Oh, hey, buddies. How we doing? Welcome to the show on another snowy. Beautiful January day. Another snowy, yeah, January day. Honestly, you'd take this in Jan. Boy, nice, mild, mighty. No, I don't need to take this at any point. Christmas Eve is when I want this.

Yeah, this would be all right, Christmas Eve. Maybe even before that. No, not too early because I still want to get to the mall to get all the shit done I need to do without it being too sloppy. Snow gloom. 23rd-ish. 23rd, 24th, 24th. 5th, 26th. Christmas Day. You want a white Christmas. I do want a white Christmas. Even a buildup. Even a little bit of a buildup. What would you be singing if it were like the 24th right now?

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. Or what's that one I sang? It was really, I made it famous. Red's nuts. That one's good. Yeah. No. I sang it at the. You made it famous? Yeah. I sang it at the old place. Well, you did a lot of singing. Amazing Grace. Amazing Grace was big. Yes. I wanted you to sing Amazing Grace last year at the draft, and you said no. Yeah, why you such coward?

I wasn't inebriated or not. Can we work on that? I wanted to bring Red up and say, we were going to do the nat. Here to sing the anthem. Here's Rett, and then he would just sing Amazing Grace. But not the actual Rett's version of it, which changes. It's fluid. Turn my cans down a little.

You're blasting me out of it. Hey, Jack Attack. turn my cans up a little. Oh, yeah. See, you were sitting over here, weren't you? I was. Yeah, there you go. As Rhett said before in the pre-show, welcome to a three-banger here on the show today. As we are all in studio, now we await to see what piece of gear will fail.

I want to make an observation just because I realize my setup in Buffalo is quite unique and attractive. Jankey's the word. Oh, Jankey. But this, this is... Dead! This is professional.

This is so high end. Now I see what you guys are talking about. If we can just hang a Bill's flag behind him. Now I see what you guys are talking about. Don't blow our cover. Don't let people have no idea. They think it's great. Yeah, you're sitting in front of a small tripod with a tiny camera on it.

What a really low couch, too, I've noticed. It is. camera than yeah well you know here was our thinking on that because we've got the couch over there with the foot peg still on it yeah yeah yeah we took the feet off of the love seat so that it could sit in front and be down just a little bit so you could have almost the interceding for the TVs that we put up and then one's been taken down i don't know where it is it's in the next two and uh the other one just sits there and never gets turned i could use that one yeah my what my tvs in the house are so old You know what you get used to a smart TV.

They actually works. Like these were first version smart TVs. So not that smart. They're not smart at all. I'm smart. Now that place in Buffalo, you pulled the, the owners you rented from out of storage. Great TV.

Yeah, upstairs. Take that one home. Now, do you still have the one that you dropped when you were taking it off the wall at your place here and it fell and I don't think so? Didn't it give that away as a present for someone? That was a while ago. That was a while ago. That was a different one.

Well, we got a lot to do today. Oh, it's game day. Okay. Penultimate game of the flame season tonight. You're going to be done with that word pretty quick here. Yeah. So you can only use it until that one's done. And then you're on the last one.

So ultimate. Yeah. You're on the ultimate. So Thursday against San Jose feels like the ultimate. There's nothing. Well, as long as San Jose shows up like they did last night. Yeah, they look good. Oh, I turned off at 9-1, but I might have missed a lot.

because that was still pretty early. Yeah, I'm trying to think. It was three. I think they had three on the board when I flipped it on quickly and then. I don't know if sounds they had a shot before the third goal had gone in. Yeah, it was either three. Yeah, it was three nothing and they had one shot. Oh my God.

That's enough. There's two nothing. No shots the other way. That's enough. Yeah, I got it. So for the Calgary Flames, get your helmets on. It's a game day. They're in Vancouver to play the Vancouver Canucks who are off to the playoffs.

Life's good. Yeah, right. Yeah. They're happy. They're loving life. They can cinch up top spot in Pacific with a victory tonight. High as a kite. Also not snowing.

Not snowing there, we don't think. Good weed there, I've been told if you're into that kind of stuff. Go to the aquarium. Get whatever the hell you want. You don't stop there. Yeah.

The weed was big in Philly, I noticed. Really? Big everywhere. You go walk down the streets in New York City. It's everywhere. It is a heavy haze. Yeah.

Well, there's a lot of stress in people's lives. I guess. now if if you were allowed people to just kind of drink liquor like in Vegas which I think is legal but I think don't know how legal it is

Yeah I can walk down the strip and up Which is my thought But I don't know if it's Anyway Would we see as many people Every time you get a whiff Of the gonja Would that be the equal to watching

Somebody just taking a tug on a Mickey Or having a quick Bud light or something Oddly I was watching Slurpy booze things watching curb last night and he had the flask that's right so everyone grab a flask yeah and we'll just old school yeah it's acceptable it's whatever you needed to be i guess yeah just waiting for the fun guys to get acceptable let's roll are they not already no soon though right i thought that was pretty close

very close great investment opportunities that's what they said about weed i don't know that it's true but they didn't say that because that was very some of the places that have opened up the the doors to the drugs oh yeah have realize that maybe we got a little loose and they're starting to close the doors again. Is that right? Down in the States. Yeah, some of those cities where we don't charge you for the school, whatever you need to do. It's so hard to get it.

It's not going to go stores for people to find something. Yeah. People are loving it. Loving it. I had to, are we talking flames yet? Yeah. I had to MF a, MRI. MF a lady yesterday.

Whoa. Me. Because I went to the movie Civil War. Yeah. But I book seats in the VIP. Whoa. So I was taking my kid with me, who actually looks 18.

Yeah. But she was IDing him and giving him. I'm like he's with his father. Like, what are we? We're in here to do something. Yeah, your booze. Yeah, we're going to sit here at the bar before. I drink with my children.

So was he trying to get a drink or just get into the movie? Couldn't even get into the movie. Is that right? Oh, no. IDing for a R-A-to-film? It was in the VI. It was in the. 18 plus section.

Oh, I guess. Now what comes with the VIP? Is that like unlimited popcorn or? Nothing. They deliver your food to your seat. You don't have to miss anything when you want to It's like a door dash right at the theme. Love it. Yeah.

All you need is catheter's built in and you don't miss a moment. Yeah. Yeah. We believe Thatcher Demko is going to be back for Vancouver tonight. That sounds like it. Yeah. Old Thatch. Just in time to get a couple of reps before they play somebody in round one.

Yeah. He has, I was looking this morning, 14 games was injured back on the 9th of March. Koducks without their number one goal tender, went 7, 5, and 2. Which for them, is not great given the season that they've had because they are quite good.

That's basically Dustin Wolf's record. He's 7-7 and 1 all the time. So would you say with, if they'd have kept them, they might have done better? Might have done a little better. I'd agree with that, yeah. Might have done a little better. He is a better goalie than Casey to Smith.

No offense, Casey to Smith or anyone. What about Archer's? sea lobs. Is he better than sea lobs? A small sample, but I'd suggest he is. All right. Yeah. Fair enough. Canucks are just good. Let's make fun of Lindholm. Yeah, we can do that. Well, you guys thought he was pouting. Maybe he's just not good guys. Wouldn't that be something? Because there's nothing to pout about there. You're like a one seed. He missed seven games. He's got five goals, five assists in 24 games as a Canuck. Five goals, five assists in 24 games.

Kuzmanko has what, 14 goals. He almost did it. I know. And which is odd for Lindholm and it is odd for the Canucks. And again, I know people, oh, the plus minus or whatever. He's a minus six, which for him is odd. And on the Canucks, everybody's well into the pluses. Yeah, well, he missed that heater they were wrong. They've been just okay since the trade.

He's supposed to help them not. He certainly was. Yeah, they get over the first and a lot to get him. Well, I mean, Kuzmiko has been considerably better than him and was more of a throw in slash balance the money type thing for Vancouver. Never mind the first. Never mind Bristevich, the really good defensive prospect of the O, never mind the what, Yermot? Another defenseman and a conditional.

Yoni Yermot? Like, it's, that is absolute trade slaughter right there. Connie, chalk up two Ws for that one. And it's another one of those things where, well, we don't think the Canucks are going to be able to sign him. I don't think the Canucks are going to want to sign him. The Canucks are not signing him. Right? At his number. I mean, unless they have, if he's awesome in the playoffs, he can make up a lot of ground, but. But they got to pay ironic this summer.

They're already going to be way too tight against. Just in terms of his value, though, like what his, what he's done. It's still remember noodles. He's driving up highway too, just firing buckets of cash out of his car. Pouring him out the window. He is. And it's not gotten any better.

Now, you have a playoff. You're a center. You can somewhat redeem your cell. Somewhat, though. You're not getting what you would have got last year. No. The offseason. money you said no to is you're it might be 60 70% of that now so this that's the catch right we applaud

guys you bet on yourself you go out you prove it you do it yeah good on you know aniffin did that and he got it he got to a contender he got more after tax money and yeah like like let go Noah wow bet on yourself look at that good job Noah uh Elias let him not so good man you're a real idiot you should take yeah and that's another one there's no way because it didn't happen and so there's no way to kind of qualify it or put it into a column or anything but what a what a huge bonus for the flames to not have given to not have nine million oh for him not to have taken a contract points or 25 games yeah yeah yeah be pretty bleak around here if you had that and huberdow and jesus it's kind of like we'd talk yeah and we were always saying well he's the guy you want yeah well and when he was the number

one center like that was he just ain't that this year i don't know that he'll be that again. Maybe he's a number two He's the number three center for Vancouver right now. They got him playing with Connor bleeping Garland. He's a two, and Dakota Joshua. Your son is here. Tell the dope.

Oh, he's brought the, he's brought the, can hand him to your father. What did you call them? Pooh tickets. The poo tickets. We're out of,

hand them over to the old man here. No, I don't want him. Yeah, let's see what you got. What did we get? Oh, the ultra plush. Push. Geez, look at that. Free plugs for Royale.

Royal. Well, with cheese. Our who's going to be great. Deserves the very best. So that's made with baby cats. Impressive. Very nice kitten fur.

Try that out. Do you think people have done that? Just taking the nice white little kitten and the caveman is for sure. I could tell you the worst. I can't even say it. Come on. Do it? Okay.

Yes, you can. I'm not name and name. Because I know where you're going. Come on. I've told you this. Yeah. So big fisherman friend. Fisherman's friend goes up out east and one of those provinces out there where you can catch musky.

Uh-huh. What do they use? for bait don't say it yeah not cool jack wants to know what you're talking about what do they use for bait i don't know what they use for bait i heard rumors that this was they would use that for bait we don't condone i don't i can't confirm or condone using kittens or anything as bait dead puppies is bait how dare you don't do it is my kid want this or not i don't know no he's not here anymore What times this game tonight? Six.

Oh, Yeah, wrong way. There's an hour time change. You're right, Red. Yeah. Vancouver's still not in the central time zone. Still.

Wrong way. We keep trying. We keep trying. Yeah, Kuzmiko, heater that he's on right now. May as well keep going, I guess. Yeah, as long as you're going. Nine games, 16 points. Nazum-Codry.

Show up, Lindholm, for sure. Yeah. For sure. Did he play? Have they played? They played since the... When we were at Greta. Yeah.

Didn't he get one, too? scored one or two? I was hammered. Right. Yeah, I was right out of it. We actually had two credit games against Vancouver, now that I mentioned it. One was before the one was before.

And Nazim Khadry, who we talked a little bit about, which we said we're going to put a pin in, which you don't need to visit today. I got a little Nassam Khadry note. Oh, yeah. Again, and I've trotted this one out a few times. His start to the season was, not good eight games one assist is how he started the season yeah and in the 72 games since then

73 points part per game gnazum is gravy baby yeah so he's been as down as we were 365 ago yeah with this guy out this time we were it was that awful game against was a chicago second or third last game of the season we were ready to run him out of town well it looked like he was ready to run himself out of town to be fair, but despite all that, he has been superb this year. Superb. What would you just have the overrunner on points? Like, it's been excellent. He's flirting with 30.

He has been. Yeah. Don't know that we saw that coming. No, I sure didn't, Ryan. The power play. Heater. It is rolling. Marksavard, you extend him.

He is so happy right now. God, he's a genius. Oh, he is just loving life. Is this the Matt Canada? We keep in Matt Canada? What are we doing, Jack? all savvy he's he's he's he's putting down payments down now he's like oh this is good yeah I've always good like in a place out in canmore I love the mountains uh power play has scored

in eight of their last nine and over that nine game stretch 41.9 percent jeez small sample but it is a small sample but could again they haven't had a sample like that all year to be fairly that's been none of those samples no no take a few more no nothing quite like that so uh Hey, you know what? It's good for Vancouver. Now, what's the ballpark on that? Who are they playing? Vancouver? Well, they're likely to get wildcard one, which would be Nashville, most likely.

But again, Nashville's not locked into wildcard one, I believe, and Vancouver's not locked into Pacific Division I. Does that jingle our bells? Not really, but I think it could be sneaky good. We just have to keep our expectations low. Because this is going to be some first-time jitters for Vancouver, guys. They played one playoff thing in the bubble in Edmonton. nothing that's a real playoff series for this group none of them i shouldn't say none of them but

like the core we're talking about here it's you know what i'm having a problem with what's not i look at the teams make the playoffs i don't like who's playing who like there's there could be some even i was hoping vegas edmonton yeah still could you know i was kind of but yeah la edmonton again vancouver nashville doesn't no i mean it's not that it's it's it's going to be bad hockey it's It's just optically before it starts, you're like, oh. We're going to get five or six bangers. You guys are focused on the three bad ones. That's half almost.

One of the islanders and the Rangers, that isn't going to happen. No, that's actually one of two matchups that is locked in. Isles and Carolina is going to happen. And the other one that's been locked in for a bit is Winnipeg, Colorado. It's actually odds out for those two series already on Batway, which I was looking at. And Winnipeg, the home team, but I think Colorado's favored, correct? Uh, yes. And, but can Colorado still catch them?

That I wonder. Let's look right now. Jets have two games remaining. They have more reg wins. They got a point. Yeah, it's abs. Yeah, if one of big loses out in the abs run their last game, it could be a Colorado home series.

Yeah. Oh, well, we'll watch it, right? I'm gonna, we're gonna watch it. I think I would. Jets abs will be really good. Yeah. Dallas Vegas could just be clash of the Titans round one because Vegas will be healthier.

We know that already with Markstone skating, hurdles starting to look like a significant contributor there scored in the last few if I'm correct. And this is not me taking a run at the, because it's kind of a, everybody's getting all, hey, we should redo the playoffs and we should go back to one versus eight. This is not me doing that. No, it is. I'll just say it is too bad that we will lose one of Florida, Toronto in round one

and one of Winnipeg, Colorado round one. If you start one by eight, you're going to do the same thing. The four-fives are going to be real good. It's just unfortunate. It is unfortunate. I could see. Florida, Toronto is a four-five matchup in the east if you start one through eight. So no matter the format, you're losing one of them.

Sorry. I'm sorry. I just like having them around because it gets everybody invested. Well, what if they win? Even better. It really is good. Well, you want the station to believe that they're good and then have their hearts ripped out and pull out of their chest. Like last year, we want Florida.

Exactly. Yeah. Yes. All right. Here's Florida. Here you go. Narrowly a wood sweep. Cablamo.

Cablamo. Now last night, we were, now we were talking yesterday about our buddy Jack. We were all on board with Jack. It was the penguins must win territory. Tattoos. We were all getting tattoos. We were. Yeah.

Might still. Probably not, but might still. But so much going on last night. And I was telling Ryan, my daughter, she's all into hockey all of a sudden, just flip of a switch about a month ago, six weeks ago. And I said, you know, tonight, you're going to get a chance to see what this is all about. Yeah. Because there's four teams. Three of them are playing.

we don't know who's into the playoffs they got to win this whole thing so we were bouncing around third period and we stumbled upon the Detroit uh that we were watching Pittsburgh and I said well they're up four to two and I think Detroit has just they were down they were down four to one and four to two I think maybe we should go watch this Detroit game yeah so jack let's uh let's go here and take a little look see because this is kind of what we ended up watching last night and we all watched it together I thought you're fishing for musculoscious so you're 52 the Another one came out, but the octopus hit the ice with 10 and a half to go in a 4-2 Montreal lead over Detroit. Across, quick shot.

Augustus Bear, Peron, cuts to the middle. Down low, Raymond, chance to shoot. He's got. He's got. Look at that crowd. What a night. Wow. It's been a long time in Detroit. I'm okay with Detroit now.

I am too. It's Cain. It's DeBricketit. It's cider. It's a fan base that's been starving. You could not make this up. Unbelievable. Oh my.

And if Gostas is Shane Gosses there, he jumps up to keep that puck in. That's a high points that thing. If he doesn't get it, there's a Montreal for we're going down. It's empty net. Yeah. There's 90 seconds left.

You probably lose. Yeah. Right. That would have made it five to three. It's cooked. Yep. And you missed the playoffs. And instead, look at this magic.

Manages to, I mean, I don't, is he, how tall is this guy? He's got some hops. He's got some hops. He's a hooper and a dimer, I bet. But, and again, this is one of those things. And if you're, I guess if you're cheering for anybody else, but if you have no vested interest, you're sudden, you're cheering for the wings.

Well, come on. Now tie this thing and let's get to overtime. Well, okay, now win this thing. Because it sets up a little bit more drama coming up tonight because these two teams, Montreal, Detroit will play back in La Belle Prevent. A night after Rock in Montreal. How about that, right? Sammy, what's his name there?

Sammy Zane. That was a hell of an entrance. Yeah, I sure it was. There you go. Lucas Raymond, pretty good player. Turned out to be. There's people in waiting, right? Was this good for Jack?

Because you started talking to Jack thing. No, this is horrible. The Penguins did win. Oh, that's good, Jack, right? Yeah. We're not going to watch. So, sorry. No, there's nothing about it.

Just to clarify, Jack, last night, Wings winning. It was horrible. Okay. I'm so sick of this guy yelling Raymond. I've watched two Red Wings games. Raymond. Everybody loves them. Everybody loves them.

Because remember, they blew what, a four-goal lead against Toronto on the weekend, only to win an overtime. Leifes almost came back from the dead there. Yeah. Raymond. And then they blew, Pittsburgh blew the game, but they won an overtime because of Raymond. Friggin' Raymond.

Pittsburgh had that on the panel. Steve Y's first ever draft pick. Pittsburgh had that 4-0 lead against Colorado. Remember the highlights of that? They came back and they... Wasn't there another team out there last night that had some say in things? The Washington Capitals. Washington.

They were taking on Austin, right? Juggernauts. And I know I've sat here, maybe all of us, but I've certainly sat here and told you how crappy the capitals are. Boring. They took on Boston, shut them out. Lindgren, his sixth shoutout of the season, 2-0 over Boston. The Capitals, on February 8th,

trailed Detroit by seven points for the final wildcard spot. Cooked. Seven points. And now, and the other game, we mentioned, Pittsburgh does win. So we go into tonight with everything on the line. If you had to guess the four goalies that lead the NHL

with six shutouts. Yeah, it's not a, It's not a Vezna class. Sure isn't. Tristan Jari, Connor Ingram, Charlie Lindgren, Chuck and Serge. Yeah.

Bob Brodsky. Washington, 89 points. They are at Philadelphia. They own the spot. Detroit is in Montreal. They have 89 points. Pittsburgh tomorrow will be at the Islanders. They've got 88.

And as mentioned, Philadelphia. They're hosting Washington. Not dead. 87. should be a very hungry Philly team. They need a lot to go right. And the other teams need Philly to get a result too. Everyone's here in Philly tonight.

Is that tonight? Philly? So yeah, Philly Washington tonight, Detroit, Montreal tonight, Pittsburgh Islanders tomorrow, which may mean nothing by the time tonight. It means nothing for the Islanders already, but if it could mean something for Pittsburgh, my God, that would be we have three nights in a row where it's like, whew. Yeah, the Islanders got it done.

They're locked into the three spot. I don't know how that. I don't either. What was that they had backed? they had matching seven game winning streaks, six or seven game streaks after Patrick Watts. How about it? How about it? Probably too late for coach of the year because he only came in.

I want to say like Feb March. Yeah. But impressive. Old Rick Toshae, he's probably got it. He's had it locked for a while. Probably got it sewn up. But how about sports, hey? How about hockey?

Spots. We haven't even started the playoffs and we're already on the edge of her seats. We're glued to it. Yeah, just glued. Seven out of eight for the islanders. Wow. And the loss in there, they picked up a loser point. Oh, yeah.

Seven, oh, and one. Heading into that Pittsburgh game tomorrow night. If you need it. That's how you lock it down. It's how you lock it down. So well done. So this has been fun. This has been amazing.

We've had games that teams may be not great, but the circumstances made them great. Wouldn't this take the wind out of the sales if you had some stupid playing tournament in a week between these teams? you're like, no, we don't need it. Like if you had to watch St. Louis play Vegas, you're like, I just don't care. Like, no, we don't need that.

I think everything changes, though. It's too simple. You're simplifying it too much. And I'm not, and I'm not fighting. Oh, the last, it wouldn't matter as much because like, oh, well, they got the playing tournament anyway. The last three nights would not be nearly as good because, like, well, they're all going to the plane. Yeah, but every, but the guys trying to get into the playoff tournament would be fighting. It just changes it.

Every year's a little different. I just, like, I keep looking at the nines and tens, each, the last two years, this, this thing been floated and I'm like, no, they don't deserve it. And it's like, no. Well, that's different than would it be exciting? You can have bad hockey teams give you an exciting result. That's what we've watched during nights and roll. I'm saying that that excitement would have drop if we know they're all getting into this tournament.

It wouldn't, though. It wouldn't. You'd have, it would just be two teams lower doing the same thing. Everything changes if there's more teams accessible to a play in tournament. Even your trades are different. As it stands, like if you had nine and ten going, it's the exact same teams. And it just last night would have my time. You're simplifying.

You are simplifying. I'm just looking at the standings telling you how a play in tournament would look. You're saying a play in tournament would take away excitement. Because nine and ten wouldn't have had lose in your seasons over last night. But 10 and 11 would. They're too far back. But they wouldn't be. Well, they are.

I'm looking at the standings. But they would have played different. Everything changes. Your whole approach to your season. Yeah. Your trade deadlines. When Minnesota is out last week, they don't shit themselves against Vegas. Well, they don't, like, okay.

They don't, they don't even pull their goal. Remember, they, Minnesota pulled their goalie? Twice. Twice in overtime. Like, all these things play out differently. You can't. That's fair. That's fair.

I'm not saying it's, I mean, you're, you're definitively saying that it would, well, I mean, it wouldn't be exciting. What I mean is the specific games we watched wouldn't have had as much mag to, but you're right. There might have been Buffalo and New Jersey games that were more exciting. I just, those are even worse fucking teams. And it's like last year if you had to watch Calgary, Winnipeg, like, man the 9-10 teams aren't good they just aren't well last thing it was montreal detroit if you watched too crazy exciting well we had we saw 7 8 9 10 in the east play that's why i was excited

if it's playing tournament they're all already in so you don't like winner take all stuff i do i don't want to tweak a tournament that i think's awesome i think the first round of the n-h-l's the best like why are we messing that up i don't think it really does you're messing it up you're tweaking the tournament and at the portion that i think is the most interesting. I'm not, there's no point. Well, I mean, what's your position on?

Are you four or against it? I'm, if I would want to see, let's take a look at it. I'm not sitting here and saying it would take away. Like, how can you winner take all stuff? When is that ever? Not exciting.

Oh, I mean, you could have 32 teams like the playoffs if you want it. It's just at what point is it worth it versus not? I would say this. If you're going to take this league to 34 teams, you're going to, I think you should have. I think when they expand,

it'll it's coming i don't like it but i feel like it is i think you're hard line on it is i'm not for or against and i'll give a shit because it's fine like watching last night it's great tonight great but that doesn't mean that if you have a play in that it's not going to be great i think whenever you have a game or a setup where winner advances and the loser's season is done do you like the jays uh do i like the jays i love watching baseball do you like when the jays have those i don't particularly love the three wild card setup if you're asking me to be honest it's okay watch it and get excited oh i watch and get excited i just i thought the prior playoff formats are better

it's the more exclusive of the club i mean i don't know we're we're way more excited because you go one more NFL playoff games like kind of some shitty teams i'm like i don't watch it for sure it's tied to revenue the league loves this shit but i'm just looking at the teams beyond 10 in each conference i'm like well how do you differentiate between And like, is St. Louis that much different than the L.A. Kings? Yes. I think out west there is some, but again, St. Louis, who's behind St. Louis even? Calgary.

So Minnesota. They're too far. Yeah. And they might do it. And look, I'm the next year we look at it, it might be totally different. Like, man, if we only have the play in tournament, this would be way more exciting. And there have been years like that. Remember the year in the east where it was like Feb and it was like, oh, all the eight teams are pretty much locked.

What if you had a play in tournament where the east of west, had to combine. See, I'm almost for that. Right. In this day and age with charter flights and everything else. St. Louis, St. Louis, ain't far from. Why does the Stanley Cup final, the two best teams, why does it have to be East versus West?

What if the two best teams are Dallas and Colorado? Well, I'll tell you this. If you want to make it that we're getting ridiculous because it ain't going to have, but if you want it to be more realistic, I've done it. Travel in the East, you have a, way bigger advantage. A massive advantage over the Western Hawks. Like that's when you think about all of it, right?

And it's, well, who's the best team? And then you get to the final, but it's got to be East versus West. Well, it's. Yeah, like, why can't the Islanders and Rangers beat in the final? Why can't they meet in the final? Why does it have to be? You may have a team that comes out of the West or the East in any given year. You could float the one versus 16 thing.

I just think, man, if you got like a Vancouver, Florida in round one, that is just nightmare. It doesn't matter. Why is it? We had shitty travel. We went Detroit, San Jose and Florida. Yeah, Vancouver, Florida is way worse than all those. But yeah.

Well, it's, it's, travel's not fair. Again, you're taking the extreme and it could happen. Yeah. But yes, they don't care. Why is it okay for the Eastern Conference teams to not have to do that? Why is it okay for the Rangers to travel an hour? It's possible they don't leave their freaking. Their bed.

It's all of it, right? Like, Yeah, you could go Islanders, Devils and then like Philly in the East and you can sleep in your bed every night. You can sleep in your bed every night and Vancouver's bouncing all over. Like it's, there are reason for it.

And I don't think that changes anything. I don't think they'll ever do anything different. It's fine. I'm just, if you want the best of the best, that's how it should be. It won't change. No,

no. But I, but I think there's some rationale as to why it should be. It's just because of geography. That sets up, your final two teams are. Seems kind of silly. I get it when you had to take trains or buses or whatever,

but everyone has their own plane now. Wow, the problem becomes if you're playing one to 16 is how do you set up the regular season where it's fair that it's... It's never going to be. You can't say it up fair. There's people now talking about, oh, you've got to adjust salaries for tax climates.

And it's like, no, you don't. Just build good hockey teams. Florida had a great tax time forever and they were dug shit. The thing about life is it isn't fair. No, it sure isn't. Yeah, not fair. So how about that? Service Big Share is back.

$1,000. We were on the show yesterday. we were talking about origin brewing and Barnburner Blonde. Apparently, summer's coming or the warm weather's coming. It's going to be. Yesterday, it's a barn burner weather. Hey, this is beer. Let's go to the patio.

But anyway, you know what we said, if you're drinking barn burner blonde, you take a picture, take a video. Put on your show. We'll put you on the show. If you own an establishment, you got a pub, you got a store, and you're selling the barn burner blonde, we'll put you on the show. This came in yesterday. Come on.

Let's take a look. Hey, I'm Ashton from the Nottie Grape in Okotokes, and we are now carrying the Barnburner Blonde. So this is from the origin, malting and brewing up in Strathmore, collaborating with the Barn Burner podcast, which is, I mean, it's hilarious. It's the only one Mike and I agree on, but the beer itself is super light. It's easy drinking, you know, very crushable, only 4.2%. And it's now available at the naughty grade. Noddy grape and Okotokes pumping and firing out the barn.

Good little review as well. How about it? Crushable. And we're not lying. Delicious. Take a video, send a photo. On the show. On the show.

Notty grape. Far from the house. It really isn't that far from the house. It's a great podcast she was talking about. Yeah, I don't know which one she's talking about. It's the only one we can agree on. Yes, a lot of couples. That's what the show is.

It's about agreeing. and jumbaya really do enjoy it really do enjoy it what what's wrong i don't know is jack mad about something no oh good what do you want to talk about i tried to float a little champions league conversation but no one's interested in that so i'm not try it again fired out there p sg barcelona today one pm clear your throat first no are you feeling okay i'm worried No, my nose is a faucet today. You're dripping. Yeah, I know.

And I haven't even been around, so it's not on me. Can't blame you. I love the fact that you did get sick from your trip. Yes. Yeah. Yes. I would have been tombstoneed into a grave if I had returned home from WrestleMania sick.

Yeah. Truth. Truth. I think you should go right to the Pinder report. Figger? Ficker? You figure? Jack, how are you doing?

It's going to be better than that. this. I'm doing good. The chat's acting up today. What's going on in the chat? You arguing about fried sandwiches again? He's making five accounts and he just wants to piss people off. Oh, come on. This pop again. Well, you know that that's, you know you're excelling in life when you've got time to do that. Just troll the chat. Just show on their internet. It's probably highly successful. Probably Elon Musk sitting there. AI. I'll bet he's got an AI bot. Probably does some kind of bot. Musta has been caught with a few. They call those burner accounts? Remember when Brian Colangelo jumped to his own defense?

It's a normal size collar, bro, pick a new angle. That's right. Because you have the huge custom colors. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just stay out of the comments. Yeah, it's comments. Is what you need to. Just don't ever.

Rhett, don't go into the comments. When you're doing all your social media work, just don't bother going out of the comments. Social media work. Yeah. I'm busy. You get a side hustle that I don't know about? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. It's number 44 only fans. Is that what it is? Yeah. Okay, we can do the paper. Let's do it. I said, new in-stock inventory on the ground over at Village Honda in there.

It's the CRV once again, see? This is why you need a CRV from Honda. No kidding. Unpredictable weather we've been telling you about. No matter the conditions, the CRV sits atop the pack among compact SUVs. You'll feel confident behind the wheel of your CRV. Honda's included a plethora of driver safety features.

They all come standard. Take one for a rip, Bud. Northwest Automol, online, VillageHonda.com and VillageHonda presents the Pinda Report. Just out for a rip, are you, bud? Are you, bud? Just out for a rip? Let's start with, well,

it was going so well, fellas. It was going so well. When the flames decided to do some winning, that green line is the top five. All of a sudden, they're ninth, and they could finish 10th if they did something so stupid as to collect three points in the next two games.

I'm looking at you, Kuzmiko. Settle down. Cadry? Whoa. Savvy, back to the original. Yeah, go back to the old power play. Yeah. Safe now.

Get the Rund home when you need them. Get the roon dog out there. Straight. Equal opportunity ice time tonight. Here's the details from Pike. Remember, fifth wasn't out of sight a week ago. But win here, when there. Seattle needs to earn more points than the flames.

That's not ideal. Seattle has two games left. The flames have two games left. And the flames have a tie break the wrong way. So you need to do less than the Cracken, who've got a tough schedule. So Seattle better get Cracketton. Seattle.

Seattle. Oh, Jack's doing the shopping. Whoa. All right. Shopping. Some rider, Jack. Let's give it a spin. Now the flames down a five,

percent chance. Stinking Ottawa, get out of here. God damn it. Yeah. Chicago. Yeah, it's like a league like they'll come there. And. And so, yeah. This could be no fun. No, this is not must see TV. Wherever. Now here, this is off-air conversation on air. They haven't announced the date or the time for the draft lottery yet. But it will be the second round, usually an intermission. of an Eastern game.

So let's call it six local. I think we should get anyone that's ever done at Afterburner or a Barn Burner, and we all live stream and feel the pain together. But here's the thing, because you know how they do it. They count up. They count up.

Yeah. So how far? 16, 15, 14, 13, 13, 12. And then it's like, uh-oh, the flames can be 11. If two teams behind them win, okay, they're not 11. Now you go to 10.

You're like, please don't be 10. Please don't be 10. and then if they're not there at whatever respective position we will know they will be drafting first or second overall you're ready for this disappointment we have to live it together Dean right

you love misery this is perfect a play in tournament would be boring us doing a live stream of that exciting I don't know that it was a one versus the other but they are going to do the draft lottery here's what we should do we're all going to get together depending on the

cost of alcohol we can make anything. I was going to say, we can empty this beer fridge, put a shift on that and watch the feel pain together. Because they just rattle through those bottom ones. At 16, and Buffalo. And Ottawa. They just kind of rattled through it. Okay, well, no movement

there. And then what is it? Who is the, the guy that blew it last year? You blow it! Going into the commercial break. Oh, so Columbus. Oh, they did have a screw up last year. We haven't done Columbus yet. Whoopsies. Kevin Weeks. That's who it was.

Weeks. It was weeksy. Weeks he's big as a house right now. Is he? You know what? Good on him. No. Why not?

No. Uh-oh. Insulation? Lots. Living in Manhattan. Great restaurants. This is what Frank was saying. It's not his fault.

It's not his fault. It's not your fault. So much good bread out there. They know how to do bread there. Kid me. You get one of those sandwich shops downstairs from us. If you had a New York style pizza place on this block? Well, they'd be closed because of

the construction, but. Oh, other than that. I went to walk through the construction to get there. See that article on the paper the other name? No. Yeah. Is there paper?

They still exist. Something like that. Crazy. What did they say? That's awesome. I'll share it. The old bakery down the street and the. Yeah.

They're not very happy. No kidding. Yeah. May have hurt the numbers. Yeah. Business down considerably. Oh. Yeah.

Which are the bike lanes open up, though, because spikers love bread. Oh, yeah. They pop in real quick. Grab a coffee on the. Yeah, so you get the little cup holder there? For guys like you and me that live in the South part, we'll just hop on our bikes and wheel in. Yeah, it's easy.

Up the river. It'd be a fun bike right up the river. Great. It would be sought. Come on, awesome. All right, let's move. Three stars of the week. We're announced yesterday.

Oh, yeah. Nossum, God, good company. Oh, you know. Hey, bud. Hey, buddy. Hey, pal. You know. It's pretty darn good.

Two points a game. Noss has been great. Roman Yosey's been. on a heater as they, well, they've been sensational the second half. And Austin Matthews, I mean, I guess if you like goal scoring, he's having an okay year.

Pass the puck. Puck hog. Puck hog. We have a hog later in the Pinder report, by the way. Oh, it's delicious. Yeah. A sweat hog? Some fat sweat hog.

85 points and 82 games for Romanios. One of my favorite lines ever. Sensational. Ever. And then it's this season. It was around this time of year. It was round one against the sharks. for the Oilers and some sweat hog.

Yeah. Yeah. And then, you have the guy in Anaheim as well, Burlives or whatever. That was a bad year for fans. Burr lives. Yeah.

Whatever the guy's name was. I tried to grab that. It's just the audio is so bad. It's from so long ago. Yeah. Just couldn't. Someone's peeled enough of VCR. Yeah.

Adjust the tracking. Some fat sweat hog is getting into the ring. Jess. Jesse. Yeah. Yes. That's Adrian Adonis. it's not some fat sweat hog.

Yes. Take a look at the Canucks. All right. Yeah, there's your third line center, Elias Lindholm. Good job. Bad a boy, Elias.

You can ever get your paws on a third line center. I mean, I'd give away a 40 goal guy first, the third. Boy, we just crush, hey, we just,

you know what? I don't mind crushing him because I think he pouted and he overplayed his hand and I don't think he was good about it. I don't think he's trying to be bad. It's just not gone well at all. He might not.

not be a player. Like he's at that age now where it'd be a little early, but it wouldn't be the first time a guy. And you know what? Slowed down real quick. Even Coleman kind of buried him after he left. He did. That's some guys that didn't want to be here. Zadora of for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Let's keep looking. How's your snooter?

Just leaking. Fawcett. Fawcett. Want a high five? Quinn Hughes, Phil Pironica, needs a contract. That's their top pair. Susie's healthy. He's missed a lot of time this year. He is with one of the two giraffe lobotomies. That's Tyler Myers, the dora of the other and the third pair at the end call.

You hate Tyler Myers. I don't know what Tyler Myers did to you because he's done nothing but try and play. Yeah. Plays every game. Perfect third pair defenseman. The city wasn't want to pick. Truba, Buffalo and Myers, all right shot tea. They just paid him to be a three.

That's not his fault. Nope. He's got a good agent. Oh. It's Matt's Dagenitis. You get a good agent. So you hate Myers. No. Because teams want to do. Because he took a good deal. No, again, I don't. I hate Myers. He's a really good third pair of defense.

You called him a draft lobotomy? When he and Zadora, I play together. That's the giraffe lobotomy pair because it's about 13 feet of poor decision making, typically. You saw Zadarov here, right? Yeah. Is Myers at that level? I would put Myers. Not this year, but he has.

Myers is just a big. Maybe underachieving for. where he was drafted, but just the big ice-chewing defenseman. You want to talk big ice-chewing defensemen? Yeah, I do. This draft class is locked and loaded full of them and NHL Central Scouting

released their final rankings for the NHL draft. This morning. Playoffs are even over in junior hockey. Well, the teams will continue to adjust, but for the sake of central scouting, this is what we're looking at. Now, is it Selyev or Siliyev? I don't know, but he's

kind of got the old I'm 6-7 and I'm playing in the K, which are really impressive things to do at the age of 17? Monster. Huge. Yeah, this guy's a monster. Demadov's a forward that has piled up some stupid numbers in the junior league there. And then, yeah, I mean, there's a lot of D. You see 4D in the top eight out of Europe?

Would that be Sammy Hellenius' kid, you suppose? I don't know if it's Sammy. Let's check. And then the name we're all looking for, let's go to the North American side. You can find, scroll and find him, Brett. Where is he? Who? What do you mean who?

He's too far away from the screen. I can't see this. Now, who would you be interested in the North American skaters right in this? Well, I'm looking at the guy with the Tigers jersey on. I'm like, who the hell is that? Lidstrom. He's scored at the tour at pace, but an injury short in the season. A monster.

I think already over 200 pounds at 6.3 or 4. And there is T. Jiginla at 9 in North America. Seems low. See, if I were at home, I could play the thing. But I'm not at home. I'm here. What thing? Iggy,

woo, woo, woo, no. Well, what else did you play? What's his ranking? Nine. Oh, you guys keep wanting me to come in here. I mean, you could take that thing. We do miss a lot when you are here.

I could have like fart noises and play. Still do that here. Nine. Yeah, Teesh up to nine. Now again, that's North American. So then you factor in the international slash European skaters.

Squarsh them together. If, Central scouting, it probably comes in at sort of like 12 to 50. Yeah, which is where... Yeah, I think. Blood, you know, the blood, the blood, the blood that runs through his vein. There's some pedigree there. Could we go back to the North American skaters there real quick just because we focused on Teage immediately.

But there's a lot of really good players. A lot of really good players. A lot of good players. Until they're not. Yeah, that's correct. But as of today, all the information we have, Russian, sorry, Bell Russian defense when playing at Michigan State. Lefshunov's had a monster year.

Zeev Bouillon, there's a name for you. D.U. National champ. And Perrick and Dickinson, the two D-Men and the O, that you like this Dickinson kid, right? I've heard good things about old Sammy Dickinson. Also, no, Berkeley Caton has piled up massive, massive numbers.

The question is, will he be a center at the next level? Can he be like a Suzuki point-sized centerman, or is he slide to the wing? And if so, where does that put him? I don't know. Interesting. And they've got Teage listed at center, despite I'm not playing center this year. That's odd. Weird.

Okay. We'll move. Let's go. See, the thing is, again, is listed as a centerman everywhere. He said forwarded in a lot of places. He's center on the Western Hockey League website. He's center there. He's playing the wing.

So I don't know. I mean, I don't. I'm just texting. I'm going to ask. I know. You should text his head. Like, is he the middle of? I texted.

Like, how many of your viewing says Teage played center ice? zero. Okay. Yeah. So there's some, you know, information. There's just a breakdown somewhere along the line. Could he be a center?

I don't know. Maybe. Oh, boy. Let's go to changes in Buffalo, Rhett. This is your opportunity. Finally, we've had a good time on the podcast with you, but it's time for change.

Rett's timing is shit, hey? Is it? He's been back in town for two days or whatever it is. Fire the coach in Buffalo. You're in Buffalo all season. I'm packing my shit. nothing happened hey last year you're in buffalo sutter out trilling out you come back here and he didn't even answer my call i know so here is uh let's stay with chris johnson here 13 year playoff drought seven

head coaches rough see ya roleston see ya nolan gone bilesman nohousley n uh cruger see ya granato see you i don't remember ron ralston yeah it was very short feels interim me very short and rough had just been there for 20 years So I mean, let's go back. Let's take roughs, how long rough was there, which would be, so in 30 years. I was going to say, so that's 13, which would be the same as 20. And he had 25. He had at least seven, I think he was 17 or 18 years.

So in 31 years, they've had seven coaches. So it's like when you compare the Steelers coaching to other teams. This is just that Chris Johnson trying to make things look bad. There's more. Justin Bourne watched him a bit and had this to say. Casey Middlestat got traded. Oh, sorry, so this is the money extension just kicking in. So that's $8 million to not work.

How do you get some of that, Redd? Jesus. Great work if you can get it. What's your move if you've got two years to make $8 million? And maybe you want to get into coaching afterwards, but you certainly don't have to rush and you want to keep collecting. Are you just straight to an island right now? Or what are you doing?

I think so, yeah. Feet in the sand. There's real good fishing out of Costa Rica right now. Is that right? Oh, yeah. Really good. Part of those blues. People live longer.

There's a big Marlin tournament coming up. Which early March May? What tournament? Marlon. Marlon. Oh, a fishing tournament. Yeah. Geez.

I'd love to go fish. The most scathing review I heard of the Sabres. The season came from Casey Middlestad. This is Justin Bourne tweeting. We went to Colorado and simply said, boy, they practice hard here. My question is, are they going to clean house? It was a video coach and assistant and John Granato. The GM's only been a couple years in.

I like some of things he's done. What else would there be to do? Are there more coaches you would want to see? Well, how do you know? I mean, and I guess if you bring it in a new coach, he's going to have some say, who sticks around. Because wasn't Granato, the interim, who then took over the head job?

He's had some success. It's just been a really bad year. They've not looked good at all. And they had expectations this year. Last year they had that incredible run, Cage, I'll flirt with 50. Like, I guess I'm just thinking in terms of Kevin Adams. he was there before Adams and Adams kept him.

It's not really an Adams higher. I believe that's correct. Right. So this would be his opportunity to go and get his guy in theory, although that guy's got to want to come to Buffalo. It's a good young team. It's position. I agree.

With coaching, there's 32. Yeah. I mean, there are certain guys that can have some say, but a lot of guys that would be dying. Like Craig Barubi feels like a fit, but he feels like a fit in every opening, doesn't he?

Yeah, he's not going to. No. I feel like, I don't think so because I think that, Pagula learned too that you try to to overpay to get a guy that's not like remember he was in on Babcock

Yeah, yeah We're gonna pay the buzzer They settled for Bilesmouth I should have got on Baccock Yeah I mean Joel Quinville's popped his head out of the sand I don't I hadn't go to Buffalo No no he wouldn't

And again we're waiting for Ottawa And there'll be some teams that you know Like I think L.A. probably is going to solidify and not be Hillier Smith Don't Don't just push under the rug that 4 million either. Oh, yeah.

Right? Like that, like if somebody told me, Ryan Huska was the 32nd highest paid coach in the NHL, I'd be like, yeah, probably because Sutter is making four. He's not in the top 10.

I can guarantee you that. Yeah, and that's what they did with Glenn Gulletson when they were paying Bob Hartley, and then when they got rid of Bill Peters, that's what they did with the Jeff Ward. Like, if you're paying a guy,

a ton of dough to not coach, you often won't have a lot of budget. Here's the question I have. How was Don Granado worth four? I was just going to say, could we hear those numbers again? That kind of slid under the radar too. It's like, okay, well, yeah, coach got fired, so he's going to continue to get paid. What was the term and the dollar on the dollar?

A two-year extension at $4 million each year. And that's basically what Sutter signed as well. What the age? Yeah, what has Don Granado done to? Well, it looked like he turned around last year, but he clearly hadn't. And I don't know why teams are so afraid to run a coach in what he used to call lame duck years. It's very commonplace now. and like if the flames had done that with Daryl, like, God, you'd be in a way bar spot.

Mr. Edwards would have to say it to bunch of dough. And then so would Mr. Pagula have. So I think there used to be this notion that, oh, my goodness, if their coach is in his walk here, like, lame duck, you can't have it. And it's like, no, I think you can absolutely have it. I'd be trading it like a free agency. I'd be saying, here's your chance to really wow me and get your bag. And I get why coaches would want it. Sure.

If I'm the coach, I've got my agent or whoever does my negotiation, I'd have them in the GM or president's ear saying you better get I'm still I want to go back not to interrupt you but Pinder's take on this is too simple because it looked like he'd turned things around yesterday that's how he jumped into four million four million we haven't played a playoff

game didn't make the playoffs yeah that's a hell of an agent again wow that's kind of your going rate for what I would call a top 10 how good were they last year they were they missed the fucking playoffs that's how good and Tage Thompson was the story of the league for a couple months

at least. It had felt like they'd turn it around, but the only caveat was that, look at their division. They still have Boston, Florida, Tampa, Toronto. That doesn't change next change. And so that was sort of the like, wow, they could make it next to then. You're like, ah, it's still, that's a shitty division to be bad. And like,

you're not, you've got to pass some really good teams if you're going to get in the playoffs. I'd be four million. Wow. Anyway, good for him. And no real head coaching experience prior. He's done a lot in American.

It was clearly not his, it would have been his third contract there. Yeah. So he's an interim guy. He gets a two or three year deal. And then with a year left, they give him this. Because I'm thinking of guy,

remember Alan Vino signed the deal. He got gas, but he had been a head coach for a long time. Stan, like a final team. Like this is, it's not even, that's what I'm getting at is.

Four million sounds like a guy. Darrell signed for four million dollars. And Darrell's got the pedigree. He's got two Stanley Cups and probably a Hall of Fame coaching career. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, if you want just the published salaries, like Jim Montgomery's only making two, and he left Dallas under weird circumstances.

Jim had to come back and resurrect his name. Peter DeBore in Dallas, four and a quarter, three years. That's significant money. Again, doesn't seem like Don Granato's class. That's a tear above Mr. Undefeated in Game Sevens. Paul Reese, Maurice, make it 3.9. So four is kind of like your top 10, you're an alpha coach and all that Don was there. No.

Three million for Marty San Luis. That feels like an overpaid. Peter Laviolet 4.9 in New York. What does Brindamore make? It's not published because it's Carolina. Because I was curious, right? Well respected coach, 50 wins, three years running, but that coach, that relationship with the owner there. I wonder what he makes.

It seems like whenever his deal comes up, he's got to go to bat for his staff, for everybody to get paid. So Jackson like this, Torterella makes four a year, three year deal. Guess what Mike Sullivan makes and his new year, his new deal that kicks in next year. six. 5.5 for three years. At least he has something. Solomon to the bank, not to the son. He's got a, he's got a cop.

He's got cups and success behind his name. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm not saying he's not worth it. It's just it looked like a team that needed a coaching change this year at times. I think that that, the Red and I are still stuck on the how did Granado get? No, I know. None of these are in the same category. And Bruce Cassidy, four and a half a year for four years in Vegas.

Those are the only guys around four that is published. There was a big push. One of these things ain't like the other ones. Coaches a whole bunch of money and get him paid. And remember Babcock's, we've been underpaid forever. I'm going to set the standard, blah, blah, blah.

And he did. He has, but is it going to come back a little bit? Because I would just offer less term, yeah. Yeah. You want four million? Sure, two year deal. And don't sign it a year before you get there.

Four. Shufflight just isn't long enough, right? What did Babs have an eight-year deal? That's just insane. Six years, yeah. Like what? Which coach lasts that long?

Did you do it for $4 million? I would. Well, how about three? I think I will. Okay. But you're in the West. You're going to have to travel more than you. No, no, we're talking.

I'm talking, go back to Buffalo. That's assume Pagula is like, I'm paying this coach not to coach. Well, I'm only going to go a million and a half, two million on this next coach. I'll do a one year deal, half a mill.

Half. Oh, the coach is going to be pissed. Jack, could we get to Terry Pigoole on the phone? I got to establish myself. I got to show. You got a podcast show? I have to show. Would you still do the show when they hire you?

I would have to because it wouldn't make enough money. Now, are you still suspended by the junior saver, the league or whatever? Did you get that email thing all straightened out? You can coach again? You don't want that hanging over here. I know. Terry Pagula comes calling. You know, Rhett, we're really interested in bringing you in, but says here something

about the whoop-to-do tournament in Rochester. You flew off a handle. It was poured your on, wasn't it? wasn't me. Boy, boys were wound up. Very disappointed with the behavior of this Buffalo Jr. Port Hero.

All right, that's the kind of, that's what we want out of our Yes, senior savers club. That's what they need. Rasmus Dahlene pops his shoulder out, game one fighting. Damn it, Red. No, they have catered to a bunch of guys that are soft. Okay, so you're going to go in there. You're going to be the coach.

Who are you bringing? Me and Ryan, what are we going? No, I'm not. Video. I don't want you on the bench. I kind of want to be in the bench. Your legs are going to get sore all like like jelly. You remember when Jell and I was on the bench?

Just kind of what are you going to get her going boys? Hey, let's get her going. Concessions. Oh. Come on, Red. I just got a cooking show. What's wrong? You're going to have to interview.

You're going to have to. Oh, she's no favor. I'm not just going to hand it up. Jeez. It's rough. Who's on your staff? I got to check my. budgets like decaprio having to read a script to get a gig i know what i know what i know what i would

do and what adams should have done and what i would go and get the bet i would go get vignon or uh quenville and say pay up pay me i'll take sure i'll have the title and i'll make half a mill and you pay him too to be my assistant because he knows what he's doing right i'll learn a associate coach i'll learn a lot from this guy there you go maybe babbs could be your assistant because i'm a team guy i'm about having success for the team it's not about oh ret could get a four million dollar contract it's not about you don't give a shit it's about the team because we're going to win a stanley cup and then mr coo pooh that's right in with his billions and just dump up it in the rink mr cabuga is going to make us all rich

it's going to be like one of those place to meet you mr cabugga in the world win thing with the dollar bill's yeah yeah you got three minutes in here and they're hondoes Thanks, Mr. Bluga. We love you. Let's go to the Eastern Playoff Chase. You saw it earlier. Shane Gostis Bears hops. Save the wings.

I'm on a roll here. I think that that would be, that's my salary. Once a week, I get two minutes in the whirlwind of cash. So what bills? American hundreds? What do we do?

It's got to be Hondas. American hundos. Usually it's direct deposit into your checking. This is Rhett going into the hurricane, of hundos to grab his minute you sticking them into your g string i could just see him he's like god damn we had a big win last night i'm hung over his shit oh fucking shoulder oh god his damn shoulders cost to me 20 grand i had like eight of them and then i dropped my shoulder shit hundred fuck wings and Shane goss despair yeah needed to stay alive they did that impressive

It wasn't for a while. Yeah, and that boy, if you could just flip it two inches higher, you might win the game there. Lane Hudson, everyone in Montreal, very excited about him. He's NHL debut last night, 20 plus minutes. American kid, NTDP? He was the one trying to break up that two-on-one and overtime. Yeah. Busting back there.

Either way, the wings win. They still aren't in. Washington won as well, Pittsburgh one as well, and we might get the chaos extended. for one more night beyond tonight. There's your look at it as it stands. One of those teams gets in, just one. Philly's still alive. Torts, save your best speech ever for tonight, buddy.

It's hard when you get to this point of the, and you think about a point. Oh, you go back over the season. A point. You think about a gindlin night for the penguins here? Yeah, they had it. Just don't completely soil yourself in the last minute or something.

and find a point somewhere. Yeah. Well, and they blew that lead against Detroit earlier. They gave Detroit the loser point when they played, when Pittsburgh played them, what, a week ago, Jack? It's been a great season in most cities, or at least for the observer. And by the way,

look at the point totals here. Remember when we used to tell you about 95 points it gets you in? That's got to be one of the lowest in. Yeah, big time. It's the turtle derby for sure. But good hockey still left to, we'll see who gets in. And then on the flip side, saw, and I should have grabbed it, but I saw a tweet yesterday, a list of the players who would

have won the Art Ross in 2015. Oh, with their point totals from this year. There's about 30 guys. Jamie Ben won it with 87 points one year. Yeah, Jamie Ben, I think that was the year Ben won it. And it's, yeah, it's about 25, 30, like, different league. Tons of guys that would be, because I looked this morning, what was it, Panarin hit 140. He's the fourth guy to hit 140 points. No one's had 100 helpers in the league for ages. Connor hit it last night. You're like, wow, what a feat. When will we see it next?

Maybe on Wednesday. Yeah, maybe on Wednesday. It's one assist to get to 100. Crazy. Tonight, let's look at the games. And Max Chaos. I think Elliot was tweeting about Max Chaos. If you're a team chaos,

there's some games to talk about tonight. You need Philly to beat Washington, 5 o'clock start. You need a result from Montreal against Detroit. Man, that's a big Washington, Phil. Isn't it huge? And then Pittsburgh's game tomorrow against the Islanders who are already in and sealed would be the win and you're in. And that would be the, if we could string this at the most high leverage games possible between now and the end of the year, that's how it has to go. Now, I have a hard time keeping up with Jack and his strategies for how this work.

So he shits on the penguins so that they play well or he abandoned all hope. He won last night. He has no hope now because if he did, they'll lose. Okay. So Jack, how do you feel about tonight? What's going to happen here with these games? I feel good about Philly. Like I think they come out.

Yeah, I think they beat Washington. The Montreal, Detroit thing, I don't know. I feel like yesterday was the one they had to have. They're up three. Yeah.

I don't feel good. Like I said, for a week, it's over. It's beautiful. Something's just that unbridled enthusiasm, the roller coaster. There it is.

Yeah, that's a tough one. Clinch. Yeah, clench hard there, pal. Tough. We're all with you. W.H. You want the update right here it is. Buckle up. We got, well, a few series that aren't that close.

Look at Portland's up three rip on Everett. Cougars up two rip on Colonna, heading back to the Okinawagon. And the blade's been a wagon. They dusted off red deer a couple times as these scenes switches in central Alberta. Maybe we should go up to red deer. Roads look great.

Why not? That's a good point. It's a little snowy. Now, is it at Billy Bobbs? Is that Tuesday or Wednesday night? Every night. Well, no, they do. I'm not sure that Billy Bob's.

What, T-shirt once a week? Can't remember. Tie that in with it. I'll look for you, D. Thanks. So you guys don't go to Flames games, but you're going to Red Deer? What t-shirt night? What are you talking about?

Yeah, come on. Daniel Jones? What was I looking at? Weirdo. Billy bombs. Daniel Jones, weirdo, quarterback giants. Yeah. Look at this.

Kind of just start off with the obvious. How are you doing in your rehab and where do you think stand? Rehab's going well. Making good progress coming along. Obviously, spent a lot of time with the trainers here and shrink staff. So I feel like things are going well. And yeah, so I'm, yeah, I'm coming along well. Hey, Daniel, just a build on that.

Have they given you a target date? The eyes are just dinner plates here. That's the look of a man who shit himself right before the press conference started. This was you on the Christmas show. This is him trying to sneak out a fart, shat himself, and it's like, oh my, OMG.

I'm sitting in my own fecal matter. Hi, Daniel. Wondering about the season. Let's go check in on our boy. And none of you act like you haven't been there. We know you've been. Tim Dot Nagy! Let's go to Tim.

67. Going a blackjack and betting 10 cents every Instagram follow. I've got coming in off a two-day hiatus. There are 780,000 of you in here now, so a $78,000 bet. Coming right up. All righty, ladies and gentlemen, day 67. I don't love the look of our dealer. Kind of bloke who looks like he'd use.

iron covers on the golf course says a lot about them the adventures of tinted merch gets a run three's disgusting 12 plays a jack oh can we pull one off again we got away with one before the hiatus and we are looking to escape an absolute hiding here go low for me take a seven eight or nine please give him a nine seven seven so you're telling me there's a chance 19 plays a jack seven eight nine on his in now would get the job done return sir with a big fucking win. Go low.

Yes. Yes. Fucking yes. We've scraped in. It doesn't matter an inch or mile. Vin Diesel said it best. It's a W. Regardless.

And I will see you tomorrow. After the adventures of 1010 secured a W when we'll be bidding even more. He just doesn't lose. I, I, it's so great. 12 against the Jack. I was nervous.

12 against the Jack. You're cooked. Damn. Jack, how's he doing this? I don't know. Every hand he does gets a little more ridiculous. I'm starting to...

Are you doubting that it's legit? What have the last three been? He's had like 12, 13, and then he hits like a low card. Four, four, four. Yeah, 21, didn't he have the one where it was... He just had 20. Didn't he get dealt a pair of face cards?

I feel like he's about four of his last five. I've yet to see him lose two in a row. He has not lost two in a row. Which, that's not me at the black truck table. I don't know. Listen, we're, Jack,

God, like, don't bring your negative tips. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, to the show, Jack.

Stating facts, I've got no problem with Jack. If there's going to be a sour pussy here, it's going to be me, all right? Whoa. Like, I'm,

stay in your turf. I'm the, I'm the sour prick in the room. Okay? We don't need two of us. It's just a penguin's stress talking. Sorry. So,

what was 150, some thousand win there in your pocket. 156. Out of boy, Tim. Not a boy, Timmy! This is not the time to start. Don't remember. Don't remember.

Don't forget where you broke the media curse. Right in that seat over there. Happy guy. That's where you were. Someone didn't know about Diet Coke and Mentos, but they found out the hard way. It was another challenge, right? I've had several requests to do this one.

I'm going to give it a shot today. I was bet $200 I couldn't drink it. Anyway, we got Diet Coke Mentos. Ah, I don't know how to put it in there, but we're going to try it like it's right there. We got us a submit to like here. We go over the hot. Idiot. I bet he's going to put it in there.

I don't know. How about that? Oh, it did. Oh, listen, here we got. You ready for this right here? Okay, we got to put three. Three. Okay, I don't know what to do here.

Oh. That does. Have you ever done the Diet Coke? Is he? That's some serious shit. Is he without legs? I don't know. He looks like he's sitting cross-legged, but I, yeah.

I was sort of more focused on the Diet Coke fountain that he launched there. Yeah, the Diet Coke or the, the, I just have to be diet. I think diet is soft drink Mentos is kind of the thing, right? I think there's something in the diet version that is part of the chemical reaction. This is going to be another great off-season show. We're going to have to have a science. Or if we. Barn burner, science fair.

Yes, yeah, totally science fair. And if we have to move out of here, we go to a different studio, the day before our lease ends, we'll do that here. Otherwise, outside. Yeah. There's no room to do anything outside. It's construction. It's not safe.

It's going to be Beverly Hills, I'm sure, anytime now. I'm just waiting. But it looks good so far. Really good, yeah. It's good mud. Like, my kids haven't lost her shoes in the mud before. And I'm thinking about bringing memories, right?

Yeah. Yeah. When we were kids, get a boater. If something common, so good. Yeah. Uh,

not sure how this started, but look how it ends. Got a boar. Now, keep reading about these wild boars in the States. That's true. That's a good, he's a little.

Is he laughing? So was he run the dude up the tree? Is that what's happened? Yeah. No, he's just going to, it's not true. Nice friend.

you're going to help me? No, I'm going to get a video. I'll roll tape. That is something you have to remember on these viral clips. What's the camera person doing? Yeah. That was not a trail cam that caught that one. No, it was not.

Is it still a thing in Saskatchew? Oh, yeah. Still, hey? Very hard to get rid of. And they get smarter. Now, guns are still legal in places where bores are? Like, are they that hard to get rid of? You couldn't.

In Texas? you can go shoot them from a helicopter as many as you want forever. What does that cost? I'm into that. No, that's a thing. Honestly, I think that's a thing that they're running a while. The whole thing is they get more wise as they avoid death so that they're not going to be trapped a similar way again. So bars are like the final boss.

They're like the final boss to give you the people's elbow. That's right. Croc one. Let's go to it. You know when we have crock one that also means to. So you're going to check the pond before you go fishing, right? And that is, look at the pace and size of that, my God. That looks like a tepid pond with nothing in it.

I still feel like at some point we are going to exhaust the Internet of Crocodile videos. I keep waiting for it, but because it's two, three a day. The more I doubt, the more I find is the irony of it all. That's a hind quarter that that thing just evaporated. It hammered it like a tic-tac. This one is called Croc Kayak Not the position you want to be on the Nile Are they scaring it away or is this some

I would worry Kayak is going to raft together here stick together Strength of numbers Oh boy Fuck up Ozzy? I saw that for me Sorry, it's okay?

That's all good, dude, nice, well, Jesus. Fuck, that was a big cut. Whoa! Fuck you. Just another country, Dean, where it's okay. Fuck, I wish I've hit him hard on, man. That was a fucking bad crock that, man. There it is, there it is.

It's like 10 o'clock to you now. Yeah, that's a better question. Ten o'clock, get out of there. What are you doing? Is it that important that you ride these rapids? Shout out to him for standing their ground. to them for standing their ground and fighting off the crocodile. Yeah, yeah.

I just never understood her. Yeah. Thumbs up here. Now, are you warming up a little to these animals? The more you see and learn about them. Oh, I can't wait to get one for a pet. Yeah. No, not at all.

What about snakes? Because this guy loves snakes. Thank you so much for all the amazing followers. I can't even understand how you guys are blown up. Whoa. Yeah, that can't be real, can it? That's not ideal. How are you?

That guy died there, right? I'm just glad you're happy, Dean. You look happy there. Whatever pets keep you right state of mind. You can get it off the screen now, Jay. Those big snakes. Village on a Pinderport. Are we done?

I would think the side roads would be your biggest issues. The main thoroughfares, probably decent shape. Yeah, decent. So I'm just looking here. I grab this here, just to fill for me. Coming up after the tail end of the program, Alex Halat is going to join us from Chestermear, where the hockey marathon for the kids is ongoing. Started this thing back in 2012, Rhett.

other year they've done it. 262 hours straight of hockey. That is 11 days. The fellows are operating about 14 to 18 hours on the ice a day. Injuries are mounting. They're done at 5 p.m. and they're trying to reach their goal of, I believe,

a million and a half raised for the Alberta Children's Hospital and kids cancer fundraising, which is incredible. These guys are warriors. So we'll hear from Alex at the end of the program. That's that fulfilling. Very good. Very good. So hockey marathon.com for more.

There it is. We were talking about Billy Bob's conflicting reports. Yeah. Jared says Billy Bob's is ruined. Now called long riders. Yeah. Steener. Sad to hear.

And now this is Billy Bob's is still open. And maybe he means the bar, but maybe it's under a different name. We need to do some reconnaissance here. Which Sutter would get you the answer the quickest if you had the text one. Or is it a Vandamere that would know that one? Vanderbore boys, brother.

What are we doing? running into the street winning tickets where are we going for the game who's what's remember casey was running that contest yeah man seven years since april 17th yeah outside dome looks busy 17 young boys at the game yeah well and it's it's less than two years ago

those scenes with the tens of thousands of peoples in the red lot remember when it blew over going crazy yeah that storm came through ooh mama Yeah. Yeah. It feels like longer than two years ago in many ways, because there's three, five, three forwards, two defensemen and a goalie left from then. Is that what it is? That's it.

Yeah. You got the magic panty back on Coleman, or left from that era and Shillington Anderson. Marks from the goalie. Everyone else on that team that was in the Battle of Alberta is gone. No, Walt. But you can, now you can still enjoy. You got Chuck's going to be in the playoffs.

Sam Bennett. Sean Monaghan, Mark Giordano. Toff. Tos Foley? Tough. There's a lot of guys that used to play here that'll be in. Tannave. Yeah.

Lindholm, a third check in line role, yeah. Both L.A. goalies? Yeah. We're definitely cheering for them, right? Definitely cheering for them. If they play, Eminton, you're goddamn right. A little less for Derek Ryan. Not really cheering for him at all, actually.

He can go. Yeah, he can beat it. He can beat it. So that's what it's going to be, I guess. Garnet Hathaway. Could he get in with Philly? Do you a miracle? I hope not, right, Jack?

Yeah. That's what we're saying. You got a former flame on the penguins, anyone? He's good, or one. Jankowski somewhere. Jankowski's in Preds, he's going to make the playoffs. A lot of, yeah.

You think anybody does that? A Flames fan, they find. I don't know. Maybe if you have our favorite, but like to cheer for all of them, no. Are you really going to cheer for Florida because you have a Kachukchurz if you're the biggest Kachuk fan ever maybe Kachman.

I know one got it mature for bad. And we're forgetting about Ryan Lombard, former flame. Oh, and maybe that's. Did he reach like five career games at the Flames? You definitely played a lot in Stockton. Good question. It's a good question. I remember he played for sure.

We saw him here. And look at this. Redeem Zahornah. Pittsburgh. There you go. There's your flames connection. Me so Zahornah. That's right.

Like, be prepared to have a list. Yeah. And be prepared to get. absolutely railroaded verbally if you make a mistake or a bad pick. You are very leery about using the word annual. I am. So I've done the Googling because I see you just walking on edge chills every time I talk about it.

Occurring once every year is annual. Nothing is considered annual unless it's happened twice. So this would be the second annual. So it is the second. I was never sure. Because you can't have a first annual. Until the second occurrence. It's merely just a one-time event.

It's the inaugural or the one-time event. It just isn't possible to have a first annual if it has not occurred before. That's what I was saying. So excited. Second annual. Second annual. If you want to get in, today's your last day, damn it. And why wouldn't you want to get in?

I'm surprised there's still room left. I am too, actually. I am surprised there's still room left. So you don't like watching this hockey. You don't like having fun. Yeah. And then for that to continue to playoff? Yeah, yeah.

If you want to watch Pinder do his Pinders things, because he'll be drinking. If you want to see Pinder in his full regalia and glory, this is your opportunity. Yes, a wild Pinder in his native environment. Yeah, we call it. You'll be very much at home. My ecosystem.

Hockey discussions and booze. And high kicks and sequenblazers. You'll be a fun guy, no doubt. Absolutely. In support of Kidsport, K. Webb will be there. Yeah. Somebody, you know, we're a big supporter of Kweb and kids.

sport. I was like, Quibb. Quabby. What is this spell? Webb. Oh, Kevin Webster sounds like the dark web, the K-web? Oh, Kevin. Okay, yeah, yeah. If you want to get your team, do it. Tables of eight. You don't need eight. That's kind of what a lot of limited. Two, three for whatever. If you're hungry, you just come with 60, you can split the food of the last two years. Get your table. We're going to have some barn burner, blonde origin brewing is going to be there. Village Hawn is going to be there. Of course, our events partner, Cloud Law is going

Sixth round or seventh round last year. Good player, just maybe not the right window. Idiots. Playoff performer. Just, yeah. Sean Horcoff has been for example.

Any good playoff performers. It's just, I didn't know the last year was the best time. The reason Teakinen popped into into my head as I saw today was in 89 or no, Sorry. 91 in this date when Tickinen had the OT goal, game seven against the flames. Not ideal.

Not ideal. Wouldn't have been 89 in game seven. They didn't lose. Eliminated the flames. Flames did win. Here with Teakinen. Flames didn't play the Oilers. It fooled Vernie.

That's all you need to know. Bernie was very, looks like, like it was Brad Marsh, the defenseman. Maybe screened him a little bit. Are she? it's like dude it's game seven it's not overtime you know we're done now stuff the puck get out of the lane put a helmet on and smart get the hell out of the way

I think that's what Bernie was saying something about something like that something like that do our betway I'm ready all right with betway you can get a free bet up to $200 if your first bet loses you create a new account scan the QR code on the screen and redeem your bonus.

It's plus money for Washington. Sports books like Philly here. Plus 120. The better team, Dean's suggesting. They shut down the Bruins yesterday. What was the 16 saves for for? So yeah, it's, hey, let's go. And Detroit at Morial, Lucas Raymond.

Jack can't handle it everywhere he goes. he's hearing Lucas Raymond's name. He screamed at the top of people's lungs. Raymond! I'm going to say it's an anytime goal, take it, plus 162. So Jack is not happy with any of what's going on with me like this today. He's going to like mine a little better because I'm just on full team chaos, and that means we need Montreal to beat Detroit and we need Philly to be washed.

And that sets up a must win for the penguins tomorrow against the Islanders. Which is what we all want anyway. And if this goes to shit, it's your fault. I'm actually here in Calgary. I'm not playing any of these games. I've not yet secured my NHL contract with. the habs nor the flyers. Not yet.

Our buddies at Betway, the official gaming partner of Bar and Berner. Didn't get that green paint on his tongue. It's the only part of his body. Yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What could you eat to get green tongue? Breaking news from RJ. Uh-oh.

I don't know if you guys saw this. This from RJ, our buddy with the show. What is his, now I saw on the, he's our boss. What is he? He's Jack's boss. Jack is our boss and he's Jack. Because we got the email. I saw an email from RJ.

And at his designer and editor, I see is the title on his email. That's what he called him. So, Hey guys, can you hang on the stream for a few minutes after the show? No,

I can't. The Rets to know him. I really got a P. So I'm probably a note too. I have to talk to you about lav mics should only take about five minutes. Well, you're really,

we're going to need Rett in to get your thoughts in the lab. Yeah. What are your tics on live mics? I love them. they're great. I also love the lava limes. Yeah. Lava lamps, yeah.

What about the lava cake? Oh, delicious. Yeah. Vanilla ice cream. You ever made it? No. I'm kind of intrigued to make it. Because you make it,

you know what it is? You ready for a good word? The ganache. Oh, yeah. I don't know what that means. Good, good, good, good. It's the chocolate. It's like the chocolate.

Good, good, good, good, good, good, good. Gnosh. Pindjah, can say it. Gnosh. Gnosh. Yeah. Think of it. It's kind of it's kind of like.

It's like a, it's like a charcoaly. It's just, it's, and you put it in the freezer is what you do. So it's like your chocolate that you freeze it. And then you put it into the, the lab of the little cake. And like, think of it as a love mic. Like a cupcake tin. Yeah. And then when you bake it.

Yeah. The outer, like the batter turns into cake. Yeah. But the inside, because it was frozen solid, only warms up to a certain temperature. So it's the creamy chocolate. So when you open up the lava cake, you've got cake and then melty chocolate goo inside. Love lava. That is your ganache.

Damn. Lava, lava, lava, lava, anything else? Peter Laviolet? Laviolet. Big win for him last night. What did I see about Laviolet? You're just now stalling to ruin that's day. I can see this.

I saw something today. Laviolette. Coaches to win the president's trophy in their first season with the club. Pete. Pete LaVuette. That's great. Jim Montgomery did it with Boston last year. Monty.

Hope you that Pete LaViolette has better success in the play. Yeah, Monty flamed up pretty early there. Andrew Brunette did it the year before with Florida. Andy. As a fill-in. Yeah. That wasn't a plan. He wasn't good enough for them.

They needed to let him move along. He doesn't know what he's doing. Todd McClellan did it in San Jose in his first year. Oh, 809. Now you're still. Didn't really work out for him. Mike Babcock and Detroit 0506. Did they win?

Was that a couple of a couple of years? here for Detroit. 5.06. No, because a 506 was Carolina Edmonton. That's right. So Mike Keenan, 93-94. Never heard of them. Who is he? Seems like a nice fellow. First year with the club wins the president's trophy and wins the cup.

Good head of hair. How about it? Nice guy. Yeah. Didn't ruin Rett's career. And this is from, I look at this now and I wish I would have taken a screen grab of it because it says on here that Terry Crispy in 8788. Now, can Ginoche be crispy? Is that? Terry Crispy. Ah, dear.

We could doordash some gumash. I bet you could. Is there a place in town that's going to known for it? I don't know. Carolina, New York Islanders round one. Yeah. It's going to be a tough watch. That's fine.

That's why the first round is the best. You're never forced to watch, especially in early game. Yeah. There's so much hockey. You might have like Winnipeg, Colorado up against it, not even have to care. Beautiful. Dallas Vegas,

Toronto, Florida. Here's what I'm hoping that we get a Patrick Waugh meltdown. Yeah, I'm in for that. Somewhere along the line. Scale the glass, go crazy. Yeah. When I got home after the movie,

they had a top 10 coaching meltdown. Yeah. Oh, Jimmy Playfair up high on that one? Always top three. Always. Yeah. Oh, geez. I haven't seen a coach empty of stick rack in a while.

That was always a move I don't remember the Chris Clark. I don't think it's the same Chris Clark that he put the shades on and had the Oh yeah, he was doing the the, the mime bit, blind guy. Yeah, yeah. You need props for that, right? Yeah, you got to be prepared. Yeah.

Shades. But what kind of asshole has sunglasses on all the time? Creepy. Just can't think anyone. Just at the ready, it all go to any given time. Look into that. Get back to you. What's on the menu, dude?

Is today Tuesday? Yes, it is. Leaves Panthers tonight? No. But the division will be sorted out tonight. I believe, is it Least Pathers tonight? I believe leaves are at the Pathers tonight. That's the thing.

Yeah, it is too. Look at that. 5.30. Well. Leaves Pathers tonight? No. Because I'm so ready for the playoffs series. I know.

Because I was going to say 70 goals within reach tonight for Austin Matthews. It's a hell of the feet. What's more impressive today? 70 goals or 100 assists? It's what everyone's talking about? It's the big question. What's more impressive? I haven't talked to anyone about it,

so I don't think anyone's, it's not. Well, it's all over the, it's all over the Sosh. Biz and Whitdog were talking about it. Justin Bourne was talking about it. Everybody's talking about it.

I don't know. They're both very amazing feats. I'm going to have a hard time taking a stance. Yeah. Both very good. Now, there's more players in the neighborhood of 100 assists than there are in 70 goals. Would that be fair to say?

No, it's the opposite. There's more guys that have scored 70 than I've got 100. I mean, right now. Yes. Because Kuchrov can hit 100. This season, correct. All time history. There's four that have had 100 assists.

Kuturov could be five. And I think you probably got eight to 10, 70 goal guys in the history of the league. There's six that have got 75. or more. That's really, but it's been forever since anyone's gotten to that total. Someone just got to 100-sist yesterday. It can't be that impressive. Yeah, how hard is? Seriously. So my two-trop has 99.

McDavid's got 100. Like everybody's doing it. Where's an eight dog guy? He's 87. Yeah, he's not getting there. And then in terms of goals, you got Matthews at 69. Next, this is Ryanhart at 55. Not real close. 54 for Zach Hyman. How about it? He plays with that guy with all the assists. Is that right?

Yeah, that's the guy setting them up. That's right. 100. guy. Panarin 48 goals. Philip Forsberg finishes with 49. One shot. Sorry, 48. Panarin finishes with 49, Forsberg 48. They're done. Done. So he falls too shy

of Hawkenlib's Swedish record. Only one suite ever scored 50. God damn it. Perfect. Keep it in Hawkins' hands. Hawkins' hands. Yeah. Maybe if Forrestberg wasn't a little bit lazy? Yeah. A little bit unfit.

they play this time. in La Belle Provence, and it is a 5 o'clock puck drop. Also at 5. The capitals in Philly, you need to win if you want to make the playoffs. That's kind of a rule of thumb here, fellas. So now that should be fun to watch. Florida is hosting Toronto at 530

down in Sunrise, which is located near Fort Lauderdale. And I've even got a little baseball for Yankees, Jays, 507. If you need a matinee, Barcelona, PSG at 1. Champions League quarterfinals. Can we talk more about that? I don't think Brett wants to. What about Jack?

Jack, you big Champions League guy? What's the Champions League? So I'm going to say no. Because you brought it up today to Jack and I is, when you brought it up, I was like, a footie guy,

must be into that. It's like the Leo Messi Bowl because he played in Barcelona's soccer and then went to PSG and now he's come. Because I figured if it was you and me together in the room and nobody else, you wouldn't have brought up Champions League soccer. No. So I was like,

oh, I didn't know that Jack was into footy. He's a big fan. The look on his face. was perfect. You need the jack cam for that one. Yeah, maybe once in a while. Dash that for the win with DoorDash. Today's a DoorDash day.

Oh, DoorDash, good on you. Why don't you drive around? No, why don't you get it delivered to your front door? Just going to get it brought in. Just bring it in. Tomorrow, we're going to look back in this Flames game.

After analyzing it tonight, too. Yeah, going to talk about it tonight. And then tomorrow again, which is good. You guys want to cover for me tonight? You two do the show. Noodles. I said I'd go,

so I don't care who else is there. All right. Noodles is on tomorrow. Nudes. Where's he at? His Ottawa's traveling around. What do they play tonight? They play tonight?

Ottawa, we're worried about Ottawa? No, I'm just worried about noodles. I'm going to get the text. Hey, you know what? I'm flying to,

flying out of Boston. We got delayed. We've got to go to. I'm going to be a to do international. I'm not going to have cell service. so we'll do a Thursday? That's what's going to come on.

You've got a guest Thursday, too? I don't know. The guy's annoying me, so. And what's it about? We might not have Jerome McGillow Thursday. They asked if we would help him out with a promotion. I said, absolutely love to. Alumnist, Stanley Cup champion,

win a big jet. Nothing, but. Yeah, yeah. Did you send them the calendar invite? Not yet. I sent it to Jack to deal with. Come on, boss. Because I didn't know how to do a calendar invite

that got put into his calendar yeah yeah you couldn't just tell him and he could didn't do it i was he at that stanley cup party that uh you hated in Vegas no just johnny taves how many ranks did he get see one or two ladd couple well he had one carolina oh geez at least one isn't that who it is yeah you definitely oh lander ad sorry ralinds at. Jeez, son my calendar invite. Yeah. That'll do it. Thanks for joining us, Alex. How's everyone doing? Oh, we're getting there. We're, we're minutes away, or a couple hours away from finishing. I'm not going to lie to you. Body's pretty banged up. The mind's pretty washed up right now, but the light is at the end of

the tunnel. We're pretty excited. So final stretch. Yeah. And so originally, what, 12 years ago, you started this every other year. You've come back and run another hockey marathon. Each time, the greatest, the longest, trying to raise the most money. This is, this is quite a war. It's been, it's been an awesome feat. You know, unfortunately, cancer hasn't gone anywhere and in the last 10 to 12 years of anything, it's gotten worse. And when I reached out to the committee about a year and a half ago and said, hey, what do you all think? Should we do it again? All being older as well. And without hesitation, everyone said, you know what, let's do it one more time. So here we are, you know, 40 players on the ice and we're about $1.3 million into it.

Hopefully, hopefully close to that million and a half to $2 million mark by 5 o'clock tonight. So if people want to contribute, there's a donation button on your website, Hockeymarathon.com. There's also 50-50 tickets available. And you guys started what? On the 5th of April, you started playing? We started. It's been 10 and a half days, so 10 and a half days ago, I've probably got about 13 hours of sleep in the last week, our 10 and a half days. So starting to wear, like I said, these players are amazing. Like we're talking, you know, guys have blown their growing,

their hips, their knees, their quads, tenens in their feet. Well, we got this little guy here, his name is Colton. Colton's been battling cancer, the Yumbardy Children's Hospital for almost 2,000 days. So, you know, for what we've been through in the last 10 and a half days is insignificant

as to what little man's been. been through for the last 2,000 days. And the whole focus of this is to raise awareness for the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation, especially raising money for pediatric cancer research. And the support's been amazing. And everyone talks about the 40 players on the ice. That's irrelevant.

The players are one thing. Literally over 2,000 volunteers to pull this event off. So I think we're about 2,100 volunteers to pull this event off. We're talking of ages from five years old, right up to 90 years old, bench helpers. laundry people, referees. It's been awesome.

You know, everyone got involved in this event this year. And I was a little worried, I'm not going to lie to you. I was a little worried how we're going to find that many volunteers. But it's been overwhelming, overwhelming in support for the community. And we couldn't think of enough. And so you alluded to it. The physical toll that these 40 players go through is they try to play hockey for what, essentially like 10 and 11 days in a straight, it's massive.

It's significant. You noted some of the issues. issues and injuries. Every two years you see this. This is a serious ordeal. People are putting their bodies through when they sign up to do this. So every year I discover, I told, I was on the ice with a couple of teammates. I forget, I, I missed the days where I could say I had a right shoulder and a left shoulder. Now I got a good shoulder and a bad shoulder. I got a good knee and a bad knee. So I've lost the, I've lost the ability to stay right and left. And, you know, to let people those that understand what the body goes through I take in almost 20,000

calories a day and I lose two pounds a day. This year I discovered one injury. I got hit with a puck above my ankle and the middle of the night I was sleeping and my foot was really, really warm. So I go on the chat, I'm like, I need ice. So can the medics please bring the ice? So they brought me outside. End up I had a hematoma.

So a vein basically ruptured above my ankle and my foot was blocked. It was just blocked. So they drained it right away, they quadded it, and I had to be on the ice in about three hours. So I went back on the ice, and I was skating around. I couldn't figure out, I knew my feet were going to swell. My feet already swelled two sizes. And they were starting to feel tight in my skate. So I went to take my skate off, ends up it ruptured again, and my foot was as black

as my skate again. So they had to pull me back off into the medical area and drain my feet one more time. But you know, like I said, these are minor things that we go through as players to get through this and I think the biggest toll for the players is just a mental toll like it's I probably met close to 40 or 50 little kids in the last 10 days that are battling cancer or be cancer and unfortunately a couple a couple kids that were working with us never never made it to the end of the game so that one that was a big one on the players and I make last night we're talking to in two in the morning one of the players in the room and I didn't seem on

the ice that someone said you better go talk to me you walk in the room and the players just breaking down crying you know shows you these things guys got good, good hearts. And we've got some amazing people. And if it saves the life of a child, this is all worth it. This whole game was worth it. What, how many hours a day would it average out to that you're on the ice playing versus being able to rest? And you're probably pretty excited to see that damn Zamboni every once in a while. So Guinness Book actually allows us to have a 10 minute flight every hour, 50 minutes. So the average player will skate about 14 hours a day, 14 to 16 hours a day, pending there's no injuries. If there's an injury, there's an injury,

in place and you got to cover for each other you're upwards of 18 hours i had an incident two days ago where two of my guys dropped due to bronchitis and uh we were so short-handed we actually had to play the whole four-hour shift with no spares and i'm a 280-pound guy so it was starting to wear me my uh my things were starting to give and my feet were just killing me but you know what you know you develop a brotherhood here we actually have two girls playing in the game as well which is awesome. They've done phenomenal. But yeah, I know. We're looking forward to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel here at 5 o'clock.

You know what? I will happily donate. I'm not brave enough to get in there. I don't think, Alex. But thanks so much for your time. Alex Hillout, the organizer and founder, Hockeymarathon.com. It is for the kids. And again, 50-50s. You can donate on the website as well.

40 players, 262 hours straight at the Chestermere Rec Center, score if you're curious 3,055 to 2,923. Incredible quest for a Guinness Book of World Record, as well as all the funds raised for the Alberta Children's Cancer Society. Thanks, Alex.
