And the show Doth Beginneth here on a Thursday.
Welcome to Barnburner.
How are we doing, everybody?
What's what are you texting, right?
Who are you texting?
What are you texting?
What are you going to call?
Poor coach Pat Coletta.
Oh.
Sabre's alumnus.
Pain in the ass.
Yeah.
Number one saber guy.
He was a pain in the ass.
He had to have some neck surgery today.
Oh.
I think I could use some.
Quit text.
No.
I wouldn't mind some.
Who does he go to?
No one neck surgery.
Is Dr.
What about outdoor dental?
Dr. Jay?
Is that a laser?
Can he?
Dr.
Jay.
Well,
I'm going to outdoor dental.
Oh yeah.
Get some teeth.
No,
no.
Spinal.
If not,
we can go down the tower and they can take it to $1,500 and just drive it over you.
That front left tire.
Just lay right on the grounds.
Yeah,
I got a bit of a,
you know what I got?
I got a hitch in my giddy up.
That's what I got right now.
Until the pre-show is sold.
We're just going to have to relay anecdotes from the pre-show,
which is the best part of the show every day.
We just have to see.
You had just stated that your conundrum today is different than normal.
Yeah.
But it's still a conundrum.
I think I may have had too much sleep last night.
Damn.
What are we?
What kind of hour?
What are we talking for hours here?
Because for you, if you get five, that's more than normal.
But yeah, yeah.
Usually it's that 1011, 1011.
Somewhere in there.
And depending on the day, it's 2 a.m.
3 a.m.
145.
Last night, no game, nothing going on.
I was probably in the wrapper by 10,
or closer to 10 than 11.
Yeah.
And I let her swing right till about 630, 645 damn near 7.
That's almost, that's right?
So that's almost a normal night's sleep.
If not more than is.
I find funny about you is that you is that you're,
You're considered a world-class sleeper.
Like funny ha-ha?
No, what it is is I can fall asleep like that, but it's for how long?
Holding the sleep is the problem.
That's not world-class sleeper.
I'm a world-class sleeper.
I could crawl on this table right now, and I'd, it was like that video.
We had a view for, speaking of outdoor dental, that snoring video.
I could just do it right here live for you.
Salt and pepperette, just saw logs, start learning.
There it is.
There is.
How do you feel about the shoveler providing us with this content?
Are you all right with it?
Or do you feel kind of invasion?
Take the phone away.
Yeah.
Take the phone away.
That feels like it's an invasion of privacy,
even though he's sleeping.
What if he was talking in his sleep,
divulging all kinds of top secret information?
Oh, Jennifer.
Who's Jennifer?
Who's Jenny?
Wake up, you scumbank!
You prick!
Speaking of Tower.
Yes.
We are live from the Tower Chrysor Studios today.
Tower Chrys are the favorite, most favoriteest,
Dodge Ram,
Chrysler dealer in all of our city.
And surge.
Neck fixers.
That's right.
And neck fixers.
Fixerists, yeah.
Well, when you said I need some frame repair, I was talking about my back.
I did not mean my vehicle.
It's all the same thing.
Funny.
The hell was I going to say?
Yeah.
That is not.
That was me rolling out of the sack this morning.
Oh, fuck.
Oh.
That was the connection rolling out of Pittsburgh and D and out of the rapper today.
Yeah.
There I am.
But we're another day closer to the pond hockey event up in Jasper.
And you've got people spooked.
You're frightening.
Have you got your stuff?
You get in the ice.
You're getting some ice in.
You get poor surge over a tower.
I just want to know if you can play or not.
That's all.
Can you imagine Pinder like you're living it?
I'm not there.
He's basically GMing that team.
Like, we got to have a good showing.
You got to have a good showing.
Got man deep in, I think.
That's going to help.
He's hauling people in.
He's looking for ringers.
You see me working this weekend's warm-up tournament to get ready.
I know.
It's a shadow roster.
We got call-ups.
This is my HL.
I got the black aces ready to go here.
So here's Serge yesterday.
He sends me the photos like, hey, I swung by adrenaline source for sports.
I, uh, I, because Pinder was saying, have you got any skates?
So I went and I had to grab some, I got some skates.
I got, uh, I got some gloves in that.
I got the smelling salts.
He's got smelling self.
You got them all worked up.
This is all great.
Can he play hockey?
Did he play hockey growing up?
Has he played hockey?
I don't know.
I have an update for you though.
Okay.
Texted me this morning.
Had my first practice last night.
Yikes.
Oh boy.
Can't walk today.
I may have to rethink this bleep.
I said practice.
He said something like that.
It was rough.
Outdoor rink.
I'm not sending the video.
video because I know you'll air it.
This is what I'm worried about.
I found out that hockey is not, yeah.
You're worried about the wrong thing.
You should be worried about his health,
not that he's gonna be a shitty hockey.
That's right.
Not, oh, hey, how's your, how's your back?
How are you feeling?
Oh, I hope you're okay.
How are your edges?
How's your crossover?
If we have people that know what they're doing,
no one will get hurt.
Can you score?
What do we, how much time?
Can I leave you on the ice?
I found out hockey is not yoga.
Going to get out two more times hopefully and then I guess just let her rip in Jasper.
Oh, boy.
I said, I think I'm just going to go in cold.
Rely on the strength of my bench.
He says, I'm with you.
Poor Serge.
All right.
I like how keen he is.
Look at how disappointed he is.
You know these donkeys up in Edmonton.
They can't even talk about the oldest of saying we every sentence.
if they beat us, we're going to hear about this for 20 years.
Oh, who cares?
Well, they do.
We need a strong showing.
They can only hear about if you listen to their BS.
I was going to say they got about 30 people that listen to their shit.
All 30 people will hear that they beat Flames Nation.
That's fair.
That's a good shot.
You know what?
You could stand on the corner on a milk crate and yell at the top of your voice
and hear more, get to more people than they do on their shit.
So, show today we're going to talk about, boy,
You talk about deja vu all over again.
The Flames, game day.
Get your helmet on.
They're in St. Louis to play the Blues tonight.
Yeah, I feel similar.
I'm really honest.
Yeah.
I feel like I felt a little better.
A little bit up still.
Yes.
No change.
Only changes for the Blues.
It appears to be Lavo Inn.
Oh.
And Ozzie Nathan Walker out.
I think he's the Aussie, right?
Hey, Barooby.
Why do you hate Aussies?
Or is he in New Zealand?
Is he Aussie, right?
And then it'll just in that. Grice in and likes to fight guy out.
Thomas Grice, five and five in the season.
Gricey.
9-11, 3.23.
He was in net that debacle here when they beat the flames five to two.
What a shit show.
That was awful.
Yeah. He's coming off a shutout win against Minnesota, I believe, on Sunday.
And much like last game for the Blues, they're coming off a win.
You're saying they beat the flames on Tuesday?
And much like the flames, they're coming off a loss.
In overtime, no less.
by the score of four to three.
Yeah.
How would you feel that took three or four points from the Blues?
Wouldn't you be impressed?
Well, they already lost the first two.
So of the three games that they'll play.
No, in St. Louis, they have four points available.
I have some numbers.
Go get it, fellas.
Go get it.
Would you like it?
Yeah.
I've always loved when you do numbers.
Nothing can go wrong.
The Blues, well, it's just, you just kind of tack another number on from the numbers I throw.
Okay.
So as long as they were right before, you're fine.
They have now won four in a row against Calgary.
They've scored four or more in all four games.
They're 8 and 1 in their last 9 against the flames.
They've won three straight at home against the flames,
outscoring them 14-4,
and are 5-1-1-1 in their last 7 overall against the flames.
They've had their number.
What the flames are due or both, yeah.
Or that, yeah.
I didn't realize.
You didn't mention that four goal mark.
It's been a tough thing for Calgary.
Well, and on the flip side, the blues,
their score and goals in their last 13 games,
they've had three or more in 11 of them.
Flames last nine once they've got to four goals.
If they could get to four in any of those games, they win them all.
That's a decent run in the last nine.
They've played some weaker opponents.
But that fourth goal has been tough for them.
Take the loss and go to Dallas.
Oh, Dallas is not going to be easy.
And I think it's a big game in Sweden.
It's a one in there, a nooner, I think, right?
And I saw Swedish NHL was tweeting out,
So they're excited about Lindholm and, you know, all the other Swedes on the team.
What does it have to do with Sweden?
What is it?
Well, there's a tweet from...
We said Dallas is going to be tough
and it's going to be an early game in Sweden.
It's going to be an early game.
It's televised in Sweden,
which is a big deal in Sweden
because there's so many flames that are Swedes.
Right?
Backland?
I'm not following either.
Okay.
You've completely lost.
It's a big game in Sweden.
This game is huge in Stockholm.
Huge!
Huge.
Huge.
Bing.
Bing, Bing, Bing.
Bing, Bing, Bing.
Bing, Bing.
Billions and billions.
So it's going to be you and me for Afterburner tonight, Bud.
Oh, yeah.
At some point, yep.
It was touching go on Tuesday.
He was leaving the Sabres game as the flames were playing in the second,
and I was wondering how things were going to go.
Same scenario tonight.
Same scenario.
You're going to the Sabres game.
Is that what you said?
No, I have to go downtown, but I won't be going to the game.
So not the same city.
I'll be home.
So.
How'd your pre-in post game go?
For more than one reason, you idiot.
Sorry that I can chew gum and walk at the same time.
I'm teasing you.
How was your pre-and-post game on Tuesday?
How'd go?
We didn't ask it.
You didn't watch?
It was awesome.
I nailed it.
I pulled the Ricky Bobbyos hands in the camera.
Okay.
Right.
So is that a thing now?
Are you, uh...
Listen, just because you overslept, you're a grumpy bat bear.
today like not a grumpy bear i'm just let's get that brain moving are you going to are you now part of the
sabers where's those smelling salt broad are you the corey sarich of buffalo now you drop in for
broadcasts on occasion down there i i was down there because my middle kid played a pregame
game before the sabers and then everybody just hung around for the sabers game right that's how that
the last one worked yeah and then but when i was downstairs
the guy that runs the TV shit, he saw me.
And he's like, hey, why don't you come down and do the pregame one day?
Because it's boring with Marty Barron and stuff.
Sometimes they need to spice it up.
That's what it is.
That's how this thing started.
Hey, why don't you come by?
Fucking guys I work with, they're boring and stuff.
Come on in and, yeah, sure, what the hell.
Okay.
You know what, Alex, I had a photo.
I put it in the Ask Rett area.
Why don't we throw it up now?
we're talking about the Sabres.
Are the crowds still coming?
Because we talked about that big,
fat crowd that came after the snow games
and they were postponed.
Are they still jamming the old rink there in Buffalo?
Wow.
It feels jammed for everyone from here,
because last year at this time,
they were getting about 2,000 people.
Oh, my God, it was bad.
7,000, right?
Like, they're getting,
I'll bet you they've doubled their crowds on average this year.
I think last year the Eichel game was a good crowd.
that might have been it for the whole year.
Yeah, there was a game versus Toronto last year.
Well, that's usually tough ticket.
Yeah.
And it was 7,500 people at the rink.
It was shameful.
5,000 leaf fans.
No good.
Shameful.
Yeah.
So I mean,
they're 50.
Yeah.
I was going to say everybody's talking about Tage Thompson.
It's one of those,
it's pretty rare.
It's been a long time since you've had a Buffalo Sabre who's kind of getting
league-wide notoriety.
Now it's taken 31 goals and 57 points and that whole thing.
but kind of under the radar is Rasmus Dahlin.
Under the rug.
Under the rug, yeah, right under the rug.
46 points in 38 games for the defensemen.
And we wondered, is he, you know, when's this guy going to come around?
Is he going to come around?
We talked to Rob Ray for, it seemed like every year we'd ask him.
What about Dahlene?
I saw this one because I thought maybe you'd appreciate it, one, because you used to wear them.
It's a photo of Dahlene in the throwback, whatever you want to call them.
What do we call those?
The Buffalo Buffalo?
Yeah, the black, silver reds with the buffalo head in the front.
He was asked about wearing the third jerseys.
He says, quote, we feel evil in the jerseys.
I don't know what it is, but we love it.
Yes.
You love hearing that, don't you?
I like it.
I think those jerseys are wicked.
You think of Mero Satan, speaking of evil.
You do.
You definitely do.
I was going to say, who's the first guy you think of Chetan's a good one.
Yeah, especially with evil.
Haschick, I guess, right?
You can't help, but.
I mean, Breer played in those a long time, but yeah, Chetan is really, that's probably the one.
No, Brier played Breyer.
Breer didn't.
He was in those.
The slug, yeah, that's right.
Yeah, the buff of slug was no good.
What about Tim Conley?
There's another Buffalo head.
Tim Conley was there.
Remember, it's interesting how things go, right?
Because they were wearing those things and then they wanted to get back to the original
colors.
Get back to the original blue, yellow, and white.
I like the old McGillney type color when you close your eyes.
So then they went to the buffer slug, as you call it.
And they didn't like that.
Then they wanted to just go back to the originals.
I got to admit, I like the originals.
I got no problem with it.
And I never really cared for these.
But now as I look back on them.
You know what it is?
Not bad.
It's Blasty.
Is it?
It's a better logo, but it's a dark color scheme.
It's black.
And at the time, it was okay.
The team wasn't that good.
Maybe there was certainly better than blasting.
Didn't they add the red embroidery around?
Yeah, this is a tweak.
This is a reverse retro.
It's not just like Blastie's been tweaked a bit too, right?
I think that red striped by the sleeve, me or may not have been there.
And for those of the shoulders look different.
Sorry.
Sorry.
For you is just listening.
That's too bad.
There's a few people that are just listening.
There is a picture on the screen for us.
But the sabres are good.
You better look out.
Like, if they weren't playing in the...
Toughest division in hockey.
Like,
Well, and Washington is like one of the, if not the hottest team in the initial,
one of the hottest teams since I believe, like December 4, December 10, something like that.
Like they've been on an unbelievable heater.
That has moved them into what I think is eighth in the east by points percentage.
And there's a little bit of a gap between the Islanders and then Buffalo.
But it'd be nice to actually have, you know, more than eight teams vying for the playoff spots in that conference.
It's a hot run for Washington.
But Buffalo's been really good of late as well.
I'd love to see them hang around as a bubble team
and make things interesting down the stretch.
And I think in Buffalo, you already love this team.
They bring in some local guys,
like tucks a guy from the area.
It looks like, you know, you could call the Eichl trade a win.
It wasn't a disaster.
Tage Thompson finally pans into well beyond what you ever thought he could be
when you had got him back in the O'Reilly deal.
There's a lot, like they love cousins,
the guy from Northwest Territories, or Yukon, I should say.
Like, this is a team you can get behind.
Dahlene, you mentioned it.
Well, I was going to say.
And the race here, that's going to be a bump and building in the spring.
Go ahead.
And you've got another number one overall pick on the blue line.
Like, yeah, power is maybe not wowing anyone this year, but he's a kid.
And he's going to be a stud.
Yeah, he does a bit everything.
I don't know that he's going to win a de-scoring race,
but he's one of those guys you can just put out for probably 25 a night and not worry.
A headman type player.
A which?
So you get those two, a headman.
Rick Tadman type player.
You guys were...
Yeah, we're talking about the other day
about goals, highest scoring teams,
whatever that was.
I looked just now,
they have five players
at or above a point per game.
And then you start to...
Right? You start to think of the team
that we cover here and how hard it is.
Dylan Cousins, who's what, year two, year three?
He's 39 and 39.
Jeez.
Jeff Skinner, 41 points and 36 games.
Tuck's got 20...
He had his 20th the other night.
45 now.
Boys, been good for that.
46 points for Dahlene and 57 and 39 for Tage Thompson.
They buzz offensively.
They're no good in their own end with coverage and stuff,
but when they get the puck and they're going on the offense,
that is a talented squad.
They're fun to watch.
Yeah, you said it the other day.
You're talking about the flames looking maybe like they're not having a snow day,
under Sutter, that after goals,
it doesn't look like anyone's too thrilled.
And you noted that when the Sabres score,
it's like they've submitted Everest.
I feel like that's a good energy to have in your home building, right?
You score and the place goes bananas,
the players are loving it.
Nuts.
You know, Owen Power, for what it's worth.
Sorry, I was just going to say, 6-6, 220, 20 years old.
He's a half a point per game right now.
He's going to be real good.
He's got 14 and about close to anyway.
I thought he maybe be like that 2, 3 points.
He's got 14 points in 30-some-odd games.
And I don't know what Rochester do, but apparently they have the youngest lineup in the
AHL. Like it's just chock full of young.
Skinners come back to prominence, Rhett? Like they finally.
How isn't that something? I love Skinner because Skinner left Carolina. He was the shits.
We got to get, he had to get out of there. Cause to Buffalo scores. Oh my, we got a huge extension.
He signs that big con. Yeah, huge extension. And they did it. It was a purposeful thing.
And they had Eichel there that needed a guy and they had connected and everyone rips on Skinner.
He's no good.
Now he's in the fourth line.
You expect him to be out of the game.
He's a fat should be getting sent to Rochester.
How do we get rid of this contract?
And now he's a top player.
Yeah.
What a roller coaster.
Well, and I think it was Kruger had him on the fourth line at one point.
You're like, I'm sorry.
It's just you might not like him, but that's only going to make it worse.
Here's the highest scoring team in the league, the Buffalo Sabres, 3.87 goals a game.
More than Boston by a hair.
And then Seattle's third, Oilers' fourth.
But if you'd like another kick in the teeth about how great,
how easy this offense is coming.
I think this is the highest scoring to the halfway point.
Like it ties last year, which set a new record,
4.6 or what like it's...
Yeah, goals are up.
In a lot of towns, the goals are coming in quite easily
or at least plentiful.
Austin Matthews scored 60 last year, I believe.
And I think that was the first time
in a decade. There's three guys on pace. Excuse me, for 60. So no one had done it in 10 years.
And there might be three guys that are going to do it this year after Matthews did it last year.
And here it's wild.
We just get two and then hang on. Can you get to two? And then white, knock all that fucker right to the end. Can we do that?
And so the question will be is, is Darrell preparing this group for what hockey's going to be like in the playoffs or has something changed stylistically?
Is it still going to work, Daryl Hockey?
You got a bit of a flamberger going today, hey?
I don't know why.
It's weird.
It's like I'm not eating vegetables with my wife gone or something like that.
Because all the darts you're smoking when your wife's up.
I haven't had a single darts.
It's a complete waste of time.
I should be hammering menthols.
Too many darts, bud.
So it's a, what, six o'clock start.
Yeah, same, same.
Except the goalie switch and one little change for the loose.
Yeah, that's right.
8 o'clock.
You make that work, eh?
Oh, I can't wait.
Yeah.
Get them down in the basement with his Canada flag.
That's right.
Now, as we record this, we don't have any official word on the goaltending.
But here's, I mean, let's assume that the two guys that played the other night are not playing tonight.
That's what's being reported out of St. Louis.
We talked about it yesterday.
Does it have to be Vlidar?
No.
Do people want?
Yes.
Does it make sense?
Yes.
They don't have a back-to-back for another week.
half. Like if you're waiting to put Vladar in for no back to backs then you're waiting a while you're
waiting for good goal tending and you get a chance tonight with Vladar then a rough go. I mean I keep ignoring
that Islander game because it just felt too easy all they play is tight one goal games and you're like
eh and that was like oh okay but this turn this off but it felt like the anomaly didn't it because they
had yeah they explode what had three early early and then and then held on I don't know I just
just doing more, you sit and we watch every game
and you watch Markstrom make some big saves
and you watch him play.
And I feel like we've seen bad goalies, right?
We've watched bad goalies.
He's not a bad goalie.
But yet they're still getting, really,
they're getting poor slash bad goaltending right now.
It's sub 8, sub-900.
When you're in the 8s, you're, no one's waiting.
You know what's crazy.
League average is 906 this year.
And that is like,
way down from four or five years ago.
It was like 915 was league average.
Like what?
But again, that correlates to all the high scoring, right?
You wonder, all you have are wins and losses in a way.
And I think right now Daryl's getting crushed a little bit.
That happens when you lose hockey games.
Still getting points.
But maybe when you're losing games that you should be winning,
everyone's going to take some heat.
I just wonder if they were getting better goaltending,
what the vibe of this team would be.
Oh, it's totally different.
There'd be more wins.
I don't feel like they're as loose as they have been, right?
I think they're second in the division.
If they've got anything like last year's goaltending, I really do.
I agree with Pinder and I was actually going to say,
we almost have to stop and you just mentioned it, boom,
they're getting points.
Like their record 12 of 15.
As far as putting points, right?
And the standings is pretty damn good.
So we're harping on them.
but you started it out talking about
you know the sabers being excited
and where you don't see that with the flames
well that's because you lose a game like St. Louis
and now you can't enjoy each other
for the next 48 hours.
The other part of it to go back to your hotel
and be pissed off.
Yeah, well, and you talked about that last show
and then also on afterburn on Tuesday,
but I also just think like expectations are a big thing.
You know, like who, what kind of weight
have the sabers had to play with and carry around?
You watch Jonathan Hubert.
It's already a win for them.
Yeah.
And you watch Jonathan Huberto for the first month and half.
And you're like, this guy's got cement shoulder pads.
Like he's trying to justify that contract on every shift.
Everyone picked them to be first or second in this division.
Everyone said, okay, you lost the title of plays, but you might be better in the playoffs.
Like expectations huge.
Daryl's coming off of Jack Adams.
They might be a better, deeper team now.
Like, this is a group trying to justify everything they've heard for six months.
And I think Darrell effed up after the, when he changed those lines early.
Game seven, great.
Yeah.
Coaching.
And those guys were feeling pretty good, I think, about themselves.
What were they?
Five and two?
They had a lead against Stedmonton and the third and that puck popped on the dasher.
And then it was changed the lines.
They would have been six and two if they won that game.
There was no reason to change those lines.
and all of a sudden the squeeze was on,
and they haven't looked happy since.
How many games, and if you were asked this question
at the start of the year,
at the halfway mark,
how many games will Huberdo and Lynn Holmove plate together?
You can count them on one hand right now, can't you?
How many games is...
It might not be 10.
It might not be 10 games.
I would not...
There's a lot we did not see coming,
and we're learning every single game.
but that they would not,
I don't know if they've had time to gel,
but that they haven't gelled
and have really not real.
The coach doesn't seem to want to try it.
The coach,
no.
And maybe Lindholm hates him
because that's what Daryl said,
right?
He wants to play with guys that he likes.
Is that what he said?
What was that?
I said a lot of things this year.
I don't know.
We don't like you.
We work with you every day.
Well,
it's a bell curve, Dean.
It's a bell curve.
You know,
I'm a bit of a Richard from time to time,
but it keeps the show interesting.
No, it's good.
I really believe this is a group still trying to justify.
You know what today is?
Today's Thursday.
And you know what Thursday means at Madrose Pub?
A whole lot.
Daily specials.
We keep talking about Madrose.
You go, you have the pizza and all this.
Now, you go, they got the lunch specials every day.
Lunch specials every day.
But then on top of that, Matt and the folks, they're like,
well, let's give some more incentive to swing by.
Thursday, 25% off any pasta dish.
Oh.
And there's some drink specials.
Can I, I think we're on the internet.
We can say it, right?
Did you just say pasta?
Pasta.
Did you just say pasta?
Okay.
Did you just say drink special?
And then, well, I was going to, the drink, now the drink special,
your bottles of wine are half off.
Oof.
That's a good, good vibes.
Good vibes.
You know what half-price wine does?
brings up the ladies.
And when the ladies are there,
is that what it is?
The boys show up.
That's not from Madrose Pub.
They're not
publishing that at all.
It's not what you're doing.
And I think beyond that,
well,
let me take a look here.
Because I don't know
that you need to have the whole bottle.
I just,
I know who I'm talking to.
Thursday,
they have a drink,
the two-ounce kettle one,
cucumber mint,
grapefruit rosé,
peach, orange blossom,
very fruity.
Nice little cocktail special.
Yeah.
bottles of wine, 50% off, glasses of wine, dollar off, featured points, dollar off.
You driving?
I'm not.
I'm starving, I'll tell you that.
And yeah, and then every day, I just swung by madrose.com is the website.
Lunch specials, Monday to Friday, till two.
Your soup and sandwich, 13 bean.
Two, tapper pizza, 13 bean.
You want a steak sandwich and a side salad, 15 bean.
I do want that.
I also, whether you like it or not, I'm ordering those damn wings that are,
baked to finish.
Just destroyed me.
They were so good.
I'd go today.
I would.
I'd go.
Retro?
Hang on,
because this is what I'll say.
But if I ask him,
okay,
let's go.
I can go today.
You ready to go?
Madrose.
Dot pub.
Now,
those are obviously
dine-in specials.
You're not getting that to go.
Go and screw out and have a good time.
Mad Rose Pub.
We got more Flames games.
Tickets coming up later this month.
Obviously they're on the road.
So it's going to be a while.
15 Royal Vista Place.
15 Royal Vista Place.
I don't have tickets Saturday in Dallas for that big game in Sweden.
Kid friendly Saturday, Sunday and Monday, if you so choose.
So why was that in the front of your mind?
I just saw the tweet when I ran for coffee.
No one else in the world would be thinking,
what time is this game in Sweden?
1022, I ran out to get a coffee because we're out of coffee grounds
at the coffee machine in the coffee kitchen.
And I looked at the Twitter machine.
And Swedish NHL Twitter account was like,
I thought,
Flames. So I was really, okay, what's going on here? And they highlighted all the career games played leaders for the Calgary Flames.
At some level, that's inappropriate.
Orskie Borski. If the Muppets can do it, I can do it.
Could they do that today?
The Swedish chef.
Ying Borsf. Her me, hear me. Could they do that?
But I would laugh. It's okay to laugh. Yeah. It's okay.
Got to laugh at yourself. Got to laugh.
Jasper.
Dot travel
slash January.
I went there this morning.
Just kind of getting
a load of things.
We're going to be in Jasper.
There's the pond hawk.
Have you scouted the rinks?
Can you tell me about the dimensions?
I have not.
No, I've,
trust me.
I've put in as much effort and work for that
as you think I have.
We're going to get absolutely crushed.
Sure.
January 13th to 29th.
13th, that's tomorrow.
So, everything's kind of,
There's always stuff going on.
Right on the 13th tomorrow.
But specifically,
Jasper and January,
you go there,
activities and adventure,
food and drink,
music and entertainment,
featured events.
I'm going to just run through
some of these here for you very quickly.
What's the hop thing with the wine and the...
That's right.
You know what,
that's,
I thought maybe it was a...
Where is it here?
It's a one day,
a one day deal.
You'll enjoy it.
The whiskey wine and hops.
It's the ultimate appra ski.
They have got the
Jasper Inn and sweets.
patio party. Jam night, some live music,
Girls Club at Venophobia,
a fat bike tour with a warm drink.
Get on the fat bike. Fat boy, fat bike.
You should do that. You like riding bikes. I do.
The Poutine Showdown starts tomorrow, runs right through until the 29th.
They have, they've rolled it out. They realize, you know, January,
maybe people are going to be sitting inside, can be doing, no, no, here's reason to come out.
They've got deals on accommodations, food, beverage.
retail experiences.
We talked about Marmot Basin.
It's 50% off basically all season.
Celebrate the lighter side of winter.
Their big festival kicks off starting tomorrow,
runs through the end of the month.
Jasper. Travel slash January.
Check it out for yourself.
And of course, we'll be there for the pond hockey tournament.
We'll be there to lose the pond hockey tournament.
Get a shitty attitude.
There's going to be sparks at this event
because Pinder's going to be way to see.
serious and you're going to do your best to not be serious at all.
If we lose to Oilers Nation, I'm breaking someone's leg.
It's going to go very well.
Full Bobby Clark on Oilers Nation.
If we're going down, they're going with casts.
What was that guy's name from the beer league?
Oh, Tucker.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I'm not going to go that far.
Give it to him.
I'm not going Oggy Ogletor.
No, you won't break his leg then.
You're going to have to do that.
at least to break a guy's life.
Maybe just a sprained ligament.
See, for me, just me and you,
right?
Just you and I have discussion.
Can we do a two shot without Pender?
Just being ret on the old YouTube.
Can we do that?
Just so you're not here.
So I get to go to the mountains
and have some great food,
some great drinks,
and enjoy myself.
And in the process,
irritate the shit out of Pender.
How great is that?
Right?
Yes.
What a weekend.
If you go out of your way to not try, I'm going to be absolutely irate.
You know what's actually going to happen is I will surrender to you.
You're not here.
Get back to the two, the two box.
Okay.
I'm going to milk.
I'm going to milk this thing like you read about.
He's going to be got.
I mean, my skates aren't going to fit.
I'm going to put them on the wrong feet.
I'll have the wrong handed stick.
There, in my mind is a pot.
There's in my mind, there's a possibility that he actually sabotage.
is this, steals your quasi equipment and makes it disappear and has a ringer there
randomly available to take your place.
I mean, God forbid.
That's the level, that's the level of commitment I see from him.
God, if I happen to put one in our own net.
Oh, fuck.
That was that.
Oh, come on goalie.
Fells the fuck.
Friggin goalies.
We already are infighting.
This is bad.
This is, what's a team that infights all the time?
Are we the radio?
C-H-E hockey is the website.
The senators.
The senators, yeah.
C-H-EHockey.com for more information,
register your team today for the Pond Hockey Tournament,
the one that we're going to try our very best to come out, victorious.
Time for the Pinder Report.
Presentation of Village Honda.
They're up at the Northwest Auto Mall, don't you know?
The brand new, 2023 Honda Passport Trail Sport,
kind of right in that sweet spot between the C-R-R-R-E-R-Rour.
and the pilot swing by, give it a spin.
We talked about the CRV hybrid.
You could take it for a road test today.
Very soon, the new Honda Accord is going to be there.
Many, many reasons to stop by Village Honda.
76,603, 110th Ave, Northwest.
They're in the auto mall up there, as a mention.
Or go online, villagejonda.com.
And for Village, it's the Pinder Report.
Watch your inboxes if you're friends of Village.
Get a special event coming up.
All right.
You make it sound creepy.
It's not.
Hey, watch your, uh, hey ladies.
Put on a robe.
We'll have the lines down.
No, it's just cars.
It's cool.
Make sure you check your junk folder because there might be something special in there for you.
You know what?
If I was,
if I had an off day in the Midwest,
I might try to do something little creepy like that.
Not the head coach of the Calgary Flames though, boys.
What did Daryl Seder do?
Yesterday's off day?
Missouri?
Well, according to Snoop Dog, Eric Francis.
Yeah, what's the, uh...
Took the crew to see the Budweiser Clydesdales.
I have further details if you'd like them.
Amazing.
Because you had said the crew, the Budweiser-Clysda.
What it was is a bunch of the staff went to the Anheiser-Busch brewery for a tour.
That's one way of saying you saw the horses, isn't it?
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, that would be, in fairness, for Daryl.
If you were going to go and do that whole thing, that would be what would stand out to him.
Yeah, for sure.
process or any of the bottling or the brewing of the
These vats are huge.
I smell horseshit.
Where are they at?
How often do you feed them?
Got any rain in the forecast?
All right.
Well, let's hope that.
I can stitch up a cow or a horse in like two minutes.
Let's hope that whatever they did at the Budweiser-Busch set up there.
It's got them in better spirits today as they take on the blues.
and, you know, maybe it'll inspire Flames fans to get out and vote for the All-Star game.
Noted Michael Frolek usage expert Alan Walsh on Twitter,
encouraging everyone to vote for Jonathan Eubertoe go to the All-Star game.
Is he good buddies or?
He's his agent.
Oh.
So I don't know if, hmm.
I'd like him to go.
I think it's great if he could.
It's in Miami.
You can go check in on in all the vehicles you can't drive.
here in the winter that he's got in a garage there somewhere.
Yes, exactly.
He sold them.
Didn't he say he sold them?
I don't know.
You need a different set of wheels up here for hockey season
than what you're ripping around and salt beach.
Not a lot of clearance on the Lambo for those snow drifts.
Yeah.
Can you need something with a roof.
It's probably preferred in this climate.
Either way, yeah, go ahead and RT to vote Jonathan Huberto
to the All-Star game.
So is that a shot at Huberto or Alan Walsh?
Well, it's just, if you want to go on Twitter and do stuff,
like get your rep and your client,
but is there any credibility when you tweet this?
Like he's had a miserable half of the year.
I get it's the All-Star game.
He's a star or whatever.
Look, have a great second half, Jonathan.
I think you're wonderful.
Alan, just stay off Twitter.
What time is the All-Star game in Sweden?
Probably just close to prime time.
That might be good wheelhouse.
Skills comp will be right in there.
Huge.
Eubertoe Swedish, isn't it?
Of course, yeah.
Herndy Ferndy, as you said.
And if you want to talk about All-Star Games,
how about this?
The Calgary Rangler is sending Mitch Love
to the game,
Dustin Wolf joining as well,
and Matthew Phillips.
They're going to go.
They're not even going to eat popcorn
to the raft. Just going to play.
Wow.
How about that, hey?
Look at there's the Wolfman.
Oh!
Just win goal of the year.
or whatever league you play in, son.
You're going to, this is a special kid,
again, leading the HL in almost every single
goaltending category.
He'll go represent the Wranglers.
Good for him.
Look at the top there from Bakersfield.
Baker.
Feth.
Seth Griffith.
I'm an author.
Seth Griffith.
It's going to be a stupid of thee in LaValle,
Feth.
A star game.
And yeah, Matthew Phillips is in there as well.
That a boy, Maddie boy.
Yep.
That boy, Bob.
Good stuff.
So there's the.
the representation for the
HL Club.
And our very own,
my goal to be out in LaValle.
I don't know if he's ever been to a strip club.
I don't know that you should be your first in LaValle.
I feel like he should work your way up.
Ask Alex.
Well,
he knows all about those, like,
Gatineau in that area.
I'm just going to say,
in Ottawa, I don't know.
In Gatineau, I would suggest there'd be,
hmm.
Let's go to some NHL news.
You're good pal and social media acquaintance.
Johnny cheese pizza.
Getting his ice time reduced by Brad Larson, who is a coach in the NHL still.
Look at this.
Portsline.
Hey, Brad Larson and I won a gold medal, world juniors.
Really?
Okay.
Former Swift current Bronco captain.
How about that?
I think.
I think we...
You don't know.
Yeah, you don't know.
It's about that era, though.
You're probably right.
We're going to deb that.
Did I play with Tom Barrasso?
Did I play with Bob Essenson?
Instead of, did I play?
A quote from the Blue Jackets,
head coach when asked about their big offseason signing,
there's better in him.
You know what I mean?
How about that?
Gavin Bayruther, he gave up again.
Yeah, the Blue Jackets, we gave up again.
The point, pal.
I, stop picking on Johnny, my pal.
Stop picking on him.
You're talking to Brad Larson?
That's right.
Yeah.
Tell your buddy that you may or may not have met ever
to ease it up on him.
Brad Larson, I felt bad from them from the start because they aren't good.
And he's basically a placeholder for the next guy when they finally turned the corner, right?
Brad Larson is in that spot where he's been there a long time.
They're very young.
Right now, they're just like, very hurt.
We'll let him do this because we're not good.
As soon as we start to get good, we'll upgrade.
That kind of goes, right?
Slide him down the bench, pay them the same, maybe a little bump up.
and then no one will expect us to win.
Except Johnny when he signs there says I'm here to win.
You have to wait a little.
But they're young.
They'll turn the corner.
They draft well.
You should be here.
All right.
Let's go, Pinner.
All right.
We're getting a little sleepy here.
We'll move things forward a little bit.
Well, you're up back to see what happens.
You're back on the YouTube chat.
Yeah.
And then you disconnect and you get tired.
Hey, Rhett.
You ever scored a goal for me?
That's how boring.
That's how boring.
I could walk and chew up at the same time, not the same.
You idiots.
You ever score from the goal line, Red, in the NHL?
I scored from my own end.
You scored from your own end.
Have a little look at what happened in the last few days in the American League.
This is some special stuff.
We want to talk about scoring from your own end.
It's a wonderful little rabbit hole to go down.
I believe it's Bridgeport, Islander's affiliate.
Yeah, that sounds right.
Yeah, here we are.
Bridgeport against Lehigh Valley.
Mark Watt.
Mark Watt.
So there we are.
There's a puck right at the goal line,
rifled down the ice,
and what are you doing in the corner, Mike's not.
Kronner, what are you doing?
Oh, no, do you blow out his knee again?
Getting a dog.
What in the world?
What happened?
So for those you can't see it,
the goalie is way out of the net.
Yeah, I think he went out to play it and then stumbled,
and then here it is.
So he goes to...
Oh, the same night, geez.
So he lays the paddle down.
Oh, on the goal line because it's missing the net.
So he lays the paddle flat and it just goes right straight 90 degrees into his own net.
Because Johnny scored from the goal line against Dallas and game seven,
but that was in the offensive zone.
This is a D zone goal line goal in the American.
On that first shot, I thought maybe it hit a stanchion and then,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm like, why is the goalie out of the net?
I see.
And then that reminds us the Islanders organization, right?
Maybe the greatest goal in NHL history was Islanders' Leafs when Vestatostola was tending the twine.
for the greatest team in the history of sport.
Let's have a watch of this one.
Radick Martinik, look at these names.
I don't know if I recall this one so much.
Goal line.
Slape.
Same spot, down the ice.
Boop!
Oh, yeah.
True.
Oh, Vesatoscela get the hook out.
And get to Calgary.
No, it didn't need to do that, didn't we?
How many games did he play here?
Too many, I'd say.
Look at this thing.
Take a huge left turn.
Turn.
It is hopping.
Oh, wow.
And if you're going to go show two goals from 180 feet,
I mean, what's another from 132 while we're on the topic?
Oh, here.
See?
If you can't go down the rabbit hole without a little, you know,
Battle of Alberta.
You're just setting yourself, oh, who won the game, you dick?
Well, we're just talking about bad goals.
No cares who won the Bridgeport game.
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
He's the only goalie that was mad at other people, though.
He's like,
Why didn't you guys block it?
Block it or get out of the lane?
Come on, guys.
What the hell?
Oh, that's good.
Guys, get out of my way.
Get me back my son.
All right.
So there we are.
That's a nice little rabbit hole.
Goals from over 130 feet.
Next,
we have goaltending news of a better variety.
Freddie Anderson's back.
If Carolina was scary before
with their two and three goalies,
there's the former leaf, the former duck.
Fat boy, we used to think he was chubby in Anaheim.
Good goalie.
Miss 29, he's back tonight against Johnny cheese pizza.
Wish him well, I guess.
That's your thing now, hey?
It's the cheese pizza.
He's very adamant about it.
He wouldn't eat pepperoni.
He's known for it now.
That's right.
He's known for two things.
Playing hockey and not eating pepperoni, just cheese.
Donkey.
You donkey?
Other injury news.
Good news for the Canucks.
Tanner Pearson's suffered a setback in his rehab.
He's done for the year,
which can only help their Connor Bredard chances.
Though you now have a higher percentage of selecting first overall
than they do of making the playoffs by many models,
Pearson, yeah, done for the year.
Midway point of the season was Eclipse last night.
That's half of the thousand plus games in the NHL this season.
Let's take a look at the standings in the West.
Games played are not even.
I've circled Colorado, who are way out of the wildcard by points,
but have only played 39 games.
they would slide into the eight spot.
That's your west.
What do we expect in the second half?
What's going to be different that's not there now?
Colorado's going to be a steam roller here, I think.
Got to get healthy.
Got to get some colds and get right.
There's no way.
Leave that up for us, Alex, there.
That they sit there at the start of the year.
You throw out,
is Seattle really going to be?
I'm kind of buying in.
I think I'm more bought in on Seattle than I am L.A.
I am too.
L.A.'s got that differential up to zero.
now, even, and Phoenix Coplay has been the Knight in Shining Armor there that rode in on his
white horse. I don't know how long that lasts before it goes, poof. Be like a Johann Headberg for
Alex, you have a sense? Right, yeah. It'd be Hamburg. Only one of two teams is going to make the playoffs,
and it will either be Colorado or Calgary, and I think it will be Calgary. Colorado is not
making the playoffs. That's your eight right there.
Oilers are getting in.
You look, they took care of business last night
against a bad ducks team,
but the easiest team to score in the league
made it look easy.
So really, retro.
Tell me why.
Is it the hangover?
Too many hurt injuries?
Hangover, they're beat up.
I don't think they improved their,
well, not often do you improve your team,
but they, in my opinion,
took quite a few steps back with the roster,
their lineup.
Gorgiev hasn't exactly carried them all the way they hoped.
No.
Cadry.
I think it's
Land of Scogs still out.
It's going to be a tough go.
Yeah.
I think they'll get in.
But yeah, I would say
LA, you're on notice.
Calgary, Edmonton, you're on notice.
Yeah, so who's out?
If you had to pick today,
and we won't hold you to it,
but if you had to.
I just,
I would love to see the Oilers miss
because it's like,
it would be,
if you like chaos,
nothing would be more chaotic
in an off season than McDavid
going 150 plus points and missing.
But I just feel like
there's,
They still, they can't.
There's too much offensive power there to miss.
I could be wrong.
Much I want them to miss, I don't see.
Yeah.
I think LA, they've got a nice bulge right now,
but at least cushion over the wildcard teams,
but I don't think Phoenix Copplay is a good starter on a playoff team.
And Johnlin Quicks had a tough year.
Cal Peterson's lost it entirely.
What was I reading this morning?
Copley, 12 and 2 in his last 14 starts.
And right, so it happens.
But is it, are we betting that it lasts?
Yeah.
What's the bell curve tell you?
I don't know what the bell curve tells.
Come on, Red.
I think he's due for regression to the norm.
Okay, NFL, Super Wild Card weekend coming up.
Hope you're ready, Rhett.
Two games Saturday, three game Sunday, one game Monday.
You'll probably, might even go to one of these games.
Probably maybe.
Go to the damn game, would you?
Let's look at the slate.
Let's look at the slate.
We'll start Saturday.
We have charges at the top because those are my boys.
It is the first playoff game for Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert.
All right.
You guys are you young superstar quarterbacks?
Prove it.
We'll see.
Chargers favored by two and a half there.
Seahawks and Niners.
Seahawks have lost to the Niners twice this year.
We'll see if Nick Purdy can beat them.
Nine and a half points favored.
Brock.
Thank you.
Nick Brock.
Big Cock Brock.
Hmm.
That's how you remember it.
I won't call him Nick anymore.
Miami at Buffalo 13 points.
Is it Skyler Thompson against Josh Allen?
I'm telling you.
I think DeMar is going to be there, Rhett.
You're going to want to be there.
What happened to Teddy two gloves?
Because it was...
Teddy two, uh, Pinky.
Two or two, maybe two could play.
Oh, then it'll be Bridgewater.
Oh, no, now it's...
I think it's a throw in hand.
Toast, baby.
Giants snuck their way in.
Vikings, it's a big game.
It isn't technically in prime time.
Which Kirk cousins do we get?
Or Kurt.
Kirk, Kurt, Kirk.
Kirk, Kirk.
Kirk.
Kirk.
I don't dislike the Vikings, like some people.
I don't know, but why do I want them to lose this game?
Because it fits that big game narrative for cousins.
Yeah, maybe.
I like, because what was it, the old Bill's coordinator?
Is it DeBole that's there running the team?
Table, yeah.
He's turned them around nicely.
And Danny Dimes is starting to look like, okay, maybe that was a good selection.
Sure for Sequin.
It's been dinged up for most of the last two years.
It doesn't look like Lamar Jackson will be ready to go for Baltimore.
They haven't ruled him out.
He's listed as quote.
Who cares?
He's terrible.
Well, and so here's the thing.
Get him out.
Here's the thing.
The conversation all off season was it's the last year of his contract.
He's a free agent.
He wants fully guaranteed schmillion billion, gazillion, top paid quarterback.
And it looked like he was going to get it.
He's now missed something like 18 practices in a row.
It's been almost two months since he's played a game.
Has he played his last game?
He was the shits before he started being hurt.
He's doing it on purpose, probably faking it because he was so terrible all years.
Screw it, my fantasy.
Sorry, Lamar.
It's not your...
It's not Lamar's fault.
He's faking it.
He's upset.
That's why he's a free agent
and he wants to have a bad year.
He's faking injury.
I think there's a very good chance.
That's it.
And you know what it'll be?
Well, how much money did he cost himself?
And the answer will be zero because how many shit quarterbacks have we seen in the last six weeks in this league?
The guy can still win football games by himself.
He will get absolutely paid.
Yes.
Cincinnati favored by over a touchdown there.
And then the Monday night or America's,
team against
Tom Brady
Dayton 26 year old
American's boy
Mark's Dame Merrick's boy
I don't know how to feel
about that one
It's a good slate
I like it a lot
because I got screwed
by Brady this year
in my fantasy
so I've been down on him all year
and I feel like he's won enough
and I don't hate the cowboys
so many people hate the Cowboys
I don't hate the Cowboys
Every year people talk like their contenders
and they want a playoff game
for ages
they're one of those teams
that the longer they stay in, it kind of keeps things interesting.
Even if you don't, you're not, they're not your team.
I do like a collapse though as a favorite in the wildcard round.
That's still fun too.
Tom gets to go on.
Like anyone who moves on here, it's good for the league.
It's either the greatest player of all time or this huge bandwagon team that always is overhyped.
I like this light.
Very happy with it.
Hey, Rhett, if it's Kansas City and Buffalo for the AFC championship, where's the game played?
Atlanta.
Thank you.
There it is.
From Adam Schafter earlier today,
they're going to Hotlanta.
You can go to Magic City, Dean.
Hot Atlanta, let's go.
And I will be there.
Sacramento.
Red at a party.
If anyone wants to go to
Atlanta and hang out with Rhett
and watch the bills
beat up on the Chiefs,
let me know.
What if it's me,
direct message me?
Are you busy then?
Not know how to see it.
Yeah, send Red a DM.
He'll never see it.
Yeah.
Even if he does, if you do connect by way of text or email, he still will not find.
Yeah, send him an email.
Like, can you guys explain to the Wolverine that I don't check email and it's not on my phone?
So if he needs me to call him, he's going to have to find a better way to communicate.
Yeah, send me an email.
And if I check my emails this month, I'll know that you're coming to Atlanta.
I don't have email on my phone.
You're the only guy in the goddamn globe that doesn't have email on your phone.
He doesn't need to?
It seems to be working, doesn't it?
It's working great for them.
upset by it.
But here's the thing.
Think of where you might be if you answered.
You could be on a golden shit or in Peru or something.
I could be in, I could have done hours of meetings,
online meetings and teams events.
It would have been great.
That could be the head coach the sameers me.
You'd answer that email.
No, no, you're sitting in a kitchen in a fucking Buffalo.
You've got the world by the horns, pal.
Yeah.
Living in a 500 square foot
Living the dream.
My,
whatever, I'm not,
no,
come on.
My fat cat kids,
yeah,
they're like,
this place is a dump.
This is good for them.
You want a good one?
My kid graduating high school this year,
if he passes,
has an exam today,
one of his finals this morning.
He's all in a,
big flap. I need a dictionary. I need a dictionary. Would you guys know where to go to get a
dictionary in your house? Do you have one in your home? I'd go to grandma and grandpa's. They got a
dictionary for sure. Retro view, do you have a dictionary? No. I own a phone. That's right,
which you can't. I said it's on your phone while we can't have phones. No. Hmm.
Letting kids bring phones into exams. So thankfully mom, who knows,
things about where things are found a dictionary from 1984 I am I'm sure it's all still
relevant it updates itself kind of like you know your operating system on your computer
just overnight while you're asleep it updates itself it's a Wikipedia it's got
little cheap teachers why don't they allow the kids to have a phone what the hell's the
difference they can have a dictionary but not the phone because Rhett would be they're not
Artificial intelligence, his essays with a phone in his hand.
That's why.
You don't have email on your phone, do you?
So what? You're just working a job.
You'll be able to do it.
What difference does it make?
This isn't a job application, Red.
It's an examination.
I agree with Red, by the way.
Speaking of Canadians, going to the United States of America, how exciting that could be.
How about Nathan Rourke, the BC Lions?
Twelve teams he visited.
Sounds like there's some deals on the table.
Lions are offering 600 grand Canadian.
This is a waste of air.
You are going to be so excited
when a Canadian is backing up Josh Allen next year
and you can go hammer, pints of them
and show them the Stinger Sub
and teach them all to eat wings,
30 of them in 10 seconds.
Why don't you care?
He's a Canadian quarterback.
You don't want to cheer for a Canadian kid?
You could go to the NFL as quarterback?
You weren't excited for Chuba?
That's how much I care.
I don't even have a...
What are you talking?
talking about he's going to go to cleveland get made fun of it if he makes it in cleave now get out of
here quit wasting my time it's ask gret let's go all right one question for ask ret here we go it's uh
has to do with a survey that americans answered i saw on the internet so it has to be true right dean
yeah that's right didn't it wasn't in the dictionary because it was an old dictionary but i
looked on the phone and here's what i saw on my phone it said americans uh there's a significant
percentage of them that believe if it was them versus a lion they would survive and win so
Rhett, you've been in Buffalo for a while.
Are you part of the 92% or the 8%?
No, I'm 92%.
That thing would just beat the piss out of me.
Well, first of all, I'd crap my pants and die of a heart attack
if I was close to one.
So I wouldn't even, I'm not fighting back to begin with.
I've been watching those line attacks on the YouTube's
and all the Instagram stuff.
And, ooh, you don't piss around.
What are they calling them?
like the king of the jungle or wherever it is.
They don't live in jungles.
It's weird to call you.
They got your guts ripped out before you're dead.
And just by one of these.
Zink.
Oh, my intestines are on the ground.
Yeah, I know.
They're walking behind an animal that they've gutted.
And the animal's guts are they're trying to walk away.
And the lion's just red.
Oh, hey, there's my World Junior Gold.
And some of those videos.
I swallowed it.
Whoops.
They'll be at a, people would be at a zoo.
or whatever and they'll be behind the glass and some little kid is like hey he and the thing
lunges at the kid and bangs off the glass kid doesn't sleep for a month like he's dean wolberg god
all right i just you know americans are confident that's great wonderful that's a pin report
for village honda it's brought to you by village honda as you mentioned uh protect your vehicle
for all the from all the harsh elements of winter they've got the detailing packages starting at
under 79.95.
I've had my vehicle detailed there before.
Highly recommend.
I need to. Highly recommend.
How often do you need to wash your vehicle?
Because I think they use salt down here too.
They don't use salt there.
That's no good.
Yeah, that's no good.
There you go.
Why is it no good?
Because it russes the bottom of your car.
Yeah, it deteriorates the...
Look at the roads.
Okay, well, at least I'm not sliding into a meridian.
Yeah, no, I think what it is,
is you decide, are we going to replace windshields or the bottom of cars?
Because it's either gravel or salt, right?
That's kind of the, you go to Eastern Canada.
You see a lot more salt.
Doesn't get us cold.
Wash it off for Jesus, people.
That's what I was just going to ask.
Don't I have to,
how often do I got to wash this thing?
I feel like he's ready for ask right.
He's primed right.
Well, before that,
I'm going to,
because I figure,
this would be a good kind of a segue in.
I want to mention and bring up our buddy Greg at Bon Tonne,
meat market.
You were there the other day.
You showed the photo.
You were outside.
So you got the,
you got the potato salad.
Did you do the delivery in the whole thing?
Did you get a report back?
Are you full of shit?
You just had to leave.
People heard some very, very high praise
for the potato salad because they're fans of this program
and these wonderful people,
these community pillars, really.
I delivered said potato salad.
And expectations were high.
They weren't sure if it was going to be able to live up
and just out of the park Grand Slam,
I get it.
Like, I never thought potato salad could be this good.
So Greg is all over us right now.
No, this is, because,
coming up on January 25th.
It's Robbie Burns Day.
And on Robbie Burns Day, it is tradition.
You have whiskey,
Hagas, Neeps, and Tatties.
It's what I'm told.
This is haggis.
Now, if this is your thing,
if you are of Scottish descent,
or you enjoy or you celebrate Robbie Burns,
and you do that whole thing,
up at Bontan Meats,
they are making it from scratch.
Now, it's,
if it's your thing,
they are making,
they are making,
You may as well, why buy it out of a package where it's like process,
get it from a place like Bontan Meat Market where they make it in-house and it's all quality ingredients.
You do it okay with it?
Minced heart, lungs and liver mixed with oatmeal, onions, suet, seasoning and spices,
and then boiled in an animal's stomach.
Is it a sheep's stomach?
I built something, yeah, they didn't really.
Goat.
So if you are looking for some delicious haggis fresh for your Robbie Burns celebration coming up in the 25th, place your order at Bontan meat market.
Now, I don't know if Rhett's privy to the conversations that Dean and Greg and myself have had, but Greg has offered to bring in haggis on Robbie Burns Day.
Isn't that wonderful, Rhett?
These guys are scared shit.
A couple.
So you'll do the whiskey and tatties, but maybe not.
Yeah, I did that once in Chicago.
So I was like, Hagus, neaps and tatties.
And he said, I've seen nice, not nips.
No, no, neaps, turnips, and tannies are potatoes.
So, bontan meats, they, we're telling you, they do it all.
You think, oh, let's go get some stakes.
If you've not been, you need to go and see it because it is, it's a celebration.
I'm happy to eat Hague us on the show because I'm not a coward, Dean.
Good for you.
Thank you.
I know it would make our client really happy.
Dean'll do it.
No, he won't.
There's absolutely no chance he'll do it.
Minced lungs and liver?
Christ, how?
Listen, no, thank you to Greg and Bontan Meets.
Segway.
How hard up would you have to be?
Like, at what point do you look at the fucking animal and say, you know what?
You've given enough.
Well, what do we got left?
Well, we got the liver, a chunk of liver and its lungs and brain hanging around.
and some of the stomach,
chop her up and throw her in there,
I'll eat it.
Like, enough, you're done.
I feel like,
I feel like back in a day,
the liver was one of the first things
that they grabbed for.
That's one of those.
The,
the orcas,
the orcas hunting the great whites,
they beat them up and then eat their liver.
Oh, delicious.
They beat on a move,
yeah,
fucking body shots.
I get what you're saying,
but I feel like you've ignored
staples of your own diet.
If,
and you have an audit.
and the same way you've audited Haggis.
Like if someone told you Haggis was just this delicious dish from Scotland
and you didn't know what was in it,
I think you would like it.
Just like, you know, you eat a hot dog and you don't want to know what's in it.
Well, I tend to ask or at least kind of inquire,
what am I eating before I eat it?
So you've never had a, what are we having for dinner tonight?
A hot dog at the ballpark thing?
I'm having chicken or what have you.
I just, I'm very fortunate.
I'm at a point in my life where I don't need to eat brains, lungs,
and goat's stomach.
But anuses and eyeballs are still good to go.
It's a choice I make.
Okay.
Just wondering where we draw these lines.
That's all.
Lucky he feels arbitrary.
Position in life.
I can make these decisions, Ryan.
You can.
Yeah.
Have you had it, Pinder?
No, I'm excited to try it.
I've heard it's wonderful.
No, he's not.
He's being a bucket tipper.
You haven't heard it's wonderful.
No one says it.
No one's...
Scottish people do?
I would love to try it.
Well, they're crazy.
It's because they've had all the whiskey first.
And tatties.
This is great.
Those big tatties in your face, you'll do anything.
These neaps are incredible.
Holy moly, never seen neeps like this.
They got a stack of smarties.
Now we need to let this breathe before we bring in the next sponsor.
Because you can't go from that nonsense.
Straight to Hope Street rental property management.

Hopestreet.com.
It's Thursday, which means it's time for AskRet.
We've got some time here.
Hey!
Now you can email...
That's...
AskRet.
at flamesnation.ca.
Hey, Rhett, what is the appropriate battery percentage
where you can then take your wife's phone off the charger
and put yours on?
Ooh.
I'm not one of those idiots that doesn't realize
that the battery on a phone diminishes,
the more you use it.
So when I go to bed at night and have no need for my device,
I plug the effing thing in.
like any normal, well-thought-out person with any rational type of thinking would do,
as opposed to, oh, shit, the day's just starting and my phone's dead.
Like, I don't have to steal my wife's charger.
I charge it at night when it's not on.
So get rid of the problem.
So he doesn't get email on his phone.
I think this is a very concerted effort for us to not spend a lot of time on his phone,
which is noble.
I think that's wonderful.
Takes a lot of energy.
But most people watching the show, like, I don't like 99% don't operate in that universe.
And they need to recharge your phone at some point in the day.
It does screw your day up, though.
Do it at night when you're not on your phone, you idiots.
That's what I just told you.
I told you the formula for success.
And it's not a difficult concept.
Like a charger plug, like one of those outlet things.
Salt problem.
You plug it in there right by your bed.
At night.
Right by your bed there.
And when you go to bed, plug her in.
What does it sound like?
She'll be ready to go next day.
See, and some people say that you're just an idea guy.
Yeah.
There's some action.
There's some solutions.
I never thought about plugging it at night.
Like, while you're sleeping.
Although, like, wow.
Yeah.
Also shut the Wi-Fi off.
There's a live.
There you go.
Right there.
That's all you need to do.
Every night when you go to bed, it should look like that.
Make sure the Wi-Fi.
What about the people who aren't watching right now?
What about the people who aren't watching right now?
They won't know what you're talking.
talking about. I feel badly for the people who are just listening. Thank you, Alice. They'll never
know what to do. So you're saying, plug it in at night while you're sleeping. Got it. Yeah.
Hey, Rhett. If you could time travel, where would you go? So do you want to go back in time and
see how it used to be? Or draft year, Rhett, maybe teach myself a little thing or two.
I only get one. Let's make it one. Let's say one. Where would you go? Are you going to go in the
future and see how i can't go into the future because you don't want to
once you do that then the quantum all that you screw everything up because if you
change things right i thought that was the past you go the past the changes then maybe
remember because michael j fox's parents were disappeared in the photo yeah he was going to bang her
that was close mom don't bang your mom don't bang your mom you know what you guys i'm happy
be how am i going to improve my life i'm happy being where i am i don't need to go what are you
Do you.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Kitchen and Buffalo.
How can you talk?
You got to go forward and find some weird medical thing from the future.
You're always into the next cutting age, weird science, pseudo-doctor stuff.
Fix those shoulders.
Come on.
Dude, if he went into the future, he'd see, he'd look for himself and he'd see something,
be like, oh, my God, how did I get there?
And then he'd come back and be like, how do I keep from that?
He'd be worse than he is now.
No, I got to eat better.
Is it because I'm eating?
What am I breathing?
What am I drinking?
Is it because I'm driving?
I got to, you would change your whole life.
I got shit.
There's no way I'd be focused on my shoulders.
I'm a bigger thinker than that.
Yeah, okay.
You can chase world peace?
Yeah.
Want to meet someone?
I wonder if I could go back and then steal somebody's idea.
And maybe Onok.
So what'll happen is you go to this website and then the goods will show up at your doorstep.
What?
Come on.
Hey, Rett.
I'm dying to know what the Rettsters.
thinks of the latest trend of fans singing after the puck drops and the music stops i can't stand
hearing thousands of people still singing take me home country roads when the damn play has been going on for
10 seconds it's cringe to me that's from jim well jim you're grumpy bastard we should get along but
you're so negative it's hard to who cares if this first of all i don't know what this trend you're talking
about is i don't pay much attention i haven't heard this is an action is an action
trend.
But I'll be damned if you're going to take the enjoyment out of the rink.
Someone wants to clap and scream, make noise, give her.
More noise the better.
Do the wave.
You like doing the wave?
Do the wave.
Any time of game.
Yeah.
Especially if the team's down or it's tight.
Get up.
Celebrate that.
I think it's what second or third TV time out at the dome.
They'd go to the sing-along songs, whether that's like.
They do friends in low places.
Prisle places.
Wasn't it, what was it?
What was it?
Like Blinket 182 or something was in Colorado.
It is kind of neat.
Here's the thing.
Go ahead,
you've got to have good
in-game entertainment though, right?
Like if it's the Kiss Me Cam,
get it.
Get it out of here.
I feel like if the Cowboys girls are near red,
he'd like the Kiss Cam a little more.
See, this is a thing. This is,
this is a Warner backpack. There's not many in there.
Well, there's a few, but it's not as, you know,
he doesn't take them up because going back,
game 6 in 04,
tight game, third period,
cups in the building, they can win,
and they did the kiss cam on the Jumbotron instead of playing some like Metallica to get the crowd fired up.
Third period.
Oh, win the cup if you score.
Cups in the, it's,
so they did the kiss cam.
It doesn't mean the kiss cam is bad.
It's bad time for the kiss cam.
It was in and the kiss cam cost them in 04.
Hey, Rat.
99 either.
Do you remember during the lockout when you were playing for that men's no contact league?
I can't remember the name of the team, but they had the happy face with the bullet hole in the forehead with blood dripping down.
I refereed that game.
And when you took a slap shot from the point, the goalie couldn't get out of the way fast enough.
It hit him.
I asked him how it felt.
He said, next time, I'm getting out of the way.
Lawl.
Law.
That's, I don't even think that's me.
I think that was Regear.
That sounds like Regear.
I can see Regear wanting to play.
I haven't taken a slap shot in 40 years.
I'm 46 years old.
40 years, wow.
And there's not a goalie on the planet that's scared of my slap shot.
I remember, I heard that story about Regear, that it was a beer league thing,
and some guy was going to be Harvey Tryhard and try and rub him out and stuff.
And then, it doesn't go well.
I'm going to lay into one right here and wired a slapper.
Set the tone.
Yeah.
It was Lady Bing after that, very gentlemanly conduct.
not a lot of okay i think he's made his point fellas yeah let's give him some space out there so now
we have a video here soft touch look at that soft touch we have a video here this is a this is a
a princy classic he he's like i've found this i've been looking for this video
look at that still that's it's so wow he's like i need to know just kind of the the context of
the game and then perhaps what happened post game was there maybe some some some
celebratory some good times to be had by all.
You go back to the beginning here.
You automatically, you know which one we're talking about.
You can tell already.
2-1 Nashville.
2-1 Nashville.
Under 4 to play.
Rebound scores.
There's Connie.
A little backdoor.
Conroy. Juice is there.
Conroy backdoor, a little tap in.
It's out the dome.
Offensive face off.
We're in overtime.
Three and a half.
Oh.
Nice coverage, Dubon.
Stefan Yalla is there, but there is there.
but there is Red Warner right at the top of the crease.
Fired up.
Look at Shea Weber, just skating back to the bench and defeat.
What were you doing at the top of the crease?
That was red.
I thought there was two there because yellow was there,
but he was on the other side.
He was on the other side.
That's your,
that's your buddy right there.
That was the one where Tony Amonte,
Jimmy Playfair put me out there,
and Tony Amonti was screaming from the bench.
Get him off!
Why are we putting him out there?
Hello?
Like he was giving him shes.
Jimmy shit as I'm skating out there.
Puck drops and a brilliant read by me.
So I've told this before.
I line up against J.P. Dumont,
who I played with in Buffalo.
Yeah.
And I've talked to him about this.
And he was like,
when I lined up against you that game in overtime,
he was like,
this is perfect.
I'm going to sprint.
Like he told the centerman,
get the puck going forward.
I'm going to beat Warner down the ice.
I'll have a breakaway or a two on one at worst.
This is going to be great.
Well,
watch a lot of the direct.
Yeah.
Soft touch.
A little tip.
A little tiff.
Now,
did it go straight in or did you kind of
tap in your own rebound there?
It went.
No,
no,
it went through them.
It went through them.
So did you all push it in?
Did it across the line before you all got there?
So your check leaves you.
Tip.
It's shocking awe.
It's Red Warner.
What?
44 44 44 44 looking on the scorecard the funny thing is it's how fast your brain works
when that puck was coming to me i honestly thought maybe i should take this pass and go go out wide
and go back door and then it was like what are you thinking about you idiot just put it on that
you donkey
Where is a ginnla?
It's not even on the ice.
Is that Roger?
It was an aginla-like touch for sure.
All for you.
Right?
Find that soft, hey, find the soft spot in the ice retro.
Get lost behind the coverage.
A little redirect.
Then tap her in.
And the sally face.
Selly face is epic.
Like this is, look at these.
I've never seen a fist pump like,
that in his life. Yeah.
That's because I was getting shit talked on the way out there.
I love it. Tony Amonti.
What are you doing, put him on?
Suck it, Tony.
Now would Amante have made that play?
Young Amonte, no doubt.
Amonte in Calgary.
No, I don't know.
Round of a top cheese.
No, he'd have been, you know what?
He'd have done.
He'd have tried doing that.
I'm going to pull it to the back hand and try and slide it along the ice.
And the guy would have made a save.
And then J.P. Dumot would be on a breakaway.
I need score.
Yeah, the goal he realized that it was to be out there too.
So he played it softer, thought that I didn't have it in me.
And I proved everybody wrong.
I look happy about it.
Beer's on red after that one.
I would imagine.
I would imagine that, yeah, there was shots, cold pints.
Yeah.
Lots of party.
That actually, that, the game sheet is actually in my gym.

Do we feel it, how do we have a gut feel?
How do we feel about this game tonight?
Six o'clock start, flames blows.
Someone told me they felt four three overtime loss.
It'd be tough to really get into debate about it
because we've seen the goddamn times.
It was like,
but they best be better.
They were very good at times.
That's, I don't,
they don't have to be that much better.
They need to flip and save.
Yeah.
And not even a difficult save.
Like, they win that game.
If Markstrom doesn't throw one right in a slot on a rebound.
On a bad angle shot.
They outplayed the blues.
Blues are beat up.
They should beat them.
It should be a 4-1 victory.
Oh, full panic mode if they lose this one tomorrow, right?
It's not lost in all of them.
of it, but between
they had a 3-1 lead
going into the third period.
And it wasn't close in the second.
Like it was like,
it should be 4-1 or 5-1.
Like this has been very one-sided.
So we feel very confident then tonight.
No.
But we should.
But no, because they can't close it out.
How can you feel confident?
They're going to close it out.
I don't want to spend the rest of this road trip being miserable.
Oh, boy.
After the game tonight, Retro and I will do
after burner, it'll be available on YouTube,
and of course for download for your ride in tomorrow,
wherever it is that you're riding to.
Get the audio, pump it through your Bluetooth on your car stereo.
However you listen to it, get in your ear holes,
do whatever you got to do,
but it'll be fresh and ready for you in the morning.
Or if you wake up at 2 a.m.
and you can't get back to sleep,
it'll be up by then.
It's probably up by 11, I'd think, tonight.
When you're laying in bed,
wondering what they're doing with your life,
you can have boomer and retro in your ears while you do it.
wondering where you'd find a dictionary that's right have a great great rest of your thursday retro

how to the guest we got the uh the buffalo cup this weekend so there's it's a huge tournament like
my my 13 year old division i think there's like 30 teams here playing is it like almost like
an S-O minor here, but bigger?
Like out-of-town teams?
It's like, it would be that big,
but they're all from out-of-town, like from Dallas, Scottsdale.
You got teams from Detroit, you got California,
all over the country.
That is the big difference there.
It's like if the top teams travel,
here it's like staying city.
It'll be tough for you.
You'll be,
