Look at them. Does that look like a guy that has emotion? Yeah. Too much emotion. It's in trouble. People shit talking me on social media. His heart, the color of his new hoodie. Just black as tar.

Flames last night pull one out down in Dallas where I hear it's a great town. Frank Cerravelli was telling us about all the time he spent in Dallas. Really? Yeah. In the pre-show. On stars, it's one of what? 30 to 32 markets while he's been an insider. So you know the ins and outs, where to be, where not.

A thrilling finish. I was telling Red on Afterburner last night, sitting at my little kind of station, and I'm like a little work area there. Everything, got the TV, watch watching the games. I'm going to watch the game. I'm going to go to overtime. I'm just going to refresh my memory on this overtime record. And as I do one of these,

I see on the screen, Calgary 5, Dallas 4, like four seconds left or whatever. Hmm. What did you miss there? Pivot back and, because it's just on a slight delay. Oh, I see. I was going to say, you have a sound like. And there's the pass.

How is this going to work? Because it's in the corner behind Markstrom. How's this going to happen? And then Zing, Zong, back of the net, game over. It's a pass from you. We were a lovely finish from to Foley. Didn't see it coming. Tough dog.

Damn boy. Damn boy. Damn. That is a folly. Five, four. Flames win it. in the process ending a what? Five game slide?

Yeah, you know. Winless? Is that a slide? Yeah. I think it's points. Oh, yeah. Still windless. Anyway, a back-to-back,

a tough foe awaits them. As we saw on Saturday. Yeah. Oof, snoozy. They are not on... Better than that, please. Please. They're not on a slide, the wild.

They're on the opposite. No. They're on that heater that the flames need to get on to. That's right. Yeah. No, they were. slide about a month ago, but they've pulled up their socks.

They certainly have, Brian. Yeah, they certainly have. We'll talk about all that coming up. We'll get into the game, but Frank Sarajevois is our NHL insider. To get all the dirty sort of details of Dallas, Texas, our NHL insider, Frank Sarah Valley. Good morning, Frank. Good day, Frank. Yeah.

Yeah. Not going there. No, hey. Yeah. Okay. It's up to you. Your choice. I mean, look, it's a good thing my wife's not a hot.

hockey fan so she'd never be watching or listening to barn burner but sure yeah just i had an extended run in my life where i was uh you know 23 years old and just happened to meet a 47 year old on a plane who lived in texas and would make some frequent round trip trips back in the day so it was uh it was a fun time in my life Dallas wow i think it's pretty presumptuous that's actually literally how what my my buddies referred to her literally as Dallas yeah as delis Dallas doing. Going to see Dallas. See, I would have called her Debbie, but I'm going to see.

Debbie, yeah, for sure. Everyone does her know how she felt about Dallas. Well, maybe Debbie was there too. Who knows? Debbie Dallas, I don't know what Frank does in his off time. And pretty presumptuous that you think your wife isn't watching. Come on. Oh, she's definitely not watching.

She has no idea what I do. It's the best. A couple pieces of beef cake on the program, like Boomcat and the Redster? Come on. Damn, boy. She's just got this thing on mute. She's loving it. She might check in.

She might check in. How do you think? You see Rhett there in his new hoodie? I heard he was shirtless this morning cooking some bacon. Wow. What? Good sources. It's the only way to cook bacon.

You'll ruin your shirt if you don't have. Insider. Insider says Rhett was cooking bacon shirtless. The only way to cook. Yeah. If you're not splattering oil at 400 degrees on your chest, what are you doing? See, I just thought you were naked with an eight. I thought that's the bare rack, your hog hanging out with, but just the apron on.

You could get very badly burned. No, I had my G string on and that was in front of the oven and away we went. It was good. The apron says kiss the cook. It's just so desperate. The cook? Friday trade deadline day. All, again, source is telling us.

Good job on the marathon on Daily Face Off. You and your crew, good job. We had a day. We tried to keep it on the rails. Jay Rose Hill, I'm telling you, Calgary Firefighter, you need to get him in studio. I don't know if he's sick to our level. He's a Leafs Nation, you know. He's an absolute beautician, and I'll tell you this.

There were a couple times when I felt like I needed to distance myself from the program, as the program was ongoing on Friday. You know, we get the brother swap, the Nick for Brett Ritchie trade. And I said, oh, man, it's amazing. You think about this, you know, they can just, you know, one can move right into the other guy's condo. And, you know, Rosso without missing a beat pipes up. And he goes, oh, could you imagine if these two guys are wife swappers, too?

Jesus. Brother swap. Like, I have like, I am not, not. out here. You're not getting that on with James Duffy. You know what I mean? That's not the stuff you're getting with. And we don't have commercials.

So, I mean, look, it sounds like a win. How's the insider camp? You hammer like some sort of a Philly cheese steak at halftime there? It's four hours. It's a big broadcast. Yeah, look, you just, just get through it. No one needs to see me eat. It's not polite.

So what happened with James Van Riemstike? I don't want to go into it because it's ancient history in a way. By the time people listen or watch this, it's days and days gone by. But you're in Philly. And just from what I've been reading, it sounds like Fletcher is getting dragged by the fans that he got nothing for JVR in the end. Yeah, he's gotten absolutely smashed. And the reaction from the Flyers has been, well, you guys are making too big a deal of this. And my counter to that would be you missed a 10-day window to move him.

And it wasn't on Friday in which the trigger should. have been pulled. An accurate read of the market would have been, we're going to take a third round pick for this guy as Tarasenko goes off the board and Patrick Kane goes off. There were so many wingers on the move that with some financial salary cap considerations on James Van Riemsdike 7 million, you can't sit there and say, well, we're going to ask for a second and a third. You need to find a way to move the player for whatever you can get your hands on so that you're not left holding the bag. And I will say, in fairness to the flyers.

It's also a little bit of an indictment that James Van Riems-Dike didn't go on the rest of the league that they weren't as creative as a team like the Minnesota Wildware waiting until 245 Eastern Time to grab John Klingberg for a fourth round pick. I mean, they had the cap space, they weaponized it, and they added what was, you know,

in previous years believed to be a premier defenseman for next to nothing. The Wild looked like a playoff team, where were the rest of these teams as the Flyers were sitting there with nothing in their hands at 2.45 to do the same with James Van Riemsdike? Or maybe that's an indicator of how hot the market was for James Van Riemsdick. We talked about yesterday. I think in his last 12 games, he's got one goal or something, not exactly upping his trade value. Yeah, but look, he's still one of the better net front scorers in the league. His hand-eye coordination, he's got Joe Pavelski like tipping some. skills and he's not afraid to stand there and take the abuse. He's never been fast.

That's never been his calling card. But if you actually watch him up close, there's facets to his game that make him valuable to a playoff team. And I, you know, it was a miss all the way around. It was a miss for teams not stepping up at the last minute, but it was a bigger miss for the flyers not shipping him out 10 days ahead of time. We talked about this on the show a little bit Yesterday, and Redd, I don't want to speak for you, and I don't know how much of it was just kind of you, you know, tongue and cheek or joking about it, but we saw John Cooper bench the three stars with the Lightning, Point, Kuturov, Stamcoast in Buffalo on the weekend. They respond with a 6-0 beat down by Carolina, no shots on goal for Stamco's. I think Point had one shot on goal. No shots in the

second, four through 40 minutes. A dismal effort, and you just feel like they're kind of that bulletproof team, right? John Cooper, he's one of the best coaches and they got one of the best goal, he's one of the best teams and all of that. Is there something, is there something there something there? You said maybe they're tired of each other. They're tired of him. I don't want to speak for you.

What your take on it? Can't hear you, buddy. Sorry. Typically, I praise Cooper for benching them, but I would have expected to have seen a way better effort. and when you don't get it, it makes me go to something deeper going on here, and are they getting sick of him?

I mean, time will tell, I guess, and it sounds odd to think that way with three straight Stanley Cup finals appearances or whatever, the team that's been lauded as just first class and wonderful, but you do get sick of each other. Every coach, everyone has a shelf life. And I also feel like this is a team that's played so much hockey the last five years that, you know, you can't help but think there's going to be some eye rolling

at regular season stuff. And I don't know that it's like, oh, no, they don't know how to play playoff hockey. They've been kicking their feet up. It feels like they're on a collision course with Toronto. There's not really a lot of upward or downward movement available. I'd understand some fatigue, but I also understand from John Cooper's perspective. You can't let that slide. My gut would be these guys are on the same page when it matters, like April 18 or whatever this postseason tournament's going to start. All right. Thanks. Ryan. Frank, your thoughts?

I would say on a level of 1 to 10, my concern for the Tampa Bay Lightning is somewhere around a six and a half or a seven. And I do share some of the same concerns as RET. Like I don't, I didn't even view Saturday as so much of a benching as much as it was, hey, we're not winning this game. We are, we're punting for Sunday. And when you come out Sunday and you come out Sunday, you get waxed by the hurricanes, that is certainly a bit of an alarming trend. But I share some of the same considerations as Pinder in the sense that this team has proven that they can flip the script when it comes to the playoffs, flip the switch. They've got that ability to turn it on and off. The last couple regular seasons have more or less been meandering. And I do think

there's also a facsimile, a faction, whatever you want to call it, of truth, a shred of truth, in the idea that John Cooper at some point is wearing old. Like we are in like three weeks, we're approaching 10 calendar years of John Cooper behind the Tampa Bay Lightning Bench. That is an almost unprecedented run in NHL history. And I'd have to think back how many coaches actually were on the same bench for longer than 10 years. like you're talking Barry Trots.

How many other guys have done it? The list is not super long. Lindy Ralph, I mean, Al Arbor maybe. How many people hit 10 years? Not that many. Yeah, I'm kind of with you. I don't know if I'm at a six or a seven.

Just because history has taught us, don't be foolish when it comes to the lightning. They are programmed to get it done. Their goalie is still all the world. But that's, I'm with you. At some point, there's just fatigue. And beyond that, there's some other good teams around them. It could be no fault of their own if they don't go to a Stanley Cup final this year.

I just thought it was interesting, not the benching, but the response. And I think they'll be just fine. I was just curious your take on that, given Rett's comments on it from yesterday. That's why I would say the lightning were as aggressive as they were, because they're reading the market with the Tanner-Zan-O trade. and they're saying, if we don't win this year or next year, how soon is it that teams like the devils and eventually the Sabres and the Ottawa senators, they're going to pass us by?

And so we have to take advantage while we can. I love the tenors in O trade. I know everyone was sort of blasting it saying, has Julian Breezwillow finally lost the plot? And my point and response to that would be because of how aggressive they've been, They've got this two to three year window until headman's contract is up. And once that happens, you know, two years from now, whatever that is, Stamcoast is out the door.

I bet you they trade off point, Kuturov, Vasilevsky, every guy that they could possibly move. And don't have this slow bleed out like the National Predators did for five years where you languish in the NHL's murky middle. Get to the bottom as quickly as you can and get all those picks back that you just traded away for all of those star players. and find a way to reboot in three years instead of seven. So it sounds like a smart team would do, doesn't it?

We talked to you, I guess it was leading into the, because we talked to you about the Quick trade to Columbus, and you had said, ah, something's going to probably spin here, and he does end up in Vegas. For Rob Blake, is this, he can't be happy with how it ends up. He started it. It's his thing. He has no control over it.

But the fact that Jonathan Quick could come back and stick it in this took us, It's mouth-watering to think. It's not likely to happen in round one, but a collision course between the Kings and the Golden Knights would be terrific theater now all of a sudden. I got to be honest, and I don't know what he thinks. I can't imagine that he gives a shit.

You don't think there's any part of him that thinks he's got... I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't know. Yeah, I would say, look, when you're sizing up the market, this is always part of your, you know, how does this, you know, end up looking bad for me? That's certainly, there's only a few teams that were in the market for a goalie. And the Golden Knights were one of them. So in an odd way, they actually probably feel really good about it because they've made the clear determination that Jonathan Quick is a number three goalie

in this league. And they're saying to themselves, we've watched this guy up close for a long time. now we know he doesn't have it left congratulations and good luck Vegas Golden Knights trotting out Jonathan Quick who we believe is a third goalie as your number one option why about their goalies

who do is get hot for two weeks I crazy things have happened that they have been at the top of it's voodoo that position that they've been at the top of that division with Aiden Hill and Logan Thompson and Lauren Prosswa they really haven't missed the beat

the gardeners who's going in there It's Well, I think about, do you know, if Evanton gets their shit together and win the division, they're on first round close, of course. I mean, Seattle'll have to be in there somewhere, but it's not outlandish at all

that those could square off, and I think that'd be great fodder. So where are we at now? Trade deadline is come and gone. So many, we talked about it last week, what, 12, 13 first rounders moved pretty much every contender or perceived contender

made some sort of move in the east. It sure feels like that's the, the balance. of power. Boston is still seemingly the team to beat. Now what is what is your focus as an insider? What teams are you watching? What potential storylines could be kind of lurking in the weeds here over the next couple of weeks aside from just straight up playoff chase? Well, it cracks me up to hear all the talk about the east because I do think it's going to be a steel cage death match to get through it. But at the same time, you could just as well see Colorado and Edmonton Square

off again in the Western Conference final, McDavid against McKinnon, and you look at it and you go, I'm not entirely certain that neither one of those teams is worse than anyone in the East. Who knows? It's such a weird year. Everyone's down on the West, and all of a sudden, the West wins. That's kind of the way I see it, or I'm looking at it from my end. And also just the path to the final, it just feels a little bit more wide open in the West. And that goes, for those two teams, but for anyone, really. Like, would I be absolutely floored if I woke up in June and Dallas or Winnipeg or one of those teams was in the Stanley Cup final?

I wouldn't be shocked at all. But, you know, the way the East is shaping up, I mean, it's sort of bananas to think about, you know, two of the Devils, Rangers, Keynes, you know, Bruins, Lightning, and Leifes, two of those six are out in round one guaranteed. What's happened to Winnipeg? They've only got two wins in their last 10. Last night, they allow a goal in the final, what, quarter minute to tie it, fall in overtime to San Jose. It's been a tough sliding for a while there.

What's happened to them? Yeah, it's been a six-week slide and 10 games, 38 goals against. That's not going to get it done. and part of that you know i i shuddered to think of of even being critical of connor hella buck because that's really kind of how good he's been all season long but at the same time you know they're really using him a lot he's played back to back both games of back to back sets twice now in the last number of weeks they're really they're pushing him hard and i don't know what the calculus is on that. You guys would be able to speak to it better than me about the way

Markstrom was utilized last year. It just stuck in my head. Jay Woodcroft, Battle of Alberta last year just kept saying over and over again, we did not play our goalie 62 times this year. And I don't know what happened if there's any truth to that, whether it's just the Oilers being in Markstrom's head, whatever it might be. It's been ugly for Markstrom since. And Hellebuck, he's been used so much. I have real concerns for a team that's, they can score, but they can't defend.

It's pretty problematic. I always played him a ton, though, right? That's the thing. He's been one of those workhorses like a Vasilevsky, Osoros, where you just see a ton of them. It's not new for Hellabuck. And Riddick, they can't trust. You see last night, he's in his own head.

It's not been a good couple of years for David Riddick, who still has a job in the NHL, but I feel like that grip is pretty, it's hanging on by fingernails. Because for the Flames, they get that win last night. Huge goal by To Foley, they win 5'4. And now they're in Minnesota tonight on a tough back-to-back. But they have played...

The old NHL, Dallas, Minnesota back-to-back. We haven't seen that in a while. Don't ever want to see it again. That's a brutal one. Yeah. For a Flames fan that's watching or listening right now, from your perspective, as hockey follower, you're an insider and all of this, what's the gap, what do the flames need to accomplish for you to say they're back in it,

they've got a shot? Because I think a lot of people right now feel like the math is, it's just, they need to go on a run like they've not done all season, and they need to do it right now, and they need some help. Is there a point, what needs to happen for you, whether it's, because you look, they're back of Colorado. Well, Colorado's got games in hand, and I just don't see how that maybe it does. But realistically for you, what's the path here for the Calgary Flames to get in if there is one? I couldn't help wonder going to sleep last night if that To Foley goal was potentially season saving. Like there's so much work to get through to get to that point.

I think in order to really even begin having a realistic conversation, this team needs to reel off five straight wins. And maybe it starts with the game on Monday night. Maybe it doesn't. But the math is otherwise so daunting. You need so many things to come together, so many things to buck the trend of what this team has been. You need saves from Markstrom.

You need actual confidence in the third period for once. That if you have a lead that you're not going to fritter it away. I don't know where this team is going to find that confidence. They looked like a broken team over the weekend on top of, you know, the shattered elements that we've seen to this point already. I don't have any proof, anything tangible to grab on, but you just wonder if something like last night maybe gives you a bit of a shot in the arm to think that it's still possible.

Only if they win tonight. Yeah, I said, wake me up if they win five in a row. Yeah. Yeah. If they win tonight, then they've got, you know, I said last night, the strength of schedule isn't anything because it's going to come down to how hard this team works and competes. But if they don't win tonight, I think you're just too far back. But if they win, they do have games that if they show up, they can put some points together. I wanted to highlight something that I saw on social media yesterday, Alex, if you can throw it up.

this tweet appeared to be about as about as subtle as a heart attack Jonathan Huberto assist after coming down the right side on his off wing and getting pucks on net oh Alan Walsh is this the guy that had a hundred and some points last year playing on left wing that's been at right wing for the last 15 games 15 he's been there forever okay Yeah. He hasn't played left side.

Whatever the number is, it's an insane. Yeah, well, like, but like think about the logic in that. There's a lot of things that have been logical. We've seen a lot of the fourth line in the final three minutes of the game. So to summarize, the point you're making is. I freaked out yesterday, Frank, that there's no logic in anything the flames. Organization has done for many years. All I'm saying is this was not nearly the Zinger that you guys talked about a few weeks ago.

But this maybe is actually more impactful in the sense that it raises a really good question of no one's really been asking it. Why is Jonathan Hubertoe playing on the right side? Why was he playing with Luke each for six weeks? Why did they switch the lines after a five and two start? I mean, there's a lot of whys on the coach this year. A lot of them. I mean, if I'm not mistaken, this was the second team NHL All-Star. So the second best player at his position last season on the left wing and set an NHL record for most points ever by a left winger.

I hadn't really even thought of it until I saw this tweet. Like what why hasn't this been talked about? I never thought of it either. But if I was Jonathan Huberto and I didn't like playing the side I've been on or supposed to be on, I'm a veteran guy. I talked to the winger on my other side, and as soon as the effing puck is dropped, we're switching. Like old school, yeah, that's like actually what my kids do and ate you hockey.

Like I'm like, you go over here. Like, no, no, no, no, we're going to go do this. Yeah. Defense, come on, coach. Yeah, we got a lot on the go here, Frank. There's too many issues that have cropped up in flames land for our liking. Which is not to say that's nothing, but you can add it to the, you can add it to the pile if you want.

list of yeah i i don't i think i mean riddle riddle me this yeah help help me understand this lineup card yeah nick ritchie you like probably playing for his career yeah good luck i think put him on the right side put him in the raft walker i freaked out yesterday they can't score goals and You play Trevor Lewis and Luchich. Well, that's... Talk about the insanity quote from Mr. Walsh. Like, what the... This makes lots of sense.

There hasn't been rationale. When I go back and I'm starting to get mad again. I'm the old man yelling. Giordano. Fricking... Who's the kid defenseman that's in... Got me wound up yesterday. Oh, my God.

Connor. Shut off. No, they got rid of Mackey left, which they said, well, he's... was going to be better than Valamaki and we never gave Valamacki he was going to be our number one defenseman and to take Giordano's spot at one point and then he never played a game and we can't find a way to get him in the lineup and he's horse shit so let's let him go anyway it's a repeated yesterday quite literally booted Mackey to Arizona then the GM should say kiss my ass you

don't get to like if we don't want that then what the is the GM adding fair question like and if the players for being lazy pricks we get we give the GM shit and we give the coach shit give the players shit who's supposed to win the cup who gets the praise when they go out and play hard the players who gets paid the players who doesn't take any shit when things go south the players always sound like is the oilers six seven years ago change the coach change the coach change the GM it's the coach it's a G a G. No show up and play you lazy bastards Spent a lot of that the last two months Frank

A lot of that it's good to get it off your chest I've enjoyed it yeah You don't want to bottle that stuff up man yells at Cobb yeah it's good Thanks for the tweet appreciate that there it is yeah old man yells a cloud Have a great not to just drop that and run but I just figured I'd hey that Like I said that tweet was about as subtle as a heart attack. Yeah. Beautiful, Frank.

Thank you, buddy. Have a good week. See you guys. Frank Cervalley, NHL Insider. Yeah. I mean, listen, I didn't really spend a lot of time thinking about it. I was just more focused on why it wasn't working. Guy didn't seem to be.

Certainly doesn't seem comfortable. Whether that's because he's on the other wing, I just can't imagine that there's a 75 point fluctuation in that. that. Sorry. I know what Walsh is he looking electric on the power play where you can put them on either wing, but no.

But you would think if you were bringing in a high powered player. Yeah. You'd put it in a half cornerstone of your team. Play where of the F you want. Just produce. Should produce. And then to call them out, I will give Daryl's shit for that.

Our top guys aren't good enough. If that's part of the issue and you've said, no, you stay where I tell you to play. Childish. Panthers Jonathan Huberto sets NHL record for assists in a season by a left winger. The story from Daily Face Off a year ago. It's early. She set the record a year at this point.

Not much season left. Yeah. Hey, coming up on Friday, it is Hawaiian Shirt Day, but also it is game day for the flames at the dome. Anaheim Ducks are in town and Matt Red Rose Pub has tickets for you. We will be giving them away here at the next Tuesday.

Hey, Pindra Report coming up. What do you got today? Lots of reaction from last night. We may have a case of mistaken identity and we've got some very old footage of a protege young ret that was sent in by a belief's parents. Oh, really? I don't want to miss it today. Sound right. Let's

Memory Lane. You ready for a little trip? Yeah, let's do it. A little trip down memory lane. McLeod Law, they've been a part of Calgary for a long, long time. They love Calgary, their roots run deep. They like to celebrate everything that's about our city. And part of that, of course, is the Calgary Flames.

A couple things as we go down memory lane with McLeod Law today. One of them, a highlight. One of them may be not so much, although it's debatable. So we go back to March 6th. seventh this day in 1988 what was maybe i i don't know i you'd have to talk to somebody that was very much in the in the mix then but what turned out to be a pretty big and significant trade as it turned out the calgary flames pick up rob ramage and rick wamsley from the st louis blues in exchange for steve bozek and bret hull hull brett hull brett hall it's grown to be uh yeah one of

the greatest goal scores of all time. Now, you talk to guys like Mike Rogers, Peter Marr, you talk to guys, you talk to people on that team. Rob Ramage came in was a big part of that team. That maybe they, because of course, 88, very close to winning a cup, that whole thing. I don't know. Could you maybe have not thrown haul into that trade?

Could you still get it, Rod Ramich. Flags fly forever? You know, I guess so. How many cups did Holwin? Not in St. Louis. Did he win one in Dallas, Rhett? Good question. Rett would have been around that time.

Oh, shit. He scored the end. So anyway. So anyway, Brett Hall in the, they have a very, we brag about the alumni here in town, the Flames alumni, St. Louis also has a very strong alumni. Hall was at a Blues Hall of Fame dinner hot stove thing recently, and he was asked about getting called into the coach's office,

getting called in as a member of the Calgary Flames and getting the news, he'd been traded. Trade. And I looked at him and I said, tell me it's somewhere good. And he goes, well, we've traded you to the St. Louis Blues. And I'm like, well, I don't, you know, it's America. So that's, I go, that's really, that's a good start. There's only one, Red Hall.

And he was truly a Canadian kid, right? Like Canadian-born? Yeah. You know, we're dad and all that. Played his junior in Penticton. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But he was very happy to go to America.

I feel that's going to be Matthew Kachuk at some point in about 20, 30 years down there. So I get called in. I tell Trey, send me to America. Send me somewhere with sunglasses. Anyway. Anyway, so it was 1988, on this date. Brett Hall shipped out of town. I got whole trivia.

Do you? He's the only guy ever to score 50 in junior. Yeah. college, which is hard to do. I don't play a lot of games. HL and the NHL. Incredible. Incredible stuff.

50's a lot. Well, you play 42 games in college or whatever he played? That's insane. Well over a goal per game. He had 105 or 6 in junior in 60 games. And then 50 in the 8. It's like, why isn't the guy called up? How do you score 50 in the age?

We'd call up before he gets 50. Well, he was with the Moncton Golden Flames. And then the next year he was a full-time flame and then off to St. Lou. He's one of those. guys. It'd score a few in the NHL too. It's the pick four guys, pick three people to go and have dinner with.

I feel like Brett Hall might be on my list just because he's got so many stories. His dad was Bobby Hall. What kind of upbringing? What kind of experiences did this kid have from the time he was one year old kind of a thing?

He's got the full spectrum of good and bad. He loves the booze, loves the party, loves the whole thing. I think he's probably got a few a few tails. Cut some doozies, I'm sure. Yeah. Do you ever get drunk with Brett Hall? Or is he kind of...

Nope. I've never really been to brown Brett Hall, to be honest with you. And think about how sour he was when he saw Jonathan Taves in Vegas with the cup. He never even had to play against Jonathan Taves. It's true, yeah. And how sour he was at Taves.

Imagine seeing Brett. There's some history. We don't want to get into it. There's no way. You Google it. Sour puss. You want to. is why Rhett would be sorry.

Also on this date... Call that while you're at it. Tell him, Rhett says I. March 7th, 1989, our buddy, Lanny MacDonald. Look, come on.

Became the 23rd player to ever hit the 1,000 point plateau. Look at that photo. Look at that photo. What a beauty. From 1989 on this date, the flames beat the Jets,

9-5. Suck it Jets. He scored. He got 0.1,000 and then 1001 in the third. His mustache matches the jersey. It is beautiful. It does. It blends right in.

He looks like a baby chick. You know, he's all fuzzy. Look at him. We should have had Peter Marr because didn't Peter Marr keep, like, journals or all of his notebooks on his notes of every game and every day? Yeah, this date in flames history. He's got everything. Like, what are you?

filing cabinets full of stuff, game notes and all that. So, yeah, Lanny hit 1,000, and then 1,001. So a two-point effort in the 95 win. Finished with 1,0006 points in 1,011 games. I feel like you had a good goal in the playoffs, too, yeah. And then in the playoffs, played in 14 games, had one goal. And at four points, the goal, you may remember. It's kind of a big one.

Significant. Yeah, kind of big. Also, Lanny trivia. 50 goals in college. No, 50. No, it's better than that. For players that did not hit 100 points in a season, Lanny has the most goals with 66 past the pucklani.

Boy, a puck hog, eh? I didn't know that. It seems like a friendly guy. You had 66 goals and you didn't get 100 points. Isn't that crazy? You're wingers. So there's two pieces of trivia. You can take to the water cooler today?

You want guys? suit first. That shot first mentality. Lanny's always subscribed to it. You fit in right now. Could you just suit up Lanny? We take you. McLeod Law, little memory lane for you. Call Peter Klein. Personal injury lawyers, if you're unfortunate, you've had an injury workplace, whatever the case is, and you need some help to navigate through your legal, your insurance, your medical claims, it can be overwhelming. Peter Klein is here to help. McLeod Law, McLeod,

Dashlaw.com is the website. His email is P-Kline, P-C-L-I-N-E at MacLeoddashlaw.com. You can get the best in the business on your side. Nothing like having a great teammate, having a great leader for you. It's got your back. That's right. And they do more than that. You're getting picked on.

Someone to protect you. That's right. Peter Klein's the guy. All right. MacLeod Law. Social media, all of their platforms at McLeodlaw LLC. If you want to go that way as well. LLC, but your eyes are bad, and it says LLP on all their...

Does it? Yes. And you've been doing it for weeks, and I'm sorry I should talk to you about that. Well, why don't you've... I just did. I couldn't do it anymore. I just keep saying, I'll talk to him after the show. And then I keep forgetting.

When you're an idiot, I tell you straight out. There's different approaches. Yeah. Do the Pinder report. See if we can. Could you? Let's do it. Yeah.

For Village Honda. Our good pals. Yeah. Tell me more. Well, Village Honda, they're going to give you cash. Right quick. Yeah. Like 24 hours you want hard cache.

Why is it? Well, there you go. Why does he assume that whenever it's the Pinder Report, he's not part of the show. It's been this way for fucking years. Is it that boring that he leaves? I don't understand. I feel like it's an entertaining part of the show. It's like, oh, it's not a monologue.

I actually had a fight for him to break down tonight. Well, yes. Yeah. Well, we'll start with the flames in Dallas last night for Village Honda, the Pinda Report. See the phone number there. 4-0-3-4-07, 2021. Do the old QR scan, say hello. With the new accord coming in, you said?

It's going to be good. What do you do? You give me that face. What? Warner. Yeah. Teammate, right? Good in the room.

What a teammate. Problem is the room's in Buffalo. I hope he shit his pants. I hope that's what happened. I hope he tried a left-cheek sneak and he dropped some in his drawers. Crazy things have happened. It would explain the...

Sorry for the vulgarity village. The irritable mood might be related to the irritable bowel. It could be. Yeah. She's just all around. Flames entered action last night in Dallas. Just so close to the Badaard. Badaard?

Playoffs. Badaard? Yeah. A loss could get them in position to win the draft lottery? What? Because only the top 10 teams can. So they're that close to the bottom 10 in the NHL. All they needed was a Washington point.

and a loss to the Dallas stars. I don't know. I see some of the fan base going that way. Oh, Dallas better score here on this power play. We need to loss. And then like, come on, guys, if they get hot, there's still a chance. I feel like this is a very divided fan base right now, do you know? You know what, though?

They are, but no one really thinks there's a realistic shot of getting badard. Everyone's just sour because they wish it was... Well, we've seen the script before. We know where this is going to end. They're going to be ninth in the West, peak sadness. That's right. We've seen it a million times. What, what, what?

How are you? Are you okay? What were you? Like, I get a little snack, yeah. Deuces are wild. What's going on there? Do you need me 24-7? Like, is it like, two hours a day, but good.

And what, like, oh, what did you do yesterday? Did you go off screen for a split second? Oh, it's okay for you. God forbid that Rhett leaves during the Pinda report. Rhett, I'm going to need you to do a little case. of doppleganger or the same guy. This is from the broadcast last night in Dallas as one dude was just chewing the shit out of his nails.

Is that the guy that got absolutely stu- That's the guy that got punched? Isn't it? Right? Now the hairs, like it's that same hairstyle for sure. And look, that's the third. Oh, look at that. What's he got in there?

Oh, settled down. Just hungry. Left over. So that's from last night. And then, oh, remember this? That was him falling back after taking to write. And we got a better photo of him as well, where his hair is up from the impact. Is that the same cat? Does he have two different Dallas jerseys?

Well, same hair. Huh. Maybe that's just the move right now. Maybe that's Texas. You go Wade Boggs, just mullets. Shave those sideburns maddingly right up the top there and then mullets. Is he taking it like nice and tight on the side there too? It's real tight. That's quite a drape. He's got at the back. All right. So not, Jesus. Remember how well he took that punch red? Oh, man.

He took it like a chance. That 50-year-old dude probably drives a truck for a living, just fed him one. Look at a dude, full follow-thru. It looks like he's out there. He bounces right back up.

Yeah, he does. It's like one of those air, those balloon clown things, just pop right up. So that caught my eyes. There was also this was pretty good as well. A final, you know, 10 seconds of play. Flames tied after blowing two to two goal leads.

one on the third one on the third pass from Euberdale right side 6.2 nice D, Dallas damn boy

now he's even step for step at the red line and he finishes that he's got the mo that's a lovely finish from a guy full speed

not only racing against 2D but the clock as well he's not got great boots either to foiling on pace for 33 this year that would be a career

high although in the lockout abbreviated season he had a much higher pace than that that he just didn't play 82. It's been a great year for Tyler Tophole. And you and I both talked about it in the off season, like, what's this guy going to look like? Like, the boots aren't great.

He really didn't click last year for whatever reason on a line with Kelly Yarncroke and Dylan Dubay or something like that. It was like, where does he fit? Well, he's fit real nicely on the right side of that top line. And there's a lot of people around him that have not had great years. Correct. You would think the environment, the atmosphere would be ripe for a subpar season,

he's been very good. Damn boy. That's right. Damn boy, he's been good. You know that, eh? Yeah. Now they liked him a much at all. They looked him in Vancouver.

They liked him in L.A. Lime's fans liking him in Calgary. I don't know why the hell isn't his goal song. Yeah, playing some Bonnie Tyler. I need a hero or something. What are we talking about? That's going on there. That's a huge foul.

Figure it out. All right. Afterburner, it was you and Rhett. Who was the most corpse zombie-like and exhausted and with the worst effort? How would you grade yourself versus Rhett last night, boom? In fairness, time change. So even though 6.30, it's an early game for us. Like in there.

It's still kind of late by the time the game's over. And I think Rett's mood dipped when it was looking like overtime. Yeah, stuff like this is, please, though, overtime. I had faith it wasn't going overtime. I was just assured they'd allow another, never mind, score another. Yeah, it felt like it, right? They're committed to this one-ball loss thing.

Talk about Nick Ritchie. I'd sit that prick tonight just because of that penalty. Two and a half left at a Thai hockey game. Fucking dumb is that. What are you doing, dude? That's called every time. Idiot. Nice cool, though.

Welcome to Calgary. And dangerous. And dangerous. Yeah, could have hurt someone. Here's Afterburner last night. night. Red 10. Boom,

cat, talking about Nick Ritchie, I think. Yeah, we're not. Can't have enough Nick Ritchie in our lives. Apparently we're too much.

We'll move on. Yeah, that's fine. Move on. To Foley, with that game-winning goal with 6.2 seconds, joins Flames, a pretty exclusive list

of late goal winners here. 1954, 1953, what do we call it with 6.2 seconds left? I don't know, but there's a board here we've got of the latest goals

of all time. on that cowboy if you want. Boom's got no chance there. Corey Stillman, Jerome McGinla, the only two players that have scored game winners later, Stillman with four seconds left, 59, 56, and Jerome did it also with four seconds left, 5956. 5953, not bad to Foley. Well done. To Foley rushed it, he should have, you know. Are you giving no tips for the guy that scored with six?

Throw the brakes on and then kind of do it. No, you just score. Don't, yeah. It's like a foot. You don't want to give up to touchdown too early you take a knee you're going to time it out yeah yeah he's you know what he was thinking about he actually had a shot off the face off at an empty net he almost got two in the last seven seconds that's true uh new top line look good they had jacob pelche yeah mm-hmm sutter favorite all of a sudden just had to watch for a couple weeks in the rafters hammer the popcorn what do you look at this all kinds of possession chances

expected goals, two, including the game winner, and tight defensively. Look at that. He gave up almost nothing. And had chances. 1.6XGA. It's expected goals again. So based on the shots they allowed,

there was not much quality out there for the stars when this line was on the ice. That's incredible. Gross fart percentage. They're really good at that. With the great Wayne Gretzky of two goals and then an extra gaunch. Here's your steep.

Dannings. Happy birthday, Jake Peltje, by the way, 22 today. Is he? Yeah, out of boy, Jake. That's a good. Happy birthday, kid. Top line promotions. Keep them up there.

Don't mind that at all. Gritching can go out of the second line. Yeah, you can. Here's your standings in the West. Calgary Flames. Oh, what a night. One point for Winnipeg. Oh, we're there.

Nashville. They choke as well. Still tied with Nashville who hold three games in hand. And don't be fooled by the games played. It's Winnipeg. They're trying to realize. and not Colorado, who have three games in hand on Winnipeg

and one point back. They're six back at Winnipeg. That's how I would view this. That's the team of the tailspin until they can start stringing not losses together. That should be your prime target. You should be salivating,

looking at the jets at this point. Though that's changed. Makes it easier. LA a month ago. Hey, look at this. Oh, go ahead. I was just going to say, three more wins in 18 games.

Does that do it? Three more. 18 games. Yeah, sure, yeah. No, that's, yep. And they go head to head. They got a head to head. I'm looking at it here.

Fifth of April. Mm. Mm. Big one. Big one. Big one tonight against Minnesota as well. And before we get to that, look at this.

I think it was one of your old teammates and someone tough as nails. Is it a birthday today for Eric Goddard? Happy 43rd birthdays. 93 games. Wow. 221 pims and in 93 games, Dino, 23 scraps. Oh, man.

Oof. Hell of a team, mate. That is a ton of fights. You talk about having your back. Peter Klein and Eric Goddard. Yeah, I mean, if it's in a court of law, I'm taking Peter Klein. If it's in the back alley, I'm taking Eric Goddard. Happy birthday, Goddard.

Where does he rank on your power rankings of toughest guys you played alongside, Rat? He had those heavy hands that when he hit you, he hurt you. So he's up there. I mean, Paul Laos had 39 fights in one season. So, and he fought everyone, and he wasn't Eric's size, and he had little tiny mitts on him. Razors, Razor, hard to debate where he falls in. Oliwa had a year with the flames that year.

He was kicking a snout out of a lot of people. Simon was one of the best ever for, a long time. I would think Goddard's right up there. He was a little late to the game as far as that era of tough guy. Do you know what I mean? Like, he played at the end of that tough guy era.

There'd be some teams that didn't have a guy he could fight whereas five years earlier, everyone would have a guy for him, right? Question. Rather than go the one, I'm going to go this way, who was in your mind the most normal guy who was really tough and was a heavyweight. Because we know some of them,

you've got to be maybe a little bit different if that's your thing and you enjoy it. But who is maybe just the most down to earth? I can't believe that this guy goes out there and does this for a living. Well, certainly Christoph Olua was normal, normal competing and just straight shooting down. That's what you'd expect.

It's a dumb media question, right? You handled it perfectly. Rather than who's the craziest, OB you've ever played with. Speaking of fights, Rhett, this is from Saturday in Vancouver where the Leafs and Canucks. They were added on the ice.

I want you to break this down for us. This is a post game. This is a good one. What are you doing fighting in streets? A cowboy there. Barner's in trouble. Ooh, geez. Feeding rights.

It's just a hockey game. That's a good right there. And then watch the guy jumps in in and just gets them right over the top here. That guy's a point. Oh, geez. Oh, shit. Just a tilt outside the old Navy in Vancouver.

That's what I said. It's right by the best by. So I signed my kids up for martial arts. Yeah. So I'm watching this. Last night I was at the, I don't know, I don't think they call it for Jiu-Jitsu, but whatever. I'm like, I'm watching these people. And one of those guys that was at that in the building last night would have tuned in all of these guys.

split second. Okay. Oh, it's embarrassing. People that know how to fight, it's these people, these are junk losers. Yes.

That's correct. Guys that know how don't. Yes. Yeah. Oof. Although dude is throwing some, some heavy rights there. Old plaid shirt's getting a few minutes.

He's throwing hard because the other guys are scared of getting hit. They don't know how to punch back. You know, they'll get that shirt off. Like still, Man. Geno. That tie down going. All right.

David Riddick last night, we told you that the Jets lost. They had a lead in the last 15, 20 seconds. Big Save Dave. Oh, big, save Dave. Didn't like it. They lose early in overtime. Here's Dave coming off the ice. He's going to teach us stick a lesson.

All right. This is from our pal Nick Alberga. Nope. No. Why do I like that so much? He tries to go Bo Jackson. No, not breaking. Sorry.

Oh, sorry with that. And you know that hurts, right? Oh, yeah. And again, it's like the martial arts video where the guy's going to break the bricks or the wood blocks and that nothing broke. And you're like, that had to hurt. Do you think he went and head butted a door down the hallway?

Remember he did that? Yeah, that's not good. Ryan O'Reilly hurt, busted finger. He's going to be four weeks retro. No. He's back. Former Sabre. I know the, yeah.

There you go. LTIR. I can play 9D if they want. They have nine defensemen. It's not even including Mazenu's hurt. The hell are they doing? I want to ask Frank, but you can never have too many D, right? I don't want to talk to about the leaves.

When you go all the way to the cup, fine. We carried nine for a whole, we carried nine for a whole F and C's in my first year. Come on. 26 man roster. Oh, there you go. Yeah. Well, that makes more sense. 23.

That's insanity. Thank God. Or I'd have been in Saskatoon and Junior. A couple of the notes for you. The Calgary Ranglers are. at home today and tomorrow hosting the Colorado Eagles. They were just down there, split a set in Greater Denver. And how about this?

Aaron Rogers and the Jets are flirting, Rhett. The Jets always flirt with old quarterbacks that are going to go to shit. I couldn't care less about the Jets struggling. Give me a kiss, Boob Cat. They've had a chance to draft good quarterbacks for years. not just do that. You could, I guess. They kind of swung and miss on that.

Finally, we've got, I don't know if Rhett's the teacher or this is Redd as a kid, but this somehow came from the Warner family. So how did you get this? Well, I'm not sure. Alex said he got it from Rhett's family, but I don't know if that's the shoveler or if this Red's kid or if this is Rhett when he's young. But yeah, this is Rhett very early.

Skip to the Lou, my darling. That is me. Five years old. This is before your hair went brown. and it's hot cross buns here, right? No. It's not even looking at the keys, this little brat. Prodigy.

Also, funny thing, people are reaching out on socials, just saying, hey, you know, I could really use that Lindholm jersey. Trying to curry favor? Is that what they're trying to do? I mean, geez, you could just send it to me now and it'd save all the time.

Painstake. You're sifting through the back. And hey, you know, Lindholm is my favorite player. You know, I like that jersey and I'd like, don't be a fucking prize pick. 20 people. Like that blonde hag at the casino that night. The prize pig. She was just fucking filling that thing full. Oh, yeah.

Fuck off. This is a radio thing. Hang on. So, Rhett, there's a few things that are as time tested and true. in radio, like it's just always, and it's prizes. And so you get these people that literally spend all day just applying to win prizes, going to events, stuffing ballot boxes, going online to fill out this. Sitting by their goddamn phone to phone in as soon.

I knew a girl in high school, her mom, that was her job, basically. She enters contests. My thing was? She wins all kinds of shit. Because you would just know, the prize pig, you're right. They go everywhere that they're going to be the first caller through. So it'll be like, oh, we're giving away, call the number, blah, bitty blah. And it rings.

Oh, I wonder who that could be. Yeah. Fucking prize. I'm calling for the. Oh, yeah. So what prize are you calling to win? Uh, duh. They don't even know what the, no.

They don't know what they're calling for. They don't know what they're winning. All they heard is something's being given away. I got to have it. And then at the Super Bowl, where you're talking about? Yeah. Some big sweat hog. We're giving them away.

And the sweat hog is going like, oh, I want to know it. you get those like a big thick thing of entries. Ballots, yeah. You write your name on one, rip it off and put it into the goddamn drum. She grabs the whole booklet, sits down at the table. So scratching them.

Mildred, Terwilliger. Mildred, Terwilliger. Hey, Mildred. Take a fucking hike. Yeah. And then she was pissed off. I know, the nerves. Oh, didn't I win? Yeah, I know. It's amazing that you didn't win. Fuck out of here.

Lindholm? Jack Lindholm. Hey, want you to, it's into March, and even though it's chilly outside, we told you the other day, start thinking about,

make some plans, get yourself outside. Why not Jasper? Spring skiing at Marmute Basin. Marmute? Doesn't get much better. Look at that. Marmot Basin,

Jasper. Oh, yeah. We were up there in January? Yeah. It was brisk then. The steps are warming up, warmer temperatures, drinks on the patio,

the escape card, half-priced lift tickets, still in effect. Conditions are still great. They've actually opened some of the new terrain out there, waiting for the warmer days. They're now open. And then you can start even summer, start looking about golfing.

The lakes are thawing, get your canoeing in, your rafting. The sky tram is opening later this month. Sky tram? Yeah, buddy. All right. Plan your summer camping trip. Your front country reservations starting on March 16th,

backcountry opens on March 20th. So you wait, you know, you wait, all winter for this stuff. Slown up with snow. Ready to go. So there you go. Tourism, Jasper, ski marmot basin,

check it out online and start thinking about the good folks at Jasper. They were so happy to see us. Great hospitality. Just Perk Lodge, that's a fancy place. Yep, great,

great hospitality. Eald fashioned. Loved it. Yeah, you really classed up, Pender with a... Hotkecks in the lobby at 2 a.m. Suitcase full of beer. That's...

Yeah, that was at the hot time. It was not my suitcase. That was... I'd see. There's always... It's always... It's trying to help the people. You're a helper.

You're a helper. I just want to help. So what are we thinking tonight? We've established... Better fucking that... We've established that... Who's playing? Who's the goal?

Who's the goalie? They won't skate today. It's going to be Gustafsson. It will be Gustafsson. And now I believe that's 10 of 14? Yeah, I was looking this morning. 10 of 15 maybe? It's been a lot of Gustafsson

who's got some tidy numbers this year. They just picked him up when Cam Talbot put a gun to Bill Garen's head, and I think I know who's better already. Yeah, yeah. Sorry, Alex, about that. They've rotated the last six games, but prior to that, Gustafson had kind of been on a bit of a roll.

6-0 and 2 in his last eight with a 1.3-2 and a 9-56. Shut him out on Saturday. Just fine. Yeah. Just fine. We talked about it last night and after burner. I'll ask you, who do you go within the flames? I think it'll be Markstrom, but I also have never done that Dallas to Minnesota turnaround.

I feel like they want him to get rolling, and while it was four goals last night, night, there was a lot of blemishes in front of them. You know, there wasn't that like, ooh, you can't let that in. I mean, I didn't like the short of getting through, but by all means, don't allow a shorthand a breakaway in that instance as well. That's a nice starter. Well, and you know what?

I'll steal your point from last night, Red, or I'll let you make it. Markstrom did, you know, had to get on the plane afterwards and fly to St. Paul and all that. You know who else had to? Yeah. Dan Vladar. That's right. And they've got Anahim waiting at home on Friday. And that feels like a softer landing spot for Vlodar who struggled his last five or six.

outings. You win, you're in, brother. Yeah. No changes. And they weren't afraid to do that. What was it? The last back-to-back was Vlodar on the, what, Arizona and

Vegas back-to-back? A couple of weeks ago. I don't lose my mind. Because the Arizona game was light workload. Yes, 14 shots. Yeah. So that's not the case after last night,

but I'm with you. Markstrom has looked at or near his best all season here in the last. I laughed. I laughed out loud last night. Look how good he's been. He's like a 9-01 and a goal is against a two and a half. Still needed five to win for me.

But I would. I'd throw him back in there and I don't care. You win this one tonight. Do what you want. You're playing Friday and again and again and again. Let's hope there's a concerted effort or at least a more concerted effort than we saw on Saturday. that was a lifeless flames group with what felt like their season

theoretically on the line at home to the wild. You want to see a bounce back from that. That was no good. That was one of the more disappointing outings of the year. They boot off the ice against Minnesota three nights ago. Are you going to say something, remember? And I said, well, I was going to say, I feel like tonight's the same thing.

It's a must win. They're all must wins, but you're just, you're running out of time. You're running out of time. And I don't think you're trying to catch Minnesota, but I just, if you can, win, you're going to feel real good about four points under 48. Yep.

And I'll tell you what, if you start putting pressure on the jets in that sense as well, I mean, if you're all of a sudden four back, that's not as much of a pipe dream. Like that's, oh, okay. I mean, geez, you got a game against them still on the calendar. You got a really soft finish, seven of eight against teams that aren't playoff teams. You got a lot of bottom dwellers. Not that that means anything with these guys. And you play at home a ton down the stretch.

After this, they have 10 of 17 at home to finish the season. the wild have been sitting in St. Paul waiting for them. They've not played since the game on Saturday. And they are on the kind of heater, the flames need to go on. That's correct, yeah. Four in a row, four o' and one in their last five, eight o' and one in their last nine. One regulation loss in their last 12. So it can be done.

Teams have done it before. Yes. One games. Well, two would be a trend and then three is a streak. That's a winning streak. Let's go streaking. It has been done before. Okay.

Anaheim, Ottawa, Arizona. It's waiting after Minnesota tonight. That's right. And I asked Rhett about his best St. Paul's story. Give me a good one. Is that one of those, you don't, you just get the St. Paul and you go to your room until the rink and then you leave? That's it?

That's it? Movies. Yep. So you can walk across the street and it's easy. And the St. Paul Grill is. good downstairs, so you have no reason to go anywhere. Did you play in Minnesota? Chapo-Lay down the street.

Oh, yes. You're overrated. People love Chapo. Yes, I don't like it at all. Well, if you've lived in the States, yes, if you're a Canadian, it's unbelievable. When do you have this at your fingers? What makes it so special other than... It's huge and it's amazing.

And it's cheap relative to what things cost here. I remember being the Maryland. First thing you'd Google. Where's the hotel? Is there a Chipotle within walking distance or a short cap? Let's go. Got to go. I'm not saying you're wrong.

Yeah, if you live there, it wouldn't be... I say you're wrong. It's gross. Because I've never really understood... Giacomollies extra! Overrated. Yeah, I've never really understood it. It's like, I can get...

This is a big burrito. Yeah, a huge burrito. I can go to a number of other places and get big burritos. Is it just... Is it the price that makes it good? It's all of it. I'm just jacked when we could get to a Chipoli.

All right. All right. Oh, could do itchipoli right now. Could you? God, I'm starving. Did you do a Chipotle? You'd be disappointed. Or a...

No. Right now, if you could. No, I'd do Chipotle right now because I can go swarma any day of the week and get good shwoma. I can't get Chipola here. All right. Yeah. So again, what separates it from any other burrito place is just that it's big and it's cheap. Oh, it's amazing.

It's delicious. All right. You get the barbacoa and go... Garnitas. It's got beans and rice and meat. Great burrito. You like burritos? It's a good burrito.

It's a burrito. I love burritos. Bean burritos? Mm-hmm. You do love burritos. Breakfast burritos. It's a decent burrito. Small for my liking.

Say, but you're not a big eater. Bitter, always sort of. Me, I can be for you to be hooked on portion sizes. I'm not hooked on portion. I'm just saying, like, you're going to put a Chipotle burrito next to some tiny little wiffy, tiny, no. One's going to sit down. You're going to need a nap after this.

It's going to knock you out. It's like going a couple rounds with Riddick Bow. Why is that good? I think that's... Once a year. We love food. A Tuesday. Once a year.

Pinder is a quart low today. Are you getting a tickle? Is that what it is? The tickle last night after curling. Last match of the year. How to go? You got to get a nebulizer. When you feel the tickle coming on, you do the hydrogens and peroxide, the nebulizer, you're all good.

I just hammered a bunch of vitamin C. You drank as much water as I could, went to bed, and then woke up every two hours to piss and drink more water. Yeah. Worry about you. We finished dead last again. Yeah. If a wind would have got us to second last. Well, what happened?

You were short-handed. You had to bring in. We were a spare. Boy, Richard. You have loser teammates. That's your problem. Our problem is that we're not 70. We haven't been curling for 50 years.

Everyone's in this league's been curling forever. So why are you doing the curling? Getting better. Who cares? It's close. Okay. But out of all the things you could do with your buddies. Yeah, you can play tennis.

You can do that. Right. You can bowl. You could... A lot of things. Tennis? Who the F is playing tennis? What are you talking about tennis?

You twist the ankles. You're out. You're hurt. Come on. Yeah, if you've played it your whole life, Dean, go pick up tennis. Go play some tennis. It's a nice tennis bubble down south by you.

You know, it's an Victor Center. He would absolutely snap a hammy. Well, he would for sure. One set. That's a good sport to stay fit, that one. I play a little bit of tennis. You're not just like curling?

Like you're curling to get fit? No, no, I'm curling to drink on Mondays. And so when I'm 70, I'll be good by the time I'm retired. can actually hang some ws. It just seemed like an interesting choice. Because like you say, matters to you,

you need to win curling bond spills and shit. No, that's a, this is a, goal in life. Hey, listen, the DUG could,

he was a skip. He knew how to, bring him in. Skip to my little. I've spent many, many a day at a curling bond spiel, small town curling bond spills and cabarets that night.

Some people call them socials. Yeah, they do. someday. I don't see you doing that and I don't see your significant other participating in any of this bullshit. Of course not that. I was going to say that's exactly why.

He has gone to great lengths to find the one area where she's least likely to go. So playing tennis. I'm going to ask play doubles. You're going to be careful of that. Hey, babe, we're going to slaughter some pigs. Did you want to come? Ew, no. Kay.

See you never. Yeah, we're doing it. We're in our pig slaughtering league. We finished dead last again. But I hope to get a lot better at. I'm going to start getting dubious. I know. What the thing?

Haven't you been dead last for years? Only the four years we've played in the league. You want to get your name on the wall at the Glencoe? No, I just want to be competitive. I'm not going to be good enough to win. There's like a dozen guys that played the briar. It's curling. What do you mean?

Competitive and curling. I want to be able to win close games. That's how competitive you are. I guess I'm not even going to say it it's good curlers there wild card I'm not going to smear

the elderly like Pinder does they do take it serious though hey this is the league you know they talk about you which is part of the problem that they take it serious they'll get their schedule because that's fresh meat there no they love those guys

they usually when they slaughter you at 8 3 they're like You're getting better. Don't make sure you don't be leaving the league. And you think, oh, they're being nice. No, no. They just want an easy mark next year on the schedule. You're a, you are a BS bull crap curler until you enter a bond spiel in a small town.

So you can shove it that you're covered one in Fort St. John. Enter a bond spiel. Now, you can do your hoiter toy thing. Then you need to go back to car stairs. I do. Get into a boy, he's a real curling fan at his private club in downtown. You're going to pay a jillians. lot of heat for recreational activity here.

Lord forbid I go play darts once a week. From the Glencoe. Curling out of the Glencoe, Claude the Pinder for. Listen, it's a, it's a different choice. Of all the sport,

hey, me and my buddies were in a blank league. Yeah. I would go, like just, for you, it would just seem to be well down. It'd be, how about,

yeah, like I just said, I'm gonna get run for playing darts if I go the same day, every week. I mean, what, what's okay? If it's hockey, I'm going to be hard. 140. Sorry. Go ahead. Curl. You're a loser. You want to do the bad way best with that?

Can't wait to see. Can't wait to see you. Team botcher against Kevin Cooey tonight. Let's see who's going to favor. It's a shit. Hey, Ben, he bear. You want to fill in? Oh, Ben's a good guy. Benny's doing well. He is. I know. Like, if you're good at it, you should try to get. Ben. I've asked Ben, he's a busy guy.

They're on a heater right now. Ben knows better. That's Ben knows. So do you have like shoes and everything? Or do you just put like the slider over? No, I've got one guy that does the slider. Everyone else has got the gear. Can't go halfway in here.

Gotta go all in. Yeah. All right. Go look up the Briar standings here. Yeah, we'll do our way bets of the day. Bontan meat market. Greg was texting me yesterday. What's it down?

Wasn't loving... Ten minutes ago. Wasn't loving the lineup combos from last night? Who was? No shit. Because you have Dylan Dubay, who's had a fine season. And then, fourth line.

And Richie, second time. Remember, yeah, we've got to get rich in there. I mean, his brother was so impactful. Calgary tradition since 1921. Come visit a 28, Crowfoot Circle Northwest. Right now, I'm going to give you a temperature at in Calgary. We're looking at roughly minus 12, minus 13 degrees.

If you're going to Bon Ton today, up at 28 crowfoot circle, minus 12, minus 13, what's the meal prep for tonight? Beef short ribs. On a mashed potato with like a red wine gravy kind of thing. Oh, thank you very much. I got to admit I don't have, because of beef ribs, pork ribs, baby back, I don't really have a short rib prep in my arsenal. Do it.

Yeah? Do it. So what are the short ribs? So that's like in the, you know? I'm not a butcher. You have to ask Greg. Good enough for sure. They're very beefy, very delicious.

You can't cook them fast, nice and slow. you're going to make a nice gravy over top, but not like a gravy gravy, something a little... Sauce. Darkness to it. Yeah. Sauce. All right.

Gallagery tradition since 1921. You know, like you said, don't ask, go up there, go up there, hey, I want to do some short ribs. Oh, okay. Hey, you know, how would I, how would one make this? What would be some options? Oh, well, let me tell you, this would be a way to do it. This would be some spices.

This would be a way to, uh, it's not just like you're rolling in there and you'll have to fend for yourself. I don't know what I need meat. They're pros. They'll show you how to do it. How's your janky, Yankee beef going down there? Terrible. I was just going to say, I will be returning to our fine city in a few weeks,

and I've already begun my list of what I'm going to need from Mr. Keller's place. Don't spoil it because I want this is a full. segments yeah don't go here now put it together put some thought in and then we need the the ret bontan meat order when you get back to town and you know what else is happening soon enough easter well you can't just skim over st patrick's day like that can you when's easter yeah but st patrick's stay is not a big family meal you're going to be out drinking beer and acting like a putz remember last year you were so wasted. Oh my God. I was. Pro-up.

On St. Paddy's Day. Yeah. We can revisit the tape there, but we'll leave that alone if you'd like. That one started early as I remember. Yeah. Someone was pretty jazzed. Yeah, it's his last day ever at the radio station. Yeah. Never working with you assholes again. Drink up.

Here we are. Betway bets of the day. Betway. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, for sure. Tonight last night. Dallas minus one and a half That works perfectly I had the rupe anytime goal And I had Pavelsky for two points

He only got the one point Ruperi, I don't pay Yeah You're up money, that's good $200, 240, something like that Yeah I think that you just I mean what does McDavid pay

Nothing score No minus 200 or something Zero, yeah nothing There's no value with McDavid You have to Some of the pre-built bets in the Betway app It'll be a money line plus something, but you're going to have to, it's going to be some sort of a parlay to get

to me, McDavid. That said, he's a multi-point game is pretty much. I was looking last night. He has 22 points in his last eight games, 12 or goals. Yeah, 12 in his last eight. Eight games. 22. My nephew loves the Oilers and he loves McDavid. So when my boys recognize that McDavid is in town to play the sabers, they turned it on and they were, were like, is he doing how, is he having a good year or not? I said, oh, why don't you look at that? Oh. Oh.

He's still pretty good, huh? He hit his new career high in points. 65 games, 124 points. 150's within range, isn't it? If you can hang 22 and 8 games, what's not in range? I think he's absolutely shooting for 150 plus. 100%. And the guys that are, when you're that good, you can.

control it. It's like, what are you going to do to stop me? No, get out of the way. Two more last night. He scored two in six of his last eight games, I believe, and one where he didn't he had like one in three. They should have got that clingbird guy, too. The Oilers?

What is the, and Frank brought it up. And I was thinking it at the time we didn't really get to it. I thought Klingberg was a little higher, a little more sought after. Awful year. But it's Anaheim. No, I know. Right. Do you not kind of give him almost a bit of a pass for an off year when you're with that team?

I mean, his give a fuck might be zero, but the results have been awful. There's a lot of players of pile of points on bad teams. He's not been won this year. Like, chickering, tried his ass off. Remember we were talking about Luke Shen for a third. Yeah. Klingberg for a fourth or whatever it ended up being. I'm listening now.

Yeah, it's just you got to play him down the lineup, and a lot of coaches don't want a third pair guy like that, right? You want to stay at home physical third pair, not to run a power play guy on your third. Daryl for sure. Tonight, retro, before we go, we'll do the things. Sabres, Islanders. Ooh.

That's a big one in the old Eastern Chase. Big one. I don't know that we've seen these standings on the show yet today, Alex. But that is, I believe by points of percentage, if it started today, it would be the Islanders in and Pittsburgh in. Stupid Pittsburgh.

Go away. Sabers fan over there. I'd be fun. Nobody likes Pittsburgh. Nobody likes Sid. Get out. There it is. We love Sid, but you've,

a game for the Sabers, Red. Take a. Look at that. What about Berkey? They got three in hand. They're going to be good shape. When tonight, you're in a real good shape. House Tuck.

Still hurt? Yeah. Tage is okay. It's That page is good You know what I don't need to see the islanders I'm okay with Pittsburgh

I'm with you It'd be nice to see so I just don't know Is Ottawa really going to get there And you know what Fuck Florida You can beat it You can miss

They'd be fun But I also don't mind them missing Yeah you can miss Mm-hmm Boy missed opportunity For Alex's Sends there last night Yeah how do you lose that one Oh

Five rep Where Let's get the islanders out the sabres in. Yeah, I'm in for that. I mean, I don't know if anybody, God forbid, you play Boston. You get to play Boston.

Maybe a gentleman sweep. You know what, though? That's nice for the Pagula family to get some money recouped. That's where my thought goes to the billionaires. Yeah. Make sure they can get a, the 25 million.

Hey, keep paying for the bills to play well. I'm in. A lot of talk about Stefan leaving. Diggs. Really? He stopped following the bills on Twitter and stuff. Remember, he stormed out of the locker room and then they have to go. Hey, dude, come on.

Guy wants to win. He wants the bills to win. He realizes they have to build an offense that can run the ball. He says, I got to get out of here to help these guys. He wants to go play with his brother in Dallas's talk. Oh, that would be good. also a good player. Betway?

We're going to do it? Yeah, we'll do Betway bets of the day. Why not? Flames taking on the Minnesota Wild tonight. Now, I went to All-Stars yesterday. Do what you do. Went all right. So the betway up, there you go.

Flames Wild, Carol Caprisoff, a power play point plus 130. Look at you. First goal score, just throwing it out there. Go for. I have this bet. Capri So I feel like that's big because I I think even an anytime goal

isn't plus money. It's close to even. There's no value with him. So I'm going to have to, I'm going to go big game hunting, Ryan. First goal score of the night, Capri Soff plus 600. Those are my two bets of the day. I'm going to be copycat with one of those. I've got Carrel Caprizov 1 plus power play point as well,

paying plus 130. And I love what Jacob Peltje is doing. He's around it. That top line was cooking last night. Yeah. The birthday boy. Plus 300 for the 22 year old. Let's go.

Betway bets of the day. Betway bets of the day. Get the app on your phone. Be responsible. Be 19. Play along. Have some fun with Betway. So tomorrow.

Who's afterburner tonight? Retta. He's got to look on his face of... Yeah, I can't tell if he's frozen or if he's... I think his eyes moved a little there. I'm just zoned right out. Yeah. I'm good.

Yeah, I got to do afterburner, whatever. I think there's only more for you after this route, to be honest. But he's coming back. Oh, that's right. He's going to be back on... Don't tell him that. He'll cancel his trip. On mountain time, so you'll be able to fill in a little bit...

I feel like I've done more than you guys anyway. You guys are always complaining that I don't do anything. I've done more than all both of you. You've done 11. You've done 11. So, you know, there's a spreadsheet. We can keep track of all these things. It did feel like you've done more on them.

do F all else. That's right. It's more on the show. We will recap this hockey game from this evening. We've got a couple days to get ready. And I mean, get ready for the ducks who are a king disaster. Let's get a guest in one day. Let's get Pat for beat.

You know, Pat? Let's bring him in. See how he likes this group. Hey, being a gym must be awesome. What the hell do I have to deal with here? No, no. See if Tree wants to come on. Tree wants to come on.

You know what it is? It's the time that we do this show because they're usually practicing or skating in advance of a game. Oh, so in the old days when we were at the other place, it was way too early and inconvenient. I mean, now. It wasn't for him. That was a good time for him.

They're getting off-day tomorrow if he's back in time. Yeah, he won't be. I would be sheepish to talk to him. I would feel like I've taken cheap shop. But you're not here. You're in, uh, You're just on video. Be a tough guy.

I know. Digital tough guy. Yeah, I'm one of those guys. Yeah, you are. Pleat it out and talk about it. Bulley on social. Mono, I'm not. No, you know what?

You have been... Making fun of me for curling. Have been just firing out opinions. You know what? Have been paying attention and loving it. If... It would be fun. If you thought you'd get answers.

to ask the questions we have. Yeah. Right? We ask each other and we make points and you get the GM on or a coach. They're not going to answer anyway, right? But if you could, if he could come on and actually be honest, and I'm not saying he can't even do it, even if he wanted to. He's,

he can't answer the honest. Hey, Brad. How's your relationship with Darrow? I was not going to get an answer. You know what? It's been pretty rocky. And there's a lot of things you've got to say that. No, you're not going to say that.

Yeah, it's been great, you know. We leg wrestle for 30 minutes before every game to see who's going to get into the lineup. We can't stand one another. But in fairness, are there any GMs that do? That what, get along with their coaches? No, that give you, that speak honestly. No, they have to give you stock answers. Well, I just think there's certain issues here that are no fly zones, right?

Like, if you asked prior GMs, if they're, If they had the autonomy to trade Jerome Ginnla, you'd get all kinds of wishy-washy. But there's certain things you can't do in certain jobs and certain employers. Yeah. Lou Lamarillo is not going to give you a straight answer. Kevin Adams, you hear, I hear him talk here. It's not, it's not insider stuff.

No. It's in your best interest to say as well as possible. Yeah. Players will say stuff once in a while. you'll get some honesty out of players. I should get some dumb media questions. Very, very rarely you get someone in a GM spot. You know, when Berkey would come out as the GM or the president every once in a while,

but even that was kind of by design. He was looking to deflect and... Lustery nonsense. Take some pressure or attention off of somebody else. But, I mean, you're right. Hey, Brian, did you run out of time with Mike Camilleri? No, we can't trade guys for less than they're worth. People will try to rake us over the calls next.

year when we have a different GM and a different market. Well, just look at the flyers. They felt the same way. Yeah, there go. Van Reimsday. All right, buddies, that's it for Bar and Burner today. Support the show. That's all day.

Support the clients, our customers, our clients, our friends, our partners. They're your partners, too. That's how this whole thing goes. I'm glad it's wrapping up because the idiots are home and it's about to turn into a shitstorm. So what happens? So they... So they come in, school's done, then what happens? It's going to be a feeding friend.

You can hear it. Like it's just, it's wild animals at a trough, right? It's just there's food and. They noticed them. Yeah, they noticed I'm still working. So they're like, you know, when you come upon some cattle out in the field and they kind of finally notice you, that's the look I'm getting right. It's kind of that dumb. No.

Yeah. We'll let you go feed the cattle, and we'll let everybody else get on with the rest of the day. Thanks for being a part of it. We're back tomorrow. I was going to beke us. See you. All right, and Oilers, you stink.

See ya. Bodies.
