Now, we weren't sure if we were going to be doing a show today. When we talked on Thursday, I think that was the last show. We were maybe Monday, maybe Tuesday, off Friday, that sort of thing. We had a lot of things in our life, a lot of things going on. We're busy. We didn't know how yesterday was going to go. Yeah. But as you can maybe tell, we are here today.

We're doing a show right now. To do this show. For all you, you people that suggest we would just take egregious amounts of time off, this is a bonus for you. That's right. Just for the winers. And remember, Rhett on Thursday was making note, hey, just so you guys know, I'm ready to go here. I can go.

I can do it. It's like, well, we do have an event. We have things that we need to do in Jasper on Friday. And we thought maybe we'd leave Friday to get to the event on Friday. Yes, we'd need to. Leaving Saturday for the Friday event, not ideal? No, it'd be tough to host the live event while we were still commuting on Friday. We need to be there on Friday.

We had talked about, because we were. Rhett made it well, we was very aware that he was available on Friday to do a show, but it was on us that we weren't around. Did he, in fact, do a show? Because I know we were talking about... Yeah, Tan Man, did we get a show off from, Rhett? Nothing? Let me just click on the, I don't see... See an update there, refresh. No, I don't see. Well, he's here today. Well, he's here in the basement today. Yeah, so, I mean, the ever dependable, uh, Rhett Warner. Well, let me check me. Here's your mic on. You're muted, Matt. Red. Oh, so you sent him a message. Well, I didn't see his response I asked.

I said, you can join us for a little bit today? Will you be joining us? No. That's the correspondence we've had with Rhett today. Two letters. That's the correspondence for the weekend. No. No.

So he sounds very apologetic in that. Sorry, guys. No, I'm, you know, I can't. No. He's got to be busy. He's got to be getting into all-star shape for the all-star alumni get together in Florida. He's going to be down in the tropics here. So I'm sure he'll have lots of time for us this week.

I'm sure too. We are here in the Tower Chrysler Studios. It is Monday. And already in the YouTube, I wonder how they're doing. I wonder how the guys are. Are they okay? Have they survived? How are the hamstrings? How are the glutes, the gluteous maximus, all that sort of thing? All those are fun. It's the liver that was the real principal point of impact. Yeah, your liver took a beating. A savage beating. It's the principal point. I mean, there may be some other shrapnel, but the principal point of contact is the liver. Yeah, yeah, there's no question. Do you get, is there like a suspension?

Is there a rule book on that, that the principal point of contact was the liver? Yes and no, but it was self-inflicted. It's like if you slash yourself in the face, you are responsible for your own stick, but it only hurt you. I don't think you get penalized. Yeah, friendly fire.

A lot of friendly fire. What a weekend. It was great. What a weekend. I told you, I was excited to go to Jasper. It was phenomenal. It was phenomenal. up to Jasper, the Fairmont, JPL,

Jasper Park Lodge took very good care of all of us. We had the pond hockey event up there, and I'm going to say it was red carpet treatment. Red carpet treatment. I would suggest if that's not, I don't know what red carpet is. Well, actually, you know what, this is gray and yellow carpet. Yeah, this is, now this was Friday night, I believe.

It might have been Saturday. That's Saturday? No, that's Friday, because I'm wearing the Friday sweater, yeah. Yeah. And we're doing high kicks in the, So that's you and, uh, and Jacob from the on the bench crew. Yeah, we were like fast friends. Yeah.

Ollie's like, I've never seen anyone that he's, Jacob and his, has the same energy levels. That was a good one there, wow. He was taking issue with your running starts and that was a different, different video. We're all doing running stats. Yeah, yeah. But then eventually, we're good. So he's, he's giving you a run for your money here. You're watching on YouTube.

We're doing. That was, yes, tough there. I feel like maybe you're getting. And eventually here, we'll stay with it. But now he's ringing the bell. And as I put in the tweet, definitely if you're going to have a high kick contest, do it right in the front lobby. In front of the staff.

Of a Fairmont Hotel. At 1 a.m. That's right. So then he's just going from the standing start. Oh, see, now this is where I'm, this is my wheel of standing star, one-stepers. Is there any kind of history you can share with the high-kick? I don't know. It's just a dumb party trick.

And it's really not a trick. just something to get people doing stuff. Yeah. I got lots of those. I tried to get you going on slaps, but it involved a little bit of math and that thing done quick. I didn't understand anything you were saying.

All you said was count to 21. If you can do that, you can play slaps. I don't, do you want to, now that you're sober, maybe now you. You know what?

There's a time in a place for slaps, this isn't it? Okay, it's one, it's two, seven, then it's this.

And then it's this. And then who? Ten, your point. Needed more info. Yeah, well, that's all right.

Yeah, Needed a little more info. You were very enthusiastic and keen to learn the rules. It was less about... I'm out of here. Yeah, see, there again, I think maybe underestimating your level of sobriety at that point, because that was after the kicks. That was Friday.

We had a good shift Friday. So that guy that was just doing the kicks, about an hour later was trying to explain the slap game. And I... Yeah. To my detriment, I didn't get it. Now, everyone wants to know how we're doing. Oddly feel okay. Yeah, it was a gorgeous drive yesterday.

Cabs are a little... but that's normal. You know, little calf treatment. You could probably use a little calf treatment, but oddly feel okay. We played three games Saturday. I was impressed. I thought you were like an old diesel.

You just took the first game to warm up. The second game, a little more comfy out there. By the third, I thought you were, that was peak boom right there. Got the old wooden stick. Oh, I brought the wooden stick kind of as a prop. And it was, yeah, it was about a foot short. and it was very, very, uh, it should be firewood.

It's probably ready for the, the fire pit. I could have left it there. But what do you can see there on the Saturday. Now, chilly for sure. We're in the mountains. But it's the day you want. The blue sky and pictures can't do it justice, but the backgrounds and the blue sky, it was, uh, I dare I say heaven.

Yeah, the old Red Bull marketing crew was out there, blast and tunes. They had a little hot with a fire going on. so when your games are over, you go warm up. There you are. The hot pools or nails. There's Wolfie in the front row before being completely concussed. Oh. Against Oilers Nation.

He hit the deck about a half dozen to ten times, really hard. The worst and only time he did it backwards, he just, he rattled the coconut pretty good. And he kept saying, I'm fine, I'm fine, but he'd left his stick on the ice, was skating the wrong way. I don't know. I don't think he was fine. You're right. It was, he was down a lot. I don't know if he had his skate sharpened if he'd ever,

if he'd skated before, he looked fine at times than others. He couldn't stay upright. And then the third game, the game he chose not to wear the helmet. Yeah. Is when he clunked. Yeah, I think mid-game,

he took the helmet off and then almost immediately while skating backwards, I didn't know he had that skill set. Bang. I think Chalmers took him down. And there you see it. Chalmersson? There you see it.

There's the Oilers Nation folk. Bag, Melk, little Tyler, your M-Chuck. We got Chalmers. Just look at Frank. Frank Sarvelli. Frank Cicke's, he could skate all right.

He's moving pretty good out there. Probably oversold, eh, a little bit. I thought he was just a steady eddy, stay at home D. Yeah. He don't anything fly.

He's like a hatcher brother. Or maybe he underestimated how good the hockey players might be at a thing like this. Because there were some fine players. He sheepishly acknowledged he'd never skated outdoors before, which I thought,

I've never lived in Philly. And I don't know if that's a, like, if that was here, we'd all laugh at you, but you probably don't have, you know, parks with rinks everywhere in Philly, which doesn't get cold enough, I'm guessing. So people want to know how did it shake down.

We played Oilers Nation, the third of three games on Saturday. Controversy. I don't want to get into any, you know, what they call it, muckraking? You are the general manager of Teams FAMS Nation. Allow me to be the reporter, the journalist here. Oh, fair enough, yeah. The game ended in a 2121 tie. There are now the CHE, the Canadian hockey enterprises, they have their scorekeepers there.

They're keeping an eye on things. They called it a 21-21 tie. However, you as the general manager, would you care to speak on the thought that maybe some controversial scorekeeping that led to this tie? Well, we were told it was a tie game with about three minutes left, and we definitely outscored Oilers Nation from that point to the end. And so it was a little confusing when we were back in defending the last 30 seconds only to hear that it was a tie game. But, you know, I'm sure there was no foul play so much as probably an honest mistake. I'm happy to say the team went undefeated and that our ringer indeed was a ringer. And Mosser's feet were sensational.

He was tipping stuff over the net and tight. I mean, you can tell he was a goalie. You need a goalie. Yeah, Tyler Moss, incredible hand eye. Yeah, the D zone coverage around the net was sensational. And Man Deep. from BK. Bo Fork Lick. I was pimped him for two weeks,

and I'm not sure that you believed it until you saw it. Well, I had seen, I think I had said last week, I did see one video of him doing a little hoop-dy-do there. So, oh, yeah, because somebody had said, this Man Deep's a good player. Take a look at this. And he did a little hoop-dy-doo. And it was, uh, you undersold yourself.

You're heck of a hockey player. I can skate a bit. That's a bono. No, come on. No. You and Man Deep were a, uh, just like Gretzky Curry out there. Unbelievable.

He's a good player. Makes it easy for everyone around him, right? That's what the greats do. And Serge had a great new red helmet. And he had the best sellies on the team. Serge, five out of five on celebrations. I had to give him a report card. Surge from Tower.

Tower Kreiser Studios is where we, of course, do the show every day. There's surge, along with Serge and Serge. Those are the fighting surges. They were there supporting. And what's great is the faces, actually, like this guy, look at the smile on that guy. Actually, not as smiley as he isn't real. life. That is true. It's actually underselling how smiley he is. Yeah, that, uh, the tower crew was up

and rep on it. We, we had the best supporting crowd and cast in the whole tournament. Wild applause and cheering for every goal. I think we were right in between the years of all our opponents. Look how beautiful that is. Yeah, that's pretty nice. Yeah. That's pretty nice. Yeah. Jaspers Park Lodge, tourism, Jasper. Well done. They had this, now we didn't get there, but I heard the street party was unbelievable on Saturday night with music. They had fireworks. Obviously, there was the, like, like we've been saying all month. The food and the awesome. I'd never been first time. We'll go again.

That crisp pills, I enjoy hammering. It's tastier the closer you get to that brewery. Be careful, though. In fact, even stepping into it. You may start to do high kicks if you have. Just make sure you're appropriately stretched and warmed up. That's all. So 21, 21 was the tie against the Oilers Nation, which left both them and us with an equal

two wins, zero losses, one tie record. Undefeated. Yet somehow, I guess the tie break had the Oilers Nation finishing ahead of us. Even though we didn't have common opponents. Right. Getting into, we could play another two minutes and then have sudden death, something like that, but they kept it as a tie. We put man deep out and just win.

Which is Kyle. I do wonder, was there maybe a thought from the organizers that it would be apropos if these two teams just tied? I can't speak to any level of conspiracy, but I do think people understand where their bread is buttered. Perhaps. Because I do agree with you. It felt like it was a tie game.

We were holding the fort. And then there were multiple goals on our side that we scored. And then fewer went in by them. I mean, maybe the tie break was anyone that got bloodied. Like we beat them 1-0 in concussions. but they, your M-chuk was dripping all over the place. Yeah. Like a wounded animal to walk him with an arrow in them just dripping everywhere.

Yeah, I was hoping somebody stuck them, like really give them a good. No, I kept a puck into the jibs. But you got the stick on a pass and it clipped them right. They were going to try some full ice, like long tap-in at the back door. And these are big nets. We can't be allowing this to happen. So if you're going to start zipping pucks the length of the ice looking for backdoor tapings, I'm just put them neck high, see how you like that.

And there's kind of try it again after that, you know, Yeah. And I know it was in the rule book, but there's also kind of a gentlemanly thing. Yeah. You're not going to just rifle it from three quarters ice. I mean, you shouldn't. Half, half ice. Make this pond hockey. Make some plays, try and get it to the net and then score. Felt like there were a lot of half ice or better goals. I've mixed feelings about that because I feel like that's one of those breaking the seals things.

Is it? Once one team does it, everyone's like, okay, well, you started it, so we're going to do it too. So who do you? It was Prince. Oh, it was very early. And I thought that's way too. and early to start shooting from half court. But, I mean, if the Oilers, I know I think, like,

they'll probably do a jersey every year. They had play La Bamba, which is a lovely tribute to that great Oilers fan last year. Next year, they could get the Splash Brothers because they were hitting from half court in the whole game. It was unbelievable. Like, Princey had the first three. But these guys, like, holy, Steph Curry should be taking notes from these cats. From down.

From the logo, Kerry! Now, do we have, I know that Alex, you had the shots there. Do we have the one shot of Pinder there? Because I guess we don't really have a really good photo of our jersey. But we were the, we were the, yeah, you can kind of see there. The Blasty Pindy. So it's you wearing your own likeness. It's Pinder in a man bun and then the flames coming out of your nostrils as if it were

blasty, the horse head. With the blasty color set. Great work. I think our pals are myconic that do the Game Day photoshops. I think we got them involved because they're good at that. and hey, I'd love to say this was my great idea. Is it you? Was it you that did it?

No, I think we collaborated a little. Like tan mat kind of. A tan mat kind of. I love for the tan man. I don't know where it came from. It wasn't my idea, but I'm all in favor of it. If that's what you think so. There it is.

Yes. It's the crazy eyes, too. No, what you can't see from the original photo is I believe I had a Guinness mustache there, and I was very impressed with my Guinness mustache. It was gross. But that was covered up by the blasty flames out of the nostrils, which... Yeah.

Yeah, it's gross. They're a limited edition, Dean. I haven't signed a single one yet. If you see any on the secondary market signed, that's a forgery. Well, I was going to say, do you think there'd be any market if we were to auction these off? I mean, raise some money for charity. The only way there would be value, I think if you wrung mine out, you might get an ounce of vodka out there. That's about it.

You didn't spill much. It was all. That's fair. You're very good at that. It's shotgunting, too. Awesome weekend. Awesome weekend. Now, and then what happened?

Unfortunately. because of our 4-0-1-2-1, 2-0-1, there was a 3-0 team. So the Oilers Nation and this other team were going to play in the championship final. We were then going to play in the third place game or the consolation final. Whatever you're going to call it. Now, Saturday was chilly at about minus 15. A little breeze. Minus 17.

Then the breeze. The spectators was perfect for the games. Yeah. Yesterday morning we woke up and it was minus 30. It was dash 27 with windchill to minus 30. that when I was looking and looking at my equipment thinking, is there another layer I can find somewhere in there? I really wanted to play.

I know. I was really, really hoping that we'd get a chance to play in that consolation final. Raining you in is sometimes the hardest part. It's just, you're so key. But I went with the group and I said, fine, it's too cold. Let's just go home and try and watch some football. It's a good consolation, really. Yeah, that was the consolation Sunday.

So weird consolation when you don't lose in a tournament. I said again just just between us didn't mind the Oilers Nation guys I wouldn't say that too loud we kind of had a hell of a time yeah they were right in it Frankie seemed like

he could come back to Canada again go come to the mountains I know he's used to the big cities and the bright lights in the in the arenas but I think he enjoyed himself a little rustic Rocky Mountain expedition you can see the The Squire there, Jay Doughton in the back with the ski goggles. That's, next time, that's the play.

That is the move. Yeah. Keeps your faith for warmth and just glare and all of that. So definitely, we got some bag milk in there. Actually, can we say that? Because he doesn't show his likeness, doesn't? We don't know which one he is, clearly. And then, yeah, your Amchuk is in there with blood all over himself.

And Mosser played a great little trick. He has the orange hat, but our jersey. and an errant pass or two sailed his way, I think, with a little misdirection from the hat color. So there, and I'm hearing things from Wolverine, although he is concussed, that there will potentially be other events, pond hockey events closer to home.

Keep listening. I think, first off, this is a major. This is an annual. Like this is one of the, you know, this is a trophy tournament. But we need to add one as well in our backyard where we can play host just as Oilers Nation pseudo-played host there. Add to the repertoire.

Lake Chestermear, maybe. Not quite as picturesque, perhaps. We'll see. Let's see if Bolivia's got his sprawling estate sold or not. Maybe we could lease it from him, rent it for a weekend. Tower Chrysler, good to have the Tower Chrysler folk up there. Towercriser.com. Your favorite, to Calgary's favorite. If all the Tower Chrysler's in town, they're number one. With a bullet. Yeah, just ask them. Just ask them. We saw the Flames play their final two games before the All-Star break. Kind of, yeah. They have a long, yeah.

Nine days, but they were on. I didn't realize that they have an abnormally long stretch here. There's games last night. There's games tonight. Tomorrow. There's games Wednesday. What the hell is this? I think they stagger everyone around the All-Star break,

so everyone gets at least seven days, but they're nine. I don't know that many teams have nine days. That's pretty impressive. But I like this. rather than a whole week of no NHL, we have games up until Wednesday and then starting next Monday, and there's all-star festivities in the middle, rather than a whole week with nothing.

So, for example, like, Carolina's going to play twice this week, and I think two-thirds of the league have zero games this week. Yeah. All right. Cool. Just watching on social media, it seems like there's a lot of people over there, Mexico. They're enjoying them, taking their families off on vacation.

Hussar. That's right. Cabo. Yeah, yeah. Bermuda. Chestermere, yeah. Chestermere. That's right.

They... They do the water, Dean. That's what they say. They have the back-to-back games, a loss to the Hawks and a win versus the Cracken. If you're going to have to split those games, I guess that's the way. Take the loss over the better, or take the win over the better opponent as the final game going in to the break because the...

How do you lose 5-1 to the Hawks again? I don't know that you can look at these two in a vacuum. I think getting embarrassed. at home by the worst team in the NHL probably helps set the tone for, okay, no more in around here, fellas. This is our last one before the break. Let's do it right. And that's two pretty quality wins in Seattle they've had. And the only other time they played Seattle was the second week of the year. They blew what, like a 4-1 lead in the third? It was like, it seemed in hand and they'd hit snooze. So for whatever reason, they've mashed up nicely with Seattle. And who knows, if they can climb up a couple of rungs.

I don't think they'd be afraid of going into Seattle in a playoff series as much as you might get some PTSD thinking about playing the Oilers or worry about what the Vegas Golden Knights can do or maybe even as a wild card having to play Central Division Team 1, whether that's Winnipeg or Dallas or someone else. They were very good against, I had to go back and watch it after the fact, obviously, but they were good against the crack. Yeah, all full marks. The fourth shot of the game goes in to make it 1-0.

Coming off the loss the night before with travel against Chicago, you're thinking, this is awful. It's going to be a nightmare. Balls are coming in. They found a way, they dug in, they were the better team, they win with the empty net goal

five to two. And I think even Daryl was complimentary, so that tells you a little bit of something that after a loss against the Hawks, get it together, and I thought they did.

They were the better team on that night. So now you go into... The other thing real quick. Yeah. Like we finally saw, the coach arrived where everyone else has been for three weeks, which is Malon Luchich is a solid fourth liner,

but Malon Lutche is not a second liner. That's not a shot. He has been in his career, but this may be his last year in the entire league in his career. And his skill set suits a fourth line, left wing slot. They put Jacob Pellche into the Euberto cadre hole on that line. And I think that's something that Daryl wanted to make Jacob earn. I think he has in a sense.

And I think that's probably reason. for some optimism or even just excitement. I think even the GM is probably happy. He gets to do a little internal audit on some skill position guys in the top nine before the deadline arrives. Yeah, and you wonder, because Peltier and Walker Dewar,

they'll play some games with the Wranglers. We'll see what happens roster-wise when the All-Star break is over. It occurs some cap savings too. It's not just getting those guys' games. It's both. So do they both come back? Do one of them come back?

And if so, where do they land when that is the case? And Brett Ritchie, I believe is now either closing in or full health ready to return. So there might not be room for both of them. 10 of IR. And we don't know when he's back. There's been some suggestion it could be after. So there's still some question marks.

I've liked them both. I think they've both done the best at, you know, Phillips didn't get much, 11 minutes. So Horn, I got a little more runway. Razitska had a hot, what, December it felt like. These two, I think, have done a really good job of, you know, I think earning the coach's trust and I think finding a role, certainly for Walker Doer, bring some speed and hit everything and fly around. We're probably broken record there, right?

I think we're fairly on record as to where we are with Peltje and Doer and the youth, the necessity for speed and how those guys contribute to that. Yeah, and they're not same, same. They're very different. I mean. But just in general, just get, yes. Send them to let them play games, cap savings. When the break is over, they are coming back and regulars again.

Yeah. And it's, you know, with Rooney down in the American League playing fourth line center. They, you know, there's room to do that. You'd love to take a chance at Rooney. No, it's just, it's tough. This is not how anyone thought it was going to go. And if Richie is your 13th forward, I'm fine with that.

You? Yes. Like, and if Walker Doer wants to slow down for a bit and I guess we've got to figure out where Adam Rozijske fits, that's the only thing. I haven't loved him on the fourth line, but him and Duer, all of a sudden, there's a little more skill now there. You can see how there has been that, how tantalizing he is as a prospect,

and then he leaves you wanting. Because the disappearing act? It's a good one. It's the consistency thing that was the draft, the knock right from his draft year, right? It's like all those tools are there. He's big. He can shoot it.

He's skilled. You don't find men of that size with skills like that very often. And why do you get picked in the fourth round? Oh, because you only see flashes of it. It's not five games in a row ever. I just want to mention, we're going to have, we're talking with the Wolverine, the concussed Wolverine before we came on. We've got tickets galore coming for now, basically, the start of February, right through to the end of the season, courtesy of Mad Rose Pub.

They start with four on the road, and then they're home for a bit the second half of the month. So we'll give some stuff away, but be ready. Watch us on socials. Yeah. Four home games? I was looking this morning. We're four home seven road games in the month of February. So get in while they're getting's good because there aren't many home games. The good news is we'll have tickets for, if not all, the majority, some of those. Mad Rose Pub this week, this week?

Try. It's already Monday. Already, geez. It's already Monday. 20 beers on tap kid friendly Saturday, Sunday, Monday. They are not just trotting out freezer burnt food like some pubs do. This is fresh. They're making the dough, the sauce for the pizza.

they're making it every single day fresh. Visit the website, madrose.com. Maybe you need it brought to your door. It's kind of chilly out, snowing that. Get it delivered. It's 15 Royal Vista Place. Some of the best pizza you'll have in the entire city and your connection for Flames home game tickets.

Or wonton next time we go. Yes. Okay, deal. Done. Madrose Pub up in Royal Oak. And while you're up there, go and see our buddy Greg over at Bonton. I don't know how I said last week. He was really having a hard time dealing with the Dallas Cowboys.

Oh, T's and peace. Thump, a thumping defeat, embarrassing. Did I read yesterday or this morning that now Mike McCarthy is going to be calling the plays. Kellynne Moore is out. Signed by the Chargers. What could go wrong, right? Just give more to Mike McCarthy. Load up his plate. Yeah, that's really proven to be the answer. Load up McCarthy's play. Yeah, yeah. So go and see, go and see Greg. Grab. we talk all the time about the meats and the potato salad and all of that. I want to remind you.

Say, I don't know what time you're watching. This is a podcast. I don't know what time of this. Maybe you're looking for some quick food, something to eat right now. I don't have time to make it, but I want something.

I want some cheap junk, though. I want some quality stuff, Dina. I want something that's going to stick to my bones. It's a hearty! You know, stick to my bones. Meat pies. Oh. You may not know you love meat pies.

It's possible. You may not even know you do, but you do. Yeah. You do. Well, and, you know, better half, Australian. Yeah. Huge in Australia, mate. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. So good. The individual meat pies. Steak, chicken. We're not getting too. We're not getting all fancy with you. Chicken or steak. Boom.

They make them in the morning. They're ready. So good. So good. And I've been asked, which one do you like? Which one? You're not going to make. me pick. Yeah, it's a true question. It's D all the above. Yeah, you're not going to make me do it.

Torture, perhaps, waterboard. I'd rather you didn't. Just have them all, please. But I'm still not going to. Which one would you like, Mr. Mulberry? Yes. Yes. Yes, please. Yes. And then, of course, throw in some potato salad or whatever you need there, just as a, you know, nice little side. But awesome. We told you, you got to go up and see it. It's, it's a throwback. It's old school. It's the way customers have been treated for decades. And they still. And they still. do it. Over a century, it suggests even. You do the math on that? 1921. That's all started.

101 years? 28 crow foot circle, northwest. Greg Keller, Bon Tonne Meets. Meat pies. Don't, don't let me, don't sleep on the meat pies. That's what I wanted to tell you. Good. Oh. How are they feeling?

How are things down at 5-5-5-sadalum rise or whatever it is? I don't know. I feel like that's, they've been through a lot here, but I think they might be positioned to be better versions of themselves here. I finally like the way the roster's constructed. Now that said, we'd like to know more on TANF, but this month is interesting. They don't play a ton.

They sort of have three games a week, a couple days off between games. There's a couple good teams in here, but there's a lot of very middle of the pack-ish, you know, play well, and you should get points type teams, which probably means nothing with this team. 50 game mark, 24, 17, and 9.

Yeah. So you applaud the extra time points to a point. 570 points percentage. They're outside of the playoffs today. Five back with two games in hand on L.A. That's what I'm watching. I don't want to say that L.A. is bad. I don't see Colorado missing.

I have a tough time envisioning Minnesota missing. I don't think the way Edmonton's starting to click. Cain's now back. They're going to add at the deadline, or they're absolutely insane. Your first rounder does not help you, Ken Holland, go get a defenseman. I just, if I have to pick amongst the crowd around them,

I think L.A. is the one that you should be, you know, not that you're obsessed with other teams are doing, but that it's the most realistic car to catch. I just don't like the way, I just don't like how it's sitting right now because I don't feel like Markstrom has really shown any signs of playing markedly better. than he has. Yeah, it's been probably improved from awful to mediocre and he's still not getting

run support. So I'm curious what the coach does out of the gate with the goalies. They're going to be on Broadway, Monday the 6th of February, a week from today. Rangers, good team, great goalie. Do they lead with Markstrom or Vladar? It feels like a really good litmus test for where Daryl's confidence is at with this tandem. Vladar has only one. What is it? 13 games in a row now with a result. With at least a point? Markstrom has to just lose his mind when he's by himself. When he's in his car and the way home, starts against the Hawks, gets one goal, run support.

Now, again, you let in four, you can't, five one final. Chicago, one goal on Rob Stauber's kid. Yeah, the second ever game in the NHL. The next night, travel in Seattle, tough team. Four plus an empty netter. the hell guys it's it's becoming uncanny that one guy and it's it's not there's no connection you can't are they playing better in front of this guy no i don't see it they are i just don't think it's because of the goal i don't know how they've played better when vladar's been in that i don't think it's

vladar's pep talks or the you know wow his mask is so pretty i'm going to try harder tonight it's it's a very random coincidence i sit here and usually the the narrative is you can't you know the backups the backup the starter is a starter. You got to get Markstrom in the form. The only caveat that I have in this case, I agree that that's the situation when you have a backup that's a veteran or has been around and you know by now what he is. I don't know what Vladar is. No, there's some ceiling there. Is there a chance that that guy could give you consistently better goaltending than Markstrom's going to give you? I would say that's a bit. Regulation loss was when October? Keep running the guy. I don't care whether it's hocus pocus or not. He's winning. He's winning. And we talked about Sutter

and his seeming indifference towards young players or who do you want. Get selfish with, get selfish with Vladar. He's turned the corner on him. Last year, it was over a month between starts at one point. They rolled Markstrom in both halves of a back to back leading into the All-Star break with travel in the middle on the road. It was like, he don't trust him. And then he here early this year, he's in better shape. He's in a position. to play more. He'd start getting results. They wrote him, what, seven out of nine in December at one point?

Now, again, it's another run of play. I think he wants Marksham to be the guy, but he's certainly more comfortable rolling Vladar if Markstrom isn't going to be the guy. Darrell mentioned that about his fitness level early on, right? He must have was, like, how fat was he last year? He wasn't. So fat.

I don't know. That would be something where I think being around the sport for, what, 50 years or whatever it's been for Darrell? Like, there's probably just a little bit of game conditioning versus being in good shape. Like, oh, he's, he's wiped at practice. And now he's not making saves for the last eight minutes. Like, I feel like that's a real coach's eye thing. I thought that's what our issue was up in Jasper.

Conditioning? Yeah. Good strong second halves. Yeah. We fell behind that first game. We couldn't find Mandi. Where the hell is Mandy? I need my ringer.

Pinder is, I'm on the ice. I'm on the ice and there's people on the side. Like, we only allowed four to time. I'm like, where's deeper? Where's deeper? Where's deeper? Where is he? We need some goals. I just saw him.

He was coming down to a tug until we're down early here. We're down three out. Tell me to hurry. Got to hurry. So, Mandipe comes flying down the hill, gets his skates on. We pull out a win. The next game, or I think it was the Euler game. Oilers Nation.

You're like, where's Mandeep? Where's it? Ryan, he's taking the face off. Just calm yourself. Okay, good, good. Just calm down. Well, the second game, he had one shift with three tucks. It was just like art.

Oh, pretty sure. I can play. It's lucky months. Guy can play. Guy can play. Yeah. I was saying, I know some people that are doctors and surgeons and things, and they have their hands in shirt.

I was suggesting that Mandipe for the future of our pond hockey team, maybe not a huge policy, but just something that, you know, allows you a little kitty to come be with us. If you can't score anymore, you're still going to be around the team? Well, you had the kids pancakes for breakfast. He had the cowpoke. Yeah, he had the little cowpoke breakfast. So maybe that was the answer.

He didn't get all bogged down with carbs and dough. And I think the Wolverine was trying to take the edge off a hangover, and he went to Caesar back to back, but didn't realize they were doubles. And so the creativity was off the charts at about 10.30 in the morning. We dropped the puck because he had four ounces of vodka in about 20 minutes. He didn't realize. These are doubles?

Yes. Yes, they are. That makes sense. I'm feeling way better. Look at those unies. Fantastic stuff. Last regulation loss for Vladar, by the way. November 26, Carolina.

October, yeah, November. So it's two months since he's lost. It's not his job to care about the salary cap or who's making more money. Just put your best roster out there. And right now, if that's the case, then it's got to be Vlodar. And I don't think that, Vlodar is not Craig Billington or some journeyman where you know that chances are. The air is going to come out of the balloon. There's no rallying cry.

Like, all right, you got to win one for Vlodar. No one allow any shots tonight. He's been great. Play him. Play him. It's a good boy. He's a sweet boy. Village Honda, the proud presenter of the Pinder Report.

They want to buy your car? Yes, they do. Those creeps have been looking at your tree. I know. Every time I go in there, I'm like, hey, hey, hey, Anthony, back off. Just take that money out of your hands. Put it back in your pocket. I'm here to get this detailed.

I'm not selling you my car yet. Sell them your car. You get paid in 20, four hours time, no hassle. If you're interested, if you're thinking, maybe, get your no hassle, no obligation appraisal today. It's Village Honda.

Up in the Northwest, Auto Mall, your dealership for life and online, villagehonda.com for VillageHonda. It's the Pinda Report. Well, I mean, we'll start where we usually do, the Calvary Flames. It's a nine day with no hockey game break. They played on Friday in Seattle.

They will not play again until a week from tonight on Broadway at the end. know. Manhattan. Oh, it's Dallas. No. There's a Broadway in Nashville, though. I didn't want to confuse anyone. It's true, yeah, yeah.

Their only visit against the Rangers on the road will be the opener. It's the first of four in a row on the road. They'll go to Detroit, Buffalo, Ottawa, as you take a peek at the schedule there. Yeah, look at that. Six of their next nine games, make it seven of their last, of their next 10 are on the road. And they've already played, I believe,

more road games and home games. So I know you being the math wisters, you are, you would be expecting a lot of home games in March and April to wrap up the season. I'm just, I think the first thing you do is where's, where are you, where do you have to win? Where are you unlikely to win? What, what do you expect out of the month? Yeah, Vegas and Colorado on the road with three and four. Those are going to be tough. Boston in, Boston anywhere would be tough. Anywhere is, is rough. Philly's not having a great year. At home, two o'clock game. I don't know. That's holiday Monday here in Alberta, family day.

Sorry, Alex. Gotta beat Ottawa. You've got two against... Even though the rebuild's over in Ottawa and they're within striking distance of the Bidard soup stakes. You do still have to beat them, yeah. You have to beat the coyotes. And I don't know what Detroit is,

but you see them twice in the next two weeks. Ditto for the Rangers, although I think we know a little more about the Rangers. I feel Detroit could be a tough out, but there's also a night where it's like, yeah, they just let in six. So what are... So splits?

Splits? With the Rangers, sure. With Detroit? No, you've got to take three or four. Okay. Buffalo will be a good game. We'll have 10.30 a.m. mountain time. Rhett might even watch that on TV, or do you think we get him to that building?

He'll be somewhere else. I don't know where he'll be in Jamaica or something. Where he won't be is on this show. So, yeah, you hope for a split against the Rangers. Yeah, you'd love three or four against Detroit. They're plucky, though, dude. Yeah, Ottawa and Philly would feel like must wins this time of year. Buffalo, I just, they can score.

Settled out. Boy, don't lose to Arizona. Because I'll tell you what, this losing is Chicago and Columbus stuff? Oh, I know. There's no, boy, no. Yeah. It's a little too much of the, hey, who's coming in next? Yeah, well, why don't we just have some fun tonight because we don't have to try to beat those guys.

That hasn't worked well this year. That game on the 25th, obviously, will be the return of Nazim Cadry to Colorado for the first time. Have they not been there yet? Not yet. Yeah. I'll be good. Yes, sir. He was a good lanch.

He was a very good lanch. Yeah. As far as lances go, solid. Real quick of the standings, we talked about it earlier, but just to get the visual here, they said a ninth in the west by points percentage and by points. And yeah, all of a sudden, LA, it's like, okay, they played two more.

They're five up. So, you know, it's close, but you can't be losing to bad teams. You need, you're going to need something to happen here, like you said. Someone's got to stub their toe there. Can Phoenix Copley come down to earth a little bit? What Minnesota? Well, they've got Carolina. I think tomorrow is one of the remaining games on this week.

There's not many. Speaking of which, you know, before we get to that, it was this day in history, by the way. Oh, yeah. They're one of the greats. And one of these guys arrived in Calgary. Cooner. Weightlifter.

Cooner. Jamie McCallan. Hey, this. Brought his mustache with him, too. 1983, separate baggage for the mustache. Straped it on here after three years. with OSU. I didn't realize you.

Would he have had the mustache at OSU? That would be impressive. College mustache? Not easy to pull off. Not a lot of guys have the... I feel like he would be able to do it. Follicles at that point. I know.

I'll Google it. Do you have a McCallin anecdote or just a thought about how we fit into that lunch pail cream? Yeah, I do. And it's not a good one. Oh, is it that fight? It's not a good one. Is it the Vancouver fight?

No, he fucked the Jets. Oh, Jesus. He fucked the Winnipeg Jets. So you were in Manitoba at the time, obviously. You ask him about it. You know, I can't even go to Manitoba anymore without people coming up and telling me about it. Jets in a playoff series, they got the flames on the fucking ropes. And this prick comes over and cross-checks Dale Howard Chuck right in the fucking ribs, breaks his ribs.

Howard Chuck's out, series over. Prick! That's how you, hey, it's a prick. Wow, welcome to Calgary anniversary. Yeah, happy anniversary. right you. Light slate, one game in the NHL today as we go from the Flames to the National story. It is the Jets and the Blues tonight. You got to check socials. I got some Betway bets lined up for after the show today involving this one game. This is an interesting one.

The Jets could do a favor to the Flames as the Blues are behind them in the standings there. We don't want St. Louis getting any ideas thinking their playoff team. Don't let them, we don't need this anymore crowded than it is. Nashville's already right there. Two, two games in hand, three points behind you. Friggoff, Blues, not this year. And Trades Tarasanko, please. Think you'd come here yet or not yet? He's got no move.

I bet he'd say no still. Maybe he sees the deadline. There's a lot of guys they don't want to come to Canada. I don't know a part of it. But if you're going to be in the playoffs, just three meetings, you can stay in a hotel all the time. They'll probably have options. So old Armstrong will probably have a few things on the table.

That would be a sought-after guy, I would think. I think that there was always kind of a knock against him. list is going to be interesting. I feel like he's been around and has done enough by now. I thought it came back and had a really good year last year off the shoulder surgery that dispelled a lot of the concerns about, ooh, you know,

two years of the shoulder, and a bit of maturity too. I didn't think he was ever going to play for St. Louis. That looked like a pissy kind of a situation. They kissed and made up long enough to potentially get something good for him in a deal. I had a couple of Sabres notes for Rhett, who said thanks, but no thanks today on doing the show.

First off, they really don't like Jack Eichel in Buffalo. We know that. It didn't go well. And I'm sure there's some ownership both on the organizational side and Jacks as well. You know what they did love is the Eichael trade, not just because it got the turd that didn't like out of town. Alex Tuck, 53 points and 47 games. Jack Eichol, 34 points and 36 games. Never mind the first.

Never mind Peyton Krebs. Never mind all the other assets they got in that deal. And oh, yeah, the salaries. He's making less than half of what Eichl's making, both 26. all right. And that's from our boy. I was going to say that's your statistician. Daniel Negrano.

Daniel Negra. A poker dude who was at the Flames Poker Tournament last week. So all of a sudden he's telling me Jacob Pelcher is on his fantasy team. Like how deep is that lake? Holy. It is a great deal for Buffalo.

Because you had, you were in an unwinnable spot almost. Yeah. It felt like the Dushan spot in Colorado. They're never going to be able to get enough value. They're going to lose this deal. And, potentially the bad guys for how they controlled Ikel and the surgery.

They weren't going to let them do it and all of this. There was a lot. I think there was a lot more people in the Eichael camp than we're in Buffalo's camp. And that has... For sure. It felt like a pissing contest. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, Tuck is in and is from there and wants to be there. And make no mistake. Those points, that's not an unhappy guy. That's a guy loving life. He's digging being a saber. No shit. 23 goals. Scary news for the sabers. Tage, our boy.

The human highlight reel? Not skating this morning. It's going on with Tage. Miss practice. Day to day. UBI. It's an upper body. Oh,

I see. Yeah. It's not that urinary bladder. No, it's upper body. We hope that's not serious. He's had an absolutely sensational superstar campaign.

Yeah. Go ahead. Score 60, Tage. Have fun, would you? And if it's an upper body thing, you're talking like six,

seven, eight feet in the air. Yeah, it's like diagnosing a neck injury for a giraffe. It's going to be tough. So high. Could you lay down, please?

Sad news in the hockey world this morning as superstar, Hall of Famer, and iconic goal score, Bobby Hull has passed at the age of 84. The Golden Jet, a bit of a checkered life away from the rink and on it, one of the more dynamic scores ever. First to score 50, first million dollar man in hockey. Two hearts, three scoring titles, a superstar. He was, yeah, a checkered passed first. sure. Off the ice, you know, plenty of stories about

his treatment of women and wives and certain things. As a professional, he believed in himself. If I'm not getting paid, I'm going to the W.A., I'm going to Winnipeg. Sure. You're going to Winnipeg. He didn't care.

Who's going to pay me? He was a hired gun. So in that respect, he was a big fan of Bobby Hall, but could he score it? And who would have thought that you'd have a son that would be as good or better? Breastcard 76. You never got through that number in the NHL, but did have some 70 plus cool ears in the WHA, which is ridiculous.

We're a hairpiece. Yeah, he's very bald and then very hairy again when you watch the highlight reels in memoramium sort of like videos that people are doing or whatever. Spoiler alert. I mean, in passing. Sorry, but I know that's not how you want to be remembered. That's a shot now that he's going. You bring that up. What's your thing about hair pieces?

I still know where they come from. Is it like an old loved pet that they repurpose? No. Or what is it? Your thing about hair pieces that I enjoy. I just think like, can you trust someone with a hairpiece? Because they're kind of lying to you, aren't they?

They're lying to everybody. They're lying right in your face. They're fucking lying. They're fucking liars. So you're lying about that. What aren't you lying about? They're keeping a secret to the world. But we know.

You don't think we know. We fucking know. Yeah. Okay, it's not blending nice in here. You're really, you really think you're pulling one over on me, don't you? You're not tricking me. Ass hat. I'm not fooled.

To the NFL. Did anyone else get away with the greatest football annual life hack? Honey, I'm going to need to watch two football games this weekend, but to make it up to you next weekend, no football. I'll just, whatever you family stuff. I'm sure there will be football on, but I'm not going to watch any of it. So there it is. is a reminder that you may have missed it. This was your chance.

Now, we were in Jasper, so, you know, we had our own excuses. Well, I had my wife with me, so. That's true. Unlike you. Mine declined, again. That's an odd trend. Didn't want to go away with you for three days. Yeah, but she definitely did let me hear about it, that it was a lot of work while.

I bet it was. Yeah. That's why I've invited you on this vacation so you can chill out. Yeah. And she had just taken your kids solo to another country and left you at home to get obliterated for three weeks. Yeah, I can't imagine why she's hot. Yeah. Well, okay.

The Cincinnati, Kansas City game was an absolute thriller. Joe Burrow gets a ball with two and a half minutes left inside his own 10-yard line, I believe at the six. That drives stalls. Back to Mahomes, it goes. Gimpy football game doesn't look right. And sure enough, on a third and long, there he is scampering on a bad hoof, just getting a first down.

And as he does, it was it Joseph Osai, I believe. The linebacker had a great game and already tipped the pass and created a bunch of chaos, gives him a pull. push, that's the 15 yards, that puts them into field goal range with three seconds left. Chiefs are on again to the Super Bowl and we've got another great rivalry now born because, yeah, Cincinnati had never lost at Arrowhead, there's a side you had to feel for him. Good Lord, he was absolutely shattered. All that work you put in all year, you're that close and just a silly judgment of a split second and cross his team.

It is a penalty. There was plenty of haranguing going on on social media after this one. about the mud on that. There were some other things that potentially you could point at the reps and say, well, you know, what the hell? I have a hard time believing that at any other point in any other game,

that's not going to be a flag. No, that's always called, especially on a quarterback. If it's a running back, maybe you don't. But a quarterback on the sideline of that white, if you touch them, you're getting that flag. And here he has post game, he had to answer questions, and teammates were right beside and consoling them.

It was a tough scene. It was good to see the Bengals rally around them. That's the type of thing. thing that you feel like, you know, that could ruin a guy's life if he wants to take it too hard and he was taking it rough on the sidelines. It wasn't just one play, but it was one that moved them into field goal range with 10 seconds left, so it's done. And it's, it's the timing of it. If that happens in the first or second quarter, still probably a dumb penalty, you know, you shouldn't be doing it, but you have, and I thought that their coach, I'm drawing the blank on

his name, but he said, he was asked about, yeah, asked about the play. He's like, there's four quarters of football. Yeah. That play at that time is obviously inconvenient, but you could see Burrow when he was walking to the handshake. He's just like, fucking unbelievable. He couldn't believe that you play all season, you win, playoff games, all of that.

And it comes down to the last minute, bad penalty, field goal range. And didn't everyone, even with a bad foot, think this is too much time? You can't give Mahomes the ball here with 40 seconds. I don't care how deep you pin him, this is trouble. And it always is. And it's always Kelsey. And it's always him of his feet. and it's always third and long and they find a way to convert.

And you look at who they were without yesterday. Like Juju was hurt. Cadarious Tony goes, this was not the- Nicole Hardman's been missing most of the year. He won them that football game. So this sets up Philly and KC for the Super Bowl. What's our two-week narrative that we're going to be exhausted of probably by dinner time tonight?

Well, there's a few, right? There's Andy Reid, the Andy Reid, 14 years in Philly, 10 and KC now. First time to black quarterbacks will face off in a Super Bowl. Okay, there you go. And then, of course, the Kelsey Bowl. It is going to be the Kelsey Bowl as the brothers, Jason and Travis, who co-host a podcast together, will for the first time in the history of the NFL face off as brothers in a Super Bowl championship game.

I love podcasts. They're great. I'm about to read up on them. I've heard some things. I don't know what to believe and whatnot. There it is, hey? And look at this. And see how they'd swap jerseys, their brothers?

But yet the names are the same. It's still their name. Oh, because they're cute. And I saw there was a picture of their mom. Oh, she's got a jersey. Half chiefs.

Half eagles. Boy, that's going to be a tough Super Bowl watch for her. I bet she just hopes that it's a good game. Yeah. Yeah. There was another jersey swap that I don't know that I saw on the telecast, but I saw on Twitter somehow. Let's see this one.

What was it? Yeah. Yeah, there is. It's the head official. Mahomes. If you're not paying really close attention, it's, I mean,

it's pretty good. If you're not watching it on YouTube. There's a lot to moan about if you're a Cincinnati fan with some of the officiating, but it's not easy either. The, the photo that Ryan's referencing is the post-game jersey swap, and it's Patrick Mahomes swapping a jersey with the referee.

Yeah. So the referee's been photoshopped holding the Mahomes jersey, and Patrick is holding these stripes. It's pretty good. It's, yeah. Love, love, love, love. Social media is the best

and it's not the worst. You always say that. It's always the worst, but then it's the best once in a while. Finally, got a little bit of, I guess,

some viz from the weekend up in Jasper. Never like to see a hardworking young man get hit with a puck in the face. Unless it's one of those turds from where there's nation,

in which case, here's the video. It's awesome, then, yeah. Have a good look. Look at a seam pass. Get out of here. Bink.

Immediately leaking. Just. split. Right on the chin. You know what though? Your M-Chuk, a bit of a pretty boy. Can't hurt long-term. A little scar there on the chin?

Yeah. He's got the bubble on. Come on. He could use some... Sudagon full cage. He could use some scars, some street crack. Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah.

Get him a little more grizzled. Ooh. So that was off your stick, hey? Yeah. We're not going to let that shit fly. All part of our game play. That's right. Look at Sarah Valley.

Look at Sarah Valley. concerned. He's like, ah, God, I can use a breather. Thanks. That's perfect time. You know what, Alex?

Let that one go one more time. So Frank is in the, the Oilers Nation jersey with the white bucket on. As it comes down, tip pox. So there comes Frank up the ice. Look at everybody else.

Oh, hey. You took that one. Jesus. Even Prince's going in. Look at Prince. He's going in. Frank's, uh, yeah, I'm good.

Yeah. Whatever. Team mates for a day. It's a tight bond. A prick. Has you need a towel? And finally, they were doing podcast. They're keen up there, hey, those Oilers guys?

I know, yeah. They are keen. It's like 2 a.m. and they're hammering darts on a pad. Let's do another pod. It's like, settle down guys. You can turn it off at some time. They love podcast. We took a little bit of one as apparently some mischief up there that we've got to get to the bottom too.

Not sure. What? Yeah. I don't have a kid. Up to quiet five goal lead. Look, I don't mean to rile anyone up and post any bulletin board material, but someone from Flames Nation. peed all over the

O-N truck last night. Like actually peed on the truck or just the tires. Wow. They wanted to send a message. Those are good tires. They were marking their territory. Wow. I know the individual in question.

I'm going to go shit on the windshield of the Jeep. We're beaten him bad. Who am I open ice hitting? We don't name names. We don't need to name names. So Frank was happy to stir it up and kick the hornet's nest and then not name the name. Boomer.

No. Yeah, yeah. So there was that, which I was, I didn't know that happened until this morning. Yeah. So two things. No one did shit on the hood of the Jeep, thankfully. And the other would be. Princey was the one that pissed on the tires.

That's right. Yes. That took about two seconds. He's like, hey, guys, did you hear this? It was me. Yeah, in the real life podcast, they were talking to somebody peed on the tires of the. That sounds aggressive. Yeah, yeah, I know.

That was me. Yeah, it was me. Yeah. That's a boy, Princey. Honesty is about a policy, do you know. the brand. There's no doubt in his allegiance. No doubt in his allegiance. I'm just happy you didn't stick anyone. He was actually, uh, I was a little concerned. He was intimidated against zeroless rather than over aggressive. I thought maybe we'd get into the cocktails and then it'd be all, yeah,

well, you and this and that. I mean, Prince he's seven feet tall. That's right. Start flinging oilers nation people around. Be bad scene. Be bad scene. Do one of the Derek England's, one each. Yeah, have to get Jared in there to police everything. Biting people's ankles, trying to loosen them up. Princey. Look at them. Look at them. Hey? Well, fairly well behaved, all things considered. Oh, he's going to come on here. Is he going to come on?

Now, I wonder, though, because his wife was there, I wonder if he was by himself, if he'd have been a little bit more belligerent. He was pretty well behaved, though. I was disappointed. My work wife was with me when the incident went down. The Wolverine did not supervise, and he may or may not have encouraged me to go.

Really? So it's the Wolverine. Yeah, he didn't stop me. A Wolverine has no religiousness. I saw that big blue shirt. your dick back in your pants. He just let you pee? Yeah, no, no, that's exactly what he did.

I also said, hey, where's in his bathroom? He pointed right at that truck. You know, kickers to have a holder. They didn't, uh, okay, never mind. That's your Pinned report for Village Honda. There it is. Ah, you're welcome, Village Honda. VillageHonda.com.

That's right. So no football this week. But then the following weekend, it's the big game. We have a plan? What are we doing? Yeah, we do, Ryan. Yeah, let's get the calendar right here. Yeah, we do.

You may not have it in there. I'm just right down right now. You may not have it in there. Do you have anything that weekend? I got Super Bowl. It's clearly blocked off. That's right. We are going.

to the Grey Eagle. Oh! Resort and Casino. Yes, sir. Our new partners joined on, what about a week ago, a little week and a half ago. We're getting things set up.

I don't want to say too much because we're getting excited, but we are going to be at the Grey Eagle for the Big Game on February 12th. That is the date of the Super Bowl. They got it right there. Yeah, the 12th is the date of the Super Bowl,

but we're going for the Big Game Watch Party over at Gras. Grey Eagle. Right. Yes. At the stage bar, lots of seating. Maybe halftime.

You want to go on, do a little bit of that. You know what I'm saying? Whistling? Yeah. You may want to do a little bit of that. Why would you want to come? Well, we're going to be there.

We're going to be doing some things. There's giveaways, as you would expect. It's a, oh, we're going to have, at halftime. We're going to have prizes and jerseys and give away. Everybody's doing that, right? But you're at the casino. Bang, bang, bung, bung. Energy level is high.

We're going to be here. Yeah. Wings, pitcher of beer, $12 for each. Nope. Wings and a pitcher of beer, $12. Did you do the math on this? I did. That's a problem.

But then they said, okay, we'll go with it. It's like, that's a shitty deal for us. You realize we're going to lose a lot of money doing this. That's a terrible deal, boomer said it. We have to do it. No. Are you kidding me? You got an order of wings and a pitcher beer, 12 bucks.

Plus enter to win one of four draws for $100 in free slot play. And you can enter the Grand Prize draw a brand new, not used like Warner would have. A brand new 65 inch Samsung TV and soundbar. That day only. The big day, the big game Sunday, that day you come in, draw, shing, brand new TV and cellar. Soundbars are nails too. You're set up. You can't have.

You can't do it. You can't do it with the TV without the soundboard. So they're going to get you all set up. It is the big watch party at the stage bar at the Grey Eagle. Join us. casino coming up in a couple weeks time. I'll see you there. Well, yeah, I know you will now.

What's the magic number for, because it's going to be awkward when I order the pitcher in wings and they're going to ask how many glasses. You don't even need to bring any that's got a handle on the picture itself. There's a better chance of him sharing his wings than the picture of beer. Oh, did you want a wing? Yeah, yeah. Help yourself.

Here I got him. Sorry, I had to order a second order because I was thirsty. I've got a loose dozen wings here. Come grab them. That's a hell of a deal. That's a great deal. It's a hell of a deal. I'm not, you know, I ordinarily I kind of watch you,

and I'm like, I don't know if I can pender. I won't even begrudge you. That's a deal too good to pass up. Yeah, good. Gray Eagle on the beautiful Tina Nation. Good setup there. And now we know who's playing. Yeah, it's Kelsey Bowl.

What's your vibe today? Phillies looked really, really good for almost all the season, and other teams have had segments where they've looked dominant and then a few hiccups, like bills looked unreal, a month or two in, and then I was like, what's going on here?

They do what you have to be able to do, which is run the ball and play defense. It's Mahomes on the other side, though, right? I know. And it's two weeks, so he's going to be more mobile than he was yesterday, and a little more comfortable planting on that back foot, erring it out a little more, I'd think.

It's tough to bet against Mahomes. It's tough to find, any blemishes on the Eagles schedule. They've been phenomenal. There will be things that come up over the next couple of weeks, injuries and all that sort of thing. But when Philadelphia has Jalen Hertz on the field,

would they have one loss? Wild. They didn't even need to use them the whole game on Sunday. I don't know how dialed in, because we were all driving back from Jasper. We had the game on in the old nation truck. So we're listening to the playbop. I play. And it was just a comedy of errors. It's, uh, Purdy's in. Oh,

Purdy's hurt. And in comes Josh Johnson, his 14th NFL team. Yeah. And it's, oh, it's a fumble. Oh, it's a turnover. Oh, and now Josh Johnson's going to the tent. They did put on a bomb and a salve from what I heard. Which who? Some salve and then a bomb on, uh, on big cock, Brock's arm. Because they had the, the elbow and the, and the, they're putting a bomb. They're putting some salve and a bomb on the, on his elbow and his bicep. Kevin Harlan. So great. It's good, yeah. Will he be coming back into the game?

As it turned out, he was not coming back into the game. Well, he did come back into the game after Josh Johnson had to go to the 10th, but it was too little too late. It was a nightmare for the Niners. So they start the year, Tray Lance is our guy. We traded up to select him a couple drafts ago. Injured Game 1, Monsoon Storm against Chicago. Okay, well, we couldn't trade Jimmy G, but I guess we have to use him now,

and he's fine, and they start rolling with Jimmy G. And then he gets certain he's done for the year. Then it's Big Save Brock or whatever we're calling him. and he comes in and all of a sudden they've won 12 in a row to get to the conference final game. He gets hurt. The four turner gets hurt. I don't know has there been four quarterbacks lost to injury by the same team in a year? Poor bastards.

The shittiest part of it is, obviously if you're a Niners fan or you're part of that team, you have to be wondering, what do we need to do to have a healthy quarterback? You can't help it. But that game yesterday would have been tremendous if even if Purdy, because even the conversation coming in is, are they moving Tray Lance? Like is that done? They'd trade it up and he was going to be the guy and grapple all you're out because it's Lance's team and then he got now this Purdy kids got to play. I don't know if this changes that

at all or what their... It's a pretty small sample, but he's looked pretty damn good. Is it a per... Pretty. Pretty small. I'll apologize for that later. You know what today is? I wasn't going to do a show today. I know where you would have been. I wasn't going to do a show today.

because it's Monday. And Monday means half-price wings over at Montana's. Half-price. Half-price. You can go in and you may want to pay full price. You'd be like, hey, no, no, I'm no one special. I'm no VIP. Sorry, you must be confused with somebody else.

I'm no dignitary. I may hob-nob with some upper crust, the elite. It's a very, very loose relation, the queen. It's not, like, there's 164th. I just want to be treated like everyone else. I don't need these delicious wings at half price. And they will say, no, no, sir, madame, this is for everybody. No matter who you are, you walk through the door today, you're getting half price wings.

Well, what's the occasion? Is there a reason to celebrate? Well, there is. It's Monday. That's right. And that's what we do here at Montana's. Now, if you have a tough time with that kind of response to your question, maybe they'll allow you to pay full price for the first one. but then bring you a free second order.

I could see that working out. Whichever, however you want to convince yourself. Yeah. Here's what I would recommend doing. Do the half price thing. Okay. Tip your server a little extra. Okay.

Because they're not bringing out half of the wings. No, they don't weigh half as much. No. You're just paying half. They're not half-sized chickens. No. Tip your servers, you cheap.

Also, we've been doing a lot, we've been talking about Montana's here for a little bit. Go to their web. website, montana's dot ca, find the location nearest you, Montana's barbecue and bar starting this week and every week pretty much throughout the month of February. It's not February yet, but it is very soon. We are going to be giving away some gift cards so that you can go. Don't just take our word for it. We went there the other day. We had stuff from the value menu and all that. The comfort menu. Yeah. Yeah. Coming up, thank you, the comfort menu. Oh, so good. So good. And so much there.

$25 gift card this week. We're going to pick somebody and you're going to get a brand new $25 gift card. It's going to be full, not 20. It's not half full on Monday. No, no, no. $25. We don't want to confuse you. $25.

Here's what you got to do. You go to the contest post. We're going to have it on Flames Nation social media. You go find it. Tag your friends in the comments. Go in there, hey, we should go sometime. Hey, Big Save Brock.

Let's get out and get some wings. Tag your friends. Follow the show. Follow the Montana's social media's. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. The draw date you can see there is coming up. I actually have it blocked by my screen because we're doing February 2nd.

I don't want to give anything away, but, you know, there might be another gift card to give away you down the road, and then maybe another gift card to give away or down the road. But Montana's putting their money where their mouth is. The food is top shelf, and they want you to come and see for yourself. So do that. Coming up on the second, we'll draw that, and somebody's going to be taking that $25 gift card to go and enjoy some Montana's.

Perfect. So you could wait and try and win the $25, or you could just go today and have half price swings. Both. It's not initially exclusive. And they are good wings. Don't mind saying. Oh, you're just saying that, boom.

I wouldn't lie. Big. I wouldn't do it. Get the video of me hammering one of those. Like, oh, my goodness. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Crispy, crispy.

Yeah, yeah. I don't really want to do this just because it looks horrible on my ability to pick football. But time for our betway bets. Last week, we did the NFL. Were you going off to George? Because I know for a while this season you were on such. a cooler that you went opposite George and you had a great couple of weeks. No, no. No. So that'd be a good excuse if you went 0 and 2 or something like that. I kind of said,

I was going opposite George. You know what? I kind of turned it around. I had a three and a week. And then I think I was two and one the next week. I actually was feeling pretty good about myself. Did not have this weekend dialed in. I thought that Burrow was going to find a way I'd basically a pickum. Yeah. And you know what? That line swung again in other two points. We talked about all that movement, the week. That was on Thursday. And by kickoff of Sunday, it was another two points back to Kansas City. Kansas City was favored. What a ride that line was.

Holy. Well, and if weren't for the flipping refs, maybe I would have won. Yeah, that's true. For refs' fault. And obviously, uh, the quarterbacking stuff did not help, but I don't know if it would have mattered potentially yesterday. San Fran plus two and a half did not come through as the Eagles win going away. So I go over two yesterday.

Eagles look well-oiled. I was frustrated too because I got on the road yesterday coming back from Jasper. No cell service. I was going to maybe, you know, put a few shots. Geez, I can't get cell service. I save myself. About a hundred bucks. There you go.

Yeah. How'd you do? One for two. I had the Eagles. We were all on Joe Burrow. Yeah. At Borough Head. Burrowhead.

But apparently it's still Arrowhead. And that's the first time Mojus has beat the Bengals. I shouldn't say beat the Bengals. When Joe is quarterbacked the Bengals. Burrow head my ass. It's Mahomes' house. Yeah. That's his boy.

T. Kelsey. Kelsey was. he was very on point post game. He was very Kelsey. With his wrestling, cutting wrestling promos and stuff. Yeah, that is true. Yeah.

Know your role and shut your damn mouth. Cincinnati mayor. Yeah, he did take a lot of Cincinnati. You jabroney. It's like jabroney. This is someone else's act. It's good stuff. Excuse me, not Jason Travis.

All on the Bengals. And I thought two and a half minutes, he's got the ball. It's like, here it is. You want to start cementing a hall of fame resume. It could be after their second Super Bowl in a row in what is third or fourth year. Two wins in Arrowhead in championship games.

That would have been something. Instead, uh, intentional grounding, you lose it down. Ballback in Mahomes' hands with 40 seconds left. And we've seen this script before. It never ends well for the other guys. Red Hat picks in on Thursday. He also went 0 for 2. And I think probably if you want to be more specific, 0 for 3, because you know he has the

bills every week. Yeah. And they did not cover. Yeah. I couldn't find the result, so I don't know where they did not do it. And right now, the lines, what is it? It's basically a pick-um? No, Philly favorite by two.

That was this morning on that way. Check that out. And I get it. There's still some questions around KC, mostly the foot of Mahomes and the health of some of their weapons. There's not a lot of questions around Philly right now. It's not being, I mean, what is it? Back-to-back wallopings in the postseason. They have a buy and then two blowout wins.

That must be fun. Playing really good football on. one's even come close to beating you yet. Speaking of Philly, I think he's back home. Frank Zerevalley, NHL Insider. He'll join us tomorrow for a little bit. That turncoat, that traitor. Trader, yeah. And from what we saw from the Yeremtick video, awful teammate.

Yeah, I mean, he needed a breather, I think. Only, he's very selfish. He cares only about himself. Back in Philadelphia. He's going to the All-Star festivities. He's a busy guy. I don't know why. I don't know why you'd need to go down. What are you going to be doing down there? Why does Frank need to go to the All-Star game?

Shmozy. Is that what it is? So Frank will join us on the Tuesday edition as well. We're in Hawaiian T-shirts, I think. Pitchers, catchers, pitchers, reporting very soon. It feels crazy here in Calgary and in Canada to be talking about pitchers and catches. But you're in that world and in that scope, it's coming up here.

And our buddy, our boy. Calgarian. He's got plans because pitchers and catchers. He's one of those. Mike Soroka, Calgarian, Atlanta Braves, Throar, is going to join us here in studio for a quick chat before he heads out of town tomorrow. We had him on a few, I guess what, not long after we got the show going back in October. I feel like we had him, October, November?

Yeah. It was good to catch up with him. He's been through a shitload dealing with his body. He said this was his first anything close to normal offseason where he actually said rehabbing was training. I tell you, there's not many that have been. dealt with the type of adversity he's faced with his body. He's an incredibly mature guy. And I don't know that he's here right now if he's not as mature as he is in terms of,

you know, they're fighting for a job in Atlanta and it's got to sigh young votes as a rookie. I'm like, this is a talented cat. We've been lucky to talk to him for a number of years on the, the radio show prior to this and obviously now. And the maturity is, it's striking if you've,

if you've been around the guy at all going back the number of years, he really was kind of a young, he was just a young, gangly kid who could really throw. Yeah. Who was it, who could just throw a hundred miles an hour. And now you talk to him and just how I guess you have to be. You go through that. You talk about life experiences and the ups and the downs of World Series and then you're injured again and you can't be part of that whole thing.

He's such a mature guy now, despite really being in, in the scope of life, just a young kid still. Well, and earlier in life, he lost a family member and that's, you know, that forces you to grow up quick. His older siblings, he's the youngest by a significant margin. I think he's been, all those difficult things he's had to deal with have allowed him to overcome what's been a really tough two years for his body. So that's tomorrow. Two weeks. Two weeks. Yeah, because he's got to, he's got to get his stuff together. He said, before you head out, why don't you come by for a little sit down? He's going to do that with us tomorrow. Love it.

Here in the Tower Chrysler Studios. Is that a show? Do we just do a show? That's a show. Yeah. We weren't going to do one. That's free. We weren't going to charge you for that one. Yeah, this is a bonus show. Yeah. So next time we take. a day off like maybe Friday don't get mad at this because this was free today maybe we should do that you want to take Friday should probably take Friday okay okay see at the ship see you at the ship perfect that'll do it have a great uh great day everybody we'll see you uh we'll see you we'll see you tomorrow red would say it where there sucks see you buddies
