Okay, showtime. Barnburner. Tuesday, it's us. Who else would it be? If it's this show, if it's this podcast, you've come here for a reason, you know who it is. You know those three dopes?

Yeah, it's them. Those three idiots. Same dummies that are there every day. There's Warner, there's Pinder, I'm Boomer. Game Day, get your helmet on, flames that whole thing. But, Rhett, you were, so what's the Rettster? You see them there on the old YouTube. What's the,

weather where you are in New York? It's the typical gray. There's not a lot of, you don't get the crystal clear blue skies like you do in Cowtown, but would be 50 out, probably 45, 50, which is 10, 12. Yeah. Well, I had, because you were saying, I hear it's cold out there. I have, I was just, he was doing some research in the back. And apparently, the Weather Network, if not them, who else would know?

Kind of business. We are dealing with, it's official, it's a, Laninia. What? Yeah. La Nina's here? I read about that yesterday. La Nina pattern characterized by cold ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, returning once again, likely meaning colder and snowyer weather,

That's good for the snowpack, Dean. We like that on the hills. We got to get set up with a mountain here. Let's go. January and February will offer some respite from a front-loaded winter, but buckle up, sister, because she's going to be nipply here for a little bit.

Bring the snow. Go on the snow. But here's the thing. These fools could get the outdoor rink going across the street from my house. I'd be a little more excited about this. They've wasted a lot of cold overnights here. Why do you get to

point the finger. You're part of the community. Feel free to volunteer and get your ass. I literally went to the website to look where I could throw my name in the hat because whoever's in charge is blowing it. I'm at that point now where it's like the urine incompetence is going to spur me into action.

I'll do the damage. I'll even know what I'm doing. God forbid that you have to give up a night of boozing to actually Oh no, you can easily booze while you make a rink. I've talked to experts. The old booze and fly. B.I.H. It's a beer in hand activity. No sweat. Wow, it depends on the temperature out there.

It's hard to hold on to a beer when it's this car. You're going to need some snowmobile in middies for sure, but yeah, you could do it. No, what's your sitch out there? Because you, when you were here, you were fancy living on the lake. And you just, you would say, did you flood the lake? How do you do that, Rhett? No, we got a Zamboony for that. Okay.

And they're lazy too, because they got to have 13 inches of ice. We can't go on the ice, 13 inch. Not safe. Lazy. That's what that is. They're lazy. So what do you have a back? I'll have a

Kevin from Superheroes hockey Institute and he can tell you about being on a Zamboni as it goes through the ice in a lake in Calgary and we can revisit the lazy versus safety argument if you'd like, Rhett. I was driving by your former home last night and the lights are all up on the Christmas trees around there and it's very beautiful. And it reminded me of the night

of your amazing race and I was trying to remember who was in the sumo suits racing across the lake to go up the hill. Cruiser, the guy that did the hot tub turkey. The turkey defrost, yeah. Was he there? Yes. Yes.

It was part of the adventure that night. Warner got the sumo suits from the flames, fired two dummies into them, and then they had to run through the backyard across the lake, up the toboggan hill, and then back. neither one of them made it back. Running in that suit.

Was there four? You've got it wrong. It was four and two made it back. Two were incapacitated. Funker fell down. He was a turtle. He got stuck on his back. He couldn't flip over.

I was incapacitated laughing at the sumo turtle in the middle of Lake McKenzie. Who's going to help him? Not me. Yeah, me neither. Fuck you, Funker. Too much brown booths. Too much brown booths. No rescues.

The only reason he got lifted up was because some kids took pity on him. He was in the middle of their rink. Wow. We got to play, mister. Get out of here. And what was a little inside, but we did this whole amazing race thing. And there were teams all of that. The grand prize was what?

Use TV. Well, it was a TV in a box, which we believe. to be a new TV. Oh, come on. It looked like a new TV. You prick. In the box. That is unbelievable. I had to get rid of an old TV. That is so

sinister. Imagine how excited you be and the disappointment. Oh, fuck. I was giving it to Andy McCree. No. Did Andy win? You're missing his birthday. His big Christmas party this week.

Yeah, you could pay someone to come and take it away or recycle it, or you could give it to one of your friends as a... Trick them and laugh at them. As a gift. Surprise. What a night. Oh, you don't live here anymore. I was going to say we should do that again, but you don't, yeah. Flames play tonight.

Yep. And the big news, I mean, two things. A couple items. The most important part, let's be honest. The return of Blasty. Blasty. Blasty. Blasty is back.

Last year, blast. Hey, I was in the gym. other day and my kid goes, hey, dad, look, there was a dude strutten around with a blastie on. Really? In your house? A workout shirt. Actually, might have taken. Didn't come to you for an autograph.

Blasty guy? Come on. Last year, reverse retros, they bring the Blasty back. And I think everyone, if you're watching this, you probably know what it is. The horse head, the black jersey. There's... Look at this. Wow.

Piece of art. I've always loved the color scheme. The logo? I always feel like they left a little on the table. Yeah, you're a little on that side. Now, last year, there were six games. games with Blasty. Yep.

Three and three. Dylan Dubay, four goals in Blasty. Really? Dobs? Yes. Roll in the Blasty. Do you know how many times they wear that thing this year? This is the first, but it's a lot of revenge games. I think they play against Columbus, too, and maybe the Oilers.

12. 12 blast the appearances this year. Well, and the Panthers in the first Kachukhuberdo Bowl wore those baby blue beach. Yeah, yeah. The new river. This year's reverse. Yeah, which I was quite like. And there's the setup.

Everyone's all hot. So, of course, now this year it's blasty, but it's not the reverse retro. It's just blasty because the reverse retro has the, what are they calling that? The pedestal thing. Yeah, I don't. And there's little flames on the wrists that are hard to see. And the other thing about tonight, apparently, Vladar is starting. Also, Huberto put back on the top line of skate yesterday with Lindholm and To Foley.

So I hope you knew that yesterday before you couldn't sleep at night. I thought that might have been one of the things keeping up. No, it's other things that keep me up. Let's get this out of the way because we got our boy standing by our NHL insider. But we have been talking about. Subscribe to our new YouTube page. Get on there. Show us for your subscribe.

We're going to have some tickets tonight. It's the return of Matthew Kuchk. It is a sold out bar and it is going to be. It's a tough ticket to get. We found that out from one of the ladies downstairs. Oh, those shoes. Thanks, anybody, guy, if you got some place tickets. Do you guys have tickets?

You got some tickets. I heard you have a five. I want to go out of the game. Yeah, we got a ticket tree in the corner. Just pull a couple. The ripe ones are at the front. Congrats to Jared Fletcher. Jared.

Oh, boy, Jared. Jared Fletcher. There he is. Oh, Jay Fletcher, old 14 there, assistant proff at Mount Royal. This guy could help your shoulders,

I think, Chris. Look at that. Muscle physiology and biomechanics. No one likes a showoff, Fletcher. Smart ass. He's swimming.

I can't swim. I can't swim. Oh, you can. Well, you can. Well, anyway, congratulations to old J.F. there. Bill Fletcher. He's subscribed to the YouTube's. He's going to the game.

tonight to see the return of Matthew Kachuk. Put down your dumbbells. You're going to the game, Fletch. There is. See the new Fletch? The original, and there was one, there were two Fletches at the time, right? Like, Chevy Chase did the first one. It was very good.

The second one, not as good, which is how that goes. And I think there was a new one. It was it, uh, uh, the guy from Mad Ben. Was it? I don't know. A 1985 comedy thriller. So good. I'll have the steak sandwich and the steak sandwich.

You put it on the underhills, Bill. Um, it's all about ball bearings, Rhett. It's all about ball bearings. What was I going to say? Next chance to win tickets is, uh, right away. Tight turn. Oh. The, uh, the fifth as the Yotes come to town.

Yotes, baby. Tuesday. Yotes. It's a Tuesday? No, Monday Yoties. And then we got tickets for the Wednesday wild game. Oh, Wednesday in a wild. Mad Rose Pub.

Get your flames tickets. Shouts to them. 15 Royal Vista place. Hooking us up with those flames tickets. Let's bring in our boy. He is our NHL insider. He is he's Philadelphia born and raised. He's fly eagles fly.

Jalen hurts this. Looking dapper. Okay, I get it off. It's the silver fox himself. There he is. How's it going for Ikey boy? The silver fox himself wearing silver. I see, there it is.

How still hungover? Oh. No, not hungover. I was just more basking in the world. weirdness of my Thanksgiving just uh we had a little kitchen mishap oh my daughter told her class in grade one yesterday that our house was on fire it was merely a little little oven issue with the broiler are the marshmallows on the sweet potato uh mashed sweet potatoes they got a little a little too close to the broiler so we had a little a little fire activity a little smoke in the house nothing big and uh yeah i think

has a very strange relative, at least one, right? That's like part of the crew that ends up at your house for holidays. See, Sarah Valley is only comprised of the weird relatives. It's all of us. Yeah. Sarahvelli texts me last night. He's like, and one of the, I was house Thanksgiving. Oh, there's always, the first thing he doesn't say, oh, it was great. It was relaxing. It was like, there's always some weird bastard that shows up at your house. It's in your family. So I can only imagine there's got to be some layers to this. And that's the first thing that's off the text chain with Frank. Yeah, I mean, there's not a whole. ton to it. Like he's just one of those like big conspiracy theorist guys. He also,

this is the most important part. He wears a dicky. So like Rhett. I don't know if you guys have, Brett showed up. Like, like he's exactly like cousin Eddie from from Christmas vacation. Snots! He's got the full, the full dicky on that goes underneath the button down shirt. Yeah. It's the same one from 1985, I think. Like they don't even make and sell those anymore. And he's got a penchant for attacking the shrimp tray. Like he's one of those guys that like you look over and it's like Like he is slurping on the shell to get the shrimp out. It's true.

That doesn't make you weird though does it? No, no. That's kind of my go to. That's my play right there. Frank, we were at fishing on the West Coast once and they brought out this tray of fresh seafood right out of the ocean. Beautiful. That boom attacked it like it was his own and they actually came by and said, you guys

going to share with the rest of the guests at the resort. It was for the whole resort and boom absolutely demolished it. Just mayhem. He loves telling this story as though I was the only one that was on these. We know he would attack it, but it was a tag team match. And what pisses me off more is that I'd like to say he's full of it, but he's not. As it was like a small roasting pan. This, like one of those deep roasters full.

Stuff that's in the ocean. It's delicious. I was like, this is unbelievable. Look at this. They went out and got them that day. Make sure there's enough for everyone, guys. Thought this was dinner. Anywho, budget is through the roof.

Huge success here at Barnburner. We just have right outside the door. It's just a lineup of people wanting to be sponsors on this program. Just every day, it's more. Can we just throw in? On yesterday's show, we added a new edition. Insider. We have, you're our insider, but we're getting a little bit, we're drilling down, laser-focused,

looking at netminding. Our goalie guru, our voodoo goalie analyst joined the show yesterday. I don't know if you saw it. Take a look here. It's impressive, impressive debut. I know he knows Mike McKenna, but this is very different. Yeah, this is our goalie. This is our goalie.

He was busy, so we found this guy. Yeah, let's make sure our volume is up on this because there's a lot of pertinent, pertinent info here. It's a lot quick. We had to really slow things down and unpack it. This is big. It is, yeah. If we, yeah.

No, we're just going well. No. There we go. Is it? Yeah. Okay. Stuff press play. I should have been on waivers and not had a job,

but instead I'm leading the league and wins. I was at Carleton in Ontario playing CIS hockey, apply for jobs at DoorDash. Now I'm a number one goalie. What the hell's going on here? Go home, you're drunk, net mining. That's our goalie voodoo. It's our voodoo witch.

Voodoo witch. That was actually Mike Smith. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, as he would know. He just got the inside track on this stuff. It was O. Mark Jones and Logan Thompson leading the league in wins, as we all had on our cards at home at the beginning of the year. But I was going to say, he, she,

whoever it has maybe has a point because even looking this morning, there's Linus O. Mark, Logan Thompson, Vitech, Vanichek, and Marty Jones, one, two, three, and four. We watched Marty Jones in the preseason and thought, is this the same Jones with the name bar that was, you know, Calgary Hitman and then bought out by San Jose? Some goalies we thought were good, have not, and some have performed well that we would expect.

I know it's been a good start for Connor Hellebuck, but here in Calgary, a number one who hasn't had a great start and across the league, there's some guys who have seen. stumbled out of the gates. Last night, Shasturkin said the goaltender was shit. I need to be better. I have to stop all these. These are not goals. So there's, there's last year's Vesna winner. The runner up, Markstrom's not been great. Doodoo. What's your read? What's your read on the goalies? Let me ask you this. Why are you guys surprised? This is the most fickle position in pro sports. It's an absolute roller coaster year in and year out. There's so few guys that you can hang your hat on.

Odyssey, there's maybe three to five guys in the league. And the funny thing is, I would include Chesterkin in that category, but he's out here flogging himself. It's not the quote that got me wasn't the goalie was shit again. It was, I'm ashamed. This is someone that sounds to me like they're having a bit of a crisis of confidence, but you look at his save percentage and the Rangers give up so many shots and so many high danger chances that his safe percentage is still a 913. And people are freaking out. It's the Rangers, they've got a lot to figure out and a lot of work to do.

But as you made your point, with Ladar now starting tonight, which is interesting coming off of the road trip, and Markstrom, you know, sort of continuing to struggle, I even look back at his last five, six games. He's still at, I think, 87. Like, it's not great. And, you know, go down the list. That's your Demko, Vancouver. He's having issues and has had issues all season long.

Vasilevsky has had his moments this year. UC Soros has struggled in Nashville. There's a whole host of guys that have really had down years, and it's no shock that their team is then also struggling. Like breaking news, insider says teams can't win without goalie. Like, that's, you should just change the name of the sport from hockey to goalie. I've been saying that for years. Well, Skinner, too, you think about, excuse me, not Skinner.

Campbell with the five times five has struggled mildly to the point where Skinner now looks like the guy in Ebbing. I mean, it's just, what would your philosophy be if you were in a front office on goaltending? Would you ever go beyond three years? Would you just hunt the bargain bin continually like Carolina has with Rhymers and Freddie Anderson coming off injury and others? I mean, what's the winning play if you're, if you're going to be the brains of a hockey team on goalies? Yeah, spend a very reasonable amount on goaltending and double your odds by spending the same amount on both. Get two middle of the road guys that, you know, can sort of play in tandem one A, one B, ride one guy for five or ten games, then shift to the other one if you need to.

And go about it that way. I think we've reached a point now with sports science and everything else to say, hey, you know, the days of playing 62 games like Jacob Markstrom did last year, probably over in most cases for most guys. How many times did Jay Woodcroft and the Oilers continue to hit on that in the Battle of Alberta, saying it publicly, hey, our guy didn't play 62 games this year. It certainly seemed to be an issue, aside from the fact that, you know, the Oilers also appeared to be in Markstrom's head.

And what's interesting, and I see you leaning forward, Rhett, you played in your career, the run-to-the-cup final with Van Biesbrook, with Florida, Dominic Hachick, and Buffalo, and what Kipper did in Calgary, it would be the flip side to that, that when you've got a stud, There's nothing that equals having that guy in the net.

Broder, why? I mean, you've got to have that guy, right? So I don't under, I guess the only question I have with all of this is why did guys back then, why were they able to play 60 to 70 games and be good in the playoffs? I don't understand why athletes today who supposedly take better care of themselves, supposedly have better mental health code. You know what I mean? Like how is it that they can't play 62 games

and have a good playoff run? I don't understand it. Well, I think the answer is there are exceptions to every rule, but the science would indicate that the players are at their more optimal level or peak performance if they're better managed and well-rested throughout the season as opposed to just strain

under heavy workload. And I think it's more just dealing with soft tissue injuries and things like that that continue to pop up for goalies. It feels like there's been more of those than ever this year. But doesn't that go to practice time then to me? Like you can manage this stuff. Like I'm no goalie. I played with some of the best ever. And they made me a lot of money without question.

But wouldn't you manage their days off differently as opposed to playing them? Do you know what I mean? Like, give him more days off practices. Markstrom doesn't, I don't think. He shouldn't have to practice every day the flames practice. I don't know that he does practice every day the flames practice.

But just as an example, if you're worried about the soft tissues, injuries and the fatigue, give him the F and days off on non-game days. Play the games. Right? I mean, again, I'm not a goalie.

I don't know what it's like to feel. pucks and maybe you want to every day, but there's got to be, I don't know, I don't understand it. There's other ways to manage this stuff. You've got a good goaltender and you're not going to play them. And then they can't find, it's a little bit like football. All of a sudden, you've got biggest sport in the world, most money, and you got quarterbacks that can't, don't seem to be able to do the job. How is that?

Is there not enough young kids out there playing goaltender that they're? can't stop the puck or are the shooters that good this year i don't know you go to a local rink i don't want my kid anywhere near than that they keep asking hey who wants to play goalie this week i'm like not us that's because you only get to play half the games and that's what we're talking about you only get to play half sorry i think the one way to probably whole snow cone at the end or what bribe the kids i think what you're talking about red is things that people in sports science have talked about a lot i think you probably've got some constraints with the roster in terms of having

a second goal you at a practice if you're giving a day off. I know when the taxi squad was here, a lot of teams would give the starter a full day off, not like go do morning skate and get begged, but like take the whole day off. But like there's, I don't think what you're talking about hasn't been thought about and looked at and research. I think all the things you've thrown out there have been really studied heavily. We're here because the science has pushed us here. It's no different than any other sport. Think about starting pitching and how that's changed. You don't see complete games anymore, certain days of rest. And this guy, getting shut down for three weeks in the middle of the season just because he feels arm fatigue.

Like I'm sure a lot of the older guys that played in the 70s and 80s are lat. What do you mean arm fatigue? Like my arm hurt from spring training all the way forward. Last night, Jason Robertson scores again for the Dallas Stars. The Stars beat St. Louis by a score of four to one. He and Jamie Ben are having an unbelievable month. He's basically on the cost of having the greatest month in franchise. He's already done it for Dallas players. I think Dino Cicerelli had a better than Medano. That's a good month. Holy. So he's on a 16 game point streak. He has last year had 41 goals. He's got 19 and 23. Leads the league. What are we seeing? He's 23 years old. And I feel like we're not paying close enough attention given that the guy just signed a, albeit maybe

undervalued already four years, 7.75. But this guy, but this guy, looks, I don't know if he had a different name, if he was in a different market, would we not be falling all over ourselves to get this guy on television and on the internet? I just feel like this is an underappreciated potential superstar. Also from California, by the way. If you're not talking about Jason Robertson, like it's the same people that are coming at me on social media today about Rupert Hince and his new contract. eight years times $8.45 million the extension signed today, $67 million in change. They're saying, oh, what an overpay that is.

You've just outed yourself. Congratulations. You do not watch the Dallas stars. Like, Rupa Hintz is such an essential piece to what Dallas does. There's a reason why they signed him to a contract that essentially matches Miro Haskinen. He's that big of a deal on that team, that fast, that much of a pain the ass, to play against. And Jason Robertson is, to me, when you look at this season and the way that it's unfolded,

if I was filling out my heart trophy ballot today, he would be number two behind only Connor McDavid. And even then I would have to think about putting Robertson in the number one spot. That's how good. That's how consistent he's been. And it's been impressive for both Hints and Robertson to get to the next level after really breaking through last season. You heard Daryl Sutter talk about, hey, we had 340 goals scorers last year.

It's hard when you hit a career year and a plateau to then exceed it, and especially to do it by a massive number. Matthew Kachuk, coming back to the dome tonight, first time. By the way, on pace for 119 points, which would be a new career high and to match the 40-plus goals that he scored last year. he's the only one of the entire trade, Huberto, Weiger, Kachuk, and Johnny leaving to go to Columbus that has taken his career year last year and has now built on it. Just to circle back on Robertson.

Dallas came here in round one. You obviously are aware of that. When we are looking at a series, we're like, oh, wow, like watch out for these kids. They didn't have a great series. Like it was a lot of Ottinger. It was a lot of the veteran checking guys that made waves. I feel like that's really the only thing missing in the resume. I thought the Dallas Stars got off easy on that four-year extension with Robertson.

He's still an RFA when it expires. And I thought he had them over the barrel with the season. He had like, why not ask for 10? You know where the cap's going for four years? Come on. Yeah, we kind of wondered where were they going? They were kind of caught in the middle. You got Sagan and Ben and Pavelski.

And then you got these young guys. Well, if the young guys are going to mature like this, then you're going to be just fine. And take along Jamie Ben with you, 26 points in 23 games. talking about we're here in Alberta it's not a shot Connor McDavid is the best player in the world it's the best player in the world

but I saw a stat from your boy Jayfresh he has what a 39 points on the season he's going to cruise to probably the heart and the Art Ross and that whole thing he has 11 points five on five three points last night none of them at even strength

11 even strength numbers You, I mean, you try and position that as a shot against the player. It's not. It's just, and I've said this before, I don't know how they lose games. When you watch, they were down 3-0 in New York on Saturday, score 3 in the third, then Leon scores the winner in the final minute or whatever. Game, game over. Last night, down in the game, tie it up, off to overtime, 22 seconds in, game over.

I don't know how they lose hockey games with those guys, especially. when you get power play tries three, four a night, it's almost automatic for them. Should be. I will tell you how they lose hockey games. Check out their ice time. Connor McDavid plays 24 minutes a game or whatever the number is.

That means someone else is on the ice for the other 36. I'm not really good at math. I was an English major, but that's pretty good. That's the thing. I mean, you're in a spot where these guys can only play so much. Redd, we just talked about. sports science, I would play those two guys until the wheels fall off. It's effortless the way McDavid skates and goes. Why isn't he playing 32 minutes a night as a forward? I don't, I mean,

that just seems to me eight less minutes of Yassapoli RV or eight less minutes of Warren Fogel or whoever it is that would be in that spot that you just don't want and don't need on the ice. It's like these other guys on their team, then that's the real failure of the way the Oilers roster is built is that they have way too many one-dimensional, easy to play against players that don't help you win in their bottom six. And it's hard to change that. They're getting outscored pretty heavily at five-on-five. They're 26th in the league in terms of their five-on-five scoring. Like, they're getting outscored. That's, and I agree with you. I think the flaw of the Oilers roster is just like you've, you've been gifted two superstars. They're both locked in at relative

deals compared to what they could be if, you know, they're near the market. And what have you complimented them with? Like, bad decor, man, net minding, their bottom six forwards, you know, the drafting, they trick Broberg instead of Zegris Caulfield, Boldie. Like, they should be way better. They should be hanging banners. You're what, seven years into Connor here? You should have two of those already.

It's scary to think that you are, I don't know, what's a typical NHL career for a player of McDavid's stature and status? Is it 18 years? Like we're approaching the halfway mark of that. How is it all going to be in Edmonton? You don't know the answer to it, but you have to make headway, which is a big reason why this year,

I think for both Edmonton and Calgary, there's no option to miss the playoffs this year. You can't do it. What's going on at dailyfaceoff.com? What are you hearing before we let you go here, just stuff going on in your circle? Well, you know what? I think this is a really intriguing homestand for the Calgary Flames.

I wonder, we talked a few weeks ago about Darrell Sutter and Rhett. You were pretty animated in the discussion about some of the buttons that he's been pushing to this point. Will we see a bit more softer, Daryl Sutter? I think that's been one of the big storylines of the first quarter of the season. It feels like he's been breathing down everyone's neck. and will he let some of the air out of the balloon a little bit in terms of how this has been managed to this point? You can't go hard all the time. And I think that's really worn on this team.

And I think we've reached an interesting inflection point to take a step back and look and say, where do things stand? It's weird because I almost feel like players are smart enough now by the time you get to the end of November. You've seen the song and dance by now. if he has roasted you and rode the team hard. And then all of a sudden the flip of the couch, like, hey, guys, how are we doing today? Everything's good, you guys are good? It's like some wins that help.

I know that. I just think you reach a breaking point at a certain part of it. Yeah, I worry about a little bit. Were you surprised at all by the extension? This year was already on paper and they quietly and quickly extended them. I think, what, early in the training camp, I want to say, early season? October 8th was the extension date, October,

11th was the start of the regular season. And I was surprised because it went against the plan. It was supposed to be two and a half years of Darrell Sutter. And then I think it was, hey, we're going to move on to the next guy. And whether that was Kirk Muller or Ryan Huska or whoever that might be, I think it was two and a half years of Darrell and out. And now it seems like it's four and a half years of Darrell Sutter and out. And what does that mean? How does it change the course of this team. Yeah, well, it certainly affects young guys getting chances and what free agency looks like for potential fits. I mean, he's not for everyone, right? He made it very clear. What was it? Was it last week or a few days ago, raving about whatever team they were facing?

I forget when exactly this was. I'm trying to piece it together in my mind something about, oh yeah, no secret as to why that team's good. They're all from Western Canada. It's like, if you're sitting in the Flames locker room and you're hearing that and you're Jacob Markstrom or I don't know pick some other Elias Lindholm and you're going to am I not allowed to be good at hockey because I'm not from Western Canada like is that how this works I mean I'm sure they've heard it all and seen it all before but at some point you're just like what what what what's happening here we don't need you coming on here and stirring up shit these conspiracy theories trying to cause ruckus here all right just you know keep that for

it was it winless and 10 there and I feel and the flyers, torts in the woods. And I talk. All right, good enough. Good enough. Good to talk to you, buddy. We'll see you next week. Be good.

Thanks, guys. Have a good one. I betcha Frank Zervalley, our NHL insider. I do not telling tales out of school. It's not, I mean, we're whatever. But there is a lot of that vibe, the Sutter intensity this season vibe. That it's like, ooh, I hope.

And it feels like you've, you played for the guy. It feels like you felt it from two time zones away, retro. That's what I'm hearing here is like, it's been holding those guys, really driving them, really grinding them. And then on top of that, there's sort of this close-minded unwillingness to take a look at kids. You know, he was forced to look at the blue liners.

He talked about there wasn't enough depth, but it separated all the kids from the vets right from the first day at training camp. Why won't you take a look at a Phillips and a Peltje? Bob, but are we convinced the GM has walked down and said, hey, what about trying some of these kids? I'm not, I'm not making, I'm not making excuses for Daryl because he's probably going to say, piss off. I don't need them anyway, but is this is the cap space sufficient where you're going to, you can play with that stuff?

I don't, I'm absolutely curious if it even makes sense. And again, I said it yesterday. If you're bringing Phillips or Peltier in, are you playing them on the top line with Lindholm? or, or cadre, because there's no sense bringing them in and, and letting them muddle about in the fourth line with the muckers. Yeah, if Phillips comes up and has to play with Luchich and Lewis, it's not going to look good and it's not going to be his fault. No.

You need to put them in the top nine somewhere. So I'll ask you. And, sorry. No. We all, we think about this all the time. Are we really at a point? and we might be 20 games into a season with a team that was projected to be quite good

right like certainly not 500 good like home ice advantage in the playoffs supposed to be are we are we throwing in the towel on that and looking to a Matthew Phillips to change the course no you want to upgrade on guys that sucked like luch has not been good yeah so I don't think you're looking for a guy to play 12 minutes and change the season. You just need to get better goaltending.

You need to get better fourth line play. You need to get better offensive play. Any little edge you can find anywhere in this organization you should be taking advantage of. But again, but that's like you just said. You've got to get better fourth line play, but you're not going to get better fourth line play by inserting either of those two kids. I think if you put Phillips or Pelche in the top nine,

that puts Rizchka on the fourth line and you've got a better look, or maybe it's someone else on the fourth line. I mean, it's that whole like push everyone down. You can't be disappointed. I agree, but you can't be disappointed. disappointed with what was Ruzitschka's put up. No, he's been fine. He's been a nice story after getting scratched.

He's the, so again, that's the, that's where I go to. It's like, if you want to like, how do you manipulate that where you bring them in? How? I honestly, it is, it's kind of like you bring a whole line over and wipe out your fourth line and say, okay, we, we're not good enough. And we don't, we're throwing the, Daryl never would. But would you, would you throw the whole fourth line out, out the window and say, Come on you, kids. Let's go.

Yeah, that would be logistically difficult with cap and roster spots and stuff. What I would do is put, be it Pellier or Phillips, in a top nine spot, slide someone under the fourth line and punt a fourth line that's been no good, and that shouldn't be difficult right now. You know, it's interesting. I still say that. Still say what? Go ahead.

I still say that Backland Coleman and somebody else as a fourth line would be wonderful, but you don't have the... If Peltier is there, I think it's a great spot for me. For that to be the third line. I've been minded that line. It's your fourth line. You got a really good team. But here we are on a game day where it is Dan Vlodar starting.

And again, there's a switch of the top line. That's-go back up top. On any given year, any given week, that's a big story with a Daryl Sutter team. He's once again made changes in his top nine. He didn't change at all last year. And Markstrom isn't injured. This is just him. putting in Vladar.

As he should. I think Daryl likes, if you can ride a hot hand, but it's taken a while for Dan Vlodar to earn his trust. He went a month between starts last year. He had six starts in the NHL before last year. He had to prove himself to Daryl, and I think the road trip's done a lot in that department, I would think. Is that what this is, him riding a hot hand,

or is this trying to send a message to Mark's true? If it's both, all the better. But he's going with his better goalie right now, isn't he? I'm not talking all full season. I'm not talking about even 20 games, but over the last two weeks, who's been the best of the two? Vladar.

Thank you. And probably you should just give them credit for it. Don't ask questions. Vladar has been better, play them. Perfect. Giving Markstrom that rest that everybody talks about, blah, blah, it should all work out. That's fine. Great.

And Marksham's competitive cat. I don't know that this is the worst thing for Jacob Markstrom to get the coals under him. I'm not suggesting he's not motivated. He absolutely is. but he's a competitor. This guy intense. If he sees someone else creeping in,

what are you going to get from in his next start? You might get a better Markstrom. His best year of his career was the one he played with Demko, breathing down his neck, and he finished fourth in Vesna on an awful Vancouver team in that year that finished in the bubble. When does that become an issue where you are competitive and now you're not getting,

now we're starting to make up BS too, but my point was if Daryl's pushing your buttons and you're competitive, when did it go from I want to do good for you to put me somewhere else. I think we're a ways away from that, but it's Daryl's grinding at the time anyway, right? Yeah, you're going to want to grind on me? I'm doing my best out there, bud. I can take my game and go play for another squad if need be. If you don't like what you see, feel free to.

Yeah, I don't think Jacob's been super proud of it. He mentioned after Pittsburgh. He said, I need to be better after Tampa, beginning of the road trip. I'm not saying it that's got to that point, but it could. Did you know that Adam Rozegke is one point shy of becoming the Flames' all-time points leader by Slovakian-born players? One point away. Do you know who is the leading all-time points getter for Calgary Flames among Slovakian-Born players? I can't think of Slovaks.

Like, are we talking like a Daniel Pribble? What the hell is happening? No, no, this is, uh, it would have been 21 points. Defenseman? 21 points in 107 games pre-Ret Warner, I believe. Give us the stats again? 21 points in 107 games. It's got to be D man, because you're referencing red.

No. No, just, I mean, that puts you in a time frame. I'll check it. Because, uh... So there's lots of Czechoslovakia. Lots of checks, but I can't think I'm any Slovak. Do we use the CK as a, like, if it's, is that a, like, uh, Merk Sidlicki? Petrovitsky? Ronald Petrovicki. Petrovitsky. How do we, do we now go with a Petrovitsky? Is that how that goes?

I don't know. Remember when we tried to tell everyone it was Dan Vladich, not Vladar, and then the flames say, Dan Bladar. Oh, you're just going to throw out the, okay. And it was Ronald, because there was a Robert. Yep. There he is. In 2000. the 2000-2001 season and then the 0-1-02 season. You played junior over here or no? Prince George Cougars, my friend. It felt like a Western League guy. That was kind of your day, Warren.

It wasn't it? You play in the Western League against him. 2000? No, no. He was Tri-City and then Prince George 94-95 through 98. Yeah. PG, Tri-City, and then Regina had 64 goals. That's a few.

Overager and Regina Pat's. And by all means, if Roach wants to blow the doors off that Slovakian record, go ahead. Because once, you know, Looch goes to the rafters, we need Roos. Oh, is that what it is? I got you. I got to, you know, Peltier will be up and all that stuff. And you know, while I was here, I was on the old webs during the,

because we got to talk about Jason Robertson. Yeah. Did you realize where he was selected? Second round. Because, you know, I hate to do it. It's right after the flames picked. Go looking at draft. and stuff like that going back in history.

Yeah, one of your favorites. What year was it? It was the 2017 draft, fellas. I hope that's not a goal either. 16 overall, Yuso Valamaki to the Calgary Flames. Yeah, and Yuso was on a nice timeline until he blew out his knee. Yeah.

Then some Yamamoto's and a Josh Norris, Rob Thomas, Henry Yoki Harju, Jason Robertson, 39th overall, round number two. His brother has got a lot of hype, but he plays in Toronto. His brother ever got a lot of hype. Get out of here.

This guy's a superstar. He really is. No, he took way too little money in Dallas. That's crazy. Absolutely nuts. Four years and not huge, though. Like, less than eight, that's ridiculous for a guy that scored 40. It's not enough.

Eight. How are going to live on eight? It's not about living. It's about like, should the billionaire owner get that huge piece of pie that you just earned him or should you get more? You're a player. I shouldn't have to convince you. I mean, he's a mega stud and the cap is doing this.

Why don't you give him credit for being a great team guy and taking a reasonable contract so that they could sign other guys. Like rupe today. Oh, he and rupe are a big part of it. I mean, I guess that's what we'll say about Connor for taking eight years times 12 and a half, not 15 times five so that Peter Shirelli could go blow his brains out, right? Hey, Koskenin and you've been here eight minutes. Take a four-year deal.

careful. His GM's a little better, his GM's a little better than... It always ends up into the backpack. Somewhere or some... So it was Peter Shirelli. That's team friendly. Connor at eight times 12 and a half.

That damn Roberts, you're an idiot. Yeah. Because of Koskid. No, and you know... That's right. Agent's job is one thing, not to be friends with the GM,

but to maximize player earnings. Yeah, the shortest distance from point A to B or Jason Roberts and Tico Koscanor. is Ryan Pender. That's the straight line. You got there. That didn't take long. Nearly direct.

I can give you more. Nearly a direct flight. It wasn't just Koskinan. We want to do the Pinder report. Let's do it. You got a busy one today, I hear. It's not super busy. You went out for coffee and the guys were saying,

holy Christ, look at all this stuff. There's lots in there, but it's not going to take too long. Got it in like two minutes before showtime. Quickly you whirl around. There we go. God almighty. The Pinder report brought to you by Village Honda. proudly serving Calgary in area for over 30 years,

your one-stop automotive destination in Calgary. Visit them today in the Northwest Automall or online village honda.com. It's the Pinder Report. Start with the Calgary Flames. Fellows. It is Blasty Night as Matthew, dirtball, jerkbag, Kachuk is back in town.

It's going to be a big one at the dome. I think if there was a five top five home games of the years, got to be in there. You got your Ebbinton games, your Montreal, your Toronto. and Cachuk coming back. Goodrow coming. That's your list.

Montage? Hell of a montage. Got to be. Right? And I think we'll get a very nice smattering of applause and booze. It's going to be a conflicted crowd here. It is. There's your blasties.

Have a good look here. Those are your lines. We talked about the changes. Uberto back up top. Fla Dar starting in net. And yes, now that they've got Michael Stone back. They've put Uyghur and Tannav back together on the second pair. It's been a few games of that.

Chuckie and his new digs. It's gone well for him in Florida on the individual statistics side for the team. One win in the last six. Now, a lot of OTLs in there, I think what, one, two and three? One two and three. But this is a group that, you know, when you look at the struggles of Uighur and Uberto and you say, oh, the flames, boy, they're not supposed to be this point in the standings, and they'll look at Chuck. He's having to watch it. Well, they're not where they're supposed to be in the standings. They were running away with the president's trophy last year. And they're on the outside looking in, in the east. I don't think we saw that coming,

albeit, you know, they had to thin out some other parts of the roster over the summer as well. You know, it's just you go through the draft and even when you pick,

remember, the flames have never picked first overall. Four is the highest ever. That's been it. But then you actually, you do hit on one. You hit on a guy that turns into a hundred point player

and gone. Right? Like not, not captain. franchise player number in the rafters that whole thing what a success story it's been no florida are they going to get in good taxes are they going to get in red are you worried about florida are they what they are in the standings at this point i'm they are but i think they'll be okay he's coming at you rat just so you're aware what he's doing here there's a lot of good teams on the

outside looking in right now and i think a lot of them are going to be fine i like emminton's the same They're not all going to be fine. Here's the problem. Here was Chucky from last night. The side of the net. Don't make the... Watch that he gives it the old. Hey, how should go?

What's that? Hey? I said, ah, pop, pop, pa. Can you have a tap? Remember me? What a skill. As for Florida, another note, no Sasha Barkov with them. They started their road trip without him in Edmonton last night.

Blew that lead in the third last night. And that leaves, of course, what somebody always wanted here in Calgary. Aside from Greg at Bonn, on. It was Top Line Sam Bennett, who we now have is the center of the top line in Florida tonight. It was only matter, Greg. Oh, Greg will be happy. Greg, just for you, just in time. Do you think Greg's going to the game? I think he's going to have a big, I know the weather's not great, but I think he's tailgating for this thing. It's Sam Bennett return night. It's set right. Yes. It's chilly for, it could be hard to keep those,

keep those ribs warm when it's not cold on. He'll have the smoker and then he's got that RV that he's talked about. I think he's ready to rock. He's probably in the lot right now, yelling with some parking attendant. Anthony Duclair has not played all season. He's missed 22. You mentioned Barkoff. I don't know what's going on in net because it's been Spencer Knight. Bobrovsky has played in just three of the last 10.

His last two outings, he led in 5 on 23 against Columbus loss, and led in 4 on 11 in the first period against Dallas and got yanked. So it has been old Spencer, who took the extra time lost of the flames going back to last week and what have you. They've been leaky defensively. Their last six games, 29 goals against. One of those is a shootout winner, so we can call it 28. But point being, it's almost five against per game.

And it was like last night you had Edmonton stuck at what, one goal, two goals. And then it's bunk, bunk. Four with the extra time, but they've allowed four or more in regulation and five of their last eight. So you're right. They're hemorrhage and goals. So we'll see whether it's night again or over to Bobber, the $10 million, what, highest paid healthy goal in the NHL with Kerry Price on the show? He didn't take less.

He did not take less. And Dale Tallon, what was it? Within a week of drafting Spencer, he signed that. Another backpack item. Like, how did you want this to go? A $10 million goalie and another goal? Like, hmm.

Best player available. BPA. Goalie that early? Doubted. That's another backpack item. I know. We're just hitting them hard. I mean, Dustin Wolf had the same stats.

Round seven. Come on. Dale figured it out. Peter Shirelli, Miko Koskenet. Dale Allen special. Drafting goalies in the first round. and Florida taking Spencer Knight and signing Bobrovsky in the same off-season.

It's a blackout bingo for the backpack. Holy God. Everyone gets a free punch. See you at the bar. It is a blackout. It's a blackout bingo. Let's go to other NHL news. We quickly touched on it with Frank Serra Valley.

Rupa hints with an extension. Rupa. We don't need to show you any of the images from that. That's fine. It's big money. He's a really good young player. And as you said so eloquently, Dean, as you do,

they've transitioned nicely. from what we thought might have been an older core to like, oh, are the kids ready yet? Like, no, they're just good the whole way through. And Ottingers looked phenomenal this year. Dare I say, a Vesna caliber season. You've won't you? I remember when Rupert was a kid and you're...

Rupa! And another guy we could... Yanni Hock and Pa! Yanni Hock and Pa! We love the Dallas stars for their names. Totes. Totally do. Yeah.

Jack Hughes is fully hitting ridiculous here. Are you familiar with bro, Jack Hughes, man? Tots. Like one of the bros from the Hughes family. Check out the Alley Uplast night against the Rangers that he and the devil's work. They're having fun. And yeah, when you talk about some of the issues that you're going to be facing in the east, Devils are really good.

Carolina's really good. Rangers, Frank talked about, they got to get ahead of some of these teams in the Metro. Watch this. Whoop. Over the top. Oh, nice. And the first kid ever to go, U.S. National Development Program right to the NHL, five-hole Shasturkin cursing himself post-game.

Devils win. It's their 10th road win in 11 road games. And I think they actually lost one of their first, those three losses at the start of the season. With two wins, I think. Two or three losses, yeah. I think that they've won 10 straight. This is now 10 on the road. And that ties Buffalo and Boston historically for the shortest amount of time.

To get to 10. Speaking of Buffalo, speaking of sexy goals, we go to our Tage Thompson insider, Rhett Warner, to break down the 6'7 behemoths, latest beauty that came in last night's blown lead and lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Yeah, up 5'3 and the boys can't come through. Come on.

Look at the beach on this cat. Look at the silk. That's it. T&T blows it up, retro. Watch the hands and just him, like, how are you supposed to defend this guy? It's like a point guard covering a center. Like, you just, his reach.

Just swinging it around. He can rip shots, too. They got to respect the shot, too. I don't know how you stop this guy. Who's got longer arms? Retsch over this guy. Are you kidding me? The Retzel arms are massive.

This guy's arms are even longer. Jungle arms. Too long for my shirt. Too long for my jacket. Jacket. Except his arms work. Steve Miller band, covered by Dean Mulberg with Jungle Arms.

Is it not jungle arms? Yeah, they'd blow that lead. Tampa put on a bit of a show late with Kutcher off in Stampcoast. Apparently of the power play got them going. Apparently. Pretty good. Apparently. So speaking of all this offense, high-flying young players, highlight real goals.

If it feels like there's more goals in the NHL for star players, well, let's take a look at the top five scores in the league and what are projected to hit for point totals today this season, because I think we're right. McDavid on pace for 149. Robertson 128. Kutra of 132. Drysidal 123. Pasta. 125. Oh,

and Eric Carlson on pace for 109. You know, when we say it's not early anymore? These numbers still feel kind of early. Is there any flames in that group? There's no flames. There's also no Panthers, but Kichuk's not far off.

We'll move along. Guys, something I've loved and held close to my heart for a long time is the inverse standings. Right. We've found Baddard watch courtesy our stats

palette the athletic Dom here's your probabilities per his model of where teams are going to finish and thus their odds of having the lottery balls shine as brightly on them

as they once did for the Edmonton Oilers four times in seven years. How would you like a superstar in Chicago, Rhett? Why do you keep coming back to Chicago?

They're the top of the list. I want them to go to how would you like a superstar and Ann? Oh, go to Philly. Welcome to the league, son. You're an offensive wizard that doesn't like D. Meet your coach, Torts.

I don't know that I... I don't know how I feel about any of those teams. Arizona, it'd be embarrassing. Oddly, I feel like Arizona. I think it's Chicago, boys. Go to Arizona. Big star, big city, just with Cain's leaving. Get a friggin' rink built there already,

and let's move on from all this nonsense and have a team and one of the biggest markets in the U.S. And just be good. Move it to Houston. the inner belt a rink. Get shit or get off the pot. Let's go. Anyone in there you don't want?

Buffalo. St. Louis. Lowe's, yeah, Ottawa. Stinking Ottawa is going to get a new ring. I'm not a big San Jose guy. Yeah. It's that dumb.

Chicago's just had, I love Chicago, but they've been good. They don't deserve it again. They've been shitty for like six years, though. It's been a while. Yeah, six, six years. Well, poor babies. Well, it's going to take a few.

It'll be 10 years. Christ. They haven't, Patrick Key, still hasn't sobered up from the parade yet. I would explain the production falling off. Was he tank on that bus that year? Whoa. That wasn't the other time.

It was when tanks for rumor mill suggests. Let's go to Major League Baseball, major cash being had a Red judge. You got long arms. You should have thrown a baseball, Red, or at least swung a bat at one. Too long for my shirt. Shoulders.

Jose Abraeu getting paid. Three years, just, yeah, while let's make it 60-ish million, hey? 58.5. He's a guy that's, Pretty good. Why do you got your kids playing hockey? Tie one of those kids arm behind his back.

Teach him to be a lefty. Yes, pitch left-handed, hit dingers or throw footballs. Let's go. Big dumb, long limbs already at 14 or whatever he is. Teach him to throw a curveball. Touch home plate from the mound. Let's go. We can do it all.

We're athletic in this house. And finally, we have five teams. Frisbee out the other day. Frisbee, yeah, there you go. I thought that'd be too hipster-free. Ultimate. Frisbee golf? 12. That's a beer in hand support, B IH.

Is it? Mm-hmm. World Cup. We have five teams through to round two, or elimination round. Knockout round. France, Brazil, Portugal already were through. And after results in Group A this morning, the Netherlands and Senegal are dancing on. So one group, seven groups to wrap up in the next couple days. Canada will play a meeting of Scots against Morocco to figure out whether they'll go home with a win or no wins, but they're still going home.

on Thursday morning. You're going to go watch? It's 8 a.m. I will go from kid drop off right to the pub. Or I'll come here and prep for the show. Damn it. Have nachos while you're at the pub. You're rude not to.

That's your Pinda Report for Village Honda and our boy Anthony at Village Honda. Okay with the Dutch getting through another win. They haven't lost in two years, but they're playing the wrong left back. This coach is an idiot. Oh, is that right? I haven't lost in two years.

Well, yeah, keep your distance. If you head up the village today. No, it'll be in good spirits, but like, you know, come on. Play a bunch of idiots. Play your stars. Let's go. Village Honda drive away today in a pre-owned vehicle. It's only about 60.

60 on site access to over 400 more they are going to have what you're looking for. Visit them today in the Northwest Auto Mall or at village honda.com. 76, 63, 110th Ave, Northwest, VillageHonda.com. That's that's the great. pay they're playing the wrong. The left back's too slow. I can give you more details. Got it.

But he's hardcore. He might not be wrong. I mean, this guy's coached and asks him three times for like a couple decades in total, but maybe Anthony knows more. Maybe. This is a bit of a curveball for both Alex and Tan man, the Tandyman.

Danny Tanner. I found a fishing video this morning on the YouTube. When's the last time you've gone fishing out there, wretch. Did you do any New York fishing? What do you get some bass? What do you fishing for out there? No, they got it all. They got the bass. They got salmon and the trout and the

Greeks. So that you could see there. This is the video and we'll definitely need the audio on this. That's not Buffalo. That is it looks. Doesn't look like it looks like sort of pier. Yeah, it looks California-ish, maybe some I'm not sure, but this is definitely in a warmer climate. Dude with a a big gets a big one on the hook here so we take a listen.

Let's get a tree out. Fucking moron. Oopsies. Dude's fishing from the pier and somehow hooks on to a surf. Hey man. Come on, man. I'm surfing here. Bro.

Let's hear it again. Sorry, Alex. I started to take it from the top because I do, if you, if you listen for the bro, it's in there, man. Let me like the fucking three out. Life is three out. Fucking moron. Out of all of those, I think I did.

Where did it get them? It looked like it got a palm, maybe. Yeah, got him somewhere. Let the string out. Let the string out. God damn. God damn. You didn't have a big one in the line, but yeah.

Everyone disappointed. Come on, man. Come on, man. Let's do our, from there. There's just, I just wanted to get that in. I want to make sure, because we can play swears now. It's awesome. Love it.

It makes me happy because I think, it reminds me. John Candy when he starts shooting up the sharks or the first. Yeah. Which one was that? Police Academy. No, it's not. He wasn't in police academy. John Candy, Police Academy. Yeah.

Beverly Hills Cop. Not days to, shit. Anyway, Betway bets. There's no way to transition from that. From that, I just, I like we can play swears now. I bet you'll be able to figure out that movie he's talking about by the time you've driven home. I should know.

Let's see. It's the thing with these, the, armed and dangerous. Thank you. I was dazed and confused. I knew it wasn't dazed and confused. Well, boom. There you go.

Fucking rights, Rhett. I would have bugged me all day. And then I'd have been pissed off later and be like, dazed and confused, you idiot! Dangerous. Go ahead with your bets of the day.

Betway bets of the day. Oh, you start with mine. All right, let's start with mine then. Look at Alex. He's like, oh, he's going to, he's on some sort of a rant. We can't put it up. Uh,

I love where your head's at. Hey, did you know. The Florida Panthers are in town. They've lost five of six. They're giving up a lot of goals. So, of course, I'm going the other way. Matthew Kachuk is back. If you think there's any way he's not scoring tonight,

it's the guy back in town first game. We've missed on a few. Stupid. We're stupid about it. Jankowski, a late ad too. But if that Duster's going to come into this house and score, Matthew's getting a hat-trick. Let's go.

Not this time. Matthew Kach, any time goal pays 155, plus 155. plus 155. Kachuk, one or more points on the power play plus 120. We're on the plus side on both of those. Come on now. Take your money. Come on.

It's crazy. Come on. Sam Bennett did it. Jukes. What's that boom? What's that boom? What's that boom? Easy money, Matthew.

Easy money. Easy money, Chucky. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. There you go. Those are my bets of the day. All right. We'll take a big of mine.

I've got one of the same ones in there. Cuchney Anytime goal. And Eubertoe back on the top line. Flames. get a team that hasn't defended or stopped pucks from going on their net very well. Why not take a little shot at a Uberto 2.9? If he's going to do it, seem fired up against his old crew when they're in FLA.

So we'll see if you can do it in CgyY with the Blastion tonight. That way, bet's the day. Bet responsibly. Please. Now, is Vlodar the one thing that could really screw this all up? If he's going to go all, I'm a number one goalie, Daryl, I'm your knight in shining armor. Ride me into the postseason.

Let's just caucus sidebar. You and me. Yeah. If Vlodar plays well tonight, like gets a win. Yeah. Be ready for the told you to trade Markstrom. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Coming out of the Buffalo Studios tomorrow.

There's no told you. I mean, everyone will be jumping to get it. Jacob Markstrom, who's lost his job to Vlodar. It'll be start the trade calls tomorrow on the show. If only somebody'd mentioned it, if only somebody brought it up, trade Jordano. Trade control. That's not liking the tone of this. So when Frank Serr Valley comes on and talks like he's God and almighty and says,

pay two average goaltenders, average money and split their time, I'm an idiot for saying play Vladar. I just think, why would you go pay a $6 million goalie at this position when you could find one for three? That's kind of the argument, right? There you go. Get them out of here.

Go get a $3 million. Goaltender and get the first line forward. I like where your heads are for the Calgary side. I'm just figuring out which team wants to buy the last three years of a six-year pact with Markstrom. When he's not playing. This guy's the best goal yet. Well, here we go. Now your opinion on signing Markstrom to the long-term deal with those.

I like to. And you can't even dump them. I mean, the guys is a shit season. Best of nothing. Get out of here. Ooh, I'm good one day, the other I'm not. Vesnavodes, Siv, figure me out. Ha, ha, ha, I'm a goalie.

I love this guy. I mean, you can play both sides of it. Like, they gave Bob 10 a year for seven years. Markstrom's a steel compared to that. But they're still fucking goalies. Who the hell knows how they work? Alex bleep him out with his F word. He can't slot.

How are you going to bleep them? There's Sell Street Burger. We got a one o'clock phone call with the boys. They're going to contribute more to the swear. Hey, guys, do you have time for a call tomorrow afternoon? Can you town in that down? Cell Street Burger. No, I want to throw this back out there because today's, what, 20, 29, and then it's 30th.

And then before you know what, she's December. 26 days till Christmas. 26 days. still Chris. Kids at our house have been telling me that if your behavior is sterling, sometimes the elf even comes a day early. My kid brought that up. So, hey. I've checked my sources. I can't get a clear answer on this.

So which night does the elf show up? B.S. Right. So is it the night of the first, or is it the night of the 30th going into the first? When does that? Son of a... So long as it's not 31 days. That would be more confusing. I know. Yeah. So anyway,

I guess he's coming. Two things. I've been told, We talked about this last week. I'm told apparently that this is the time of year. If you are, you know, you're in love and can't control yourself and just go out to spend the rest of your life with this other person that's in your life. Yeah, but what's your wife going to think about it, right? I mean, it's a huge quandary. You get engaged.

The family's all around. You do something fancy. Oh, it's so romantic. So lovely. So happy for you. So if that's, yeah, exactly. If that's you and you're getting engaged, you need some jewelry.

There you go. Look at this. On screen. Vena Nova. Calgary's lab grown diamond specialists. Went there last week with the Wolverine. Met Justin, met the staff they got there,

took a look around. There's the engagement range. It's more than just engagement rings, but I just know that there'll be some dummy out there who's like, yeah, maybe I guess I don't know what else to get her. Maybe this is the year I just go through and just,

if that's you or if you maybe do have an actual plan and you're looking for a great product at up to 80% less for a for a diamond for this thing that is as good in some cases better than the real thing. Vena Nova.com say they got the sale there go check the website but more importantly go and second floor over at the old Stephen Avenue thing there and and take a loop through. I'm not a big, I'm not a big jewelry guy, but it's impressive stuff. I don't see you wearing lots of jewelry. I think your wife's a jewelry gal, though. Yeah, she's a jewelry gal. And then you see it, whether it's earrings or necklaces or bracelets or whatever the case may be. The thing about it is, he's a gemologist.

This is what they do. This is, oh, by the way, and over in this corner, we've got these lab grown things. I don't know. This is their specialty. And you're going to absolutely, wow. that other person in your life with this Christmas gift. Valentine's coming up, Christmas. We got

proposals. Maybe you dump some spinach dip in a teammate's wife's hair and you're a millionaire. Just diamonds. Go. They're a best friend to somebody. Can really smooth some things over. That's right. So Vina Nova. I sent Justin an email. I know you did.

I know you did. Looking forward to talk. Wow. Why, what are you doing? Old Rastter, what are you cooking? Because I am a, I am a romanticist. So I do put a lot of time and effort into my gift given. He's a romantic romantic romanticist. Romanticist.

Tomorrow on the program. I got the email here mid-show. Pinder will be hungover. He's got a big thing. What are you talking about? You're not going to get it all right out of there? Of course, yeah. No, you know what?

We've got some plans coming together. He's already made the plans like, you know what? buying and cover. We should probably slide. Hey, Wolfie, have you been? Oh, yeah. You know what? We should probably slide.

Have you ever been to Greta? We should probably slide by. My couple buddies of mine are going to Greta tonight. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got an idea too for them. I want to bring in my Sega Genesis and challenge people to NHL 94 games and just be a complete lugan.

This guy right now is all about ping pong. No matter who it is. It's, hey, you know what you should do? Come on over. We'll play some ping pong. Got some ping pong. We got the ping pong. We got the ping pong.

Let's go. I'll play left-handed. Let's play left-handed. I'll play some ping pong. Ping-pong. It's this whole thing. Gnip-Kinaap. Deal with it.

He's very confident in his ping-pong abilities. Now, I, Dean was afraid. Being an only child, I didn't have a lot of people to play ping pong with. You can tilt one of the ends up so that it's like. Self-taught. It'll be fine. So anyway, it's now going beyond the pink, the, The ping pong table is like, yeah, we'll go to Greta.

They got the games there. I'll pick when I'll kick your ass. Let's go. Play some Mario Kart. We'll tune you up. There it is. Yeah. Yeah.

So. Mario Kart is New World. You got to go something little older. 94. Second, this NBA Jamm tournament edition. Let's go. What is that thing?

They're doing at Greta. Golden Axe. What was that yours? That's the one you love, golden axe? Because they've got the little street art going on in the alley there. That's part of the club. They brought in a bunch of art. artists from around town.

Got some cool work being done in there. Good vibes. Why doesn't the idiots at city council ever figure that out? Why don't we play the local artists to do something nice instead of some schmuck from? This is all your fault. Remember when you were going to be mayor, but then you forgot to submit your thing to be mayor. You would have won in a landslide. All these problems have begun, right?

So if you were going to take on, if you were going to go and take on donkey here at Greta, because I've got a list of the games here. Wolverine or Donkey? I don't know donkey. There's a big buck hunter. Yeah. They got some pit. Do you like the pinball?

Are you into the pinball? Can you pinball? Are you pinball wizard? I can play the pinball. Absolutely. Street fighter. Ding ding ding ding ding. Plays the main pinball.

Golden tea. I don't like the street fighter. I'm no good at it. Yeah, that's one where you got to go all the combos down with the buttons. You like golden tea? Is that golden tea the new one? Because I had the old one in my house and I kept breaking my finger. 2019 golden tea.

it's the new one. Yeah, that was in the basement a few years ago. I like that one. You want a good story? I will not name names. Because there's some stuff I got to get to here, but I somehow got talking about credit. And now we're here.

Dude goes to Vegas with buddies. And you know what buddies do when they go to Vegas? You end up at the club. And then it's like, hey, if you put down your credit card, it'll go up as a charge for hoop-de-do enterprises. They'll never know. They'll never see. And then all of a sudden you get it, it's like,

Safar's restaurant. Holy $700. Jesus. I'm gonna let me get out of the bag, bud. So dude gets the, he's back, he's back home. And the lady says, what is this charge on your credit card from Hoop-Di-Doo Enterprises? What is this? What's so much money?

To his credit, dude. Quick. Oh, I've always wanted golden tea. I bought one of those golden tea video games. a what golden tea you know the golf with the thing you know i love that game i bought you bought one of those dumb things yeah yeah i did so stupid if you want i'll take it back and then it's like fuck now i got to get a golden tea machine and hide the and somehow mask the money from her god damn so some dude out there has paid for two some two golden tea machines has one of them

It's weird. Some company called Bikini Enterprises and sell golden teas. So anyway, yeah, Greta, golden tea. The two are not linked, by the way. It's a good story. It's completely different, completely different. See if the Wolverine buys one tonight.

Okay, now listen. You know what? We're being delinquents here. Idiots, yeah. I said today we're going to have some news about, because we are in the Christmas spirit. Hey, retro, we want to do good. we're good people.

For the most part, we're good people. And one of the things... Shit yesterday. Be better people. Yeah, I know. I don't know. I talked to. One of the things, it was kind of a...

I don't know if it was a mandate, but we wanted to, if at all possible, with Barnberger, come Christmas time, and just moving on. We're going to be... Want to give back, do some stuff with charity, and it starts for us. We got on the air a month and a half ago.

Let's make sure that we do something for Christmas. Don't... Everyone's busy. Time flies. Let's make sure it. doesn't pass. We got the heads up from our friends at Tower Chrysler, Nikki specifically. She was like, hey, last year we did a 50-50 draw inside our dealership. And over the course of the year, we raised money. And then at the end of the year, we donated that to Closer to Home. And through Closer to Home,

which is a local charity, they have the adopt a family campaign. They adopted, it was 12, 14 families of four last year for Christmas. Families that otherwise would not have had anything for Christmas. gift cards, food gifts, the whole thing. Well ahead of Christmas. Well, ahead of Christmas. And it's, they drop off the gift cards. So then the parents or the family can go out and do it themselves, which is part of, you want to, it's part of giving. It's part of receiving.

It's that whole thing. So we, we kind of looked into us. Let's, let's do that. That sounds good. And we've, we've done our kind of homework on this. And tomorrow on the show, Jillian, with, with closer to home is going to, join us. And I got the email during the course of the show. So she's coming on tomorrow. We're going to talk about what we're doing here. And I'll give you the details in a moment.

They put a press release out literally this morning. The urgent call for donations to closer to homes adopt a family initiative as the need in the community soars. The need has increased. It was already great by 40% this year. Jeez. Without financial help from Calgarians right now, closer to home will have to turn families away without providing support during the holidays. There are 640 families registered for this initiative, another 150 on the waiting list. And as of today, only 230 families have been adopted. So it feels with all that, this feels like the right place at the right time. We are going to have the details tomorrow. It's going to be on our website. It's going to be on all of our social media.

We've got, we're going to invite people to get on board with donations. We've put some prizing together that's going to be, going to be up for grabs. That's cool stuff. And this might be, maybe this is the charity we do every year, but maybe we rotate. It'll be something different next year. But our Christmas campaign kicks off tomorrow. And, Rhett, you'll, you'll enjoy this. It's, we thought, well, what can we do?

You know, something kind of Christy, something kind of light. Well, what's, Rhett, you know, the legendary story? Top shelf, top shelf. Yeah. we will kick off our barn burner, Top-shelf elf, Christmas campaign tomorrow. The top-shelf elf, he's going to do good.

You're going to do good. We're going to come together and do some good things for the people. And this year, we are going to go through Closer to Home and the Adopt of Family. And the website, if you want to check this out and you want to go and don't wait for us, is CloserTo Home.com. And also in that vein,

we will be, as you alluded to, dangling all kinds of cool items that you'd love to get your paws on. One-off's unique experiences that, you know, pay attention with the show. There'll be some chances to get some cool stuff and help out of this amazing charity. Have we got the... Do we have the Elf on the Show? Do we have the Elfah? I'd love to see it.

Could you see it? I'd love to see it. Top Chauvel. Because we went to great efforts. We got Kennedy and the people with the Nation Network. Look at there, sorry. Look at our boy. Look at it.

Elfie. Our top shelf elf Christmas. Buddy Elfin. The first, the inaugural. Because it can't be the first annual. There's inaugural. And then you've got to do it at least twice for it to be an annual. That's how that goes.

So it's the inaugural top shelf elf. Starting tomorrow, full details on giveaways, auction items, and all. Look at our cute Barn burner logo too. And that nice snow on the roof? Christmas lights. Yeah, who put up those lights? Are you hammered red?

Jeez. Who put up your Christmas lights? Don't go on the roof when you've been drinking. Those ladders are dangerous. That's the show for today. So yeah, we're going to have, we're going to roll that out tomorrow. Roll it out tomorrow. We'll have Gillian on with us as well from the offices closer to home,

roll out the details, and look back on tonight's hockey game. Between the Florida Panthers and the Gallagher players. Get your helmet on. How are you feeling about this game? Give me a prediction. Oh, hey, nothing flames Vladar shutout and Ewer to Hattrick, Uyghur with two. First game back. First game back, Pinders.

I know. Yeah, there you go. Dial it back. The Panthers played a lot of overtime. It will not surprise me if there's free hockey available to everyone beyond 60 minutes tonight. If the flames want to use tonight to get some things right. That'd be nice. Like line combos, defensive play, special teams.

Florida, as we said, they give up three, four a night. Go ahead. And it looked like Florida was on their way to a nice road victory yesterday. So they'll be a little bit p-oed. They were up four-one on St. Louis on the way. weekend and watch that one snap that seven game winning streak for the burns. This is a dangerous animal. This is a wounded cat, Rhett. The Pantera

a wounded cat. Yeah, you've got to be careful with those wild cats. That's right. That's right. What's up for us? Chicks dig the Panteros when they went on the road. Careful. That's what they say. All right, buddies. That'll do it for today. It's probably enough. It's more than enough. It's probably enough. Horses. Scambling. See you to Morrow's Nation every day coming up next on YouTube, Red. Hoyler suck. See you, buddies.
