here we are how we doing everybody there we are look at sly you got sly back in the background looking sharp it's the belt you have to uh do you have to like lotion him up every day or how does that work i actually wipe him down every day it's something i think that the cutout actually has pores in it that are leaking chrisco out of it it's uh very greasy and impressive for it oh yeah do you have chrisco in your house no no it's a joke that uh old people would only get. I don't know that a young Jack would even know what Chris is. I have Crisco. Do you? You're big butter guy. Chris go the same as Tenderflake? Is it all just lard? Lard. Yeah. Okay. Well, you're

cook. You're a baker. Like fat, right? That's what it is. It's just kind of fat, purified fat, right? Yeah. Shortening. Criscoe is a brand of shortening. shortening. It was the first shortening to be made entirely of vegetable oil. Blub. So what is Tenderflake? Because Tenderflake is lard then, right? Lard is better than you.

I think Tenderflake is also shortening, but flame you, idiot. Flake. I'm not sure. You know what you're talking about. Either way. No. Tender flake is large. Tender flake is lard.

And I would think that the tender flake is better for you than the other stuff. The shortening. So are you a butter over margarine guy? 100%. Don't have any margarine in the house. Pinder, I'd really be curious. Your thoughts on this top. Don't have margin, very much butter.

The, what? Things getting real tight right now. after, you know, we're in terms of what's allowed in the house and what isn't. You're going to watch this and that, and is this organic, and what about that? Is this grass fed? The three, three.

The grass fed, it should watch sacred cow. It's a great documentary, and they discussed the grass fed thing and mentioned that the issue with the grass fed is that once you ingest it, all of that positive grass fed

that you paid extra for it's just it doesn't all the benefits all the benefits are basically erased what you should do is just eat grass yourself

and then when you get sick of that then go get a steak you like grass yeah be like a dog eat a bunch of grass and pukebrains speaking of grass how was everyone's

yeah oh still high 420 yeah yeah Should get into those pocket fives, do you know, or what? No, I didn't get into any pocket fives yesterday.

I probably could have, should have, perhaps. Yeah, no, it did not get into any of those. Friday, it's the Tower of Chrysler studios, all separately together here for the Friday program. Tower Chrysler. See, I was going to say, get your tire changes, and get all that figured out. And of course, snowing in Calgary today.

Cursed it. Yeah, book it though for like a month out. Yeah. A bucket for July. You'll be fine, I think, by then. Get a couple months of summertime. And then while you're there, just get a rush down to tower. Put the winters on in September.

You get two months of summers here. Is that about right, Rhett? July, August, that's it. Going to snow every other month. I don't know. Last summer was about as nice summers you could hope for. It was beautiful. It was good.

If I remember correctly. when I went to Sask. It sucked. They aren't long, though. It's not a long summer. Farmers are going to be wound tight. Hey, Dean? What's happening?

I heard the roads are all closed in eastern, Saskatchewan, Western Manitoba storms, and highways are shut down, and the farmers should be start seeding. Oh, boy, oh, boy. So last night on the broadcast for Jets and Golden Knights, Horn sounds, Vegas has squared off the series at one.

Next game, they're expecting a white out in Winnipeg, which, you know, the fans, and 10 centimeters of snow for game three. That's definitely when I had heard Winnipeg in April. Yeah, it's potential. And the thing about that is it's not just snow. It's the blowing and everything. Oh, yeah. So the cold potential, yeah, highways shut down a full on winter storm, which is perfect as the NHL shifts its focus to Winnipeg. I say, do you live in igloos there?

Is that what happens in Winnipeg? No shit, no one ever wants to play for the Jets because it's the shits. Speaking of the shits, they were the shits last night. Winnipeg, solid first period, and then they were trash for the remaining 40. Rets, Jets, lose on the road and return home tied at one.

No, were they bad, or did Vegas finally start looking like Vegas in the final 40? That's kind of... You tell me. I just stayed. I was a... I was asleep. I was smoking a pinner.

I don't know what the hell was happening. No, I can, I can tell you, I was not smoking a pinner or asleep. The jets were shit in the final 40. Okay. And it's kind of unfortunate because Helibuck was playing really well. Made that unreal glove save, if you saw it in the first period, took one right off the fucking mind, got busted open by Eichel, and he's playing his balls off. And then the game just slowed right down.

It was just, eventually get to the blue line and then stop and then wait for everybody to catch up. And then it was a very lackluster 40. And I guess, yeah, you open. Now, I'll say this, the Golden Knights to start the second period because it was, they were not good to start. No. They were very good to start the second period. They poured it on, but then the jets just laid down. So again, the refrain seems to be there's that Winnipeg team we watched for the last two months, just blah kind of an effort.

Yeah, shots were 17-8 after 20 minutes in favor of the Jets. And you're thinking, okay, Vegas, you've played four periods. You've only had 25 shots in four periods. You look like shit. You're at home here and you're staring a two-oh hole heading into the blizzard in Manitoba. Like, get your shit together. And yeah, then things swung the other way. got fucking 31 shots in the final 40 for Vegas.

So both teams did the flipy floppies there. Yeah. You look at the names on the Winnipeg side. That tells you everything you need to know. Uh-huh. That sure does. I'll tell you what. Mark Schifley,

I, he shouldn't have played the third period. He was atrocious. That one. Not contributing, but actually a detriment went on the ice. Yeah, I think it was the Stevenson goal.

He loses the draw, doesn't pick up a guy. He's kind of got his stick on, I think it was Stevenson, or stole, whatever. Brutal effort for Shifley. It's, I don't know. It'd be very hard to watch your number one center play with that little emotion. Yeah, one going home.

Over 82. Split. Got the split, Dean. So negative. Yeah, that's that, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I hear you. Look at old Phil. A couple apples for old Phil.

Still playing. Another 82 game season, more playoff points. But in terms of the series, it's good. What, six of the eight now? Yep. The road teams all found a way to win on the road. So that's good news. There's two series.

Toronto. Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah. Carolina and the Rangers. are sitting up, uh, yeah, two nothing. Yeah, the Leafs back from the dead. Greatest team ever.

Can't, uh, can't keep him down. Uh-uh. You saw this coming, right? You must be disappointed because you wanted you to lose so he could play next year. They still could lose. Depends on whether or not had been or churnack come back. Yeah. Honestly, I, I kind of like that they each blew each other out.

It's like that just means okay. Like there's, I feel like we got a good. series on her hands. And, you know, it's like, oh, how is Samson? I'm going to play, you know, Vasilev's. Well, there's a seven banger on him right there. So, all right. The difference is Vasilevsky refuses to be pulled. He did. Like, yes. I was watching. What's the, he just doesn't, right? What happened? It's, well, that's, it's a, it's an agreement with the coach, clearly. Asked him after 40. He doesn't care. Yeah, he doesn't care. He said no. Because what was it, the sixth goal in? The sixth. The sixth.

one went right near the end of the second period with a minute and changed because I was sitting there watching with I'll tell you with with with beef what I was watching with beef last night and the sixth one goes in as well marks or I'm just used to Markstrom being pulled Vasilevsky he's got to come out oh okay the play to the end of the second period yeah and then it's going to be Brian Elliott and the third and then out comes Vasilevsky what what the hell so you think that's what it could be well someone had tweeted it that yeah I don't know if there's post game comments or what, but they asked and he said, no.

So, okay. I mean, you want to hang in there? The coverage down here, I'm probably getting different coverage than you guys are. They said it right on the broadcast that he doesn't believe in being pulled. Well, and maybe he's feeling off, right? And this is a period where we can work on stuff. But yeah, typically it's like, this thing's over. We need you.

And we're traveling, you know, we've got a three hour flight or whatever. Like, why don't you have a little rest here? And you look at the names there in terms of goals. It was not their night, for sure. But when Ian Cole and Corey Perry provide your offense. On the Tampa Bay Lightning Squad, you're probably not going to win a lot of games. I'll tell you what. We don't like them.

I don't like them. I don't want to lump all of us in. I don't want to paint all of us with the same brush. But Cory Perry is one of the most hateable guys in the national hockey league. You can't help but respect the friggin guy. He continues to play. He is effective. He gets under your skin.

He had, I was going to call it Eric Canada Center, whatever the hell the rink is there, chanting. We hate Perry or Perry socks or whatever. Like, he's so smart. He is, he just goes to the right areas, scores again. You can hate him, but Retro, this guy is still an effective player in his late 30s. It blows me away. I didn't, I thought he was older than that too, but Christ, he might have a couple more years left. Well, remember, he was.

draft class is Getzzi, right? And Getzzi didn't feel young when he stepped away finally at the end of last year. And it's like, this MFer is still chasing cops and you lost the Tampa. Is that the Sid draft, right? That's all in the Sydney Crosby draft draft. Yeah, that was the huge estimate, huge specimen draft draft. I think he was the last guy in the first round to finally play a game or something like that. But yeah, like it's one of the greatest draft classes of all time. And it was Perry and Gets. Both went to Anaheim and not early. I think one was a teen and the other was. in the 20s, and it was like they had two franchise pillars for a decade, a couple cup of cup, a couple. That was a hell of run. And Gets didn't feel like

he cut it short. So that tells you how long Perry's plan. And it's, you're right about Perry. He's getting a contract for next year if he wants to play. So he lost in the final with Montreal. Remember he went to Montreal and played in that shitty no crowd season, loses to Tampa there. Then he signs with Tampa, lost in the final again. So he's on the Cory Perry pain tour right now. might have missed a year in there but yeah yeah it wouldn't even be PTOs it would no I'll get we'll give you another another another another another another play yeah at some point at some point you lose the tread on the tires but just watching him he's he's he's the same

Cory Perry as he was last year in the year before so now is he a Hall of Fame say think that was the witch draft that was the Sidney Crosby draft it was the best draft ever. I don't know if it was sit at the top, but it was 2000. It was 2003. Well, Getsi was in 2003 when Mark Andre Fleury went first. Yeah, and that was the robust draft class, I believe. That's the one that was crazy. Corey Perry was 28th. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, a couple years ago. That was a

foot off draft. Makes sense? Yes, it was. Yeah. Number nine. Because remember when they went without, you lost the year of hockey there, Red. I don't know if you even remember that. Do you remember losing to a paycheck, I guess that's why I... I didn't need that money.

I guess that's why I'm thinking Crosby because that world junior team, you had Crosby and Gatslap and Perry and Funoff. It was one of the greatest... It was the greatest ever. It was the greatest goalie on that team. And he didn't play in the NHL till like 33. It was Chicago gotten all those goalie troubles

and played Vancouver, Evanton, Calgary, Western Swing. But yeah, that was the greatest world junior team of all time because you had the lockout. Anyone that like, Bergeron would have been in there, as well, all these guys that would have been in the NHL were playing that tournament. Who, lights out.

And who did Perry get into it with last night? He fought, he's such a good... Spot picker. Yeah. Hall, who got dummied by Nugent Hopkins about two months ago. Well, I was coincidental ruffing, Dean. I don't know what you're talking about.

Somehow Perry gets his gloves off and throws punches and it's called roughing. Like, what the fuck is that? And has the guy down? Like, no, no code. no guy code no player code guys down just keep feeding them yeah keep feeding them and uh it's the worm i mean they lost seven to two so i guess last laugh but so what's your what's your feel on this series now is it my my field my feel goes back to what i said after game one i don't give a if headman

and churnack are out they're screwed that might be the break the leaps have finally needed yeah it's true offense is awesome They've got great players. And if you don't have your Norris trophy candidate and probably number two defensemen, at least top four defensemen, as far as the lightning are concerned, do you lose your top two or two or your top four?

You're hooped. I don't care. You look good, Dino. Here's their ice time leaders from last year's first round series. Yeah, sorry. Chris Johnson tweeted this last night, and I was just scrolling to find it. Last year, round one against the leaves,

Victor Hedman led the way in minutes. Surgachev second, McDonough, third, Chernak, fourth. Three of those four guys are now gone. Sergev, the only guy left. McDunna, I believe, to Nashville, Charnack and Hedman, hurt.

Point being, you know, that's a pretty deep blue line when they're healthy. You take away two top four, that's bad news, bears. Darren Radish. Darren Radish led their blue liners in ice time with 22 minutes, 24 seconds last night. Taylor?

Darren. That's, no, that's weird. I'm throwing it out there because I'm just looking at the game sheet. And I mean, if I'm, if I'm wrong, and it's, it's potential that I'm wrong. No, you're right. But I, uh, I printed off this summer this morning. Darren Radish, yeah, 22 minutes, 24 seconds. Nick Purbix, 16 minutes.

Oh, and you know what? I mean, he's actually been okay, but yeah, Sergachev 21 48. 21. You're not wrong, retro. You can't say a kid's been okay to take up I guess I mean this year Edmund I know what you're saying

But I'm just in general I'm saying There's a problem you can't it doesn't matter I mean if it was if it was Philly with pronger And pronger had been out you can't lose those kinds of guys They're the key to success Totally agree I remember the Breezebwa kind of saying that when they made that deal with Nashville that included Calfoot going the other way.

It was the emergence of Nick Purbix who allowed them to be able to move away from Calfoot. That was quite a tilt last night. That was quite a face punching contest. Luke Shen hanging on for dear life and Tanner, Geno. They both got a few in. I was going to say that because Janelle fights. It almost looked like it was two guys that could fight,

but didn't really know the strategy behind not getting hit. Because they were throwing hard. And right near the end, there was that one uppercut. It looked like a busted shin wide open on the top of his forehead there. But two good guys, nobody hurt. Nobody's, everybody's loving it. People on their feet. That was a heavyweight tilt.

Yeah. Luke Shen. If you're from Oxbow, Saskatchewan, you got to know how to toss them. I'm sorry. Is it Oxbow? Yeah. One of four fights last night. We got them all in the Pinda Report and three in that game.

Oh, nice. If you include the Perry Ruffing Miner. Yeah. And I think that's kind of why you go get Luke Shen. The price isn't super appealing. You can play third pair of second in a pinch. But when you're beating someone six two and they want to fight, thank you for making this not have to be somebody else, Luke.

Appreciate this. And I think it was Geno's first game back. Like that's saying something. First game back likes to fight guy clearly. Yeah, he's likes to fight guy. Now, what's in my camera friggin thing here? Whatever. Having a day.

There's something. There is something. Yeah. That's something covering the lens there? What hell's going on? Come on. Beef is pissing around with you. He's messing with you.

I was going to say there was almost a fifth scrap in the penalty box last night. Oh, baby. Between, you know, it was, because who was in there? It was Perry was in there and we had Genoa in there and Maroon was in there. And then we almost had a fan. You know what? And those, those Tampa Bay Lightning guys, I'll tell you what, Pat Maroon's probably lucky. Oh, yeah.

That Johnny Banana Hoodie couldn't get in there. Oh, he just told me back. there's banana there. Thanks for his to his friends. Yeah, holding them back. Look, this guy, this guy's going to get in there. He, oh yeah, big leafs fan and this yellow jumpsuit. That's, that's Tanner to know there next to the Chiquita banana. And he's scared for his life. Thank goodness the officials there, Dino. Yeah, it's a good thing. There's glass separating us. Now, I put, is that the Wolverine? This is very good. Look at this. It does like the Wolverine. Yeah. Is that his Mardaloupe brewing hoodie?

Yes, for sure. I can't see the kicks. You would have matching yellow kicks. That's that's the movie. Wow. Yeah, unbelievable. So anyway, before we roll this, I just kind of want to preface. So you saw this last night and the look on John Cooper's face from the other side of the rank as he's watching this take place is he's just shaking his head. He's like, what else could happen tonight? But at the, but at the, end of this I've tagged the play-by-play call from Lightning Radio. Oh dear. Which of course is Dave Mishkin and longtime NHLer executive and color commentator Phil Esposito. Yeah, so you can run it here. For those that didn't see how it went down. It was it was a wild night in Toronto. The fans were into it. I'll just let this play out and let Michigan and Phil take over. of the end.

You've got a fat woman who's yapping like three years. Is that a guy with long hair? I can't tell. Oh, Phil. He has so much disdain of the Phil. Fat. Fat woman.

Phil. There's some sort of fat woman or a guy with long hair. Yeah. It was that kind of nice. Wolverine wants a piece. This is good stuff. He really is.

really does. What is he not nice? What is he punching his chest? Oh, he wants a piece, retro. He says, Janow, you got me next. I got next.

This is where, this is where now I want those that, you know, to get that guy's name and have one of those celebrity fights. Yes. And I'm paying $100 out of my pocket. And there would be thousands of people that would do it to watch

you know kicked them out of that guy yeah i'd pay a hundred bucks to watch it's it's yeah it's six to one the game has just diminished to to this nonsense and now you've got a guy in the in the in the stands calling out one of his players to scrap he was like what the fuck is going get us after he did yeah that you know just had one hell of a fight dude oh yeah yeah you're the tough guy that's going to tune him in now mr man in the yellow hat oh my So the last three years for Tampa Was that Curious George? Yeah.

Is that the guy from Curious George? The guy in the yellow half? I don't know. Cup win. Cup win. Stanley Cup Finals lost to Colorado. That's their last three years. And John Cooper's thinking,

I got two of my top four out, had a pretty man regular season. Again, heading into that last Thursday of the regular season, the flames are three points back in Tampa. Like, we always just thought, hey, well, they'll just flick the switch red.

They'll be fine. But coming home, split ain't the war. worse, but it feels like the pressure might be switching in that series a little bit. I don't think there's a momentum to this series. The only momentum and a broken record, what's headman's injury? What's your next? Well, that's...

There's your momentum. Yeah. That's your point. The Leafs have been on the wrong side of a lot of, you know, bounces in round one. If those two guys are gone, so... Godreacting like an asshole a few times in Toronto and screwing things. up. And the loss they do have is buntingsings over three, but the knees, an eye, excuse me, can step right in and he looks really good.

Wow. And it's awful to say, but bunting being out and take it out churnack, probably the Leafs are okay with that. So they game, that'll be the prime time game Saturday. Oh, yeah, yeah, I fuck it. I can't stand sorry I'm swearing, but I just Leafs fans and Leafs media need to just F off. It's just painful. It's so pain. I wish I'd have grabbed it. The post game, and you would have again, retro,

because you have a hard time with media questions anyway. Did you see that one, Pinder? The Cooper Post game, because he was asked about with the addition of Ryan O'Reilly, what does that change things with the centerman? He's like, how does it change? It's like, give me points, Sorrelli and whatever is third line. Paul from Audi.

Give me point, Sorrelli and Paul any day against anyone in the league, anyone in the league, and then just gets up and leaves. Because it's basically Toronto fan boys and girls asking questions, basically say, huh, you got your ass kicked, hey? It's one one. How good are the Leafs? Hey, Mr. Cooper, do you want to comment on how great the Leafs are? That's it.

Yes. That's basically what it is. Yeah. Can you believe how good beliefs are you? I'd be a very easy. Severis had a hat trick. That's good, hey?

That's three. Did you know that's three goals? That's a lot in one game. Oh, and, and, and I'm even more on Tampa Bay side now because that fucking coach,

Keith puts out his top fucking unit. I wish someone jumped in the, I would have shot a slap shot into the, into the bench at him. What's the score and what's the game time and the time and the clock here? Remind us. Ficking 6-1 with 10 minutes not even left. I honest to God, I know what I know where their bench is.

I know where the third period is. I know when I got the puck, I would make a cross-ice pass that was errant. The puck must have bubbled on that pass. And it would be going 100, well, as fast as I could pass it, a hundred miles into their bench. Oh, oops. And Warner looks like he bobbled that, and that nearly hit Keeve. And so seven in a row.

Every time I got the puck, I'd be shooting it at that prick. 15.06 of the third period. 1506. So this is the last five minutes of the game to Rett's point. A power play goal, Tavares from Marner and O'Reilly. Sorry, that cheeky prick Tavares too. You see that? I made a nice go.

I got a hatch. Fuck. Hate the leaves. Yeah, he does. Yeah. Hate him. And he's a chicken shit anyway. Oh,

well, there's our YouTube clip for the day. I've fired another one wide. What the hell's going on? Warner. Depot. Depot. What's wrong with my sticks?

I keep, it keeps going off the toe of my stick. I can't fucking figure it out. Sorry, guys. Guys, hey, sorry,

Sheldon. I don't know what the hell's going on over here. Terrible. Terrible. So, Dino, six series, are tied 1-1.

The two that are not. Carolina's on Long Island tonight at the first ever playoff game at UBS Arena. So the islander's going to have to get something going here. They're cooked. And the other one is the Rangers who just stole two on the road and are heading back to MSG. I feel like 1-1,

we know where we're at. But where we're at on these 2-0 series are at. Whoa, whoa. They didn't steal shit. They went in and just said. Yeah, no, they... Here. Those are... We're going to take those, okay? We're across the over we're going to bring them back over to the MSG here we'll take these two thank you very much I think the devils are cooked I think that Shisterkin's going to be too good and I

think the Rangers offensive depth is too good and I don't think the devils are ready for the big stage so two games two goals for the devils one on a penalty shot one on the power play nothing five on five offensively for the devils yeah and and Kreider two more More power play goals. It's amazing, right? And we've seen it over the course of time. There's lots of guys that are great in front of the net and can tip it. But that's, he's been one of the best in the league the last three years at doing this.

Yeah, that 50 goal season, there you have it. Crider up to four on the points. Crider. Yeah, it's Fox, six helpers. It feels over for sure. Yeah, I don't feel the same way about Carolina because of how close they've been. But the two Rangers games have both been decisive. and whether the chances maybe were closer,

no one's surprised if Shistercun outplays Vanichek. So if the Rangers are slightly better and pumping them and getting better goaltending, good night. Well, that's the problem, right? Is that the Rangers beat them soundly, out shooting them, scoring more. They haven't even had to rely on Shisterken to win him a game.

And I think he's more than capable of it. If this one ends in four or five games, that will be an absolute stunner when you think of all the series, fans and we were looking forward to seeing. Yeah. This one had all the all the makings of an absolute banger, but they have not been great games so far.

Gotta win game three for the devils. Otherwise this is, you don't even watch it, right? Like devils have to have three. Shesterkin. Decent. Sturka. Sturkin.

And then Seattle still proven to be a handful for the Colorado Avalanche. They have two to nothing and then end up losing three, too. They were dominating in the first period. felt kind of like the Vegas game. Yeah. Like these underdogs, Winnipeg and Seattle,

getting leads, tough out, playing pretty sound structurally, not giving up much to the other team. And then both Vegas and Colorado found the gas pedal in the later stages. That Civ Giorgio, though,

those two goals he gave up are terrible. You want to win in the play. Well, if you want to win in the playoffs, you can't give up those goals. I mean, You know the guy's on a backhand on the wall. You know all he's going to do is pass it to the front.

If you're a goaltender reading the two on one play, Christ, you don't even have to stay in the net. You could come out and take away the pass. Play it like a D-man if you're not going to stop it. Like, you know the guy on the wall is not shooting it. There's no threat. He's going to throw it out in the slot and he's still, oh, oops.

got through me and the second one's a shot that beats them. Yeah, it's a good shot, but you want to win? Stop the puck. So off to Seattle. We'll see. Games three and four. Should be fun. There's no way they can come close to what Vegas did, right? Because Vegas, in terms of the game production,

when Vegas first landed that first season and we saw a playoff hockey at the fortress, it set the whole, it was like it set the story. sporting entertainment world on its ears. Have you seen, look what they're doing in Vegas to the point that they were broadcasting. Remember, they were showing the entire pregame show that they had. They can't, I don't think, do anything similar. But I haven't talked to anybody, have you talked to anybody that's been to a game? I'm sure the rink is phenomenal. Nice, but I really haven't heard anything about the endgame production. It's the nicest arena on earth. They just spent over a billion dollars US on it. It's phenomenal. Like everything's got this underwater.

theme that matches up with the whole cracking vibe. Like there's not pillars. There's fucking, you know, like fish tanks around pillars. Everything is through the roof. It's state of the art. I think the fans will be wound up. It depends how many of those hippies smoke a joint before they go in, right? It's not going to be Vegas.

It's not trying to be Vegas. It's going to be a different vibe. But, you know, I remember watching the first game ever there the last two falls ago. And you're like, this is pretty impressive. They're fired up. There's only one first playoff game ever. They'll be rowdy. Do they have a pot smoking section in there in the rink?

I know that there used to be smoking sections. It's like at the airport for you let your dogs take a ship. It's just outside. Is there safe injection site in the concourse? What's going on there, Red? Do they have like one area set out just for hacky sacking? Jesus. Like just for.

For sure. Hackysack rentals. You don't need to bring your own. Yeah, come on down. We've got some Frisbee throwing contests ahead of the game. Win yourself a pack of pre-year-olds. Oh, you know what? And there's so many kids, you'd have to really have some, like,

gummy police to make sure that the, not sure. Okay, those are good. Those are the Haribo gummy bears. That's right. It's the weekend. That means let's get on the deck, the patio. Let's get outside and throw some delicious meat on the grill.

On Tonne Meat Market opened its doors in 19. It's AAA Alberta beef, the best free range poultry. Look at this. Grain fed Alberta lamb. Does your day look like that? Is that where I should be grilling? I don't see green grass. That guy was driving awfully fast.

What kind of neighborhood are you living in? Don't let your kids outside. It's dangerous. I don't. Alberta pork, Alberta beef. It is only the best at Bontan Meat Market. Calgary Consumer Choice Award winner for Best Deli Meat Market, 28. Curlfoot Circle Northwest,

Bonton Meat Market.com. It's a beef rib kind of day, Dean. Get yourself some beef ribs. It is. Yeah, it's a wet, snowy, gross. Blah kind of a day. Yeah, you had said you weren't coming in

and I said, yeah, figured and yuck. It's gross out. No need to be out commuting in this shit. Fireplace, soup, and another week closer to. the end of winter maybe. I was going to bring this up yesterday and then we got off on a different tangent talking about, I guess, the roster and for the flames, obviously. And where do you go from here and it's like, what are we getting, what can you get for Nazim Khadri? I weren't really

going to have that conversation. But I wanted to, and it's not looking like I'm, I'm not trying to double down on things that we have said to say, see, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're Right. There's other people who think the same way. Obviously, that's the way it should be. But Wes Gilbertson, Wesley in the Calgary Sun a couple days ago. And I tried to get him on. He's been, he's avoiding us. Or he's busy. Well, he's got a very, very expensive retainer to get him on. Yeah. He had some, it sounded like it was some sort of an onboarding thing he had to do. It's not like a lot of fun. You know, those corporate things. What's the name of this article? You can go online and read it.

read it obviously, is Craig Conroy ready to be GM of the Calgary Flames, published a couple days ago. And he kind of walks through all of the data and everything else. And just something that kind of popped out to me. Conroy would definitely be a popular pick, says Wes. The 51-year-old has so far totaled 21 seasons on the Flames payroll. nine is a reliable two-way center, including one winter with the sea stitch on his number 24 jersey, and a full dozen in a suit and tie. He was Iggy's sidekick and then Tree's sidekick. Is it now his turn to be the main man? Isn't this the exact opportunity the organization has been grooming him for?

A quote from Brian Burke, no question. The plan was for Connie to be GM one day. Ken told me that. That from an Eric Francis article. in, anyway, from Francis's article.

The late Ken King isn't the only one who could see that potential. Six years ago, Conroy was a finalist to be hired as GM by the Buffalo Sabres. He seems fit to fit the criteria that Maloney offered the younger, progressive inventive, which he rolled out at the press conference.

And then the last part here. Then again, you have to wonder why after Trillivings exit Conroy wasn't at least handed the reins on an interim basis. If he was the next in line, shouldn't that have been a no-brainer? So again, it comes back to something we talked about. I guess it was the next day. I'm not looking to like honestly, it's just it's another guy who covers a team has been covering the team for a long time in West Gilbertson who, you know, that's his perspective on it. And I know that that was kind of at least for retinine. I'm not

looking to exclude your pindery. I get your point. But it felt like, If not a slap in the face, it was just kind of a... Unusual? Why is this not just... He's the next guy. He's been the AGM for a while. Is that not what you've been doing? So what does he watch to?

He ain't ready now. What the hell's going to change? Yeah, that's fair. Now, look, that's a lot of tenure for a former player. It's not a lot of tenure for a front office guy. There's people that have worked in front offices for three, four decades, that never got to sniff around GM. They clearly were grooming him to be GM.

but I guess to your guys' point, from the outside, we don't know what Craig did. It's like, oh, he was the guy that said we've got to put a claim in or don't trade that guy or we got to get this guy, he's going to be really valuable or like, let's find this guy to coach this team. Like, we don't know any of that. All that falls into the GM's decisions. The flames would know. They've watched.

They have the, okay, in this meeting, this is what Craig said and this is what Brad said. They'll know more than we do on that front. But my only pushback on just giving it to the guy. is has Craig been watching a really, really functional progressive organization? Is he best in trade, like best in class in terms of AGMs around the league? Or is he just the best guy they have internally? Certainly he's the best guy they have internally, I'd suggest. But I think it's a free audit of the organization.

It's a free opportunity to get ideas from other guys. And also there's a lot of AGMs that are very, very good at, you know, their jobs that you don't want to hear from them. If Craig doesn't get this job, I'd understand him feeling a little bit snub. but the notion that things have been so good here that the next in line's obviously the best candidate, I'm not quite there. He might be,

but I would suggest there's better run management teams over the last 12 years than the one he's watched. And I can't dispute that for me to sit here and say that without a shadow of a doubt, Craig Conroy is the most qualified, the smartest, this is the, if you don't, you're setting your franchise back. I don't know, but you set it right off the start.

He's been groomed to be the GM. He's been doing that as 12 years. If you've been grooming him and this has been everyone's plan, his and yours, the only thing, and somebody brought it up to me, I don't want to mention who they, it doesn't matter. You also have Brad Pascal, who is an assistant GM. He's kind of been in charge of the Wranglers. He's probably going to want himself in the mix for this job. Is it out of respect for him and just the whole procedure that maybe that's sort of why?

So that speaks to part of the issues that have been. What Pender's pointing out that maybe this hasn't been the best run because that was a confusing thing too when they had Tree and Maloney and Pascal and Conroy all doing, we're not exactly sure what because we're not privy to what everybody's role was. I think you've got a decent idea what Pascal's dealing with the Stockton Heat and now the Wranglers. Anyway, Pinder is opposite of me. where Pinder, and I'm speaking for you, Pinder, and you can argue it if you want, but Pinder would be not anti-X-player, but don't hand an ex-player something without proving that he earns it and would be more inclined to give someone that wasn't an ex-player and has worked his way up just through the management side and has a statistic.

background or whatever background Pinder would hold that in higher regards than I would and I would be more on the Craig Conroy side where he's an ex-player he knows what it's like to go in the Madison Square Garden and play he knows what it's like on a Tuesday in January to play you can learn the other stuff and here's I honestly think I think Craig should get the job

he's been groomed for it he's put in his time he's never bitched he's never moaned he's got a good rapport with the city he will have a good rapport with the kids he will have plans and thoughts of his own and Craig conroy when and if he gets the job should go out and immediately hire the next best guy of pinders ilk to support him do you know what I mean yeah you don't have to take the reins and say F off to everybody else. Right. There's been,

I think there's been a bit too much of that in the Flames organization where we got our guys and we don't need to talk to anyone like, fuck, they should talk to Lanny McDonald every day or, or whoever, but that's not how it works. Now, who is it,

the guy in St. Louis. Oh my God. Armstrong? Yeah, Doug Armstrong. Doug Armstrong. He talks to all the alumni guys.

He gets their take on things. all the time you do not have to use it i don't you it's information and they and i think that conroy would be open to to new trends and that sort of thinking where bring in the best guy that's and i'm just saying stats because i'm too stupid to have a better term to use but more of a dubous background type of deal bring in that other guy to support you you don't have to take the reins and try and do it all yourself and be, you're the decision maker. Get guys to give you as much info as you can get and compile it in your head and then make your decisions. Don't be a stubborn prick thinking, I've got all the answers and I'll do it myself.

I think everybody's going to question. Yeah, sir, I think Craig's a really good candidate. Like, I don't want this to get confused. Like me saying good process is talking to other people doesn't mean I don't think Craig could be a really good GM. Like he naturally is very collaborative. Like he's a guy that enjoys talking to people and sharing ideas. That's obvious with any interaction with him. He would have been in a lot of contact with, you know, the American League team, which

Pascal has run. He sees a lot of the kids. He's done a ton of scouting. We've checked in with him over the years. And it's like, oh, I'm in Russia. I'm here at this tournament. I'm watching this junior kid play. It's been pro scouting and amateur.

I think he's probably seen a lot of what Chris Snow in that department does with analytics, which I think is very important. for a modern GM. I think it's more important than it has been. You know, this is a game where you've got 32 teams of 32 really smart guys. Where can you find a tiny edge? Where can you find a little market inefficiency where you can save a little money and or get a little bit of a better player than maybe traditional practices would have? I think he's a really, really strong candidate. I think he, if he's not going to be a good GM now, he's never going to be. So I'm with you that it's time to give him a shot. I also think there's a lot of

really, really, really good people that have done like Craig a lot of work in a lot of the fields for a long time that I think also are ready. And, you know, it's sometimes patience is the hard part, but I think Craig's going to end up with this job. I do. And I think that's fine for the Calgary Flames. And it opens an interesting pathway to what this management team could look like. I also think I'd want to talk to, you know, like Chris McFarland of the Avalanche and Eric Tulski of the Carolina, just because I might learn something. And I might say, oh, why are you guys better at drafting than we are. Because if we knew the answer in that, you know, we would be better at drafting. Why you do, like, why don't you blow your brains on fragely? How do you do so well on goaltending?

It's a free opportunity to talk to those cats. And I'd want to talk to Carolina and Colorado. Yeah, Robert, I was just going to say, Robert Munich at flamesnation.com. If you go to the website, he put an article out a couple days ago about potential candidates. And he brings up Eric Tulski, kind of in that data-driven candidate category. Carolina Hurricanes, Assistant GM, Jason Carmanos, assistant GM with the Carolina Hurricanes, Pittsburgh Penguins,

also brings up Sean Burke's name, Mike Fuda, who used to be with the Los Angeles Kings. And some of them are because of Daryl ties, Dary with Bob Murray, former Dux GM, we talked about him. They obviously, from Chicago, going back to a long, long time ago,

but Mike Fuda was the AGM in L.A. when Daryl was there. So I don't know. It's, I won't lie to you. From, from my standpoint, I'd like to see Craig get it. But not because, and that's like, oh, I just, don't be the old boys club. Don't be the Oilers. I'm not saying go out and find some guy that played for the team and give him the job just because Conroy has been groomed for it.

He didn't he quit mid-season, right? That's how that all kind of shook down. He was playing. I was going to ask how many guys has he worked under or four? Darrell? Feaster would have been his first. Are you sure it wasn't Darrell? I'll check, but I thought Feaster carved that rollout

the special assistant to the GM. Maybe. I could be wrong. The first place my head went was Feaster. It'll be close. It's in that era. And all that Daryl would collect special assistance. But yeah.

Yeah. It doesn't matter. He retired. I was trying to think of a random name. It's not like you're going and saying, hey, Marcus Nilsson. Do you want to GM the team? Because you played and it's not that. He showed an interest in the management side of the game while still playing and then

immediately afterwards. He went right upstairs. and has been there ever since. So it's not old boys club necessarily. It's just that every organization has these guys. The plan that you put in place. Like Pat Verbeek's the GM in Anaheim. Was anyone a year ago saying Pat Verbeek, if the flames have a note,

like Craig is not an unusual situation. Most NHL teams have a former player that is getting groomed to be a GM. I'd want to talk to a bunch of them. You know, like if Verbeek hadn't been hired by the Ducks, are you talking about him? Is he on your radar? Should he be? Or do we only really know,

our own organizations last decade of AGMs. It feels like who knows an out of market AGM. Like it's it's a black box. You know the GM and you don't even know who's helping or what their file is. And we can move on. I just, it was something that I saw the other day. I would just say that if if he's not your guy now, then you, he needs to go and you should have let him go long ago. If, if you really were five, six, seven years into this whole thing and ownership, We love Craig, but he's, you know, just keep him on the payroll. He's the, but he's never going to be the GM. Then let him go and go to some other team.

If that's what he was. I don't think that's the case. There's, yeah, and it was Jay Feaster when he started. He played the 1011 season, 18 games, then moved up. Feaster took over in December 2010. So there, there, there's that. And then it was the one, the one thing that he does have is, an understanding of how things work here.

Yep. For good or bad. Yep. For good or bad. Managing up, he'll understand, right? Yes. Now, maybe somebody else would be coming in and say, no, no, no, we can't operate this way, Mr. Edwards.

And maybe he can get the ear of the owner and make him understand differently. I don't know. But he will understand how things operate in that down at the Saddle Dome. No question. And I think to be really fair, I'd love to hear from other guys. I wouldn't expect top candidates to come here. I just wouldn't. I know there's only 32 jobs. But if you're Chris McFarland or Eric Tulski and you feel like it's only a matter of time, I want full autonomy. I don't want to have to deal with some of the conditions that are present here. But you might have to be. Because those guys to, right? They'll be under that working agreement. You're going to be the next guy here. potentially like Eric Tulski Eric Tulski probably it's who's the GM in Carolina

I can never Don Wadell Waddell Donnie Waddell he's not going to be doing it forever yeah probably the plan there is he has been groomed and you are going to there's a there's a plan in place

so Tulski's a different cat too Tulski's not a front facing goes to chat with the media guy like he's just not he might be forever like a senior VP, a GM type. Or you just have to have a president that can talk to the media. He's not a

socially not like most GMs in this league in terms of like a lot of the job is talking about the team and being the face. That's not him. Well, some of those guys may be we have no idea. They might be getting compensated in the same manner

that a GM is and they might have as much say in those situations. They might not need to leave to feel like they're running teams, right? Like, you just don't know. Vena Nova, Calgary's lab grown diamond specialists. The, uh, you walk in the doors at Vena Nova and you are only going to see lab grown diamonds. No confusion. And what does that mean? It means while these ones that I'm looking at,

I'm not going to be, uh, paying crazy money or if I'm paying big money, I am getting a substantially significant gem, a jewel for, uh, for my significant other. Spring is engagement season. You can be confident in knowing the prices are, in a lot of cases, 80% less compared to mine diamonds, pretty much across the board. Due to the identical nature, lab-created diamonds have the same hardness and light refraction as a natural diamond. Gemologists themselves often have a hard time, and it made something since it's impossible to tell them apart. Visit venanova.com.

See them at their downtown showroom on the second level of Stephen Avenue Place. and mention Barnburner. I don't think it saves you any money. Just say, yeah. How about those flames? You'll have a little hockey conversation and you can talk about the lab growth. So with your eyes, Dean,

you can't tell the difference between the mind and the lab made. I can't. Even if you squint and you... I had no idea. Poor bastard. Happy Valentine's Day, babe. This is a Sapphire?

Let's do the... Let's do the... to report. Village Honda in the Northwest Auto Mall, online villagehonda.com. We've been saying it for a while. Get your piece of the million dollar buy-in event cash for your used vehicle. Village is paying top dollar. They'll even throw in a tropical cruise to boot.

What more do you need? Good heavens, people. They are doing everything to get your business here. Go. See more at villagehonda.com or head there in the Northwest Auto Mall. Village Honda brings you the Pinder Report. It was a fight-filled night last night. And for our Friday Pinda Report today,

we're going to start with, well, something we thought, you know, this could be a real good game. And if the Leafs aren't going to show up tonight, well, bury everyone and rename the franchise. It's been that bad. Seven first round exits in a row last night, game two against Tampa. Needed to get on even terms. We could show you the seven goals.

But what about the three fights, Rhett? These are like a rare delicacy now all of a sudden. Playoff scrap. Let's go. First one on deck. I believe we got your old pal who you're cheering against. Mark Giordano skating around and watch for Zach Bogosian here. Cheered four.

This is a ret fight too. This is good strategy. Throw hard, get to the deck. Begossian didn't have a chance. Geo may or may not have landed one or two there, but he got a couple of healthy cuts. And the former Flames captain. All right. One nothing in the tone's already been set.

Let's watch it again. Rhett, give us your thoughts here. camera gets there late, which kind of sucks. Yeah. It's a geocircle in there. I said, let's have a go here. Going to do this. That's right.

It's a little old. He's picking fights. Really went after. Oh, good for my old boy. My old roommate. What year? Or years, uh? Well, it was just one night, but I wasn't there in a morning when he woke up.

That's right. That was the Christmas party. Hey, Gio, why don't you come over for Christmas? That sounds great. Wakes up the next morning. Rhett and the shoveler on an airplane to Saskia 2. Second fight of the night. Here we go. It's a gooder.

Geno. And look, Shen. Now, looks like Shen's in trouble here, but watch him land a couple and get the helmet off right away. There we go. Left, left, left. Left. Lefts. Now, Geno gets a turn. Why he didn't keep going there? he got him good there first game back for

Genoa this guy's an animal yeah right there I don't know if he caught him or not good good lick it's surprising that Shen can't throw a right I hate lefties but we should like you said he was going great

on the left he just got a bad shoulder hey what the hell was Genoa but if he's a lefty why did he he's all yeah he's really waiting to throw lefts It's four in a row there.

He's lefty. Keep going. Come on, Sean. He should have throw eight in a row. Yeah, it's going good. Last one, technically not a fight, even though Cory Perry, the worm, got his gloves off and was hammering kidney punches.

It's hole and Perry behind the net. Let's have a peek of that one, too. 6-2, seven minutes left. Geo gets tossed. Patty Maroon wanted to beat up Geo here. Yeah. Good decision, Joe. Just still swinging, hey?

He is one of the great villains of all time. He really is. He really is. Black cat. I don't know. To me, he's beyond Brad Marchand as far as a villain. I know there's a lot of people that, again, Marchand was licking guy's faces and stuff. He just cleaned his act up a little bit.

But, uh, and he just relishes in it. Still a weasel. He loves it. Yep. I should absolutely love this guy. Brett made the point. It's a good one. I should absolutely love this guy.

Yeah, we know where you've worked. We've seen too much of his work in these parts in the Pacific Division or the old Northwest, whatever they want to call it. There was a seventh goal from the Leafs that highlighted at 6-2. A power play goal with five minutes left with the top power play in it out there, Red. Five on three. We're going to run it up. You know, you've got to get that fifth.

Send a message. You're up by four with five to the playoffs. Great message. Great message. Yeah, the message is we're going to do everything we can to piss you off even more. Like, I guess. No lead is safe, right? We've talked about all these bone leads.

They were going to blow a four-goal lead with five left, right? Now, is there a chance that's stemming from something else, if not this year, than going back to last year's playoffs? I think there's plenty with these two teams. Late third. The four-go-lead lead. I just wonder if. Listen, I hate the leaves. So I'm probably over here.

reacting to it. It's something, though, Rad. It's not nothing. No, it was certainly, it was a deliberate something. Yeah. Whatever it might be.

7-2, your final there. We got a good series, I think. Although, to your point, if two of the tough forward defense are going to be gone for Tampa, maybe we don't. Maybe this is, hey, you look good in game one

and good night. Tampa will be wound up at home. She's a big uphill. It'll be a big uphill. It'll be wound up, but it's, those guys are, that's a tough loss if they're not playing.

Worst place than the one the lightning are in is one the devils find themselves in. They are down 2 O to the Rangers. They were on home ice. They were the favorite in Vegas. Now they have to go to MSG.

Not a lot of good news. They lose 5 to 1. There was a tilt as well. Let's take a peek. It was a Michael McLeod? Let's take a peek. Rangers Devils. Late.

Tone setting. Oh, Corner. Ronald. China Grove. What a fool believes. Take out some of that frustration. Cloud. And that's Braden Schneider.

All right, too. Yeah, a couple young. Ornery cusses there. Braden Shider, he's tough. Former Brandon Wee King. Lots of mop there. He's got to fight too. God, I'd love to be able to have hair like that.

If I could grow hair, I just let it go. Mr. Window, Dean, I think. It looks so good. A couple of guys with hair beyond their noses. I'm Ben. Good to work young fellas. Yeah. Uh, yeah, 5-1, not good.

Doey. Two more for Criter. He's up to four on the postseason. Adam Fox has six assists. Don't have to worry about him passing the puck. You said he had a muffin. That's why. Is that what it was?

Can't shoot. Winnipeg and Vegas. You know what? Hey, I was just going to say, I was just going to say, Teresenko back in the playoffs, loving it. Yeah.

And Patty King got his first, too. Yeah. Lots of weapons. Big acquisitions. Yeah. Let's go to Vegas where the Winnipeg Jets looked very good early. That's your final. It wasn't pretty.

But how about this save early on to help the Jets keep an early lead? I believe this is at 1-0-0-0-0. Hellebuck right after getting his eye above his eye cut, somehow goes post-to-post here and holds this out. They think it's in and maybe we won't be able to see it. Nope. That's out the whole way. he falls in, it's in the glove, he keeps outside the post.

It might not have been an inspiring Final 40 rep, but they still got Hellebuck. If they could sit Shifley, they've been good shape. It's not been a great year for the Shifley reputation. Connor could have had three goals in the first period. He was flying around in that first period, and then it was just nothing. Every time you had,

then the hangover kicked in. They couldn't. Yeah. Didn't this game was great at 2-2-2. Didn't Friedman say that the knights are being pricks? Yeah, that was walked back. Apparently, there was a rumor of the Golden Knights removing all the pedals from exercise bikes, and then later, closer to game day, or after game day escape, closer to warm up,

there was one pick reporter saying, yeah, no, there was one bike that was missing one pedal, so they put it in the hall. That's it. So, uh, a little overblown. It's almost the same thing. Yeah, over the bottom. They weren't sabotaging. I kind of wish it was true.

I do too. I don't mind them being a villain as well. Mark Stone is back. He looked rough in game one, a pair last night, and that led us to the tweet of the night by any NHL franchise. Let's go to social media for the Vegas Golden Knights. I like this one personally. Nothing like getting Mark stoned on 420.

Way to go. Vegas. Yeah. Yeah. They used to be on fire all the time on Twitter. That's a banger, though, right there. Love that. I worry about Barkstoner. I think he's going to get hurt again.

They jumped on him after the goal. I'm like, guys, he just had back surgery. And he's smiling. And then they turned him on the bench and he's wincing. I'm like, uh-huh. Seattle, Colorado, early on, you'll like this.

Tees and peas. Brother of Chris Tanev, Brandon, the famous, I saw a ghost stock photo on the NHL's website, the former penguin, scores a goal early and look what he does. This is beautiful.

To make it 1-0 Seattle, short-handed goal, blows a kiss to some old guy's wife, and then they start the celebrations. She blew one back. Yeah, and the husband's like, ha, ha, ha,

this is great. Yeah, how was work today, bud? That's so funny anymore. He would have the last laugh. Colorado rallies for three unanswered to win three-two over Seattle. It was bang, bang, bang to tie it. Took a while for the a house to get going,

but it's fine, Finally, finally, get a W, and they got to Philip Grubeauer, the worst goal in the league last year. This is hope for Jacob Markstrom, right? That he's good again. God, he was bad. Not Markstrom, Grubauer, both, really. 1-1 there as they head back to Seattle.

So here we are, 6 series, tied 1-1. Two series or not. We talked about it. Carolina in the driver's seat going along Island, Rangers in the driver's seat coming home. The rest are 1-1. It feels like we got a pretty good first race. round, Dino. Doesn't look like a lot of short series necessarily.

I think, you said it. I think the cracking are going to give the abs all they can handle. I think this, uh, I do think the devils are, I think the devils are hooped. And I'm with you. I don't, unless we know more about Chernak and headman, it's hard to have a gauge. Yeah. If they come back, then yeah, let's, I think you've got one. But potentially, if you're without those two guys, that's a lot of minutes. Those are solid defense. against that leaf offense, it changes a lot for, for me anyway. But I think the cracking are going to be a handful for sure. That's last night. Let's look at tonight, four more.

Back and forth we go. It's been a nice balanced schedule so far. And, yeah, some scene switches here. First ever postseason game at UBS Arena. UBI, Dean, you all right? That's where you're at home today. For the Islanders, they need a win. Panthers have to be feeling good.

they handed Boston one of their worst two or three games of the year in a game two victory. They scored what, four in the third period, Sam Bennett back. Alex Lyon remains somehow their best goalie, a team that's got, what, 14 million bucks committed to Spencer Knight and Sergey Bobrovsky. It's Alex Lyon, the 30-year-old journeyman in net. And then back to St. Paul, we go where it'll be Philip Gustafson tonight, Mark Andre Fleury against the high-flying Dallas offense, and the Kings back at home against the Oilers.

split and they erased three two-gold deficits, and yet I still feel worried for the Kings. I look at this Boston, Florida, because there was some bad blood at the end of that one and same with Dallas and Minnesota. I want Boston to win. I do, but I would love to see Florida dig it and make this a hell of a series.

Do you hear about Bergeron? That's why he played that last game. Here we go. Right to the Bergeron news this this morning. He didn't play game one. Didn't play game two. Game one, they were saying, oh, you know, it's always illness.

We've got an illness running around. Game two is like, yeah, he's not sick anymore. So, oh, it's okay. And he did leave game 82 with injury. Didn't play a lot the last two weeks. Didn't even travel to Florida Red. So no Bergeron game one, two, three, and four, as Jim Montgomery, their new head coach this year,

says game five, potentially Bergeron's playoff debut. That's not ideal. Did you hear the person? side of this story though oh go ahead please but why about why he played game he I thought I read somewhere that his father's bought battling cancer and they're from Montreal and he wanted to play the game for his dad okay did not know that but I might be reporting completely off base could it be erroneous on all accounts it's coming from me so it's not like you to fire out erroneous information

Now, this gets even spicier, knowing they're going to miss Bergeron, all of a sudden, look at this. Linus Olmark, your assumed Vesna winner for the season? Maybe not playing? Game time decision, as he was in game one? If it was a stomach bug game one, this feels like maybe he ain't a hundred. Never mind the flu, but injury?

Bad fruit basket. If my baba, if my Baba were a Bruins fan, she'd be saying, oh, y'oy, y'oy. Okay. That's what she'd be saying. Oof, da. Not ideal for the Bruins, so eyes on that one. Not ideal.

Tonight. Okay. Rett, tough times in the north. A woge bomb and a boomer bomb early this morning. Nick Nurse is done and out as the head coach of the Toronto Raptors. Lucky bastard. Paid to not work. We're all jealous.

Nothing says you've been fired like a thank you montage. of photos. What the hell does a NBA coach make anyway? Five to ten? I would think that's reasonable. I mean, the college guys are making that at the big programs. NBA coaches' salaries. Going to miss him, rat, or what?

Hey, I think we should honor him. Won us a championship. Brought the North a championship. So, yes. Absolutely. And he was good. I liked him. Had some personality.

Wasn't afraid to guffaw. and Chortle. I liked them. Greg Popovich, 11 and a half a year? I'm not sure about his exes. He's not sure about his exes and his practices, but seemed like a good dude.

Top three paid coaches in the NBA this year. Greg Popovich, 11.5 million a year for the Spurs. Steve Kerr with the Warriors, nine and a half a year. Doc Rivers of the Sixers, eight and a half a year. Scrolling the net.

How long has Popovich been making 10 million in San Antonio League? He's been there forever. I don't know how long he's been making that kind of, though. That seems like a very top-of-market current. He was there when I went and watched the play in a playoff game with the shoveler. I believe that. Before we were married.

He's had multiple dynasties, I believe. That's how long he's been in San Antonio. But it's not been long. He's making 11 and a half. I'll tell you that. Sixth on the list was nurse. He was making eight even a year. Boy, I remember those days.

You and the shoveler. It was like paparazzi, media have fallen year-round. It was a highly publicized relationship. Affleck and J-Lo. People were pulling up those old naked photos. Arod and Madonna. Of you or her? What's the website?

Yeah, just a high-profile couple. So many of him. It's disturbing how many naked photos there are of you floating around. God, put some clothes on. So the Oakland A's, we told you yesterday, they're moving to Las Vegas. They're done there. Called me the streak in high school. The streak.

The streak. Would you streak? Oh. I had a buddy in college. I swear to God, he had a problem with streaking. He loved doing it so much. And his girlfriend would be like, listen, if we're going out tonight, you have to promise. You have to promise me.

I don't know, I don't know, babe, if I can't. I don't know if I can do it. Well, then we're not going. Then I'm not going. Okay, babe, okay. And I just remember every time, because it's the school year, it's cold outside. I just remember every friggin' time we would go out. He'd drop his drawers and he'd be running around.

You're like picking up his clothes and he'd come in one door, go out the other. And like when the doors open, all the steam kind of comes into the frigging bar room, he'd go out some emergency exit. He had a problem with it. He loved it. He's snow angling in the snow banks. Oh man and he had he had a shit he would shave his head right down to the wood and you could see he'd What did you do with the bathroom or whatever and you can see his bald head like over the crowd on the dance floor and people like oh for jesus christ oh jeez make it man boom out the emergency exit he's gone it's like you go get his clothes and i'll put him in the car so it doesn't freeze to death jesus it is if you were building an all-star roster of party

animals, likes to street guy is a weapon. Like it's a lot, it's exhausting, but it's never boring. Like, uh, I know one likes to street. It's never boring. And it's like, if you have one on the roster, it's never boring. They can ruin your time. They can ruin your night. It's like it's only 11 and we've got to go. No, you don't. You just leave them, let him run around naked. What the hell do you care? Yeah, I mean, if you want to make sure he's got a blanket, that's great, but you get your ass back in the club, Dina. I don't have been in the house. He doesn't have to be outside.

So the Oakland Athletics, leaving Oakland, as I was saying, going to Vegas. And there's only really one reason why. Shitty ownership. And this tweet from a major league reporter, I think, was an amazing, I don't know if the timing was perfect or what. But here's a list of the teams that have possums in the press box to his research. So there's the whole major league baseball on the left with the A's being the only ones that do. who yes have possums in the press box. Now, that's a lot of data, Rhett,

and I use the term Venn diagram a lot, so even more helpful, this fine gentleman on Twitter, there's your Venn diagram. Possums and broadcasters only coexist in Oakland. It's got away with graphics, isn't that beautiful? They're the ones that hang by their tails? Is that possums? They got a nasty looking teeth.

What's the groundhog day animal? That's a tough one. I'm going to pass on that. So yeah, there's the two circles overlap. That's where both of the things are present together. Possums and broadcasters only in Oakland. Yeah. So then how long before the NBA is there?

They've already got a nice footprint there with that G league in the summer. They were, it felt like they were going to be the first ones that were going to be there. It was Bettman in a race with the NBA who was going to get there first. And then you talk Canary in the Coal Mine, the Hot. the hockey team shows up. They're a rousing success. And then everybody else has got to be like, well, if the hockey team can do it,

then for sure we can do it. I thought that the NBA would beat the NHL back to Seattle. It's been ages. And that's a phenomenal basketball market. I don't know why there isn't more talking about it. There's some actually really, really small man markets in the NBA. Like New Orleans is tiny. Charlotte's not a huge city.

They're so high. They're so high in Seattle. I'll get to it, man. We'll get to it. What's your rush, man? The third largest city in America. Third? Yeah.

Chicago, Greater Chicago? Houston. Used to be. Houston now. Yeah. It's Houston. They got a basketball team. They don't have possums in their press box.

Hockey. Great rank for hockey. Awesome ring for hockey. Pickleball? Don't need to build one. Major League pickleball? A lot fight? Major league cricket.

Retro, your weekend plans include Major League Baseball in New York where the Blue Jays and Yankees square off. Walk us through the slate this weekend. Today's a game day, Saturday's a game day, Sunday's a game day, Kakucci Manoa Gosman against Kerman, Cole, and Schmidt. Somewhat concerned with the weather outlook for tomorrow. Should be at the game tonight. I'm not.

I've got to coach kids hockey for. sake early flight out tomorrow morning drop the bag at the hotel get my judge jersey on and my blue jace hat on head down to the ballpark do not go anywhere near the bleachers you are going to get absolutely heckled like you've never heard in your life if you try to go jays hat he's wearing yankee's jersey he's he's he's fibbing he's fibbing to all of us go to the sweets here. Sweet. No, we saw him. Every pulled up to Yankee Stadium there. He went and bought the jersey and had the hat on.

Got a boy. We're going to watch guys. Are you taking the trains? You're going to take the train with all the with all the common? Oh, in the city? Subway. Subway. Yeah.

Yeah. Yes. Got it. It's fun. Sweet. FC last night Canadian Championship. Any Canadian team professional semi-pro, MLS, CPL, other, all squaring off in a big bracket. Winner takes all you're the champs of Canada. They started with a tough match of Pacific. This is one-one to kicks we go. Calvaries, I believe, Joe Mason.

Go ahead. Go ahead. So there are the Canadian Championship, just like that. Cruel. Back and forth they went. Really? That's it. Done. It's one and done. And stupid Pacific got the host. A bunch of jerks.

You get a draw on the road in soccer? That should come on now. Went to kicks. We'll play them again on Sunday in league play, and not in Canadian championship play. I will wish them well there. So there's your, they win five three on kicks, I believe.

Good night, sweet prince. Ooh, they hit them all. Marco Carducci. Yeah, Shuffler's favorite player. Their first home. game be April 30th. That is not this weekend. The following one, Tommy going to be on next Thursday on the program. Finally, got some video sent from Rob Ray. Now, you would remember, Dino, way back, Rob Ray referenced the Warner Family reunion. And I don't know if it was a joke or if you'd

actually attended or only heard stories, but some video has surfaced. I don't know what year this was, where you took the show on the road or if this is back in Saskatchewan, but this is a monster your truck going through a puddle at the Warner Reunion. Now, what year is this, Red? Walk us through what is happening here. This is early 90s. The grandma's still got her license at that time. She's behind the wheel there. Given her.

It's a big truck. Gladys. It's just outside of Frontier. Is this near Oxbow? Calac. That's Cadillac. That's Cadillac. Catalac area. I think it's going pretty good here, but we don't know how deep it is, and now this is where

it seems like, what were you feeling at this point? Was it still Grandma in control at the wheel? I was high. Did you see that smoke that just went up? That was me just blasting it. Yeah, this is before the vapes. You're really a lot of pre-rolls. Water's coming in the doors there.

Yeah, looks clean too at this point. Oh, boy. So we're good. And this getting out part's going to be, oh, boy. I don't remember that. It was so high. You don't remember it.

Oh, it feels memorable. Good times, though. I just could get everyone together, isn't it, Rhett? Where's Stu? Stu was in Red Deer. Stu was in Red Deer. I got pictures of Stu and my brother. They were watching the Blades and the rebels play.

Red Deer up 3-1 in that series, by the way, fellas. The blades lost the pair on the road. Their top, that top guy got absolutely schmucked, laid out the Lenderling for Red Deer. Not good. No, boy. Out on the ice. No good. Teas and peace.

Not like that. The western side of the bracket already through. Seattle swept their opponent. Ditto Camloops. They're waiting in the West Conference final. A little better. We got Winnipeg Moose Jaw, I believe, in the one bracket in the east and the other one, 3-1 red deer.

Obviously, I'm very excited. That's your pender part. Brought to you by Village Honda. Get your piece of the million dollar. an event cash for your vehicle they'll buy yours even if you don't buy theirs sellers receive a tropical cruise for two exclusively at village Honda in the northwest automobile online village honda com they are your dealership for life didn't know it you uh so was that your grandma's was that her monster truck or did you guys rent that or where do you where do you get wow we converted

an old grain truck and into yeah yeah for yeah for the weekend We're in stock tires. I know that. Yeah. How many friggin' people are in that thing? That looks like my pontoon boat on my brother's bachelor party at Emma Lake. We're driving. And speaking of stew, this boat, it's a party boat.

We're leaving the bar heading back home and we're cruising. And I look over the side and there's about this much float before we dig into the front. And Stu's like, I better take over. Get the bilge going here. Well, 2,000 beers do weigh a lot. Yeah. Well, the good news, though, is that so many people weren't wearing clothes, that's what kept them buoyant.

If they'd been wearing clothes, they would have sunk for sure. Yep. I put together a little something, and now it's obviously NHL playoffs, and we're always very hockey focused, and we get dialed in on the hockey, but also the basketball is going. And we've talked about this in the past, because there's just no better broadcast analyst show desk,

whatever you want to call it, than what the NBA has on TNT. And ESPN, they've got, they got Biz, Paul Biss and that, and they're trying to recreate it. And they're trying to. It's TNT. Sorry. Is it TNT for them? Yeah, because ESPN's is, yeah.

Because I saw the other night they had cellios on there and Mark Messier, and they're trying. Yeah. Everyone's trying to recreate what the TNT broadcast is for the NBA. It's Ernie Johnson is the host. Kenny Smith is to his right. And then you've got Shaq and Charles Barkley. And again, you can't force what they have. They just have a playful relationship.

They get along. They're both very good. And they're not deep into the playoffs. But already, here's a little bit of a best of Charles Barkley Shack from the TNT broadcast. What kind of balls are those? I'm going to tell you something. If y'all drop ping pong balls on my head. No, he would say to them.

They made me do it. We're just doing a good job of having good spacing. Derek, what, 26 points in this one, 11 out of 16 from the floor, two out of five. Yes, sir. That Derek Watt of Stephen A. Shee. Damn, Derek. See, we love you, Stephen A.

I join you in the head shake. Yes, sir. Damn, Stephen A. Stephen A, he played for the Celtic. He did first take in the morning and played for the seventh. Guys, average in 25 points a game in the series. And here, these guys going like this. That's all right.

But you know what the craziest part about that is? that is what yeah he combed like that the crazy part of the crazy part of our derrick white's game is that could be Malcolm Brockin shak is dying that could be what Malcolm Brock they're doing the same exact thing that he's like they have two guys that have the same advantage as these two guys you'll never find bo bo boom a hairline like my oh man i get what you're saying Y'all act like y'all didn't notice that. I get what you're saying, kidding.

Y'all like you've never seen Derek White ever in your life. I never seen it like that. I'm kind of got two juggling two balls right here. Because on one hand, I'm really proud of what the Grizzlies did. I mean, that made me proud to be a basketball player. Like, hey, let's just go and compete and see what happened. And then we've got the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Denver Nuggets to close it out. Charles, you have this befuddled look on your face.

Yeah, I have a problem with that game starting at 1030. I do have a problem with that. It's not going to be starting at 1030 in Denver. It's not the point. It is the point. It's not the point. Listen, man, we had the whole data ourselves. We should have played 1 o'clock, 3 o'clock.

To have that last game at 10.30 Eastern, just just wrong. I don't care what anybody says. Yeah, that's your opinion. No, I know. It's my opinion. I told you my opinion. It should not be starting that game at 830 Denver time. So you can whine how you want?

You want some cheese with that wine today? No, I'm not whining. Be excited, Chuck. I'm excited for the game, but I just don't think it's fair to have them playing that late. All right, well, take your over. That's the bad day. I'm not going to go to the kids. No, it's just wrong.

Listen, we got to have some respect for the fans at some point. It ain't fair for the people in Denver to be playing the 8-30 at night, and they've got to go to school tomorrow, so stop it. Alonzo Marning, Mark Eden, the Kim Bay. And you so you really have to say, well, I got to beat two guys. And so when Jared, would you quit waving non-defendant? You didn't put me on that list? No, you're not a defender.

No. I wasn't a shot blocker. You wasn't? Underdog, where'd I ring in shot block? I'm in the top ten. Because you're big at hell and everybody else. Okay, so put me on that damn rest. No, no, you weren't a shot block.

I wasn't looking at you like that. Bro, I'm in the top ten. You're just big and ugly, but that's another story for another time. I can't have those things, man. I can't have those. Why? Because remember, I cheated today with the doughnuts. Come on, you can have a little d'uro.

You know I'm fasting. You weren't fasting this afternoon. Yeah, I can't cheat twice. Just take a bite. Those things are warm, man. Just to eat one bite. No, no. I ate a whole doughnut today.

Shout out to the Dunk and Donut people, too. That were really awesome. Take one, Chuck. Give me a little piece. I have a little bit. Chuck, take one. Come on, man. I'm going to take a little piece.

Ken, ate a piece of my fist tonight. Here you go. If you had to describe it in one word, what would you say? Kind of like you are right now, a little bit of impatient. Oh, get him, Chuck, get him, Chuck, get him, Chuck. What could this possibly be, Chuck? Half hands, Chuck. Go in there.

Come on. Oh, you're being so sorry. It's all right. It's like it. You can. Go in there. in there. What's your head of that?

Both hands. Oh, my God. It's not going to hurt you. It's not going to hurt you. It's going to hurt you. Speaking of that, it's going to hurt you. Speaking of that guy named James, James. Chuck's what's up? Because we do want to show the James Harden play. And that I want to

see it again before I say something. Oh, but perfect. Thanks for holding your fire. Okay, here we go. Royce O'Neill defending Hardin. And a shot to the groin. Well, they're looking. Well, see, the key to this play is, Ernie, you can't hit them in the groin. You've got to kick them in the groin. Then you won't get caught. If you kick him, you can get away with it. You'll get a flagrant one. Yes, exactly right. So kids at home, do not hit guys in their junk, kick them in the junk. Sending them into the playoffs. I'm Rudy Goberra. You can't hit somebody and run backwards.

You can't hit somebody run backwards. They run backwards. Run backwards. And beer puts the basketball in Ricky Spakes, Markley swings. Oh, Markley did not like, oh. That's what's that. One of the Not bad.

I'll tell you, man. They're what, a half round in? Jeez. Right? Like that's a play. And part of it is that they were talking about the Stephen A thing. It's one o'clock in the morning

by the time they're doing that. So you're punched drunk and tired and giddy and you can't stop laughing. But they're, have something so special there with those two guys how do you turn it off if it's half time you're not going away from that you might miss something unbelievable yes might tune in it's special stuff uh and i feel for everybody that their job from some executive well do what they do on t and done on the nba with jack and and charles do what they do we want it to be

funny and you can't recreate that yeah i will say unique and special humans. TNT's done a great job with their hockey. Last year I happened to be in the States in June, and so it was Eastern Conference, Western Conference, back and forth, alternating nights. And the ESPN one, it's just like, ugh, this is just, you can see what they're trying to do,

it ain't working. Messier, we talked about it, great player, horrible quote. Cellios, and P.K., it feels like he's trying too hard. That panel did not work for me. And then every other night you get Biznasty and Gretzky and Rick talk it at the time. It was phenomenal. It wasn't the NBA brought.

But I mean, it's night and day, the ESPN to TNT. The TNT's, they're close in terms of like having a, maybe the best panel and hockey for comedy, some laughs. And I don't know that we'll ever get that in Canada. It's too serious a thing. But business nasty's hilarious. We know that from the podcast. And Wayne's been way better than I thought he'd be. Well, and the thing there is, Wayne likes Bisonet.

That's the key to that whole thing working. Yeah. Because if Wayne isn't down with the dumb stuff that Biz is going to do, then it's probably just awkward and it doesn't work. But you can tell he's genuinely entertained by him. Remember, where was it where Biz came in and read the starting lineup for the Oilers during the playoffs last year? They're traveling together on the private jet and doing stuff together.

So there's some hope there. But I just, I don't know. I love Charles. I'm a sucker for him. And you're right. half, three quarters of a round. I don't know how far they are in, but it's must watch TV kind of stuff.

That should be, see, Retro, that's what you should be doing. Having churros and running around. I'll be good with churals. Absolutely. Chocolate dip sauce, maybe some caramel. Yeah. Like a good churial. I don't have a lot of experience in the churl world.

It's fried dough and it's tasty. It's not the only thing. Yeah, I've just never had. Put some sugar on it. Yeah. I haven't had a lot of churros. You know what? Is it mini donuts basically, right?

Similar vibes, yeah. Be a little crispier and maybe a cinnamon. Yeah. And they're not round. They sure aren't round. I was thinking of buying one of those trucks one time. Those mini donut trailers, right? You just haul it around and then you get the ice cream bucket full.

Yeah. You would have had a happy life, but it would be over by now, Dean, if you did that. Well, it's almost over as it is. You said that 10 years ago. Can you imagine if you just had one of those, if you just had a mini donut truck in your, in your driveway at all times? Yeah, you die in two years.

Yeah, I'm starving. Probably takes a while for that oil to heat up and stuff, but man, that cinnamon sugar, I could, you know, put me in a bathtub with that sugar and just roll me around. Dela. Gross. Right? Oh, thanks. Ask the person I live with to do that.

Yeah, roll yourself around, Dean, sorry. Oh, she'd be more disgusted than you. Trust me. Gray Eagle, resort and casino. We mentioned it yesterday. Tickets. Tickets. We'd be watching our social media accounts for Flames Nation.

Flames Nation on Instagram and Twitter, Whitney Cummings. Stand-up comedian, one of the best, not just female, but one of the best stand-ups working today. She's going to be at the Griegel on Tuesday. There you see, at April 25th. We've got a pair of tickets, or maybe two pair of tickets. Either way, get in on the content. and we will be awarding those tickets, obviously prior to Tuesday,

And it's the weekend if you're thinking, well, what could we do something different? Why don't you go play the piano? Hey, little money down, have some drinks, have a good time. You never know who might show up and start doing some high kicks on top of the stage bar.

You just never know. And if you're like... Anything can have. Jack, I mean, they might just give you two drinks every time you order one. Just hands full. Let's go. Every time I went to get a drink, they gave me two. That's not how it goes, but by all means still go to the Grey Eagle. Whitney Cummings on Tuesday.

Betway bets of the day in a moment. I want to remind you about Jasper Travel before we tap out here. Hard to think about it today. It's all wet and gross, but. Camping if you're a camper do you like camping red love camping tent or do you need a trailer mm how many days weekend three nights three's too many need a camper two nights in a tent possible hmm funky after two days I was taking long weekend yeah well either way you can

find your summer camping trip yeah That's the number. Maybe you want to do only two days. You can reserve your front and back country spots now. The Jasper Sky Tram is open. The golf course will be opening about a month's time. But as we speak, the spring skiing is in full swing. Open until May 1st at Marmot Basin.

Warmer Temperatures obviously makes the experience delightful. The escape card still available, half-price lift tickets across the board. And we mentioned the Marmot Basin Cirque, vast and impressive new terrain above the tree line, bowls and shoots, shoots and balls up at the marmot basin, sir.

Travel jasper, beautiful stuff. Paddyo season. Let's go. Apri skis unreal. Yeah, man. What are we doing for the weekend, men?

What's happening? Going to New York City. It's going to be tough to beat that. Two nights? Where are you staying? Yeah, right. Can't say, hey. Hotel, Manhattan.

Give us, yeah, give us a, are you, it's Manhattan, are you like, are you in the garment district? Are you near Times Square? Are you by the park? I actually have never stayed at the hotel we're staying at, so it's a new experience for me. Good for you.

Try new stuff. Yeah, get nothing there. Anything planned beyond the ballgame? Obviously, you're not going to Madison Square Garden. I think we've pretty much covered that. I don't think I am. I'd love to, if, a show?

depending if i can i'd go to two games and i might go to a show but if i can get two ball games in i'll be happy go see some comedy try out some restaurants find some speak easies drink till the sunrises club might be good on saturday night did you go to that book of mormon uh i think i did when it passed it would it like what five years ago that was red hot i think it was bleeping hilarious i've uh i've seen it twice outstanding yeah yeah i might go to that Do that. Yeah. It's outstanding.

And I know you can book tickets online, and that's pretty much how you have to do it, because the comedy seller is kind of the legendary one in New York. And it's always full. Probably even if you went today to get tickets. Oh, for an NHL alum. You never know who might drop in. That's one of those places where it's, oh, and please welcome Chris Rock. What?

Could happen. Oh, look, Eddie Murphy's here. Eddie, do you want to come up and grab the mic? Well, that's what Joe Rogan opened a new joint down in Austin, and the people were there the other night, and Bill Burr stopped in to do a sound. Oh, that's what these guys do. A lot of the comedians that do the full hours on Netflix or HBO,

they've got to work their shit out. Yeah. So they'll just kind of, hey, can I get on? So they'll bump some ham and egger. And then like truly, that's Kevin Hart or whoever. Jerry Seinfeld has done that a bunch, where they just kind of pop in, do a quick five, six minutes, and they're out. So, Matt, if you were there in Seinfeld or someone like that dropped in,

that, whew. Yeah, cool. For sure. Okay, let's do our Betway bets. The Betway app on your phone. Playoff basketball, playoff hockey, obviously, baseball. Are you going to put a wager down on the game you're at tomorrow? That always makes it more fun.

You're at the game. Now, do you have in front of you out, what's the overrunner for RET on beers? Is it six and a half of those tall, clear? Glasses? Plastic cups? I got right torched the last time I went to the game to the point where probably was over a graph. I was just so excited to be at the ballpark again. Knowing I got a chance to go to two, I think I'm going to be a little bit tamer.

I found the bar as well, the bar bar where you can get a real drink. So I'm thinking a couple of beer and then a couple of well drinks. I went one time and I whatever stub. or whatever and wasn't planning on going to the game went I got nothing else to do let's go to the game like last minute went on stub hub and they were at the time it was the Audi club seats and they were like 20 30 bucks a seat come on club sounds like it would be okay oh yeah it was uh you torqued is that the word you torqued was that free food or not that high end it was not quite that

but yeah it was pretty good that is the move if you ever get a chance buy tickets in the second inning they get real cheap yeah I would rather have something than nothing I'll take 20 mm-hmm okay betway bets bet way don't condoning any of that kind of behavior they want you to be responsible that's the thing about betway please be responsible here's our bets of the day the round one action I took some of the pre-built bets on the app Marty nature and Jason Robertson both to get a point plus 130. Now Dallas on the road, Carolina, looked pretty good through two games,

but I'll take the plus 130, and then it'll bark off and boldy. There again, both to get one point or more, plus 120. And if you go into the app, they have a bunch of those pre-built bets. And as far as the points, they're not picking plumbers.

They are giving you some very good players, star caliber players. So if you hit on some of these, you start to, you know, that old bankroll starts to get fat. Like what you're thinking, Dean. I'm going the same way. Just maybe, you know, a little more risque as I'm going goals, not just points. We'll start with Leon, Drysidl, and Carole Caprizov. There are two guys you're comfy scoring with.

It's Carill at home for the wild and Drysiddle. Well, he's just leading the universe and goals in the playoffs. So, yeah, plus 300 there. Love that number. And then how about this? Boston and Florida would be the highest scoring game of the night. Okay, so Islanders, Carolina, that's probably low scoring, I guess. Dallas, Minnesota, Gustafsson back, that could be lower scoring.

A little worried about L.A. Edmonton, but how about this? O-Mark, game time decision, Alex Lyon, both these teams have put up a big number already. That's the highest scoring game of the night, plus 245. Betway bets, get the Betway app on your phone. Be responsible, 19 years of aged over in Ontario and all that sort of stuff. Thank you to Betway. We'll have a great weekend to you, Retro. Take some photos, give us some vids,

come back with some stories, looking forward to talking to you next week. Everyone else obviously have a great weekend. I wonder in terms of the Calgary Flames, when not that we're really waiting for any news, we obviously expect, it seems at this point, that Daryl's going to be back. There's nothing confirmed,

but I just wonder when some news might start to trickle out. Do we hear from Daryl? Or would he just say, nah, I don't need a season ending event. availability. Typically, you hear from the coach. We don't need one. Yeah.

And if you're doing an exhaustive search, it should be a while because a lot of the teams are still going and you're not going to pluck guys right now. Yeah, Donald only talked about it. It's not a super pressing timeline on the GM front, but definitely you want to get your list together. All right, buddies.

Thanks for being a part of the barn burner. We'll see you next week. See, yep. Oh, there suck.
