We are ready to roll on a Friday. It's Barnburner. It's Boomer. It's Pinder. It's Warner. We're here in Mardi Loup and at our kitchen table in Buffalo, New York to get things going on the program today. Hello to everyone on the YouTube. Bitching that we were four or five minutes late. They're always late. They're late. They're late all the time.

These guys can't be on time for their lives. Why can't they just start on time? And it's awkward. When you go to an event, you go to, you go out. Oh, I can't believe somebody is wearing the same thing I'm wearing. Oh, what a fashion faux paw. The only thing more awkward, Dean, is when you don't get the memo. I guess that Friday is Hawaiian shirt day.

Thank you. So, you know, if you'd like, on Friday, you'd wear a Hawaiian shirt. And jeans. And jeans. If you'd like. And lo and behold, that's kind of been Pinders thing. Now that we're on a visual, there's a visual element. the show you've been wearing your hawaiian shirts i've exhausted my three shirt collection yeah

i have to go buy hawaiian shirts this weekend and look who popped up on the youtube's with their not only a hawaiian shirt but the same shirt yeah what are the odds say but one red warner i had to steal this out of the kid's room the big dope's room that is so crazy the big dope man. So is that in a regular rotation for the kid? Is he firing that on once twice a week? I don't know. I don't know.

I can't believe it made the cut to make the way down here because he doesn't have his full wardrobe. And you know what I'm mad about Pinder? When I was in Australia, like forever ago. I bought one of those Australian beer shirts. You ever seen those? Okay. They're awesome.

And I, uh, I tossed it. couple years ago in a oh i don't know clean of the closet i'm like i never wear this get rid of it was beautiful on award every friday i have all kinds of dumb shirts and i refuse to throw them out even as they get holes in the armpits and ratty and like you know i can't wear them in public but like my drink wisconsinally t-shirt or the the the kgb still watching you shirt things like that they're very important and they're all in like a bin in my storage but i can't let go they're still there Good for you.

In case, you know, we need to cover something in Milwaukee. I've got that shirt to go back to. That's right. Well, I guess we've kind of avoided the subject to probably the number one subject of the show long enough. Alex, berating us. That's right, Alex is just, gosh, enough, dude. Oh, my God. Flames dropped their third in a row last night over at the dome by a score of four to one to the Nashville Predators,

who had, what, lost seven of eight coming in, got thrashed by the Oilers a couple nights earlier. Yep. they come in with their backup goal tender and deserved every minute of that hockey game for the most part a little bit in the third goes the flames way another slow start they give a little try when they were down three in the third that's cute another slow start and i i will say this is the worst game of the season for the flames in terms of energy production give a crap that whole thing yeah um Um, which maybe we shouldn't be surprised. It's, I, I'm at the point now where I'm, I feel like continuing to say that they need a road trip that it's been too long at home.

I feel like you're letting them off the hook a little bit. Yes. Be better. The effort. I understand you're playing. I get it. You're still at home. You're still, are they flooding the ice?

Like you're wearing clean stuff. They still get paid for that game last night. Yeah. They don't get to give that paycheck back because they weren't trying and it was a dog shit effort. So I don't know. I, uh, honestly, like, we've talked a lot. about darrell and lines and development of young players that all doesn't matter if you're going to work the way they worked last night the bigger issue is not that this team has a poorly constructed

roster it's that they had three shots or 23 minutes when they talked about how poor their effort was the game before this is an effort issue and probably there's reasons it's hard to play well when you haven't left the province for your first nine games, but still, like, that's embarrassing. Please tell me you're at the game, Dean. I did not make the game last night. I was planning on going, and then I had a, well, and to your point, I wasn't regretting it for very long. It would be awkward to fall asleep in the press box, wouldn't it? Yeah, it's cold outside and start the car, goes, I'll heck, you know, I'll go Saturday.

Saturday I'll go. That feels like a better night. Third straight loss, the one against the Oilers played well. One goal game. It's a mistake in the third. Move along. Could have won that game. Didn't move on. Seattle comes in, had the lead. You lose.

Whoops. Slop Fest, too. Don't let it happen again. Yeah. Last night, third straight loss. Now all of these, Lankinen, Joey DeCord, and Skinner, if you want to go there. It's got like three conceiv. executive backup goaltenders you've faced. Certainly I would think in Seattle and probably

Nashville. Yeah. Those are teams that you would have if you were taking like we've been saying all week. When you look at this slate of games, if you throw in the one road game to Edmonton, this home stand, where are you getting wins, where are you getting losses? Well, Pittsburgh. Well, that's nice. You get a win there. Colorado. That's pretty good. Vegas. Nice. Edmonton in Edmonton. That's impressive. You've given them all back. Yeah. Is where you sit now. They, uh, the five and one start is. gone they are four and four at home and retro you you watched it i you you played so the whole there's a lot of things happen over the course of a season that you as a player can relate to

and you can appreciate how hard the difficulties here and there this homestand i guess is one of them we always hear about the first game after a road trip that whole thing but don't you similarly feel like that's a bit of a cop out for what we saw last one stinker under their belt It's a cop out, but I think one of the big concerns for me is that it, it reminds me of the team a couple years ago, where, okay, like you said, the, the players game, yeah, there's no complaining about that game. That's a good team and it's tough to win and you had a chance to win and a bad break,

whatever. Not so good against Seattle, but still should have done well. That's okay. we can let that slide but certainly you'll bounce back with a big effort against Nashville and put all the you know, naysayers or

questions any of the questions that have started to arise that's going to get put to bed right? Oh. Oh. Three shots in 23 minutes. It didn't look like you bothered to show up which is what you used to do and I don't

like seeing that. And I thought Gerald jumped the gun on making line changes but now it really looks like you jump the gun because now what do you do go back because they've been terrible okay i guess but i think again my biggest concern is that last year and to be to finish first you can't do it but they and they didn't last year they didn't have flat games they didn't show up and not compete for a game they may lose a game but it wasn't because they were out of it and that team last night looked like a team that was they would have rather been at home to be quite honest i agree

and i i had written it down last night this feels like the first time since the jeff ward not to throw him under the bus but remember when darrell came in and fans and ever were so tired of watching where's the emotion why you start on time why are you flat where is periods off why can't you try that whole thing then darrell came in and even in losses you couldn't really question the effort or the try it was there they may just not you're not going to win every night this is felt a little bit like that blase a kind of team that you had there's a lot of hockey games out there yes this is hard to get up for it's hard to go play every night it's this is oh yeah they looked like an exhausted group that has no excuse to be exhausted and yeah oh we haven't been on the road haven't been on the road

boo-hoo. Like, really? Come on. There gets too long. This homestands too long. And now they're playing like shit. He's like, you don't give me that excuse. Yeah. It is too long. Right. And I agree with it. But it doesn't give you the gar blanche to go, ah. You're not on vacation. It's not Friday vacation Friday. Is it? Like, take the day off. Last year, they did. They had a five game road trip. They went five and oh after a pair of. to open at home. They came back for three or four and then went back out for like a seven game, roadie. And I like, again, that effort last night was dog shit. But I think that was a perfect

scenario for Daryl's first full season. He had the tail end of the Jeff Ward year to indoctrinate how we're going to play. It's not super dissimilar here. There's a lot of new faces in big minutes. Like new pairs up for essentially Anderson Hannafin and everyone's got new linemates. with maybe the exception of the backland line they've got right now. It's a very different schedule in the one they had last year. And to your point, the effort's been pretty different as well here. I mean, if you just go back to that Ebbington game, up to that point, it's a great start of the season. You have one whoops of daisies against Buffalo, but to put two of these together in a row against backups at home when you know you're entering eight games in 14 days, which was what the Seattle was the first of.

it's really disappointing. It's like, are you reading the press? Completely healthy. You're just going to show up and get two points? Or do you actually have an interest in outworking another team? You've been outworked by bad teams or mediocre teams. And I think some of the guys are, well, some of the guys. Huberto's gripping it.

Hey? Like, this looks like a guy that's stressed out about not putting points up. And I was, are they trying to use him on that drop back pass on the power play? The power play is just God awful. Like it's, it's been bad since the Evanton game. But before that, it was humming. And you could see it all.

So I don't know if it's just gripping or if it's one of those things where you see power plays do this throughout the year. It's a bad three game stretch. But he's trying to make everything so pretty to the point where it's like just rifle some on netman. It almost looks like they don't know what to do. There was the one, there was one entry last night. Anderson has the puck. And he kind of looks for a drop back, but it's not there. So he keeps going and he gets to the blue line and then it stops around and loses it.

Yeah, it looked like it looked like me. What am I doing? I don't know. Here, just take it. Oh, okay. It's like they are. I was thinking about it last night because last year when you have Godreau, obviously, I got annoyed with the old bump back to Godreau all the time anyway. But exactly, he can still get it in and get it set up.

Okay. Well, nothing wrong with that. You don't have that guy. you may want to change your approach to it might be a chip and go get it kind of sir you may have the the horses for that sort of play i don't know if you and again i don't have everything memorized probably correctly but is is huberdow the guy that they're trying to drop it back to and if he is he's he's the same kind of guy that can get in and set it up because it hasn't looked like it lately that powerpoint was sad last thing yeah it was and brutal against And it had the chance.

And they had the chance to make a difference to powerplay. Like there were opportunities where it's like, okay, here's a chance to close a gap or to get feeling good about stuff. And it was almost reverse where it was like, well, this is interesting. The one time. They're down three nothing and they get three power plays the rest of the game and generate nothing. Like that could have been your here we go. Right.

And again, when you are down three nothing and you get those power plays, it's a bit of a double whammy when they're that poor, right? Like they didn't even get momentum from them. It wasn't like they buzzed it around and created opportunities and got Nashville back on their heels so that the next shift, even though the power plays over, they still got them reeling and they got them running. It was, oh, I thought it was the same as the Seattle game.

It gave the opponent momentum. Yeah. Yeah. It was like, that two minutes is over already. Didn't get a shot. didn't get it couldn't even get in the zone perfect here we go i thought that the other i thought thought the opponent appreciated the power place more than the flames did and look don't look now but it might be the toughest game of the homestand the team that's coming in tomorrow night yeah we'll

talk about this devil's team when's the last time they've looked like this well i haven't got saved for a while but yeah it's jesper bratt looks like a stud five in a row we'll we'll talk about about the devils because that's going to end the trip and the stand. Sorry, yeah, it's going to end the stand. You, you play against them like you did last night. I fear that it's egg on your face embarrassing. 4-1 would be flattering. Well, no Chris Tanev last night, retro, and I know that we saw it in the playoffs.

They were a different team without him, and they miss him dearly when he is not in there. it seems. I don't think it was TAN. I get what you're saying and he is yeah, he's missed, but I don't think that TANF being out of the lineup had any implication of the outcome of that game. I don't think TANF in that game.

That's more Zinorov than you want. That's what I'd say. It is, but it had nothing to do with their de-coverage or, you know, lying down on a two-on-one. They lost that game because they were horse shit and they didn't show up to play sutter was asked about the with with no tannive and his quote was kind of talking about the pairings but he said quote tough league to win in you got to have tough guys we had a good game plan but you have to have the courage to execute at nashville is a

big strong team that's another thing i mean the when you bring up the courage he's done that before that's i mean that's a shot across the bow at your players if you don't have if you don't have your don't have the courage but also much like how seattle came in and had energy and drive and they forechecking and that took the body nashville did the same thing probably worse last night their fourth line was buzzing on them we said that sizzins line was going at them whereas a year ago it was the flames that were maybe not if not striking fear but that was part of their identity that now when you play the flames you need to be ready for a heavy game this is not a heavy flames team at all right now. Well, but why aren't they heavy? Like what's changed that's made them less heavy?

That's it for me. Exactly. It's all about, like that, it's, it's not water bugs. They've got big veterans that can be physical. They're just choosing to or they don't want to work. You just don't, if you're not playing with the energy, yeah. So it's not that the lineup is, is softer than last year. It's that they have decided to take a couple nights off. And we didn't see that last year. And it's a veteran group so you don't blame things on kids being you know what i mean oh well getting used to darrell well there's a couple guys may be getting used to darrell but the rest of you have been around it you know what the expectation is does it not then this is going to be terrible does it not wreak more of a team that's going oh i can't continue to work this hard then it shouldn't be lots of

faces yeah well and and that was the badge of honor that i think you had with this team is They're going to work. Well, to be fair, until Seattle on Monday, they did. I mean, Buffalo game exempt. They've worked pretty darn hard this year. They fall down to two nothing to two good teams in Carolina and Vegas. And it's like, I didn't see this as an issue. And like, I think if you put Magiapani, Dubay and Cadroback together,

they are going to work their tails off. Like, I just think you've lost that. Like, who's the line you go to and you need a spark? Who can you trust to? But if that, if your chances, you're talking maybe about three of nine games already this season. of where you've questioned the effort. That's, it's not insignificant.

No, it's not. But one out of the first seven and you're not worried, right? And so it's just, it's two, or it's an awful effort. And it happens to coincide to some very unusual looking lines and bad habits and a long homestand. Like there's a million excuses for it. It's, it's not what Darrell team looks like. That's for sure.

I think Darrell Sutterhockey, they played the last two. Sloppy turnovers, like guys trying to do too much, not working hard. Like, this is some, you know, less than a million dollars. are we're paying two coaches bringing Glenn Gulletton and Jeff Ward hockey to take more shots at the former coach like this doesn't look like a Daryl team right now some kind of collateral damage there for oh but seriously like come on this is not Daryl hockey okay not Daryl hockey you're right it's not derail hockey but do you expect that to change or is this the trend we're going to see this year that's my concern it's like it better not be not excuses they've got this well better not be it should have been last night so of course not of course not and they said unacceptable, inexcusable, can't let it happen again. So we'll see. You know, if you play like that, you don't make the playoffs.

This roster is way too good for that to happen. It's a bad stretch. Every team in the NHL, including the cup champions, everyone will have a bad week. The flames hope their bad week is done by the time the puck drops 8 p.m. on Saturday night. Three losses and six days. There's part of me that wonders, though, and it's a dangerous spot. where if the flames is the players in that room,

if they believe the reason that they're not playing well is because they've been at home too long. And then they go on the road and they play similarly and lose, then what is it? And now you're talking about maybe losing four out of six or six of eight kind of a thing. I go back to,

this was Sutter's quote from last time. He was asked about this, does it need a road trip been at home for a long time? Quote, seems like we've been home for a long time, but I'm not looking that far ahead. It's not winning or losing. I'm looking at the process and

performance of the guys, that's a concern. Yep. And I agree. I don't, I've not played. You know better than me, but I feel like this is not just a crutch for media. Everyone's asking and talking about it, but I feel like it might be a crutch for the players too. If they get out in the road and realize, oh, home or away, it's hard. We have to work harder than we've been working. I'm with you. I think it can very easily be forgotten in a week, but the way they've performed, for the last couple days, screams of old habits of been lazy and not into the,

and I have bigger concerns. It'll be easy if they rectify things. And they get this, you know, okay, yeah, nothing to see here. Great. But I, there's a lot of things to question too. And, and, and.

It's their two worst games of the year. Best start of the year. Oh, up one point, and then you lose these two. You know, and Pinder brings up aside from the Buffalo, but a buff, that's, like Boom said,

well, that's three out of nine. That's 30% of the games where you haven't decided to show up and play. Okay, well, they're at home. Okay, yeah, for sure. But the power play stinks when you have an opportunity. You didn't show up to play against a couple of teams that you probably should beat with any type of effort. I mean, there's more concern than there is,

I don't know even know what the word I'm looking for, but there's plenty of reason to be concerned, I guess is what I'm trying to say. And this is the, you're coming on every day and you react to what you saw the night before. How would a conversation have sounded after 40 minutes on Saturday against Edmonton? You're up to 1.

You're on the brink of winning six of your first seven. It's great. And so we have to remember this is a tiny sample. And to your point, Mr. What about the, if the glass is half empty. Yeah, if this turns into something worse, that's, that's big problem. Yeah, I know you. I'm completely out of character.

The flip side is true that if they can play, if they can be on the front foot and dictate turns of play against a very good team, tomorrow night, New Jersey, who I don't think will catch them by surprise. I think people are paying enough attention to understand that this is a team that is near the top of the league in a lot. of categories and it's not special teams carrying this group if you can outwork that team and earn a win i think that would dispel a lot of well maybe it's glass half full and you know what the way they go on the road there's six and four in the first 10 600 hockey take it what's darrell doing with the lines is he trying to make it like is he trying to drive home a point to the players is he trying to expose elias lind home or make a point because there is no way that guy he's a hall of famer he's got jewelry

He's, there's no way he's standing behind the bench thinking, ah, this is close to working. And until a Markstrom Gaff behind the net, the original lines essentially had yet six and one. And we, we talk maybe the top line needs to be better. Hubert, oh, that, but it wasn't bad, but the cadre line was good. You like what the back line was doing. You were fine. Now, I think he's screwed up. No way. I think he screwed up. I think he's screwed up and I think he doesn't. And I think it's sent a message to the guys and it might have been a message he wanted to send but it i think it rattled

those guys i think they probably saw it like we like i mean and we're no experts and if in darrell we trust but but in this one i think he made a mistake it wasn't i agree things weren't that bad yeah things weren't going so poorly that you had to to to make any changes and the changes have worked in reverse in my opinion and you can try to see all luch was so good i heard some of the guys kelly and them saying on the broadcast and i'm like well some bad terms looking i don't i don't i don't see it that way at all the effort's no good we're not we're not playing in their end we're not controlling the play at all like those lines don't look good they don't feel good lindholm looks so long

lost. Hubertos out to lunch right now. Like it's they aren't good. And manjapani, who was an impact every game on that other line, have barely seen him. Yeah. The last week. He's been very quiet. I wouldn't be surprised they went back to the old jazz standard to skate today. Would you? Like, I mean, Daryl can do whatever he wants, but it's not like, oh, geez, he made this change. He's stuck with it. No, change it if you want. No, and that's, but that's the reason I ask because I feel like he would have done it sooner. One game. I mean, he probably oversteered. I just mean that they played one game where they weren't good and he didn't change him. So maybe you give them more than one game. Okay, you know what? Like, would anyone be surprised they went back to the old lines?

No, but I just don't know what. What was he thinking? It was again last night for the entire game. Luchich on the second. I honestly, I feel like he's almost doing this early in the season to make a point. disagree. I think Daryl's a smart enough guy that there's something that bigger a play. Short-term pain for long-term gain kind of a thing because there's just no way he's watching and feels like this is close to working or breaking through. They look as disjointed as they have all year. And I think the only thing we should note is I believe the Rune dog is in, not Rizichka. That's fourth line. So. Rune dog. That's right. Kevin Rooney. Oh, Rundock. Old Rosie.

Crush and corn last night. Again. I mean, that's what a crushing corn. Eight of the first nine, crushing corn? I mean, here's the thing. Get him on the phone and figure out what the fuck is going on. I'd like to ask him. You know what Adam has me confused? The same guy that was huge and skilled that went in the fourth round. You know why?

The same reason he can't win Darrell over. Because he has one chance to get in the lineup and you're like, go get it, kid. And they allow two and take a penalty and get scores. It wasn't just that, though. Of course, he's never been consistent. His best game, looks great, but then you're like, how are you that big and we never notice you? Like, don't you know who your coach is?

Run into someone on every shift and you'll stay in the lineup. Well, yeah, but at some point you get to. It's just he can't or he would have already. You're just not going to do it. What is he 24? I know. 23. Like, just not him.

And the knock at the draft was consistency and the knock at every single level. It's not like he's not skilled enough, but it's got, Rennie Bork disease. Has he got. And I don't, I'm not, that certainly is the knock on him. But has he been given an opportunity to be consistent? Little, not a huge one. And that's again, back to the Daryl conversation. But knowing your coach, you best not wait around to get it going, right?

Was Ruzit. I'm not, again, I'm not going easy on anyone. But Ruzichka was, he's worse than Lewis and Rooney. I just think the coach trusts those other guys to turn it over less than him. Based on, because he won. A cop with Lewis 10 years ago when Lewis was faster and better and younger. Oh, okay. How old was Lewis?

This is going to be a criticism for Daryl until he pulls it out of the hat and everyone starts playing again. But this, well, it's, it's a lot of room to criticize. Yeah. It's been a few taking some stray bullets today, hey? Yeah. Reni Borg for no reason. Like just right out of the left field took one right in the shoulder blades. Is there another flame that epitomizes?

Glenn Gulletson, Jeff Ward. Now, the Troy Brower, were we on or was that before the show? Okay. Just a lot of, a lot of fire going wayward today. Great agent, Troy. Wow. What a great job. Find the agent.

What was the quote Daryl had? People are like, gosh, you guys are so gloomy. It's Friday. You do this every day. Like you say, you react to what's most recent. Overreaction Central. Yeah. What was the quote that Daryl had?

We're not slow, but we're playing slow. Was that something to that effect? Like this year or last year? When he took over for more? He's like, we're not a slow team, but we play slow. Yeah. And I think what we saw was they take a puck, hold it behind the net. The whole team changes.

And it was like, no, like pace, pace. And that was one of the things that he was working on really hard when he took over for Ward. It's like, we've got all this skill. Why are we like slowing everything down? And it might just be a byproduct of these last two games, but they've looked a little bit like that again. Like it's a slug. kind of a team. And I don't know if they need, if they're a slow team or they're just playing

slow, but they have been out hustled and out jammed here for a couple of days. They've also turned the puck over like crazy. I don't know what's going on. It's been awful. Like simple play to be made. How is the other team coming? I'm on the wall. The moisture levels have changed in the atmosphere with the cold weather and now the ice is off at the saddle dome. It's all goofy. It's bounce. Look pretty good for the, you know, who didn't have a problem of the ice was the people to play in Tennessee for whatever reason. They're used to bad ice. That's the, that's right.

It's a secret. They've unlocked their secret. Bridgestone orita. People are keeping the doors open trying to get bad ice. You said something before we came on that if you had that info yesterday morning, you'd have bet the farm on it. Every single time a former flame goes away, his first game back, sure is shit, you can guarantee they're going to score.

Sam Bennett, Dougie Hamilton, and Mark Jankowski, I didn't even realize this Duster was back up in the show. He's playing with Milwaukee until recently. If we'd known he was in, I mean, put your mortgage down and move to an island. What was the anytime Mark Jankowski goal going to pay on Betway? Like 15 to 1? I was like, Mark Jankowski. Where are they dig him up?

Scores, of course. Right off the bench. Of course he did. On to his tape and like, barred out. Yeah. Bardo boy. Didn't Gio score two in the first game back?

Didn't he get one? How would he not? I think. How could he not have? Yeah. It's just how do you get a guy like that? They're a top. Well, are we 10 years off of that draft class yet?

Because I guess 10. Did they say 2012? Well, I mean, Feaster. Yeah. Two of the top. Where's Seeloff? The Seeloff breaking teammates. Listen, when they took Jankeowski, they told you.

It's a project. It's not going to happen overnight. So maybe it's finally coming around. Yeah, what they didn't realize it was a project and learning what to say to the media after you, draft a guy that's playing high school hockey in Quebec. That was the project. We're going to have to check in with the guys at South Street

because already today, you're doing your part for kids sport. It's for the kids, Dean. It's for the kids. The swear jar is brought to you by Sell Street Burger. We're going to have to check in and see what we're doing for. Princey, it's been a, yeah, been putting up some nuts. We got some real numbers going today.

Every Sunday in the month of November, South Street, Burger, New York, Frye is hosting a family skate at Optimist Park. Sunday afternoon, starting at 1245. You're invited to come out for a little free skate over at Optimist Arena. They got giveaways and prizes and just a jolly good time. Unlike this show, they're going to be having fun and frivolity. It'll be pleasant. Just beat the devils on Saturday. We'll be great spirits on Monday.

And they have partnered, as I said, with kids, sport, Calgary. And every little bit that goes into the swear jar is going to go straight to kidsport Calgary. Seven South Street locations across Calgary, South Streetburger.com for locations. Yeah, the Devils, they win last night, two goals and seven seconds. Ooh. Against the Oilers who looked like they had that thing tucked away. Apparently, Jeff Skinner's not going to play 950 hockey the whole of season. Apparently.

We're five in a row for the Devils. They've outscored their opposition 23, 8 in that span. An eight of nine, if you want to. I'll throw one more in there. That's impressive. Yes, for Brat, a season opening 11 game point streak. He's got, what, 17 points in the 11 games. Nico Heeshire is a point of game guy now.

Well, forget about him almost. Those two teams, you want to talk about it. Like, that was the lottery ball bowl. Like, those two teams keep winning stupid lottery balls and picking high, top three, number one. And you wondered about the devil's selections. And all of a sudden, it's all coming together. They didn't get a lot of saves last year.

I don't think they're that bad analytically, but if you don't have saves, ask Seattle how it's going to go. They do. I don't mind that team. Found away. I got something in the PIN report for you. Like,

they're not really bad at anything that would be a sign that this is unsustainable. A lot of the underlings are really strong here. Like, for example, second in shots per game, fewest shots allowed per game. You think that's a good recipe? That sounds like Sutter hockey. It does.

Oh, he'd be safe. mouth watering just trade teams let's go uh we're here in the tower at Chrysler studios serge is already texting in he's a jacked up so big big on right out next week he's a very excited he is very he should be excited he should be thanks to everybody over a tower when's that state club me again i'm not sure the tower state club ready now do we know is it kind of stealthy do they just barge right in and say hey Oh yeah 19 steak sandwiches let's go yeah and you're on notice it better be good you better bring your a game you the results if you'd like yeah they sent us retro the uh kind of the backlog for people who don't know the

the boys over at tower they have a steak club and once a month i think it's around months once a month they go and look and just steak sandwiches and i said to surge when we first got talking to i said that was one of kind of one of the things that i thought we always talked about where's the best pizza So where's the best? Wings, hot chicken sandwich or whatever. You know, that's kind of new. For Alberta, where's the best steak sandwich? He's like, dude, I can't believe you said that.

We have a steak club. We do that. You guys got to get in. So we've been indoctrinated. Is that what it is? So we're in on the steak club. And they just, they're very sneaky. How many, because they've been doing it, it looks like for years,

they have a database, they have spreadsheets. It shows how many times you visited in the quarter. How many visits this year? The average ranking. For example, the last one, a well establishment that won't be named didn't bring their A game

42 out of 60 on meat quality this is a compilation of all the data coming in 24 out of 60 on meat flavoring and seasoning that's rough fries only get at 39 out of 60 bun 52 I like the bun was good and then packaging 16 out of 30 those wooden forks

have got it got it got yeah they gave us these recyclable first snap yeah no good just no good come on better it's nice one yes a 63.9% that was a rough day at the old kitchen there over there better hope the main chef was on vacation they're not getting their meat from bontan that's for sure I doubt it severely yeah absolutely not we're gonna take some of that by by the way I've been talking to Greg we're gonna do what to him don't tell them don't tell the boys but I've been talking to Greg

we're gonna do that okay the thing and Over the tower. But don't tell them. Huge disappointment. 25 bucks for a charcoal meat puck. Like people are just, there's comments in here. It's beautiful.

It's ruthless. It really is ruthless. Overall rankings that drops them to 34th at a 38. So if you want a restaurant in Calgary, you may want to be, you know, swing by, buy yourself a ram or something. Get into their good books. Might be worth it in the end.

Bottom five. Yuck. When do you want to do our NFL picks? You haven't done it again, right? This week, have you sent in picks or do we? I have not. It's only Friday. The bills.

You only need two because we got the bills. They're not on by. Right. Look at the rest of the schedule here. All you're doing that, why don't we do the Pinder report? Let's do it. A ton of games last night in the NHL. Some kind of unique instances that popped up on the NHL scale,

plus a football game, plus we're getting ready for football this. weekend it's time for the Pinda report brought to you by village Honda for a everywhere big city now north southeast west whatever quadrant of the city you're in people everywhere are driving all the way to the northwest get your ass up there to get in the get themselves some some village Honda get some village honda get some village honda dot com 76630th av northwest all right fellas busy slate in the n hl and you know what there's scores there's data but we lead with the stuff you really need to know.

The hard hitting water cooler activity conversations, what in the name of the sweet Lord were the Tampa Bay Lightning wearing last night? Did you see these jerseys? I don't know if you're familiar with a little program called MS Paint that was invented in 1986. But whoever designed those jerseys, probably not that good with it.

Garbage, garbage, garbage. Here's the thing. If you bitch about jerseys, you're, you're kind of old and you don't want to have fun. And I get that. Take a moment here. Soke that all in. But these, these jerseys, now they did wear something kind of like this, what, in the 90s? They had the white and yellow lightning bolts down the arm.

I don't remember the waves on the bottom. Did a grade three class design this for Tampa when they went into the community? Was this a fundraiser? Is there a kid in a hospital bed that had a dream to make a job? Jersey. This is horrible. Well, not if that's the case, I'm fine with it. But if a professional that works for the lightning or a boardroom sat and looked at this and said, yes, this is a move. Like, come on. Well, and if if people want to bitch about the, the graphics on the boards, oh, I can't believe they're

wearing logos on their stickers on their helmets and logos on their jerseys, but you're okay with that. You need to give your head of shape. Look at this steaming pile. That's horrendous. If that, that's roller hockey. Yes. This is. Totally it. That's the Orlando whoopty-duce roller hockey league. Go put the original six jerseys next to this and ask the NHL how they, how, like, feel shame. Go sit in the corner. Look what you've done.

You've got flames on the sleeves. Jeez. Look at the look on dude's face. He knows it too. He's like, uh, Jesus Christ. Not even going to mention the final score. Let's move along. Speaking of crazy and unprofessional, Jordan Bennington still playing net in St. Louis.

And here's a little end of the period. Binnington switching ends as they play the islanders. Now watch the old bin dog here. He's a hot head we know. And it's like, oh, end of the period. Just going to skate to the bench. And oh, oh, oh, oh, so. Sorokan.

It was just days ago he was swinging his stick at the other bench. It just, it's unbelievable. Skating off and he's got an islander in his ear. He's sour. You know that. He's a hot head. and then throws his shoulder into the chest of the Islander goalie. Noted Richard Jordan Bennington still at it.

Okay, we'll move along. He's a competitor, Ryan. He cares. He's a red ass. He's like Randy Johnson. He's, uh, who else is like Mike Smith is kind of a red ass? Like, it's that whole crew. That's me against the world.

Mike Smith, Randy Bork, taking bullets. Troy Brower. Randy Johnson. Uh, I wish they weren't here tomorrow because we, we could really celebrate the New Jersey Devils. What a job they did last night. Up in the cultural capital,

swinging through Western Canada on a heater, down in the third by two. And all they do is put up three goals in the third. How about two in seven seconds? Watch them go. Now that is a leaky goal there on the skin dog. A lot of dogs today. Well, skin flute if you want.

I just thought dog could be better. So let's go drop the pocket center a right, shall we? Okay. Do you G cannot be happy. It's a tie game and away we go. Skin flute. How are you that open? Good night, sweet prince.

Game over. I was going to say, is it a bad line change? Well, no, because it's off the face off. No, they just, they had the chance to change seconds ago. Drink your water, Jay. You hate to see it. Yeah, just tough, eh? Yeah.

That team that got gifted all those generational talents when they tried to be good because they were so bad. Just shame they choked those. one's away. Vancouver's been an item of conversation throughout the course of the season because it's been such an incredibly bad start. Last team in the league to get a win. Well, they got a little secret sauce last night as they signed Kevin BXA, former jerkbag, but suddenly way too likable as a media member, one day contract, pumped up the boys with the speech and look at this red. He dressed for morning skate, put on the gear. A little pep talk with.

Kev is this a Richard move or the biggest beauty of all time I used to hate him but I like him now so I can't I said the same thing it's all of us it's all of us I cannot believe it I know why can't you just be a jerk so we can keep hating you and I liked it he went out he did morning skate and he was you know he still looked still looked okay he's in good shape or whatever but it was it was kind of cool and I hate it was Vancouver and BXA what is going on. But yeah, you had kind of a nice speech to the players. It was nice. I liked it. Yeah, apparently the speech didn't hurt. They came out and pumped the ducks over pays. That's an obvious one. How about 10 points for the line of Kuzmenko, the Russian rookie, Elias Pedersen and Ilya

McCabe. Uh, haddy for Kazemko. And here's the Pedersen goal. He's five points on the night. Races for contact, tucks are home. Oh, baby. Big win. They got three on the year. know look out calgary you like that red the because we were talking about it before we went on remember chicago would do that as maybe with former players that weren't going to have their jerseys hung or be on a wall of fame or that sort of thing but they would bring them out i think ed olchick was one of the guys andrew shaw didn't they do that with him one last shift or think i think they call it so they bring the guy out and he's wearing the gear and he skates out for the fans and he kind of has his day um cheesy or kind of cool it's for the fans obviously and for the player oh it's for the guy too

It's a great failure. I think it's a great thing, actually. I actually really like it. It feeds guys. Heart and solar. Which is nice. Yeah, fans can show some appreciation and the guy gets to feel good about walking away. Because usually it's the old garbage bag and Sionara, right?

Yeah, that's fair. What are they going to do that for Rhett? Pump up the boys, big speech. Shoulders. Burred a lot of shoulders. Shoulders can't put the shoulder pads on anymore. So flames and devils tomorrow real quick. Talk about the form the devils are in.

Tied for sixth and goals for game. Tied for fourth goals against per game. Number two in shots four, number one in shots against, fourth best penalty kill in the league. And the power playing even humming yet with all those pieces. It's 22nd. Look the hell out flames. Devils are good.

What kind of bridges are? Okay. A lot of birds. A lot of. Various bridges and sidewalks have been tore up. Yeah. Poor red. That's why you had to leave.

You had to leave Calgary. Too many bridges. Persona non grata. He's an idea guy. Yeah. NFL. Undefeated Eagles remain undefeated. Take a look at 8.

No. It's the first time ever. While Eagles fly. But Philadelphia has been at that mark in the NFL. Didn't cover, though. Beat Houston. It was 14. 14.

A half. Houston was up seven. Nothing. Wow. Yeah, I know. And the schedule's softer than puppy poop. So I don't think we're going to stop talking about the undefeated Eagles anytime soon. I don't know if they're the best team in football.

They're not going to have to play a Buffalo or Kansas City for a while. I said this before. I think it was earlier this week or last week. And you mentioned the schedule. If you go and look at the teams that they've faced and will face, they're going to have a great record. They already do. I still don't see them in the Buffalo, Kansas City.

I think that those, you've got those two. Then there's a next tier. I will say, weather gets bad, what do you have to be able to do? Run the ball, stop the run. Philly's better than that at Buffalo than Buffalo. I like the, obviously the aerial tax is much more dynamic. But if it's windy, stopping the run than the bills, I believe so. I think that defense is better than the bills in that department.

We'll see. I mean, they're running the ball as easily as any team in football. That plays well as the weather gets bad. Josh Allen heaving balls 40 yards. A little harder to do when it's minus 10 and winds coming in at 30 miles an hour. Bills are still very good. You're going to set this guy straight, Warner? Wow.

The stupidity that's leaving his mouth at this moment is a staggling. I'd love to see it happen, Rhett. Bill's can't. So Josh Allen won't be able to throw the ball. I mean, they're done for, boom, we might. Cancel the trip. Cancel the trip. Yeah.

Mahomes terrible with passing. Tom Brady. Awful. So thoughts here on a tough spot for the Philadelphia Eagles. Tough spot. Jalen Hertz from Houston making his money as a professional athlete in Philadelphia. Who's he cheering for in the World Series? Before he put it up, Alex, hang on.

I need a guess. Who is he backing? He got the stroes from his hometown. Where's he got the Phillies where he's making his paycheck? I think he's all in on the Phillies. Retrope. Phillies. Boy.

No, he's a hometown boy. Homestown. 100%. Ret. He's taking both sides again. I know. Yeah.

I'll stay with Phillies. The greats make it look easy. Yeah. He's got the Phillies, boy. He does have the, Houston's always going to be my home, but this is where I'm from,

but this is my home now, Philly. So there you go. If he's in Philly and he doesn't want the wrath of the Philly, that's like somebody said the other day, something about, oh, about a teammate.

Oh, he's a good guy. It's like, well, really. So you're on the same team and someone asks you if your teammates a good guy and miraculously he is. Oh, that's okay. Weird. Weird that you're right. It's a really tight room. The guys love each other.

It's a very special room. Miss the playoffs. He's playing in Philly. What's going to say? I hate the Philly fans. I'm an Astros guy. Like, it's no chance. He wasn't at the game last night because he was in Houston.

The baseball game was in Philly. The final game in Philly. Philadelphia before they plays game six and potentially seven in Houston and a big opportunity bottom eight two out runner us on the corners for the Phillies here's your chance Trey Mancini is subbed in at first for you league guriel big out they squeak out of the jam to the Astros they're coming home guess by just a little laser down the line they're heading home I went away and that catch by Chaz out in yeah early on right center on the fence is it late

It was when I flipped over. Okay. Oh, nine. Yeah, it was the ninth. Is that the one where he's up in the chain link? Because there might have been two of those then.

Yeah. Chase, boys. And, uh, Phillies, plucky and hardworking. Astro's better team. It's kind of playing out that way. They're not going to win in Philly.

Well, somehow they want two. And now they're heading home with a win away. You can hear Sarah. What is our puckering from here. Mm-hmm. They always say your first legitimate championship is the hardest one. right what's that grill i had you bought those tickets frank invited us down to go witness that that

was nice yeah yeah he'll be see you want to see who's winning boom you want to see who's winning who's that oh wrong way okay back stop spa is that the d u g is that the old man wow Oh, where is he? The Dug is living life. Sitting in the hot tub. Look, holy smoke. He's at the spa. That's your Pender Report.

Little manny penny for Dug. Wow. Where is he? It's hot tub weather, boys. It's hot tub weather. Yeah, he's sitting out on the island with the following my nephew around. Following trail. There it is.

Look at this. Runner on. It was not on. You're right. Man. Yeah. I think it was John Marosey was saying afterwards. as a right-handed catching outfielder.

If he's catching with his left hand, that's a, he may not get it. No. Because he's got these got with the glove on the front side. If you're not a lefty, it doesn't exist, doesn't it? That's real mutual, wasn't it?

Yeah. It's like there's, there's this. Uh, Pinda report brought to you by Village Honda, your dealership for life in the Northwest. Auto Mall, go and see Anthony and all the good folks up there.

at your earliest convenience. Yeah, please do. Village Honda.com. They're waiting for you. Yeah, they're waiting for you right now. Treat you're right. We'll do our, uh, just two games tonight, eh?

Is there? That's it. That's it? NHL, two games. Are they doing the European stuff this week, this weekend? Isn't that today tomorrow? Temper.

They're playing two games. Yeah. Rett hates it. He doesn't want Finnish guys to be able to go home and grow the game. He's furious that they're doing this. And, uh, well,

it's an embarrassment that the leagues even thought about it. 12 noon, the CBJs and the Colorado's are playing today. The only other game, the Sabres are in Carolina, where you were supposed to be, or are you not? That's true. That's correct. I was supposed to be heard.

It was a great party. Yeah, sad I couldn't go. So you got Rentonan, Lecinen, what else, Lainey, Kekeleinen. Yep. All kinds of fins. Homecoming.

And Rhett? Hates it. I do. I hate it stupid and you know it's stupid and it's poorly planned out and it's a detriment to the players and there's no way it's dumb. I say fold the league. A detriment to the players. Yeah. Why is it so bad for the players?

They get treated like gold. They'll be all sitting over there looking like your old man in some Swedish hot tub, some Swedish baths. Isn't that what they do over there? Is that what your dad is? Is he over in Tampa to watch the blue jackets and the abs? Just because you, again, you can pay the athletes and you can fly them all over and they could play in the Antarctic. And why aren't we growing the game in Chile? Let's go to, let's get to Chile.

We've got to get to Chile and probably, you know, some of those, we should go back to China for a while and do that again. Because that was a great experiment and everyone did well after that trip over there and Japan. When they did that in the 90s, that was awesome. It really helped grow the game. It's so much bigger in Japan now. And let me tell you, Finland, they're not sure about hockey. They've not bought in. They're a country that's on the edge of maybe liking hockey,

but let's get over there and grow that game in that 3 million people market. That's going to be good. Let's do it. Not only are they growing in Finland. You know what? I'm this close to hanging up on your stupidity today. What's also growing is apparently the blue jackets love for finish food. Here is a quote back and forth between two players on the blue jackets from Jeff Svoboda,

who covers the jackets. Johnny Godreau. I've been eating the Finnish food. Zach Rewinsky. No, you haven't. Goodro. Yeah, steak potatoes. I mean, it's made in Finland.

It's finished food. No, Johnny. Kids are so dumb. Let's do our betway bets. Let's get into our NFIP. NFL picks. What is this week nine? Yeah. It's by week hell. Like we're six teams are off. Halfway here. Right? Like we're more. Yeah. We're said we're round in third. We're around in

second word we're going to be without football right away. Oh, come on now. You're so glass half empty. It's a perfect example. Midpoint of the season and you're like it's already gone. It's past the midway point. She said. Is it? It is. Incorrect. Two and one across the board yet. Now, we didn't, uh, I don't remember Warner's picks because he didn't remember his picks. We should really write them down to keep them. Maybe not for red. He doesn't seem into it. Because you always know it's doing a lot of work for the show.

Yeah, it's always the bills. You want to go? Sure. Yeah, I'm ready. All right. Get after it. Here's our Betway NFL point spread picks. All right.

Put up the board. These are not sexy teams. These are teams getting points. And these are teams that maybe aren't the easiest outs. Washington at home. to the six and one. Seven and one. What is it? The Vikings are actually good. Yeah. I'm taking the points and the commandos without their endies on.

Uh, that's an early slate game. Is it Heineke? It is. Yeah. Okay. Whatever. Colts in New England getting five and a half. Sounds like Jonathan Taylor, not likely to be there. And they got some guy no one's ever heard of that Sam Etcheveri play card. And then, uh, Seattle's been actually quite strong. They're leading the NFC West, getting two and a half in Arizona. I hate the way it sounds in my mouth. Cardinals are a cop this pack for another week. They're going to be just fine.

Connor, I'll be better. Seattle can lose. Just lose by less than three. Let's go. Those are my Betway picks this week. All right. I am, I'm with you on one of them as we go to my picks. I agree with you on on Seattle.

I don't know, I don't exactly know what's happening. But Gino Smith has been as good or better than Russell Wilson would have been. They, uh, but Kenneth Walker's been unreal. Kenny the third. They've been, they've been playing well. I don't see. I just, I'm going to take the points. Like you say, I don't think Arizona's been great.

Kyler Marie is so hit and miss. Very not good. Plus two and a half. Give me the Seahawks. I am going to take the Carolina Panthers in CINC in CINC. I like the little hook on the seven and a half. You're getting seven and a half points. I'm going to take them and go with the Panthers on the road.

And I wanted to stay away from it. But I just, when you're a team, I texted Pinder. I was saying this to when you can honestly say, I think they'd be better with Joe Flacco. Yep. You've got issues. The Jets, Brees Hall is done. Yeah.

I think that the Bill's defense is going to, it's going to be fits for the, the milf hunter and the jets. The milf hunters. Give me the bills minus 11.5. It's too many points. They're on the road and I don't like it. But I think they pull this off.

I think this is a blood bath in New York. I mean, it feels like they're overdue for a blood bath. It's been like two, three weeks since they've blown the doors off someone. I'm kind of with you there. And Rhett, you're obviously in on the bills too. Yep. Bills. Raiders.

And I'll do a game that you guys didn't do. Green Bay. Raiders are laying a point and a half on the road in Jacksonville. Green Bay is in Detroit against the worst defense in the national football league. The Packers are three and a half point favorite. And the Packers starting to make some plays on offense. I mean, they got blown up by the bills, but backdoor covered. But you started to see some big plays from those young receivers.

Romeo Dobbs. Dobbs. Their running game should be better. No Jones, but. Lions traded away Hawkinson. Yeah, in division of all places. Not sure about Swift. It sounds like he may be back, but.

And I watched, you know, I enjoyed watching Hard Knocks. Did you watch the Hard Knocks this year? It was the Lions. Dan Campbell, man. You watch you can't help but love him, man. He's crying. He loves his players. He loves the game, man.

And then they, they still stink. He's going to get fired. They're terrible. I mean, that's what's worked for them is to continually fire guys after two years or you don't win. And then you put it in a new guy. he doesn't win for two years you fire him i mean it's a great philosophy it's working great for yeah was it since barry sanders since that team was good it's been a long times even then they

stuck didn't they make was it what they made one playoff appearance with stafford his quarterback that sounds right gross you think he's fitting in and okay in l a he's got the championship in the sun doesn't have to deal with detroit he hasn't been good this year's the wide receiver they had their robo catcher or whatever yeah calvin johnson yeah megatron not robo something thing yeah me get thrown baby that was right yeah robo catch we knew what you were saying we got you don't they owe him a bunch of money in the old like because he quit well so did barry this is what the lions do to you you'll you quit in your prime because you're sick of losing with a sad sack dump of an organization imagine how good things would be I'm a pro bowler

I'm gonna make another 50 million but I can't stand this loser organization I'm done both of Good stuff. Another one to watch, Tampa Bay at home to the Rams. You talked about bad the Rams have been. As bad as Tampa's been, that division's awful. Atlanta's leading the division. It feels like his last call for Tom Terrific and Company.

Divorced yelling at his O-line, Tom Brady. Win this week. We could go a long way and getting him into better spirits. And it's done, right? Too much stress in his life. He is too much stress, man. Tom and Giselle. It's over points.

Yeah. But here's I read this morning. Who's more excited, the shoveler or ret? If there's a free agents there. Anyone got the, anyone on the? Well, we could both upgrade. Yeah, there you go. See?

Does the shoveler like quarterbacks? There's a rumor going around. Other games on the, uh, how do you not? Everyone loves quarterbacks. Team leaders, team. What was the Raiders? Minus a point and a half on the road in Jacksonville. Why are they so bad?

They bring in. Why did we think they'd be good? Well, they brought in Adams. I mean, they scored zero point. last weekend. They made the point on good morning football, which we have on sometimes for the show. And it's like, this ain't a young team. This is a team that's been trading picks to bring in guys in their prime or on the decline. They've paid their best players. You're in that division? Carr, hundreds of millions. What's up with your chargers? Three and a half point favorites.

Coming off the by. Coming off the buy. Their left tackles hurt. Their best pass rushers hurt. Herbert, let's hope those ribs are better. Keenan Allen's hardly played. It's classic chargers. They just are hurt. And then if they've got to win, they'll find a way to screw it up. Anaheim Angels of football. Times. Who do we give some love to Hope Street? We went on Wednesday because we didn't think

Askeret was going to be on Thursday. I think we're going to have to for next week. We're going to have to do things a little bit differently for Askrette. We need to have some high level meetings and figure some things out. Not getting quite the amount of responses that I'm having. with. Ret was coming at me. He's like, these questions suck. And I don't know it was a Tuesday. We're asking for questions. People are the Wednesday rhythm. We threw it off. Yeah. So you can send in your questions or comments for Rhett. Hashtag

Ask Ret. We'll find them on social. Or you can email the show. Askrette at Flamesnation.ca. So Hope Street matches good people with good homes. We're trying to match good questions with Ask Red. That's the challenge here. So I need you to get outside of how do you cook a brisket? Let's have some fun here. Let's come on now. It's a lot of brisket questions. Look at that fountain and knowledge sitting there next to that olive tree, staring out into beautiful Buffalo, New York.

Anything you want to know is all yours in Ask Red. It's sunburn weather here. You go sit outside for a while. You're going to get the crisp little red face. Oh, yeah. It's hot. Is there anybody riding around on a lawnmower right now? Or is it all quiet in the neighborhood?

It's nice and quiet today. No one's harassing me. No, didn't get a coffee delivered, which is BS, but, yeah, well,

you paraded her for the wrong size a couple days ago. Cut off. I loved this one. You guys will appreciate this. I love to talk about my personal life on the radio. So I'm sniffly yesterday, so I wake up and I have a,

there's a message on my phone. I'm going to go shopping with a friend. Whatever, right? Big deal. So where do you think the shopping took place? L-a-M-O Toronto. What?

That's great. Is this a Vander Kaine flying back to Toronto? A helicopter just to run a couple errands? Gone all day. I'm like, what are the kids got? What was it? And then her grandma stopped buying. That's the other where I find out.

Well, I think she's in Toronto. I'm like, what? Toronto? Exchange her, okay? Yeah. It's like the teeth. Yeah. It was like the teeth thing.

She wanted some fancy teeth thing done, blah, blah, blah. I got to go to the dentist today, oh? Or I got a dental appointment tomorrow. Okay. Yeah. I wake up. It's four in the morning. What are you doing?

Well, it's in Scottsdale. What? Excuse me? Yes. You talk about. living a fantasy cat. That's great. The shovelers living in fantasy camp. My Scottsdale.

What? The dental appointment in Scottsdale is very good. That's good stuff. Rhett, Rhett, maybe we all have to get our molars looked at in Vegas. Now, in fairness, it's the same weekend. Let's go. I was going to say, didn't you fly to Texas or Arizona for a steak? It's not a lot different. Come on.

What's the story? You did. Don't clam up on. us here let's go I don't remember that at all you went to Mastro's for a stake was the only reason you went on that trip well it's part of the reason I had a great time that trip that was awesome was that is that Arizona that was Arizona yes that was that the same trip the dub that was that the same trip and yeah that was the same the same trip where In Glendale where the rink is, there's the Renaissance hotel basically in the parking lot.

You walk to it. So that's where all the teams, all the media stay. NFL stadium, hockey rink, big, nice hotel for everyone to use the facilities. They have their little thing. So you don't stay in the dumps in Glendale. So Red is part of the TV crew and he's going down to do his scintillating intermission and pregame analysis and decides his place is a dump. I'm going to go into Scottsdale and stay at the I don't even know if I saw the place

I well I do know if I didn't see the place because the car right to the W the you don't need to shop around there's one position A in all of Greater Phoenix and it's the W and Scottsdale so two things one doesn't use the room that's been paid for yeah two stays at the W takes it submits it as an expense what's that 45 minutes to get there from Glendale

submits a second hotel receipt for the same night as it expects. No, no, I didn't want that one. I'm staying here. Well, I didn't stay there. Don't book. How was the steak?

Sheister. It was so good. Chef's cut. He sent me a photo. And then there was the Dallas no show. That followed. Once you're at the W, you're posted up. You can't get better than the W.

Was I supposed to go to Dallas after that? Well, I wrote the team did. I remember you were supposed to be in in Dallas and you were doing our show in Calgary and then you didn't do any more TV. Was that old Roger Millions days or was it Kerr? Who was it back then? That was Raj back then. You left Rajh high and dry. Come on, Rhett.

It was a poor operation. I was off. You know, at that time. That's janky. Yeah. I try to get things. I'm trying to think of the equivalent of like, leaving Glendale to go to the W?

Like, how do you put that in terms to people that understand? It would be like, oh, you're coming through Calgary to play the flames. We've got your hotel downtown. Like, no, no, no. I just booked myself in at the Chateau Lake Louise. Like, isn't that it? That's the closest thing I can think of. Yeah.

Literally, if you have a place across the street from where you needed to be. Yeah, like this out. It couldn't be more convenient. If you're working, yeah. And then you book another room 40 minutes away. It was for two nights. We were there for a couple days. I didn't hang out in Glendale for a couple days.

And how was the W? The W was amazing. It was the best place on Earth themselves. And then I ran into the bomber at the rink in Scottsdale. And then we went back to the W and had drinks. It was awesome. Was the bomber at your birthday? The bomber was at the birthday.

Yeah. the bomber goes hard. Bomber nails it. Friends aren't afraid. I think the bomber was in my limo. And bomber doesn't need mix. Straight. Not interested.

It's just filler. What do you give me that for? What are we here to do? Let's get the brass tacks. Mix. That out of here. What are you doing for the big weekend here? We've got a game tomorrow nights.

We've got a couple of kid hockey items and like nothing today. Nothing at all. Friday. Wow. Ping pong, maybe family movie. Happy out. We're watching Indianapolis Jones movies and watching back to the future. Well, why is these kids up?

Indianapolis Jones. Okay. How about you, retro? What's your family caravan plan? We also have nothing today, which is odd. We considered going to a high school football game. Because apparently they're a big deal down here. Maybe not as big as Texas, but still big deals.

And then hockey, hockey, hockey. Yeah. I got to go to Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philly, Rochester. Hartford, Pittsburgh. Montreal. I know I'm biased, but I don't care. Scary. I have a goalie in my house.

No. Yeah. My daughter decided. Did you see this coming? No. Zero. Not good news typically. If, if you are a parent and Princey, you have,

young kids and you have young kids. So you'll, you'll get there that no one wants their kid to be a goalie. You have to buy the gear. It's stressful. Once they get older, they play half of the games because you're in a rotation. So you're, you're going to games to not watch your kid play. It stinks. So what you do then is if you're one of the other parents and you're at the age where they rotate goalies through, if one kid looks good. Oh, oh, you guys looks like you got a goalie there. Oh, hey, ho. And then the kid comes up, hey, buddy, good for you.

It's so good in there. Man, that some gloves saves. Whoa. Boy, it's your happy place that crease, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Have you seen these, boy, the mask with the paint on it? You see how cool it is? So you try and fire up the kid to want to be goalie.

And you convince the parents. So then your kid doesn't have to be goalie. That has happened with my daughter. Sounds like she's pretty good. That's what all the other parents are saying. You have to declare if you're going to be the goal. I think I told you this the other day. You have to declare.

So yesterday we went to this. It was why I didn't get to get to, you had to go to this. Ringet goalie camp. And in fairness, she, I mean, she loves it. And what do you say? Like, no? Thoughts and prayers.

That's what we say to you. Dad, I want to declare. I want, she knows the vernacular. I want to declare dad. So I got a goalie in ringette. Didn't know what was. such a thing. Sorry, dude. We're here for you.

Ringette. So that's my weekend. You know who gets the hall of the big better job? A bag of gear right now. I know, right? It's been a, dude, it's been a tough week. We've got dogs shitting on the carpet. I'm going to ring at goalie camps. Liquid shit.

Liquid shit. That has been making the rounds too. I'm sure a lot of parents of my 14 year old boy are happy with that clip in their email inboxes. Um, what do we want to, should we do a total for South Street with the swear jar? Oh, man. Because you had kind of, Princey, you'd kind of been keeping a rough, a rough tally. It's got on his toes today.

Yeah, but Princey, did you sleep last night? You look exhausted, man. He looks like shit. Well, he's been commuting three hours each way in the shitty weather. I never sleep, boys. I got two kids at home. I got 19 podcasts to produce every single week. There's no such thing.

See them good? And you live in blackfolds. I live in red deer pretty much. Give me a second here. So we have Mr. Pinder did a total of, are we going to do the whole tally? Do you want any individual words? I think we should get up to give us something.

Yeah, just give us a number. Okay, okay. Because we've been doing this. This is the end of the third or fourth, what, fourth week that we've been doing this. Oh man. Three weeks with South Street. Yeah. Boomer can add them all quick in his head.

Well, I got, I got Pinder dropped 16 in total this whole week. 16 this week. 16. That's high watermark. for me we've got red let's see here let's leuch each on the second line no kidding red red red's a little light i think we all we all know that red only did six six the whole week that's not that are we talking f bombs or just it's f bombs and shit and ass careful anyway ding ding ding now boomer might be the big one here i mean the the story about the dog

that that drop and then we had darrell talking about hubert o two that drop quite a bit so I don't know why I am responsible for Daryl saying that Huberto had to go and my kid talking about his dog. Well, you definitely are responsible for your kid and your dog. You're not responsible for my dog. Boom, boom put up a big two four, 24. Oh, geez. So 24 for boom, 16 for Pinder, I believe it was. And then six for red.

We are over the $300 mark. It's for the kids, Dean. Get Brian on the phone. It's for the fucking kids. Jeez. All right. 17. Everybody have a fine weekend.

We got a big week coming. The Wolverines coming back in town. We got a lot of things going. Get to get on the road, boys. Get out of the road. Get the flames out of town. Get the hell out of here. Get a win.

And we'll be back next week. So have a great weekend. Thanks for being a part of Barnburner. Oilers Nation not on today. They're in mourning. Just kidding. Oilers Nation. every day coming up next. There you go. See you
