Hello, buddies. Boom! Happy Halloween and welcome to a very spooky edition of Barnburner here, Flamesnation.com. It's Boomer, it's Pinder, it's Warner. I was just going to say, no one gets into the spirit more than us here at Barnburner. We may be adults, but we love Halloween. We sure do, Dean. Love it.

Get up for it every year. It feels like one of us is put more into this. than the rest of the group. Well, Rhett's always been keen on Halloween, so, you know, don't take it personally, Dean. Not everyone could keep up with this. Lampshade. And you, Pinder, have basically just grabbed

a prop from the background. He's a ball player. I'm a Calgary Canon. I'm the least of the group that likes Halloween. I don't like Halloween. What are you? Drew Carey? that was good

that was good it was really good jacks I got jacked Cleveland rocks hey Dean well coming up on the show today we will

have the Pinder report as well what's on the menu for DoorDash and some Betway bets you guys seriously didn't do anything

I'm a lampshade. What do you want? Don't kid yourself. You found something on the floor and put it on and that's what I did. Okay. You went out and put some pot. I think I just have this kicking around? Yes.

I do believe you do. I think you sit on your front porch every year for the last eight years wearing that around a fire pit. True or false. Can't see anything. Completely false. Yeah, you struggle with sight as it is. Well, you can see it's, you kind of lose your peripheral on this thing.

Yeah, you look like that dog from yesterday. Ah, well, here we are Halloween. Tomorrow, November. Ugh. And we're in it. Yeah. Tomorrow. November the worst month.

January you talked about with Black Monday, Dark Monday, whatever that is. It's even colder and darker and you have more debt. So I would yield to. Yeah, but we're going to Scottsdale this year. We've got to solve. People feel free to solve January. with us. That's dealt with. I feel like November's the shits. It depends. You're not quite into it though, right? If you like Christmas, you're starting

to round into that form. You're probably thinking about gifts and trees and stuff like that. Americans still have Thanksgiving down here. So you're nowhere near Christmas. Like, I would think for, for the Americans, you've got to love November. Yeah, because it's not that cold yet, either. I'm not talking for the dumb Americans. I'm talking for the dumb Canadians. Like, it's a, like, the weather's hitting, like it's... Yeah, it's very getting cold quite often and it's getting very dark, but also you get that outdoor rink going. Looking forward to that, Dean.

Yeah, yeah, really looking forward to it. Also, looking forward to more flames hockey. Oh, yeah, there's only, what, my might count 73 games live. We've only been a, what, a couple home games so far? Like, let's go. Yeah, yeah, let's go. We were going to be positive today. Retro, you said yesterday,

bring some positivity. Enough talking down and being all poopy, poopy pants. Let's have some positive wives. Positive wives. Have we brought anything today for, no, I think you've misconstrued what I said.

I said other people should be bringing up. Oh, I see. Positive. What are you got here? I'm a lampshade, so I need a light. I turn light on. Look at his prop,

Dean. He's so good. Yeah, it's good to have props. If half the bottle was gone and you were, and you were drunk with a lampshade in your head, then I'd be happy. There's altogether too much Crown Royal sitting in that bottle now.

Yeah, what is up with that? Franks was diminishing. I was going to text that out yesterday. I noticed that Franks continues to. Yeah, it looked like you maybe needed just a quick schnapp, just over the shoulder, grab and take a pole and move on from there. After the red eye home, you need one of those before I'm guessing, eh? He was out of it a bit there.

You mentioned the trip. We are going to Phoenix in January, January, January 11th. 11th to 13th, it is the barn burner vacation. Get yourself a spot. Book yourself in. Limited spots available. We got your flights. We got your hotels.

And we've got your game tickets. We're going to go see the flames and the coyotes. On the 11th, that is a Thursday. Friday. Let's do whatever the heck we want. In Phoenix, when it's cold here and nice there. Love it. Some, you know, you want to golf or whatever that.

What's the, you can top golf, you can real golf. Real golf. whatever you want to do. It's there for you. It's presented by Alberta Blue Cross. There's only one thing better than sharing memories, and that is making new ones. Alberta Blue Cross Travel Insurance protects your memories and more wherever travel takes you.

Visit ab.blucross.com slash travel for more information. And where to book those spots is at our website Nationgear.ca. You'll find the drop-down menu. Get after it. We'll make a heck of a Christmas gift. Hey, fellas? What do you get for dad? Dad's always hard to shop for. Hey?

You want to, yeah, he's got everything. It's about experiences. What can you do with experience? Don't exclude more socks. Or mom or whoever, yeah. We're not going to a Jets game, but Zach Wilson would encourage you to bring your mom out to a sporting event. Or her friends.

That's true too. Yeah, leave mom at home or her friends. What, uh, so are you taking the kids out, Pinder, or are you working the door? Uh, we have to decide whether we leave. the house dark or I'm with the kids. I either work the door or I go with the kids. The kids have it all figured out. They know the neighborhood with the full chocolate bars. So we typically

zip over there and rock and roll. But I was just saying, like, there's been a few new houses on the block. Usually our block's pretty dark, but maybe this year it's not. And I don't want us to be, you know, not hand no candy if things are going on on the block. But you got kids your age, you're not required to have no candy. You go do that.

and then a couple years from now, you won't be invited, then you hand out the candy. And do you know what is it? Yeah, a little clink, clink, a little, give it the old one of these. Wagon guy. I thought in your neighborhood, did you be handing out diamonds or gold bars or something,

Pinder? Gold bars, man, inflation's killing us. So we're settling for silver this year. Cubic, serconia is something like that. And what are you doing Buffalo? Do you need to take like a flat, jacket, some kind of bulletproof vest or something. Sheesh.

Safest neighborhoods in the US of A. Is that right? I missed that one. I missed that one. I just didn't. It's a typical ignorant. So ignorant Canadian. We got some, we got Breaking Flames news fellows.

Are you ready for it? Let's hit the breaking news splitter. Jack, could you hit the breaking news splitter? Oh, too late. Oh, ooh. Conner's Erie has been. called from the heats, Red, or the H.L. Wranglers in Calgary. It's been off to a torrid start in the American League. First rounder, high-skill player,

and yeah, the high-skill NHL players of the flames haven't been any good. Why not try one of the high-skill players in the organization? I'll bet he plays with effort and tenacity. Well, and I, what I would hope is that you put him with skill, right? I was going to say, and A.J. Greer. I was going to say, don't plan with Hunt and Greer. Play him with, like, you know, a who? Oh, a duby or a, geez, there isn't a lot of skill

players here, is there? That's what I was going to say. You've just been complaining about it for three days. And oh, put him with some skill guys. Who? Yeah. I mean, the one line's going well, and that's it. And you don't want to play them with the bump and grind guys. Who do you put them with? We'll

find out soon enough. Well, who, so of the other lines then, if you have your, if you're keeping your third line intact of backland, Manjapani and Coleman, and that's the line you're speaking of. There's a good case to do that. Yeah. If you are doing some variation of Greer, Sharon Govich, Hunt, doer on the fourth line. Yeah. Yeah. And someone's going to come out, obviously, for Zeri to go in. And we're, I don't know. Is there an injury in the top six? We don't know. Could be a Dubet, could be a Lindholm, could be. And are you playing them in the middle or on the wing, Conner's area? I think there's a good question to be asked about what

position he plays at the NHL level. He has been a center in the A. I would think based on, unless it's a center that's hurt, he's probably going to go in the wing. Is that probably safe? If we want him to play in, uh, in one of the top sixes. Coronado Lindholm, Zeri. Give, give, give, give, I was going to say that I don't know that Coronado wouldn't be the worst thing for him to maybe even watch a game. There's lots of guys in that category for me. Yeah. But if it's just you can justify it. It's a young guy, young guy goes in, he can come out. Or it's, you know, you move dube down or whatever.

I don't know, but I'm kind of with you. It's, it's nice for him to get a game. But the thing that we railed against in the past was always, you bring up somebody who is putting up some points in the A or potentially has some skill. And then you bury him on a fourth line. What kind of a read are you getting? And to me, they already have more effective. What's that right?

Fourth line might be the most effective right now. Yeah. Don't break that one up. Their best two lines are their third and fourth line without question. The Backelon line and Sharon Govich, Greer, have been their two best lines. And that's a huge indictment of the skill players on this team. And so I think it does lead for a great opportunity for Zeri to play with some skill. I don't think you need Dryden Hunting your top six.

It looks a little ridiculous that a guy that couldn't crack this roster last year at all for a single game since being added at the deadline is playing on a top line with Lindholm and Euberto. That's not a fit, guys. let's be honest. Zeri would be a better fit there. Now you're after Hunt. Not after Hunt. Hunt's still Dryden Hunt. He's a great Dryden Hunt.

He's the best Dryden Hunt he could be. Dryden Hunt is a great guy to put on your fourth line. No, just I'm going to kind of stir the pot a little bit. Okay. Do you think there's going to maybe be a, not necessarily a controversial, but a high profile healthy scratch.

Do you think they were listening yesterday? Because we said, put somebody in the rafters, maybe. I would love to see it. I would love to see it. I think, you know, you guys have asked the question, you know, what is Ryan Huska do here? He's got to be the nice guy. And I don't know that he has to be the nice guy.

I think he does have a lot more runway than people maybe would think because of the fact that Daryl's on payroll this year and the next year. And how long are you going to let your star, alleged star players not play like stars without, you know, something happening? And I asked around a little and someone. basically told me, look, if Husk has played bad cop, he's not afraid to do that, that's not going to be a problem. Does that happen tonight? And who would be up in the rafters if it did? Ooh, he's a hard ass. This husk. Well, I don't know. He's a hard ass, but I just, I got this as talking to him. He was not going to change his belief on how to coach. And I never really thought he was an easy guy so much as he just wasn't a former player.

And he kind of was, but like not a, you know, he's not Daryl, obviously. But that doesn't mean he's soft, right? I like what they're doing. The message is being sent, I even think, by having Zari come up. So do whatever you want. There's no wrong. He was played less than four minutes against what, St. Louis the other night in the second period.

He was critical of the Cadre, Coronado, Hubert O'Line post game against Edmonton, said we didn't really get much from them. You know. So the next step is you've taken ice time. You've talked about their play publicly not being good enough. And I don't think there's enough of a target's the wrong word. I don't think there's enough criticism of Lindholm.

Get going. Yeah. Contribute. Big time. Enough of your pouty pants. Come on. Or whatever it is. Yeah.

Big time. I think you'd probably be really happy. You haven't signed this guy to eight times nine if you're Craig Conroy right now. Yeah. Like if Lindholm needs a boost and Zari can help out maybe and that's a true. Come on. Here we go. So for Zari, I don't know if you trotted out his numbers.

in the American League for the Wranglers, six games, 10 points, nine of them assists. Last year, his second full season as a pro in the American League had 21 goals and 58 points in 72 games. Is a left-handed shot playing center? Left shot left side?

Is this a Jonathan Huberdo statement tomorrow night? And maybe Huska doesn't even know yet. He's just saying we don't need another fourth liner in our top nine. We need to add some skill, and I'll watch practice the next two days and see who's working.

We'll get to game day on Wednesday and see who cares. I mean, it is quite something to hear some of the comments from like, Cadre talking to the media, is like, everything's great, yeah, no problems here. Oh, good for you, I guess. And you listen to the coach describe his plan

and say, oh, no, there's big problems here. And he's like, Zedorov says, guys are getting along, they're playing too. Oh, no, no, no, no, I think's fine. We're playing his team, we're good. I'll bite, Dean. Damn right. He's going to have.

All right, yeah. The guy's going to sit and puska. Boom, sending a message. Who's sitting? Who's sitting? And it's absolutely going to work. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah.

This is the end of looking at the draft class. They're rocketing right into the playoffs now. Yeah. Get your patent paper ready and start penning your apology letter for all the things we've said to Jonathan Huberto. Well, I'm going to stick it right in our poop. I'm too busy buying playoff tickets right now. heard they're on sale, so.

It's not positive. That is not positive. Oh, I said they're going to make playoffs. That's incredibly positive. I guess, but it's a heavy disdain. Yes, it's the tone. Yeah. Your tone yesterday was just atrocious.

At the day before. I honestly, I think there was a bit of a problem there is that we for, we had one game to talk about for six hours. We did a live stream for three hours, a one game post game show, and then a two-hour show yesterday. So in 24 hours, we got to talk about an outdoor game where they didn't look good for six hours. It was a lot. It was, it was beating the dead horse, um, quite heavily. And I honestly think the best thing for this team is to be really bad right now. So I'm not really fighting what my eyes are telling me, which is they look really bad right now.

San Jose looks like a team that's determined to finish dead last. After that, who are you sure the flames are better than? I'm not sure they're better than San Jose. You keep giving San Jose the benefit They have one loser point in like seven games. So it's quite a lead they've built early. Will they win the eighth? They're two points back. I mean, they would be two points back. Yeah.

I'm not saying it's insurmountable. I just think like San Jose is trying to be bad and is bad. Yeah. I will give them the benefit of the doubt at this point. I'm not suggesting the flames are clearly better than San Jose. They just, you know, in the inverse standings, they got some work to do. I just always, and I brought it up yesterday,

whenever you think, oh, when do they get to play Team X? Team X thinking that they're worse off than the flames. And the flames say, well, here, hold my beer. That was last week against St. Louis. It was last year against Chicago. It was the year Canadian Division against Ottawa. Yeah, it's, but this is different. This isn't a middling team that needs to beat up on a bad team to get into the playoffs.

The flames are in 31st. San Jose is in 32nd. And I would say that this flamething. Dave's team is probably worse than the one we saw last year in the year before. Certainly it is. The goal hunting has been better and that's it. Let's do a little, you know, we have Finn and Cat is one of our, one of our sponsors on board. Glad to have them on.

They were up at the outdoor game at the fan, the fan fest outside, the fan park. Yeah. We are going to, and they are with us. Of course, that's over. I don't know if you guys knew that. The outdoor game has come and gone. And what we are going to do. Talked about that.

Yeah, we did talk about it. Okay, good. We've got a little segment called I dig it for Finning Cat, Finning Cat, a proud partner of the National Hockey League. Do you see they had the logo on the ice, the big Cat logo? Really? I didn't see that. Yeah.

Kat's not messing around. Finning Cat's here for, they're here for the goods. So for I DigGat, we're going to do this from now moving forward. Just something did you see a performance that you like? Did you see something that you're happy about? Something that you can kind of dig, you know? Go ahead. I dig it.

The price is right, Drew, and you do a fine job on that show. Big fan. I dig that show a lot too, right? I'm with you. I can dig that. Woo. I know he's a barker, but he's still a good show, right? He's dead.

He's gone from Cleveland to L.A. I mean, Drew's moving up in the world. I could dig that kind of an upgrade in life, right? I could dig that kind of a job. Did you guys see what kind of money he makes to host that thing? Stupid dough. And let's be honest.

You would hate it. Dude, they tape a bunch of them. You work two or three days a week. Yeah, you bang out of bunch. And you're making millions of dollars to stand there and let somebody else describe what the prizes are. It's like, oh, let's see what's in the showcase. Rod Rod Roddy.

Somebody else does that. Okay. So what do you? That's why I love the show. This is a 2018. I dig it. I got you. Yeah.

What do you have for today? Oh, that's as I dig it. That's why I dig it. That's right. I got one for you. No, don't bother. You said it wasn't good. I didn't say it wasn't good.

I just said it wasn't funny, which is like, have you seen the start? Frank the tank, Vitrono, the pizza man has been off to for the Anahem Ducks. His ninth goal of the season last night, two hat tricks. The guy that showed up at Flames, development camp in like 2013. A little chubby. Dad owns a pizza shop. Dominating now with the ducks.

Nine bingoes tied for the league laid. Can you dig it? It's not can you dig it. It's I can dig it. I'm digging this. Dig, dig, dig. We're working through this. It's not this hard.

What am I supposed to say? Really not. I nailed it. You came up with the name for it. I dig it. Digging. Indeed. I mean, just stop talking at some point.

Ed, just stop. Did you see? Are you a fan of throwback uniforms? Do you like seeing the teams bring them back? And I know this one's kind of controversial. I like the Tampa Bay ones, the cream sickles. I think they look awesome. It's maybe too much to wear all the time.

But I do like it better than what they wear. Now is their full-time jerseys. These ones came out. And I know that the Houston Texans, they want to be able to wear these. ones, but it was the Houston Oilers that then of course went to Tennessee. These are incredible. The Tennessee Titans wore these on the weekend. It is the Houston Oilers throwbacks.

They got the logo. The logo is awesome on the helmet. And this color combo, so much better than what they're wearing. Again. Yeah, that is nice. That is sharp. And I don't know if you could wear that full time or why not? Maybe we only like it because we don't see it.

Nothing funky with the numbers or the name bars. Oilers throwbacks. I dig it. He dug it as well. Look at Henry. Look at that guy. Yeah. I could tackle that guy.

I don't know. I'm not sure. Oh, with your shoulders, Rhett. Don't need them. Those things are awesome. Honestly, do we see enough powder blue in sports? Every time you see it, you love it. The penguins did it for an outdoor game.

Chargers when they wear them in prime time. It's phenomenal. Powder blue. It's a winning, winning uniform. I dig it. Finning Cat. Finning Cat, Cat, the proud partner of the National Hockey League. I was trying to think of what other, because they died the Kelly Greens for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Did you like the Kelly Greens? I did. Yes. Do we like all throwbacks and then we get tired of them? Or how does it work? It is definitely like the scarcity is a good thing for throwbacks. Even in Buffalo. Right?

They brought the old Sabres jerseys back. And they felt like that was a huge step forward. Yeah. Big time. But if you seem every day, it's less cool, right? That's the, that is a part of it. But they never lose when they wear them. It's all right.

Like they've lost once or twice. Well, no, I mean when they used to wear the, the bug slug thing and then went to the originals, the original white blue yellows that they wear. Gotcha, gotcha. Now they're going back to the black ones, which were the slug. can go. A slug can go. I'll say this.

If the flames ever wanted to wear those dark red Atlantis with the huge A's on them, that would absolutely crush. And I think they should do it a couple times a year. Like, why not? That's a great old jersey. No one's ever seen it. That awesome 80s color scheme.

Let's go. It's just good that they went back to what they're wearing now. I agree. Yeah. It's so much better than what they've trotted out over the last little bit. And even Blasty, which at the time was like, this team sucks. There must have been in a grade three class that was assigned with the logo. The color scheme's fine. That looked better when they brought it back the last couple of years than it did in the late 90s, early 2000s. The kale hulls era.

Yeah. The pedestal? Because we saw the pedestal last year. I'm still not sure. That piping has been gone so long that young people think it's cool. They forgot how prevalent and ugly it was when it was on every jersey in the 90s. Young people are stupid. Yeah, they don't realize that fashion cyclical. Very dumb. Old people are stupid too. We're all stupid, right? The aliens watching. Oh, no, the brain hasn't developed until a certain age.

What is it? 24. What? Oh, yeah. It takes a long time for this stupid. That's when I reached his peak performance? I hope that's the case. I was a dumb shit when I was 24.

Because I got somebody living in this house that's under the age of 24. And if he's peaked, God almighty. Lord help him. Get him. Jesus. Let's do the Pinder report of presentation of Village Honda. Huge selection of used vehicles, all makes, all models, all budgets. Over 70 on site, access to more than 400 more in the dealership group, make Village Honda your one-stop automotive destination in Calgary.

They are worth the trip. Your dealership for life. So, I mean, what else do you need to know? It's Village Honda. And they present the Pindor Report. Thank you, fellas. Let us get to yesterday. How was your Sports Equinox, fellows?

What did you do for the Sports Equinox? Rets, you know what a sports equinox is? No. This is Ben Stevens, a dude on Twitter yesterday. Today is the only sports equinox of the entire year. There is one NFL game, one major league baseball game, nine NHL games, and 11 NBA games. It is just the 30th sports equinox ever.

Days like today must be appreciated. All four major sports in action. How good is that? I like that. That's good, Ben. Good job, Ben. Thanks, Ben. I dig it.

I dig it. I dig it, Dean. That's my I dig it. Can you dig it? Guy has to leave the show early, doesn't bring a costume, doesn't have an I dig it. Thanks for being here. Still, uh, I'm digging it right there. There you are.

I'm still not planned. It looked like, it's hard to look at you. Oh, it looks great. I can't miss you. Like, your eyes are crossing like real bad. Direct traffic in that. Couldn't you? Not him.

Well, it looks happy, doesn't he? Nope. Okay. Flames Nation, let's see what's cooking up on the website. Oh, dear. There we are. This up on Flames Nation from, I believe, Jeff Middleton. My boy, Jeff.

Have you done any work today? Like, it just feels like you don't know where the show's going. You don't know what's happening. You're acting like me. It's this story from the website. It's, uh, yeah, there's. You're a basket case. Not a basket case.

Big shoutouts to Jeff who wrote this article. Not the only thing up on Flamesnation.ca. Because while that line's been a constant, the rest has been in a bleeping blender, Dean. And Ryan Pike has written about that, flamesnation.com for more information. When are we going to start criticizing Huska for... The blender?

Yeah, too much. I honestly, at this point, I'm blaming the ingredients, but yeah, you gotta find something at some point. Long runway. As soon as we are of the opinion that it's costing the team, that's holding the team back,

okay, there, I'm not there yet. I'm with Ryan. I think that that poor chef has got some sand and the guy. Someone unplugged the fridge 24 hours before he had to cook. That's not his fault that the food's gone rotten. And by the way, I've kind of changed, I've moved the goalposts a bit as

always suggests I do. Rather than focusing on getting the right lines, I'm focusing on the standings that matter, Dean. Let's have a look at today's NHL standings. These are not adjusted or altered at all. And look at that. Second from the top, the Calgary Flames. 31st, it says on the right side.

Weird, that's five points, a record of two, six, and one. Simply the best. Is it too early? Mm-hmm. Because if the line blender gets you up to that top spot, I'm okay with it. Now, on the flip side,

this is the last day we could say, guys, it's still October. Yeah, yeah. At least that's gone out of it today. Want to throw that up again, Jack? Oh. What kind of company are we in here? See?

So you got... You said it yesterday. It's the Smarm and the... Mike Greer's clubs trying to be bad. They're at the top there. Good work. Oilers feel a lot better after a win. That moved them one whole position up to 30th.

Everyone relaxed in Edmonton. Everything's solved. Conrad, good. but the rest still needing work. The penguins have been a surprise in a way, fellas. Did you see last night they blew multiple five on threes and had a lead late and ended up losing? Wee to Anaheim. The blues who supposed to be were not that good in these standings quite good.

Flames couldn't beat them last week. Seattle off to a rough start. And there's Johnny Hockies and his blue jackets. I'm here to win. They're seventh from the bottom. So we're in striking distance. Good company. This is the positive vibes.

Yeah, I mean, hey, do you want to pick higher or lower, Dean? If you could pick anywhere in the first round, where do you want to pick? That's your positivity right there. With the return of Rasmus Anderson from suspension, we did see a transaction with the American Hockey League yesterday. As we say goodbye to Solo, who was sent back to the HL Wranglers or he was frozen in carbonite. I can't remember which because I've been watching Star Wars lately.

Two games and I agree with Pike Bomb, Pike Bomb. Didn't look out of place in the NHL. And don't mind a defense first big defenseman. Remember, they have three under contract for all of next year in the organization. So a guy like Solo might be important come next fall or even post-deadline here. Good job, Solo. That's good for Solo. Stop hitting on Princess Leia and we love you.

He definitely has to go. is Han Solo today? He does. Yeah, there's no doubt about it. Although I bet you that party was two nights ago. Misty, Misty in Winnipeg. The return, a franchise icon, and Jets 2.0 arrival, Blake Wheeler. Now a member of the New York Rangers

and a whopping total of zero points. Let it play. You can drop the volume a bit. Got the full montage last night. And as you can see, starts out, okay, no big deal. Okay, this is about me. to luck up and watch us a bit and then wheeler goes into please tear ducks don't go crazy on me mode he's got his mouth open he's breathing slowly trying not to cry he was a very good jet for a long time fellows he also came under fire late under boness and maurice well you know what he's thinking

well watch him well up at the end here tears of joy the broadway's nicer but uh Winnipeg. That's a better response and I bet you he thought he was going to get Red. I think he knew he'd get him. He was there forever. Yeah, he was kind of public enemy number one or two the last couple of years. You know how it is. You get over it and... I got over it quick in Winnipeg apparently. Well, we're coming back to a touching tribute for... I mean, they did the same for Chuck and Goddrow here, right?

It was the cheers after the booze. It was both, right? I don't know that Wheeler got booed every time he touched the puck like those two. And he also didn't choose to leave so much as it was... Probably time for both sides to go. Contract was up. Or did they buy them out? Well, that'll be on tomorrow's Pinder Report, Dean. Charlie McAvoy did a no-no yesterday in the hockey leagues of ACHLs.

Oh, dear. Excuse me. Lift your shoulder, principal point of contact and eye contact. Look at he's lining him up and lift the shoulder. And the puck is nowhere. And the puck's nowhere near there. So knowing this, if Rasmus Anderson is four,

he's getting a phone hearing, by the way, the Department of Player Discipline tweeted that today. We're going to chat with this fellow. Is that as bad or worse than Rasmus's? Because I can't see it much lighter. That is a completely intentional hit that has no place in the NHL in 2023. That has to be much of the same, right? At least four, I'm thinking.

Four feels like the ballpark. Was Rasmus skating faster? Did Maccoy didn't leave his feet? Maybe I don't know. It's the shoulder. It's the same of the fact. When Rasmus hit, though. That's right.

Hawk was not even in the screen. Daryl in the comments saying that's six at least. And Darrell knows his hockey. And O'EL is such a nice guy. It's not like he called him a sea sucker or something. I mean, what's he going to say to him? Speaking of sea suckers, we got a Aussie Bradshaw. Let Jack have a lot.

Let Jack. Stepping on my lofts. Go ahead. Go ahead. Do you want to watch you one more time or have we made our point there? No, fuck, move on. That's dirty. Let's move along.

All right, big trade in the NBA. Let's turn it over to Jack for this blockbuster swap in the association. All right. James Harden to the LA Clippers. The Sixers getting some scrubs back. Marcus Morris, Nick Batum, Robert Cummington, KJ. Martin, and multiple draft picks. That's a lot of scrubs. Wow.

And Tucker goes with him. What's your synopsis on the train? Jack. Very good for the Clippers. I guess the Sixers are going to try. No, I want Jack's facts. I want. You want me to just rip on this guy or what?

Yeah, I want you to have some form of negativity or you don't care or something. I've been told I've been too negative lately. I got to be positive. Oh, for Christ's sakes. What are you talking about too negative? You do know the people on the show, right? You're not dragging us down with your negativity. You're only keeping up.

Yeah. Yeah. Damn it, Jack. I like this trade Oh fuck Come on See Dean hates it when he was positive Westbrook Hardin Kauai George

That's a good lineup Former MVP Shut on All right Yeah okay On to the next That's enough from Jack Let's get to Major League

Baseball where the road warriors kept being road warriors The Texas Rangers don't lose On the Road Red They won every single postseason game They played this year My team You're adopting them

It is very red like I gotta bet It's my team. I've been with them the whole way. You sure have. Nine straight road wins. Tell us about the path. Red.

Who did they play in the wild card? Minnesota. That was the Blue Jays. A good try, though. And then in the ALCS, the DS, who did they play? I don't know what the D or the C stand.

The divisional series. And then in the American League championship series, of course, that heated rivalry where they faced the last race team. The last series, they won nine in a row. Houston.

They beat Houston. That's right. the CS, they played Houston. Crushed them. Big Rangers guy. Smash and dingers, game seven. Adolice Garcia has hit five home runs in five straight games.

Last night, this is not good news. They do get the win, but this is an L for the Rangers as they lose their most dynamic hit. Hit him. Watch his swing. Oh, oh, dear. That's the oblique? It's an oblique. Aye. He got a stretch that.

He's been on another level this postseason for Texas. That is not good news. They got a 2-1 series lead, though, and they're on the road for the next two, right? Freeze that shit up. If they win these next two road games, they keep this road heater going, they don't even have to come home to play.

The host games won at two. They're in Arizona. It's two-one seriously. They've got two road games left. And that's the schedule, Dean. I'm not going to comment. Okay, we'll move along. probably enough time there. Excellent. Very excited.

NFL, Monday night football. Lions, roaring. What did I win? Raiders, no good. 26.14, that is a cover. What was the spread here, Jack? Remember, this should have been more competitive, no? I don't know what the spread was, but I will bash on someone. Jimmy Garoppolo was fucking horrible.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. He missed Devante Adams like four times. That last one was unbelievable. Devante Adams was so open. Jack saying he was open all night. God. 7-11. Unbelievable.

Yeah, at Garapolos straight shit. Not the best. But they did come from Derek Carr, so it can't be that shocking to Raiders fans. Russell Wilson, we all love him. He's one of the great guys and booming personalities of the NFL. Here's Russ and his costume. He's going as Coach Prime as the Broncos had their Halloween party,

right? I like that. Russ as Coach Prime. I like Coach Prime. I don't like Russ, but I like the costume. Yeah, very good. You are going to like Russ a little more after this because here he is at a Nuggets game, in Denver, of course. I believe this was last night. Jack, is that right?

And look, there's the spooky mascot. Is that Pinkerton, the mascot for the Nuggets? There's Russ. Sitting Cartside. The girl's trick-or-treating, pulls out a hundo, throws it in. Show off. and you know what Russ knows which people in the world are hurting and he started a new charity called

Courtside Kids. So if you have any spare hindoes, all the kids' courtside are going to get a hondo so that they can live better lives. So if they're sitting courtside, that's right. That's right.

So when they're sitting there in their designer kids clothes, you can tuck a hondo into their trick-or-treating bag. He didn't have any kid, he just threw a hondo in. Thursday night football, not far away, Dean. Jack, let's turn to the Jack Cam and talk about the Thursday night matchup.

I'm coming in positive here. Okay. First of all, this Thursday, it's my birthday. Oh. Steelers playing on my birthday. What a present. What a present. Home favorites.

Will Levis just threw four touchdowns? Yeah, he looked better than Kenny Pickett ever has in four quarters. Oh, dear. Is it Tribisky for you guys? this week. It is Trebiski, I believe. I thought Kenny Pickett look great in the preseason. What are you talking about?

Well, that's all we heard about here for a month. Did he? Did he? You're talking about QB rating in the preseason. You hog? Anyway, happy birthday on Thursday. Go Steelers. Go Steelers.

Okay. A little trepidation there. Yeah, a little bit. You really had to work up into that. Don't worry, they still got Mac Canada. You'll have it sorted. Good game plan. They're coming.

Finally, to the dumb portion of this, well, the even dumber. portion of this Pinder Report, friends. Let us start with everyone's favorite science experiment. You've done the Mentos and the soda. You've seen these, right? You drop the Mentos in and it foams. Never works for me.

Somebody supersized it. Let's take a look. Is this Bill Nye? Of Dr. Pepper. 19 liters. Pour it into one of these refill of water jugs. Take, I think, 40 Mentos. Oh, he's built to come all in.

It's like a bomb. Because one of those mentos in a single two-liter is like major fart. 40 plus 40? He kind of spills a few, too. It's probably 35. He should have put a phone or something there, you know? You know, I think he made his point. That's true because every time my kid goes on a plane,

he grabs when the people go by to hand out drinks, he asks for a Coke and he's always eating Mentos. and then he pukes all over. Buddy is going to down a plane over the U.S. if he keeps doing that. Tell him not to mix those two things. So what happened in that video is they had one of those big kind of

like a water cooler. A colligan thing, yeah. And it blew the bottom right out of it. Wow. Amazing. You ever need to build a bomb? Probably you don't. So ignore that.

This is the line of door dachers trying to get into Dean's house yesterday as he was enjoying the sports equinox. Let's have a look here. Quite busy. And that front rail, you know, that's no good. Oh, boy. I mean, you got to start some sort of priority order or something,

everyone trying to get to the front door at the same time. Ooh, that's a goose right there. That's going to be a loss. So you can see that they got their feet kind of in through the. Not good. They'll look young and. Spry? Yeah, they'll be vibrant again.

They got flexible bones at that age, don't they? They do. Yeah. They're bendy. I made a rubber. And they're dumb animals. Their brains aren't fully formed, I was told once. Not for a while.

A bit longer. Okay. Finally, we always save the best for last. And there is nothing better than Ozzy Brad. And this, I'll let you be the judge. In my opinion, his best report ever from Melbourne, Australia. Boobo. Pinda, Retro.

Fucking disappointing, boys. Unbelievable. Last time this shit happened, look at it. I was fucking there. Had me candy out. on this fucking seat it was freezing as fuck and guess what happens we go up there and fucking blade a fucking egg against these cunts fucking assholes anyway fucking in the tuck shop today boys get the feet had me fucking hat on and guess who's

fucking comment this fucking dirty rotten cunt behind me oh you're fucking flamether look around this cunt had a fucking oilers hat on he fucking barbed me out he goes oh we fucking said fuck you mate I was flat as a fucking shit carter's hat before fucking that and then that fucking pulverized me into the ground anyway boys got to get up in about somehow some way i don't know how i'm gonna do it couple of things the fucking osies the mighty fucking osseys who're playing against those fucking dirty rotten pomman motherfuckers england in cricket i know yeah cricket boring sports those fucking baseball boys but i fucking tell you what we're coming hard for these motherfuckers in

Saturday night these motherfuckers are going down the other thing you've offered me a good deal boys you've offered me a fucking hell of a deal boomer Arizona 4,400 bucks what a flight all the way from Melbourne over there 1400 bucks you're a fucking bunch of good blocs you folks from barn burner I'm thinking about it I might get a crew to get there if I've got to have a layover somewhere I might pick Vegas I don't know the wife's got to have to deal with her and be a fucking widow. I don't know if I'll come back from it, but I'll fucking think about it, boom. Fucking keep punching, mate.

Fucking keep punching. I'm ready for the day. Let's go. Let's go. There's the positivity. There's positive vibes. I think he's all confused because it's 1499 based on double occupancy from Calgary. So we're not flying people from Melbourne, Brad. I'm sorry about that.

Yeah, that would be a heck of a deal, I think, probably. We should look into it. He's worth it. into it. There's also some Aussie lingo. I want to straighten out with you there because there's always a few phrases. Very confused for a while. So he said he was at the tuck shop. The tuck shop is kind of like a cafeteria.

So it's like if you're in line at a buffet, that's a tuck shop. Okay. And so if you ever see the old ladies with the flab swinging under their arms, that's called tuck shop arms because typically it's old hags that work there. Anyway, it's all this lingo. He's like, I'm at the tuck shop, getting a feed. So that explains where the dude with the oilers has started beaking him.

And he got so bleeping mad. So tuck shop. kind of like a restaurant cafeteria buffet thing. Okay. Perfect. Yeah. I thought he said tack shop. Like Western gear,

I just wasn't really sure. So that is like Tucker is food and tuck shop would be a place to get some grub. And that's hard. Right? You're wearing your flame stuff and some guy starts beacon you from behind. You know, it's just got to take it. You bastard.

That's a boy, Ozzie Brad. So on the comments wondering if Crown Royal could sponsor his flight over. I don't think that's the worst idea. Oh. I want to be more expensive, his ticket or his booze bill for the flight. He's amazing. There's no other, there's only one Aussie Brad.

Tremendous. And he was at the Winter Classic here. Yeah. He was 11 or whatever it was. He froze his ass off. His candy ass, yeah. Yeah. That's the Pinder Report.

that doesn't know what he's doing? Let's do our Betway bets of the day. Betway, get the Betway up on your phone. Bet the responsible way with Betway. Should have cut that memo out to the staff yesterday. Jack, you got an outfit on? Yeah, where's the Jack Cap?

No, I don't. Oh, Christ. Don't give me shit. You're wearing anything either. That's been talking about all week. How dare you? Ret, don't give me shit. You stick up for your stuff, Jack. That's right.

That way, bets. Let's take a look at what we got tonight. You mentioned World Series. I'm going hockey. Only two games tonight. There's no, is it still an equinox?

I'm not sure whatever that thing is. Anyway. There's no NFL tonight, son. La at Tor tonight. I'm going to William Neelander for a couple of points. He's been good. He's sticking it to Trilliving. because somebody should, that bastard.

Plus 140 for a Willie Nealander 2 point or more night. And the other game has Nashville at Vancouver. Quinn Hughes had a great start. Had two goals the other night. I'm going to take it anytime goal plus 375. I got a bit overlap with you, Dino. And Willie Nealander is sticking it to your living. And by the way, free agents in Calgary,

feel free to take notes on what you're supposed to do in your walk year. Put up some numbers and get paid. That's right. Like Lindholm. Are you watching this? Tanna, Vannevin, fellas. Huh? Fellas.

Fellas. Let's start with the L.A. at Toronto game. These are two of the highest scoring clubs in the NHL. I also hate their goaltending on both of them. I'm going to take over seven and a half. We need eight or more goals and it plays, pays plus 165. Don't mind that. L.A. actually surprisingly way up there in team goals.

I don't know that we think of them as an offensively gifted group, but they have been their goals for per game. LA Kings leading the league at almost four and a half per game. Toronto ninth in the league. So two top 10 offenses. And in terms of defense, LA bottom 10 Toronto midpack. So I like the over in that one. I'm on Quinn Hughes as well.

He has been sensational. I love a two point night for him. The power play talent, the assists. And yeah, he's scoring two, as you noted, two points plus 250. I am all over that. Those are my Betway bets of the day. I like yours better than mine.

Two points and a plus 250? Isn't that big number for him? The way he's been going? It seems like a big one. Every night he's been two. Yeah, it feels like a big number there. Get that Betway app on your phone and play along, but bet the responsible way with Betway.

I was keeping an eye on my Betway app last night watching that football game. Oh, what are you seeing? Well, just seeing where it just felt like clearly the lions were going to win that game. Right. But so too did Betway. Yeah, they knew. I thought maybe I was going to sneak in. like, maybe they like the Raiders here.

Maybe they're not watching and seeing the Carapola looks like a pile of poop. But they were. They really were. Lions have been the mixed bag this year. They'd be KC week one. Everyone loves them. They've lost to some shitty teams. They look good again.

Like, I don't really know what we're seeing there. I do. What do we see? It's whenever I have money on them. Oh. Whenever I'm on the lions, they fall apart. And whenever I'm like, I don't know if I can. Explosion.

Would you like to use this power for good or for evil, Dean? I'm not sure. I'm not sure. You should adopt the Lions. That wouldn't be a front running move. The Lions could be your team. No, you know what? I have, I've been thinking about this because Jack's come at me about it.

I feel like I have a team. I've thought about it. Really? And I do. The criteria was there has to be some kind of connection. You can't just pick this team is my team. Yeah. So there is a tie back to my youth.

There is the cry. I need to be able to get there relatively easily by. Flights are by. Yeah. And they can't be good because then you're a front runner. You can't absolutely can't be good. You can't be picking the Patriots 10 years ago as your favorite team. You're a loser.

If that's you, we hate you. One of my first real NFL memories and I was, again, look at the year, was the Chicago Bears in the Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals. It was icky woods doing the icky shuffle for the Bengals. But on the other side, Jim McMahon, the quarterback, he had the Pete Roselle headband because he couldn't wear Adidas or whatever because it wasn't a league sponsor.

You had William Refrigerator Perry. You had sweetness in the backfield. And I like, I loved the bears. I was cheering hard for the bears because I didn't like this boomer asiason and his blonde hair. I think I'm going to be on the bears because I love the bears back then. and I just never stuck with it, but I can get there with a direct flight. They stink.

Great city. And I did cheer for the Mississippi. It's a great city to visit, Rhett. I'm not sitting to live there and go to the rough parts. What in Buffalo. We're a flag jacket team. Proud of you, though. Honestly, are you with this?

Because I've been waiting for a decade for you to pick a team, and I love, it all checks out. They're not good. You're not fronting. You have a tie-in. It's a direct flight. you, if they lose two, three in a row, are you done with this? And like, screw it.

That was just a thing on the show. Are you in? I feel like it fits because no one would pick the bears. There's a great time to jump on the bears. What about the bills? Why does you join the bills with the retro? Not a direct flight. It's one strike.

The bills. Front running. All I remember with the bills was like, how do you lose four in a row? Exactly. You were a miserable bastard. You would fit right in here. Remember Kansas City, too? year a couple years ago what they did red it's 2023 the more miserable fan bases in chicago by a mile

this is this is perfect for dean right now come on let's be honest here the bills they're they no one has any hope for the the bears the bills that's why that's the bills will let you down come on i feel like the bears will let you down too no there's no expectation they're shitty like the guy they're their their quarterback right now you don't even know beagent who the hell it's perfect. It feels like, get a tattoo then. Okay. So, just so we're clear,

Jack is a Steelers fan. Red is a Bills fan. I am a Chargers fan. And Dean, you are. I'm a Bears fan. Yes, we did it. It took a decade. We got him a team.

This is big. And now we've got to see if he bets the Bears this weekend, right? On Friday with his football picks. Look at all the best. The Bears did make a deal today. What did you think? Montez sweat.

I love this guy. Let's go. Let's get sweaty, Dean. Let's go. I love this. Chapes face. Boomer, don't do this. Don't do this to yourself.

You've been hurt too much. Why are you doing this? You are a glutton for punishment. I love it. But no, because you want to have a team. You do. But I remember that Super Bowl somehow quite vividly. Jim McMahon was, he was so cocky and arrogant.

and they got a great video. Yeah. They do. The Super Bowl shuffle. Yeah. So there you go. So how are you going to approach Sundays? If the bears are in prime time or the evening, like the afternoon window, it's a little easier.

But if they play the morning zone and you got red zone up, you're going to get a second screen for the bears? Like, this is a test of fandom here. Chicago deep dish pizza. That's what you're food. Yeah. Let's go to Chicago. I know you're hating on Chicago. It's dangerous.

Well. Brett, there's how many million people live there? I think you're underestimating, Mr. Pinder. I think it's definitely have a lot of murders there. I'm just trying to do the per capita work for you. Like if there's 400 people that die a year and there's 4 million people and we're there for two days, like what of our chances of getting murdered? It'd be like 0.000001.

I'm just trying to put it in context for you. You were down on New York for years ago. New York's great. Hot dogs, no ketchup? Yes, Wrigley Field. Deep dish. Big dish pizza. Connor Bedard.

Oprah. Zero fucking tailgating, by the way. Pardon my language. Zero. Nowhere to tailgate there. Dean doesn't even like tailgating. He has to deal with other people there. Not for him.

Well, he's going to Chicago. 80,000 people at Soldier Field. Like, what are you talking? You're not going to Chicago. You're phony. You're faking. Dean?

Let's show him. Let's show him. You try and do something. And this is the time. Don't quit. Don't let him discourage you. This is your team. If I'd have said, Bill.

you'd have bought you a ticket you would have gone to the Monday nighter coming up could nail it is that this week? We got one nighter coming up I don't know if it's a Thursday or Friday but it's a nighter and it's going to be great

and you're invited if you switch right now. So is it Bill's Bears? Right now I'm putting it to you right now. You can't do this. This is a test early. Sunday night, Bangles Bills. This week?

There you go. Oh my God. It's a rematch of the Demar Handling game. You hate the Bengals. You hate the Bengals. Oh, there's an angle there. You can't tell your heart what to love, Red. Yes, he's in.

I appreciate that you're a bills guy. I'm not talking down about your bills, but the bears are in my heart. I never thought I would see this day, and I'm so proud of you. I really am. Ditka. Didka?

Dachah! Bowls, the bears, the bears, the bulls, the bears. The bears. Yes. Oh, Dean, this is so good for you. Feels good. Get ready to have your heartbroken, so. That's fine.

He's not going to have his heartbroken because they're never, they're terrible. There's no heartbreak and being terrible. He's just terrible. Is that what Ozzie Brad sounded like? The flames are terrible. He sounded heartbroken. That's a fan right there. He's not pissed drunk, not pissed off.

He can still be upset too while you're hammered. The stadium is comparable to the dump so cold, so murdery. See, that's perfect for you. I don't think the dump is murdery. It may be cold, but I don't think there's... On the tractor here. It knows a lot about Chicago. Come on, Burn.

Dude, I know burned. He's a nice guy. He shouldn't be saying that kind of stuff. Come on, burnt. So since leaving the morning show, Boomer is a Bears and WWE fan. Love it. Yes. Look at you.

Well, that's what I'm actually... It's part of my costume. It's actually my wrestling t-shirt on backwards. It's my L.A. Knight T-shirt. I do see the L.A. on the right sleeve there. Yeah. Yeah. L.A. Night.

Yeah. Go Bears. Bears and flames. You are a glass F.M.T. I love it. Listen, I said bears. That's my limit. That's all I'm doing. It's good.

I'm in. Happy for you. Hey, coming up on Thursday, it'll be Ask Rett for Bonton Meets. Get those questions. in the email address. Ask Rhett at Flamesnation.ca. Ask Brett the biggest American city to go to to not get stabbed. Something like that. You can learn.

I thought you liked Chicago. You did back in the day. It's the last time you've been to Chicago. I love Chicago, but Chicago is not a friendly place to be right now. I think you're watching too much of the news. Well, God forbid that you go walk around. Turn off Fox News. A couple short six inch shafts in the back.

You and Tucker Carlson. just cool it. He's making it sound like his Gaza Strip. Like this is still Chicago here, Red. It's not a bad. That's terrible. Me and you will go. I'll meet you there.

So where are you, what's on your list? You want to go to Indianapolis or something like that? Like what's, what's a big city that's safe?

Buffalo. That's not a big city. What are you talking? Buffalo. How many people live in Buffalo? Yeah, one and a half. Yeah, if you include every backwards little town around the place, maybe. Cleveland.

I'm going to Cleveland. You include the tourists at the sundown or you might get close to that. Come on, Cleveland. I don't mind Cleveland, but it's the shit. They got like two blocks. That's it. You got two towers. Cleveland.

I feel like Cleveland's a dirty, dangerous town. Bozeman. Let's go to Bozeman. No, Steve lost this now. That's not. Is Bozeman smaller than like medicine hat? Come on now. Where is a good city?

I'm not going to Chicago. You know what you'd like and everyone likes is San Diego. That's in California. The girls are warm. Perfect weather, ocean. And you know what? ocean's freezing freaking cold there. It's frozen, miserable.

Oh, let's go to the beach. Miami. Miami, too violent for you? Oh, you're careful. I lost my head. Someone tipped the lamp over. You just have the Mentos and the duct to pepper there? What happened? Let's, as we bring the show to a close,

let's really talk about our lack of dedication for our Halloween show. Like, look, we've got graphics built up. They had special, like, they had the music. intro with the spooky the spooky side of it. We've got the logo. Everything's all kind of done up. And you guys couldn't even you are the Halloween guys. Retro,

All right. Christmas. There's no. way I'm doing this another year. Don't, don't, because your eyes are all messed up. No, I mean this show. I might be a minion next year, but I will not be doing this show next year. Oh, right now I'll be doing it and we'll say, where's your dedication?

Oh, because you're doing the prices, right? Well, I'll be watching. Yeah, I'll be, me and Drew. We're filming that week. Now it'll do it. Did we do everything we needed to do more or less? Tomorrow's a game day. We didn't do anything positive.

There was not one positive text that came. in. Well, we weren't that negative on the flames. We hardly talked with the flames. That's how you stay positive. That's a good point. Good point. And we did have the reverse standing. So good on you, Pender. Thank you. And Conner's Erie. Love Conner's that. That's something else going on?

No. I think that's it. I'm just texting me something, but I'm sure, yeah. It's like the NFL trade deadline. He's like the looks at things. Anything going on, Jack. What's going on the NFL trade deadline today? Who's getting traded? Not much going on right now.

I sweat got traded. The Bears are looking to trade. uh jalen johnson the steelers cornerback levi wallis who gets torched every week uh put eye emojis on his story so hopefully he's getting traded everyone i think the texasers are going to do something titans aren't trading derrick henry that's too bad why wouldn't you trade derrick henry you're no good titans like send him to buffalo well and how about uh minnesota oh you lose your quarterback jefferson will come back they got a soft schedule coming up. What are they four and four now?

How fat is he by now? Oh, but no one. Like, oh, right? Ray. They'll never find a helmet to fit on that head. No. No chance.

And if they get it on, there's no friggin chin strap that'll do up. Oh, boy. No chance. Those Bears fans, they hate the Vikings. We hate them, uh, Steelers and Vikings. That's right. This is the NFC Norris division.

This is personal with Dean. I mean, Rothusberger would be absolute Barry Brust 320. Jeez. Territory. Need a new scale. Need a new scale. Okay, but part of being a Bears fan, you got to hate the Vikings.

All right. Don, got to hate the lions. He's up the rules for you. Well, no, I just, I mean, he's new here. And you've got to hate Minnesota. Yeah, I don't like Minnesota. Good. Ask people always, how, you're from Manitoba, how aren't you a Vikings fan?

I don't, it's purple, it's done, I just never took to it. You had a bad experience there, too. He said he went as a kid and it was stupid. Something about it was dumb. No, no, I went when I was a young adult and got drunk. Yeah, we can't have that happening. They don't do that in Chicago. At the Hubert, what, the Humphrey Dome,

and then passed out and then went to watch the Oilers in Wild that night. Oh, that'll put you back to sleep in no time. Dougie wait, OT winner for the Oilers. Was that the Jacques Lamar era? Oh, yeah. Well, you know what? It was very early.
