Folks, this is going to be a hell of a program.
Buckle up.
I just have, I have a feeling today is going to be one of those ones.
It'll be like, did you see, did you hear Barnburner on Thursday?
Guys were in it.
Are you all rested?
Is that why?
No, I just, I've been here, I've been, you know what I've been doing?
I've been cobbling together some notes.
I've been just kind of getting my, my things in order, my house in order.
That hell does cobbling me anyway.
It's kind of cobbling my gathering.
putting things in it.
Why is it called cobble?
It's not cobbling.
You're not fixing fucking shoes, are you?
Like, what do we do?
I think we can see why it's going to be good today.
Right there.
We're starting to get an appreciation for just why it might be on.
There's the Rattster at his kitchen table.
There's Pender to my immediate right.
We're in the same room.
While people don't know that for some reason,
even though we have very similar backdrops.
Some people are, oh, I thought you were in one place and boom was somewhere else.
We could do just a two shot, I guess, but, you know, come on.
People got to zoom in on these lovely jibs of ours.
Retro, how are we doing today?
Fine.
And you?
Okay.
A little drag ass, okay?
I'm a little bit, I'm a quart low.
I want to talk this out.
I want to get through this.
We're going to have some giggles, some yucks, and you're going to leave this.
You know, it'd be like a workout.
We're going to get your serotonin levels up.
get you feeling good about yourself
and they'll go on with your day.
Some of us already went and worked out, big boy.
Some of us were at the gym
and that didn't help at all.
Oh, dear.
I even committed to it.
I went there, not feeling right.
It's a little slow.
I toughed it out.
I convinced myself to show a little bit of discipline.
Hasn't improved my mood at all.
There wasn't any.
No stairmaster inspiration out there
to lift up the redster today?
There's no upside.
I've felt better.
if I had just procrastinate and pissed away the morning.
It's just one loss, Red.
I know that it's Colorado.
It's 82 games, right?
You can't win them all.
They've split the season series thus far.
They're one and one.
Grupe, Uve Krupp.
Those nightmares just continue to haunt you.
Is it Uve or Uwe?
I could never figure out.
It's spelled Uwey.
But they go with Uve.
Uve Krupp.
Yeah.
He was a big bastard.
He was a big bastard.
Yeah.
And could he,
play today? Probably not a chance.
Not a chance.
The hatches couldn't play. He couldn't play.
From Philly.
Jell.
Shell Samuelson.
Oh, Shell Samuelson.
He was just a big.
A galute.
He was an absolute
galute. He was on those
Flyers teams that lost to the Oilers
in the finals there on those runs.
Yeah, he was a big dumb donkey
for sure. There'd have been a few, you know,
where would Chris Tarian fall in?
Yeah.
He skated.
than those guys we just mentioned.
I don't want to disrespect them.
The same.
No.
The hatchers.
There's a bunch of pusses in town, actually, in Buffalo,
because it's Ryan Miller retirement party tonight,
or Jersey retirement tonight.
So there's a bunch of losers here.
Are you going?
No.
Were you invited?
No.
I just got him to town, and I was going to say.
Miller up.
Maybe this is why he's sour.
Shouldn't you be part of the festivities that
this guy left down and you know
one thing leads to another draft
Ryan Miller and look who's numbers in the
rafters. They got the wrong guy. I'll say this. The Sabres are
screwing it up too. It should be Rob Ray tonight but
yeah. Oh, that hasn't been done.
I guess I'll go with Miller. No. That's shocking.
Isn't that? I am actually, I
I'm actually, I almost felt like you're playing a trick on me.
They have not done anything with Razors number
or anything? Nope.
Holy shit.
No forever a save.
Not a slight against, not a slight against Miller,
but does it sound odd that he's getting his jersey retired to you too?
A little bit.
I mean, every franchise has a different standard, right?
But there's three in Calgary, four now with Jerome?
That's, uh, and they did the pseudo ones with McKinness and Newndy.
There's one goalie up in Calgary.
I don't know that if I had picked one goalie in Buffalo's history, certainly not Miller.
It's a cup for the, he went on a cup.
Exactly. Exactly. There's one.
Right. Like, I'm shocked that I'm not shocked.
I just, I haven't even looked it up because I don't care.
But his stats must be good.
He had some good years there, but they weren't Dom good, right?
No.
Oh, I didn't think.
No, Dom won Vesna after Vesda.
If you say, American, American, America.
Mark. America.
See, again, it's not, it's like our, the pre-show.
It's not who you, what you do.
Who you know, right?
Clearly, Miller is sucked up to the right people.
Yeah, he's at the right teat sucking away.
Was it Mark Twain, who had the, quote,
rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated?
Could that apply to the Colorado Avalanche?
Because it feels like about a week ago we sat here.
I remember, oh, these guys are banged up.
I don't know.
You get Stanley Cup hang over that whole thing.
Okay, well, Natchewskih can comes back.
And then even last night, no kale, McCar.
That's a big, that's a big loss.
What a, what a break for the flames.
It was.
Unfortunate for K.L.
We hope he's fine.
Get, get well soon, but maybe a bit of a break for the flames.
And didn't matter.
No.
A lick.
No.
As they lose 4.1.
McKinnon take, McKinnon can take three strides and you can realize that this team is not out of it.
Yeah, I don't.
We wondered about, geez, like, what's going on there, but I don't think anyone was concerned
with them missing.
The thought was, oh, they might have to start on the road, maybe, but, but
they're missing really good players.
Like Josh Manson was a big part of that top four last year.
They've missed McKinnon for time this year at points.
Bowen Byron's still out.
He's a big part of that decor.
You know, they haven't had their captain,
Gabe Landisgog for a single minute this year.
I just think if you took a Flames,
top four defensemen,
top line winger,
you know,
you start removing those comparable pieces from any team in the league.
They're going to have a tough go.
They'd be way lower than Colorado.
Man, can you imagine?
Imagine if Hubertow wasn't signed long term,
what you could trade him to Colorado for?
If he's playing like this, I don't know what they want.
Wouldn't be playing like this.
He wouldn't have a long-term contract.
We don't know.
But yeah.
You know what?
Let's hear from Daryl.
We watched the game.
Ryan and I did after Burner last night,
and we kind of shared our thoughts.
Should Markstrom have been pulled?
Was Markstrom good enough?
The power play.
What about Looch?
Blah, blah, blah.
All of this.
saw some new lines kind of creep in.
We grabbed a snippet, if you will,
of head coach Daryl Sutter, his postgame thoughts from the dome.
He wasn't in good spirits, Red.
I'm going to give you a little hint.
He wasn't happy.
He felt like I do today.
He's a court low.
For the first time all year,
he looked visibly frustrated, agitated, annoyed,
and really just sort of threw his hands up
and started being a dick to people in the media.
Let's hear it.
Was the team not ready in your eyes?
Yeah, I think we were as ready as we could be.
They're the champion, so they had 13 guys in the line up tonight that won the Stanley Cup last year.
We had one.
Big difference.
They know how to, they were still very much in the show me stage.
What did they do that was so effective in the first period?
Nothing in particular.
I mean, the first goal is that we win the face off and we passed the puck to them twice.
we won the face off.
So we should have got both assists on the goal.
And then the second goal is down in their zone.
We lose the face off.
They get a two on one out of it.
And then the third one's the power play
going right to that bounce goal, I think, wasn't it?
So pretty difference in, it's like a different class.
That's for sure.
Do you like that your team responded in the next 40 minutes
they came?
No, I didn't.
The greatest coach in the next 40 minutes they came?
history of the game told me what sometimes it's better to get beat 9-1.
Is that different class you mentioned? Is that a wake-up call for your group?
No, I don't think so. I think we know, I think I got a pretty good idea where our team's
at and we're in the middle of the pack and we're not in their class. I said it this morning if you were listening
about their team and that's what it is. It's a big difference.
Were you happy with the overall effort level and compete in battle tonight or?
Sure. If you think it was there, then you just say that.
there you go that's good that's that's that's Daryl Sutter from last night so you get the champions
coming in and you're coming back that's good Alex thanks buddy um so I you know the little runs at the media
where I think class that's and I yeah but that was a stupid question it was already kind of asked so
he said he's following up trying to get Daryl to talk more about it so he can use quotes from Daryl in an article
and then the follow up was did you like the effort and he didn't answer it
answer that and said, sure, write that if you think that. No one cares what the writer slash reporter
thinks. You need a quote from the coach of the team. The coach is the person whose thoughts are very
important following the game. Anyway, this is what he always does. I just think it's, it's really
arrogant. That's all. So beyond his handling of the press conference, his thoughts, he loves
championship pedigree. Yes, the jewelry is key. Yeah. It was last week he talked about
Trevor Lewis and how he was, you know, you can move him around.
He's a champion.
He's got jewelry.
You can play him with kids and you can play him here and he's talked about there again.
They had however many cup champions from last year, we had one.
Big difference.
Now, poor Blake Coleman only won two in the last three years.
He's not wrong.
They are in a different class right now.
The avalanche with how they performed last night, how they performed last year,
the players they have in their roster.
are in a different class.
It wasn't close.
They're missing all those guys and they dominated the game.
We all get that.
No one's confused here, right?
So it's frustration for the coach.
You know, the players are frustrated.
Day off today.
And he did change the lines in the third.
I'll run them down for you quickly.
To Foley with Lindholm and Hubertoe,
Codry, Mangapani, Coleman,
backland with Dubay and Lewis.
and then Luchich down with Duer and Rizchka.
On paper, on the surface, that feels more like
like first, second, third, fourth,
and you can debate what's your one line, two line,
that sort of thing.
But again, so those are the old lines.
So those are the old lines.
So the big change is that Milan falls out of the top nine,
Trevor Lewis comes in,
and they've shuffled everything else.
Let's just be honest,
what the hell difference?
does it make if you you watched the game last night they aren't that flames are not that you can shuffle
the flipping lines however you want good luck yeah i don't think that the line shuffle means they beat
you guys can't you guys aren't having if they're not they're either they're pissed off and
they're pouting about darrell or they're not having fun or they dislike each other or i don't know
what it is so they don't have the energy to go and compete with those guys okay
Yeah, long road chip, sure.
I'm 100% I said it was going to be the shits playing against Colorado this game.
You nailed it.
And it was.
And so maybe they maybe maybe they're 20% better on a normal night.
Well, 20% better, it ain't going to do it.
If Markstrom's not going to stop pucks in the first and let the team have a chance,
they ain't going to win.
And even if they change the lines, they aren't matching up with these guys.
No, I think it's a bigger picture though, right?
It's not about matching up with Colorado.
It's that you've had Luchichin' a spot in the line.
If he doesn't belong and finally he's out of there.
And I just wonder if.
I'm fine with that.
I'm just saying that's my takeaway from the line.
So it's changed the line.
Go ahead.
Change the lines.
I said don't change the lines.
I said don't change the lines.
They changed the lines and it's screwed everything up.
Since then, it's been quagmire.
It's stuck in the mud BS.
They can't get going again.
But I don't think it's about that.
I mean, like the Colorado came in and you could,
they don't have the speed to match.
And again, okay.
Well, they're tired.
I don't think on their best night, the flames have the speed to match these guys.
They don't have the speed to match an Edmonton team.
They don't have high-end speed.
They don't.
Who's doing it?
Well, if you're not going to play young guys, then you're not going to insert speed, right?
That's where, that's how they could have speed.
Is Jacob Peltche going to outskate McKinnon?
No, of course not.
But he's going to outskate the guy you take out of the lineup for him.
That's all right.
You'd get marginally quicker.
That's fine.
We're not even arguing.
I just think you can put in Peltje and you can put in Zahornav
and you can change lines all you want.
I don't think they're going to win the, they aren't there.
No, but no one thinks they're as good as Colorado.
Shuffling line.
We all know that, right?
Like, we're not talking about, are they good as good as Colorado?
Of course they aren't, right?
Like, this is about now you've got to get your ass back in the playoffs.
With that victory last night, Colorado is ahead of the flames and points percentage.
Edmonton is playing well.
So who are you going to pull out of a
playoff spot that's in one?
All of a sudden,
it's one of those two wild cards
or someone in the top three in the Pacific,
and L.A. hasn't looked great,
but they've banked points along the way
where the flames haven't, they have.
So to me, I'm not really worried about
where they measure up against Colorado.
We talked about it last night.
What do you do with the deadline?
How do you get your ass back in the playoffs
and who are you knocking out of this playoff group?
That's what I'm worried about.
And that's why I'm encouraged about lines changing
because I don't think Luchich on that second line,
you're going to have any sort of pot from Eurado down the stretch.
You need to give him more skill to work with.
And maybe it doesn't work with a young skilled player,
but I'd like to see them at least try.
Go ahead.
I'm just saying if you go up against Colorado
or any of the good teams in the playoffs,
you're not good enough to beat him.
Daryl was asked about the potential for roster moves
or a change in the lineup.
And he said, I'll paraphrase it.
He said, with the salary cap,
you don't have a 30-man roster.
And he said, you guys, when I first came,
here we were talking about individuals and he's used this quote a lot he said we're talking what
individual play and who's going to play with who he's this is a team thing this is about structure this is
about playing whoever is in the lineup about playing a certain way and i am i'm adding to his but i'm
sure he would i'm sure he would support me in that about the the mistakes that are being made and the way
that they're playing i and i don't know it's i feel it's it's it is a bit of a tough one to judge them on
because of the road trip and the opponent and all of that.
But it still comes back to what are they?
Take the step back.
And they have not looked for any amount of time,
for a stretch of time,
like a team that's ready to break through.
Like a team that has some superstar players
who are going to elevate and guys that are going to come through.
You had career years last year.
You've got some guys really looking at career worsts
or close to.
this year.
Yeah, Hubert out was way off.
Four years in a row,
he's been a point per game player.
He's not close to that right now.
That's the obvious one.
Lindholm's not going to score 40
with these current wangers.
Zadora's having a great year.
Beyond that,
I don't know who else you can say.
I mean, I guess To Foley has been,
we talked about it last night.
I think he's been their best forward,
most consistent forward this year.
And that's a pleasant surprise
given that it didn't look like
he fit this lineup perfectly
last year down the stretch.
But yeah, like,
what's it called?
in card for a Darrell team. Do they look like one right now? No. Strong defense, get good
goaltending and grind out one goal games. What they're doing is getting average goal tending,
not playing great defense, and losing one goal games. That's not Darrell hockey. It's a tough
road trip and you come home and you play Colorado and that sucks. Like you are tired. But you know who
wins those games or still competes? Really good teams. Really good teams. And I don't know what
the point I'm trying to make is, but they are, I can't make it so that it's, you can see it on paper.
But there's no way they're emotionally invested in this.
No, this team's fed up with a coach.
They aren't having fun.
They're, they're, they look frustrated.
They don't look excited.
There's nothing, there's nothing loose.
Why would they be?
Right.
How could they?
Alex, if we have the Tifoli goal, can you, and you keep going,
on this right but if you have that's a fully goal there Alex I'd like to take a look at
just I don't know what I it's hard to just keep going on it because it's they aren't
emotionally invested in and what people are like well how do you know that it's like well
just watch they're not playing fast and loose and excited they aren't generally
happy for each other they are and sometimes you got to give a team credit for just being
professional going out and working and playing a game but on the other hand if you ain't having fun
doing this well you won't succeed you can play it there alex it's you just won't you have to be excited
to be at the rink with each other and i don't see it out of these guys i spent so much time doing
this show with with you two donkeys and as i'm watching games i'm hearing you guys in my friggin head
It's about you with lines or this or that.
And you can roll it, Alex.
You talk about, is there any joy in these guys?
And it hit me last night as I'm watching this play.
It's 3-0.
It's a third period.
This is kind of a big goal, power play.
And the reaction from Tofoli and this group,
Hubertoe.
He looks exhausted.
It's relief.
It's not joy.
It's relief.
It's like, oh, God.
Thank you.
Powerplay, finally.
Christ, we need two more of these.
Okay, well, whatever.
Look at them.
No, it's not a let's,
let's go boys.
Third period, we're on the board,
power play, let's go.
It's not the here we go.
It's like,
looking at the blue line,
he doesn't lift his stick.
He just kind of,
and I'm maybe over judging and over analyzing and all of that.
But I take my read off,
look at them.
Oh,
you've.
Right?
Like he,
no, that's not a here we go.
But the thing is,
don't,
Don't just focus on him.
Look at Hubert O in front.
Good.
He scored.
I wonder.
Daryl talked post-game about how Dan Vlodar and Jacob Marksum numbers are very similar.
So he's not going to buy into goalie controversy.
And he's not wrong in the sense that if you look at save percentage in his last 20 games
and goals against, they're really close.
But the difference for Markstrom is that he's allowed goals early in games.
It's tough to be excited when you're getting outplayed by Colorado when it's 3-0
and you're halfway through the first.
And maybe if you get those big saves early from Markstrom, not later, you can get a little more
excited, but it just felt like 3-0 was a hole they weren't going to be able to climb out of,
even though they did play a much more, you know, intense and up-paced and hardworking style late.
And I get it, Colorado's up.
So let's not read too much into it.
But yeah, okay, so A, the coach is one of the biggest hard asses in the last quarter century
in hockey. B, they're way under expectations.
And now you're behind the Stanley Cup champs three nothing.
And they don't even have McCarr or Manson or Landis Scog or any of these other guys
in. Yeah, you know you're fucked.
What it was for me, Retro is because you kind of, I know it's the point you're making.
We sit here and you watch this Flames team.
Maybe what's, just get in.
Just get into the playoffs.
Maybe you've got a goalie that gets hot.
And maybe you're built for that.
it was one of those, you can get in,
but it feels like it's a waste of eight days to quote Sutter, right?
This does not, you got to play better here to get in,
and I'm just not sure that the way this team sits right now,
are you going to beat Vegas or Colorado or any of those top teams in a seven-game series?
I don't know that it's crazy.
I mean, you just have to remember that every year there's one where you're like,
how did that happen?
Like, how did the Montreal Canadians go to the Stanley Cup final?
Like, weird year, pandemic, Canadian division.
and like that wasn't a very good team.
They were on like a less than 95 point pace.
They wouldn't get in the playoffs of that regular season.
And yet there they were.
Totally.
Like I said, weird season.
But it happens.
Lower seated teams beat higher seated teams.
They have no business beating.
You just have to get hot for two weeks.
Now I'm not saying they're going to do it.
But I, if you picture them against Winnipeg.
Is it crazy to think they couldn't have a competitive series against Winnipeg as a wildcard?
Picture them against Seattle if they could somehow face the crack.
Could you see a Seattle team tighten up in their first ever play?
I know it looks awful.
right now, and you called it. They look dog shit.
They come home from a long road trip.
That sucks. But it doesn't mean that let's just go to July 1 or let's trade everyone.
Like, there's still that puncher's chance that happens in this tournament.
Yeah, there is. But that's what it would be.
Yeah. And that's what it is. And that's what the owner understands this league is.
And that's why he only wants just to get in. They'll never commit to retooling and building from,
you know, the foundation up.
I'm not sure how this show is going to go today because we're expecting maybe some guests.
here in studio. We've got a lot of things to get through.
We're continuing to get ready for Jasper.
Your family is coming home. You're tighter
in a golf ball right now.
This guy was building furniture
at 9 p.m. last night.
He sent a picture. I don't know.
That didn't look very sturdy to me.
Yeah, it's not.
Craftsman.
What are you putting on that thing? Not family
heirlooms, I hope.
No, no. It'll be a, uh,
toys the kids don't use because I'm,
spoiling my children so that they won't have kids.
So you're, right.
So you're delayed flights?
Is that what is?
They just landed in Calgary.
What?
Oh, you're dead.
Maybe.
Dead man.
It's been great having you along for Barnburner.
No, I met the cleaner at the front door at 8 this morning.
Uh-huh.
So let's, so with you and retroverse.
I'm just texting right now to make sure everyone's out of there.
Good stuff.
There's some life.
There's some emotion.
There it is.
Yeah, that's Bar and Burner from last night.
He was blaming the,
uh, blaming IKEA.
He says,
IKEA gave him the wrong,
no,
no, no, no, no.
You wanted it to be IKEA's fault.
I think the person that went shopping for IKEA
got two different sets that looked quite similar,
but we're not.
Oh, they pulled the wrong packages.
There was a lot of extra pieces and none
that measured up with the booklet sets.
I see.
They'll work.
They're just not as big as I think.
mom of her thought they'd be.
So we have some things to get through.
I want to do Ask Rhett, if that's okay.
Are you prepared?
Now, I know you're kind of, you're a bit of a grumpy Gus.
I'm worried now about what kind of advice you're going to be offering to the people.
But if you don't mind for Hope Street, I wouldn't, I would love to get into some Ask Redd today.
I would definitely suggest talking to your physician and or therapist before using any of Rhett's advice today.
Hope Street.
You don't need to use your valuable time finding or managing tenants.
You'll get those premium rental rates, quality renters, and sleep easy knowing your property is safe and protected.
They do all the work for you.
Book a virtual meeting online with Hope Street and get them working for you today.
Canada's property manager of the year.
They've got locations in Vancouver, in Edmonton and Calgary.
If you're looking to rent, if you want, maybe you want to rent, you're looking to rent your place to somebody else.
It's Hope Street.
That's all you need to know.
Hopestreet.ca.
They take all of the,
all the stuff that you don't want to do.
It's a nuisance.
It's a pain.
The headaches.
They take the pinder right out of it.
They do.
They completely, completely do.
Hey, Rhett, long time listener.
Congrats on starting the online stream.
I'm now living in Toronto.
I'm going to be going down to Buffalo next month for a flames game.
I'm going to head down on Friday night.
It's a Saturday afternoon.
game. Does Red have any recommendations on what to eat, drink, see, do looking for the authentic
Buffalo experience? Tour de Forest. Okay. Well, you got to have a beef on whack. You've got to go to
Charlie, the Butchers, near the airport, get yourself a traditional Kimmelak roll, some roast beef on there.
It's the, it's the buffalo sandwich. You need to a beef on whack. And then you got to go
there's a lot of places for wings.
Barb Bill is really good.
Duff's is really good.
Anchor bar is the original.
I would lean towards Duff's or Bar Bill for wings.
Don't you have to do the anchor bar, though?
Everyone tells it's the originator of it,
even if it's just kind of a touristy thing to do.
I don't know.
I defer to you.
Go ahead.
You ever done one of those touristy things where you're like,
I'm on the conveyor belt.
This isn't a good experience.
Yeah.
Get out of here.
We have more tourists behind you.
You know what?
And the original anchor bar is in not the best spot.
It's not really ideal.
So I would go to Lenova for a piece of pizza.
Now we're only talking about food.
I was going to say, is there any culture or arts?
You could bring your skates down by the rink.
There's some outdoor skating rinks and venues.
no it feels like a lot of towns have that i think you gave him all the food he's got to eat so
there you go specific to bufflish you know is there like a is there like a landmark a statue or
the big tree right is there something to get your picture with well there'll be a ryan miller no
no or ryan miller's going to hear rat was slagging him and just down the street from
the rink there's lots of pubs the hofbra house is that german yes where i can't
cracked the keg. That's right. Awesome.
When we sneak attack you, we're going there.
Look for my brother and his dopey friends because they'll be in for the Flames game as well.
Okay. Can I give this person your contact info? You guys could hook up.
No problem. Through hopestreet.ca. Okay. Yeah.
Hey, Rhett. Wanted to get your thoughts on people who bring Bluetooth speakers to the beach.
I was in Mexico over Christmas. Every day I'd head down
to the beach and get boozed up listening to the ocean.
But the last couple days, the routine was interrupted by someone blasting their speaker.
I actually liked his music, but I had to move because I just wanted to relax and hear the
sounds of the waves.
Just wanted to know where you stand on that.
Because as you know, Redd, there's nothing worse than a jackass with a Bluetooth speaker,
you know, that goes into a restaurant or a golf course or a clubhouse or something.
or Camp Springs Hotel.
This dummy.
I'm a bit of a hypocrite myself when it comes to that.
It's fun when it's your music.
I'll tell you that.
Yes.
If I'm in charge of the music and it's my speaker,
I think you play it loud.
It's very selfish and wonderful.
Oh, man.
Bamp Springs Hotel.
And it's just what we've all been there where you hear music outside.
The Rundle Lounge.
So you hear music outside of wherever you are.
and it goes from a ways away to like bang in the room
and the volume goes from here to like, whoa, holy cow.
Ryan Pinder with his JBL speaker,
like it hangs over your shoulder.
It's got like a shoulder strap on it.
Hey, everybody, how we can't.
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, shoot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shut,
shut, shut, shut, shut, Jesus Christ.
So funny.
I wouldn't do that.
Oh, it was the end of a long day with a lot of boot.
It would not be, yeah, we were in the mix right around last call doing that.
If the flames were to make a coaching change.
Right after the extension, hey?
This is some pie in the sky shit.
Good question.
Can't help.
You can be okay.
Let's ask rat for Christ.
Like not everything is serious.
If the flames made a coaching change,
Boudreau or Warner,
for head coach.
I thought he could be the GM, but maybe he's coaching.
And I'm not even, I'm not even joking.
He's been around at a bunch of the last few years of this kid, hasn't he?
Marty's, it would be, I don't care about that.
He's respected.
He's a Hall of Famer.
He would, as long as Jerome surrounded himself with the right guys,
I mean, I'm sure there's something to be said for having a long, you know,
tenor as a coach.
and having all that experience and this and that.
But there's also something to be said for having played the game
the way Iggy did and walking into room
and demanding respect just because of who we are.
Similar to Marty St. Louis in Montreal, then?
Why not?
Even more so, because it's his town
where he accomplished everything.
Marty went into Montreal because he speaks French.
Sad but true.
And to be fair, like all the things you said,
the pedigree, the respect.
the Hall of Fame, like all that stuff is already there,
and he's been dabbling and coaching, right?
It's not like he's coming in naked.
And you could get tick-tac, those stuff from lots.
I mean, it's not.
Get a good assistant or associate coach?
I've said it for a decade that I've been doing stuff.
You can overcoach.
You can overcomplicate it.
And you can job justify your way into all kinds of shit.
But that seventh hour of video probably don't make a lick of difference.
Was he one of those guys?
Because you hear from guys who have played.
You'll be like, I, like Rod Brandebor.
You knew that guy was going to be a coach, even as a player.
Sometimes it's the third or fourth line guys.
Was I'm going to, I'm going to enter.
I think so.
Yeah.
I think he,
I don't know if coach, but stay in the game.
Yes.
Yes.
And they would have so many more.
Not that we're not that everyone that played has to coach or wants to coach.
or makes a good coach we saw it with grets but you would have so many more guys with
hockey knowledge and history and passion and if they didn't make it so difficult for guys to
to stay in it right like who's assistant coach in uh st louis oh he's a shit to
oh steve ot Dallas is steveotte yes
he walked right into coaching and the guys love them right like when guys players that are good guys and team guys stick they know how to relate to the players they know how to relate they know the grind they know the ups the downs the ins and outs they know how to they have a better understanding of it and you can't just because you ride a bus and you prove that you're dedicated and you and i i don't that's a tough job
You're living in Saskatoon and you're in Brandon one night and Prince George the next night and you're missing out on family the sacrifice you make to do that is yes, but that doesn't mean that you have a feel for what guys have gone through at the NHL level.
The other thing, there's only 32 of these, right?
Only 32 and how many guys retire every year that had really substantial careers?
Like, it's competitive as hell.
It's competitive as hell, but if that's a guy that wants to get in and I mean, we've all kind of heard.
You know, he's got his kids, but once his kids are moving on and they're playing their junior hockey and his daughter is playing wherever, now what are you doing?
So you can be a parent, you can go and watch them.
But if that fire burns, he will get a job.
And he's not a guy that's going to have to rumble up and down highway one and a bus.
That's just not going to be him.
Interesting.
I got one for a rep, but we'll say it for next week because we're tight on time.
Sure.
It won't be interesting in three years when he's coaching.
He's calling it.
He gets him fired.
He gets him hired.
The most powerful man.
Three years.
In the game.
Daz has got three more years left, eh?
So you're saying he'll coach the flames?
Next coach of the flames is the Jerome again?
Is that what you're saying?
That was the ask correct.
Wouldn't.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Yes.

They present the Pinder Report.
All right, guys.
We start last night with the Flames
and the avalanche.
We had Afterburner last night,
so rather than us tried to do another after Burner,
let's just hear what Boom and I had to say last night
after a rather thorough victory for the Avs,
missing two super star, one star was another star.
A lot of really good players, it didn't seem to matter.
Luch has not turning it over as much,
these little short area passes,
he's good on the wall, like he's not bad at all things.
He's got some nice skills here.
But you just knew it wasn't going to last long term.
I think tonight was the night that Daryl realized
and he knows it was never a long-term fix,
but he can't do this anymore
because for as much better as Luchich has been,
how silent has Huberto been the last week and a half?
It's, you notice him for the errors he's making.
Yeah.
He's visible because he's making,
he's turning the puck over.
He's making bad plays.
I've said it before.
I hate doing it because everybody loves Luchech,
and he's not going into Daryl's office
with a ski mask and handguns and saying,
Listen, prick, second line.
It's not a de, like, it's not a luce problem.
It's a Daryl problem.
He's being slotted improperly.
And I, I don't, are you trying to maybe send a message to management?
Are you trying to exaggerate the point by putting him on the second line and keeping him there?
And then when he plays, well, you're almost shooting yourself in the foot.
I don't think he's going to sabotage his team or sabotage his guys.
But I, I just don't know how you sit there or stand there and watch the last six periods of hockey.
You got one tonight on a power play.
and you got one in Nashville in the third period on a,
what was it, Coleman's goal at the side of the net?
There's nothing pretty going on with this team right now.
Those guys are good.
I wouldn't miss, I wouldn't miss it.
Who's the homeless guy and who's the tired old man?
I would subscribe on YouTube and wherever you get your podcast.
As fast as you can.
After Burger, get on it.
Something we didn't mention.
Let's go to the highlights of the game, including,
Look at this performance by the crowd.
What a phenomenal crowd.
Down 3-1 and the 3rd.
There they were boying the spirits of the home team
with a rock-solid wave.
This is our boy, Mandip, from the game.
Look at this, yeah.
You're getting your asses kicked by the Stanley Cup champs.
Why do we stand up and celebrate?
Woo!
I wish this was the carnival.
I'm not even here to watch hockey.
Awesome.
Congrats.
I hope they had a good night.
Here's the standings.
It's not great, Dean.
You hate.
There's a time and a place for everything.
Down 3-1, probably not the best for the wave.
There's Colorado, Rhett.
They're ahead and points percentage.
The only thing's saving you is they've played three less games.
If they play anything like they did last night,
I feel like they're going to do okay in those three games they have in hand.
Hmm.
If you like they're starting to roll,
they might put up some points the second half of the season.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And if it's minor with McCar,
that's just another superstar that slots back in.
that's not ideal.
They're going to chase someone down here now.
I'm mad at myself.
I'm also mad at myself because I said the other day
that it's Calgary or Colorado
making the playoffs.
There's no way Colorado's missing the playoffs.
No, you just said that Calgary's going to miss the playoffs.
Wouldn't it be nice if you had a guy in the system
that was just scoring it well in the American League?
Let's go to the overtime, puck drop in Abbotsford
between the heat and the Abbotsford Canucks.
Didn't take long.
Don't blink here.
There's the drop of the puck.
Ben Jones, the center here.
Okay, so this is OT.
Yeah, one second.
That's your old squat.
That's your old rank pin.
Three second, yeah, four seconds.
Zink, game over, Phillips.
That goal is terrible.
Bad goal, they all count.
What is the goal he doing?
Yeah, a little blocker, I don't know.
No, that's a perfect shot.
Just inside the bar, just over the, I mean, look at.
Great.
Foot off the ice.
shot.
Yeah.
If only he wore some sort of a weight belt to training camp, he might have a chance.
He's too light.
Okay, we'll keep moving.
Is that snarky?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
A lot?
Gotcha.
Is it?
Speaking of the flames, the good news is the team coming in on Saturday didn't even
win the Stanley Cup last year.
They only won it the two years prior.
So let's have a peek at how they did in Vancouver last night.
It was a big night for lightning history and for one of the best finishers.
of all time. At least our lives?
Yeah, I took a peek here.
It really seemed like they were struggling.
Jersey's look good for Vancouver.
Yeah, those jerseys like this.
I was just to think it looks like Saturn, not a skate.
Look at this little setup.
And that's an easy finish for goal number 500 for Stamco.
Like, come on.
Same league, same sport.
Holy Christ, it's bad in Vancouver right now.
Let's go to the Stamcoast-y-stats, nerd stats.
He, you know, a lot of injuries have bothered this guy, but per 82 games, 43 over the course of his career, 17%.
Legend indeed.
And the bolts, yeah, they're hitting stride as they arrive in Calgary, Dean.
Perfect timing, right?
And they've got a couple days to probably hang in the mountains, enjoy themselves, be all rested up.
Maybe they go to Banff, get some curling in, something like that, have some fun.
Fun's good, right?
Rett was saying it's good to have fun at the rink.
Is that what you do in the mountains?
just have some fun.
Wow, the flames don't.
I know that.
Also from the Canucks broadcast last night, really quick.
Let's turn the sound up for this.
What is this noise you're hearing, Red?
This is what?
John Garrett and John Shorthouse, two Johns.
On the Canucks call.
Sports Night West.
Sports Night Pacific, excuse.
Whatever it is.
Sound up.
Oh, is that you?
No.
Yeah, the only thing you can salvage a bowl in the Canucks broadcast
is watching the other team score and figuring out who farted.
Now, he's out.
Back hands are down the ice.
I don't know.
It sounds too high pitch for me.
I feel like it's somebody moving a table or something, but it could be a table moving.
I'd be very happy to pass it off as someone farting in the booth.
I really want it to be a fart.
Yeah, I do.
Erickson, excuse me, Eric Carlson is having a monster year.
The team sucks.
Carl Erickson is too.
Call Erickson a monster year as well.
Eric Erickson and Carl Carlson as well.
Look at this.
Over 25 minutes a night, 15 goals.
And the knock on him is like, well, he blows at 5 on 5.
Hang on.
He's outscoring opponent 61, 52 at even strength.
Even normal Eric Carlson and his prime wouldn't do that.
And when he's not on the ice, they're getting pummeled by 29 goals.
But what about his plus minus, guys?
What about his plus minus?
Right.
So that's the question.
Minus six.
11 empty net goals when he's been on the ice against him.
That's probably why.
Nice sick data.
Wasn't that what Tom Brady said?
Sick data.
Sick data.
Yeah.
Cool stats.
Yeah, your minus six.
Should have tried harder with that empty net when your team's losing every night.
Carlson.
I still think they need a ton of money to move that guy.
Okay.
All-star jerseys are out and I bet Rett's going to hate them.
Let's have a look.
Kind of a throwback.
Where's the game?
It's in Miami, right?
That's right.
Yeah, those are South Beach colors, but.
It's very 80s.
You know what?
I think young people are going to like these a lot,
and that's probably all that matters these days.
That's what the All-Star Games for.
Here's the thing.
My take on these,
you're seeing them on a hangar.
It's like, I don't know.
Gloves, pants, socks.
Yeah, that's true.
Name bars, numbers.
Yeah.
I bet you they'll be fire.
What do you do with the pants and gloves?
Wow, look at you.
They'll be fire.
Holy shit.
That's right.
Matt Dumbah, Healthy Scratch in Minnesota tonight.
That's not ideal.
we had a real good meeting.
He knows why he's sitting out tonight.
Gologoski comes in.
That's something to watch as we approach a trade deadline.
UFA this summer.
Seattle's got some cool practice jerseys.
Teams have been doing this.
We saw Pride jerseys.
We had the Diwali jerseys in Vancouver.
Check these ones up for Seattle.
If we can zoom in.
This is the Lunar New Year.
It's a rabbit, but it's got that shape of the S like Seattle
in terms of the cracking design.
That's pretty sick.
Seattle's just doing everything, right, aren't they?
Like, what have they screwed up?
I'll say this.
There's not many of these.
A year ago, we were absolutely wrong.
No, I know, but they're two years in
and they might win the division.
That's crazy.
I was going to say that the other day.
Does everybody owe Ron Francis a bit of Mia Culpa?
I think he's an idiot.
It doesn't know what he's doing.
They're still not getting a lot of saves.
That's the thing.
Marty Jones hasn't been hanging zeros for them right now.
One final stat on the NHL,
the ducks still really, really, really suck.
We are into late Jan.
January. Guess how many regulation wins?
Ooh, I know it was one.
Don't look at your screen. Four. Is it four? So there's October, November.
One a month. They're on pace for six.
That's a good clip.
Don't. Please don't let.
Baderd end up there. You don't want a guy at 10.30 Eastern, 1130 Eastern drop in the puck.
Oh, God. Really quickly, Rhett, your bills involved in a European vacation. I think you should
bucket as soon as the dates come out, the NFL announcing who will be heading overseas next
year. One game in Germany, a few more in London, bills and Titans, Tottenham Hotspur,
and the Chiefs and Patriots will play in Germany.
That's what they put the bills over. The bills are good. Like I, I think so are the Patriots
and Chiefs historically. They're starting to get some good teams over there because they're making
some big money over there. You should go. You're going to go? Want to go? Go. Should go. I'm not
sure I can leave the countries.
Okay, fair.
It's the gonorrhea.
Last couple, we got guests here.
In fact, we'll save the very last one.
The shoveler has been great at sending us video of Rhett.
Now, he's grumpy today.
This is from earlier today.
He's hungry as crap, but she's playing a trick on him.
So this is in Rett's kitchen.
Oh, okay, yeah.
He's trying to get at some food here.
I got this.
Oh, geez.
The child locks on.
Rets really working here.
Someone else has heated up some porridge.
You put your pop tart in there?
Yeah.
Son of a bitch.
Get up.
Come on.
Sheller! She's coming in quick. I gotta get this.
Anyway, hope you can find
some nice lunch today, Rhett. Cats are assholes.
They are assholes.
Red likes cats. He hates dogs.
Who hates dogs? Who hates dogs?
Who hates dogs?
Fire on...
I don't know. That's a light.
Who likes cats.
Anyway, best of luck
turning it around today, Rhett.
That's your Pinda Report for Village Honda. We'll see you there tonight.
The all-new CRV Hybrid has arrived at Village Honda.
to stop in road tested today.
Northwest Auto Mall online village honda.com.
You got a little QR code.
Check out the new Honda court.
It's coming in.
The Honda Passport Trail.
Sport is in stock.
Lots going on at Village Honda.
Special guests.
What kind of idiot lets their cat pull the microwave off?
Well, they put the kid lock because the cat was too good at this ship.
Good cats.
Special guests coming in studio.
But we're going to let you go, retro.
Go and rebound.
Better day tomorrow.
What's up for the rest of the day?
I can't.
I'm not sure it will be because if I go get drunk with those
Ryan Miller dudes and probably wake up feeling crappy.
Awesome.
Well, we look forward to that.
Thanks for your efforts today.
Appreciate you.
The wing was last name.
Delicious.
Good stuff.
Quick break, tight turn coming back.
Special guests.
Stay there.
Hey, by the way, oilers suck.
We'll be right back.
Barnburner rolls on.
It's Boomer and Pinder here on a Thursday.
Boy, I'm glad we got red off early.
He was very, it was as rough a pre-show as we've had with him.
It was very certainly.
That's as hours he's been since we launched this thing.
Yeah, look at him.
He actually looks pretty good there.
It looks all right there.
But he was very, very grumpy.
We've got to change the mood here.
We're going to shake it up.
One of the things about doing this new show, it allows you flexibility to do,
kind of what you want, when you want, for how long you want, that sort of thing.
And we said when we started, it'll be great.
Man, if we can get some heavy-hidden guests and we can get some, you know,
Hall of Famers and get some of the best of the best.
Yeah. And, I mean, Mike Soroka came in.
Calgary guy, a lot of Braves.
We've had some great, great guests.
Right Conroy.
And this one came together.
I wasn't sure because their schedule is, it's slammed.
Well, they're all over the place.
Just flying around.
Designer luggage.
Very excited to welcome our next guest.
Now this is from the YouTube's.
It's a classic.
It's an oldie, but I feel it's a goodie.
It's one of my favorites.
Let's take a look at our guests in action.
Crash texts are free.
Come on, Oly.
Stick up for me.
Oh, yeah, baby.
Do something.
You're not even trying.
I just hit him.
Whatever.
All right, one nothing, boys.
We can go.
One only.
And second's losing it.
Jacob!
Jacob, boy!
That's game, boy!
That's game!
Let's go!
That's game!
Well, I feel bad
because it's...
Well, they play better than that, too.
That's not always how it goes.
That's right.
That's right.
You bring him in after an L like that.
in after an L like that. They've won some games. You don't have to show that one. That was like,
boys, I think that was like five years ago and to see how far you, you have come in that,
in that amount of time. Very pleased to be joined here in our studios. The on the bench boys,
we got, we got Ollie and Jacob are down, Ollie Post and in, and we had you guys in studio
at the other place, our old, at the old, and at that point, you guys were on fire. You guys were
traveling the globe, you were on national television, you've gotten even bigger. I'm looking at your
YouTube channel, the hits, you've got millions of views on YouTube, you're all over the place.
What's new with the boys here? It's great to see you. It's good to see you. Thanks for having
us. I just wanted to narrow down. Like that, after watching that game tape, we haven't watched it in a while.
It's just, I mean, lack of communication on his part. No, I was playing spot on defense. You couldn't even
go between the legs. You weren't blocking the seg in there. Did you see the size of your rudders back then?
You got nothing.
They're like oars.
But just watching the game tape, boys, it's just that definitely wasn't our best.
Drysidl sticks, a tough blade to use.
I'm with you.
Like, different.
It's hard, though.
I think that's probably for a lot of NHL guys.
The next day, you sit down, you watch game tape with your teammates, and it can be tough sometimes.
But you got to hold each other accountable.
Yeah, there's not many flaws with me, but Jacob, you know, he's working on him.
Yeah.
We got to, yeah, we got to really work on Oli's teamwork capabilities.
So, boys, take us all the way back.
I don't want it to be a bit all far because we're talking about jazz.
We've got a lot of things to talk about.
But I am fascinated about your story.
How did you guys meet?
And how did it come to be that two guys, very different backgrounds,
two very different guys, are unbelievable teammates.
Years ago.
Yeah, we first met.
Like, I got drafted when I was seven years,
it was old to the Bangladesh Pro League.
It was either stay in school or chase my dream.
So I went to Bangladesh at seven.
said goodbye to the rents and uh you were in virgin island
yeah i was playing for the virgin island elite league for the coconut cutters yeah um just a good
spot and just had a spirited tilt against each other uh one game we just went uh toe to toe
like god would we have 15 fights that game some and just just a tie like only didn't i don't
think he landed one punch i didn't land one but i think i landed 252 i believe it would have been super
close yeah i've heard a lot about the sea cutters yeah back in the day
Yeah.
That's what they call them.
The sea cutters.
You got to keep your head up.
Pretty nasty.
Soft ice, too.
So you got to have, like, powerful rudders.
So it's kind of like wading water.
Right.
And you just rip.
So that's why we got like legs like Sid.
We have big legs.
Yeah, trunk.
Lower half, yeah.
Yeah.
But ever since that, we just decided, like, hey, we're two of the best players in the world.
We might as well just like show the world.
And Jacob accidentally leaked all of our practice stuff.
So that's how it started.
Yeah.
I didn't know what Instagram was.
I thought it was just like going to my hockey DB,
and then it just ripped up onto the inner web, I guess.
Yeah, just took off.
Yeah.
And then Connor and those boys are like, boys, I need help.
Like, yeah, I know.
I think, and that's what I was going to say.
It's great because you guys have really taken your gifts
and you've decided to give back.
Two NHL players like Connor, we saw Mark Andre,
Flurry over the years, we've seen you with a lot of NHL guys.
And the kids as well.
So many people, so many young hockey players,
have so much to learn from you guys.
And you are giving back, and I think that's great.
Yeah, we're basically like a charity for hockey advice.
You know, we just give it away.
We don't expect anything in return except free stuff.
Yeah.
Money too sometimes.
Yeah, money too helps.
Kind of like a charity.
Yeah, so we just, we don't take anything for it,
but obviously we take a lot of hockey equipment and money and meals.
Yeah.
And a couple wobbly pops here.
Free flights and things like that.
Flights, hotel stays.
Designer Bays.
Nothing crazy.
Okay.
Yeah.
Just kind of stag.
We're super humble and we're the best at it.
That's right.
It's not easy to be humble.
No, it's not easy.
Yeah.
Now, I saw it on your YouTube because we're going up to Jasper.
It's our first time.
Panhockey.
And you guys, last year, right?
Yeah.
You've done this before.
Yeah, we did some scouting.
What can you tell us about last year's event, your experience and maybe what we should be ready for?
I mean, you guys know them as Oilers Nation, but we call them Trash Nation, where we're from.
She called them that too.
So they were out there, and they were, like, hyping up a big game that Yama Chukuk or whatever his name is.
Yeah, yeah.
Super unmemorable person.
And guys got the worst knees have ever seen.
Super bendy.
His ankles touch ice and skates?
That entire team was kind of trash.
Yeah, his skate laces are stiffer than his ankles.
Yeah.
So we watched them for a bit.
The biggest thing is, like, when you're watching them, it's awesome because you can just look up.
You have a mountain view.
You don't have to watch them play.
Yeah.
So it's like gorgeous out there.
That's probably the best,
best part.
Good people just crushed.
How many beers you crushed last?
A couple hundred.
Yeah,
a couple hundred.
Whoa.
Yeah,
we went hard.
It's a lot,
yeah.
Yeah,
basically you're looking for it and being like Calgary boys.
You represent the red and yellows.
It's going to be an easy,
like tier hockey for you.
Good.
Yeah.
So you're going to enjoy it,
boys.
They're not used that altitude either.
I mean,
that's the thing you can forget.
What's that?
Lowlanders.
Their attitude.
They're not altitude.
Altitude.
Attitude.
to the heights, being jasper, the mountains.
This is like home territory, home turf.
This is what we thrive in, you know.
Thin air?
Yeah.
We can literally like blind ourselves so we can't breathe
and then we can still breathe.
We're just elite.
I was going to say that's part of training in Calgary.
That's why you guys are here.
It's the elevation and the attitude, yeah.
The attitude, yeah, that's right.
Also, those beers get harder in the hot tub with that thin air.
Did you guys notice that?
Not really.
Again, like elite athletes.
Yeah, so.
So I, my personal belief, I was supposed to be in water, I'd have gills.
So I'd just walk on it.
Sure.
Why would you have gills?
Fishies.
Which don't have gills?
Yes, they do.
It breathed through the air and the water.
Yeah, with their neck.
Tell me about the fundies.
There's so many, there's so many fundies.
But if I have, I have kids, Ryan has young boys.
How old are your boys?
My guys are seven, they're playing you and I don't even think they know what fundies are.
Like we're talking fundamentals, basics?
This is like getting, how do we become superstars, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, essentially it just starts, especially at that age, right?
They're technically not supposed to pay contact,
but how can you prep for the show unless you're playing show hockey?
Correct.
We're just playing Zegers and not hit.
Yeah, we're not soft.
Like we're Canadians.
Right.
So, you know, you just go through it, like teach them the angles.
So head-on T-bones, like those are what you want.
Head-on T-Bones.
Yeah.
So you just go head-on, straight T-bone.
And numbies, elbows up.
You teach them how to play with grit immediately
so they don't go soft like, what's that,
what's the toilet paper with the bears?
Cottonel.
Yeah, yeah.
And a lot of these stupid coaches in youth hockey
are teaching like head up, you know,
don't look, look down.
If you're looking down,
how is the player supposed to know where you're going?
Or how is the goalie supposed to know where you're shooting?
Yeah.
So we always teach just head down.
Head down.
Don't let them know your next move.
Eyes will tell them, right?
I'll tell them exactly.
Ask any goalie.
If you don't know where it's going, they don't know where it's going.
Yeah.
And just like flash it up, we've seen a lot of,
we've seen a big increasing kids doing a lot of Michigan's and tow,
tow drags.
And that's great for the league because you're not going to get scouted if you just
basic crappy hockey like breakouts and crap like that.
No, watch it up.
You all play for yourself because only one player at a time gets drafted,
not a whole hockey team.
It's true. I've only seen single names at that draft table.
Even the twins got drafted separately.
Exactly.
Name bar, not the logo.
That's right.
So we're watching this, this went viral.
You talk about millions of hits on YouTube and all of that.
I think you guys can see it there.
What are we watching here on the YouTube?
We're talking about individual.
You're talking about, you know, it's the Michigan and this fancy stuff and how you guys would never do that.
I'm just seeing what this is.
Yeah, that was just my first shift on the ice.
I was like, you know, a pretty decent crowd.
I thought I'd flash it up a little bit 360.
Mishy topcorn.
Yeah.
Mishie.
Oh, golly.
A little glass jump.
Yeah.
Mishy top corn.
They chase you out of there?
How did that go?
Yikes.
I just wanted the other team to know that that we were there.
Yeah, go and embarrass them.
Yeah.
Just disrespect the goalie's family.
Yeah.
That's exactly what I did there.
Yeah.
So I think he actually quit hockey.
So you'll see a lot of that in Jasper.
Even though there's not a goalie,
I'll still be rifling those at the net.
So, and I was because I wanted to talk about,
for your boys, any young girls boys that are aspiring.
Cellars?
You have the book.
It's called The Fundies.
Yeah.
This just feels like this is the Bible.
It is.
Every, every kid.
It's the hockey bag.
Everyone who's in the game, he is a copy of the fundies.
It is the hockey Bible.
Fun fact about it.
This is the only smart thing I actually know.
It was Globe Mail bestseller for eight weeks.
Whoa.
It's pretty hot.
The golden mail.
Yeah.
You Google is true.
Yes.
Yeah, it's on the Google.
I heard the biggest problem with the book is that it's not enough languages.
There's so many kids playing hockey in other countries.
Yeah.
Is that a big issue for you guys?
Are you working on the?
the translations?
Like, how many different?
Like to other languages.
Like,
not everybody.
Everyone's speaking?
Yeah, so we'll probably try like maybe German or Austrian and like those.
We actually,
there's some like fans down in Brazil.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So.
Here it's getting big there in Brazil.
Yeah.
So without,
because we want people to buy the book,
obviously.
What are some of the things you'll learn?
What are some of the fundies?
You'll,
you'll explain in the book and all of that,
but just.
Well,
obviously we start with a little history of the league how our ancestors started hockey and stuff
like that and then we break down like right into tj's uh body contact fighting how to flood the score
sheet with penalty minutes goals or apples whatever it takes you just want your name in on the sheet
yeah get noticed right yeah stuff like that how not to be a coach's pet just different things to do we get
uh eating regiments and we break down all the words so that you can understand how to talk
talky too.
Yeah, yeah.
Like a glossary, eh?
Yeah.
Because if you don't know about the corns and the fundies and all that stuff, you're going
to get lost.
You get left behind it.
Yeah.
Well, if someone's burning hoof down the wall, cuts hashies, rips up the top of the
Syriks.
Maybe it's a fish, couple leggies.
Yeah, and then towies blue, he hits the cleave and ripple on top corns.
How are you going to know unless we tell you?
Yeah.
How's a kid's supposed to know?
You got to get this book in their hands.
That's how.
On the website, can you buy it through the website or wherever books are sold, that sort of thing?
Chapters.
Chapters, Indigo, Barnes and Noble.
Amazon.
Amazon.
Yeah, Urware.
Yeah.
The fundies with Ollie and Jacob.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What are the crowds like?
Because you're going to be in Jasper.
We're going to be there.
Trash Nation is going to be there.
You know, the Frozen Lake, mountains.
Are you guys used to, like, do you have an entourage?
You have security coming with you?
Like, you've got to be a few people deep for audio you sell the time.
We just roll solo.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We usually don't have security because we take care of our.
ourselves.
That's fair.
Yeah.
So,
I mean.
Yeah,
we just,
you guys are the muscle,
I guess.
Yeah,
we'll bring friggin
Rett's cat.
You see that thing?
Yeah,
things,
things juiced.
That thing's hauling it
a goddamn microwave.
Yeah.
You bring him in for security.
It's world's strongest cat
right there.
Jeez.
So,
what's all the crap on his microwave?
Yeah,
I don't know.
It's a lot of,
it's a lot of knick knacks there.
Like,
you know what?
That's all of his goofy health pills.
That's his,
you don't need that many toothpicks.
What the hell
you're doing with a thousand toothpicks.
What are you going to? This guy just does chin up.
Since when do you need toothpick to take Tylenol?
It's not going to get stuck in your teeth.
That cat's an asshole. You can tell just by looking at him.
You want no part of that.
You're a good. Hogan cat.
Like train your pets for it.
Yeah.
All right. Sorry.
It's not ideal.
The, this life that you guys are living, you're giving back to kids, you're teaching
people about the game with the fundies and all of this.
Give us some of the highlights, because I know the last time we were
talking to you. I think you were off to Dubai and you were meeting billionaires and this,
this is legit. Other billionaires. People want you, you're in demand literally around the
globe. What have been some of the cool places you guys have been? Definitely Dubai, obviously. That
was like a once in a lifetime. We got to go play with the Mighty Camels, which was sick.
And they recreated the 72 Summit series out there against some of the Russian players that played
in it, which was nice. Yeah. And a little funny story about that one is,
They had a guy who was Vladimir Putin.
You know that guy?
You heard him?
I have.
Yeah, he was like the Russian, like, manager or something.
Yeah.
But he had a buddy on the team, and they came into the locker room before the game,
and they said literally nobody touches this guy.
If he has the puck, just leave him alone, let him do his thing.
And then Jacob goes out there and hammers him.
Yeah, he was sticking people.
And then idiot took a suicide pass on my side playing defense.
The whole crowd just went quiet, and I thought Jay, Jacob was dead.
Yeah.
So I stepped up and took him to.
down.
Well, yeah.
Do you want to play hockey?
Let's play hockey.
Don't stick my teammates.
Are you like, it's a code.
Crushes people in charity games too.
Oh, yeah.
Same with Commodore as well.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
This is, so we're playing in a charity game in Erdry and it was fire versus police and
Commie was on my team playing defense too.
And this kid that played on the RCs, he was like a hot shot from the queue and played
there like five years.
He was benching only because he just wanted to win.
bad. First person ever be benched at a charity.
Yeah. And this, so this police officer,
he's like sticking commie and like in the
balls and stuff. And like you
you guys know Comey's hands. They're the same size of my
mitts. I was like, that's a bad idea.
But commie stayed cool. And then
I got a chance. I was skating forwards
back. He was on the wing. I knew who's
cutting into the middle because he's a cocky forward.
And as soon as he cut,
I just dropped down full front flip hip
check in front of everyone
in the energy, best thing that ever happened.
He never came off to charity. He actually stopped playing hockey.
Yeah, I would be rattled.
Yeah, he'd be riddled.
So that was pretty cool.
I like that.
You guys are very, because of the hair and the dress and all of that, you stand out in a crowd.
Do you have a hard time with people coming up to you?
Because, you know, the red hat, like I say, it's, you don't really blend in.
Would you say your celebrities?
Do you like the attention or how, what's it like living like a superstar?
Yeah, it's like when we go, it's pretty much like the rock and Kevin
heart. Yeah. Like we're mega celebrities like Tom. No, we're not. No, we're just normal dudes.
We put our skates on one, one boot at a time, you know, we just roll around. People want to come up,
ask for advice. We're the professors. Just come say, what's up. You know what, though it's very humble
of you, but you guys are pretty. That's why I suppose to carry. They go no enthrals. That's bold,
man. You guys are huge. You guys are huge. I haven't working out. It's unbelievable.
What's after Jasper? I know that you guys are rocking around and just zipping around the globe here.
Off to T.O. The six.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
This one's going to be a little fun.
I don't know if we can really leak a lot about it.
But there's something cool coming to take care of arenas around town.
And it's going to be a blast.
So we're going to launch that out.
And unfortunately, it's in Toronto.
That kind of sucks.
And then maybe a quick rip to the All Star.
We saw those jerseys out.
Those are sick.
You like those?
Yeah, big fan person.
Miami colors, right?
A little pink that baby blue.
They kind of look like the heat jersey.
When they did those fades.
Yes, the Miami.
Like, those are pretty nasty.
So I'm on your website, on the bench.
Dot Life and looking at some of the things.
Now, you're wearing, I believe, one of the, that's a greasy snappers jersey.
Yeah, the granada greasy snappers.
That's one of our teams.
Yeah.
And you can buy the snapper.
You can also get the twine tickler, the twine tickler t-shirt.
You guys have all kinds of, the Tendipterminator.
you guys have got it, you've got it all going here.
Yeah.
This is unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable merge here.
It's actually, you guys, some jerseys to hang up in here.
Super comfy.
I love that.
Yeah, like you can block shots with it, and it's going to hit the jersey before your chest.
Yeah.
It still hurts, but like it will 100% of the time, if it hits the jersey, it's not going to hit your skin.
Boys, what's next?
You've got merch, you've traveled the globe, you're doing all this.
I mean, this just feels like they're...
You thought about politics?
I just see Netflix and all these, you know,
they're always looking for content and that.
I just feel like your guys,
your life story should be a show.
Yeah, really.
We did a movie back in Minnesota.
So that way to be continued because Jacob gave everyone COVID.
Shut it down.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And then we have a TV show on the go.
So we're going to be coming out with the TV show.
No kidding.
Yeah.
Jeez.
Can we tell them what it is a little bit?
It's going to be a fun one.
We got to rip the pilot.
still. So we're going to head out to Minnesota, but basically we're going to show you boys where to go play hockey outside.
You guys ever been somewhere just to say you fly to, let's just say Chicago and you're like, man, I want to play hockey.
I don't know where anything is.
So we're going to do a series where we give you where all the rings are, all the good ones, the accessibility to it, light, place where you can eat around.
So it's just like.
We're going to hunt down the best ODRs.
It's just like the funnies of going playing ODRs.
Exactly.
I love it.
ODR Hunter.
so it's going to be fun.
Yeah.
Cut the cost.
Anyone can go play.
All you need is skates,
stick and gloves.
You guys are the perfect,
and it's a perfect fit.
Yeah.
You guys are a great fit.
I think that's an awesome idea.
The YouTube stuff,
the videos and that,
you've taught a lot of the NHLers
how to kind of how to do it.
It seems like most guys had,
they took it well.
They accepted your advice
and your pointers and that.
Were there any players
that weren't really down
with you guys?
they weren't really digging what you were doing?
Yeah, probably Tanev.
It's a long hair.
Chris Tanev, right?
I don't know what's one of the guys.
Who's the Tanev on the flames?
Chris, right?
Yeah.
Because Brandon's actually really good now.
Yeah.
And, uh,
yeah, I think it's Chris Tenev.
He just didn't know.
He had no idea and he was super concerned about how his hair looked flipping over.
Yeah.
So he's intimidated.
Yeah, he had no idea, but I think that's what it was.
I think when we hit social,
whoever it was, probably team manager was like,
you got to shut down social because there's something blown up right now
and you're not going to be able to hack it with these boys so that's tough yeah but
apparently he's a beauty because we're friends with brock and he said he's a nice guy so yeah
salt of the earth yeah yeah on the bench dot life is the website you guys are on you're on you're
