Hey, how we doing, everybody? Welcome to Barn Burner on a Thursday. Boomer and Pinder in the Tower Chrysler Studios on location today. And the Redster at the kitchen table. Looking bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and ready to roll. How are we doing? No school this week. The Redster's been sleeping in.

Oh, nice. Yeah. So what time do you crawl out? Today? Today I got off the couch at about 902. Yeah. It's pretty good. Schools.

Usually school, the alarm goes off at 6.20. Yeah. That's an extra three hours, I think, Brett. Just that feels good, I think. Yeah, it does. It does. It's all. I actually told the shoveler today, I said,

I will not be getting up to go to school anymore. I feel too good. Well, there you go. So an update. Yeah, sleep's good, buddy. Sleeps good. Hey, we're in the Tower Cryser Studios. On location, Tower Chrysler.

Now, I bring this up because it is brutally cold right now, retro. We're about minus 28. Do we? With the in my truck on the way. Minutes 28 with pure sun. So it was brutal overnight. Continues to be brutal. And Tower Chrysler, they're constantly given back.

Serge and Nikki, unbelievable people. From now to the end of the month, which is starting to creep up on us, isn't it? Teaming up with Tower, collecting warm clothing for the muscle. You can drop off winter clothes, winter items, coats, boots, myths, gloves at the dealership. They are going to jam a ram in the showroom and then take it directly to the mustard seed at the end of the month. And if you do, drop off some stuff, draw a drum, put your name in. We'll have a nice prize for you at the end of the month.

They will. So that is awesome for everybody over at Tower Chrysler. The Calgary's favorite Tower Chrysler dealer in town. There's no other Tower Chrysler that people like more than Tower Chrysler. It's the best I've come across by a mile. We are here on location. on location today at the Grey Eagle Resort and Casino. And already the chat is wondering,

did Pinder leave last night? Did you? Because we didn't come, we came separately. Did you spend the night here? No, I left. Yeah. No, I could have stayed. Yeah.

There was a moment where I was like, you know. But I think you probably do fine until two or three. Then what do you do till 6 a.m.? You're better off sleeping at home, no? Well, you lose track of time. casino right it is true my gosh you can't believe it's it's 4 a.m and somebody was asking if maybe a little bit slow getting the show going today we're on location people it's the other some things wondering if they had to pull me off of the slots uh no i actually have not touched the slots

buffet though a bit of a trap they do have a buffet it's a phenomenal buffet so if there's a place dino could get trapped around breakfast time do you like the slots retro i've crushed that buffet myself yeah they're still talking about it here yeah your pictures on the wall you retired your jersey in there it's on the wall i'm not like slots i tend to play at the tables i like i like the interaction you know i'm a social guy boom slot yeah slots right there my buddy beef loves the slots yeah yeah you play that jacks or better not not the slots but i mean the jack he called it playing the piano because he get on there oh really did he can he can he can he can he can he can he

He'd do it so fast. You're watching. Like, what'd you hold? What did you keep the queen? What are you to do? Do you win? I used to try to win, I used to try to win like eight bucks in junior playing jacks are better to pay for my meals. Put in a five and hopefully get it to 10 that I could afford lunch.

It's a big, big Western League paychecks every month, $182. What is it? That was a big thing, eh? When the vaults hit the bar? At least it was a man. I don't know what the deal was. It was different. They kind of got on the other way.

They were there forever. It feels like the BLTs. And then they sort of faded out. It's hard to find them now. Was it the same in SASC retro? Did they come in? Huge. I can't even know.

Early 90s kind of thing. I remember they came into, it was one of the lockouts. So what 94, 95? What year would that have been? Yeah, 95, 96. Similarly. And Pat Falloon was putting on quite a show at Houston's and Brandon.

It was, so you had the pianos, right? the VL a couple of VLTs going. And it was just, it was just whiskey and waters. Really? Just covering the top of the boys. Just a veteran showing the kids how it's done. That's right.

This is what Daryl likes, you know? You don't bring up a kid and not put him next to a guy that's got some jewelry that knows his way around. That's right. You need your Trevor Lewis and your Milan Lucci is to show kids how to drink heavily and play two VLTs at the same time while they're under it. Now, again, hey, responsible.

Be responsible, everybody. We are at the Great Eagle Resort and casino. We, well, coming up this weekend, it's the triple header over at the event center, headpins, Lee Aaron, and Toronto, a female-led Canadian classic triple header. And tickets are on sale at Ticketmaster.ca. That's how you get at all tickets through Ticketmaster.ca. The website, check out that and more Grey Eagle Resort and Casino.

Let's get to it. We were very excited last night, Retro, a rare victory on after. after burner for the boys, was kind of wondering at three to one what, what the we were going to have to do to get a victory, but the flames dug in. And luckily for all of us, they got a win last night. Just I guess your thoughts in general, the start, it was very much like Philadelphia, right? They ended up, they weren't trailing one to nothing, but were badly out playing and out shooting the opponent, but yet couldn't either get a lead or distance themselves.

What were your vibes until, I guess, comes to 3-1? My vibes were not good. I was like, when it got to 3-1, I'm like, okay, well, this is just the season. Clearly, there's going to be one of that team that it's just like, even if they, they've had bad luck, they've had bad play. And now when they play well, they still can't win. This is just one of those seasons where things aren't going to go your way. And then all of a sudden, things started to turn. So I mean, they had a great effort.

They should kick them. So I want you to, like, we can look at, you know, quantitative, like, oh, here's the zone entries and here was the scoring chances. I want you to remove all that nonsense and tell me the mindset of the players, if they lose that game playing that well, playing in Vegas today, arriving before they left with the time zone change in Vegas last night, versus that win where they score five unanswered, rally from down 3-1, because we could talk about X's and O's in line,

line mates and all that. But these are humans and I just think it's night and day where they'd be mentally if they'd lost that one versus where they are now. I think it would have been a tough one to swallow last night when you do put up that many shots and do outplay a team. And if you'd walked away in a loss situation, again, you're getting on the plane. And I don't even think, I don't even think the coaches would be hard on you at that point. They could see and they're watching the games too. But you would have had the mental thoughts that I had. You'd have been going, it's, we're not going to get out of it. What was that movie?

The perfect storm? Yeah. Where they're going up and down in that storm and they see the sun and they think they're going to get there. And then all of a sudden things get 10 times worse. And they're like, we're not going to let we're not going to get out of it. We're just, you'd have had the mindset where even in our best, even in our best efforts and in quality games, we're not getting points. This is not going to go well. Yeah.

You'd feel like the hockey gods were. to get you you get 50 plus shots they all they had three three on eight shots and one is put into your own net by your defenseman truly if if you lost that one last night you'd say fuck it totally and the third one is to fully ripping one off the crossbar your d man blows a tire and it's a two on one it's like holy fuck these guys it's it's like the deck stacked against you yet no even when you're doing things right it's ended up in your own and we talked about it last night that i mean if you want to be critical it's like getting awfully giddy for a win in February

over the Arizona Coyotes. But I mean, it's two things. Arizona's been playing pretty good. And right now, the flames, it doesn't matter what the opponent is. We've seen that. You need wins. You had, what, 13 guys getting points last night. That's a feel good game. You need that.

Kids. Yeah, the kids get on board as well. How about, how about Walker Deer! It's a boy. I'm loving Walker Deer over here. I'm telling you, I, I hope Daryl's coming around on this stuff because those kids are, right? I do too.

I think he's seeing, wait a minute. I've put a lot of faith in these old pricks. Maybe it's time for these young guns to let them go. The kids run. Like Daryl's stubborn, but he's not dumb. And I think you can't help but notice the added pace on both the second line when Pellier got there. And now the fourth line with Duer back in there. I think you'd be foolish to go away from it

unless there's some sort of like, geez, we really need more X, Y, or Z. But I'm sorry, I think Duer can do everything Brett Ritchie can do at a quicker pace. And he's got some scoring touch. And if you like Lewis for killing penalties, so be it. And if you feel like Luch is a leader and it gives you a bit of that,

you know, nuclear deterrent, fair. You don't need to have Rozich get in there. But I just feel like you can't take Duer out right now. No, I mean. Not the way he played. Last night. way. Yeah, but it's much like.

And I mean, bigger than next game. I mean, I feel like he's earned a good run here with that type of a performance that really helped. My prediction is that Walker Doer is going to be a fan favorite for the next five years. I want to make shirts right now. I got ideas. Yeah, I was thinking about ideas on the way home last night. Durer, dare, dare.

Save them. The thing. The thing with, with that guy is he's never looked out of place. No. You can look a step slower, or you're just kind of, you're just kind of, you're not from the time he stepped in and it's a fourth line role so i get that but he he deserves to be there and and i'm with you you now have pelche who seems to look more and more at home and more comfortable every single game i like the way he was moving on the power play yesterday

looked very comfortable gets a goal off of his did we say it's off it was a stick the quotes man but who cares it's not how it's how many that line has been good those two guys have stepped in Now, I don't know that you're going to see Zary and Wolf for a whole cast of guys coming in. But at least, man, how long you wanted Pellche to be here. And all you could say was just don't, you got to do something. You got to do something to warrant being here and to justify being here. And I think he's done that and more. I think he's helping that line.

And they're just getting better. He individually, and that line is kind of getting better as well. Hearing a post game, he said, look, when you just want to get up here. But now that you're here, like you look around, you see where you are in the standings, we need goals. Like being here and being on this line is one thing, but I need to produce to help this team win. And he's a very responsible defensive player. He doesn't turn the puck over much.

I worry much more about that with Codry and Hubido on the line than I do with him. And he's a mature kid. And I'll tell you what, we've been calling for this kid for over a year now. And he has arrived much more polished than he would have been if you called him up a year ago. And so it might be frustrating that they're a little more of a slow cooker, but look at the player you got. It's a more refined player. He's a really sharp defensive player.

He doesn't make a lot of mistakes. It's all good. It's all good. Kids getting in. More kids. Let's get more kids. More. Yeah.

More. And I even, I mean, it's ridiculous. It'll never happen. But you talk about Lewis and Luchich and I'm sure you can say, that's fine, play them if you think you need them. send him to the moon. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I would rather at this point watch kids come in and give you the energy and the effort. Yeah. And I still think rudely, but Rizchka is an interesting

puzzle piece from me. I don't know what's best. I would like to see him next to Rizichka and then pick your Lewis, slouch, each whatever on the one side. But yeah, like,

I think Brett Richie's now expendable. I just like very quickly in the year, Kevin Rooney was expendable. Or as we talked about last night, what it does for you at least to a certain extent. You don't need to go and get a Ryan Carpenter for a fifth. You don't need to do that.

You shouldn't be hunting for a death forward. Right? Yeah. The Rooney one is, I mean, gosh, still don't know what exactly they were seeing there. But I don't know if it's the same on the blue line. I've liked Gilbert. I liked him again last night. I think he's, you know, he's a little bit quicker and more agile.

child than I maybe thought he was going to be. I still think you could add some guys on the back end. But between what Pellche is showing you and continues to grow, and now you've brought Dura in, you've got a couple of extra bodies, don't spend any assets. Not a forward. Unless you're bringing in something else that makes,

something that makes, someone that you can't fit in with your cap anyway, right? Like, sorry. You added a significant player with term. Like, you're going to have to show me the Rubik's Cube for the summer because they're just, they're already capped. So anyway. was not looking forward to doing a flames loose in Arizona despite putting up 50 shots last night.

So luckily we didn't have to do that now. And so now they go to a place they love going. Yeah. Keep the good times rolling. Yeah, look. There's Afterburner last night. Tell you, Dino. Great.

You look like you're playing the events in or a couple weeks playing bass. How we're doing, buddies? Hey. It's great to be. be back at the Griegle. It's been a long time since I've played in front of a sold out crowd here at the Grigle. We're going to do Ask Rett coming up later on in the show. The injury report for McLeod Law is coming up. We'll do the Pinder report. We've got a whole bunch of things to do here. But I wanted to say, T's and P's to our buddy Greg Keller up at Bontan meets.

Oh, what's going on? Well, he was out. He was on vacation. He was in Kabul. watching Super Bowl. I think we showed a couple weeks ago his Super Bowl set up and how he was going to be watching and had his family down there. He's got his granddaughter, great times. Greg came back yesterday or the day before. I'm trying to remember when I was texting him

and had no long pants. Oh. Because remember it was quite nice here. Right around Super Bowl time. Yeah. It was quite bombing. Very nice. He could get away with that.

Minus 30, whatever it was, as he hopped off the plane. in his short pants. So if there's frostbite on, on Greg's cancels, if he's a little bit agitated when you swing by bontan, you'll understand. Yeah, frostbitten kneecaps. That's not idea.

That's like the guy in Winnipeg. Remember until the bomber's won the Grey Cup? He wasn't going to wear pants. It was like 15 years. Cool guy. But with the weather, I was just thinking about today's Thursday. Okay. So it's going to warm up a little bit.

But this is, this is stew weather here, retro. What meat dish am I going to be making today? We're going to leave the casino here and then get ready for after burner in the game tonight. What hearty meal in minus 30 am I going to make? Is it going to be a stew?

Is it going to be a roast? But I'm thinking Bontan might be the way to go here today. Oddly enough, boom, boom. I just had to go buy a $120 roast at the local butcher shop here. 120 Yankee? I am yeah 120 Yankee yeah for three boys and a shoveler to eat so we had a bit of an ice storm last night

so it's the same kind of weather here so i am i'm roasting a tenderloin and uh gonna make some mashed a lovely au jus to go with it's gonna be good mm-hmm very nice bontan meat market open the doors in 1921. All they've done since is provide the highest quality product and treat customers like family. It's AAA Alberta beef, free range poultry, grain fed, Alberta lamb, milk fed veal!

Fresh Alberta pork. They are every year. They're Calgary Consumer Choice Award winner for Best Deli. Meat Market. 28 Crowfoot Circle Northwest Bonton Meat Market.com. Put it in your Google thing there. Put in your maps. Get up to and get you some. And say hi to Greg. Who's probably got some sort of salve.

on his knees and his ankles. Very delicate, very delicate. So what do we know about the Vegas Golden Knights? They lead the division. Chandler Stevenson leads them in points. That has been, I mean, of all the additions, trades, acquisitions, that's a sneaky under the radar one that has been huge for Vegas. He was our top line center most of the last year.

And now he's playing further down the lineup but continuing to produce. He plays the pace. themed expendable, I guess, in Washington because it wasn't a huge price that got him in there. There's a couple guys from Washington. They've done well with, I think, what Nate Schmidt and what he meant to that organization in the first three years. Yeah.

In fact, I was looking at it today. There's six guys that remain from the expansion draft or trades made around the expansion draft. You'll see a few on there, half their top two lines. So Marcia So Carlson and Riley Smith, the duo from Florida. Thank you, Dale Tallinn. Hope you enjoyed protecting Alex Petrovick.

and then yeah Carlson was what a 12 goal guy in Columbus and then explodes for 40 year one other guys see he's still so quick Brad and McNab quick Dale Tallinn expansion draft they'll like Petrovick under the bus it's just well you mix in the the Spencer night sergey brabrovsky within 10 days of each other like it's magic Dale Tallon does things no one else can do McNabb carry A and Riley Smith so there you go my buddy Riley Smith. Where does he play? Well, he's leading them in goals. GTHL Beauty.

Yeah, GTHL Beauty. 19 goals for Riley Smith leads the way. And I think I was to say this yesterday. They continue to be a very good team despite you look and you want because their goal tender. For starters, Logan Thompson, pardon me, this is the, you're going to be your number one. See number one material comes in. plays very well, I guess he's fine.

Mark Stone gets back to it. He's your captain. He's the straw that stirs the drink. He's out. Is he going to need surgery? I know you try and avoid back surgery at all costs. But man, his back has let him down for a few years now. So I don't know. And they still sit atop the division. So it's not as though they're doing it under the radar anymore. But I do wonder a little bit, given all of that.

Yeah. Like 19 goals, 48 points. That's your team. they don't have a superstar. It's not superstar performance right now for Jack Eichol. He's been good. When Stone's not there, he hasn't been the same. When he's playing with Stone,

he's been phenomenal this year. But I mean, that's again more about Stone than anyone else. I just like their blue line. I think that's what's kept them alive. You go Petrangelo Martinez, McNabb, Theodore, and then White Clouds on your third pair. Like, that's a good blue line. And that's probably, you know,

work hard, physical, bottom six forwards and a good blue. line and they've got more saves than we thought they would with a guy that was third string on the depth chart last year in logan thompson haven't won in vegas right haven't won seven games they're mutie i realize that but it's i'm work i think the flames have played well lately and i like their energy so i'm a little more optimistic but that's a tough trip to go into Vegas having never won and played last night in in Phoenix yeah it's uh it's something well we'll have we've got a little factoid coming up in the pin report it's not just that they haven't won

it's um it's been incredibly lopsided in that building and the flames have actually done well against Vegas at the dome when you look at the aggregate but they ain't there tonight i would say what are our thoughts on jack eichel right now uh i mean because you you you first full season. Let's see. Yeah. I mean, you're saying why he hasn't been a superstar to star. Yeah. He hasn't been as good without stone. And it's like, well, if you're supposed to be a top five centermen in the league, you probably don't or shouldn't be relying on other people to help you out. And to be fair, I don't think he's that anymore. So it's not as though he stinks or anything. He's got 18 goals, 40 points and 44 games. But when the flames were in that mix, we,

We talked with him as a superstar. I'm not disagreeing with you. We had him as one of the top two centermen in the league, and those are not numbers. That's the Lyslandholm type numbers. That's a very good player. It's not a superstar. Yeah.

And look, it's his first full season back. I don't think anyone will care when he puts up in the regular season if he's their best player in the playoffs. But to this point, you know, he's not the best player on the ice as much as his line made Stone was when they're two. The problem is that, sure, you could have the injuries and all that stuff, and he didn't like it in Buffalo, but has he had, he's only basically had one year where he really went out and dominated for a full season.

And, is, wow, he's not what he thought we thought he was. I guess it's becoming clear. Not yet. Yeah. Yeah, but what do you mean? Not yet. Well, I mean, how much hockey he played last three years?

he hasn't had a single full season. So like he's not a superstar. I'm with you. He's looking like a good player, not a great player. But it's that tool kit that it's all those skills. He hasn't lost them. Like would you be surprised if he had a 90 point season next year?

I'd be like, fuck you're optimistic about things that you're the guy that hates to play the imaginary game, but you use imaginary whenever you need it. He's hoars like 10 and a half. I'm asking if you'd be surprised. if he had 90 points, would you or no? Well, right now I'll be surprised, yeah. Yeah, because he's like, he's basically a point for game.

How many times has he done it? I think to your point once. So, I mean, I don't think, I think he'll have another year that's close to his best year, but again, I'm with you. I don't think he's a superstar in this league. It's one of those ones where you felt like Buffalo did okay, their backs were up against the wall,

and obviously you love how it's gone for Buffalo, but it's, it just felt, like one of those deals that how about Vegas man they add another weapon now again they're first in the division but i i don't feel like it has been the explosion or has made has taken them to that next level like maybe you would think adding a number one center would do because he hasn't performed as a number one them leading the division is a function of it being the softest division in hockey i mean there's no contender in this division in my mind i mean edmonton can't defend Seattle's on a huge swoon the last month.

Vegas is hurt and not that dominant with who in net. And Calgary's massively underachieved at this point. L.A. has kind of been where you thought they'd be, and that's two, three in the division, and they're not a, they're not a, look at this massive power. I mean, none of these teams lead any other division in hockey, and they're sort of taking turns doing it now, Seattle and Vegas. if we were in Vegas

if we had kind of got our shit together and we had why don't we go to Arizona watch the game there. I've never seen that ring. That'd be awesome. Then fly into Vegas short flight be there the next day and then come home. If we'd have had our our act figured out what would we be doing right now in Vegas? Sleeping. The show.

Yeah, I guess we'd be doing the show. The show. Yeah. Sleep after the show, right? Okay. Stay out all night. Do the show. to bed wake up for the game tonight well some of us do that right but other people stay out all night and then neglect the show so there's i mean that's what i said yeah yeah stay up all night do the show go to bed yeah yeah yeah show up late for the show yeah lose your fucking bank card or not at all go to go to the pepper mill at three if you are on youtube right now you can see it right there and i want to bring some attention to it saint eugene golf oh there it went oh st eugene

golf resort and casino was was the banner there we're back new partner welcome to the show welcome to barn burner yeah we're in christmas dino helping us raise funds for closer to home st eugene came in yeah with the uh the kind of the the package that they put together for for one lucky bidder the money went to our christmas campaign to support uh closer to home, the Christmas Christmas campaign that we had going. But you see it there. Championship golf course out by Cranbrook, British Columbia. And we talked to Mike. Mike says, yeah, let's do some stuff.

We want to get on board. We're loving the barn burner. People are talking about it. Let's go. St. Eugene.ca is the website. There is the phone number on your screen. And I have a feeling we've got a new golf friend. Oh, retro. We maybe have a golf event partner in St. Eugene. Could you get back to Canada Red at some point in golf with us? Would you like that?

How close is that to the border? Can we smuggle you across in like a grain truck or something? A big human puts on a golf, a boy's trip out near Kimberly Cranbrook. And I think they almost every year play at St. Eugene. I played. Perfect. I played St. Eugene. Had to be.

I was still playing in Florida. Jeez, what year would that have been? Anyway, before 2000. It's a long time ago. So I don't want to, you know, without letting getting ahead of ourselves, I would anticipate we're going to have a early season potential. Barnburner invitational kind of thing. The BBI.

Any type of spring type of deal? Maybe I'll just get out there and, oh, it's just really nice place. There's a hotel and a casino and a golf course. And, well, what do you know? After the flames. sweep Vegas in round one. They'll have that downtime. We'll go golf for a week, get content,

and then come back for round two. Yeah, that'll be tough. They'll have so much time off there. So you worry about, is it rest? Is it rust? Yeah, you always have that battle. Always that battle. Thank you, St. Eugene.

Good to have you on board. We're going to do our best to treat your right championship golf course, Grand Brook, British Columbia. It is also one of those things. If you're looking, maybe you and your significant other, want a little getaway? It's very nice. Tranquole is what I'll call it.

Is a tranquil? Can we do it during Sam Steele days? Sam Steele, a place for the Minnesota Wilds? Is that right? Yeah, sure. Yeah. Who is the other, who's the, uh, sure it was the Sam's. I don't think it's Sam Steal.

He was from. I think it is. Um, might be a different guy. Uh, who's the other. Sam Steele days, Cranbrook, BC. Ha! You guys, you got to get out of your house. June 15th to 18th.

So what do we do? Smuggary again? Yeah, how do we celebrate that? You won't have to. I'm almost, I've almost got my name cleared. Oh, really? The gunner, yeah. You're asking you about a flame.

The flame draft pick that was from Cranbrook. Played for Abbottesford. That wasn't the big human. God damn it. Roman Horac was. Oh, gosh sakes. I wish it was Chilliwack. Great.

I know. Well, he probably called his games. I don't know why he wouldn't. I can think of guys that weren't dropped there. It's so close. It's so close. I'm right there. It's so close.

Do you want to just sit and wait? Ryan House? No, it's not a chill one. No, blonde hair, dark hair. What number? What type of player are we talking? Played junior, college kid? Junior.

Oh, you're thinking of Carter Banks. Carter Banks. Kimberly, BC. Kimberly just up the road. Lobs. Oh, the big human. In the, at the, the Kimberly rink. One section for the big human.

One section for Carter Bank. Banksy. Wow. I hope for banks. You know what? He was full of? Piss and vinegar. Leader.

He gave up weight, reach, height, all the time in scraps when the team needed a fight. Leopardy. Hurricane? Yep. Good hurricane. Settled out on. Lethbridge.

We talked about Stone, done for the regular season. Higo. Robin Leonard, done for the season. That's a hip issue. That's one of three goalies on the shelf right now. Aidan Hill, day-to-day. Logan Thompson, lower body week-to-week. That leaves them in the unusual spot of Laurent Brasua and Michael Hutches. Michael, yeah, your favorite guy.

Backing up for the club right now. and Patrick done for the season as well. That's an upper body injury from the fall. It's a lot of hurt dudes, Rhett. It's been a tough go for them on the injury front the last few years. A bunch of hurt bags. What are you going to do? And you talk about the defense, and I was going to chirp.

How are you winning games? Maybe not the best spot to be chirping other teams' goaltending. Aidan Hill, a 2.55 goals against a 9-10, save percentage of win-loss record of 14, 5, and 1. Doing okay. Take that and run. Yeah, no doubt. And again, I like that blue line they've got. Also, some other injury news while we're on the topic, Ryan Johansson, 12 weeks, he's getting shut down.

That's not good news for Nashville. I mean, they're kind of, you know, they're behind Calgary, which puts them on the lower end of the bubble. This might seal it for them. Maybe we see the Preds move into a cell position at the deadline. There'd be some interest in Tanner, you know, who they're trying to get an extension done with, but clearly haven't yet because it's not done. And then also there's always interest in Matias Ekholm. So with the Johansen injury happening, he shut down for a while and looks like the season, that might push Nashville into a different spot than they'd hope to be come March 3rd.

And for the flames, obviously the only absentee right now would be Oliver Schillington, personal reasons still in Sweden. And I'm sure the team would have clarity at this point, Dean, whether he'll be back or not. I'm also sure the flames wouldn't tell people if they were getting involved in the trade market. he wasn't coming back. It's only going to hurt your position. Yeah, it'll be that cone. Cone, cone of silence.

Do you get inside a cone of silence? I just think about the code. Codes where? Is it a code of silence or do you get inside a cone of silence? Either way, they're not saying shit. Yeah. It's a presentation without law. Call Peter Klein 403-254.30.

Oh, get that number, blind man. Oh, damn it. numbers. Oh, Dino. He needs his goggles. Can't see your goggles. Where's your goggles? Okay, phone number 403, 254, 3864.

There it is on your screen. 254, 3864. That's a little better I can see there. P. Klein, and then Klein with a C. Cline with a C. PC line at MacLeodd-Lodd.com. There you. Want to do the Pinter Report?

Let's do it. Let's crank it out. Pinner apart is a presentation of Village Haunted. Northwest Auto Mall, your dealership for life, they have the CRV hybrid, they have the Honda Passport Trail Sport. They've got the Ridge Line. The new Accord might be there now. People are excited.

I said it yesterday. You can test drive a vehicle in the summertime. It's, oh, it handles really nice. It's really like the, you think? Very little road noise. Test drive one today, the worst conditions possible. going to tell you what you're getting in for it. I have a feeling that Honda is going to treat you right. It's the Pinda Report. Yeah, let's let's start where we did last night. It was maybe not the

greatest of starts, although it kind of was in the desert, except at one point, look what the graphic was on the broadcast from last night. Flames at Coyotes. This is one of the toughest looks we've seen in a season full of tough looks on the shot clock. 31 to 8 the shots. midway through the second, three one coyotes. I mean, this had pain written all over it at one point. Now, so this is at 31 shots. 32 goes in for the flames. Shot 33 goes in for the flames.

It was a comeback when they'd score five in a row, and we talked about it on afterburner. This was nearly the flamziest flames game of the 2022, 2020, 2023 season. Can't lose this one, right? Can I be honest? Can I be honest? You turned it off and you thought they lost.

It was three to one. And my eyes closed. I'm like, oh, boy. I'm going to. We didn't. Here's a taste after burner last night. And you had said that this is the most Calgary Flamesy game of 22, 23. Because what were the shots after the first period?

I see 16, 18 to 3. 18 to 3 through 20. Scoring chances were 14 to 5, high dangerous 5 to 2. So of the three shots, two of them. Which is very flamesy. Out shooting the crap out of your opponent, very flamsy. And yet only a one goal lead, very flamsy. And then sure enough, the first mistake they make penalty-wise,

it's in the back of that. You're tied in a game where it feels like you needed a second puck for the oats to feel it on their stick at all. It was a lopsided effort if you did anything. Look at the score. Yeah. So it was peak panic on Flames's Twitter for a moment there in the second period. You noted it.

Tanniv throws him on his own net. Tofoli rips one off the bar. A D-Men, I believe is Rasmus Anderson, blows a tire and a two-on-one. And you're like, they're just not going to get any breaks. Well, it turns out the rest of the way it was all flames. And that sets up, I guess, well, Tyler Topholi doing it again. We've got to start giving some love to this guy. Guy's been good.

I wonder if he's one of those guys. We talked about it last late. Veteran guys, who's going to say to Darrell, hey, just, hey, hey. we got this would it be a guy like tyler to foley he's got some jewelry with darrell has known him a long time does he have that level of respect i bet he does well he should be one of those guys for sure he's dealt with them before he knows what it takes so he's producing so he's got it's you know there was one point in the year where they're sitting luchich so it made it tough on luchich to want to go in and and call out a coach or tell him to chill out you don't think you don't think

Ruzichka's rolling in there and saying, hey, big D. Rosie could get his head out of his hoop and start playing hockey. That would be nice for Rosie to do because he's going to get run out of the league here real soon. I don't care how long it stick is. You can't do shit from the press box. He's, he's, uh, I know, but he's in the press box for a reason. I'm with you. In the press box for a reason.

You better impress some people. Yeah, I'm with you. Uh, okay. So here's the standings after last night's. Oh, well. Yeah, boy. Damn. Don a tough for Lee.

Damn, dao-i. Damn, boy. Damn. That's a fucking banger. Yeah. Watch your mouth. That is a banger. You know what, fuck that.

You say whatever you want. That's a banger. Tepoli's been unreal this year. I just, whatever you do, Alex. Don't play that again. Don't play that one again. Especially after Tafoli scores tonight. Don't play that on tomorrow show.

I'd hate it if you played that. Don't you there. Do that. Standings. Here we are. after last night. Boy, that feels good. Damn, boy, it feels good when you pick up a win against the team we thought would be

right in the mix for Connor Baddard. Hey, small baby steps, right? Now they're only two back with Minnesota holding one game in hand. Yeah, there's still some work to be done, right? We talked about it on after burner last night. They've got two points so far. There's six available on the road. Not yet,

but art, no. How many points do you need on this road trip, rat, to make this a success? They've got two, four remain. They're in Vegas tonight to lead the division. They're in Colorado on Saturday defending Stanley Cup champs. I'll be a dig. Dinged up. Two points. And how would you feel with three? You'd feel really damn good. I'm with you. Two salvages. Watch it. Is it to us there? Jeez. Here's the story tonight, or last night, I guess. Flames arrive in

Vegas. They land earlier than when they took off. The magic brought to us by Ryan Pike in time zones. And the bottom paragraph there, between an early arrival, short trip, and a light night in net for Dan Bladar facing just 14 shots, would you dare? Do it, Rhett. Back to back, bladars on the road. I would, but I don't know why I would. Well, I guess he couldn't stop the TANF shot.

That was a nice one. It was right on the TANVs. They still gave up three on eight at one point. and yeah through and 14 me much better yeah leave what are so good have taken away the bottom half of the net yeah that's weird he had didn't even know he was shooting on that point odd fuck dude he's right there and it's not just i don't care i don't care who plays that just stop the effing puck please just please seconded okay so now let's incorporate the final game of the road trip in denver on saturday who do you want

in net for that game and does it affect tonight's start I don't eff and care who's in that. Just stop the puck. Please. Yeah. If one of these guys just wants to stop the puck, they can play the rest of the season. Like that, go get it. Go ahead.

I'm willing to cheer for you. Just stop the puck. Can you make my dear man look good? Stop the fucking. Make the dey bet look good for a while. Come on. Christ. That's the analysis.

Are these guys going to get contracts with shitty goal tending? Why are they thinking of the D? Hey, come on. That's great goalie analysis for Barnburner. Who would you go, I don't care, just stop the puck. It's been rough in Vegas. How rough? Well, they're 0 and 7 in the building, but get this.

They've had a lead for what? So seven games, you probably have some here and there. Ryan Pike has the data. They've led for two minutes and nine seconds in those seven hours of hockey on that sheet of ice in Vegas. That's abhorrent. you know what it is that's shitty hosts try and make a guest feel like they are at home no good two minutes and nine seconds uh let's go to the hl flames we already showed you the vegas injury situation from a cloud loss so we'll skip right ahead to the wranglers in action they were at the dome with the flames on the road and Alex gallant check out this

little tilly at center ice he was uh not enthused he was shooting the old dukes do you know i'm cleaning it up for you Is this round two for Alex Galant two fights tonight? There's Sandra Prasina. That girl, Sandra. So we all oversize each other up for a bit here, retro. This is the Silver Knights, Vegas's affiliate. 5-11. Oh, plans on there.

And there's another. Jeez. I do believe Alex Galant has done that to Mr. Marino previously in the this career. Lace is out, Dan. 2019, I was in Iowa. I think it was Marino and Gullin. Ooh, he drilled him. And you know what else happened that night? The guy got like that's that fight. Do they have a concussion spotters? Because again, I think it was Marino. I could be wrong. But whoever he was fighting in Iowa, Iowa a few years ago, he absolutely. cocked him, knocked him silly, and he kept playing. And I'm like,

take a look at that. Make them pass the test at least. 5-4, they fall in overtime. They give one point, give two to Henderson in the H.HL Battle of Fis, Cockery. Okay. Connor Bernard, Rhett, a little bit overblown. That was the quote yesterday.

So now that you've said that, We're going to drill you over the head with a tack camera every day with more Bader's. For him to decide. Hey, hey, look, we report you decide. You present the data. So here's some more data on Connor Bredart. 50 games this year between the Western League and the juniors. 61 goals in 50 games.

73 assists in 50 games. And this might be the most impressive one for me. 325 shots. That's six and a half shots a game. Six and a half. Good Lord, man. past the puck. Oh,

overblown. I'm buddies with his ex-head coach, David Strews. And I mean, Strudel told me he, it's not a two-way player. Don't play one-ended-place. Patty Kane would be just fine in anyone's roster, right? I got to teach you to play, I got to teach you to play at both ends of the, all the ends of the ice. All over the ice. He can't, he can't be just a one-way player.

Connor Bader to one-dimensional player signed David Stroosh. Thanks, rats. Just burying another. Geez. Don't be a dumb ass. How about that? Where's that option? I know you're flirting with breaking Gretzky's record here, Connor.

But if you could just play a little D, don't worry about the points. Backtrack a little more on. Yeah, come on. You're F3. You've got to hustle back. Come on now. You know what? How excited truly is one team going to be?

Well, here are the teams. My God. Let's get the graphic right now because this is a projected finish to the standings. So Anaheim now has taken over pole position. The Hawks are blowing this, Dino. They're on a bit of a heater here. Columbus still right in the mix. Montreal, man, you got Slovkoski.

You ever needs a Badaard. Yikes. And the coyotes have played themselves into a really small number here as well. They might have been the clubhouse's favorite at the beginning of the season to be in the Badard soup steaks. I just don't know how I feel about any of those teams. Chicago's the only one that works for me central time. How far? How far out are the flames?

Like if Buffalo's close, the flames can be? They're probably on pace. for 90 plus points. So five from there. I mean, they're not going to get 90 though. Yeah, they might. The problem isn't how far they're out in points. It's how many teams they have to pass. If you want to take the analogy we use in the regular standings to flip it upside down. You could be real bad, but there's a lot of teams that are going to be bad. So that's a look at your bad. Is there any any party that says, how about Vancouver? Yeah, I would love to play for the Canucks, right? Yeah. It's his favorite team.

He's a North Van North Shore Winter Club guy. Like that'd be a dream come true for him. I think it's probably a little bit shitty for the league in the sense that you don't want your next superstar playing in Pacific time. But I mean, it's a lottery. Well, do you want the cap to go up? I know about 32 GMs that care about the cap going up. It's cold outside. That's what I care about.

Cares about the price of diesel. I got you. Check this up. Speaking of Vancouver. Gino Oject, we mentioned his passing. The Canucks can do a great job. job. There's your practice jerseys you've seen the league going crazy with them, which I think is awesome. More personality in the game always good. These are tributes to Gino Ojc and designed by Jay,

his cousin, an Algonquin artist. And if we could zoom in, these are looking pretty slick. It kind of looks like the skate, but it's got a thunderbolt and some feathers on it. I like those colors. I just wish they'd start doing real jerse. You're not just prakies with these things, but it is the NHL. There's very few. Look at that. That looks nice. There's very few swings and misses with these. Oh, like you're getting... These warm-up jerseys that they're doing. There's no more like Walmart pajamas. Remember when the flames did the Walmart pajamas?

Like, that was a huge swing. Miss. You don't see that anymore. Very nice to tie in both, obviously, with Ginoogic, beloved out there. Yeah, awesome. We mentioned the Ryan Johansson injury and the McLeod Law Injury Report, so we will switch gears.

Yeah, there's 12 weeks. Right leg. Not ideal. I'd text him, but I think he's. He doesn't call the wrong number. He changed his number. You know, I feel bad when we miss anniversaries, Rhett. I mean, have you ever missed your anniversary with the shoveler?

How do you feel about that? I got pretty good. If I miss one, I can do the other. I got two. So I'm good. I'm usually, you got two. See, that's a good setup. Good backup plan.

Mine is really close to the kid's birthday. That always keeps me dialed in. We missed a big one yesterday, and that's on me, because I'm the guy that compiling the Pender, one day late. Let's all have a chortle together as yesterday was the three-year anniversary of the Leafs Zamboni driver being in the men. Hey, way to go. That's nice.

Yeah. I mean, nothing bad came out of this except his wife's on Twitter all the time now, thinking that he's still in the league. Like, no, no, no. He was a Zambooney driver. He's not in the PA, honey. And then everybody knew what eBug was. Yeah, EBOC. What's an EBO?

EBO. EBO. If it happened against, you know, Anaheimone on a Tuesday, we wouldn't have heard the story, but, you know, Leaves, so. Now, that's said. I mean, we don't like that one because it's the Leaves or whatever. I don't know. You like all of it.

There was something that it was just too much because there's so much coverage. That kid in Edmonton that went in. Yeah, that was great. That was awesome. It's happened in Vancouver, Chris Levec and Jordan White, two guys that went in. Cron was too drunk and couldn't do that one time. He was splayed out on the ground for the flames. but yeah they're cool stories this one just was i don't know it was like ram down our throat too much

no one no finally guys you're going to love this ret and dean i think you'll appreciate it too john crook of the fillies you remember oh yeah he's got one fella so he uh sorry what was that he's got one nut not sure that comes up here but he's going to give us a tour of the philly's room which um i just it screams boom and red lost in the training room. See these weights and everything, this is the modern player. These weren't here when I was here because we didn't lift weights. We lifted pitchers of beer. I can tell you where everyone set. It was like a ritual every night. This was my seat right here. And actually when I would walk in after the game,

there'd be two pitchers of beer here, a pack of cigarettes, and an ashtray right here, of course, with the health of the players now, none of them do that stuff. Lenny would sit back here in the corner with about 50 towels bunched up around him and eating watermelon and spit in the the seeds all over the floor but he would use the towels there to spit his tobacco juice in. There was a training table right there. Darren Dalton sat there. All he had on was the sliding shorts, no shirt because, you know, he had that great body and everyone was jealous. Mitch always came in here and set and told us how great he pitched, so we knew that was a lie. Dalton and Hollins and Dykstra used to come back here after games there, like every other, every other home game, and they would come in here and lift weights and you know, and I would sit here with it with

with a beer and an ashtray and can't understand why they were grunting and sweating and like trying to build their bodies up when we just had to play again the next day I thought you know rest would be better but this is where we all set and we stayed here till you know two three four in a morning talking baseball this is the play this is the burial ground we all got buried in this room and it was the greatest place this is where our team came together this room is the the greatest room ever serious right good in the room that's good kind of guy isn't that awesome It used to, it's so true, too. Like I used to, they had a hot tub in the training room here in Buffalo,

and you used to come in, take your gear off, because then the stupid meaty would come in, boom, and ask stupid questions. So you'd get out of the dressing room as quickly as possible. You sure as hell weren't going to go into the gym. So into the hot tub and Pizza Telly, our trainer, he'd have a couple cold ones sitting there waiting for you. Here you go, big boy, just lounge it, arms up.

It'd be pretty fun being a pro athlete, wouldn't it, Dean? Boy, I'll tell you what. And so many of those names, I think people obviously, it'll ring because they played the Blue Jays. Well, it's serious. But Lenny Dykstra, I mean, that guy, a despicable human. And I can only imagine how many people have incredible Lenny Dykstra stories. Because, of course, he's eating watermelon and spitting seeds on the ground and spitting his chew on the, like, just an animal. On the towels.

Just an animal. You're in Dalton. There's some names there. Mitch Williams, the wild thing. Yeah. I like it. That's good stuff. I can deal with some more junk.

You know, these kids now, you can't have ashtrays and smokes in the room. The player's health today. With this player's health now, you know. Delicate flowers. Kids today. Damn and decent exposure. Son of a. Damn it.

That's it, fellas. There's a little trip down memory land for you. At somehow, some way on the Pinder Report. There you go. Hey, Village Honda. Do they want to buy your car? Need those used cars on the lot. You can sell them yours and get paid in 24 hours.

I have to do it. Yeah, before we sign off on today's program. Sorry. I can't clean it out. This asshole can't get the game time right.

And, hey, I can't do Afterburner tonight because my wife, my wife, my darn wife, gosh, my wife. It's going to be rough on tonight. My wife left town last week, had to take a couple days then. Yeah, I get it, man. What do you do it from my car, driving? I do, you know, the commitment I have, I put my life at risk to... It's unparalleled to commitment.

I wish you had Rett's level commitment. Thank you, James. What are you going to? We are going to Vance Joy, who she particularly enjoys with another couple of a couple. Vance strippers? The second time I'll see Vance Joy in Calgary.

Ship andales? Chippendale dance or? No, it's sappy guitar, vocals. I'd rather go with like tan man to go see the far side or some hip hop group or so tan man he's got some he's an eclectic tastes retro he's a tan man he's a hip-hop he is a hip-hop he's a whacked out hippie so i get to see vans joy again with my wife you know they say the second time you see a guy is he an ozzy prick this vans of course he's an ozzy prick oh good luck at ozzie she's trying our boy what's an ozy brad get to ask ozy brad if this guy's worth

I don't want that shortened.

I don't get any nose and my nose don't even have to be muttered. They're not, I'm not requested of. There's a bit of a difference in the power dynamic I'd suggest, but in your relationship than mine. Is there even kind of a, like a, kind of a testing out phase by the shovelers, it kind of a, do you think, maybe, and then she's listening for grunts or certain noises that you would make to try and see where you're up? I would expect she has her own, yes.

subterfuge and way of figuring out whether this is an approachable topic. Feels like a perfect segue, doesn't it? Yeah, it's time for Ask Grant to presentation of Hope Street. Property Management, save your time. Let Hope Street go to work for you, manage tenants, find premium rental rates for you. You rest easy knowing that your property is safe and protected. You can book a virtual meeting online. Let Hope Street get to work for you.

Canada's property manager of the year locations Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary, Hope Street.ca. Let's get into it. We've invited people to email in the email address, ask ret at flamesnation. com. I'm going to bring this closer. I can't see shit. You're so blind.

Don't even have access to this email account. I don't think it's fair. We had a screenshot of Afterburner last night and someone said, hey, Pinder brought his grandpa. I thought, oh, that's just mean because he didn't have your shades on. I see. Now, if you had the email, would you open it? No, you wouldn't have it his phone.

Not on my phone. Not on my phone. No chance to get in there. I actually thought of a segment today about emails because you get 800 million emails, right? And we should actually go once a month. We should have an email segment where you pick your best three of the month and go, look at this. Like, what kind of moron do I have to be to fill? fill out this request for bank info to get my refund.

Like, just takes one. It's one Dale Talon and that guy's made his money. That's all you need. The amazing penis enlargement email that has, you know, we gotta have that. Fill out that for him too. Like pills, enhancement, women, dating. Oh yeah, let's go.

So what are you guys saying? Those aren't, those aren't legit emails. Those are, this one's coming from, uh, Coming in hot from Saskatchewan. From Sask. All the way from Sask. Whereabouts? It's from Mark.

It is from Elfross. The location of your yak farm. Oh, wow. Retro's yak farm chiming in today. Retsky, my fiancé thinks it's ridiculous to have three types of parogis at our wedding buffet. I was going to suggest a fourth dessert parochies. roguy as well, but then got blindsided by the crazy, crazy, oh, I can't believe you're saying, Jesus, the crazy broad's ideas of what should be served at a wedding.

Should I narrow it down to just two varieties, cheddar cheese and sourcrow, or just leave her all together? I had to put my foot down already, insisting we serve prime rib. Now this, I don't know what to do. Thanks in advance. that's Mark from Retro's yak farm out and sad. It's a high pressure time, Red. Mark, it's just what I talked about with Pinder.

You stick to your damn guns, Mark. You just tell her the way it is. There's going to be prime rib and there's going to be three types of prosy. I'm not a big dessert parogi kind of person. I'm not a big dessert guy to begin with. Give her, give up on the dessert parogis. It's three parogies. It's prime rib.

And tell her, stay in your lane, honey. Stay in your lane. You pick the dress, you get all the fancy the flowers, table flowers, you got to have the gifts and the bullshit. Pick the song for the dances. Yes. Know your roll, no, stick in your lane. You do you, I'll do me, prime rib pierogies, and a midnight lunch, right, Mark?

We've got to have a midnight lunch. You're going to have a cold cut. Right? Absolutely. God, the midnight lunch. Yeah. Blocks of cheese, cut up in the jubes and pepperoni. you got yeah yeah isn't that part of what mark no wait i came up with something even better i

came up with something better what's that noise um oh there's someone's someone's one's big that's a lot of clothes uh too much draft beer last night teller fine we'll only have two types of parochies but your midnight lunch is sausage and parochies yeah oh right i'm dying The third serving is sausage. How good would that be, boom? Sausage and parogis at midnight? Thank you. That's what it would be.

You need to swap up the booze? That's the perfect thing to throw. Back home, there's this family. They do the catering and their prime rib. I don't know what they do to it, but it's one of those things. They don't tell people. Yeah. Because it's like, that's kind of our business is what we do.

The prime rib is unbelievable. And then they wheel out more sausage and more prime rib for the midnight lunch. Because that's part of having a liquor license. Don't you have to have to serve food? Depending where you are and what it is. Yeah, often they come with food. All right. I think you should.

Don't tell her that's what you're doing either. You just surprise her with fats of sour cream and sausage and progis right at midnight. Boom. That was very good advice. Yeah. And I don't want. I've got one when you're ready. Prime rib.

I want beef. Okay, well, I'll dip this one in here. Uh, hey, right, currently staying at an extended stay hotel in Hamilton for the next five weeks. Is it okay to wear sweatpants to the complimentary breakfast? Hashtag ret mayor 2026. Spoilers suck. Thanks. That's from Stewart.

Five weeks. You got to get shamed open a home street down in Hamilton. Come on. What are you doing the hammer for five weeks? I've always been against any sort of public sweatpants. But the amount of people I see. roozing supermarkets and coffee shops and movies and malls everywhere you go you get these deadbeat losers in their sweatpants and then you've got the people that think because if they

feel like our boy dubs is due anytime goal dylan dube plus 2 20 and this one hit last night yep and they've not moved this number for andrew manjapani for days two and a half shots is the over under i'm taking the over it's plus money today that line plus 105 over two and a half when you have five shots four shots last night let's go man you get that the first hit in the first period it's unbelievable those are my bets of the day i'm sticking with you dino on the manjapani over two and a half shots i like the plus money there. He's on a roll. That lines roll and they're feeling good after last night. I've also kind of digging the power play vibes. They went back to the old units. They scored three times on five power plays. This isn't just the flames. It's Vegas two.

And to be fair, the flames penalty kills kind of softened up a bit from top sort of five, six in the league down to about 10. Over one and a half, you need two power play goals combined from both teams. Plus 1.30. We're dancing on some plus money today. That way bets of the day. There you go. That way bets of the day.
