And wheels up on a Friday, which is Hawaiian shirt day. So, you know, if you want, you can wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans. If you'd like. If you'd like. The Hawaiian shirt, sunglasses, and then the toque. Is that a juxtaposition? Is that what the... The hair is a nightmare.

I don't know what to do with it. I can't make it good. Cut it off, you idiot. Fucking disaster. You're not talking into the mic is part of it. It's horrible. We're here in the tower. Chrysler Studios Tower Chrysler we mentioned it earlier this week getting a little love not just from us

Are you that bad? I was on the main floor of my home. I was on the main floor of my home.

And I was like, oh, it must be about three. I should get to bed because usually I get home and then I like find something to eat. You know, browse the internet, things like that. And my phone said 7.10 a.m. What? Not good. I don't know where those four hours went in the middle. but we're here

you're an embarrassment to drunks all right I had some bad fungus last night guys do it right if you're gonna do it do it right And the thing is, this is, it's December. Is it the second today? It's a rough month. I mean, we're two days in and you're already banged up on day one.

I'm Christmas party, though. I'm done with Christmas parties already. Two weeks ago, he said he was done for three weeks and he hasn't stopped for a day. I had a Caesar at lunch that day when I said I wasn't going to drink for a week. Fuck. Oh, and, and. And I'm not sure. we'll touch on where you are right now.

Can you smell them from Pennsylvania? Because holy Christ, it's really something. You're getting drunk off the fumes? What were you drinking, you cheap bastard? Three drinks and you just can't stop yourself, hey? No, it wasn't the drinks. The drinks weren't bad.

I don't know. It was weird. Shots are a problem. Shots, stop doing shots. Don't do shots. Stop buying me shots. That's a drink. Anyone watching a show, don't.

buy me a shot stop it i don't order shots yet i drink shots all right stop ordering me shots that's how you that's how he justifies things he goes no i only had eight beer oh yeah but what about the shot well the shots aren't i had about ten shots completely different two double margaritas before the hockey game and then only a couple beers there and then shots of duttons and then the christmas party we're going to have to crack a window in here i know it's not great for audio quality but we may need to crack what a window i'm sorry And what's interesting is Today is Friday

Was it two days ago or three days ago Let's take a little Because we even have early evening video evidence Cuckeball Tuesday This is Tuesday We got talking about Ping pong on the show And then it was like I can beat anybody at this

And left hand is yep So then it was like okay well Then let's go to Greta Greta Bar They've got all the video games And pinball and all of this sort of thing. So it's a, yeah.

This chick just absolutely trained me by like 100 points. I think she plays with the Mavericks. Yeah. It's not fair. So there you go. I just swing by Greta on a random Tuesday, and Pinder will be in there. It's Kachuk ball. Come on. It's not a Tuesday.

Not hitting basketball. One of the top five home games of the year, obviously. Just like the Habs last night. I love your reasoning. I just, I love it. If there's a power rankings, the Kach Bowl, Johnny coming back, Habs, Leaves, Oilers games.

That's it. Those are all the games you need to go to. You don't go to any others. You're fine. Well, Saturday Capitals, Ovi's in town. It's the only Ovecgan visit. And then I'm helping build the rink. So I got a drink.

That's a big deal. I realize there's not a lot of work done there. It's a lot of drinking beer in a room talking to buddies about hockey. Yeah. I can get into that. Well, and you were at the game last night. Yes, I was. So it was what? Because Montreal?

Oh, Montreal. It's game of the year. The only game of the year and has to feel, I know, because we've talked about scoring chances and shooting percentage and all that. My kind of thing has been, I don't feel like they've been goaltended yet this year. I feel like there's been nights in the past where you pointed at the other teams, goalie, stealing one, but I didn't feel like we'd seen that. That hadn't been Christopher Gibson yet this year, had they? I feel like they got Jake Allen last night. It's exactly the words of a hab fan. and at Dutton's last night.

They got Jake Allen. Jake Allen by Jake Allen last night. He was... He's the best at it. He was splendid, 45 saves. And I seem to recall with St. Louis, he came in and did something similar. I think he's played the flames fairly well. So how much of it is bear down and how much of it is unbelievable goaltending?

Retro. He's on the chat. Yeah, he's not going to... I was chatting. What? What's unbelievable? Can you do the show? Is that okay?

Don't you start with me. I was here right on time and you idiots couldn't pull your S together. It's been a half hour. I've been waiting for this. Um, to get off the ground. Did they get Jake Allen or do they have to bear down or both? That's, I was actually going back on the YouTube's because all the, there's a very widely varied opinions on that.

A lot of people on the YouTube's, uh, it was Alan. He was unbelievable. He was great. The other half, no. They didn't even get in front of them. It was easy. Outside shots. No pressure.

Easy saves. We'll dig into it. It doesn't help your cause when this is how the game starts. They've got the blasty jerseys on as you look at the clock and we can let it roll five seconds in. And it's a weird play here as Monaghan pokes the puck and it's in your net. Markstrom comes out. seeing Tanner Pearson Vancouver vibes 2.0 as he comes sliding out. The reverse angle is beautiful.

He's like sliding to the blue line when the puck goes in. It's like, what are you doing? This is not where you belong. What is he doing here, Red? This is some Mike Smith vibes. He's wound up. Does he need to come out of the net here? Nope.

Of course it isn't. If you are coming out of the net, get the puck. or is it a penalty? Was he worried about it's a penalty? No, it's exactly that. If you make the choice to go all in, you got to get it. Yeah.

No. And I don't know how the D breaks down that quickly. It's 13 seconds in, and it's in the back of their net. Sips out. There's plenty to be pissed off about. And I was watching this, and I'm like, you know who's going to get it the worst?

Bender, I'll give you a guess. Who's going to get it the worst? Like, after that, goal not mark not markstrom a d not a player not a player mike smith's going to get the worst are they doing jason jason le barbara oh dear you're right sutz is going to go into that office in between the first and second and rip his head off the hell's your guy doing going goalie ready to effing play what in that yeah it's going on here like barbs has an earpiece telling him to do this come on It is good.

What is your guy doing? That's what it would be. You should have him ready to play. Maybe he's a little wound up. Job. Now, you know it's true. It's all could have avoided if you started for our. That's right.

You play your back. Now, here is what Markstra. And you lose, they played very well. They probably deserved a better fate. We'll talk about the scoring chances. But with the goaltending in mind, here is, and take a listen to it, because this ain't good.

as we hear from Markstrom post game. Well, I thought the guys had a great job, and, you know, once again, I got to be better. I suck right now, so I got to step up, and, you know, we're playing good hockey and not letting many scoring chances in, but, you know, we can't start behind every game. Do you take us through what happened on that opening? No, I thought, I think everybody saw what happened, and, you know, it's not a good play. What was it with Josh Anderson on that play? Nothing really.

I just suck at hockey right now. Stop. Stop. Stop. You cannot play hockey the way this team and the way he looks. They are not having this much fun. Just none. They're having zero fun going to the rink. They're taking everything.

They're paid to take it seriously. He can say what he wants on the interview. But this team, does it look like a jovial bunch? No. Are they enjoying the season? Are they going to the rink excited to play? Are they absolutely stressed to the, I don't even know what you're stressed to. The max.

My pants. They're stressed. They're whatever. Like, but honestly, this is not look like a fun. The team that's having any fun, zero. I don't think they have all year. You know who they need? They had fun.

They had fun at the Halloween party. And then they shit the bed. Now they're never having fun again. It's the no fun. They're done. They need the Rettster. That's the problem. They need the Rettster.

I mean, they could use an Oliver Shillington, sure, but they really need the Rettster is what they need. The save or goal or the Rettster. All available. All available. Now that said, if they get anything from the scoring chances that they had, Tofoli had seven shots on net. Backland had five. Backland should have had two.

The one where he kind of double clutched it at the side of the net, he still had time. There was all kinds of room up in the top corner of that net. And then that three-on-one, it's a great pass-back door. That probably has, it should go in. So I'm not saying you're wrong or whatever about the fun. You played, I can't relate to it. But they still could have no fun and easily win that game last night.

Let's hear from Daryl because he was talking about the need to bear down the guys that you wanted the puck on their stick. They had the puck on their stick. Here's Sutter. You guys did have a lot of good chances too. I mean, is part of it that just check out. You know, the guys that had the good chances are the guys that need to finish right. They're the, if you look at it, they're your top guys that had a lot of good, a lot of good looks tonight.

I mean, the goal we scored was an empty net goal, good play budget. You know, Lindy gives them a little poke and then Jonathan makes a good play. There was several opportunities that was just player and goalie, so finish the deal. do. Breakaway for Coleman, who looks ice cold right now. I thought he made a good move, too. I like that fake shot and move. Alan was just really good.

Like, sometimes you tip your cap. You can be like, finish your chances, but like there's a guy that makes a million freaking dollars at the other end. He drives a nice car too. No? I guess. Like, it's a nice move.

I thought he would have scored there. But like Alan was great. He should hang onto it longer and went around them. That's what I would have done. Well, I also like to watch all the same. saves and then say what I would do differently. No, like, of course, like, they got Jake Allen.

You said it. Here's the, well, but here's the problem is that, again, we're getting deep into the season and we keep having to say the same things. They aren't terrible. They're not out of the game. They could have won, but they didn't win. They're 500 still. I was going to say, if this was last year's team that was performing at a higher clip and

they get Jake Allen, you shrug it off. That's not what's happening. Eight games over, yeah. This is. And you don't have. And you don't have a goaltender come out and have a quote like that. And if he is having a quote like that, it's almost with a smirk and a smile.

Okay. So with that in mind, is this absolutely Vladar Saturday? Or is it like build up his confidence put Markstrom right back in? Like, where are you out on the goalies, right? No clue. You might have to put Markstrom back in after those comments. I don't like that. You have to put Markstrom back in.

I disagree. I understand that sentiment. But like, do you want to win the game or do you want to boost up the confidence of your guy? Both. And you're not going to boost it with him on the bench. You can't let him come out and say those things. And then let him sit and stew on it. And then you don't play him.

It's like, yeah, you do suck. That is a confirmation of you do suck if he doesn't start this next game. He's got to go in. And what kind of issues do you run into if Vlad Argos and starts, plays the lights out, then you can't. You have to play him again. Oh, shoot. You got a goalie playing well.

This is. I'd play Vladar. This is a short-term thing, and Marks'rums a vet. He's not a 22-year-old Carter heart that's broken emotionally. He's going to be fine. He just has to get through this. Well, that's my take. I mean, I'm not saying this is the fact.

I'm saying this is my vote. I'm not saying you're wrong. This is one of those things where you go either way. Vladar goes in and he plays lights out and he plays the next 50 games and he's a as of, I mean, anything could happen. I don't even, yeah, I'm thinking. Markham could also go in and get lit up. What is there?

Three games left on the homestand? That's kind of the bite size I'm looking at. Like, 50s. Marksher might be the best goal in the league in a month, but like right now he's fighting it. So go with the guy that gets you a win. You need wins right now. Boy, it's, we've seen soft goals.

Yep, a lot this year from him. Early goals, soft goals. First shots. Yes. And some of them, I haven't been soft of their first shots. That's, that's tough. and he came from an environment in Vancouver where he got shelled. That was a shitty decor in front of him for most of his time in Vancouver.

You've got to feel the puck a ton. And I'm not trying to make excuses, but I'm saying this isn't that. This is the very opposite. Like the first goal against the Islanders on the road was 10 minutes in. They're not. Same effing team. Flipping Vancouver has any influence on this shit. No, this isn't the same team as last year.

Look at them defensively. They're totally different than last year. You're saying the flames are too tight defensively and not letting him feel the puck enough? No, I'm saying first shot. going in has been an issue, but some of them have been 10 minute mark. I'm not now. I'm having a hard time. No, it's a fact.

Like, we can, they allowed like something. You're drunk. Shut up. Through 10 minutes of those games on the road trip, the first 10 minutes against New Jersey, the Islanders in Boston, they had like three shots against. Yes, those went in, but you're, you're saying because he's not, they're playing so well and they're not letting him see shots until the 10 minutes. I just saying they're playing well.

No one said they're playing well. That's what's what's good. No. Okay. I'm just saying soft goals and first shots are an issue. We can agree on that? We can move on. Yes.

Yes, we can agree on that. And there's no answer to this conundrum. There's no answer to this. Get ready, Pender. There's no answer to this because goaltenders are. Focus, Pocus, gole. If you're not watching on YouTube, you're missing out. You really are.

Although it was less enthusiastic today. That's the hungover voodoo master right there. I'm totally we can't say voodoo, so I'm trying to upset. What? Is that a bad thing? Apparently. Canceled. Well, I mean, I don't know if it is or not.

What's wrong with that? Do you have to research it? I don't know. I don't want to bother. Apparently, it's a religion or something, so people are offended if you use it in their own vein. Well, oh, God. Well, be offended. I don't care.

Okay. Fire away. I thought that's why we came on here. To offend people? I don't worry about that stuff anymore. Good at that. Yes. So Vladar or Markstrom, in theory, are going to start on Saturday against

the capitals. One of the two for sure. The next chance for you to win tickets to go and see a flames match at the dome is Monday. Arizona is in town. Who knows who? If you want to hammer the panic button, lose to Arizona

I'm in a beautiful Pittsburgh PA. Lovely town. People like Pittsburgh. I'll tell you. Not that lovely, actually. My kids, we were driving to the rink this morning, and we're driving along the river, and he's like, why are all the trees dead?

You're getting a pig. If you win that one, you're getting a pig, we'll talk about it. But here is, there it is. A 50 pounder. But here's the new one that we jump in with today. It's our swing hard experience. You like golf. We'll get a load of this.

Grip and ribbit. Three hours of sweet time at launch pad heritage point. This thing, it's, I was, we talked about it about a month ago. Buddy mine says, well, we'll go out to have some lunch. Where do you want to go? Oh, you go to launch pad. What the hell are you?

Hope Street property management and Mercado coming together. Big shout out to those two. If you want to go and see, because I think we're up to nine now,

nine experiences up for grabs for the auction, all of the money going to the closer to home and adopt a family. We're going to get some families taken care of for Christmas. So there you see it. Nationgear.ca is the website. Go to the Flames Nation drop down. You'll see the donation page. And this is the auction page.

So there's the launch pad and Mercado Hope Street. Greg with the Bon Ton Pig there. The Barnburner experience, Cody Snyder, Bull Bust, and the team, 25 tickets to a Flames game from ATB Financial, the top shelf experience from ATB Financial, stampeters, home opener, jerseys, field access, all of that, cavalry FC, go to a practice and have lunch and meet and greet with the team.

What else am I missing? Oh, and there's the Barnburner when you come and see the studio and hang with us for a minute. People are hammered. Look at the number of. I know. That's going to hit a thousand. No, so what?

So what do we got on there? We're 12 days. 12 more days. We're going to spin that money over to a closer to home and hopefully take care of some families. The other way you can help out is with a donation. So there you see it. Flamesnation.com. You'll see the drop-down menu at the top of the web page.

The guys that sell street burger said, what if for everybody that donates more than $10, we'll hook them up with a free burger? that would be great. So if you do 10 or more, you're getting a free burger. Love it. In addition to that, our buddy Justin from Vina Nova jewelry, he says, I'd like to do something. What can I do?

I don't know. What can you? What if I gave a couple watches? That'd be great. From a jewelry store? Those are going to be nice? If you donate more than $25, you will also be entered into a draw.

There's going to be two, one for a men's watch, one for a women's watch. And he knows that I have, that I'm not very classy. Because he says there, he tells me what kind of watches they are. It's pronounced Tiso. Oh, not Tysot. Tissot watches. Mercygo, Bo Coupes.

Tiso watches his. I'm out of Manitoba. Yeah, I know, right? Oh, dear. Gem by Carity. He has a couple of places. This is his, uh, his jewelry spot. The other one is the lab-grown diamond spot.

So there you go. You don't know, yeah. Two more draws there. Lots of incentive to get on board. 15th of December is about, because we've got to give time for closer to home to get the gift cards and then get the gift cards to the family.

So I'm liking the way this is going. Thanks for everybody who is supported. I know the donations have been torn in. Bids are coming and all of this. Go ahead. Can I jump in? Is it at all possible to pull up the whole, the list of nine things that we're doing?

Okay. So we can go to the... Because one of the things I've noticed, and I'm shocked that you didn't do it for the Mercado one, is that you've thrown yourselves into the mix on most of these. And I'm not sure that's a selling feature for some of it. If I'm going to launch pad, now I've got to go with Pinder. Like, oh.

I'll go to a different suite. How about you just... If you need me to leave, I'll leave. Just tell me. Just let me take someone I like. That would be better. So I think you should make... that negotiable.

You're not wrong. But I'll tell you what I'll be doing. We're flexible. I am bidding on that Mercado New Year's Eve deal. I am. The one you're not in, you're going to bid on. I am bidding on that sucker.

Because if I can go and have some tag and Bisteka before going to the game, sign me up. So good. So good. Can't say enough, man. We kind of started kicking ideas around it. It all started with Nikki at Tower Chrysler, because they did it with their group a year ago.

go and we were kind of and then you know what it was it was Greg from Bonton he said I heard Nikki and Tower what they were doing how many families did they uh well I want to get involved we should we should do something it's like you're right we should do something we wanted to do something Christmas related this is this is awesome so to all of our sponsors and all the people who have come on board with this can't thank you enough looking forward to having a big check in about 12 days I feel like this is a big club show and the people that love this show, God bless you. Like, we, we, we can't do this for free and we couldn't do it without the people

that love us. But, like, now is our chance to give back to people in need this time of year. This is huge. And our boys always come through, and I'm looking at the totals already. Like, this is going to be very substantial. And tip of the cap to you, boom, for spearheading this thing. Let's do our Betway bets. Now, like we talked about it yesterday, because the Bills, Buffalo Bills, the Rets team is

one for one. regardless of the result of last night's game between the bills and New England Patriots, he was taking the Buffalo Bills. As last week had the bills, they lost on Thanksgiving. Could have changed it, but he kept it. Look at that. This week, the same strategy pays off. The bills were a three and a half point favorite in New England.

They do cruise to a victory. Congrats. You're already one for three retro. I mean, no big what pay. It's Buffalo. Just taking Buffalo is easy. Tell us about. You were watching it.

Everyone was worried that there was some injuries and stuff. But the bills are good. They finally got a week of practice. Now they get 10 days off. Everyone forgot the bills had the snowstorm and practice like two days and two weeks. Yeah. And they struggled a little bit and they had some injuries. We're back on track.

Look out. Yeah, they got the mini-buy and they announced Vaughn Miller's on IR. So he'll miss at least the next four games. But get him right for the playoffs. Right? walk us through your other two picks here for sunday wait before that i got to tell you if you're in the states and the bills are playing and you happen to be a bills fan

most cities have a bills backer bar and you must attend you must attend you should have seen the skids that were at this all done it up in their bills gear it was unbelievable it was wonderful so if you feel like if you're a Bill's fan and you're traveling the States and they happen to be playing. Look up a Bill's backer bar and you're going to be very happy.

Well, Rhett, you're going to take some video for us. Can we throw to that right now? Boom, did you get that in? Did you submit the pictures that Rhett sent in? Because we were very excited. Yeah, you're on the road. You're going to be in Pittsburgh and going out to Bar. Bill's a plan.

And what? Well, we're waiting for your video. Just send it up. So roll your video. I sent some. I tweeted it. I tweeted it out. Let's go to your bets.

What other games? Thanks for that. If we're in the States and we're a Bills fan, we'll go to a Bills bar. That's very applicable. So beyond that, what about the other two games as we go back to Rett's picks for Betway? I was driving the kid to the game this morning, and there was a sports show on. We were scanning the radio, and I heard that the bears were playing and the Lions were playing. So there's my picks.

The Lions are a half-point underdog at home to Jacksonville. They've been playing well. So is Jacksonville. Jacksonville, that's an intriguing matchup. And Chicago is hosting Green Bay, Bears getting three and a half points. Is Aaron Rogers playing? Is his Fields playing?

Do we know enough about this game? I don't know. I've picked up love in my league. That's got me concerned about what's happening. Rogers loves beating the Bears. He does? He's biting that division pretty handily until this year. So there's Rets picks.

We can throw mine up here, Tud's sweet. I'm on the other side of that Green Bay game. I am going to take the Packers minus three and a half. I've got the Titans on the road in Philly. I like the Eagles, but it's four and a half points, and I feel like the Titans are a pretty good football team.

Defensively. Yeah. So I'm going to just, I'm taking those points, and the Giants are so beat up and hurt, and I feel like the commanders are feeling it right now. They are. Minus one and a half.

I mean, it's a getting, I don't know, favorite on the road, Washington, but I'm going to take it. Commanders minus one and a half. I'm with you.

I got the commanders as well. as one of my three picks. And they're feeling right now. Like we, you talk about this long season and it's like it's ebbs and flows, but like they're hot right now. They beat Philly.

You kidding me? Yeah, they can go into New York where there's some problems and take care of business. I also like Pittsburgh at Atlanta, two bad teams. I just think the Steelers are a little bit better. Look at that.

You don't have to lay anything at all. They win, they win. You win. And the Broncos, it's just too big of a number for Baltimore right now. They've been really, really me. you'd know with Lamar Red. They're just, when are you going to blow someone out?

Yeah, they are meh. Yeah. And Russell. They'll score 20, 21 points. Beloved by his teammates. They're going to come through for, hmm. How many million left on that deal?

All of it. Yeah, quarter bill. God. I think they're only on the hook for 160, but it's also the picks. And that's going to be a really good pick. Two firsts? Two.

Yeah. Top five for sure right now, if not top three pick. Ouch. Good deal. Anyway, let's ride. There you go. I'm cooking with the rest. Barf.

At your bet way bets of the day, we'll revisit on Monday and see just how smart we are. So smart. Want you to, we're going to do the Pinder Report. I wonder about this one because Drinky strolled in here. Not good today. And sat down as you, I got some stuff for the PIN report. Prency, do we have anything about the Flames game from last night? And Prency's like, God, yes.

Yes, Ryan. You know what the beauty was? Actually, I was proactive yesterday. Do you have that first goal where Marks drove coast sliding out? Yes. Yeah. Did you guys see the game?

There was this one goal that was not really good. Could you find it? That goal went in early, right? I was at the game, but, you know, I was at Dutties. Not yet, no. Having shots. For Village, Honda.

Yep. Come and experience the all new redesign, 2023 Honda CRV at Village Honda, your dealership for life in the Northwest Automol. It is the Pinder Report. All right, we started the Flames Fellows. Very emotional, Sean Monaghan. So a little dusty, little misty there.

At media conference yesterday, let's have a listen. Real nice of you. It's just classy. Yeah, no, just thank you. I mean, supported me from day one. Came in 18 years old. And, yeah, it's a. special place and really enjoyed retirement.

The quiverent lepkin. He's a good boy. He was a good guy. He was. And you know what? I don't think fans and us as media members got to see Sean. Like he's very composed with the media. He doesn't talk a lot.

We always make fun of the like deadpan monotonic thing. But teammates love him. And they said like he doesn't. speak often, but when he does, you're usually like rolling on the floor laughing. He's a funny guy. Nine years a long time. Yeah. A lot of big goals. What do you say yesterday? Third, all-time game winners for the franchise? That's what you said. That's what you said. Confirmed. That's right. Third, all-time game winners. Michael Backland had this to say about Monty, back of the dome. Because they were teammates,

both centers, they wouldn't play together, but they're in the same team and the locker and they're going to say, yeah. Thanks. he got first backs. Looks good, eh? It's got a nice hair. That's sweet, is it? Always nice hair. It's tight.

Yeah. Oh, I really enjoy play with him. There you go. That's good, though. Yeah, but then I said something, it's just usually hilarious and really sarcastic. You know, he's just fine that way. Yeah, he was a great team, middle over the years.

And, yeah, I really enjoy play with him. And so it's the Sean Monaghan loving. But hang on. Halt the presses, boys. maybe Monahan isn't going to play. It's walking in a boot. What? He's got his foot in a boot?

A boot? I'm coming out of the boot. It ends up playing. But yeah, love the tweet. There's Ryan Leslie giving you the scoop. And then someone I don't know saying, Monofoot, can we call it monofoot?

He's got a boot. I liked it. I don't know. It's not fun. If I had a shovel, I'd hit you with it. Thank you. Then we get to the game.

You know, who was amped up and ready to go, not Jacob Markstrom, but Rasmus Anderson, who was singing along in warm-off. Why do I love this so much? For those on the podcast, it's the pregame they had it on Sportsnet.

Rasmus Anderson singing along with to the warm-up. It's grooven. He is groveen. And who is that? Do we know what? Kate Bush. Huh? Kate Bush.

Careful. All right, well, let's get to the festivities. What a great start for Jacob Markstrom. I've never seen someone slide so far out of their own net. Like, this has got to be close to world record. Remember in Mexico City, they set the long jump record because it was like, you're at altitude and the guy went like, oh my gosh, wow, what a leap. Pinder, you've done it at kids practice when they get Superman warmups.

They love it. Hey, slide, Superman. Let's see, Marky Superman. We got a Marky Superman here. This is early, very early in the contest. I don't feel like you want to get down one-nothing, you know. It was very Yakopov-flurry-esque. Yes.

As far as distance traveled. But rather than scoring the goal, he allowed the goal. That is how that ended up anyway. Monty was central. Yeah. One nothing bad guys, first 10 seconds in, and the post game was not pretty from Jacob Markstrom. I just suck at hockey right now,

which is the only thing he does for a living. I know he's probably got a financial advisor and he's going to be fine, but... Maybe delivers flyers on the weekend. If he has to pick up a paper route or a charge, try to play golf for a living. Like, this might be tough. The only thing he gets paid to do is play hockey

and he sucks at it right now. I hated delivering flowers. It sucked. Is that your first job? The dumpster, right? That's enough. Yeah, I dropped them all off. Yeah.

In the dumpster. Blame it on bomber? Yeah. I still don't know what happens. This angle's beautiful. Look how far he gets us. There's a slide. Kik-ka!

Yeah, top of the circle. Fresh ice, too. What's that fresh ice? Look how far is. Wow. He should have just kept going right to the bench and down the hall. Just a big high five for disco Dan Vladar and say, go get them, buddy.

Hey, Vladdy, grab your shit. Command start, gone. Get your lightsaber. I'm out of here. Call Kron. Tell him we need the e-bug. I'm out. I'm ordering a wheel to my house right now, guys.

It's going to be there. They're in 10. I got a fly. So yeah, we've got that to unpack for the next few days. Who they start next. We've talked about it. It would make sense that Dan Vladar is the best goalie they have at this moment. No one's going to be offended by that. But you also don't want a guy to say he sucks at hockey and then stew over that for a week.

So interesting decisions loom ahead for a team that's 500. It's not good. I mean, it's great if they're Montreal or Arizona or the ducks. but if you're a team that was like, you know, 12 to 1 to win the cup, not good to be 500. Nah, nah, no, no, no. Other NHL, let's go overtime. The most exciting team in pro sports,

the Seattle Cracken, crack a creak. Oh, look at this, they're just starting O.T. We get to watch the whole thing. I have a seat, get a drink, guys. Here we go. This will take a while. Oh, hang on. Never mind.

Oh, seven. Why didn't the goalie come out and slide? What's he doing? You're not going to be Marks during with that kind of effort. He got above the circle. Do you know they went 10-1-1-1 in November? Well, hang on. I got a better staff than 10-1-1-1.

Guess so they've done their last 13 games. 11-1-1. Well, there you go. I knew it was seven straight. Pretty tidy from our buddy, the golden muzzle. So are you as convinced that this is a team that's going to be just easy-peasy for the flames to catch in the division? I don't think so easy, easy, peasy.

I mean, the way the flames are going, nothing's going to be easy, peasy, but I just, they feel like a wild card club, and this is fun and great, but people are going to stop using their backups and things like that and press a little harder. It felt like the free square on the bingo card

for a while with Seattle, and they're not that anymore, so teams will adjust accordingly. You're nuts. Last year, you's had them in the playoffs this year. I did, and you know what? They had the worst goal tending in the last 15 years in the league by a lot of measures.

like historically atrocious. They give Philip Grubauer a, what, six times six? Huge deal. He's awful. And now they're not even getting great goals, but just like leave average goaltending. And look at the goal. I was going to say,

so do they go from historically bad to 11, 1, and 1 in 13 because of who's in net for them? No. And that's the thing. It's like they didn't need elite goaltending. They just needed some. They got none last year. I would say they're playing much better this year.

Oh, of course there. Murkowski helps. Like, yes, not going to fight you on that at all. Really? I like to fight, but I'm going to work for the next thing. I'm so tired. Yeah. I've got Bennington Dick Cheese written down in the rundown.

What do we have for that, fellas? Let me check. Can we roll Bennington Dick Cheese, please? Actually, I'd rather not roll his. Harm's way in here is a hit of the night. Oh. Sorry, contact sport, Jordan. that's your fault.

What are you doing? What are you doing? Everyone likes to hate this guy. And I'm part of that. Feels like a bit of a dish. He initiates contact on that. Yeah, trying to be a hero here. Look at me.

Stalls are thick boys. Look out. Retrie. Did the blues go after Stahl then? Bennington. What do you mean? They're probably cheering them on. And by the way,

If the Olympics were tomorrow, he's probably on the team. That's how atrocious Canadian net mining is right now. Don't want to scare anyone. Bobby Lou will come back. Yeah, that's right. You only need six hours to warm up his hips. Marty Broder could still play. Marty probably could actually.

Stephen Stamcoast did something no one's ever done for the lightning before. A thousand points. Seen Stephen? Seen stammer? They have for a thousand points. He's having a monster year, by the way, guys. that guys don't score thousands all the time on teams? With one team, yeah.

It's pretty good. We talk about Cooch, we talk about Headman, Calvary Boy, Braden Point. There's a lot of studs there, but quietly, relatively speaking, some monster production the last couple years after a really shitty run of injuries. Lost that Olympics to an injury.

In the bubble, he played one shift, and they won the cup. Good to see him healthy. He's legit, man. Scored a goal on that shift. He did, yes. And then proceeded to go back to the bench and not play for the rest of the bubble. That's good flex, right?

Yeah, well, you only played one shift. One for one. Scored. And, hey, guys, if he gave me 20 shifts, I'd have 20 goals. Like, I can only score once a shift. They blow the whistle. My Stanley Cup ring are plug my ear. Exactly.

And finally, guys, on the out of other NHL teams horizon here. right. A good pal of ours a soldier that fought for this city he's back in the NHL. Forever aflame. Let's take a peek. Who is it? Austin Freak and Sarnock coming back up, baby. Really? There is! Ha!

Detroit. You stay close to Philip Aaronick. Everything he touches turns to gold. Austin, just do that. Lovely fellow. Another chance there. Zarn dog. He's a wee little man that Austin is a wee little man. you can shoot it. NFL, bills, bills, bills. How did this turn into a touchdown rat? Because I didn't see this game and you did.

All I see are defenders and Josh Allen. Where's that ball going and how is it a touchdown? That's playground football right there. My boy, Josh Allen's having some fun on the field. Zipping it around. And if you're listening on the podcast, the image is him with someone around his ankle trying to tackle him. Four defenders.

Gabe Dave is right in behind. He's very stealthy there. Yeah, Gabe Davis is, where's Waldo, hiding somewhere there and somehow catches the ball despite, what would it be, eight other hands in there from the other team? I'm not good at math. That's true. Stay away from that. Speaking of bad goals, Jake Markstrom, take a seat

because it's time for Milan-Borien for Team Canada at the World Cup. This was yesterday. We didn't have the visuals. I can't show this, can we? Awful. Don't want to do it. Don't know. The substitute's but a Tiba Hutchinson is.

He's going to get assassinated. All right. Well, FIFA can come after me. Oh, yeah, just give it to the other team. He slid out, he slid out beyond the top of the circle, just like Marks them. I don't know how you play in Serbia, but that doesn't work in the World Cup, bud. Good night. Last time he'll play for Canada. Suarez is out.

Uruguay gets stunned. They miss advancing. South Korea. A late goal eliminates them. And here's the look at the World Cup bracket. it, boys, this is what's left. We've got some great matchups in the knockout round coming up. All but Group H sorted out, which is ongoing in moments here, if not right now.

Let's see. You know, what good is that? Because that's what I'm most focused on Group H. Are you? Once they get Dean, they'll take over the world. It's the only guy they're missing. It's a good matchups there. All right.

That's your Pinter Report. Pinter Report. A presentation of Anthony, the Dutch. The Dutch. The Dutch. And Village Honda. The Orange. your one-stop automotive destination in Calgary.

What is it, John? Honda.com. Village Honda, a lot better than Milan-Borian yesterday. Yeah. Well, we got a couple things we need to do. Burian's rich.

You made a bet on that. It's reaping the rule. You think that's what it is? Yeah. A couple things we need to, some big news, some breaking news. In a way,

sad news. As meetings went on this week, high-level meetings. with our friends at South Street Burger. Conference calls, Zoom calls. Are we in trouble? South Street Burger has decided to end the swear jar. Today is the final day of the swear jar.

I asked if it was because we were swearing too much. They kind of kicked it around for a little bit. It felt like a no comment. So they're ending the swear jar, and we said we were donating every time we'd swear there'd be money going in. They are ready to cut the check. Kids sport going to be the beneficiary.

We were going to get like a couple hundred, it's 250. Where were we going to be at? We have the total. I think they, maybe they rounded down. I don't know. But kids sport get ready

because Brian and Braden and everybody at Sell Streetburg are going to be cutting you a check for $500. It's a lot of cursing boys. Because of our saucy, saucy language. Mostly Rhett, really, when you think about it. Yeah. You guys have been belligerent and using

unnecessary language, actually. Mostly just quoting Rett when he was a player from things he'd say in the room. But, you know, Rhett didn't swear a ton himself. It's more the stories of what he used to say that we were regurgitating. And then we could build with a swear when it was Rett that said it.

You make no sense today. Thank you. What they are going to be continuing, though, is the free skates. month of December. Next Thursday, December 8th, the following Thursday, December 15th, Max Bell, from 530 to 630, free family skates. You can go check those out. And then, I don't know how they did it. You talk about having connections. December 23rd, you'd think this guy would have other things to be doing. What? Skate with Santa. Sell Street Burger, New York fries. Look at that.

Oh, boy. At Erdry at the Genesis rank. Three till eight, Santa's going to be there, prizes, giveaways, and the big man. You can brag to your buddies in Buffalo at the place you used to live. Santa's going to go skate with kids there. Anywhere in the world it could be, Chos Calgary. Thank you, Sell Street. Good guys doing good things and kids' sport. Good burgers.

Getting a nice big check. Are you searching for that gift for the person who's hard to buy for on your Christmas list? I have anxiety about it, Dean, because I always screw this up. Nationgear.ca, Flames Nation, we have some new gear that has gone up

and it's been circulating on social media and we thought we have a platform. We should probably show it to you. Jonathan Hubert O is heating up. He's turned the corner, looked good again last night. Probably could have two or three points if the flames found a way to hit the back of the net. Two points against his old team now that night?

A Flames fan or a Jonathan Huberdow fan, you can have yourself some Hubie Mania. Hubie Mania is running wild. Let me tell you something, brother. Paul Horndorf, something like that. Hubie Mania shirts. our limited edition. There's not a bunch of these. Brother. Brother. Brother. Brother. Mature. Mature. Matured. Hubey Mania shirts. Get them while they're available. Very limited. And I dig them.

If you're looking for a gift for your brother. Right. Be perfect, wouldn't it? There you go. Get those HueyMedia shirts. Nationgear.ca on the Flames Nation page. And we got one more week on this particular YouTube channel. We're going to be getting off the nation network and going to our own Flames Nation YouTube channel. I'm not going to be here. So start to get your subscription done. Get on that. And smile and Rob Kerr, hey? And maybe even a different start time.

I mean, there's a lot of things going on. There's a lot of moving parts. A lot of moving parts. Are we going to move from 1030 to 11? Because I felt like we did that today. Yeah. Well, let's do it anyway.

Again, for you, for you, too, if you're, if you're a podcast listener and you download the podcast at some point during. your day. It's the same as always. Yeah. Like there's more than just the YouTube's, but those people are pissed at you. Pissed at me. Rett's in the chat, Rhett update us. Were people pissed at boom? You're the one that's drunk. It's your fault.

I was ready on time. I was here at like 7.30 this morning. I threw it all at both of your feet, so I mean both of you are in the hit list. And it is weird because, boy, if I had to put money down as to who would have slowed it while Rett's in Pittsburgh and he's got to be sitting up his care. Yeah. He's ready. It was Trinky McDrinkerson.

Say goodbye to everybody. Oilers Nation every day coming up. I need some water. Oilers suck. See you, buddies.
