you. Now, let me retort. The names that you just said, name me that list again, Nazam Cadry, Blake Coleman, Jonathan Hubertow, Wigger, Hanley, are any of those, would you, if you had a

crystal ball and said four months from now, are any of those players missing from that list because they have been traded? Well, I mean, if you just read, Don Maloney's comments, Anderson's the only one leaving, and I didn't have them on my list. He said, we need more and Asam Cadry's not less. So that seems to me if he had his way, or he's lying through his teeth, but either way, he looks like a dope. You need to move Cadry. You need to.

Don't be holding the bag when he's 37 and he's not scoring 30. Yeah. Do my bigger concerns, Nuddles, and I don't know if Jack can find it in time. I just put him on the spot a little bit here. Two things I've brought up. The message is, so the message is no. good. Don't say anything if that's what you're going to say because it just doesn't sound good. And then the other thing is, who's driving the bus down there? Because there's a lot of guys in

management. And then there's this. I'll read it. I think he's asked about why Craig doesn't have a contract. I think he's been excellent in creating an environment, a culture of being here and proud to play in Calgary. His biggest strength is his relationship with the players, which is excellent. He cares. He knows they care. I think the first year was difficult with the number of good players we had at the end of their contracts. There were seven UFAs that year. A couple of those guys would probably help us right about now, but we got through it.

I think your two is strong, yada, yada, yada. But like, how could you be looking back at that? That comment to me says volumes that they would have rather, there is some belief, if I'm reading into this, that they would have just as been, they would have been just as happy to write it out

with the group that basically said they wanted to F out of here. And wasn't good enough. Yeah. You know what? Now, I'm paraphrasing and reading that quote. So what Don is saying is the success of the team hangs on whether Craig Conroy stays around or not. Like, am I, is that, is that wrong? But why does Connie Brownie brought it up?

Why does he not have a deal? What are they waiting for? How is this? I think that's a, I've been saying this. I think that's a miss. Now, maybe he has one sitting on his desk. Yeah, but then sign it and get it done. What are we talking about?

We shouldn't have as fans. We can only, I say this all the time. I don't know what a trade that didn't happen. I don't know what it, I don't have that information. I can only make my judgments and opinions based on what I see. And what I see right now is a GM without a contract with a whole bunch of other guys around them trying to steer this ship. And he doesn't know, they can't even. And if they have a.

contract, sign the damn thing. They could use a PR win noodles right now. Sign the damn thing. If you don't like him, kiss ass out too. I believe in Conroy as well. But if you don't, it's the same as any other GM. Why the F would you want a guy that isn't going to be there long term, writing this into the end of his contract and making trades that you don't believe in?

Fine, find another guy that's going to be the captain of the ship. But if he is your captain, give him his contract. Agreed 100%. You guys know I'm on team Conroy and I believe he should be there and given the full bandwidth to execute his vision. Do you worry about that?

Do you worry about Connie's ability to execute the plan that he wants to have? I don't if he's given the bandwidth to do it. That's what I'm asking. Do you think he has the bandwidth? I don't know because I don't know the inner workings.

Like you say, we're dealing with what's in front of us. Yeah. I believe Connie's done a great job. Has he had one hand tied behind his back because he's had... He's been swimming with an anchor. Yeah. Has he been doing that? I don't know.

I'm not privy to that information. But what I do believe is that he's a really good GM. He's created a good culture there. It's not a place where people are dying to get away from. and that says a lot. It took a while, and the only parallels I have of this, I've got two, and I don't know if they tie together, but remember Winnipeg,

it was like Paul Maurice left, and it was like, something's weird. They got a real team, but something's not right, right? And then Rick Bonas comes in and is like, when they lost in the playoffs, he was basically just sitting with a gun and firing bullets that going, something's wrong, this guy, this is like,

and it wasn't like, hey, we don't have a good team. It was something about the culture. And they seemed to get it right because Winnipega settled down and, you know. Adam Lowry. Yes, great leadership. But, you know, I know Chevy.

I played, I played pro hockey with them. I think Kevin Shevoldeufs, an unbelievable manager, very stable, hardworking, you know, it's created an environment there. I look at it. I look at the parallel with Connie. We all know them. We all love them, all of that. But I think Connie's created

this stable environment where his doors open. I don't think the players feel like they can't go to the manager and talk. Like I feel there's a real good culture that he's created. So here's why I want to tie it to Buffalo, not Winnipeg. Kevin Adams, by all accounts, like Buffalo, are they open for business? Are they not? I don't know what's going on. But is he allowed to make the moves?

Because I think he's a lame duck sitting there too. Right? So when you look to inquire about players in Buffalo, or you ask around, it's like, okay, well, is Adam's able to make all the decisions by himself? Because Yarmo's there now. They brought in Yarmou Kekalainen as a helper, as whatever he is, associate manager, whatever his title is. I don't have it in front of me. So, you know, with Craig here in Calgary, he's the guy. He's got a management team. We've got Dave Nones. You've got Peter Hanlon. You've got, who else am I drawn?

Brad Pascal and Don Maloney. Donnie and Brad Pascoe. And Donnie's above them. Donnie's the boss. So, you know, when you look at it, they've got a good management team that are they on the same page as Connie got the band? And you also have Iggy as a special advisor. So you've got good hockey people in there.

It's just, you know, are they all on the same page? And then the plan, is there a mandate from the owner coming down that they've execute. Like there's, these are the questions I would ask, but I look at it. I don't think it's, it's risen to the level to get a long-winded answer.

It's not risen to the level of Buffalo. Where I, I don't think Kevin Adams is able to make the moves that he wants, I don't know if they, but Kevin Adams, shouldn't be allowed. I'm coming back and I'm saying, Connie,

I think has a vision for the group. I do believe he can't execute. it getting back to your answer, Pender. But I just think he might have to do it the longer route around. And, you know, a lot of us are like the shortest point, but distance between two points is a straight line. Let's just do this. Yeah.

There are a lot of the factors we're probably not privy to. And that might be pressure from the board, expectations, all of these types of things. So it's like, okay, we're going to get there, but we're going to go this way. I think it would be an absolute pain in the ass to get anything done down there if you want my honest opinion. I think there's eight different directions and ten different people. And when you're walking down the hallway and you stop at Peter's room and he gives you an opinion, and I'm not discouraging their opinion.

I'm just saying that's a lot of people to appease. Ownership, Maloney, Nowness, we're getting all. It's hard to get everyone, are we having steak tonight? No, I want chicken. What a what about fish? Well, what are we making here? But that's the, in today's world, it's management team. It's not one guy.

Yeah, see, I, yes, but is that, is Zito, does he just pick up the phone and do what he needs to do? I don't know, because the stories I hear out of Florida, like I know, you know, Roberto Luong was a friend. Greg Cameron. Yeah, but they would have the, I guess you're right. Yeah, it's just, I feel like those guys are like, yeah, we're here to win. and we have a vision and we're all on the same page on what it takes. And there might be tweaks. That's too much salt and that's too much pepper or that's too much paprika.

But it's not a different menu. If I may, I think we're all kind of saying the same thing a little differently. It would be tough to say as a fan from what we're looking at without having any access to what their conversations are, to feel like Connie and what Don Maloney said are on the same page. Like Connie's actions look like a guy who's, preparing to turn over this roster and give it to younger players.

And he's done a really good job through the draft and trades to get into the spot they're at now. And then he heard Don Maloney speaking, you're like, well, this is the exact opposite. He's regretting trades, it sounds like. And now he's talking about winning culture when they've missed the playoffs three years in a row. And maybe the owner's a big part of that because Dawn stuck between the two. But it would be tough to look at this front office and feel confident that they're

in lockstep versus a Florida where it's like Luongo, Sunny Meta, a bunch of other guys with Zito where clearly they're all on the same page. that's the fear here. Yeah, you know, and it's a great point. The other thing I believe would probably put people's mind at ease is exactly what the start of this conversation is. Craig Conner is under contract. It's a huge PR win. And after a week of getting raked, it wouldn't be the worst idea. And listen, I watched Don's video. I had Don as a general manager a hundred years ago. I've known him for many, many years. I don't think he's extremely comfortable. front of the camera. Shouldn't be doing it. Okay, so then it comes back to that.

But really, at the end of the day, it's his job. I think he wanted to deliver some form of a message, whether that's the right message or not. You know, certainly it's blown up. Believe me, I heard about it five seconds after it happened. But at the end of the day, like, I just don't know if there's a, this is the wrong wording, if there's a disconnect between what they want to exercise. execute and what they're saying they want to execute.

I think there's a disconnect there. And that's where you guys are calling out going, we're not dummies. We're sitting here. We're watching it. So why not just say it? Don't talk down to us. It's a fan base.

But at the end of the day, I think instead of attacking it, like I would much rather look at actions and go, okay, are the actions matching what they're saying? Because the actions are really what, you know, they're not, you know, Connie's not doubling down

after three wins in a row going, you know, hey, I'm going after, you know, player X. I'm, you know, I think what it is is they are doing it the right way, whether the messaging from above is, is consistent or not. That's where I'm going to stand because I would agree with that. At the end of the day, at the end of the way, and we have said that. We said, how this is being portrayed and how this has come across is terrible. Still think they'll do the right thing. But at the end of the day, I still think February comes along and they're like, yeah, we're going to dump these guys because it makes no sense.

It might be sooner though. Like I think, whatever. Yeah. Like I'm looking around the league and outside of Colorado who's literally a wagon and can win any which way. Yeah. Everybody else has been lumped up. And then there are some teams falling, starting to fall by the wayside with injuries

and inconsistencies and stuff. But you might see some managers that are desperate and going, okay, I'll pay that price that, you know, remember what I was out. asking last deadline, I'm going to add another. I'm going to sweeten it even more because I'm going to, you know, give you what you want. Now, would you be more fearful on missing out? Like, I said before you came on, I said, pretty interesting that Vancouver has come out and said, we're listening. Yeah, memo sent out to 31 GMs.

The exact opposite kind of message that what's like. And whatever, again, if the deals happen, it doesn't matter, but it's who makes them. But if Vancouver makes it move and you miss out a move and, one of your guys because you're being stubborn. Like, is there any concern for that? Okay, so what, what are, are you talking on Anderson, maybe Heronic? Somebody grabs Heronik instead of Anderson? Yes.

Are you talking on, I'm talking about any of that stuff. I'm talking about it. Oh, well, we're not ready to listen to on offers on these guys. We're not actively because we've got a good core and we believe in these and we need more cadres. Wow. I know, but I think those are just words. every manager, like knowing, and Rhett, you talk to these guys,

I talk to managers every day. But it looks pretty idiotic if they trade cadre this week. Like, you look like a real ass wipe. But if you get your ass, I think everyone's okay with it. But then you go, then you know what you come out with your messaging and you go, we got an offer we couldn't refuse. I'm sorry, the things change. Or smoke screen worked.

Look how smart we are. We were playing 3D chess noodles. The minute you go open for business, the offer, that they potentially had on the table from a desperate team goes, oh, well, okay, if you're willing You don't have to take it though. You're right, but there is,

there is a business aspect of this where it's like, if the messaging around the league is like these guys are not ready to part with some of the players that could do. Okay, go ahead. Go. I get it. I get it.

But are the other GMs so stupid that they're watching what's going on? in Calgary going, oh, these guys are really committed. They're going to stick it out with that. Like, come on. I get it. Like, it's a game of chicken, but in the end, I don't. For us, idiots sitting around on their couch.

I get it, but I don't care as much because actions, like you say, if Donnie came out and said that the other day, and then all of a sudden today, it's like Craig Conroy has acquired, I don't know, he's doubled down and acquired somebody, a 31, year old set of men. You know, hey, David. I was in on David Camp and now we're in on, on, you know, Ryan O'Reilly. Exactly. Jonathan Marce is, so got to have him.

You know, he's going to teach Coronado how to play. You know, you're, you're, you're, you're, like, what the hell's going on? Actions I want to see. You guys know, it's lip service. We do it for a living. We talk for a lip service. I don't know how many times. And I'm guilty of this, but I'll say people in our business, I like to think I'm pretty

measured with my comments, but there are people in our business who aren't measured. And they're like a floating bag. You know what a floating bag is? Yeah, the plastic bag caught in the wind all over the place. And it's okay, there it is over there. And then it's come down over here and you're like, okay, so their opinions are like a floating bag. So one day these people are, you know, saying this about a player and next day, you know,

you get some, I'll give you an example in Edmonton. Trade Evan Bouchard. He gets three assists, three primaries the other night in Florida. Like, this guy's in a lead. You get analytical people going, look at him. Only Kail McCar has more than this. And it's the floating bag theory. So what I'm saying is if, if, if, if Connie continues on what he's doing and it doesn't match

Donny Maloney's words, so be it. At some point, they go, they go, hey, you know, this is where the direction that we've had. Give Conroy's contract, then. At least we've got that to. That's the overarching thing. Do I want to see Craig Conroy locked up to a long-term deal so that he can execute a plan and get this team with the new building and everybody excited in that? Absolutely.

But I'm on Team Conroy, like you guys know. So it's, I think it's probably, I'm hoping it's only a matter of time. Connie, this is the one thing. I'm around the league a lot. I'm in Vegas. I fly to Vegas tonight. I'll be in Vegas tomorrow. I'll be in St. Louis Friday.

I'll be in Dallas on Sunday. I talk to people throughout the league. Craig Conroy has a wonderful reputation. If he doesn't get a job here in Calgary, he's getting a job somewhere else. Put it that way. Okay, I don't know how much time we have with you, but I'm assuming it's only a couple of minutes.

So let's get to Vancouver. A memo sent to all the other GMs. Veterans available, they don't say it's Quinn Hughes, but come on. Are you going to have a fire sale and keep Quinn Hughes? Like, whatever. And then who's interesting to you? Because obviously Garland's a good player.

They just re-up them. Bester's a good player. They just re-upped him. There's some movement clauses in there. You also go one year of Evander Cain. Him on a bad team seems like a recipe for disaster for me. Like what are teams picking apart here? So I mentioned him earlier, Heronik. I think Heronic is a good complementary piece for a solid player. Like, you know, I think he's a stable defenseman.

Him and Hughes were wonderful together when he first came over and then he hit the ditch about the second half of that season. I like Jake DeBru. I'm a big Jake DeBru. guy. Just signed him, yeah. I know, just signed him. But again, you know, that's a guy that, that I think if, you know, if you are going scorched dirt, it's not like he's 22. He's 27, right? So you're getting somebody right in his prime and some prime years, right? I like Garland. When you're talking on short, shorter end of deals than that, I've said this, I've said it several times to the point where

Connor Garland came up to me when I was in Vancouver about a year and a half ago and said, I just want to say thank you for the nice things you've said about me. I call him a bastard to play against. Yes. Not big, but he's a pest. And I say that like a mutt.

But I love it. I watched him score a goal in Edmonton off of his face. He was behind Cam Talbot. It hit his face. And when the net. And I just like, this guy is the type of guy that you want in the trenches. He's not big. I even met him. You're meeting him face to face. I'm like, this guy is physically not huge, but he's, he plays with just jam and balls. Like, like, I just, I love the guy. And, and so that would be a guy,

a team would cover. Now, the team would have to have size. You know, he's not a big guy. I look at guys who play big, but they get pushed around still, he might get, you know, in a playoff series, he's fine, but you have to have big linemates. Like he, you can't be him, you know, like Edmonton can't go and get him because they're just, they've got too many small forwards there. They need more size. But I look at a team that has size that could add smaller skill with grit. He would be unbelievable. I really like Garland. But I think I would be picking at guys, like that that, you know, are consistently good. I like DeBrasque.

I like Garland. You know, he don't, I don't trust him. Health level. Yeah. Yeah, that's what worries me. I love Demko. Love the man. Love him.

I just don't know if I could keep him healthy. And that, you know, and a team would give up a King's Ransom for a number one superstar. Yeah. If you did pick him up, it could be, it's boomer bust. Like you could literally. He might be wearing a baseball cap watching you, watching your team play, or he might be front and center. So I think there's, I like Vancouver. I look at Nashville.

I watched one of my favorites, poor UC Soros get pulled yesterday. That team looks broken. I don't know what's going on there. Like the GM calls them out and they put a, Florida puts an eight spot up on them yesterday. I don't know. I know you got to go. A little bit more time. I'm good.

Brunette. Yeah. He was in Florida. He does a good job, but they let him go. Now they got Paul Maurice, and that's a pretty highly regarded coach, and it's worked out wonderfully for him, so it was absolutely the best move. But Brunette was a real up-and-comer. Yep.

You know, he did it. What's going on? Is there something in the water there? It's tough to lay the blame at the feet of a coach 100%. Obviously, everybody has to own it. He was asked in his postgame media yesterday, who's to blame? And he said, we all have to share blame. But Bruno's not out there, not blocking shots, not making, like, there were some brain dead

plays last night where I'm going, what is going on? And these are top, like Stephen Stamco's looks like a shell. Marcia's so. Like those signings have, I thought they were going to, that team was going to take another step with those signings. They haven't fit in the way that you've expected them to fit. It took a step back, noodles. Yes.

Yes. Yose they miss, obviously, because he's such a great player. But I look at it. I just, Forsberg doesn't look as sharp this year. I like this kid, Evangelista. But the chemistry in that squad is off. Something doesn't, they just look disjointed. I did their game in October, and I was like, they're just, they're a team. And I work with O-Dog, and he always, he has this saying, J-A-G,

Jag, just a guy. He goes, they got a bunch of just the guys in a jersey. Like, nobody pushes through special. So I look at it, like maybe Ryan O'Reilly would be coveted. I think one of those guys, whether it's Marcia's or Stamco's, maybe you could get them for pennies on the dollar and they could find a resurgence in a new organization. But I look at Nashville.

I look at Vancouver. I look at St. Louis. Some of these teams that are open for business, if we're calling them, calling those teams carcasses, there's lots to pick at. There's good players there. You're just got to put in the pit. We're going to let you go. But in closing, that's where the flames are positioned and the message is different.

That's their brother. That's who we're surrounded by. But you know what? I guarantee you that Craig Conroy's phone is ringing just as much as Barry Trots, as much as Jim Rutherford's. Who else? It's just the public message that's different. Yeah.

Like it's just the public message is. different and that's your guy's job to talk about it and be pissed about it in the fan base and believe me i saw all the reaction but i i just want to wait till the results come and then we weigh in on them yeah that's fair uh hellibucks four to five miles weeks yes sorry four to six weeks minor arthroscopic knee thing what's the level of concern you talked about how stacked the group is the gap between colorado and second is the same as second place to 25th like yeah you could be fine in that pack but be out of the playoffs. Scary for me because he's such a stabilizing force.

So I always joke, I would take 80% of Kipper before he put McLennan in the net. You know what I mean? And you're going to, you take Hellebuck and he takes him off of him, even if just, you know, he's going to come back and be fine or whatever. But I love Eric Comrie. He's just not, like he's not at the level of Connor Hellebuck every night. So now your team is different because Hellebutt once a game, whether you like it or not, makes these saves where it's like, man, that's just Hellebuck.

You know, he just makes a really good, timely save. He provides a stability. They play in front of him a certain way because of his mobility and the lack of it. He's just a big guy and he fronts pucks and they take away back door. The game is different in front of Eric Comrie. So am I concerned? Yes. I would love, if they could be 500 without them,

I think that's the win. It really is. And get them back and get him healthy and get them up and running. But Hellebuck is a big part of that team just from an image and a confidence standpoint. And that's no slight on Comrie. It's just, you know, I've been in that chair. There's Kippersoff. We'll take Kippersoff with one leg and one arm that we put in the other guy.

The other guy was all right. Boys rallied around you, Kip. The other guy's way better in media than Kippers ever. Boys rally, I can remember a game. We were playing Colorado, Joe Sack, all the boys. Locked shots. I remember. Daryl came in and said, that's how you're going to play in front of your buddy.

I remember, like, guys blocking shots, and I couldn't move my arms very much. And I just, like, we just grinded for, like, 10 games. It was awesome. And I think we were about 500. Like, I'd have to look at it. But we hung in there. That's stupid Rollston. and blasted that slapper.

I was in Boston the other day. I was BTSD about it. I was telling somebody to... Brian Rolston. He broke my sternum right here. I still have a lump there. It's awful. Son of them.

Send him a tab. Bastard. Thank you, Noodle. Always great. And we appreciate you allowing us to lie down on the couch and vent. Can you please just... Take care of yourself. You know, it's Vegas.

It's Dallas. I know. Your old stomping, I'm not going to do anything in Vegas. I'm going to Chris Pronger's Souse for Thanksgiving in St. Louis. Nice. So that'll be good. And then in Dallas, I'm going to probably have some fun because I like that city.

Okay, everybody. Thanks, sir. See, guys. All right. There's noodles. TSN. Sends color broadcaster. Overdrive.

Overdive, course. Invested in every company you've ever heard of. Friends of Nickelback. Speech giver. Like it went through Hannah. Did you? Homer Nicolbach. Look at this photograph.

A little good thing. Crystal Waters, plumbing and eating your crystal clear choice for home comfort column at 403-219. 4100. We get so wound up and start screaming, ah, venting and pissed off. I mean, and,

yeah, it's a very calm approach and a calm take that I think is right. That is don't take Don Maloney's words verbatim and, you know, think that that. that's the gospel, understand that they're trying to do messaging, it just was pretty toned off. And there's some mixed messaging because they haven't given Conroy's contract. Yeah.

And I think if you wanted a PR win and it is going to get done, do it soon. Be real good day for it. Yeah, because it's tough for the common fan to have confidence in this front office. And then Connie can take the boys out to the forge or somewhere Casa de Angelo in Florida or, oh, they're in Tampa. Well, they'll be Miami in two days. You've got to get this paper down. By the fellows.

Whales rib, close or too far away? Not high enough quality. Okay. Too much are going to dive? For Jack and you and me, heading to the beach and our bikinis and our speedos, excellent. Okay.

So more of the flip-flops and you might be wearing your board shorts, backwards hat. That's not a Connie GM contract place. Although they're allowed to wear whatever they want to the games. Do you think we're going to need any legal advice with all the runs we've taken at Domopo. I can't think that they're appreciating it down on Saddle Dome Way, Drive, Rise, or whatever it's called. Yeah, yeah.

But you could call us and come on our show and clear the air if you feel the need. Or prior to saying things, you should reach out. Fell, chill out, man, I've got to say something. there's ever any issues that do arise and you need a little legal advice though you definitely have to call mccloud law mcclough dash law.com if your long-term disability insurance claim you're getting screwed around by some faceless massive organization call peter he's phenomenal in that field he's going to get you the long-term disability insurance that you know you paid for noodles needed a roll and took the one t clap or in the chest maybe it's a litigation and dispute resolution that's jane king Austin Palado there with family law, everything. One-stop shop, they're Calgary based, they're great at what they do. Don't mess about. Get to McLeod Law because you don't need legal advice until you need legal advice.

And then you need good people. Yeah, don't do nickel and dime. That's an area you don't want to skip. Let's get the good people in. Get the good people. Okay. So a lot for the flames. It was funny that within six days of the flames saying,

Nothing to see here, the famous Leslie Nielsen, naked gun with the exploding boat. You ever watched Naked Gun Jack? It's too young. No, it's an amazing show. It is gorgeous. So the first one was the naked gun. The second was Naked Gun 2 and a half.

And then the third one was Naked Gun 33 and a third. It's so stupid. And that's exactly the new one, right? I think he do. Who's the actor? Liam Neeson is now. Yeah, but it was Leslie Nielsen, who was one of the great funny men that played the square guy.

Brilliant. So good. Amazing. Dumb. one of the movies he has to protect someone from a murder and he has to dress up as the umpire

in like a Dodgers game. Play up. It's so stupid. What were we talking about? So weird little sidegrey. Claims. Oh, nothing to see here.

Within days of that, they can actually, yeah, okay, there's the flag. Lots to see here. Lots of vets. Tink, tink, tink.

I just watched the game on. Yard sale. Tink, tink. We just, watch the game on Sunday and, yeah, we're going to, we're willing to sell. No reasonable offer will be turned away. Come visit us at Canucksyardsale.com. Well, you know old GM, Jim will absolutely.

GMJR. What's his name? Jim Rutherford. I mean, he's technically the above the GM. It's Patrick Galvin, but it's Jim Rutherford that, uh, he'll make a move. He's the head of the snake there, aside from the owner. Early and often, he does it a lot. All veterans.

upset Quinn Hughes, who definitely wants to stay here while we sell veterans. Why are you keeping me? I don't want a big deal with this. I want to tell you about outdoor dental. I have gone in and taken advantage of their cutting-ed technology. You were talking about energy in space and Elon and the future of things. They are not using the pickaxe, the chisel, the hammer. We're talking about the Salea laser.

Not only for dentistry, for the homeless, apparently. but if you can see the visuals. But also, they can help treat snoring issues. I went in two years ago. And what they'll do is they'll run the salai a laser across the soft palate in the back of your throat. That's the flappy thing in your mouth. We'll tighten it up a little, two 15 minute sessions. And you can tighten up that soft palate, less flapping, less snoring.

Been two years ago, great results. You can go in every couple of years, get a retitent if need be, recalibrated. Just like tightening lug nuts on a zonering. direct wheel. And yes, absolutely the place to be. Cutting Edge technology, Dr. Jay is the best. Outdoor. Dot dental.

For more on that, if you've got some kind of health insurance. You don't have to. You can go in for dental work. All the above. Outdoor. Dot dental. Right down in your neck of the woods by self-health. Cabas right across the street. Got the video game room for the kids.

Great for everyone. Oh, they had the trail mix in there. It went on time. I was so good. I played Mario 1 there. I was like, oh, this is such a banger of a game.

Man. Kids are playing like steal the brain rot or something stupid on Roblox. I'm like, I ain't they playing Mario. Like, come on. Get the mushrooms,

down the pipes, collect the coins, jump on the goombos. No much. Eat the flowers. Run full speed like a maniac. Come invincible. So that's a game right there.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do the Pinder report. Some deets coming out. We do it for our good friends at Village Honda. If you've been existing in Alberta for the last 48 hours, I don't need to tell you that it's a good time for their winter ready used SUV event. It is on now. You save thousands on pre-owned all-wheel drive and four-by-four SUVs. You think those are good things to have in? Yes. I think it's probably a must. Be winter ready. All makes models. Price to move. Selection is online at villageonda.com or just visit them in the Northwest Auto Mall. There's a lot of people with summers. I'm just getting mad. This is the sign of me getting old. I'm like, okay. I'm in full control.

It's in. Yes, I'm in a Honda Ridgeline with winter tires and all-wheel drive, but like you're clearly on summers. You don't need to be fish tailing here. You don't need to be going 20. Try to take off at the red light or at the green light. Not going anywhere. It's inconsiderate.

That's what it is. You know, it's the first day of the big snow and I got my summers on and I got a rear, real sedan. Maybe I'll head to that big hill. Come on, people. Be smarter. Smotting it up. Take a day.

Although the buses. You see a cement truck was one that spun around? Dominole rally. Don't get me going because it'll all turn political and I'll have to rip on the new mayor. Let me go, Gone deck. Outta boy, Nenshi. Let's go to flamesnation.ca.

An interesting piece popped up this morning where Flames and Rasmus Anderson, quote, not even close. Oh, no. On contract talks, that per Elliot Friedman on his Monday edition of 32 thoughts. There's more than one comment. Now I snapped this within moments of it going up at 8 this morning. I think that's good news for the Calgary Flames in the sense that when you read the Don Maloney,

which you should have kept those guys. Well, they were asking to get more than they should have got paid. And I think there's a number of the flames would be comfortable with Rasmus. It doesn't seem to appear near the number he would want this summer as a free agent that Kentucky. It's a right to defenseman. It'll be 30 next year. I wonder if it's changed from this week to, like, say, a month ago when he was terrible.

And like this week, he was first star of the... He's been better? He has looked good. If you're Craig Conroy and you can't control what's going on on the ice, this is a lovely development. Rasmus has played his best hockey in a while because remember, he played through the broken leg at the end of last season. It's been a really good month for Rasmus Anderson, and that can't help but do anything

but inspire more confidence in the team's looking at right-shot defensemen. There will be many. He's looking more like the... top pair right shot than the maybe he's a four like he's been quite good the offense is there seems to be a little more pep in a step he already always has that edge to him good development for Connie if uh don't mother poho lets him trade him do what do yeah right uh let's get to the schedule i believe that's next jack we talked about this three game swing red they've been doing this ever since covid covid they played that weird canadian division yeah there was like three and four

game sets like it was baseball or something. But every season since then, they've done the lightning, panthers and hurricanes, all in the same road trip. You want to know how it's gone? Or do you want to guess how it's gone? 500. Well, and I'm going to give you a little more context.

These three teams have all been wagons since COVID. And you're on the road, and you're two timesones away, and it's a long road trip. Here are the numbers. Last year, 02 and 1. 23, 24, 1, 2. and one.

22, 23, one, two and one, 21, 22. That's the year they won the West. They won the Pacific. 0, 3, and 0. 2, 9 and 1 in their last 12 visits to the old Southeast division. This has been a murderer's role. Now, they do get Tampa and Florida limping with injuries, but Florida hung the eight spot last night, as noodles, too.

Tampa's been playing well despite the injuries. And Carolina just feels like a machine. You know what they are every year. They haven't got over the hump. but they seem to be one or two in the division every year. Right? We don't even mention them. Oh.

Yeah, Carolina's good. We know that. Good. Oh, Freddie Anishens hurt again. Interesting. Yeah, but they're still good. Okay. No, they are.

That would be boring to cover them. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, there's some fun players there. They'd be funer if they had more fun if they had Miko Rantman. But that gentleman is staying open and two first. So we'll see. A tough stretch coming up to say the least.

Doesn't mean they can't win some games. games, but this is not at Buffalo, at Vancouver. It's a great setup because if you do win those games, well, now you've gone from three to six and now you're really rolling. You've got a six game heater. Yeah, six game heater and you're coming home and no one's going to be as good as you're going to go Florida and Nashville if you win these games because they're in Nashville in the way home.

That's a guaranteed win. Guaranteed dub, guaranteed Tutsis Legends. Where are they going? I mean, where we're It's not. They're going to Nashville. That was a trick question. You answered it properly.

What do I do in Vegas? You guys have any recommendations? Yeah, it's Vegas. Go out. Leave your hotel room. Everything's great. Okay, we'll keep moving. That roadie's a little scary.

The memes are meaming with Don Maloney. I love a good meme. The steak is by far the best thing on the menu, sir, and it's 100% the way to go. And there's Don Maloney. No thanks. I'll have whatever is just okay. Please.

Poor guy. I feel a little. bit bad because it's cheap shot really kind of it's the memes we have that petition that people started yesterday on change dot org now this there's more here's

this is from the windcallob.com at flames blog the line to shine through the window let me know everything's all right oh Jack did a movie that is oh that's the one where they go on the big family

road trip. They're trying to get to the amusement park. Okay. What's called? I'm not the movie, God. I used to like movies at one point. Now, I just watch sports and take my kids to arenas. Yes. And baseball diamonds in the song. Someone in the chair. What's this movie called? It's funny as hell. It does look funny.

Vacation. Yeah, that's if they do win this road. If they go 5 and O in the road trip and they come home on a seven game heater, that's exactly what this is. So close to McKenna, yo-y. Here's your bottom 10. Don't worry, flames fans.

embracing the tank, they are still second from the bottom by winning percentage. And yeah, there's still only one point back in Vancouver, but the Canucks have a game in hand. And honestly, if you're Adam Foote, there's got to be a better effort than we saw on Sunday night. That was embarrassing from the Canucks. I feel like Adam Foote is in it. Yeah, that's a tough group.

He had a banger of a quote the other day as well. I think they're last in the league and a lot of categories. Like, it's been ugly. and someone was like, oh, you're, you're expected goals and your expected goals against her, awful. And he's like, yeah, I just don't know about these advanced stats. I mean, some guy in Russia ripping darts, eating cashews, says I should be doing this.

Okay, bud. Like, he just completely discounted it. Which is funny, but the real stats he does understand also show they're not good and neither was their work ethic. Hammering cashews. That goalie sucks. Sorry, I should say it's rudely. I should be more like noodles and have a,

better professional approach to it. Let's try that again. Kevin Lanken and, what did you think on Sunday? He sucks. Okay, that's not any better. That's the same. One more try.

Now, Rhett, you caught the flames and Canucks on Sunday. What did you think of Kevin Lincoln? It could be better. That's okay, getting warmer. Hey, Rhett, it wasn't his best night. He's had some good performances. That was not one. Here's last night's action.

Tampa, despite all those injuries we talked about, blank the flyers. Vasilevsky, I think that's like career shutout 41 or something. He's quite good. A close one between the devils and wings. We keyed that as one of the better games of the night. The Mahmout handed it to Vegas. They're missing some bodies.

And Karel Vemilka, rock solid. 5-1 win there. Caps winners, Rangers do win at home. Dach, spanked on that one. This is the problem with all. Keep going, sorry. Florida hangs an eight spot on Nashville. They look completely checked.

After they get called out. Their GM said, I need bleeping more from them. And then I think they misinterpret him. They allowed more goals. Oh, shit. Sorry, Barry. Barry, you got to clarify a lot. Someone took your quote and they wrote it wrong on the whiteboard.

They thought they might give up more eight spot yousers. And the Kings Eke won out in the Jordan Spenceball 2-1. Kings have struggled at home. They put a lot on the road. That's just their second home one. But they're actually, they've been good on the road. They've only got two wins at home. They've been on the road a ton.

I think they played them and Emminton are two of the fewest home games. Here's the issue also for the flames. If they are trying to stick it out and climb. Who are you beating? Yeah, there's a lot of good. Like Nashville's maybe not that good, but the mammoth are good. Yeah, mammoths are good. Vegas is good.

Yeah, Vegas is good. They're not right now, but they're very good. They're healthy. Yeah, L.A. looks solid. Ottawa might be the best Canadian team. I didn't bring up the noodles, but Montreal's falling off, Toronto's and shambles, Winnipegues without hell about a month. I would love to get the Toronto.

He gets sick of talking Toronto, but it would be interesting for. The beauty of that one is it'll be there next week. That's right. They're not going. Even if they scrape a little win. That seat's getting warm. That is a comfy, plush, highly paid seat. It's getting warm.

They're not afraid to make changes if they don't like the way things are going. Yeah, I think they're in the north of 300 million U.S. revenue a year category. One or two or three or four or five for a GM, whatever. That's a rounding error. They want to make a change they will. They're not going to be worried about, wow, geez, our budget. How do we pay this guy to go? Our profits are only 150 million this nearer.

No, 153. They'll be fine. We'll see what happens. I don't know how he stick handles out of it. Well, he's got to get healthy and they've got to play better. Yeah, but who are they? Because I don't know that they can make the move that they want to make. You know what I mean?

I just, like Nick Waugh's hurt. They're missing their best goalie. Nick Waugh was a, it's a long list of random throw-in because they were hoping to save face in the Marner deba. Something is better than nothing. I do agree with that. But you're right.

He's not impact guy. We'll keep moving. Last thing in the NFL, we showed you. Why would you want to pick in the top three? That's a loser mentality. That's fantasy hockey. Don't say that word around me, Ryan. I won't stand for it.

There's another top three pick with a four goal night. Now, two were into an empty net from Logan Cooley, but he's really turning into an elite player. 10 million bucks a year they extended him. Maybe that's why they don't want to get high picks. They cost a lot of money on stairs. These superstars too expensive. Can you think about there's more than,

just wins so you've got to think about here. I get so key hold on wins, I'm sorry. This is the Vancouver note that we showed you earlier in the show. Frank Baum. Frank Sarvalley's suggesting that, yeah, everyone's available. They're not quite there with Quinn Hughes. If you watch what the players did with Erasmus Anderson last year and you look at the situation where Quinn Hughes is now, two playoff runs, a year and a half away from UFA,

not eligible to extend yet. They've got to move this guy before the deadline, don't they, for Max Valley? I would. I would. Like, it sucks. He's your franchise player, but you're going to lose it.

Look for your franchise. But, like, if you're a team that's, man, we're just one more left shot D and we really, we're just missing that one. Norris trophy left shot. Like, I'd give up three firsts. Oh, for sure.

Like, we're picking, 25 to 32. I get the second best defenseman. I'll give you a prospect too. Like, they could get an absolute monster hall for this. Oh, so if you really sink yourself into the...

You lean into it a bit? Rebiggle. Yeah. And then their draft pick will be higher this summer as well. When was the last time someone on his level was traded? Eichael was hurt, so that one was different. Marner was technically a trade, but it kind of was. like leaving free agency.

Yeah. But even those guys, like I would put like, Ranting in, but he had ran in for sure, good, good call. But again,

like he was either the rudder up for the Norris last year or like, I guess he wasn't healthy enough. He was healthier. Like he was, he was right there. Like he is an elite defense. He's a 27 minutes a night defenseman.

No, he's 32. He's a Hall of Fame. Jeez. Career defense. Yeah. And everyone says, oh, he's going to go sign and play with his brothers.

Just train him to Jersey. I'm Jersey. Well, we give you a second. We know we're getting them anyway. We can wait 18 months. We don't care. Someone will pay for a rental, though,

but as soon as you get past the deadline this year, well, we'd like him to extend. Well, we're not going to let you talk to the oil. Maybe I won't. I'm not going to go there and extend. Just trade him as a two-year rental as one of the top three defensemen. Trade them and retain.

I wonder what you'd get. God. You could retain, I suppose. There's only two years. Jeez. You get a haul. that might be the biggest return you'd see in a deal. Like, Randon and got them two firsts and a really good young player in Logan Stancova.

You get more for Quinn Hughes. Oh, yeah. And that was only a rental for rent. That was a rental for one year. Now, they extended them right away, but two years of Quinn Hughes, you could literally use that as your pivot point. Don't depress me. Sorry to depress you. I was trying to get a superstar out of Vancouver.

To come here? No, no. Connie. Go get the other. Go get a rent. The other two Hugheses, go get them. Then Quinn, Calgary, rebuild over. New Rick.

Let's go. Franchise valuations came out from one of these financial websites today. AI. Not AI. I think it was CNBC or something like that. The source probably isn't super important so much as that the numbers may not be perfectly accurate. Not all teams are for sale, but these are lists that they do every single year.

here are your most valuable franchises in the NHL. Leaves at number one, no surprise. Rangers number two, no surprise. Habs number three, no surprise. Kings. That is your first non-original six team to crack. The number five is the big surprise. And the Oilers, no surprising at all.

You got Connor McDavid selling jerseys. Hang on, Jack. You got a brand new rink. And you've got people mortgaging their children's future to watch them lose to Florida in the finals. It's a good way to make money. Up 17% from last year. That must be the Conner.

A great investment. Should have bought them. Should have them, Rhett? Would they have the 30 guys, the local businessman? Yep. And then Kate's got Bob Stauffer to tell everyone that Kate's was the guy that should buy him. And then away we go. Something like that.

I can't remember how it was. Where the flames fit? Well, not like the standings most years. It's right in the middle, right? No, 17. That's, yeah. Now, here's the thing. They are not in a new rink.

New rinks you charge more for the same beer and more for the same seat to watch the same team. That will jump a ton when those gains are realized in the new arena. It's still a nice time. If people want to buy tickets, friends, would you want to go watch the flames and buy a Gavin McKenna jersey and spend 15 bucks in a beer, 20 maybe? Yeah. You know what?

Don't be Chicago back in the early 2000s. What did Chicago do? Talk to me. They were rude to their fans. They wouldn't play the games on local TV. That's right. They were, and it was just like.

This was like the Arneson Dazza era, right? Yeah. This was before they bottomed out and got the Keith, Taves, Seabrook. Yes. Oh, God, they're good for a while. Rerey. So the Flames, Samish, right between Tampa and Minnesota. Interestingly, Colorado worth less than Carolina.

That surprised me. I don't know. Maybe the TV deals are there. How do you evaluate this? Well, they would know more than we do about local TV rights and what a ticket goes for, blah, blah, blah, blah. Colorado is actually, I think, It's a bit like a

smallest city that has all four major sports when we're talking NFL, NBA, NHL, and Major League Baseball. So there's probably a more competitive marketplace for the sports dollar. Either way. Bottom, who's at the bottom of the barrel? It's like a trade too.

It's what people will pay for the franchise. Right. That's true. Columbus at the bottom, only 1.4 billion. That's probably... 3% year over year? Yeah.

Oh, shit. I guess the floor has come up. And in fact, look, all these teams are... I'm pretty sure Pagoole about the Sabres for next to fucking nothing. Probably just took on some debt. 1.4.2 billion, Terry, if you don't want to deal with this loser franchise anymore, you get your bills, your hero there with the bills, people are mad at you the Sabres, sell them and they'll just love you.

What does the percentage mean? That's how much it's gone up year over year. Oh, okay. And again, what you'll see when franchise values rise, like Tampa sold recently, you've got an expansion fee in Seattle. They're floating out two as an expansion franchise for a future payment to be made. The bottom has come up big time.

And even look at Utah way up, they bought that for what, 600 and change out of Arizona where it was a disaster. Is that 40% from last year? That's correct. Wow. And that's just telling you that the entry price to get into the club has gone up.

Yeah. So if I just. want the cheapest membership possible. That's Columbus, but guess what? A lot of people want to buy these teams. We're asking more than we did last year. One billion last year, 1.4 this year. Nice, 400 million dollar.

And all the other billionaires out circle. God, God, I want to get into that clubs. Give me one of those. I need, well, I've got enough Rolex and art. I need a team. I got collector cars. I don't even drive. Give me a team to cheer for.

Let's go. Interesting numbers there. The real fascinating one will be flames year over year, when they get into the new facility. Yeah. And if they have a superstar, like people will buy their chairs. So 1.9 today in three years?

Three or four. That would be a good time if you were an owner. Murray. Uncle Murray. How much? Make you a deal before it goes to three. Yeah. I got a couple hundred I can put in.

Okay. I got some Breach stock I haven't checked in a while. Maybe I'll sell that and move it into this. Don't dump that. It's ready to bounce. the dead cat bounce oh it's coming tonight's games well there's only one look at this all eyes in the hockey world on the stars and the oilers okay we've seen interesting results from both the sabers absolutely pushed around the oilers last week then they win in florida okay mixed messaging stars been very good this year only five regulation losses but

one of them was to the flames on saturday devon Cooley, earning both those points in my opinion. He was outstanding. He was good. Good for cool. So we'll talk tomorrow about what they'll do with goaltending on the road trip. Big game tonight, if you like prospects, and you should, because the flames are in the business of collecting them and they've been doing a pretty darn good job of collecting prospects. They've got two first rounders this year as it stands.

They'll try to add more with the move of Rasmus Anderson and potentially others. It's not crazy to think they could have five, six first rounders the next two years if they actually embrace selling veterans. Go watch some of those kids. Go watch some of the kids. I'm going tonight. 6 o'clock. It'll be a hell of a match.

These guys get wound up. At the dome. The damn Americans, they're all whining about the, the thin air. Yeah, that's right. Then they'll go down to Lethbridge for the windy air. Yeah, fast moving air.

Although in the rink, the wind's not as bad. I've noticed. Prove it. I can't leave the doors open. Screw with him. Tons of fun. My buddy, Jay McKee, helping coach that squad. Good. Get them going. Jeez. Let's go.

Cammy, who hosts Afterburner, said, Pender, are you talking about this thing tonight? I said, yeah, I am. She said, do you need any tidbits? And I said, well, hell yeah, I always love tidbits. Oh, she said, Daxton Rudolph, the lone L. Burton. They don't lose hockey games in Prince Albert, apparently. A giant A-rated right-shot defender for Prince Albert, as you note. Ethan Belchitz will go high in the draft.

also Ryan Lynn out of Vancouver right shot offensive defenseman I don't know if the flames are shopping for one of those with Perrek but he will go very high in the draft lots of good players Carson Carl's a massive farm boy climbing less quickly and Lynn apparently has been helping Michael Bublay

on the property brothers I don't know what that means but uh really Bubli's part of the ownership group of the Giants Lynn plays there they're having fun off yeah it's good tonight and tomorrow Calgary and Lethbridge go watch the prospects. I'm going to try to wheezel my way in. What do you think?

You're going to weasel your way in? You're pretty good at that. Yeah, I'm going to weasel. I've already got the grease laid out there. Someone's falling into my trap is. I've been to check my phone since we started. Let's go to the NFL where we get to dig into Jack's fears and panic. Here's a quick look at the guy the Steelers traded and all the other guys they've thrown the ball to this year, Rhett.

George Pickens, 1,054 yards. What do I, George? Hey. All of the Steelers, a thousand and 82. This gets more depressing every single week. This dude is like a top five receiver this year. And so the question is, okay, Dallas, you added him. Can you afford to resign him?

Now, he seems like the perfect piece to put next to CD because you can't cover both of them, pick your poison. But do they have the cap to get it done and what kind of pieces would they have to part with to make it happen? That seems to be the rub here. We get to see them tomorrow. They're part of that three-game slate. Kansas City, Dallas. might have sound like a lopsided affair early in the year.

It might be real good tomorrow. I think all the games are good tomorrow. Yeah, Cincinnati, Baltimore will see, but Green Bay, Detroit I'm excited for in the morning. This is the afternoon game. You're not staying at my house for the last game, whatever. No, I'll leave before the last game. I'm going to sleep for,

there's a little break between the first and the second game. Pass out. What's the first game, the Lions? Lions and Packers. That's a good one, too. Both teams that we thought would be a little better than they've been, but still at times look dominant. We'll see.

divisional game. Finally, some dumb stuff, and this is going to irk Rhett because we know Rhett loves his bike lanes, but someone in Australia, not a fan. What? No way these cunts have an escort to go riding bikes at night. Fucking hell. Pack it up and go home, you stupid cunts. Fucking hell, mate.

I'm with that guy. That's okay. Jeez, that night, there's no much traffic. did the escort. That's what he was now. Do you guys know anyone that's like a hardcore biker? I wouldn't hang out with them. As soon as they brought it up,

but you're a little. You and I have nothing in common and you're a loser. And you know what? I know some people that do some big long rides for charity and that's great and they'll train and stuff, but I just can't bring myself to buy a $10,000 bike, throw myself into spandex and then go ride next to vehicles going 130. Not into it.

But those who like it, love it. Yeah. Go be you. Be your best you. Now, we miss national either guacamole or avocado day. What? Don't you have alarms for these? I had guacamole yesterday.

But here's the good news. This guy's making up for it. He's got avocado day sorted for us. This is going to be really tough. He's got the axe. That's how you were going to celebrate, right? How desperate are you to get famous? Look what you're doing.

You've got avocado all over your face and you're juggling an axe. I'm like Shrek. I don't know. We need that guy for the Christmas show. No, that guy walking around with an axe. Are you crazy? No. Peak entertainment.

Entertainment. Someone will lose a limb, but it'll be worth it. It's not even, he might flip out at one point. We'll all be dusted. He looks really rational. Yeah, no, I don't think so. We would need Captain Ron from the fire halds of there to protect us. Yeah, we didn't probably not.

a bad idea. That is your pinned report for this Tuesday, November 25th of this year 2025. Village Honda, huge selection of used vehicles, over 90 on site and access to more than 500 in the dealer group. Make Village Honda your one-stop automotive destination in Calgary. Worth the trip online and again in the Northwest Automol, your dealership for life. Just because you brought up the year for all you idiots. And there's lots of us. I'm in on this. We're all,

2025, right? We're going to have one hell of a year. Yeah, yeah. Could be the best ever. Sure. Quarter century pull kind of thing. Yeah, 2025, let's go get this.

How's it going for you? There's only about 36 days left. You're going to pull the socks here. It's coming quick. You know what happened yesterday in our house? It's the 25th. And next month. A month from now.

The 25th. It's a big day. Yeah, I think. The guy you said should have been on those semi-glutides. He's coming. You call them a fat prick? You should get on the needle. The Christmas music was pumping.

Oh, we've had it on for a week already. And I know that it gets you in a lovely mood and all that. But what I find, and this is just me personally, I can't do it for seven weeks. Oh, there's too much fatigue. It's a two months. So eight weeks is, but at what point are you like, this is ridiculous?

Or could you literally play it year round? No, not year. So because there is a fatigue. there is a fatigue. I can't hear Bubli's Christmas sweater for the 18th time in a week. I'm going to kill someone. I'm going to grab that action

the avocado guy and come right at the DJ. I can handle about three weeks. So I'm not there yet. Wife's totally in. I'm going to go to the prospect game tonight. You need to get out of the house. That's what I'm doing. I'm going to watch prospects.

Ryan Lynn, let's see what you got. Jack, what's your Christmas music quote? What do you know? Well, you're going to get me some of you have. whatever you need. Okay. I won't have any Christmas stuff up or anything going. You're Scrooge McDuck over there.

Now you're depressing. I like Christmas. You're looking for sympathy. Not that hard. Step that up. Take that axe from the avocado guy. Go to the park. Get a tree.

Keep some water under the tree. You're not down trauma. Okay, Ryan, when you lived by yourself at my age, did you decorate the house, the apartment? I wrote Christmas cards and sent them to everyone I knew. He has a point. but I think I would arrive for Christmas somewhere. Because you always get breaks around Christmas.

So are you at least going to, you know, like, what, your mom's going to come to town? The family will come into town and set it up. Are you, are you got gifts? You're marked for your, your mom, your sister. It's a big week, black Friday this week. I haven't done anything. This is a shopping week. I got my dad's taken care of.

Is that early or? Yeah, we had to transport it. That's right. We had to wait for your stupid bag at the airport. How'd that go? Jack looked like he was working for six months. 80 liter backers. Good thinking.

All right. It is that season. I've got the calendar that you hate. Love it because it's like a Christmas party every other night. The problem is too many of them stack up on the same day. Like the 18th is a nightmare. It's Friday. It's a week for Christmas.

I got three. I can't make three Christmas parties. It's not possible. Friday the 18th? Yeah, but isn't that our party? Ours is the 19th. I was talking. about the Thursday. So yeah. Oh, so you'll be

useless for ours because you'll be overcooked. No, I'll be great. We're getting right back on the bike. It's like a Caesar early the next day. It's not a hangover if you don't stop. Are you bringing to a bartender? You want the same bartender? Yeah, bring him in. Did I annoy that guy? The elf? He loved. He loves it. He's a fan of the show, too. I think he was getting invoice me, but forgot. So that worked out okay. I got the parent party. You got the hockey coach party.

Parent party. And I got the fantasy hockey buddies party. I try to avoid him. coming to the fancy party at the fancy place with the fancy people? Come on. That's a party of the year. That doesn't do fancy parties. Yes, he does. I've seen him at the fancy party. Put it in the chat the other day. He doesn't do fancy.

Friend bus full? Fancy's for flu-flu. I don't, you're going to have free drinks. You get a DJ? I'll wear whatever you want me to wear. Some of those people annoy me. Yeah, some of them are awesome too, though. It's true. I actually like a lot of them.

You know what it is. Can I be a dick? Yeah, when the annoying person comes in, Sorry, I'm just running to the roster. I'm just, you know what? You asked if you're getting old about the bike lanes. Maybe I'll just be the old guy. I'm like, I actually don't like you.

So don't. The other key move is you post up in a corner with the huge crowd in front and people can find you for the day. Because they love to crowd around me and look. Well, then the annoying people can corner you to you. That might not be ideal. Maybe it's the emergency exit you need to be near. I actually might go this. You'll be so tired.

Oh, stop it. You're up at five driving a. the airport the other day. Sleepy. Home show, Jack, for the drinking show. No, you got to come in. We'll have more details on that. Also, it's out on the socials, our top shelf elf annual Christmas charity in support of Closer to Home and their

incredible Christmas campaign. We will be supporting again. Auction times are starting to show up at nationgare.ca. Bids aren't open yet, but if you want to do a little snooping ahead of time, there's lots of great stuff in there. More will be added as we go because you've seen how we roll and how it's gone the first three years is your four. And I think probably looking around 60 to 80 grand we've raised, not us, but you,

the people bidding on these great auction items. So feel proud. Take a look. All the wonderful things. Yes. Of course. A big thank you's to those involved. And if you do have something you think is going to be awesome that you could donate

We either win or we learn. Oh, you're winner. That's a new redism. Can we get that, you know, those inspirational posters where it's like Mount Everest? I don't know if I came up with it, but that's, I've heard somebody's. I think you should trademark that. I usually say, you guys suck. You only win or you?

Learn. Boy, doing a lot of winning or lured. They learn a lot. It doesn't stick short term memory loss. It's a win or a learn if you're heading to the hearing loss clinic. They are the best of what they do in the city. And again, not just people longer in life, longer in the tooth that are affected by it, kids.

uh, Nope, nothing. Still got the plumbers crack. Yeah, right. Just take a day, bud. What are they filming in there? Well, I think they're going to throw together a little piece. As cracks.

I think the crystal guys are fine, but Dean's going to try to help us. Hey, oh, hey, hey, don't look directly at the... Don't look directly at the clips, sir. Use one of these filters. Get that crack out of there. Sounds like we're doing garage heater installation at Booms Place. We'll have some video of it. And again, do you want a frosty vehicle or do you want a man cave and a warm car?

You know who makes what enjoys that? The shoveler. It makes the people in your life happy. And when they're happy, it's a better existence. Yeah, we're not even in close to the teeth of winter. Like, if you're chilly at minus five here, which is a minus three zero rolls in on you. Get that heater in. Oh.

So big shout out to Crystal Waters. Thank you, Crystal Waters. Appreciate it. Keep a boom. Occupy. Also busy roads today. I'm sure they played no role for the boom cat as well. We'll revisit our football picks tomorrow because, of course,

we want to make sure that boomers 13 selections. He's here to see how the wins. So he can gloat it. He can audit it and gloat about his five-year-old. I think he had like four pushes. Yeah, he's another 500 for sure. I went opposite Georgia and got totally screwed. We'll get into it tomorrow.

But Retz bets today for our good friends of Bet, 365. Oh, yeah. Never boring with Bet 365. Never, ever ordinary, whether that's game props, player props, totals, money line, whatever your bet, never ordinary at Bet365. Download the app and get in the game. Must be 19 or older. Rets, bets, Reds bets.

Oh, my good Lord. Look at this parlay. Add a couple legs and jacks in. Essel and Lendell, two block shots. Alex Petrovich. That was the guy. Because I'm a shot blocker. That's right, you are. Yeah. Block shots. Mayor Hayes could have blocked shots. Leon, two shots on net. Robo, two shots on net.

Don't mind it. Plus 525. Like that? Ram it all together, a five leg parlay plus 525. It's a lot, but it seems achievable. Dean's unit plays about five bucks. I don't want to tell stories out of school, but he'll be mentioned that on the show. Are we putting a green bell, red bill, brown bill, looney.

I definitely have a bigger unit than Dean. Okay. As expected. So there, there we are. Lunch on Rett tomorrow when these all hit. It's going to be good. These don't have to be your bets, but it is the only game in the NHL tonight in Edmonton.

Oilers coming back off the road trip. First game back. But they did just beat the Panthers. But they did just lose to Buffalo. Not sure what I'm getting out of the Oilers. I like Dallas on Saturday. They just got Devin Kooli. Cooley was great.

It has been great. It's been very good. We're good. We're good. Robertson's been on a hot street. Yeah, he had a couple of snipes. I think he would have had 17 points in 10 games coming into Calgary. And then I think it was a high pick.

Oh, but that's Dallas. They can just pick anywhere. Great. That's the Dallas model is you only pick the good players. Rather than go up to the podium and say the name of a bad player, you're just a good one. That's a good philosophy. Everyone should be doing it.

I like that. Surprised more teams aren't the Dallas model. Jack, what do we got for Super? Is you got any horns over there or what? What's the story here? Got have some horns. Let's see what I got over here. Yeah.

We don't have the things there They don't look plugged in There's no power Oh that's the wrong It's horn That's a horn that's fair No that's a drum That's not horns

One more try And that's what's got me feeling really nice I like that yeah The Super Chats make it feel nicey some days We collect the money We take it to the youth centers of Calgary Improving the lives of at-risk youth In our city

Giving them hope A safe place Healthy food Friendship and yeah, maybe it's basketball in the back yard on the sport court. They had the flames come by, do some skating outside with them recently. Great place for young fellers. Tim's first.

Oh, my goodness. This is the wrong day for Dean, not to be here. Happy birthday, Tim Jackman. Thank you, Colby Nelson, who's been literally waiting on this for months and it's been in his calendar, I'm sure. Where to go, Colby. 279 for the kids. And we get a Tim Jackman, happy birthday. focused on the important.

Oh, it's belated. What do you know? Drop the ball. Call me. Put an alarm in your phone. Recan alarm nacho day and cheeseburger day. You can do this too. Pepperty pizza day.

I got all kinds of days. Miss Guacamole day. It's your fault. Every day is quackamole day. Not a bad point. Next super. What do you got? Don't say that's it,

Jack. There we go. Richard Braley, 1424, 10 bucks. Brock Besser could be a nice addition, whether he's available or not. I don't know, but they might be willing to dump anyone at this point. I think Brock Nelson's a guy that a contending team would love to add. He's got a lot of term left. He

scored a ton last year. He makes seven and a quarter until 2032, which I don't think that's going to be. The money's not a problem. If you look at the going rate for snipers, like Alex Tech's going to make way more than that. I don't know that I wouldn't put him in the same box. good players, maybe fringy stars, not superstars. Get a guy hot, scores a bunch. If you're talking about bringing them here. No, here doesn't make sense. I hope that's not what old Dick Braley's trying to say.

Yeah, I, here's the thing, Brock's 28. When's this team going to be good? In three years, four years, five years. Winning culture aside, yeah, they're 31st in the league. So do you want Brock at 33? No, I don't want them. But if you're the New Jersey Devils or you're the... They'll take Sharonovich, go get him.

Yeah, I'll do that too. They turn around. They turn around. That's what I'm going to do that. Also, Brock's got the full no move, which will be interesting until 2930. And then that list drops. He wants that a lot of there.

So I've had my fellow sushi. I'm good. Good fellas. Ryan Cliff, 4988, coming in with 699. I agree with Ryan. When the flames rebuilt in 1216, or sorry, 2012 to 2016. They average over 19-2 a night.

Yes, fans will watch. I agree. I do agree with Ryan, but there are some, there's some caveats in there. They made the playoffs in 1415. But yeah, it was exciting.

You had Chuck enter over that period. You had Bennett as a high pick. You mind Goddrow in the fourth round and then saw him make his debut the last game of 1314. Bob Hartley's findaway flames, all the comeback wins. I have to remember these years. you're nerd

nerd nerd nerd alert it wasn't a full rebuild the whole way but I get what you're saying there was a young core that the fans were excited to watch and I agree Ryan it certainly wasn't only Yokanin and Jay Bobes

correct and that was 2012 when they started to tear it apart I don't want you to get mad at me but they true late Iggy and Jaybo and basically you got a late for that rebuild a pile of magic beans what's the attendance like right now

can you imagine if they'd have traded those guys earlier for more? I can't imagine it and I'm suggesting they do that with Nazam Kodry and Blake Coleman. That same mistake.

Yeah. Any more, Jack? What'd you say? I was just wondering what the attendance is right now. I'm going to see if they

still publish it on ESPN. I would think they're in the 17s. It's not sellouts every night, but most of the upper and lower bowl are in good shape. You really see the big games versus the not like with Montreal to come.

It's the 300s are full and versus not. And that's fine. For revenue wise, those are your cheapest tickets anyway. See if a, can find attendance. NHL. No, they're not publishing it anymore.

We should care. Olivier. I like a good, tough guy. Blackfoot 27. We should get Olivier. Tough guy like we got. Olivia's really good. He also scores.

He's a third liner, not a fourth liner. It's very tough to get out of there. He just re-uped them last year. I think he's a three or four-year deal. Poor Alex Galantka. Man, it's a tough way to make a live in HL-only deal. I've never seen him get dropped like that. And he's the HL belt holder.

and he got C-Oed pretty good. That was ugly. He's handed out a bunch of those. That's, he understands the business. Yeah, kind of M-O. Is this? All right, let's chuck. Doesn't mean it's fun.

I'm going to pull up Matthew Olivia, just so everyone knows. Don't worry about it. We're not getting Matthew Olivia. No, you're not. I'm going to explain them. T.H. Come on.

Jack, is there anymore? Well, he does this. No, that's it, Red. Got Matthew Olivier, come on there. He, for me, it's him, Nick DeLoree. Those are your two guys that can play enough and can scrap. The Rempays and the Reeves,

it's like, I don't know, there's not going to be a fight tonight, maybe we don't dress them. But if you want someone that can play the game and dance with all the heavies, those are the top two of my list. Yeah. Quite good at what they do.

That's, Olivia just signed a six-year deal at three a year, 18-mill. Who! Wow. That's even longer term than I thought. and I knew we got some term. He's 28.

So he'll be locked in through his 33-year-old season. Goodness gracious. That is great money for a tough guy. Work his ass off to get it. Last year, 18 goals. Goodness. That is Chris Simon-esque. Rest of peace.

30. Yeah. I played with Peter Ball and Drew. But like, if you're flooring with 20 goals and you literally have people pooping their pants on the other bench, that's a unicorn. goodness. Thanks for the Supers. If that's it, that's all.

That is good. We'll send all that money that you said there's Calgary. Jack, I was a show today. Pretty good. Jack, have we heard from Boom yet today? No.

What are you think? You missed your boy? What's the problem here? Whatever, Jack, you beat you. Take that personally. Do you eat yesterday, Rat? I did yesterday because there was a we had some fancy pants in town.

Oh, tomorrow. Sam it. Saving it up for Thanksgiving. Prospects game tonight, 6 p.m. at the dome. Lethbridge tomorrow. Jack, put up some mistletoe in your house and cheer up, you grumpy prick. Get some egg dog in you.

Yes. And we'll see you tomorrow, buddies.
