I'm just looking at you now for the first time. I don't know. You've been here. Hi. For a while. How are you? Between the shirt and toque and the beard and everything, you have, you very much have a lumberjack feel today. Where did you park your axe?

Your hatchet. My saw? I got a double ender. You get the other side. Double ender. I know there's a few. Those kicking around your house. I don't know about that.

Welcome to the podcast. It is Barnburner Tuesday. Tuesday. Well, they play the blues on Tuesday and Thursday, and they play the blues tonight. They didn't play the blues two days ago. So I'm gonna, yeah, I'm with you on a Tuesday. Game day, get your helmet on or your, whatever else.

Notice. Yeah, we'll get there. Yeah, we'll get there. We'll get there. The Rettster. What I mean we'll get there? You don't know what I'm going to say. He's going somewhere else.

Oh, okay. Well, I just thought you were talking about the clear and obvious addition to your shot. But go ahead. Sorry. Go ahead. I didn't know what I was going to. to say was anyone else noticed what a prick Pinder has been

in his snide comments even in the group chat. Oh. While his kids and family have been away. Like on Sunday when Pinder sent out the Corey Mace video of Mace. Yeah, he's walking to the Bill's game. And I said,

oh, is he here? And Pinder replied with yeah, yeah, idiot. Clearly he's walking into the stadium. And it's like, well, it wasn't clear. It was just a picture of Mace. Yeah. Yeah, Ryan. Is he making this up?

Just now he has to snitit people. You know, you're edgy. And it's because of your lack of sleep and overindulgence and booze. You should maybe. Look at how happy he is. Look at Mace, our boy. Why don't we get to get him on?

Come back to Calgary, Corey. Hey. And so is that the that right there screams, I'm walking into the Bill Stadium? Well, there was a video. This was a scream. shot of the video. The video had him walking amongst other people

in Bill's gear in the same direction. That doesn't mean you should call it ret stupid. I did not call Red Stupid. Yeah. Where was this video? It's ignorant. I didn't think I was... I didn't see a video. Now, I didn't pay that close attention, in fairness. But... You're high as a kite

still sleeping. Yeah, that was me. That was me. Is he in Buff? Yes. He's De-coordinator in Toronto, huge Buffalo fan. Clearly walking to the game. Great Cup champ. Clearly, Rhett, you're stupid. Clearly. I hear it too, Red.

I heard it for sure. There's a bungalow. His wife's wearing Bill's gear. They're all bills geared up. It's moments before the game. Is it a video? Rett's going to the game. Oh, this video.

On our chat. Yeah. You just exhorting her. Am I still frozen here for you guys or just me? Uh, you're froze. Sweet. You're froze up. We are, uh, we're on a game day.

We're on a Tuesday. We have some things to get to today. Yeah. some updates. Do we look any different retro? How do we look? These guys aren't attractive people, so you're as good as you can do.

Pender's got the fancy new shirt. It's kind of nice, I guess. The Tuk combo doesn't really work for me. I wish it was a yellow Tuk to go with that shirt. For us, they'll be a lot. It'd be a lot. But no, you look good.

It's still dark. Yeah, it feels dark. It's still, yeah. We've got new cameras. We got a couple new cameras. And new lights. We got to figure that out. Yeah, new lights, new cameras.

So we got to work on the, the ISO and the exposure and all that sort of stuff. What he said, that's what we're going to do. Get you all bogged down in the details retro. But it's because we care about the quality of this program. There you go. We're investing in it. We're putting money back in, resources back into this show.

Time, effort, resources. A lot of heart. A lot of it. Yep. I'll ask, we're here in the tower. Chrysler Studios Tower Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram your favorite Dodge Jeep Ram dealer in Calgary

you voted you voted not even close Calgary uh Sumer Choice Award winner and thing that thing there no one better at it not according to the consumers of the choice award winner not according to the people the people Dean the people the people

the people voted said damn right give me some Tower Chrysler so we're here in the Tower Chrysor Studios, you are on our YouTube, you're in the middle of three frames, and there is something sitting beside

you and in front of you. It looks like a It's an Emmy, is it a Grammy? Is it a Choice Award? Is it a Golden Globe? I'm assuming that you guys sent this to me. What is it? What is it? Let's see. You didn't send

this to me? First I've seen it. First of the year. person of the year and somebody sent it to my house here I'm so glad I got that I thought what were the odds like one in seven billion that's incredible yeah wow person person of the year yeah holy you guys did not send person of the year I'm sure we did

see the thing is rats pals there's a lot of candidates for who could have sent the person of the year trophy to rats so it just shows up in a box. There was no card, no explanation. Oh, I would think someone in white gloves showed up in a limo or some sort of a town car to deliver it by hand. You can't have those floating around. This person of the year award getting lost in the mail. Yeah, the Stanley Cup guy.

Yes, Phil Pritcher was there. Mike Bolt. We got the park down the middle. Yeah, it's nice. Well, that's good. Do you feel does it? Well, I got some, I got some detective work to do, apparently. This was like my birthday when I got the part.

the Warner jersey. You turd said it wasn't you. I got a Warner 04 red with the black logo jersey. I was sure it was you guys. I like the the anonymous. Of course you do. I like that. I thought it was McCreth. Has it boosted your spirits? Do you feel? Do you feel like you're deserving of being the person? It's going to be with it's it's going to be with me for a while. I feel like it should sit here. I think it looks great on the screen. It makes me feel good. Turn it around and I can see the impact I've had in people's lives, somebody's life. I think you should build a shelf or something and have it in the background.

We need to see person of the ear. It just looks like, yeah, I don't know what the award is until. Yeah, you got to. Yeah, there you are. And it seems massive. Yeah, because we're on a webcam and that, it's the perspective is a little off, I'm sure. But it seems, look how huge that thing is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Good stuff. Ten, man, let's make sure you get a screenshot. I'm guessing that the postage was more than the actual. Yeah, it feels a bit flimsy. Can you, is it like chocolate inside? Can you unwrap the tinfoil off of it and eat it? What do you mean? That's not like titanium?

That's not stainless steel, melted down. Eh. Hmm. Yeah. So anyway, that's exciting, though. We have Flames hockey tonight. The Calgary Flames are playing the first of back-to-back games in St. Louis against the Blues. Is it back-to-back? Because there's two in a row, but they're not back-to-back nights.

I said back to the night, and I'm like, did I say that wrong? I don't know. I don't know. I feel like if you're going to split hairs, you're being a jerk about it. Good, okay. It's like they're playing each other. Two in a row. The Blues aren't going to play anyone else before they play the Flames again, and vice-versy. Right. So.

It's a pair in the Show Me State. I think we talked about it before. You feel like maybe the fans, it's a bit of a rip. If you've got the same team in for consecutive games, let's call it that. I don't know. I think if anything, it might build a little, throw a little log on the fire. That second game might have a little bit, unless it's a complete stinker. Yeah, I don't know that that was the case of San Jose, but that never was going to be a barn burner.

Yeah. Log on the fire one. Good job. Slide that right in there. Do you ever have any of those retro in your playing days outside of playoffs, obviously? mini really the st paul hotel oh you'd have been so caught up on sleep four days brutal I didn't like it and there was always the thought of when we did it that would have been oh six I'm guessing that time frame was that oh there'll be lots of bad

blood you know guys will be mad you're going to have back-to-back games against the same team they're going to pay back. Snoose Fest. Yeah. I'm just trying to think of who you would, who would you have had bad blood with back then in those days? What random Wes Walls era wild forward or defenseman would you have had? Brian Ralston's going to get one.

Yeah, Ralston. I don't know. Andrew Brunette. Yeah. They had that big Matt Johnson. I'm certainly wasn't going to try to muck about with him. God love him for Oliwar, Simon, please. God, love him.

him, uh, Derek Bougar. Bougar for a while there. He'd keep you. Yeah. He'd keep you honest. Uh, side note, just I'm going to bring it up only because I'm thinking in this, of this era. Getting our, getting our stuff together for the Jasper Pond Hockey coming up at the end of the

month. I had the skates out, had to dig and find the skates. Because we went out, uh, all on the lake for a little twirl there. Got a knee stick, I guess, right? Yeah. Going to need a stick. You shoot right or left? Both.

I'm righty. You're like, I have a flat blade. You got the old co-ho. So I went, where is my stick? So I go rooting around for it. The stick that I have, I actually got, I bought one off of Depot down at the dome. End of the year, he had some extra stuff kicking around. So it was a player's stick.

Like, yeah, that'll work. Give us the year, we get to guess. This is, I don't even know. It'll be too hard. It'll be too random. Nick Hagman. But this will tell. you how long it's been since I've had a stick, bought a stick.

Eric Goddard. Whoa. An Eric Goddard pattern. He might have been the sneakiest tough guy or top five in the league, maybe top three. Rec could speak to it, but I don't think he got enough credit for how tough he was. He could go with anyone. He could go with anyone and knock the F out. Yeah.

Like it wasn't just, oh, I'll get in there. and try. Well, he got the better of Bougard. Oh. The one night at the dome, I remember. It was, uh, it was one of those ones where you just, you lean, okay. Ooh, here, here they go. Well, he, he would actually train as a boxer slash fighter.

I think he had, you know, the old, uh, he'd shoot the old dukes. He had some of the simple social, the sweet science. Tough, tough, tough SOB that Eric got her. He was Pittsburgh before. That was a bad one. after yeah it was no they started in the island

oh yeah yeah yeah yeah went a cup with Pittsburgh he started in the island so um that was a bad when he came up and he fought

boogard I mean it was fine for him he won not so good for Derek but it looked bad because Goddard had been down in the

in the minors and Boogie had run around the game before and Darrell called him up I remember this because Grapes was was giving him shit kind of making a comment that you don't call a guy up send him out there

have him do that have them have success in the next day back to the miners and that's what happened didn't look good I think that yeah and then they brought them back again but Iggy I remember because

we wanted him around. He was a really good dude. He's going through some hard times right now. He's epilepsy, I believe, and it's not, I haven't heard lately. Anyway, I don't want to get off the topic. But he had come to camp and he'd done everything you wanted, and all of a sudden they sent him to the miners,

and all of us were like, wait a minute, why are we getting? This is still the era where there were tough guys around, and Iggy liked having tough guys, and most teams have. Adam so blah, blah, blah. He got sent to the miners. We were all disappointed.

They brought him up. He'd give it to boogie good. And then they sent him right back down again. And it was like, geez, keep this guy here. And then finally they brought him back and he stuck around. But it was good. He got to go win a Stanley Cup in Pittsburgh and everybody's got good things to say that no Eric Goddard.

He was a good guy. That is true. And he would have left lots of, left lots of, left lots. a goal's in that stick for you, but they're still in there. Waste them. I can't wait to get it up. Saving them for Jasper. So many, yeah. 15, 20 years later, they're still in there. His mitt's the same. Like, they're just, the palms are fully intact.

He's just, whew. Speaking of, you throw out those names and I don't know why we're going here, I just thought of it last night, Blues Today. Here's the, if you're watching on, uh, on YouTube. So here is. Derek Bougard, Eric Goddard, both guys are what, six four, six five, just, It's heavy. I was going to say, in today's NHL, each of these guys is the toughest guy in the NHL. I would guess Goddard's given up some pounds here, right? He's tall, but feels a little bit more lean.

He had one of those. He had the hands that hurt you, right? There's certain guys that punch you, and it don't feel good. And he had those mitts. Yeah, that was a, whoa, kind of moment, because you just didn't see Bougard ever. Get handled. Ever lose. Um, the St. Louis blues, there is a time, and it won't be tonight, I don't think.

But if you were going to play two games back to back in St. Louis, it, you may have lost some sleep. Back to the days of Tony Twist. And you know, they were a tough, mean team once upon a time in the, were they when, like your, your day or a little bit before that? Because of course, you know, Chaser and all that, but there were some tough customers there, man. they had five guys, right? They had to fight. Instead of a two guys patrolling, they had five. Rudy Poshek was there for a while,

but chaser and twist, and then there was always someone in the middle of those two mutants that was willing to smack you around two. So it was like, oh, twist got mad. I hammered, uh, oh, what was his name? Number nine came in in St. Louis. I hit a guy in front of the net. And Twist didn't appreciate the hit.

And he was after me the rest of the game. And I'm like, this is not cool. Less fun to play with him chasing me. Shane, Corson, perhaps? I'm just looking at number nine. He was tough. No, it wasn't Corson.

There was a smaller, more of a gold. Cam Jansen was there for a bit. Ooh, he was tough. That was after. Zezel. There's a lot of middleweights, it looks like. But they, uh, And what's crazy about Tony Twist?

Just a moderate, he was 6-1, but 240 or whatever it was. He wasn't a behemoth in terms of towering over you. But neither was, I mean, how big is Kelly Chase? Chase is not big. Well, Ty Domey was a small. Chase would be. The pack of life. Chase was the smart.

Chase 511-200 was listed here. Twist, I remember being in the corner with Tony Twist in St. Louis. And he basically grabbed me by, he had the puck in the corner. corner so I'm pushing on his back and he reaches with his hand and grabs me by the sweater middle of the chest and just you stay here and I'll have the puck you know he wasn't going to do much with the puck but there was no way I was getting loose to that grip he just held me there and tried to move the puck towards and I was going nowhere one hand just you stay here he was so strong and the problem with twist was he'd hurt you like goddard put boo-garde

down there. But every time Twist fought, there was a fear that you might be out for a month. Like, he broke Razor's face. Oh. He broke his face. Like, the Razor, you know, a couple days before, I wasn't even on the team then.

But Twist was crushing guys and some meaty asked Rob Bray, like, what do you think about Twist? And he's like, well, what do you want me to be scared of the guy? I don't know. Whatever. So he fought him and then Twist took it as kind of an insult, then just smushed his face.

It's like, ooh, okay. And that's the problem. It hit you so hard, things would break. He punched Paul Laos, one of my first or second years, Lauscer was fighting everyone, fought like 35 times my rookie year, maybe 39. And so he fights Twist and hits him in the helmet, and that helmet just, Kablamo exploded, just pieces everywhere. made a mess of it

imagine not good if you've ever also and I don't know there's a rumor that when St. Louis let Twister know they weren't going to bring them back

he left the rink on his Harley someone ran into him that's right and he punched the yeah got run over on his bike

got up and went and dealt with it himself because I remember if you He what? He got hit. Kelly Chase has so many stories. Let's get him on tomorrow the day after.

Be a perfect time. Because I remember hearing about that. Tony Twist, outside got hit by a car on his motorbike. Oh, my God. Is he okay? Oh, he's fine. Yeah, the guy driving.

The guy in the car. He's fucking banged up. It's one of those famous. You should see how the other guys do it. Yeah. So what do we expect here? We've got two fairly even teams. in terms of records and points and records coming in.

The blues have handled the flames fairly well. Oh, they looked awful against the blues that, right before Christmas that last home game they had. It was a Friday night. Everyone was wound up, ready to let a rip, and they just looked awful. It was one of the worst showings of the year from the flames, and that's saying something.

What I was going to say, if not that was at Buffalo, I don't know, because to me it might have been... Buffalo was very early. The stinkiest effort. I kind of excuse Buffalo. It's like the second week or third week of the year or whatever, and it's like, okay, that's going to happen. But when the blues came through town,

it was like, okay, guys, it's time to get your shit together. Like, enough's enough. You got to start performing better. There was no reason to show up flat. I totally see a reason for thinking Buffalo wasn't going to be good. We've watched them the last 15 years. It's human nature. No one thought the blues were bad and you were going to roll them.

It was an awful effort. And no Tarasenko, no O'Reilly, no Krug, no Perinovich. I think Scandella might be back. They're pretty dinged up right now. I don't know. I think, I thought I read this morning that Scandella. is still out. He's still out. You're right. He's out. They have...

That's four regulars there. Perinovich is a guy they thought they could bring in and have a bit of an offensive role in the back end for. He's hurt too. Portuzzo. Yeah, they have six, seven regulars. All of them out. I think Scandella was on the re-evaluate in six months. Oh.

Kind of the thing. Not ideal. It will be likes the fight guy in net for St. Louis. Yeah. Jordan Bittington. Red ass. Yeah. Get running around, get him all hot and bother.

If this gets out of hand either way, don't just stay with it. Because Bennington is volatile. He's got it. I mean, I guess maybe if you've done it that many times. Coach railroaded him, what, a month ago? Guys have coaches told him. His teammates have to have told him, dude, smart not. Well, Barubei post game says it's not helping.

It's just got to stop the damn puck. It was a while ago. We played it on the show, but I don't know. He's a unique cat. No one had heard of the guy. And then they were last place in the NHL. He carried them to a Stanley Cup. No one's ever going to take that away.

But maybe he needs that internal fire. Me against the world. That's the only way that gets things done. It was a 5-2 game back in December. December 16th at the dome, the Blues beat the Flames. It was not a pretty one. The last eight games between the two, the Blues have won seven of them.

Jeez. And in the last six in St. Louis, the Blues are four, one and one. Now, this was a Blues team that, Had won a Stanley Cup, had been a very good team that weren't this banged up. Flames also lost to Chicago the other night. A team without Patrick Kane, a team that they should have beaten. I'm kind of at a point right now where I feel like the effort's going to be there,

but just with how uncertain the offense is, I don't know how to feel about it necessarily. Brandon Sawd has six goals in his last six games. Kairu's scoring. Robert Thomas, don't do it. is playing pretty well right now as well. Grice actually was in net. I thought maybe he would go. I think it was Sunday night shut out the Minnesota Wild,

but they are going with, likes to fight guy, or likes to think he likes to fight guy. There's three back of the flames, games played or even, and yeah, they're missing some big parts. The scary part is they're going to be treating it

as a must win, don't you think? Absolutely. Flames are in a wild card spot, blues are not. You got two in a row. You beat them twice. You pass them in the standings. It's that simple for the blues.

The bigger question I have, and it's a question for you, Rhett, is where are you on St. Louis Ribs? Oh. Because I feel like, anytime I see St. Louis Ribs, I feel like they're inferior to the baby back. And I feel if I'm from St. Louis,

and we're going to be all about St. Louis Ribs, they better be tops in their class in some way. where are you on the St. Louis style rib? I will never turn down a rib of any of any flavor or style. But I would say it's Ellen, you're with me, aren't you? Certainly not top of the list for me. Flatter?

It's, it's. And straighter. That's what I'm told here. It's really not about the rib. There's certain segments of America where you got Texas barbecue, Kansas City barbecue, St. Louis, like, they all have the Carolina barbecue, a little bit, right? Like, they're all a little bit different.

I'm, I would like Texas barbecue myself. I'm not, so St. Louis to me, it doesn't jump out at me, but I'll eat it. I'll eat it if I have to, boom. St. Louis style of ribs, uniform in shape, a little easier to work with. They've got less meat than baby back ribs, but that meat is fattier. So meat supposedly better. I do. I just feel like I'm not getting,

I'm getting more with my baby backs. I need to do some exhaustive research here. I feel like we should lay out all these different styles of barbecue from different regions and it feels like a trick question having to pick one. The mediest and most flavorful cut of ribs, there's a lot of bone that yields a high amount of fat. I guess maybe you're, I don't know. I'm going to have to do a case study.

So we need a rib showdown. There's only one way to really to really figure it out. And that concludes my St. Louis analysis for tonight. Very good. Yeah. And by the way, text all your sources around the Flames organization. They have an off day tomorrow. So clearly

Rib Night Tonight for the Thursday game. Maybe Kelly Chase could come on. We can talk about ribs. We can talk about Tony Twist, injuring a vehicle when it hit him on a motorbike. It'd be a great call. Chasers?

chef he would have opinion here i think he's taking courses like i was in uh scotsdale last year and i wasn't i didn't go i was invited over to ray whitney's house there was a kids hockey tournament and chaser was in town blah blah blah a whole bunch of guys were going to whitneys we had we were too busy but apparently chaser just said listen i got this i'm going to come over i'm going to cook for everyone and it was amazing. So maybe we should get Chaser on to talk some recipes, food. He's a foodie. Now, true or false, were you at odds with Chaser at one time?

Because I seemed to remember, let's get Chase on the phone. You were like, uh, it's not a good time. We're kind of busy with me. He was pissed off at me because he runs the, in Saskatoon, he has the, they have a, I don't know what you call it. It's not a pro-am where you, like the draft where you go and play for. Like the Gordy Howe game. It's a charity event.

Yeah, yeah. Yes, where you draft alumni or NHL guys and I don't participate. And he's like, you're an idiot. So now, now did you say you're going in his opinion or you just didn't? I don't recall. It was a while back, but I think we're, we've mended fences for sure. Well, that'll be good.

That would be good. Was it in Saskatoon as well where you did the charity bike ride? And he organized that. Okay. You want to tell people about the charity bike ride you took part in? It's the children's hospital. And I don't know if they called the Saskatchewan Children's Hospital, Saskatoon, Children's Hospital. Anyway, they didn't have one.

So they're raising funds for it. And Chaser is a huge charity guy, gets involved in every. everything, which is, you know, give him applause for that. Anyway, he puts this group together, a bunch of alumni. We're going to go in. We're going to do a bike ride because he was into biking at the time. We're going to bike from Prince Albert to Saskatoon, Saskatoon to Swift, Swift to Regina, Regina to Saskatoon.

It's a lot of bike on. KM's there. Raising a lot of money, though. We're talking about a hospital, right? Big one. Yeah. And then they would have a big, every, Every city they went through, they'd have a big event that night.

And so I said, yep, I'm in. I'm in, I'm in. So I went and did one leg of the four-leg bikeathon. Which leg of the bike-a-thon was it? But the shortest leg from Prince Albert to Saskatoon, 134 clicks, I think. Are you dying or was it okay? No. Oh, and I had the best of intentions.

I was going to do the right thing. I was going to get in shape. I was going to get a bike. Well, I got a bike. I didn't get in shape, and my bike was electric, so it really helped. I didn't have to get in shape.

Remember? I kind of, and then I stole it. See, there's so many layers to it, and it's just pure. It's pure warner, right? As soon as he started talking, I thought about the cow race. Something's happening here.

Let's take, if you're keeping score at home. Yeah. Are you in? Yep, I'm in. How many legs? All the legs? One leg.

Are you going to buy? I'm going to get in shape. I'm going to buy a bike. No, no, you're not doing that. Shows up, borrows a bike. It's like a moped bike. It's not even one of these e-bikes now where you pedal and get a sit. It's like,

it's a motorbike. It's essentially a motorbike on the one leg. He borrowed from a guy and never gave it back. Someone at the station. Yeah, we'll give you a bike. Which leg? It must be the longest one. Shortest leg.

Kept the bike. A bike has to be two grand. You're a weasel. If not more. Right? Oh, yeah. It's five grand. Just kept the bike.

There's cute ones where you see like French ladies in Paris sipping around. I'm the guy. Couldn't find the guy. Yeah, I bet. Now, were you getting, were you getting shots about it? Were people giving you a hard time?

Oh, I'm sure that was just fine, eh? Everyone else is doing that. There were eyebrows. There was a lot of jealousy, too. You get about halfway through, and you guys are pedaling away. Rett's passing them. I rode.

Hey, Chaser. How's it going? I rode about 30 clicks. So I did ride about 30 clicks. But you know what, but I had the. The seat was at the wrong level, so by the end of it, my knees were really sore. Yeah, I can't imagine the kind of pain and anguish you were in after.

I can't believe that guy would lend you a bike that wasn't fit to your specifications. Mopeding, a pedal bike route. Just here, take this bike. Thoughts of prayers. Doesn't know anything about you? Gosh. But you know what, Rhett, at the end of the day, who was it for? For the kids.

For the kids. For the kids. There is a children's hospital in Saskatoon now. Kelly Chase has. Nothing on you, buddy. Nothing on you. Matt Rose Pub, you see the banner there on the YouTube. They are our ticket sponsor.

We got a bit of a road trip here. Next, we've got two more games. One against Chicago, the return match. Oh, and you're saying on the next homestand, yeah, yeah. So we'll have tickets to give away for that as well, the Columbus Blue Jackets. Never heard of them. So those are the next two games that we will have tickets to give up. coming back.

In the month of, this month, anyway. Probably not a hot ticket at all. Columbus on a Monday, nothing else surrounding that event. Anyone?

Well, good Branson coming back. Yeah, that's right. Montage or good Branson. Montage for sure. That one year. So good. I know you'll get to it.

Well, oddly, probably some more Columbus Blue Jacket coverage coming in the Pinder report. I just learned about this team. I'm very excited to dig in. The shoveler, I know the shoveler was away.

took your boys, came back home, she's back there. She's been very good at providing some video and some content for us. Remember from the drinking party, she had the, you know, she flipped the bird, and that was a good screen grab, and she was that. More video coming our way as it ties into one of our sponsors. So let's take a look at the video here. I know we got it formatted up. We had to do a little bit of tinkering right before the show,

but Princey got her all lined up. A little home video of retro Nap time, ret. After, after Burner the other night. Oh, wow. It was laid out there. He's too much. Yeah, I know. Yeah.

Take a listen. Sounds like a wood chipper. I mean, Rett. She's, Rhett. How is she supposed to get any kind of rest? Well, now we know he's worth a TV waiting for the show. That's right. You got your...

Put some color in your hair to... Take away the grays. No, when you come back to town, I'm going to hook you up with Dr. Jay over an outdoor dental. That sounds like apnea. I'm not a doctor. Dr. Jay is.

I mean, he's going to figure out. Jay Patel over an outdoor dental. Snoring treatments, soft palate. A lot of times you think, well, what is it? Is it in your nasal? Just right there. Just right there. Dr. Jay knows where it is.

You don't need to know where it is. He'll fix it for you. It's a laser treatment. two 15 minute treatments. It increases the tension of the soft palettes. When it gets a little flabby, you have a flabby palette there, is my guess, right? Your soft palate's gotten a little flabby.

So we're going to tighten that thing up. That's right. Reduce snoring. It's non-surgical. It's pain-free. And of course, in addition to that, if you have, if you get anxious, you just cannot,

the dentist is not your thing. Anxiety. This is the way to go. It is less invasive, laser treatment, no drills. It's just, it's- No drills, no needles? Is that right? It's the new way of doing business when it comes to dental work.

Outdoor.dental is the website. Okay, this thing's killing me. Dr. Jay Patel, outdoor dental. Good to have them on board. We'll do the Pinder report. You were saying maybe a bit of a light one today, only, what, four games in NHL? And you know what? Three of them were shutouts?

We're used to having Monday Niders. That's done for our week. We will have a Monday night NFL play. playoff game. Lighter slate. We did have a national championship game, but we don't really talk a lot of college football in the show, but we'll dive into some things. All right. It's brought to you by the good folks

of Village Honda. Did you see our boy? Is he in like Hawaii? Or is he Oh, yeah. What? He is, Anthony is sunning himself as we speak. Mechalekheye, mechalekha hi, mechaheho. The all-new Honda, CRV hybrid. It's a that Village Honda stop in road test at today, see what all the hype is about.

VillageHonda.com. It's the Pinder Report. All right, gentlemen, flames blues tonight. Visitors need a bounce back after soiling themselves against Chicago on Sunday night where a hungover Rhett Warner

had to do his first after burner. Well, we saw him snoozing there afterwards. Well, I know, he was wiped. Hammer. Started drinking at the game. They said he had two coffees. It's too many coffees. It's craters, 18 beers mixed in.

It's like seven times I'm freezing here. Either way, here's a look at the Flames Lines for tonight's game. There's a little tweak as we saw. Yeah, there you go. Look at that fourth line. Lewis Rizitschka and Walker Deer. So one of the call-ups? Yeah.

Looks to be getting it. The older, less offensively gifted one. Just as you put all your money on that Darrow would play first. It is Walker-Due on the fourth line. Zerona says Pat Steinberg is coming out. My, my, my, Zerona. I think that's Zorn. He's coming out and Peltier will, for the second straight game,

get paid to be in the NHL lead popcorn. It's worse things. What would be the difference? Not a bad gig. Now, would he be making more, or would he be on one of those deals that pays in the same and both being his high draft pick? Or would he be getting significantly more dough?

I don't think there'd be a games played bonus or anything. So, yeah, I think that's the same thing. same. Either way, Pelche and Zerona. Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, my, Zerona. Going to be watching this one, it looks like. Markstrom was first off the ice at Skate this morning. That indicates he's the likely starter, although I thought damn Vlodar is pretty damn good in Chicago. You got two games. You can mix it up. Would we see Peltier and Vlard on Thursday, maybe? Who knows? Daryl knows, actually. We would know

that. But we'll see how tonight goes first. As for the Blues, I take a peek at their lineup. They're missing some bodies. We talked about it earlier. Yeah, it's no tank, no O'Reilly, no Perunovich, no Krug, no Scandela, no Bortuzzo. And a lot of these guys here, that top line still scares me. I like those three players. Buchennevich was a nice pickup out of the Rangers. Well, Bob Thomas, one of the best passers in the business of Jordan Kairu, is coming to his own as one of the better young players in the game. And then that second line kind of looks like a shutdown line. After that, you got the young guy, Jake neighbors and a bunch of guys trying to prove these still.

Erdry! Should be in the NHL. Boy, Jake? Remember when Chuckie wanted out of town. Hellchae does have a... Go ahead, sorry. He does have a games play bonus? No, he's got a minor league salary.

Oh, he's up, though, yeah. What I was saying, that was the point I was making. Oh. 70 grand is his minor salary. Or, I mean, he's not playing, but it's significantly more. I thought you meant whether he sits or plays. No, he's on NHL money because he's up. So that's a big change from, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Okay, so that's the story on flames and blues for tonight. We'll see. Calgary needs a much better effort. Wasn't like they were bad against Chicago, but certainly lacking urgency against Chicago for large swaths of that contest. NHL news. Well, look at this. Do you know the stars are watching?

Every day we do the show. We do the show for us. We do it for Tamman. We do it for Princey. We do it for the Wolverine. We do it for the three of us. Just have some fun. There are superstars that love,

watch, and just cannot get enough barn burner. So much so that they will go to social media just to comment on some of the things that happen on the show. Including former flame and second in league scoring last year, Johnny Goddrell. Big fan of the barn. Burner, apparently. He's chiming in. He's weighing in on topics. Look at this. There's Johnny.

I only eat cheese pizza. Tells you how accurate that is. You don't know, what are we talking about here? You were doing the UDli Uri Hootler story from Vegas. That was what, Thursday, Friday of last week? I think something like that. You were talking, we had to build Bob Hartley and all like, we played the Uri with no shoes on, the speech of the All-Star game. You got, Gio was there. You were down with Wrette covering it and you, you, you, you, regaled us with a tale of Johnny and Yuri was just taking the piss out of him talking about, oh, and then Johnny come in, he's eating the pizza wall. You said it was pepperoni pizza. Yeah.

How dare you? And now I don't even know if you just made the whole thing up or not. I know if it was cheese pizza and not pepperoni, how do I even know if it wasn't some other player not Johnny or a different guy on a different team or even a different sport? Maybe it was a soccer player that did that when there's an injury on this. Your credibility shot, Bucco. Well, the key to when you're making up a story. is to insert details.

Like really fine details. It must be true then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But boy, when you get caught like this. Yeah, just pants, day. When you're making shit up, it's so embarrassing. So I think like we- I only eat cheese pizza.

I mean, busted, dude. Yeah. You can't be trusted anything anymore. This information. I need. Misinformation. He's full of it. I need to take the L is what I've been told.

Well, and take that back. You could also take it back. One thing I would like to give you, though, is, well, look at this, special delivery. Let's see what this is. Johnny, who's this young man? Seven. He's seven years old.

That's a long time ago, though. Oh, yeah. What are some pizza? How's it going? Johnny. Good, how are you? See? Yeah, for sure.

Guarantees cheese if Johnny's stay. Cheese people. Hi. Oh, hey, we're going on at our flagship. Wow, from the flames, Johnny? Yeah. Oh, dear. Yeah.

It's nice, though. Yeah. The pizza man. Johnny Pizza. So they're calling him in Columbus. Good. Good on them. Good for them.

I love the forced smiles. Yeah. And get on the end there. He's like, what do I do with this damn kid? Is this thing going to drool on me? Oh, the baby. What about the baby? He's a spring chicken there, isn't he?

Holy. And you know what's great about social media? is he responds to the thing. Yeah. Why only eat the cheese pizza. So then, I mean, that was how long? When did we screenshot that? Is that this morning?

Like, literally tens and hundreds, like thousands and thousands of views or whatever. 100,000 people saw that tweet. So then I start taking shit. Then he starts taking shit. And then you've got people bickering against each other. Yeah. Oh, you got nice friggin' hair line. Okay.

Well, my. Your mom's a slut. It's not, oh my God. So then, so what happens is anytime somebody responds, your phone is like, bays, bays, bays, biz. I just had to put my phone away. I just turned it off, plugged it in. It's like, this is ridiculous.

Cocky, right to curling. And I checked my phone out for like, what the Sam hell's going on here? I got like, 1,000 men. I didn't do anything here. And so I think we got to get this framed, a picture of the Johnny quote for our first really viral moment because he's such a big fan of the show.

Maybe we'll put up on the wall, get it framed. Wouldn't that be nice? You know, those inspirational quotes where it's just like, second is the first loser, or the cheetah wakes up and has to kill the will the beast to eat, go get him, champ. You can do one with Johnny. I only eat cheese pizza.

I did like the, you donkey at the end. I always felt like that's a bit of a bit of a lot. Now, what was it, was it when we had Conroy on? Because Johnny was, he was in on something else we did, Princey. Remember the one day and it was, and Johnny, I think we saw him either in the chat or whatever you were telling me about that the one day.

Oh, I don't know if that was a real Johnny or something pretend to be Johnny. But it was the, it was the check mark and the whole thing. Yeah, yeah. Look at that. There he is. He's all jacked up. No pepperoni. Some people.

Johnny, please come back. We'll give you all the cheese pizza you'd want in the whole wide world. And other people are like, take your pizza and stick it. Nice record in Columbus. you lose her. You're like, oh boy, geez,

this is tough. Social media is the worst and the worst of all of us. Wasn't it neat to be right in the sewer though? Oh, yeah, with all the shit and piss

just to bathe in that for a good 12, 24 hours. You know what though? You know what though? The guy cares. The guy cares. Monday's going to be interesting. A couple Mondays from now

when he's back. I'll say this. He's, you know, he's making a lot of money. He's in Columbus. He's got a kid now. Life's different.

Still cares about the show. I think there's a part of him that wishes he was here. Went to Columbus. That team is worse this year than it was last year. In the year before. I mean, they're...

Look at the pizza. Where are they? Bottom five in the league. Oh, yeah. They're right in the Conner Soup steaks. Top three. Not good. Them Anaheim and Chicago.

He remembers scoring that overtime goal to win the series. He remembers that. Yeah. He's... You know what? He misses us. Sometimes you wonder what is that close to signing, if just the littlest thing set him off.

Like, if after you... Game 7, for example, they had pepperoni pizza. You had to peel those pepperonies off. That minute. Last straw to, maybe not. Okay, we'll move on, Rhett. How about that? It must have been late out east, and we saw you snoring there.

You still might have been whacked out. That didn't look like comfortable, healthy sleep you had, Rhett. The Oilers lost in L.A. Last night. Yes. Skin dog, the old skin flute got the hook, and it was Jack Campbell in. He didn't know much better. Former team.

team the drafted him, or it was Dallas. And then he went to L.A. And then he came an NHL or in L.A. resurrected his career. Traded to Toronto because he had a low cap hitting there up against it. And then became a good player and then forgot how to play net. And then Emitting gave him 25 over five.

We all know how it went. But now the sky's falling in Emmett to check out this article from the athletic today from their resident Oilers reporter. The heat's getting cranked up. They're fifth in their division boys. With McDavid. So, oh, well, once he gets going. No, he's having.

one of the greatest individual seasons in the history of the league. And so the knives are out, or at least the, you better do something about this. Now, in that article, because they detail that the top pairing of Darnell Nurse and Cody Cici isn't quite up to snuff. And the goaltending hasn't been great. But they also, your boy, Dom,

uh, lose chicken. with the athletic. He has his models, the projections in the way. He has them finishing fifth and the second and final wildcard. Yeah, it's close. I mean, I think he has them, as of today projected for about 96, 95 point something points. Like that's right on the bubble of you might not get in with that point total.

The same projection, I believe, has the flames, I believe, with home ice in round one, finishing second. Just edging out of... Just out of... No, that's one model. It's not everything, but it's a very good model. and it probably, to the point of the article, speaks to how bad everything around the two superstars must be if they're having the types of seasons there,

particularly Connor, that they could miss. And last night, it's the taste of their own medicine type of thing. They went 0 for six and the power play, gave up four power play. Fiela had four power play points. Yeah. Kid me? Anyway, so our sentiments here at the barn burner.

I know we don't want to talk about the oilers because the people that watch us probably don't want to hear about it. you have to be, even though you're fifth or what, you have to be all in if you're Ken Holland. You have to go get Chickren or Kane or you have to, don't you? Because of where you're at with those two guys? Good news this morning. The other Kane could be back before the All-Star break.

We talked about it, nine games for the Flames before the All-Star break. I'm sure it's a similar number for the Oilers, so that would put them two weeks away. Do you sit Connor McDavid and Leon Drysidal down and say, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. The draft this year is really strong. We can't give up our first round pick.

Do you know how strong? this draft class is. We really can't be giving away firsts here. Guys, there could be a franchise player in there. Especially when you miss the Brett? Sorry. Especially if you miss playoffs, you're going to have a good pick. This goes deeper. Something's wrong in that organization and maybe it's

the big guys that are the problem. How high, right? You're talking about players. I'd go up the org chart. I don't think they'd be good enough jumps around of these guys. A D D's brutal. The goalies are not good enough. One guy is having a great year. He's in the HL almost all last year. That's not

how this was supposed to go. Were you talking about management or were you talking about the top players? No, no. I'm talking about players. Something's not right in that room. They should like, like that team should be way, way,

way better. And yes, the personnel, the goaltending is not good and the defense isn't good, but there's no way that it's too long. It's been that way where they got some stud offensive players and nothing else goes well. If I was,

detective, I'd be digging into what's really the problem. Because you can get average players play better, right? They get average players and those players play like shit. Right? Like, why? Is the coach terrible? Is the room to church? A lot.

Something ain't right. Right? Like something is, something's goofy there. Well, and remember, it was not long ago, you called the coaching change. You did. Yeah. well he he had tapped in you saw it in an interview that day the day before I was like he done he's had enough he's tried he's pushed all the buttons he can he's throwing his hands up this is the

eighth year of connor macdavid's career they've won three series and they lost a best of five in their own building to chicago who sold at the deadline that year and does it make it worse now ret when you've had because remember last year they won two rounds they got to the final four you've had a bit of that taste. The expectation was, but but if if you're McDavid and now you know what that feeling is, you scored a series clinching goal at all right? I need that now. Whereas before maybe if you didn't, well, yeah, I'm going to love the playoffs. Now you know what that pressure is like. You got to have a stronger hunger for it, don't you? Well, they had that run a long time ago. They won one series and then lost to Anheim. They're playing well. I mean, I just, something stinks

there, right? I don't care. I'm an Oilers fan. I'm happy to watch them flounder, but I think you've got to do a deep dive into that because I don't think it's as easy. Oh, the goaltenders. Well, blame everybody else. That team is not a

cohesive unit. Can I let me ask you. I just wanted to ask you this question. It's not a direct comparable, but I'll just ask, I'll frame it this way. Is it hard sometimes, or is it a natural instinct, maybe, when you're on a team where you don't, where there's such a steep drop off in skill and you know the power play is that good and you know those top two guys are that good, that

you just almost rely on them just naturally. Connor and Leon are going to get us out of this. I'll take shorter shifts. Those guys are so good. They're going to, they have a better chance of getting us in this game than I do. They'll save us. Does that just become kind of a unconscious thing after a point? I mean, I mean, it probably does to a certain extent, but that's where a leader you would think would have a focus of making sure everyone feels important and being able to recognize, hey, yeah, guys, I'll do this, but we all have to contribute and feel like a really good leader would make those guys recognize it. There's nothing happens if it's just one person. We have to it's a team game it's hockey it's this isn't new right everybody has to contribute you get on

the ice you can't just go i'm going to go out here and kill 20 seconds give connor and leon a rest so that they can go out and play like that and i don't think guys in the n h i think that way i don't could it creep into your game maybe a little bit but but that's what i mean it's a stupid scenario where you're trying to break this down and make sense of it and it's like it can't be the same thing over and all they signed Koskenen that was a stupid well they signed Campbell and that was stupid well the other goalies no good well

their defense is terrible you've got dry sidel and one of the greatest contracts probably at NHL history right now like he's cheap for what he does yeah the year capped out is crazy now overpaid right and is there D that bad

something I think it is Tyson Tyson Barry and Joel at what point do these guys rise up and get better instead of floundering and looking like they're the worst. Last thought for me on it. How does Connor go into the media after a loss when he was the best player on the ice by a mile

and addressed the team's struggles? That's always the awkward party for me because he knows when he's had a good game. And I think he's incredibly humbly doesn't like talking about himself, all that, but oh yeah, we just got to. to be better. That's how that whole thing. Everyone upset me has to be better.

That whole thing last year started because of that. Oh, why are you so pissy? It's because he and Leon were constantly having, we're being asked questions, probably fair questions, about the team's struggles. And it wasn't them. Their goaltending was no good.

Their defensive play was no good. The power play and those two guys were great. And they got tired of having to tap dance around the, well, we need better goaltending. We can't give up so many odd man rush. is that sort of thing. That's where that whole thing started. That's a good point.

That context, I think, makes sense. And I think, and I don't know, was tip at the guy, apparently not. Todd McClain, apparently not. I said it from the start. I said it from the start. Was Hitchcock there when he started? I'm trying to remember. They've been through a ton of coaches.

Anyway, my thing with the Oilers, and I don't, don't poke, fun at my memory because it could be way off. But I always saw it from they never surrounded Connor McDavid with someone that could teach him how to be a good leader. He's had to wing it on his own since he was a 18 year old teen in the room, right?

Like, who was there that showed him how to be an NHL captain? Who was that guy for Jerome here? And maybe Connie had for a bit. Yeah. Dave Lowry. But to your point, Red.

When was Jerome named captain? Not when he was 19. No, it was handed. It was like Connie talked about it. It was like, we have to give it to him. It was Taylor Hall was captain of that team for him. Yeah, because the point I was going to, to your point, is you don't need Mark Messier or one of the greatest leaders ever.

It just needs to be a guy who's been. A Jason Smith, a Ryan Smith, one of those type guys, right? And it doesn't always work, but I. And it's. Well, and it doesn't even have to be a player. It's better if it's a player. And you learn from each other and you kind of like each other and the room's good and you create a good. I've never heard that the room's good at Edmund.

Never, ever, ever for, well, since he's been there and I've paid attention to it. You haven't heard the room is good there. Have I heard people say it's terrible? No, I've heard that it's not good. And I think that the mistake that Oilers fans make is when this conversation comes up, they react. Oh yeah, how's things going in Calgary? The comparables for the Oilers are not any team in the division or the NHL right now. The comparables for the Oilers are the Penguins when they got Malkin and Crosby. It's comparable to the Oilers of the 80s when you had Messier and Gratsky. It's comparable to, you know,

the lightning when you have Kuturov and Stamcoast and their prime. Ovi. Ovi and Baxter, whatever it is. It's like we're talking about there should be a dynasty, if not a few banners. Not can we make the playoffs? This isn't a who's better in Alberta. This is how are you wasting the prime of one of the greatest players in the history of this league so well? Three series wins in eight years. That's not Lemieux. That's not Stevie Y.

That's not Sid. That's not any of the other superstars of the caliber we would place to make. David in. And I think the responsibility for that goes well above the locker room right to the people that run the organization. Anything under the owner, including the owner, is responsible for this because they've rolled through a million coaches and had all the big free agent splashes. They've traded first. They've kept first. They're not well run enough. And Connor knows it. Awkward party. Yeah, very well. And that's, you know, you're right. It always go, oh, you guys make fun of the oil. And I poke fun. I don't think we're having a different conversation.

than what Euler fans are having because they're they're frustrated they know their fifth they see it i fried like does yesy pool y'arvey lead them in fighting majors or something this year i saw this stupid stat last night that klim coston goes in and starts running around and they're like look at this guy finally there's somebody here with some piss and vinegar who's going to stir the drink a little bit you're probably bang on man uh okay that's good taff hour to keep going on it? That's fine. We're done.

Any final thought read or no? Well, I'm just looking at, I pulled up the stats. I mean, obviously McDavid's heads and tails better offensively

than anyone, maybe forever. But that was my point, was that if you just go off their positions, their top three, four guys, you've got Connor McDavid

as a centerman, Leon Drysidal, and Ryan Nugent Hopkins. Centers, if you want. It should be, they are all centers if you want that should be every every other team in the league should be salivating go

oh my god can you imagine if we had those three guys the gms wetter is three punch right like what are we talking about and they're all producing 77 62 and 48 points then hyman's got 44 i think he's doing what he's supposed to cane was fine before the injury for some reason for some reason they don't win who's their best player outside that tough five not an easy question uh okay we'll on national championship game Georgia against TCU last night and boy when you miss an extra point in one of these championship games like is this going to come back and haunt us like is this going to screw us over um nope at uh this miss was going to be a okay dina's uh at half time this is the big this is the big this is the biggest game of our season this is the biggest game for a lot of these guys careers

you might not ever be on a stage this big again back to back for georgia could you do it friggin kickers and like you got to buckle down here this is a chip shot there he's at the 10 yard line here. This is 21, 21 yards? Oh, boy. Geez. They'd survive that somehow. They held on, did they? And the internet really loves a route. So let's, uh, let's walk through the memes here. Uh, Georgia's the Bulldogs, of course. So I always like a good, uh, dog analogy for a dog team. Um, this is Georgia on TCU.

Yeah. Uh, also that the TCU defense taking it a bit. It's a, to, to, just, felt like they're a little overwhelmed. And so for live footage of that, we had to a beach somewhere where this is TCU's defense. Just trying to stop. No, no, no, no.

And then the, how many points are you think they're going to put up tonight? Because they were on quite a turret pace early. And the answer to that was a Baltimore Ravens player, whose name is Isaiah likely and whose number is 80. So the back of his jersey just says, likely 80. Likely 80.

Yeah, yeah. Which is. Not far out. That's Robert Griffin the third IG3. That's funny. Finally, boys, hate to do it without you. But,

you know, we're all pulling the rope here at Barnburner. Had to do a business meeting without you yesterday. So, um, thanks, buddy. I appreciate that. Yeah,

here to help. Don't want to. So chatting with clients and, uh, you know, some paperwork and check in with the, those of you not on the, uh,

Work on your hands in the garage. Get out in the garage. You don't have that fancy car anymore. You got lots of room in the garage. It's in the car. It's in the garage. His ramps still taking up space? It's in the garage.

Here's how it's going to go. I'm going to go to Jasper. I'm going to enjoy myself, the poutine, the whiskey, the wine, the hops, the street festival, the fireworks and all of that. I think for a three-on-three tournament, we got plenty of guys. Do you want to be our mascot? If the mascot is the guy that takes a couple twirls and then drinks on the side, then sure. Doesn't sound far off, yeah. You've seen me golf.

That'll be me at the pond hockey. Oh, you've got to be better at hockey than golf. Don't hold your breath. I'm good at spinning tunes. We're on a traveling team at some point, even on these men's trips all over the world. I'm good at spinning tunes and having some beers in the sidelines, cheering everybody on.

You need a ringer, I'm telling you. You're what the oilers need. Dean is what the Oilers need. They don't need more skill. They need a good room guy. I said that's good at home D. They can use a stay at home D too. That should be one of our shirts.

I'm good in the room. All right. Rett, you were good in the room. If that room's the bar, I'm deadly. you're just in a lot of rooms. I'm always in the room, is what your shirt would read. Betway bets of the day,

and we'll get out of here. How about that? Let's do it. Betway bets of the day. Let's go. There were only four games last night in the NHL. I believe there are 10 on the cooker tonight.

25 teams. Yeah, it's a lot. I didn't go blues flames. We usually take those two. Don't jinx them. You've been jinxing the flames. Stay away. Sorry, Rhett.

Crackin at the Sabers tonight. Oh. The Sabers lost four nothing last night to Philadelphia. The Crackin, they've won five in a row, seven, two, and one in their last ten, on the road, 13, four, and two. Shut out the Habs. Did you see those uniforms? Why are they dressed up like the Cracken? Cracket or plus money.

Look, there is. Oh, wow. What does it say? Which account? That's the Sabres account? Really? Read it out for us. You're on the small screen.

We can't really read it. That's right there. Ret Warner will be on the pregame show tonight. Tudin at 630. Wow. That's the Sabres in-house or the TV broadcast. MSG Network or whatever. Oh, good.

Good for you. So anyway, Crackin or Plus Money in Buffalo. I'll take the Plus 100. All right. Money line. They're rolling. And the Devils at the Hurricanes. The Devils of, remember that start they had?

Oh, they're on fire. Cooled a little bit. Cains are still very strong. They've played each other twice recently, December 20th, right before Christmas. 4-0-0 Carolina in Carolina. Last week, a 5-4-Carolina win in a shootout in New Jersey. This one is back in Raleigh.

Regulation win plus 100 for the Cains. Those are my two games for the bets of the day. And on the Carolina front, sounds like Freddie Anderson's close. Is he? Which will bring on an interesting decision, because Ranta's been anti-Ranta, and this Piotr-Jotkev has been phenomenal as well.

So we'll put something like that. See if they go with the three-headed monster, which everyone loves. Three goalies? Perfect. Works so well. Everyone loves practice with three goalies, right? Here are my bets of the day.

I'm in a home, if I can't go on Calgary and be jinksy pants, why don't I just jump on one of Calgary's finest? Columbus is in Tampa. Cheese pizza against the two-time champs. Braden point, two points or more, plus 162, one point in the power plate, plus 135, Calgary's finest.

Go get them. Look at you. There you have it. Get the app on your phone. Follow along. It's the Betway bets of the day. What are we six? Six o'clock puck drop. Yep. St. Louis at six. So that's all right. It's a little early hockey for us. There's the haves. Yeah, why are you trying to look like the cracking? Is this like welcome to the league? We love you. Welcome Seattle. We're going to wear jerseys that look like yours. It's the reverse retro. You can only do so many things with. I think it's the original sixes. It's hard for those teams because there's such historic

like seared into our brains logos that you mess anything around. It's like, oh, it looks like shit. Was that an expose thing perhaps? Probably, yeah, the powder blues. But it's just, I, when the new teams have fun with it, you love it. And then the old ones, oh, I don't know. Oh, so six o'clock start, good, good start time. And then afterburner.

Yeah, right, are you doing afterburner tonight? 11 Sabres time? You're going to be completely zonked up by then. Oh, he's muted. you've turned your mic off. I got to do the Sabres broadcast. I don't know what the math is. Someone will be there, though.

What? I got to do the Sabres broadcast, so I'm not sure if I can do the Afterburner, but someone will be at the Afterburner. I'm sure somebody will do it. Is this how scheduling is going to work? We're going to get to day of and then. No, what it's going to be is just Rett's not going to do them,

and you and I will end up doing them. I don't like that. I said Thursday. I said Thursday. You asked for Thursday off. Well, that's true. You want to do Thursday? I was thinking the Rett, I mean, six o'clock.

There's only so many early games. This is the week of early games. If you want to buckle up for the 8.30 L.A. starts, that's fine too. Yeah, there's no chance I'm doing that. You realize an after Burner's going to start about midnight your time for a Flames home game. So are you doing tonight? I'm happy to do it tonight. Would you like to do tonight?

No. Rett, would you like to do tonight? You need Thursday off. Yeah. So you may as well do. tonight. I don't need. I'll do Thursday.

Yeah, good. Rett, you're on tonight. See you then. Pinder and Warner, tonight and afterburner. Good luck. YouTube's. Hope I can make it work.

Podcast downloads. When you're on your way in tomorrow, fire up your old, your old podcast there and hear all the insight. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The jocularity, the yucks. Chalarity.

Hilarity. Rett was drinking Caesars last time and was hung over. over the same day he started drinking. Yeah. So that'll be tonight. Tough to top, a little after burner following the Blues and Flames. We'll be back tomorrow.

Love it. Work on Chaser. Yeah. Be great to get them on. And we may have a special guest on Friday because I think Rett's going to bail on us on Friday. Oh, are you off Friday? Yeah, I'm taking off Friday.

Kids hockey. That's the Buffalo Cup this weekend, Dean, don't you know? Of course. Didn't. Did it like the bean pot? Now you do. year olds. Now I do. All right, buddies. We'll see you tomorrow. Have a good one. Wiler suck. Yeah.
