See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're ready. Very ready for a program today. So ready. So ready for this show. Here on, it feels like a Thursday. I'm going to go with a Thursday. I looked at it. It is Thursday. Game day for the Calgary Flames as they kick off a, what, six-game road trip? Six-game roadie in Tampa. Is it really Tampa Bay? Is it? No, Tampa's the city. Right. The Bay is the body of water. All right. So it's Tampa. If you say Tampa Bay, you're literally talking about a body of water. So why isn't it just the Tampa Lightning? It should be. It's the same thing with the Tampa Bay Rays. The rays live in the bay.

At least that makes sense. The lightning only hit the water. They don't eat hay. It doesn't grow there. We are here on the Flames game day. Get your helmet on. As feels both teams coming in tonight, they've each one two in a row. Wow.

Two in a row. Feel like they're really rolling. Heaters. So they get going into this one tonight. There's Rhett Warner sitting at his table. Now, there's still light coming in from the window. I was going to say, because we've had some snowy, in clement weather here in Calgary and Red has spun his computer to give us the Luxey out his window at the grass and people still manicuring their yards. You guys mowing lawns the other day.

Can we have a looksy today? Can you give us a little flipparoo there on your, on your computer? Let's see if this matches up with the nerds on the right. Because we are told that it is absolute chaos in Buffalo. It's green grass. What a rip-off. I can tell you an hour ago, it was, you know, those big, puffy white clouds and blue skies. Like the wind has picked up slightly.

The south towns, apparently the south towns, that would be the towns between Buffalo and Erie, are feeling the effects of some lake effects snow. The highways and throughways will be closed. at 7 o'clock tonight, aside from essential traffic. And school, public schools are canceled tomorrow. Wow. The preparation is definitely on for a big, big hit of snow. So get this, you can net the bills when there's a big snow dump.

Yep. All of us, we could sign up. Yep. To go work for the bills that day. Shovel the stadium. You get like 20, yeah, 20 bucks. hour, you get fed, and you get to watch the game. What are we talking about? I mean, boom nearly put out his back shoveling for eight minutes, so I don't know about per hour and food.

20 bucks an hour. I thought you were a fit guy. What kind of money have they got in Buffalo to be firing out 20s every hour to these sweat pant wearing Lugans to just shovel the stadium? Yeah, what is it? Some sort of like $4 billion enterprise or something? How can they afford that? Goodness. I was thinking about it, though. I went into a... We've read the forecast. There's supposed to be a huge amount of snow coming.

Yeah. How do you remove, let's say, four and a half feet of snow from every seat in an entire... Like, where does that snow go? It just goes. Because where, though? They move it. So you have to start at the top and keep pushing down.

I hire. And then it's like, well, where does it go? You just move it. Then there's now like a castle in the middle? A big... It's funny pinder, because I left the gym today. and I'm like, okay, snow. It's going to snow.

It'll be a big snow day. And in the parking lot, there was a massive front end loader just ready to run. It's like every parking lot, every two blocks, there's a massive tractor just ready to go. Gas is full.

Let's go. You could just hear the roar of diesel engines idling everywhere. Just wait and just dollar signs in their eyes. Got like six T's, thermoses, Chili. I was going to tweet out a picture of it and then all of the plows on the front of the trucks today.

I was going to start how many plows I could find on trucks today. Can we get a plow on mine? They are truly saying that this is not of epic proportions, but this has some historic relevance as to how bad this storm may well be in Buffalo. That last graphic, if we read it, it could go down as one of the greatest snowstorms in like modern American history. Yeah. The most extreme. They had one not that long ago.

So what happens, folks, for you people that aren't. The Redster is going to learn you up a little here. So folks, have a seat. I hope you have pen and paper. Fire away the Redster. Photosynthesis and stuff like that. So what happens is that you got the warm water from the lake, right? That big Lake Erie and Ontario and all those great lakes.

Yeah. And then it's still warm water because it was just summer. And the water is still warm. So when the cold air comes across that and then hits the land, it pulls, because heat rises, right, Dean? So that hot moisture rises up and then condenses into particles the drop and just blast you with lake effects, snow. Some of that, I think, even makes sense. I could barely keep up. If you could use more layman terms for us idiots, that'd be good.

It's going to snow. Can we go next? Yeah, it's going to snow. But let's bring back the Adam Schaefter. He had a tweet this morning, and it was on there. Forecasts calling for snow totals of three to six feet by Sunday in Buffalo. Thunder snow? Including possible thunder snow.

The fuck is Thunder snow. He's making shit up. Thunder snow. The last time snow forced NFL to move a game out of Buffalo was 2014. Jets and Bills played that Monday night in Detroit. NFL monitoring the storm talking to both the bills and the Browns. I just bought tickets for this effing game. Like, I'm going.

Going to Detroit. Adam Schaefter can beat it. All right. Unless he's wearing the old Kirk Cousin chains at no top. Unreal. How excited is the shoveler, though? Oh, seriously. Ecstatic.

It's a birthday tomorrow. Really? Get a fresh dump of snow. Oh, it's going to be really something. So you used to talk about the storms and the snow in Buffalo when you were here. You've now moved back, you're going to go through it again. But we were always painting these images in our heads of, you open the door and it's a wall of snow.

You don't see outside. You see all the snow that's piled up against your door. Like, are you just ready to batten down the hatches and not leave for a few days here? Yep, there is that possibility. Now, where we are isn't as bad. Because you're further from the lake, I'm guessing. We're further off the lake and we're north. Okay.

And so it comes through. kind of from the city of Buffalo and down is where the big snow orchard park, where the stadium is in that sort of area. So they're the ones that get blasted with to the point where when you're buying a house in the area, you take that into consideration. Like if you have a I have to be in Buffalo everyday job, like you have to, you can't miss like this is life and death stuff, you probably can't live in orchard park. So it's like floodplain here.

Something like that. You just factor it into your, are we in or we host? Yeah. So you have to consider it. So I guess a question also, if you get all this snow, will you still be a snow angel like you were in Calgary? Ooh. You don't have to be here.

Everyone pays to have this crap removed. Honestly, there's no. So wealthy. Nobody pisses around the snow. The football stadium. No one has to shovel. God. USA.

The Pugas. Am I right? In that city with gold lurks. Yeah. Look at, look at the size of the driveways. Like, I don't know if you can see it. Well, you got your curtains closed. They don't mess around.

They don't have little eight by eights driveways. That's a driveway? So nobody's, yeah. I thought that was a street. No, that's a drive. There's a house at the end of the lane. How about that? Wow.

Well, I just hope everything's all right, Rhett. We're worried about you. It'll be fine. I got, I got some Israeli feta. And it's delicious. I got some, uh, I got some cold cuts. Kind of a combo here. Oh, wow, look at that.

It's a mini charcuttery. That's a shark utery. I got a cranberry white cheddar. Cranberry. This is some blatant product placement. Shouldn't be allowed, Alex. And honestly, I bought some pastures of Eden, crumbled feta right out of Israel, right out of Israel.

That's where Eden is, I guess, eh? Sell Street Burger, over 30 different free toppings to choose from. Not sure about the Israeli cheddar feda. Crumble feta? Not sure. Not sure. But go and check it out there. Cheddar fetter. What the hell you're talking? Seven South Street Burger locations across Calgary, south streetburger.com for those locations. And this Sunday, every Sunday afternoon through the month of November, 1245 PM, free skates at Optimist Arena. They have giveaways, some prizes, money being raised for kids sport Calgary. Good folks at South Street Burger doing good things. You got, are you a doomsday or right? You got like a

basement room with all the food to keep you alive for a week. It's got batteries. I had dooms there. Dude, look at this. See those silver things there? Yeah. I could, those are water purification tanks.

Oh, yeah. I could go and I could take water out of the sewer system and drink it. It purifies it. It's delicious. Yeah. I'm ready. Franks are Valley. What are they?

What do they? Are NHL insider. He has to be so much smarter right now, having heard all of this between crumbled feta, Oh, no, he's not here today. Oh, Frank, we're sorry. The snow, the forecasts and everything. Drinking out of the sewer. Frank, you're welcome.

Because the knowledge you've gained in the last 10 minutes is more than you'll get the rest of the year. I'm not kidding. I actually heard this exact same lesson from my son yesterday. He's in third grade, and they had a weather class. And he literally, like, we were in the car yesterday. He was telling me all the same stuff. It was amazing.

There you go. See? The GMs better sharp than their pencils. If we're getting this kind of intel from a grade three year and rat, I mean, the GMs must be just putting you to sleep. Like, step your game up,

guys. Look, if they get six feet of snow, how's Jeff Skinner going to ever get to the game? He can't even get out of his house. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.

They might not be able to play. They got a game Saturday night, right? It's going to be tough. I was in Buffalo when we had games canceled. Jersey was in town that we, they canceled the game. People were snowmobiling.

down the streets is that when you were out with jo juno nothing worse than when you are a reporter and you travel to the city and then you get there and then the game gets gonged and you're like what am i doing yeah there's nothing to do everything's closed you're going for wings frank if it's open come on you know what you do it yeah it was a puddle on chippewa street is exactly what i was okay where do you want a snowmobile warner i had a snowmobile i couldn't get on it because stupid curtis Brown left it at his buddy's house. Foot Hills Dummy.

Curtis Brown. See, I keep confusing the Joe Juno motorcycle sidecar story with the snowmobile story because I knew that There's a lot there, yeah. So Joe Juno didn't have a snowmobile. You weren't riding around with him on the snow machine. No, no, Joe Juno. We were here

in a spring, Joe and I headed to the Stanley Cup finals. It wasn't snowing when Joe and I were cruising around in his heart. You in the side car. Amazing. Yes, absolutely. Side car.

Joe Juno telling me about this stuff. I don't know, Frank. Do you know Joe Juno at all? Obviously, you know of them, but. So this guy is world-class smart, like wicked, built his own airplane from scratch smart. Goes up into the northern parts of Canada. Yeah. Helps people.

It's been working with, like off-the-charts smart. And clearly it. I was going to say. I was going to say clearly. What would you guys talk about? We got traded to Buffalo in 99 at the same time. And we lived in the hotel. And he had a Harley that he built.

And it had a sidecar. And that was I got through. I was Joe's sidekick. How big is the sidecar if you can fit in it with those ape arms you've got? What's the center of hell is going on? Like what is. It got annoying because he loved. he would just go cruise he'd like let's go for a little ride and i'm like yeah okay i'm in buffalo

and what am i not doing anything sitting in the hotel i hate to do this i'm questioning everything you're saying like you said how smart he is and then you said that he rides a motorcycle like let's like what he's no no one's smart drives a motorcycle no one he's absolutely too smart man too smart i just like the record i saw something about you yes hey i i saw something about frank yesterday. Did you guys all see it? I think we saw something. I'm not on the social.

I think I've probably seen it. Yeah. I think I know you're referring to. Yeah. What was it about? What was it? Drop it. No, I'd hit it.

Crosby? Yeah, it's Crosby for sure. Yeah, see, you know what? Somebody sent me or tweeted something out about Frank and Crosby. Yeah. I didn't understand, but. Tell the tape. You're younger.

Your younger than Sid? Yes, I am. In fact, by a whole solid 10 months. Oh, so it's close anyway. I thought they were saying it was years. It's still pretty embarrassing, though. I'll be honest. I mean, the hair is one thing,

like you can't really do anything about that, but I love it. The silver, I certainly could do something about there is, you can't do it. No, you can't do anything about it right now. You got bloody Thanksgiving next week and then the Christmas, you can, that's January.

Yeah. January, Frank. New Year, 2023 is you, buddy. Jan 1, Jim Pass. You know what I've learned, too? And I just came to this recognition this week on the trip in Toronto. I don't really drink when I'm at home, but when I go on the road, I am like a full-fledged alcoholic. I cannot get enough.

You're like Warner on the road. That's amazing. But I could go six weeks at my house without having a single drink. Like, you know, I'll go out with my buddies. or I'll do, but when I'm in my house, I don't, like, I've got a full stock bar. I do not drink when I'm known. See, I can't stand my kids and I drink all the time. More life lessons.

Like, if I'm not high or wasted, I can't, I can't be at home. Boomer's face. Oh, my God. The thing is, he's not lying. Like, nice kid. It's like, oh, that's red. He's so funny. No, he's, that's the truth.

No, but it is funny. And it's true. It's funny because it's true. Yeah. with the time change, there's two hours ahead by the time we're done this thing, he's right into the liquor.

Right, with the snow coming, nowhere to go, you can't go anywhere. Look how, did you stock up? He's got tickets for this damn game. Did you stock up the liquor cabinet? I'm going to the game.

There'll be a game. Listen, these guys down here, the football game? No chance. I would bet my house that's not played. Okay, we need a bat. We need a bat.

Hang on, whoa, whoa. We need a Warner. Sarvelli bat. I'll bet Frank a bottle of whatever whiskey he's always drinking on the road I'll buy I'll pay for his next road whiskey shots on the show next week there we go how about this I just got in a new bottle of weller I'm a weeded bourbon guy and I got a six pack I will send you one if this game is played this weekend in Buffalo so the tickets I just bought you're thinking so have you looked at the forecast snow's stopping on saturday do you want to better not red it's more feet of snow not inches not centimeters these feet spread we had six feet in one afternoon here once like this is nothing this is spread out of over like 36 to 48 hours we got all kinds of time to clear this crap they might not even be able to get the plane in where are you going to land

we win then you know what's going to happen he's going to go to orchard park and there's going to be some Lugans run around like no I went to the football game I win the bet and like didn't you hear that they're hiring I told you guys

they're hiring people to clear this they'll be fine the fans in Buffalo they'll be out with their shovels they'll clear everything just to get or on started look at that We got the photo. Alien invasion.

I don't know what it means, but it doesn't look good. It's some weather map and it's just red. That's the radar, Dean. Just red hot. Wait, look at that radar. It's not even red. It's like white and purple. Like it's beyond the pink.

Yes, it's on the scale. This is way off on the right hand side. That purple's trouble. That mauve. You're in trouble, Rhett. So did you learn anything at these GM meetings? They had the GM meetings and, of course, Hall of Fame and you were away this week. But what are they talking about?

He said not really. I appreciate that honesty. I really do. Honestly, the GMs, they all came out there like, oh, what do you guys want us to say? Like literally nothing, like, nothing happened. And they're like, I guess you guys are making it up like usual again. And that's really kind. Like, I didn't, I didn't have anything to combat that because I'm like, yeah, that's like,

they really did not talk about a lot. They talked about penalty shots and should we direct officials if the play is close to call a penalty. or a penalty shot? What would you guys like? And then it was like, hey, let's review a few of these offside challenges that have happened. How could we tweak potentially the coach's challenge? They talked about cut resistant clothing for players to wear under their gear. Nothing really earth shattering. And they kind of had a few straw polls based on some video clips that were shown to the GMs about different sequences and plays and penalties. But other than that, there certainly were no contemplated rule changes or anything like that. Where I'm interested,

in is this is the only meeting that GMs have all year where they all get in the same place and have the ability to make trades aside from the draft. Their meeting in March happens after trade deadline already happened. So in this case, to see some of those conversations that might pick up and percolate from there is where my interest is peaked. Anything hotter than the center of the universe, everyone's favorite team, Toronto Maple Leafs, down to top four defensemen in terms of priorities and conversations? Well, probably not, but in the sense that there's a lot of urgency attached to it, I would say there isn't, because they're interested in the short term

in giving a lot more runway to Rasmus Sandine and Timothy Lildegroen, which Kyle Dubus already acknowledged. And, you know, I think they have an opportunity here to really jump the market. Like, there's a number of players out there, and I had a list of six of them on daily faceoff.com yesterday. just going through the process and what's interesting and when you're looking at it is that we know the preference for toronto is to not trade for a rental they've been burned in the past i think they'd like to avoid it if they can but when you go through the teams and especially ones that

may be interested in in selling off a few pieces when it's all said and done on march third there's very few defensemen with term that are actually available or will be available and And that's a tough spot for the Leafs to be. And they may have to change their approach in terms of how they fill Jake Muzins' hole on the blue line. And we had Craig Conroy here yesterday, and he was talking about how good the crop of prospects seem to be for this upcoming draft. Teams probably are going to be loathe to give up these picks.

That's not going to add to the trade to flurry. No, I mean, I think that certainly hurts unless you're talking 2024, 2025. but even apparently 2024 is above average as well. So I think teams are like, well, like you'd have to have some serious lottery protection with this one draft in particular that, you know, you're not really interested in trading those picks, which is why you saw last year we had more teams trading for 2023 than 2022. New Jersey.

As, as Hughes would tell you, we're kind of on a heater here. Is it now 10? It's 10 in a row. And we had the, as far as Flames fans, saw them here, saw them there in the span of a few days. They look just fine. And I just wonder, is this, is this a team that's just feeling it right now? And they're not going to be at this kind of a clip. But they seem like they've got to be in at the very least kind of a wild card consideration.

I would not necessarily have had them in that conversation at the start of the year before we saw. any games, but it seems like they seems like they've got something going there. Do they have the goal tending? Do they have the all-around game to get this to get themselves in or at least right close to a wild card? Well, the flames do account for two of

those 10, as you pointed out. I would say they are a stone cold, mortal lock to make the playoffs this year. And I'll throw the stat at you. They are the 61st team in NHL history to have a 10-game winning streak in the regular season. Fifty-eight out of the previous 60 all made the playoffs. So 97% have made the

playoffs with a 10-game winning streak in the season. So they're a playoff team. My question is, are they more than that? Do we need to begin to think about this team a little bit differently? I would say, no, it's too early. You're dealing with recency bias. You're dealing with a lot of things coming together, maybe probably even winning a couple of games in that streak that you'd probably shouldn't have. You've gotten maybe above expectation, goal tending. But what I'll tell you is they're underlying numbers, their efficiency with which they move the puck. They're young stars on offense that continue to score. They're actually really well positioned, not just now for the next number of years, to be a really solid team. And I think we should point out, too, with all fairness to Tom

Fitzgerald, that they made some really good moves this summer. John Marino is one, Vtec Vecchek is another. A lot hasn't been healthy either. That he'll help. Pilots out for a while, yeah. So, like, he's out. I think he probably wants a little bit of a do-over on just a one-year deal with Esper Brat, but they have time to work that out.

And Dougie Hamilton, for as much as we kind of forgot about him last season with a tough year, that guy's been really good again. And maybe he's settled in and feels a lot better. with, you know, maybe take some of that off of the first year where there's so many expectations after signing a huge ticket. The other thing I think helps them is I think that division's kind of in transition. Like we're probably thinking that Washington's on the decline. Pittsburgh's on the decline. The Islanders went to the Eastern Conference Final two years in a row. Maybe they're back in the playoffs, but they're not going to do that again, we don't think.

Rangers have been just okay. And I think Carolina is really good, but they've lost their number one goalie. It feels kind of like that division's a good one to be. And if you're a team that can reel off 10 in a row, like why not the devil's in the metro for now, at least one, two with Carolina? Yeah, I think what we're seeing play out in real time now is probably what a lot of people envisioned to ultimately happen in the Atlantic with some of those younger teams that are on the rise that are dealing with some other contenders that have been there kind of for a while in Boston and now Toronto and Toronto's probably not going anywhere, but Florida's been in that spot. Yeah, and Tampa, like Tampa at some point, not in the current, you know, short term future,

but at some point in the next five years is down to have, is due to have a down swing. You're seeing the devil's rise at a time that you could see the caps and the penguins both, both missed the playoffs. The caps last missed in 2014. And the pens have been on this 16, 17 year run since 2000. and six. It's been a long, long time. And both those teams could miss. So perfect time for New Jersey to hit it. Also still a long way to go because I'd imagine at some point, you know, kind of even looking at the Pacific, you know, everyone was talking, hey, are they cracking a playoff team now? And I'm

like, easy. Let's let's pee the B. Let's pump the brakes there because they're in a spot where Edmonton and Calgary, cream's going to rise to the top of that division. How are you for time? What do you got? I know you got your steady schedule. Just it's nonstop. I got 25 minutes left to give you. Not that I'll give you all. Don't need all that.

Don't need all that. Christ, that's too much. Calm down. Vegas, it feels like in this division out here with the Pacific, they're just gone. They've left the pack.

They've played, they play 17 games. They're 13 and 4. It feels like they are not going to be caught. Just forget about it. It's now up to who's finishing second and third. And with Logan Thompson, no less.

With Logan Thompson. Yeah, I was very curious. The goaltending, is it going to be enough? He's been better than advertised, and it just doesn't seem like, what, they got, what are they got 60 some games now until hockey matters again for the Vegas Golden Knights? Probably a little premature. I mean, look, L.A. is only a couple points back, right? L.A. and L.A. has played pretty well.

I picked L.A. to win the division when it all started. Really? But we'll see how it shakes out. I mean, the golden nights have been near perfect, pretty flawless. And it's not just in how much they've scored. It's also how well they've defended. I think they have the best goal differential in the league, if I'm not mistaken. Plus 19.

Right near the top. So, yeah, I mean, that's a pretty good indicator of where they've been at. The only Boston and New Jersey are like what we've seen from, yeah, like what we've seen from Vegas. but Calgary, I mean, they've got a lot to give and injuries notwithstanding. And Edmonton, same thing. Like, I, this is a really long season, as Rhett will tell you. And one of my favorite parts about doing this hit is like at some varying point, whenever we're talking to you guys,

Rhett kind of like disappears and then reappears. And I'm wondering, is he sitting there the whole time or is he like, what is he doing? We also wonder. It's not just you. Yeah, see now he's talking and his mic isn't on. Does it know? Because no one's expecting him to say anything.

Yeah, there he is. Yeah. Well, I was actually going to jump in and say, I've already, I've already thrown in the towel on the flames. They're done for it. Yeah, you missed that last week. They're sunk. So explain it to tell Frank, you're, uh, I'll forget my point because they won two in a row. So it was, well, I think Rhett was probably saying they weren't playing.

Well, it was a little. mature to hand out those extensions when they did for for weager and for huberto and you know i think it's probably a valid point in a vacuum but coming off the heels of the godrow thing i don't think the team or the market was going to be comfy with oh we'll just bring in some pending ufas if you can sign the guys sign them but i think we also know that especially the huberto one like that's not going to age well but you've got a window we think well i think their window is like until jacob markstrom's contract is up right as it's currently constituted and that's you know with markstrom you know struggling a bit at times this year and certainly number wise to start i i'm with you in in that

at some point there there will be a pain factor with those contracts it's it's not right now and it's not even in the foreseeable future i don't think um but given where they were at you There's no chance you could have entered this season with both those guys or even one of those guys unsigned. Can you imagine the talking point? It would have been all season long. When are they moving this guy? Because there's no chance you could go through it again and use the guys and own rental. And see, Red.

And Reuters. And Redd. And that's where the bravery of being a GM comes in, that you have to block that out and just have to block that out and just have your conviction and not think of those outside forces. Is that fair? It is fair. And I believe in that. And I think guys like Stevie Y have stood by their guns and had positive outcomes and situations where everyone was like, oh, man, he's going to get a stankoos sewered on this deal.

Sackick, same thing. No, he's screwing things up in Colorado. It's not going to work out. Well, even before that, what was he dealing with? Dushain. Everyone thought he lost the deal before he made it. D'Shea. D'Shain.

Yeah. So there are. situations where there's too many deals that are made just because Brent Seabrook you can justify Brent Seabrook's deal because they won three cups he did what he did for the city but a brave GM would have said thank you Brent you are one hell of a black clock car off you go someone else take this contract I'll take some in return. That is the sure if it doesn't work out and you don't bring in the right picks, but it's no worse than overpaying for a guy you know isn't going to live up to the contract.

At the end of the day, that contract or a bad pick is going to cost you your job. Well, that's exactly what the Canucks ran into with J.T. Miller. And I think they're already feeling the pain of it. Not only has J.T. Miller probably hit that contract in a year where he's never going to duplicate again, 99 points. I doubt he gets to that ceiling again. But he's also probably a winger and not a center. And they then didn't resign Faux Horvatt.

And given that J.T. Miller is not the most popular guy in that locker. It was basically like throwing a grenade in there. And you've seen the wheels fall off with that team since when the harder decision would have been, to your point, Rhett, to say, hey, we're going to, we're trying. trading J.T. Miller, you know, last year as they weren't making the playoffs. Hey, we're trading him at the deadline and we're going to get a haul for him from some of these teams that really like him. And I do think there's a ton of validity in what you're saying about teams are so deathly afraid to lose good players saying, how could we ever recover? Our teams

never going to be as good again. Well, it's worse to go down this path where you're in a spot where you now, the Cucks couldn't even move J.T. Miller today if they wanted to, with the term on that deal. But I disagree in that I don't think this was an apples to apples comparison with Calgary because clearly they were acquiring two players that they really liked. And a lot of people view McKenzie Weeger as an upper echelon defenseman who's going to be on the next team Canada Olympic team. And, you know, a guy that is going to help transform this team's back end when everyone's

healthy. And they view Huberto as an equal to Johnny Goddrow. So when you work through all that, I can understand why they signed them. And I don't think that this is anything close to saying like, oh, well, we should just let them walk. They ended up getting the deals that they were probably going to get on the market. And Calgary, given that they needed to put a stake in the ground, you know, we want guys that are going to play in our market. They had to get those deals done. They overpaid to get those guys.

I think Hubertos and overpay. I'm willing to wait and see on. Weiger because I don't think he's looked like himself yet. He certainly doesn't look like what he was sold at. But what I was just trying to picking up on was if they went to market, we all know if guys go to market, they get overpaid. So if you paid what they were going to get in the open market, that's just admitting that you've overpaid, which is fine.

I'm not, it doesn't have to be the end of the world, but it's overpaying. There's a, I mean, Kachuk is a hell. of a player and but a lot of people say well how did you get so much in return for like when you're in that situation it's because who knows weger and huberto more than the florida panthers it's this whenever a good player moves you have to raise your eyebrow and go wait a minute now kachuk moved because he wanted to move those the other guys didn't want to move and there's a The the Panthers were willing to go, you know what? Yeah, Uighur's good, but is he, what did he get paid?

This is he $8 million? I don't know, $6.7.5 somewhere in there. Yeah. He's getting paid a lot of money. Is he really a number, a top two? I think he's a two. And is he a top two around the league. I think he is.

And I also think you have to look at it, Rhett, in the scheme of what the market is going to look like in these next number of years once we exit this artificial frozen flat cap world yeah six and a half six seven five is going to be a very reasonable number for a number two on on any team yeah six and a quarter by the way my fault it's not a number two i think he is he hasn't looked at yet though i'll agree he hasn't looked like yet yeah i don't know how you could possibly make that assessment after 15 games i just don't where and and with multiple uh partners because tannes missed a bunch like he also played not with TANF when TANF has been healthy. I'm willing to give him more rope, but to,

I agree, he hasn't looked like a two yet, but I think a lot of the data and the people that watched him a ton are like, yes, he's a two. He's not going to run your power play. He's not a one, but he's absolutely a two. Hasn't looked at yet. Prove it. Yeah, well, and that's, and that's a frank thing.

You got to wait. You sure as how it wouldn't be paying him six in a quarter after his first 15 games in Calgary. No doubt. No doubt. Good stuff, Frank. Now, you're going to send Warner some bourbon. Is that what it, some whiskey if this game... What's a six pack of bourbon anyway?

I heard you say six pack. What's going on here? Is that a box of booze? I bought a half, a half case. When you can get your hands on some weller, it is, it's made in the same factory as Pappy Van Winkle. It's, I don't drink the cheap stuff. So I will send you a quality.

bottle of bourbon if there is no Bill's game in Buffalo this weekend. And Rhett, what do you got going the other way? If there is a game, yeah. Wait, I know what I'll, wait, wait, wait, fall into your chair. Take me off camera for a second. Okay. Frank, we're eating up all these 25

minutes. Take me off camera. Oh, good. It's a bit of a treat here. What is it? What is he's going to come back with one of those water. It's a bottle of something. And like, look, you can save your family. Look, you can drink sewer water. We're good. Thanks, Red. There it is. Oh, there it is. Oh, it's the Flutie Flakes part two. Josh's, Josh's,

Jags, is that what it is? Jacks, Jacks. Josh's Jags and he's got a coffee out here, Frank. It's going to be deadly. I'll send Josh Allen gift basket. Get it signed. Let's go. I don't feel like I'm getting equal value. That's a terrible deal. Yeah, you're getting shaft. If he's a Bill's fan, maybe, right. I don't think that value is high outside of Buffalo, New York. That is shitty return there, Frank. There's no doubt. We're going to grind about it. That's not going to work.

Yeah, I may be keeping this bottle after all. Yeah, no, that's good. It's good. Good to talk to you, Frank. Thanks for the extra time. Have a fine weekend. Thanks, Frank. What happened to your Eagles?

Thanks, guys. Have a good one. Rett, stay safe. See you guys. Yeah, you see it. Frank's Dore Valley, our NHL insider. Always good to catch up. But you know, the one thing we're hearing about more than anything is how different Frank

comes across on this show, then the other hits. Well, and I think if you're playing hardcore journalist reporter insider, that's a very different skill set than hanging on our show talking about farts and shoveling snow and whiskey. I guess that's always kind of been our show over the years, is that people, you know, they're maybe more comfortable, they come out of their shell a little bit. But Frank is that guy, which you would not...

At first glance, you don't know that. He is very funny. He's clever. He loves to, you know, have a few drinks. He is, but you wouldn't get that necessarily on how he portrays himself. Good guy. He doesn't get as annoyed with the other people that he's on with. He looks at me just, oh my God, what's with this guy?

It's good, though. It's good, though. I think he enjoys it. I think a lot of the other stuff is like Rewin Play or Rewin Play. There's no other hits or it's like, oh, I'll just say what I said on the barn burner. Bon Todd Meat Market opened its doors in 1921. All they have done since is provide the highest quality product and treat their customers like family. It's the best of the best.

AAA Alberta beef, your poultry, grain-fed Alberta lamb, you name it, it is top shelf. Once again, Bon Ton voted Calgary Consumer Choice Award winner. Best deli meat market in the city. 28 Crowfoot Circle Northwest,

online bontan meat market.com. And next week, pretty big date on the calendar. We don't have to tell Rhett, and he hasn't even talked about skipping out on school yet, which he's going to at some point. But this would be a good week to check in with Greg

if you've got Americans in your life or you want just an excuse to eat some bird and do another Thanksgiving. So a few things. Weager is not the bontan of the flames. That's guaranteed. Through 15 games, we agree.

Close. Remember the pizza joint? I got the skull pizza things. In Buffalo, yeah. Sent you that picture. Yeah, Macy's, I think. They have a Thanksgiving pizza. Nash potatoes.

gravy, cranberry, drizzle. Apparently, they were all over, like, Good Morning America all across the country last year with this fancy pizza, so I got to try that. And the third thing, the third thing, Turkey is up 73% year over year. Inflation, sort of! Oh, Ray, you should have bought in.

It's American dollars, you know. You didn't invest in Turkey? How much turkey stock deal? You could be way up right now. Big turkey. Big turkey. You know how much talk? You can't even make a nice gravy nowadays.

he can't afford to get turkey bones. There it is. We're using that way more than I thought. It's really good. We're never forcing it either. No, it's always like, yeah, that's not. It's very good. We'll get to, we're going to do Ask Rett.

We've got the Pinder Report. We've got a lot to get to. That's the way bad. You bet. Next chance to win Flames tickets with our friends at Madrose Pub is the 29th, the Florida, although we think we're going to do something a little bit different. That's a big one. It's one of very few home games this month,

and it is the return of Matthew Kachuk. Madrose Pub, Royal Oak, 15 Royal Vista Place. Get their website, check out the menu. Order takeout, madrose.com. It's their pizza, their past, that the burgers are steak. It is a great menu. It is a great spot with all these road games.

Place to be. Also, I heard people saying, hey, you watching any Canada soccer at Mad Rose? I'm going to be up there. So, okay, that's now in here, percolating a little. Thinking about that. I've got to find these venues.

Who's serving booze at 9 a.m. Does that start this weekend? Sunday morning. Cutter, I think, has Ecuador or something like that. And then the real slate of like three or four games a day starts Monday. Canada plays Wednesday at noon. People are really impressed with what's going on over there for that World Cup in that country, eh? It was such a great decision by FIFA.

Take the bribe and move it to a place where it's 50 degrees C in the summer and then move the World Cup to the winner and ruin all the domestic league seasons. brilliant. Let's do the Betway bets of the day. You were very excited yesterday. One of yours hit very early. We went big game hunting, and I described myself as a man that looks like he sleeps in a dumpster, and we hit. So we're out of the dumpster, we're into the penthouse.

Well, Tage Thompson, and Brady Kachukh. And dumpsters. Both scored, plus 400. The Wolverine was... The Wolverine was saying, our guy with Wolverine, he's like, I've got to get these bets that you guys are making. I'm going to betting these. don't we? We're getting a few right.

Mm-hmm. Get a few wrong. Well, and when you're big game hunting, I mean, geez, you get a hit a plus 400. You need to get one out of what, four of those to be okay? Yeah. There are, what, 13 games in the NHL tonight. I don't like doing parlays. You shouldn't like doing parlays, but I'm going to do just to switch it up because there's so many games. You love parley. Don't do a 10-gamer. Maybe one or two things. I'm doing, here it is. I got two bets, a couple parlays.

Regulation wins for Winnipeg over Anaheim in Winni. It's their Hall of Fame thing. Timu, Salani, Teppo Newman, and back. Fired up in Winnipeg. Golden Knights at home over the Coyotes. Jets Golden Knights and Regulation. I like it. Parlay it plus 147. And this one I don't like as much, but I'm just rolled for Boston. They've won nine in a row at home. I like that. New Jersey's on their heater. I have a lost home yet, have they? Boston. No, no, I don't know. Incredible. Yeah. So take Boston. I'm just doing money line here. Boston, New Jersey, keep those rolls going, money line for both of those. Oh, that's a big spot for Jersey. Winning streak's a 10 and Matt Murray hasn't been injured for one game. So we'll see if he can hold up. Toronto's pretty good. I don't, I don't love that one, but for a plus 186, we'll give it a little, give it a little love.

All right. I think we've got my picks up as well. Let's read them off the screen. That's probably the way to go. I'm focusing in on Flames in Tampa Bay. Flames, pretty. much are a lock for 30 shots a night, no sweat, unless they're up by three goals and you bet them to hit 34 shots against the Stinking Kings on Monday. Son of a bitch. Just can't let them. I don't expect them to be up by three in the third on Tampa.

They're averaging 36 shots a game. I'm taking the flames over 31 shots. That pays minus 125, not a ton, but it's got a hit. Come on, baby. And Nick Paul, I don't know if you saw the Tampa Top Six. They've juggled things. He's playing with Stammer and Coulorne. And that's been the hotter line than Point Kutcherov.

and Brandon Hagel. So I'll take a Nick Paul anytime goal at a much bigger number plus 250. Bet way bets of the day. There you go. Betway bets of the day. Bet responsibly. You stayed away from the flames. Hey,

you figured you were cursing them. Yeah, I've not had good luck with the flames bets by and large. So we're going to just change it up. I also looked at Flames anytime power play goal minus 105. How are we feeling about the power player right now? Not good. Yeah.

I stayed away, but I'm like, they're power playing the last nine games. is three for 27. It's about 11%. You say one for nine average, yeah. Not ideal. Not ideal.

What do you see in there, right? Is it just like, first off, I don't know that Rosie belongs there necessarily. And Luch on two, that's another discussion. But it feels like they need a transporter. When Huberto was gone, it was like, was Erasmus our guy that brings it in? It's usually dropping it. Wow. I've never liked every team doing that stupid drop all the time anyway, right?

Like it feels like everyone has to do that nowadays. It feels dumb, but they do it because it works, right? I think that's what we have to acknowledge. Power play percentages are way up from where they were six years ago. Based on that alone. No, but I just think like teams are smart. If it's not working, they'll stop doing it. Like we moan about it all the time here, but you miss Johnny now with that drop pass, don't you?

You do. Like it's, oh, I still. But that's just it. Not every team has that. Right. And so that's what I think they're trying to figure out. I like once they get set up. So it's getting set up.

It's basically, it's on Cadre or Lindholm now. Because To Foley doesn't have the boots to hit the line with speed. No. And Hubertoe is on, we haven't seen a whole lot of them, to be quite honest.

So it's, I tell him back and not reshique copycat league. Not a shifting. Copycat league. Try something. Not a shift. Hey, right.

I'll give you something new to try that you'll absolutely hate. Go five forwards. It only clicks at a higher percentage than four in one. It used to be three and two defensemen and they went to four because four was better. Let's go five. Only first unit. I don't.

Go ahead. Why not? Especially if you got a favorite draw is always in there. Give her. Do it, man. A righty center or lefty center, do it. I like Rhett's, uh, his tone, his tenor. I feel like he's ready for Ask Rette today.

Oh, really? He's engaged. I like it. Street property management every Thursday brings you Askrette. You won't use your own valuable time finding or managing those tenants. Earn premium rental rates.

Canada's property manager of the year with locations in Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary, hopestreet.ca. We invite you to email in at Askrette at Flamesnation.ca.ca. Or hashtag Askrette on social.

This was a photo, I think, that Princey grabbed yesterday to put out on social to promote that we were going to be doing Ask Retta today. And what struck me, Retro, is how much does your oldest boy look like you in that photo? Go zoom in here. Can we do that? I'm not sure if we can zoom in, but man. His face there with the ear flop flying out there. Because I got a photo sent to my household of your boy out on a little date for pizza. or whatever the other night.

And I see you did get him to shave. It looks, he looks almost identical to you in that photo. That's crazy. Well, he's dumb too. There he, look, look at that. Does that not look like your boy? I don't know, I guess.

I was still playing when he was born. Those eyebrows. That mustache, right? You got the little kind of wispy mustache that he be rocking there too. Five o'clock shadow there. God, how old were you 19? I got those jerseys.

I was 19. 19 years old. I got heckled about the holy chin strap. It does look like you could just use that as a seatbelt if need be too. This isn't doing a whole lot for the listeners on the podcast. Go check it out on YouTube. Go check the YouTube. It's deer in the headlights.

How about the goals I scored in junior though, eh? Pretty good. Yeah, real great. Uh, ask Rat. Let's get to it. Hey, Hey, Rhett, that's weird. Hey, Rhett, where are you on the Cuban sandwich? Love it. The Cubano. It's a, it's got the pickle. It's grilled up there. Some nice cheese. I'm a big fan of ham. Absolutely love the Cubano. This time of year, it's going to be tough to not love a hot sandwich, Red. Because that would have been big in Miami, right? That's kind of the Cubano territory.

down there. Cuban sandwiches. Delicious. Oh, that's good. Cuban sandwiches wonderful. You know what I don't do enough of is the kind of using a panini or a press on the sandwich. The press, you got to press that.

You got to press it. Press to press. With your whiskey and your sandwiches. That's the Warner move. Don't have to press the whiskey, but if you're making it a big night, you could probably press. Hey, Rhett, what do you and the shoveler

have against the snowblower? you know it's better nothing i got i got a i got a free snowblower shoveler likes to exercise though shoulders tell it the snowblower doesn't get as clean though right it's good to remove volume it doesn't do the finesse

well and so we're in uh finesse come on there's a bunch of businesses on the block we're on it gets stomped down pretty quick there's guys out there with the the blowers and you need like picks to get it loose. The blower can't do it on its own. So see here, here's the thing. I think the snow blower is going by the wayside.

You got to get that spinny broom. The thrower. The snow shovel. The sweeper, sweeper or whatever it is. Oh, the backwards broom. What does it look like? How does it work?

Yes. I don't know. What do I say? The spinny sweeper. Yeah. Spinny sweeper. Yeah. You're an idea.

It's way better than the snowblower. By the way, we need some picks of the shoveler at work here. If the snow actually falls, people are sending in their photos as well for the shoveler here. It's coming. It's supposed to see. Snow yesterday hasn't come out there. Don't worry.

Okay. Hey, Rhett, what kind of cigarette, what brand of cigarettes did Kipper smoke? And what was his drink of choice? Bodka and any smoke you handed them, usually. I don't know. I've, I never had to, buy him smokes.

So I don't think he's saying no. He was too picky. But those euros, they think, they think that the, uh, the chew is better from Europe too, less chemicals or something in it. The pouches are a nice uproof too. Snoose. Chew or whatever. Kippur used to take the chew and I'm not a chew guy, but he would take it and then roll it

into a ball. Do you remember he'd roll it into a ball and then. Yeah. No, that's the European way. Right in the front of the top. lip that the mackler or whatever that like tar you pack down i remember one game last time i had chue was copenhagen going into grade 10 algebra test and some guy was walk hey give me a dip i'm gonna have a big dip i'm three minutes into my test and i don't do well in math to begin with

and it's it's full on sweat i got this i'm drooling there's chew everywhere there's just all over in my face. I stood up, I smashed my test down on the teacher's desk and said, I don't care, give me what you want. And ran to the can and puked. How long does it take people to get accustomed to dip

to the point where I guess you enjoy it? Head rush. You have to take some serious beatings with dip before it's something you can enjoy, isn't it? I thought I had to choose the, what was it, the, the, the big Levi Garrett, the pouch stuff, the actual tobacco leaves. I thought I was cool one day in Saskatchew and I was driving back to Saskatoon from the lake.

So again, put that in there, I had to pull over for like two hours. Side of the road. I'm like, I'm going to crash. It was gross. Hey, you're, hey, Rhett, my husband has started asking me about possibly buying his parents' house. Should we do it? Would the house ever feel like ours, or would it be always theirs? I would never live in my parents' house.

No way. Why? What are your parents doing in there? Would you? Well, they are busy. Just playing cards and drinking tea. Yeah. Cribbage.

Lots of cribbage. I think it would be tricky to live in your parents' house, if it all possible. You have to do a gut job. You have to do a gut job. If you're buying it, you've got to do a gut job and move walls and change everything. Yeah, Renos. No. Unless you're like Pinder, where his parents live in a castle.

Even then it would be like, oh, so I see you're not fixing the drywall if you dent it, huh? Like, I don't need this. I don't need this. I definitely squatted there when we were moving, selling a house and getting into the new one. So squatting is fun, but buying your own parents place. Oh, boy. Don't like that. This one's like kind of quiet.

Hey, Rhett, what are you getting the shoveler for Christmas? I'm a big fan of jewelry. Is she? Kek, yes. That's going to work. I don't know many girls, women that aren't, to be honest with you. So I'm going, I've decided for the rest, I'm done thinking about it. I got a guy.

Yeah. I'm giving jewelry. That's it. Done. Nothing else. free now. You got a guy? Jewelry guy? Yeah. In Buffalo.

I have a guy. Really? Mm-hmm. Right off the back of a truck. Hmm. Quality stuff. Is it hot? Hey, Rhett. Did you take a golf cart to the rink in Florida like a chuck says he does?

I don't know what rink he's going to if he's taking a golf. Why are you living up there, Maddie? Because I was, I was going to defer to you. I've been to that rink once. It does not seem like you would be living close to that rink to take a golf cart. I mean, you could definitely live near there, but why if you're making $9 million, wouldn't you want to be in closer to Miami? It's like 45 minutes drive away.

There's a few things. There's a few things that you, I don't think you could take a golf cart to the main rink. I really don't. It's literally in a mall parking like it's, I don't know. how you'd even do it. But if he was talking about maybe a new... Practice rink?

Practice facility. Maybe that's a possibility. But even then, the practice facility is, like you just said, it would be nowhere near Fort Lauderdale or, you know, where you'd want to live. So either way, it don't add up. Where did you live? I live, remember, in Boca.

Elka Rattan. But the rink was in Miami then, right? Yeah, you could not live where the rainquins. No, it's, yeah. You're a little too close to Alec Manoa's family home. Rough. Yeah, you would literally, they told you, if you're driving home and you get lost

and you hit someone, keep going. Hey, Rhett. Because if you stop, you're done. Yeah, it's shady. Shady.com. I'm in Florida right now, Rhett. Can you get me some flames tickets? I don't have a lot of pull down.

I could get. you a limo, Scott Tinkler. Limo, I get you a limo to the game. Who's that? Scotty Tinkler. The Tinkler. The Rett's there in the Tinkler. Now he runs a, you know, it's a limo.

If a guy can get you a limo, you can go a whole lot more in the limo. That's what we know of a limo driver. Whatever you want in the limo. That's right. It's up to you. Gets a booze? What was his name? Scotty Tinkler.

Hey, Rhett. we'll end on this one. What's the best way to eat potatoes? Scallopped, mashed, French fries, other, what is your go-to potato? It's quite versatile. You could have baked? You could have potato chip if you really want to get literal.

I'm going to take potato chip out of it. Okay. This is for in terms of a meal. If I, I think probably the most versatile would be the mash. I love mashed. I like mashed with salmon and steak and burgers and all kinds of different stuff.

So I'll go mashed. I can put butter on it. I can put gravy on it. I can mix it in with ground beef and peas and all sorts of crap. Make a goulash. I got all kinds of options with my mashed potato. Did you ever make the reservoir? Pie where you fill it with gravy?

Yes. That's a move too. My old man taught me that. Look at the scallop, though. She's good, too. I do like scallop. If you're going to do scourkelet, It's got to be good.

My mother-in-law makes these scowl potatoes. It's terrible. You can't do that. Your mother-in-law, I thought she was a good cook. And my mom cheats her scowl potatoes. Oh, this is dirty. I remember Christmas one year, we're at the lake. Mama makes ham and some scowl potatoes.

Meal is delicious. Mom, how did you make these scowl potatoes? They're amazing. They're in one of those old school black roasting pans. I'm like, mom, they're the best scowlipot potatoes I've ever had. I bugged her and bugged her for days. And she finally came clean. Out of the pre-made aisle, the stofers or...

Yeah, the box. Rezes or something. Breaks your heart. What? Yeah, I know. Then you feel like a sap for liking the store bought better than the homemade. They are pretty good, though. They are pretty good.

Now, can you do the instant mashed? Because you can buy those in the box. No, gross. It is gross, right? We had to turn some of... Well, it's not. You could do worse things to yourself. Like I would never eat a tootsie roll.

I would eat instant mashed potatoes. Okay. Interesting. Comparison. Hope Street property management. Tough questions are answered. Canada's property manager of the year locations in Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary,

Hopestreet. Thank you, thanks to Shaman and everybody over at Hope Street for once again bringing us a scintillating rendition of Ask Rhett next Thursday we think maybe next Thursday's Thanksgiving he's going to pull some stunts on us on Tuesday until us he's done I will do I will do I will do a live shot for a couple minutes because that's about the time we'll be at nonas give us a tour of nonas show us the food I was going to say just get on your phone and just you can do a little bit with us where it's not

like you have to go into a studio you haven't gone into a studio in five years. Now allergic. That's a good shot. Bad filters. What kind of potatoes do you guys like? I like them all. Oh, well, I didn't show.

I caught myself. I said the instant mashed are disgusting, but if you put gravy or butter, you're going to eat them. You're probably going to find a way to eat some of them anyway. You may not eat all of them, but for me, Matt, the scalloped out of a box, I'm going to be okay with it.

What I'll do sometimes is I'll cheat and put a little extra just kind of shredded cheddar on top. It's not going to hurt. You got some real cheese in there. Oh, one of my favorite is when you take the bag of hash browns and you mix it with the can of mushroom soup, cream of mushroom soup. I knew where you're going, Dean.

I knew where you're going. Damn. Cheese on top. Some breadcrumbs. What kind of thing? You know where they have awesome tater tots? Hawaii. Is that right?

Really? Yes. Everywhere you go. So if you're ever at the four seasons in Hawaii, you got to try the tater tots. I was at a fancy joint in Hawaii. I went down for the fancy brunch. I ate about 12 pounds of tater toss. And they had cheese on them and bacon beds.

Oh, hallelujah. See, and we don't think of tater. Look at that. I'm with you. Hawaii. As a kid, we never had tater. It was like a gnar thing. too much.

And where do you get it? Like taco time? Is that where you get tater tots from? That was kind of the first time. It was like, these are pretty friggin good. That's a bit. But you know what the problem I have is if I'm making them in the oven,

some of them will start to stick to the sheet? And then it's mush and you're just throwing it out. Got to get your pan better. Yes. You got to get them crisp. You've got to get them crisp. That's probably air friar. You're doing it.

You're a fire for themselves. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Your air fryer work real good. Yeah. But if you're doing it in the oven. you got to put them on a you put the cookie sheet down or whatever but then you got to put the rack on top the air gets around the whole i do that with chicken wings you know what else it doesn't oh yeah you know what else doesn't hurt melt some butter and toss them in the butter first red is never going to say

no to butter it's probably involved in everything he's done in his life how's the yankee butter is it any good it's standard salted or unsalted Always salted. Both of the hell you're talking about unsalted. If it's unsalted, then I just salted, whatever I've cooked it. Yeah, you cook whatever. It's like, could use, could you use some salt. Unsalted butter.

I don't know why. Picture this. So you make a bowl of popcorn, you put some unsalted butter? What the hell it for? No. It's a waste of popcorn. You're just going to want to put salt on it. Yeah.

Yeah. You want to do the Pinder report? Let's make it quick. And I'm not. Ah, we got time. Sure. I mean, we got time. I don't know about Alex, but, yeah.

Alex is fine. Alex is just fine. He's bringing up, look at, he's bringing up on the fly, tater tot videos and photos and potato, scowl potatoes. God love you, Alex. Stiled in right now. He's trying to make up for when it's a mouth. It's a bad mouth. Oh, dear.

Now, Village Honda, they got a big thing on the go right now. Do they ever? Because, you know, you go, you hear of people, oh, you can't use cars, you can't get used cars, use cars, bad, they use cars. Village Honda says, you know what? watch us. Watch us do the used car thing. And right now... I got some budget to go get some used cars.

This is the thing. There you have it. It's the $2 million buy an event. They have a $2 million budget. Pre-owned inventory. So hurry because we're only buying until the money is gone. You see it there online.

You can hear it. It's Village Honda. It is the used car event. They'll buy your car. Even if you don't buy out. hours and a trip to Las Vegas. They're giving away a trip to Vegas. Dude, look out.

Village Honda. We've been telling you about them for weeks here now. Go online, villagehonda.com, visit them at the Northwest Auto Mall. When they say they're your dealership for life, they're putting their money where the mouth is. Two million bucks. That's the budget. That's like the Warner family butter budget every year.

It's a lot of... Very significant. Salted or unsalted, whatever. It all falls under that $2 million. There you go. Okay. We'll move. Quickly here, flames and bolts tonight.

We haven't talked a ton about it. Tampa kind of starting to look like a good, not great team. But then again, I feel like it's a team we all see in the playoffs. I'm like, yeah, they're to find a way to crank it up. They know what's going on. It's a five o'clock start seven Sabres time, Rhett. And we'll see if those wonky lines that actually look pretty damn good against the Kings can do it again.

All right. You know what will happen tonight when you're watching this game? It'll be the, all right, Corey Perry. Yes. Just when you think you've forgotten. gotten about him. Is he still? Third line, Corey Perry.

It's a thing. And they've split up the three-headed monster. It was Point Kutcheroff and Stamcoast on the same line. Three eggs and two baskets now. Nick Paul. Sneaky little pickup from the Sends has been good. He's got six goals already this year, Nick Paul. Big boy and a phenomenal playoffs for them.

Playing with Coulorne. And there it is. Third line. New Jersey's own, Ross Colton, Domestikov and Perry. It's Ross Colton's world. We're just living in it, Dean. That boy, Ross.

He scored a cup winning goal. suck on that one. And Patty Maroon, he's won some cups. What, three in a row? On the fourth line with Belmar and a guy that we don't know a lot about a cup. We'll move along. 13 games in the NHL, 12 non-flames bolts games. New Jersey's on a heater.

They've won 10 in a row. 10 in a row. They got a lot of Canadian action. And Jack Hughes, dealing with the Canadian hockey media, was asked about, well, you know, what about 60 minute effort? So you're getting enough to. Jack. What can the devil's do to gain a little bit more consistency throughout those full 60 minutes?

I mean, we're on a nine-game heater. I'd say we're doing okay. Okay. Is that not unbelievable? A, it reminds you how young these kids are. And B, it's like, you know, we're not going to mess with anything. It's now at 10. They get Toronto tonight, the center of the universe on the hottest team in hockey.

Let's go. You wonder why reporters get ripped. And that's actually, I believe, a man is. died as a devil's reporter, but yeah. You don't need the 60 minutes if you've won nine in a row probably. Yeah. Nine game heater. Nine game heater.

Okay. Elsewhere, it's time for a kale McCar appreciation tweet. There's your 13 games tonight. McCar and company, they're in action against who tonight. I wrote it down here. Wrote it down somewhere at Capitals. There you go. McCar, flirting with history, Red.

Did you know? he is two points away from being 200 points in his first 200 games. He's got seven games to do it. I never thought. He's got seven games where all he needs is two points to get to 200 and 200. We thought this was some Bobby or shit that would never happen again. It was like the game's different. D-Men will never do that again.

You've got to be shitting me. He's got seven games to get two points. He's going to have it in the first period. He is by far. my favorite player. Calgarian. 200 in 200, seven games. He's got all kinds of runway. He can play

with the wrong handed stick and get that done. Are you kidding me? It's amazing. First and only to do it. And this is the National Hockey League. Yes. There's not another level for him to go to. And he stepped in from Eubas. Like, what? We should really call him up.

He's a point per game in the blue light. He really needs, oh, is this the top level? Oh, well, I guess that's pretty. Well, you know, it's a big step from college. He's their best fucking defenseman. The flame's going to lose this series. It took two shifts and you knew it. Mason Appleton's out eight to 12 weeks for the Jets.

That's not great news. You got them beating up the ducks tonight, I believe, as part of one of your parlias. Ducks have been awful this year? Just win, baby. Winning rig. And Rhett, have you ever cross-checked one of your own teammates? And did you know you did it?

Because Justin Hull did it a few days ago for the Leafs. Have a watch here. He's in front of the net, taking care of business. Oh, yeah. So he's... He's crazy. Get out of there. Oh, shoot.

That's my guy. Sorry. You're screening the goal. No. I think he goes colorblind for a moment. He's pushed these bodies. Whank. That's terrible.

I cross-checked Blair Betts in practice and he fell and broke his shoulder. Oh, no. Blair Betts. But who did they call up that went to the Hall of Fame? You're going to take credit for something here. What happened? I wonder who. Well, they called up.

be Chris Colanos or Jamie Lundmark or something Lynn Lloyd's Before that Lynn Loins that was it was oh yeah I know Loins's brother we play some old man hockey together We don't care beauties good guys about his brother You love bringing up guys brothers Let's uh

I don't know any of the brothers involved in this major league baseball trade yesterday Let's get to that Do you realize what you just did Lynn's a beauty If Lynn Loins wasn't, like, irrelevant enough, I know Lynn Loins' brother. Lynn's around town. But Lynn's Loins' brother lives down near where I. That's right.

The area I got the house in. And then I saw Lynn Loins on the lake the one day. See, right. It's not going to get beat up for talking about his brother. No, you're right. This is valuable shit. Jays and Mariners, who squared off in that wild card series, made a swap. Tay Oscar, the two-time Silver Slugger and All-Star,

gone. Last year of his deal, slated to make around $14 million in Arb, they get a good reliever and a prospect who pitched in Vauxhall, Alberta. Okay. Better players in the deal? Is the Tay Oscar going to Seattle? Probably tells you they weren't going to resign him,

eh? If they do this now with a year left, going to miss him, nice guy. It's Canada. Can't stand Canada. Got to get out of here. He loved Canada. He probably said to get traded. I mean, don't not superly opinionated about it. but I feel like Tay Oscar's a guy you're going to miss in the clubhouse. I agree with that a lot.

And they were so damn right-handed. You're like, Frigg, how do you get a left-handed bat? Well, don't be surprised if they go find an outfielder with a left-handed bat to fill that hole. And maybe someone that could play center a bit so that Springer doesn't have to keep diving into walls getting hurt. Apparently. Apparently? Sniffing around. Cody Bellinger.

Bellinger. Belly. Belly. Belly. And somebody, Neutbar, which is one of the best names in the majors. I say, do it for the name, just for the name bar. elsewhere Thursday night of tonight Tennessee at Green Bay

Green Bay suddenly looks okay be Dallas at home it's Green Bay in late November we're okay with that in Tennessee put up a fight against Casey last week good D I like Grable it's got some Muxie me some ground game yeah ground and pound we talked about the snow coming in Buffalo that game may or may not be moved to Detroit something to watch for for the Warner family as yeah and finally check out this hit from college football last weekend, Rhett. I'm going to ask you a follow-up,

so pay attention closely. 13 yards. Oh, my gosh. Oh, he hit him right in the gold. Oh, my Lord. That did not look like it felt good. Mike Sainer still. Mike Sainer still put a helmet right between his,

I'm going to leave that one alone. But holy cow. As your kid would say, right in the nits. He hit me right in the nuts. Right in the nuts. Nuts. Ouch. We got a kid on my oldest.

kids team he refuses to wear a cup twice in practice has to take him right in the don't you understand that that's important it's an important piece of the anatomy i don't like wearing yeah i don't like wearing a cup but you want to know you know what there's three guys in this show right now and we can all tell you it's because boys are stupid yeah dumb animals boys are the stupidest things just water them feed them on the planet let them bump into each other they're good. Finally, World Cup begins on Sunday. Canadiens kickoff on Wednesday. They beat Japan today in their final tune up. No Alfonso Davies. They get a penalty shot goal in the 95th minute. Stoppage time. Lucas Cavalini and Stephen Vittoria with the goals 2-1 winner-over-Japan, who are World Cup-bound,

quality side. That's a little momentum heading to the tourney. Like that for the fellas, for the Reds. That's your PIN report for Village Honda. Go Holland, go Canada. There you go. Village Ford Village Honda. $2 million to buy vehicles. They'll buy your car. Even if you don't buy ours, you get a trip to Las Vegas only at Village Honda. Did win that trip to Vegas?

Today's thank you, Rhett, for the flames and lightning match up. They will have then five games remaining. First against Kachuk in a tight little window here. And what is, is that like a noon or a two o'clock start for that one on Saturday? Some dumb two o'clock, mountain time. Two o'clock mountains, four o'clock Sabres time, right? This is an interesting trip for sure.

You've got the two Florida teams and Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington. And then two matinees to finish, Carolina, Washington on the Friday after Thanksgiving, and Carolina on the weekend. Weird. Back to back to finish. Yeah. So what's up for the rest of the day? You're not, because you were saying earlier this week that,

you were going on, you were going to Chicago for, I'm guessing, kid hockey, I'm guessing that's not happening. Cancelled. We can't go to St. Catharines or Erie or Chicago. Everything is shut down. But I am going to do a charity event with Robert Ray. We're going to go sign some autographs and rave some money and, we're starting to, you know, we do the toy drive in Calgary there, the alumni.

We're starting to bring in stuff for the Savers alumni toy drive. Because that's where it started, right? You did it there and then kind of brought the idea here sort of thing? Is that how that worked? The Razor started it years ago, 30-some years ago. It's been... Awesome. So we will see.
