Hello, everybody. Welcome to the show. It is Tuesday. The seventh?
Well, a lot. Okay. I've been off by a day. I thought today was the eighth. Got me all screwed up.
No, it's tomorrow, Dean. Is it? That's after the seventh. Yeah. Yeah, he's right. Yeah.
All right. Well, I guess we'll do that tomorrow then. Sure. The eighth show tomorrow?
Yeah, I'm in. Okay. I'll be here.
are all pre. I mean, we act like it's
live, but they're all. We've got them
in the can years in advance.
Yeah, we're going down tonight
against Dallas, but we can't let
them. Yeah, I wonder what will happen tonight.
We have no idea.
Can't tell you. That's right.
That's right. That's right. Our deal with Connie.
Welcome to the program. It is a presentation of bet
365. Hockey fans check out.
Bet 365's three goal early payout. When your team goes up
three, you get paid. It's that simple.
Download the app today. Must be 19 or over
Please play responsibly.
Would you, could you, would you do that?
And we got super chats as we're, of course, live.
You put money into the YouTube chat.
We'll donate it to the U Centers of Calgary on your behalf.
Sorry of, I mean, we'll take all the credit.
We'll talk about you on the, we'll put your thing up on the show on that, but.
It'd be tough to name you all by name personally.
We're sorry about that.
Kind of ends up looking good on us.
Yeah.
So we thank you for that.
Well, at least something does, because,
if you actually look at these pictures in this screen area,
there's not our best look today.
There's not a lot of people that probably come in on a daily basis and think,
I don't care for the show,
but these guys are hot.
The nice thing is,
well, I am,
I am bad.
These guys are morons.
I just mute it and I just fall.
But I'm here for the beefcake.
I love that.
I'm hot dads.
That's what I'm into.
They're like,
Gray's in your beard, you've come to the right show.
Here in the McLeod Law, LLP studios, it's four separate studios, full disclosure.
I looked out the window today and said, F, this.
I didn't realize it was as dice as it.
So what were you doing?
Because you had texted first.
Is it bad outside?
I'm getting my life, you know.
I'm trying to get organized in life.
And then I text, and then you guys were like, I'm,
Home show.
And I looked out the window at that point and it was like, white out.
Yes.
Like, oh.
Okay.
Because 15 minutes earlier, it was not white out.
It happened quick, it seemed.
It was a dusting and there was a squall dean.
A squall?
Yeah.
It was a pretty clipper, Dean?
Watch your mouth.
Clipper, get you canceled.
You're not careful.
So, yeah, we're, we're hearing the McLeodlaw, LLP studios regardless,
McLeod-dashlaw.com, great partners of ours.
I wonder if they're brushing up.
for the big playoff draft.
Oh, you know, they are.
He's the research team.
He's, he's the coordinator there.
I'm sure he's delegated some advanced metrics work to some of his
minions, but he'll be building their list.
Yeah.
I think Shane, litigator of the year, prides himself on his hockey prowess.
Oh, yeah.
His knowledge.
Yeah.
I think is you can pride yourself and still be an idiot.
It's true.
Oh, geez.
No, he's not that.
That would be us.
The idiots are at the police.
He is.
I'm just saying there are people out there.
Is it our fourth annual
playoff draft?
It is our fourth annual
playoff draft.
Are those dusters
from the cultural
capital coming?
Our boy,
Jay from Paybelt
one last year,
which meant he got
free entry to this year's
draft,
so he will be back.
I don't know how many
months since he's importing
the wrong way.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like it.
That Jay,
I like a lot.
That Jay's okay.
It's that other Jay.
I could really.
Other Jay is not here to this year.
Yeah.
Are you going to get
Are you going to get full of liquor again this year, Rhett?
He was on fire last year.
I don't know.
It was his best craft ever.
It was a very good show.
Phenomenal.
Normally Dean and I do a little commitment.
Rhett was just the freight train is coming down the hill
and we just came back and let them run the show.
After two years of failing, I decided to make something of it.
That's right.
Yeah, Rhett got the old lean on the podium going.
Who am I going to shit talk next?
Who's getting it right now?
Hi, there's a good.
Yeah, I just kind of pick away at the crowd.
It's our playoff draft.
We do it every year.
It flies out of the radar a little bit.
And we're very fortunate that way because a lot of the teams that are in,
they return to playoff draft.
There's kind of a limited number of teams that you can have.
And we're fortunate that most of the teams re-up,
or we get, you know, not like there's a waiting list, but there's always so many teams you can have.
I guess you could have a bunch.
But if you're, which goal and 16 teams make it and, you know, goalie, but anyway, it's in support of kids sport Calgary.
Kevin Webster and his group do a great job with it and help us out and we help them out.
What a partnership has become.
Again, looks good on us.
Again, we'll do a whole lot for this is.
So we get drunk and yell at people.
Yeah, we go, there's food and.
And don't have to pick a team.
Don't have any.
We just make fun of your picks, really.
It's kind of like the show.
We just take runs at each other.
It's a lot like the, uh, the superchats where we just critique your idiocy.
Yeah.
I would have got more than of silly you, Connie.
Oh.
Yeah, we're good at that.
Yeah.
We're real good at it.
You're going to show this thing, Jack?
You're just going to have it sit there.
You need like, what?
Come on, Jack.
The hell's rather.
Jack, you know what?
You were no good yesterday.
Oh, boy.
That's tough.
Jack.
There it is.
Hotel Arts.
Friday, April 17,
the day after the final day of the regular season will have all the match upset.
The bracket will be ready, retro, and you will be in fine form if you're anything like last year.
Well, I never got the email, but I'll try to be there.
Yeah.
Any thoughts?
Is this why you were waiting to put it up, Jack?
Or what were you waiting for?
That was on the fall with the president.
Ha!
Yeah.
This is your running gag.
He loves it.
He loves his running.
He's on the phone.
I kind of like it too, Jack.
I think he got a roll with this.
I don't mind it, Jack.
I didn't care.
I wasn't sure if this was the right one.
I'll be honest.
Well, yeah, you can't see it, of course.
But it does say in support of kids' sport.
It's on that logo, but God, you couldn't find it with a...
Well, we just told you.
So, you're all going to have.
So there you go.
That's coming up next week.
Real quick, real quick.
If you are interested, we might be able to squeeze another team in.
Kevin W. at kidsportcalgary.com.
That's Kevin Webster.
It has such a great job.
Gathering funds around our community and making sure kids get involved in sport,
which is something we're super behind.
Kevin W. at kidsport, Calgary.
com Friday, the 17th doors and dinner around 16.
No, first selection.
First overall pick, 7 p.m. from Hotel Arts.
They have a, they have a whole matrix as to how you get the picks.
Yes.
So if you, I think there's a, you know, the draft lottery tankathon.
We do that every day.
Webster has his own thing.
Yeah.
There's some, there's a bit of a bidding process.
Remember, remember.
There's a fundraising challenge.
And there's always teams trying to move up the board and saying, we'll give you a thousand bucks to kids board.
If you let us swap in, we'll, we'll give you nine overall if we can move into the two hole.
It's, it really is like the draft floor before they killed the draft and made it no fun with the remote draft stuff.
It's the last great draft.
It really is.
Now, do we know if Anthony from Village Honda is going to?
be there again. He's got a team
in there, so I assume he'll be there. It is one of his
favorite events of the year. I enjoy
when Anthony gets there, because
he gets right with the spirit of it.
You know what? We feel bad.
That was a bad pick on our
behalf. We're going to donate $100
too. Okay, very good.
That's very nice. That was bad pick.
He hasn't played for a while. We weren't ready
to pick. That's our bad. Sorry,
$100 for
$100 for kids for
fellas it's a game day get your helmets on

You've been the heart of Texas,
that one. Yes.
Okay.
Something, something.
So does that. Anyway,
they're there. That's where they are
tonight. I'm going to play the Dallas Stars.
Welcome home, Blake Coleman.
It's got to be some sort of
social media BS going on
where they were over at Coleman's house.
I haven't perused.
Jumping in the pool.
Yeah, I don't know.
Too busy bragging up their HL player of the week
and the college guys off to the Final Four, Frozen Four.
Yeah, yeah.
Housing's cheap in Texas, hey?
Still?
I think so.
Compared to you.
I know Austin's been red hot forever.
All of a sudden, that's the place to be.
Yeah.
Oh, Boston weird, they say.
Austin used to be sneaky kind of,
oh, it's good live music.
No longer sneaky.
It's a real terrible to get around in.
Is that right?
More traffic.
Yeah, believe that.
Like Mardolope bat or?
I'll tell you what it's good.
Construction level bad.
I got busted for it yesterday when I was
Grandma and Grandpa's house and Frontier where I grew up was for sale.
Yeah.
You don't want traffic?
Oh, yeah.
Grandma never even rode a car.
Didn't he ever get a license?
Plenty of parking rent?
All kinds of.
Park wherever that did you want.
Did you say she never rode a car?
Drove a car.
Okay.
Yeah.
So anyway.
Down by the way.
Dallas stars.
Calgary Flames tonight.
Flames are red hot, fellas.
No, they're not.
They've won.
They've lost two or three.
Yeah.
We've lost two of three, but I mean, you go back, you could start mixing in that,
what, four in a row there?
What are you trying to do?
Sell us of, what?
False bill of goods here.
They're 5-0 and one on the homestand.
They've been the worst team on their last nine days.
games again the home road splits something but they have played better what do you try so we're supposed to talk about how great they are and things are great and we want them to win and keep up push rat let's go not eliminated yet i'm just tell you know what it is i'm just kind of throwing up a little bit of a uh to the dallas stars if you just if you're just going to roll in there today if gully's just going to have these guys saunter in in their flip flops and tank talks well you don't they don't have and look at the standings like oh these guys you know what they are these guys are shit they're
Look at there at the bottom of the standings.
Careful.
Careful.
You get husked.
That's right.
You get husked.
Huska knows.
Like, wait a minute.
You coached the flames for, hmm.
How'd you do?
Oh, okay.
Well, I'm the eighth longest tenured coach in the NHL right now.
Maybe someday a gully you can get there too.
They would have played against each other.
Where did gully play?
Sask too.
He was the captain.
Really?
Played in Las Vegas.
Coached in Las Vegas.
For a long time.
He was in Vegas before Vegas was cool.
I don't know why that Sutter didn't send me to Vegas.
If you had to send me to Vegas, I'd have gone.
No, you wouldn't have had a career.
You'd have found us.
You'd have found something.
Why?
You'd have found something that wouldn't have worked.
In Vegas?
What was wrong with Stockton?
No, it was Omaha then?
Oh, was it Omaha?
Going to frickin' in Omaha.
Talk is it.
Good song.
Count of Crows.
I think.
Omaha.
Coleman.
Blake?
Or the family?
No, Blake?
Three points in the last two games.
Frost and Farabby.
Frost has scored.
21 goals.
Farabby's Fereby's feeling.
Boy, he's got 18 goals.
Come on.
Come on, Farabit.
Get me there.
Two more for boom, Cat.
Let's go.
Two more.
Come on now.
Two more.
I'm just going to bang right into it here.
If I can find my God damn.
Here we go.
Thank you.
And Barnburner Newsflash deep in the heart of Texas, a popular 1941 song famously recorded by Gene Autry and Perry Como, celebrated for its lyrics praising Texas nights, praises, prairie skies and ranch life.
Oh, boy, Ken.
See, there he is.
He's even got the Western.
Come on Warner.
It's a Matatoba thing.
Texas-themed avatar.
He's got the wanted sign, the Saboteur.
Throw that back up, Jack.
This is good stuff.
That was not a, there's no donation to this.
Why the, is this guy on here?
He's helping the show.
Thank you, Kenny.
I appreciate it.
He's screwing the kids out of a couple bucks for sure, though.
You're right.
Yeah, you know, we'll throw it there away.
We'll get them there.
I'll tell you.
Stars want to start playing better.
That we can tell you.
Stars want to hold on to home ice is what the stars want to do because the stars don't want to start in Minnesota.
Yeah, that looked like it was kind of home and cooled for a long time.
Colorado is going to finish second.
The wild is going to be Dallas, Colorado, Dallas have home ice.
It's still, it's going to be Dallas Wild round one.
Who's going to have home ice in this song again?
Because all of a sudden that gap has narrowed.
Last we saw the wild against the flames was March 3rd.
We were at the game and it was ugly early.
It ended up being 6'1.
And that was amid the Dallas looks infallible like these are look out.
They ended up going what, 15 games without a loss.
10 game win streak points in 15 straight.
Yeah.
And I think that was somewhere around the 9, 10, 11 game mark, if I'm correct.
But they were rolling.
They've got a ton of injuries right now.
But fellas, two weeks, you'll be playing playoff hockey.
Let's get her goal.
Yeah.
So I mean, yeah.
But if you think you're just flipping a switch.
Exactly.
Like I say, with this, you know, flames are coming in flames, no good.
Oh, this is going to be cakewalk.
Since that 15 game streak, three, six and two.
Gully.
Golly.
Golly.
Go on, golly.
You got, if you need to throw a stick in the friggin stands or something, get on a, on my math.
So they were, what did you say, 15 or 16 games?
15.
So 15.
15.
and then they've won three more.
So that's 18,
six and two?
Well, fair enough.
If you want to do that way.
Oh, okay.
I mean, January is a long time ago.
Who gives a shit what you did in January?
What are you doing right now?
Yeah, Rope Hintz being hurt,
can't play right now.
He was healthy.
Rupé Hintz has been out a long time.
He's missed 15 games.
Radic Faxo, 20.
Sagan's been gone the whole year.
Yeah.
You know,
they traded for,
what, bunting and Myers
at the deadline? Tyler Myers. He said, I'm not going
to Detroit. Screw that. Send me to Dallas
and they did. So nice of them.
He's hurt.
My name tonight is the
word. It sounds like they're going to roll 11 and
7 and Myers has been
day to day. Sounds like he's in is the
what the beat reporters from Dallas are saying
this morning. The beep reporters?
The beat. Bodka beep?
I'd love one. Yeah.
I bet it to the draft. I'll get
crushing it.
Jack, can we get some beep? Jack, can we get some beep
for the for draft night.
Can we do that?
Sure.
Get somebody on that.
Call the president and see if you're there.
Driving a prime minister for me, but yeah.
Yeah.
Today's Tuesday.
When they, there are there.
Flames still have what, four or five more days of this road trip?
I've been on the road forever.
I was actually going to text some of these staff and say,
how are the road trips this year?
Yeah.
A couple big ones recently, too, because they went,
he used to play what the islanders and devils and that was a five or six gamer now a six gamer here
the nice thing is they're probably calling home to the old ladies and the old ladies are like

So, babe, you guys, you go home, you go to Dallas with the kids and the babies and, uh,
you know, we'll just, uh, we'll just get you set up there.
We'll let you take and stay away because there's a good chance.
There might be some bad weather coming in the old, uh, in old cow town.
What happened to our buddy? Where did he go?
He's done. That's his, uh, he got paid.
I got a little bit schauser when I'm sick.
You still sick?
The hell doesn't matter with you.
He's getting better.
He was rough yesterday.
A couple hours yesterday

where it felt okay and then it was
ooh.
Downhill again.
Really?
A goosh?
It's weird with all that
witch doctor shit that you take.
Whatever.
Thought you were kind of bulletproof.
No, this is what makes you bulletproof.
Oh, battling through this stuff.
Just building immunity right now, Dean.
Hell yeah. Fair enough.
Fair enough.
May not feel like it right now,
but your kids
are going to be playing baseball outside in a matter of hours.
Dude, in a matter of hours.
Indoor practice Sunday.
Oh, yeah?
Wheels up on baseball season.
Did you get the kids on the same team this time at least?
The baseball have always been on the same team.
Hockey, I couldn't politic my way through.
Well, tell you one kid to quit dragging ass and get work.
Sorry, Dean, I know you're trying to talk.
No, I just, it's true.
Party evaluators, screw me.
Can't allow that sort of thing in the house.

Was it a cock and balls?
For a good time,
Cal Susie.
That's not art.
That's vandalism, son.
Anywho,
baseball, you know what?
Your kids are going to be outside playing baseball.
You know, before you know it.
They've grown out of the damn cleats.
Yeah, they do.
They just keep growing.
The good news is adrenaline source of sports is here for you.
They've been here since 2007.
They just keep crushing.
Preseason clearance on baseball and softball equipment at adrenaline source for sports.
You're going to save between 20 and 50% on select items in store.
Now selection is going to vary, obviously, between the store.
You got baseball, fast pitch, footwear, 20 to 50% off.
Baseball, fast pitch, slow pitch, bats, 20 to 40% off.
Batting gloves, helmets, protection, 20 to 40% off.
You got your gloves.
You're going to need a glove out there.
You're going to save up to 30%.
Long of this guy taking cuts.
That's all with Casey, the Maple Dinger.
Let's go.
Like Casey up to bat?
Yeah, he played at the WBC, big slugger.
Nice.
That's the hit tracks technology at the Northland location in a batting cage.
Take some bats in there, get a feel for it.
Feel good when you're walking out the door, you know what you got in your hand?
You feel good about it.
A demo bat blow out up to 50% off off the original MSRP at the Northland location.
That cage is unreal at the Northland location.
We stumbled in one day.
I'm like, we could try them before we buy them?
Hell yeah.
Awesome.
North location, the Northland Village Mall,
South location, 9309, McLeod Trail.
They've been there since 07.
Whatever it is you need to get done.
Adrenaline source for sports.
Not just talking, Dino.
They got it all in there.
Ringette.
I've got a, I've had a ringette player for a long time.
Cross gear sports.
The cross is in there yesterday.
That's all right, eh?
Mm-hmm.
More gear for which Lugan, one, two, or three.
If one goes, they all seem to walk out with.
You can't pick your favorite in public.
I know how that goes.
I was looking.
So what's the Jason Robertson contract situation with Dallas?
He's got one more year.
RFA this summer.
RFA this summer.
So you could say, oh, he's an R.
We got all this control.
Well, he's a year away from UFA.
And so if things get dicey, he'll just go to Arb, take a one-year deal,
and walk to free agency.
So they basically have to figure out.
I think they like him.
He's not a perfect player.
He's left off Team USA.
The foot speeds,
never anything that's been special,
but he just finishes and scores a ton of goals.
And you got rantin and make a 12, I believe.
Are you going to just,
does Robo get more?
Does Robo want to stay in Dallas for less?
Because he'd get more on the open market
with the way the cap's grown.
He just scores goals.
Only 40 so far this year.
Hey, Zeus.
Yeah.
quiet, just 40 every year when he's healthy,
not every year, but three times already.
Holy, pretty durable.
I was going through the notes this morning and looking at it.
He's, you just look at the points that he puts up.
It's four consecutive 80 point seasons.
Like only Madano has done that in team.
There's a lot of things that now he is accomplishing.
That's among the best to have done it in the North Stars slash slash stars
franchise and he's a pop he's 26 years old.
Yeah, you got to lock him in long term.
This is the big max term deal.
If he's a guy you keep, I think why they kind of were so cautious and
careful around the deadline is they didn't want to make a move that would
limit their ability to sign him in this off season because it is going to be a huge
number.
And he isn't a perfect player, but he's the hardest thing to do is what he's best at.
And that's scoring goals.
got to be opportunistic, Rhett.
Not Rhett?
I said that's been there today.
Cooper Williams.
Yeah.
It was like Red on the third man in on that goal.
He scored on, what's his name there?
We saw that Cliff.
Flahherty.
Wade.
Well, wader.
Cover the puck, Wade.
Rattan is making 12.
He's in for a, I mean, he's in until 2033.
Do you get the sense that, sorry, Dino,
kind of walk in either, but do you get the sense
the guys that are?
in Dallas
want to stay in Dallas?
Seems.
I would want to, I think.
They've got a good team.
I mean, they've locked up everyone
of Sub Robertson to this point.
I believe they've already paid Harley.
They've got Johnston.
Group A. Hince is in.
Wyatt Johnston, 8.4.
That's a deal already. And he's
22.
So he's in.
And on the back end,
Hayskinnan.
Steel. That's theft.
8.4 for three more seasons. Lindell is signed.
Harley is signed. Harley's deal kicks in next year.
I didn't really ask.
Nick four right now.
10.5.
Yeah. And if you're going to be a guy that goes to the Olympics, that's probably the
going right. Like he, I don't think he's having a great year.
But when we watched him step into four nations last year, you'd heard a lot of the
numbers nerd saying this guy's really good. And then team Canada brings me like,
whoa, he can do everything. And he's big. And then he took off.
Yes.
When he got back after the four nations.
This year hasn't been the same after the Olympics.
He's a pop too, though.
Maybe it's down here either way.
But yeah, Hayskinon is a, he's a stud.
Remember last year they missed him for a good chunk?
He broke his leg or whatever midway point of the season.
He's got 62 points, 25 minutes a night, does it all.
He might be the most complete defenseman in the league in terms of like,
You might not get the points that the McCarar Werenski, Bouchard, crew get.
Yeah, Dahlene, I'd put in that group.
I mean, I don't know where to put Quinn Hughes because I think he is pretty good in his own zone.
But like he does everything big minutes.
It's not running a power play that makes him special.
Yeah.
This is if you're Robertson, are you the guy going to the GM and saying, I want it all?
Because I don't know that anyone did that, even Rantan.
Yeah, Rantan was asking for 14 in Dallas and a couple months later.
he signs for, from Colorado, and then a couple months later, he signs for 12 in Dallas.
And, you know, there's, there's tax advantages there.
I would expect that if this will get done and it won't be what he would get on the open market,
especially considering it's in a year.
So your term limits drop after September 15, the longest you can sign a guy,
seven years for your own team, six for a UFA.
Like, you can still do well on total dollars signing a big one this summer and it being under market.
Just looking like, obviously, Maverick Bork is a guy.
24, he's starting to come on a little bit for them.
Is there any strategy to selling him just as a strategy play?
I mean, we looked at those numbers.
Yes, please.
I take that all day, every day.
But if you're the stars, is there a strategy to move on them because of what you can get back?
I feel like it's a tough spot because they're kind of in their window to win right now.
You look at it and it's like Wyatt is absolutely entered his prime.
You've got ropey in his prime.
You've still got Jamie Ben there contributing.
like this is the time to win.
And so if you're moving out a guy scoring 40,
I don't know that you're going to get that back.
And which team's going to make that deal with you?
It feels like a lateral move for both teams in a way, right?
It'd be easier if it was like, okay, windows closed.
We'll trade this guy.
But no, they're right in it here.
Unless you think if we've now got Wyatt Johnston, who's a 40 goal guy,
Jason Robertson was our 40 goal guy.
Can we spin this guy into a defenseman?
Right.
Shot D. Yeah. And a supplementary piece up front because you're because you're yeah, you got Rupé, you've got you got enough weapons you would think up front. But yeah. And I think that's what they mold over. I don't want to say mold over. But if they if they were going to do that, you could have done that at the deadline and said, look, we're going to lose a little scoring, but we're going to add a legit right shot D. Because as it stands right now, it's Lundkvist Lubbushkin Myers on the right side behind Aiskin. You can do better than that. They could use one more top four right shot guy.
they have made the West Conference final in each of the last three years
in the last 40 only Colorado from 99 to 02
like those elite Hall of Fame
Wausat like those teams and Detroit from 95 to 98
made it four straight
four straight years to the to the conference five yeah we looked at
Florida they just did three in a row and it's like the miles they put on
they're cooked everyone's like oh
those teams that played in the final, they're banged up.
Well, yeah, well, they only played sort of five to seven more games of the teams of the conference
while Dallas.
You know, they played a lot of games.
They had a lot of Olympians.
Segan gone for the year.
They can use that money, but it feels like.
You know, right?
Do it now.
When you hear those two teams and retro week kind of reminisce about those, not to say
the Hall of Famers and you start going through those lists like Colorado and Detroit, Lidstrom,
Eism, Shannon.
do we the stars are one run to the final four away from being in that class yeah
Colorado had some wins Detroit had some wins Dallas is not one is that the only thing
that keeps us from seeing them in that say because I don't know that I see them in that
that same lens those two like those Colorado Detroit teams were almost all time well I don't
know if they had the list of it was pre-cap right so you could load up teams more than you can
now you couldn't have afforded to squeeze all those guys on the abs and
wings under a cap in the way the league works now.
But I mean, like, what's, are we going to look back at why Johnson's crew at the end and be like,
wow, Hall of Famer? Like, maybe he's done a lot real quick. So are we close to treading towards
the San Jose sharks with the Marlowe Thornton? These guys can't win. They get to the playoffs,
win a round, win two rounds. Not yet, but. Because I would think if you're in Dallas,
sorry, right? If you're in Dallas,
if you
you have to win now.
Yeah. If you
you've made it through three straight final
conference finals.
I,
yes, and I think that probably the people in Dallas
or the fans of Dallas are going, we have one hell of a
team. What is Ottinger?
Yeah, it's funny because we saw him at his best.
Because the last time we referred to him as a
superstar goal. Because we, yeah, we saw a play that.
70, 970 in a seven-game series.
That's almost unbeatable.
It's incredible what he did against Calgary in 22.
And then every year since they've gone to the conference final, it's...
And they still lost that series.
Exactly.
And so when they look at Ottinger, they probably look at a lot of those other series.
Fans of Calgary are like, oh, man, Ottinger.
What a style.
But we saw the best he ever looked.
That was the best seven games of his life, I bet.
It's interesting.
It was Noodles, who was kind of one of the first ones to bring it up.
Maybe last year, it was a while ago, talking about Ottinger.
I was like, how's their goaltending?
It's like, well, they got Ottinger.
It was like, oh, maybe.
Odinger was in net the last time they played,
22 saves shot out against Winnipeg.
Prior to that, allowed four to Boston.
He allowed three on 12.
I think he made nine saves and one against Pittsburgh in the game before that.
Four on eight shots against the Devils was good against the Islanders,
but lost.
It's, I don't know.
You know what he's missing?
a signature series because the one we talked about,
they lost in game seven overtime when Johnny scored.
And he's been outduled by Pickard and Skinner,
the last two springs.
That's not a vibe.
He needs to have a heroic performance,
whether it be Colorado or even Minnesota in round one,
or if they get to a conference final,
that's where he's going to start moving into the,
oh, look at this guy's resume.
Like he's just missing that.
The whole team is.
They're just missing that trip to the dance.
They've been so close.
Yeah, just looking at his
At his newest.
But that's the one spot.
That's the one soft spot on the, on the stop, isn't it?
I mean, right side D, but I would agree.
Like, I think Audra has it in him, but he hasn't done it yet, right?
Yeah, like last year, I mean, you go back to R, he was great against this.
That's a long time ago now.
Well, it feels like here.
Yeah.
You're right.
Pickard and Skinner out dualed him.
Twice.
Twice.
Like, and the coach sold him down the river.
like you're the shits basically
yeah so we should maybe read more into
deborre's
and how that all unfolded
not that it's right or wrong
but there's something there
yeah handle it differently for sure
you just don't air it publicly that was the issue
of that one deborre wasn't wrong like
scoli wasn't good enough you got beat by pickard
and skinner last year a 905
save percentage in the in the postseason the year
before that 915.
You still have to win.
Do the Calgary.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
9.54.
In snub in games.
Jeez.
But again, didn't win.
No.
Didn't win.
Hey, that team was not what they are now.
That was pre-Wyatt.
A lot of these, Harley was hadn't arrived yet.
You're now, like, that was a what?
Wild card against a one seed?
This is a team now that is expected.
to get at least to the conference final
and fans will be disappointed if they don't get to a final.
They're in the window of like,
don't just be to your point,
a shark's team that was really good for a long time.
Go get a banner.
Yeah.
I guess what I mean is in that market within those walls,
Jim Nill's been there forever now
after being in Detroit for forever.
But it's kind of, kind of patient.
Although the, I mean, you can go get rantin and you go get ranton.
And he's, I guess if you do that,
you can't be considered patient, but
patience runs out in some
because we're seeing it. Teams are firing their GMs and coaches
with two weeks left in the season.
The wild will be no fun in round one.
No.
No fun at all.
That's the scary part is that they're going to get, if they
could very easily lose that series.
Yeah. And you'll need to be level-headed about it.
But if you go from three conference finals and then a round one
bounce.
Put it through this filter.
Like let's say,
Jason Robertson, for whatever reason, the puck's not going in.
He's hitting posts.
He has an okay series, not great.
They lose to Minnesota.
Does that change how you approach, how you built your team?
Like, does all of a sudden, Robertson hit the market?
I wonder if he's, I mean, what a great chip for Jim Nill to have, just have, right?
Like, you can move your, move you whenever I want for a massive return.
I've got a star or breaking case of emergency.
I don't know what the right move is in that.
circumstance, but
playoffs might tell us this year.
They lose the first round and they want to make a change.
Yeah.
Easy enough to do.
Totally.
You're not going to drop back the same team if you've got Robertson on the table.
You're going to be able to get some very interesting pieces.
They moved out to Stancoven and two firsts for Rantan.
So they were a team with one of the top pipelines in the NHL, but Stancovin goes out,
Bork has graduated onto the roster, Harley's no longer a prospect.
All of a sudden, it's like, okay.
a lot of kids coming now.
This is the window.
They're still so young that it's not,
you know what I mean?
There's a difference.
Yeah, but it's like this is the group is what I'm saying.
Oh, for sure.
There's no,
no knight in shining armor that's just a year away from arrive.
Like, this is your crew.
And I wonder why,
if that maybe is part of the equation with why Robertson hasn't been done yet.
And if,
and just a reminder,
if they get past Minnesota,
what's waiting for them around two potentially?
The best team in the NHO.
Colorado,
Is that how it goes?
The top three teams in the West are all in the same division and we'll play each other in rounds one and two.
I thought it receded.
No, you stay in division.
This is the format Gary loves that a lot of people have an issue with.
I like getting rivalsry more, but it is weird when you see teams that would be out of the playoffs in the East winning the Pacific.
Like, come on.
The rivalries are developed because of playoff.
No, I know.
I just mean, I understand why Gary does it.
It's a revenue thing.
The reason Gary does it because of the time changes.
That's the reason he does it.
You think it's not revenue?
I think everything the league does is a revenue.
Like,
you can charge more driven by the time change
because then he can schedule out for the,
for the,
for the whoever's covering the series,
you can stage it so that you're having different times.
So you've got the East games and the West,
like they're all different.
That's why the revenue matters.
It's not that you're getting more revenue
because Dallas is playing Minnesota.
No, but there are instances like that.
Like if you're, if the Leafs and Habs play in the playoffs,
that's going to cost more than them playing any other teams.
Edmonton, Calgary, same thing.
If you have Anaheim, LA more.
But our games, they're going to be.
Of course, they're sold out.
It's just the secondary market.
Like when teams get to cut all that resale stuff off ticket master,
whoever their ticket providers.
They make more money.
But why can they play each other in the other scenario?
If you can, they're less often.
They're forced to play.
other under this current format.
And Gary says it.
You get more rival on rival in the playoffs.
Gary says it, but I don't buy everything that Gary fucking tells us.
So the fact that you're saying, because Gary says it's true, it's true.
No, I just know that I'd spend more to watch an Euler Slams game than I would.
Calgary.
Yeah, but you're just making something up.
There's no reason.
The format makes it more.
It's not the wrong example.
But like Calgary, Minnesota or Calgary, Edmonton, which games do the Flames?
Why do you know for fact that it works out better?
that way. Because they play
41 home games a year, and
it's the same four or five games that always
are the toughest ticket, the highest
price. You're
missing the point completely. I don't
understand how your math, and I'm
open to, I would like to understand
why you think Calgary
plays Edmonton more often
in this format as opposed to a
1-8 format. Because if they're
both in the playoffs, they're more likely to collide
being in the same division. If they're out of division,
sorry, if it's a 1-8, they might not
meet at all or they could maybe meet in a conference final if they both get there,
there's a higher probability of rivals meeting under the current format that if you ceded
one through eight. Comparative to what? Like I'm not even being a day one day versus the
divisional playoff. I understand how I understand what you're saying, but it's not zero to a hundred.
No, that's right. It's just more. It's a better chance. It isn't like zero versus it's not on off.
Yeah, I agree with that. And I do think you have a point with the scheduling stuff. That makes sense too.
it's frustrating when you get lopsided divisions.
I just think.
Like we saw Toronto that was the squeaky wheel the last few years
because they always ran into Boston,
Tampa, Florida, and you're like, geez,
like, why can't we play someone in the metro?
Like, we'd love to play Washington, please.
And it doesn't feel fair.
And I get that.
But I just understand that the league always does
what's best for making money in their mind,
and they seem to think this is the best formula.
This is the one,
this would be one year where if you were dead set against it and you wanted to lobby a case that you could taking the central in the Pacific,
because one team is going to come out of the top three in the Pacific and one team's going to come out in the top three from the central.
Gross.
And maybe we'll be wrong, but by the time round three hits, I feel like one team's going to have an easier path.
No question.
Yeah.
It's to the point where I almost don't write off Utah to come out of the Pacific.
They're going to be wild card one.
look at the Pacific winner.
Like if Utah plays Anaheim or Edmonton and Leon apparently might not be ready for the start of a series,
like you could have, you know, three central teams and one Pacific left after round one.
Yeah.
We can argue it.
Renfrew Chrysler, 1920 pump house road in the southwest when it comes.
You could use a Rams sport today.
Just put on the auton, four-wheel drive.
You don't even need to worry about it.
Ram Sport.
Renfrew doesn't just compete.
They lead.
The 60K sport, widely known as Canada's best deal in a RAM sport,
and that's just the start.
Renfrew was recently named the number one Stalantus dealership in Canada
for most new vehicle sales.
That is serious volume.
One of the largest inventories in the country,
including a strong lineup of Jeep Compass models that are priced to move.
You've got no shortage of options, big selection, big energy,
and a team that knows how to close out a win when it matters.
That is Renfrew Chrysler.
Online Renfrewcrisler.com.
located at 1920
Pump House Road in the southwest.
The Rams sport.
That's what you had a few
Rams in your day, haven't you, Dino?
Sure, shit you.
Get the hemie in there, Jack?
You ever, you ever had a hammy?
No.
What's a hammy?
I'm going to love the hemmy.
Tell me about it.
It's hard to go back after the hemmy.
The hemmy.
Yep.
That thing got a hemmy?
we'll talk about it after the show, Jack.
It's not really important right now.
Not super important.
I wanted to show a little something.
Again, this goes back to last week or whenever, like when did baseball start?
Pinder, you were away, I think, right?
It was the last Wednesday that started.
So, um, yeah, it doesn't really matter to Wednesdays, sorry.
But I mean, this is a Yankee thing, but I don't even, I think you could be a Yankee
hater and still appreciate it.
Perfect.
Appreciate this.
Weather situation is much worse at gravity.
Larry?
Hey, Michael.
I'm trying to get the Yankee game.
How do I get it?
Larry, the game's about to start.
Yeah, I know.
I want to watch it, and I can't get it.
It's easy.
There's nothing to it.
Maybe for you, but I have trouble with this stuff.
Just saying to the remote, watch the Yankees on Yes Network.
I'm talking to the remote, it sounds like an idiot.
Well, then you're not going to be able to watch the game.
All right, fine.
Okay, I won't watch it.
I'll play Mahjong.
I don't care.
What are you too cool from Majan?
Listen, here's what you need to do.
Hold up your remote to the phone.
Hold up to a remote to the phone.
Watch the Yankees on Yes Network.
Hey, it's going to be on. You did it.
This is a game tomorrow. Can I call you?
I'm not doing it again, Larry, goodbye.
Michael, wait a second. I need 10 tickets for next Friday.
Hey, Michael! Michael!
Michael!
Say yes to the best Yankees coverage on Yes Network and the Gotham Sports app.
Michael!
I love that.
I like the,
did you see the URL?
The URL, yeah.
Yes,
Network slash don't ask.
Don't ask Larry.
What are you?
You too cool for mahjong?
Ah, good stuff.
Excellent.
Good.
Why are they showing this?
Guido.
Don't be,
you know what?
Don't be fucking pissy,
Guido,
because it's fucking funny,
all right?
It's hilarious.
You know what?
Just,
hey,
you too cool for me?
Mahjong?
Quito?
Don't be a douchebag.
You ever set foot in a mahjong den?
Do you know?
No.
Lots of opium den.
You have?
Not majean.
No, no.
I just see all the old hens doing it.
Go down and visit the grandparents and they got mahjong tournaments.
You're like, what is going on here?
Is that like one of those bath houses, massage?
No, very different than that.
It's quite boring.
Thought your mom was going.
You don't know, your grandma goes to those, did you say?
Jesus.
What'd you say?
Mahjong.
Off track.
We're off track betting.
I was going to say something, but I forget what it was.
I hate when that happens.
Yeah, that's all right.
Did you watch any hockey last night?
I watched the Saskatoon Blades.
Oh, right.
Big, we're going to hide.
Cooper Williams.
You want to see the winner?
I'd love to see the winner.
I think it's 19, Jack.
Are we allowed to?
Yeah.
Did you want to, uh, you want to say it?
You want to do it or?
Well, it's up to you.
Let's do it.
So game seven, oil kings against blades,
winner moves on, loser goes home.
Rhett?
Big controversy after the last game, game six.
Cooper Williams scored with like 17 seconds left to tie it,
double overtime, chinty penalty on the blades.
Oil King's score on the PP.
That sends us to game seven, which needed overtime.
The line, Levindosky.
Levinosky threw traffic deflected scores.
Rowan Calvert tips it home and the Saskatoon Blades.
Jesus jerseys.
We'll take home game seven of Reward play goal.
Someone was noting this on the internets and I have to agree.
You don't have the winning team goal call.
That sucks.
Yeah, you're trying to save money, but you can send the broadcaster on the road for the game seven.
Come on.
Oh, Les would be there.
But this is just the...
Yeah, this is the TV thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, fair.
Yeah, there you go.
Edmonton took the lead late.
Cooper Williams tied it with, what, three left?
No, it was not, I think it was late.
Edmonton scored with like just under six minutes left,
and within a minute, Cooper Williams came back and tied it.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, so Edmonton had a late lead.
I think this was the three-six matchup?
Yes, it was.
That's the only upset in the first round of the WHO playoffs.
And that means the hitman will play medicine hat,
which will be a ton of fun in wayless travel,
then going to PA who are the top team in the East Division.
And it also features a bunch of flames prospects,
Andrew Basha, Axel Hurtig,
and you get the medicine hat
and the Calgary divisional rivalry going.
That'll be fun.
I really better play my kid or I'm going to have to raise him hell.
Right.
That's, yeah, that's right.
How's he playing?
Is he been playing?
You played any games?
I hate penalties in overtime.
I didn't see the penalty.
I didn't either.
Maybe it was egregious.
I just hate it.
it when you see power.
Unless it's an absolute scoring and even then,
was he going to score?
Yeah.
I'm with you.
When you see power play up in the corner,
you're like, oh, was it a bad show?
Isn't that the first thing that you think of,
oh, it's too bad.
Too bad it couldn't have been five on five.
That's too bad.
Well, even Kupapalup last night was pissed off at the officials in Buffalo.
Can you put up whistles away?
Yeah.
My sakes, people are here to watch us play.
We've got two stud teams going at it.
We had some rough stuff.
And now we're just pedally, pedally, penalty, penalty, penalty, penalty, penalty, penalty.
Can I tell you something?
Riffs are idiots.
Oh, boy.
They're idiots.
So dumb.
Sorry, I shouldn't say that, but he just.
So dumb.
Sit up.
Just a shorzy deal.
It's the schick.
I got a stick.
I know. He mentioned it yesterday, so we have to give ourselves props.
We're very good at patting ourselves in the back.
The Kings went to overtime again. Easy cash, if you followed on that.
Un-effing.
Unbelievable.
Overtime was electric, but no one could score.
And then it went to a shootout where I believe Anton Forsberg stopped all three.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's taking the job away from Kemper.
I was going to say, we can talk about it when we get into the Pinner report.
It's Kemper has allowed 15 goals in the last three games.
Forsberg, 29 stops.
I don't know if you're going to see Kemper again the rest of the year
if these are must wins.
Like I haven't looked at their schedule, but unless it's a back-to-back,
I'd just keep rolling Forsberg.
He's been the man lately.
He is awful in the fall.
Smith was asked about it.
He's, oh, you know, Forresey's playing great.
And every goal he's giving us a chance to win.
Every game is must win.
Well, they got five left or whatever it is.
Five.
And they got a one-point edge on Nashville.
They will not get in on a tie break because they've got so many loser points.
points. Regulation wins of the first tie break.
Regulation.
Someone who went out.
What's that?
Anyone going to win out down there in the bottom?
In the West?
Can the Jets get five in a row?
Get them to 90 points?
I haven't looked at the Jets schedule.
I just don't think any of these teams you're like, wow, they're going to reel out.
Like it looks like a turtle derby here.
No one's really running hard.
It's not like Philly in the East where it's like, wow, look at how good they're playing.
Boston in the East had a nice run.
Montreal's been scorching.
The Jets have they're in St. Louis, home to the Flyers in Vegas, in Utah, home to the sharks.
That last game of the year could be something.
Could be.
You got L.A. in Calgary and you could have sharks and jets.
Wow.
And the Kings forever, you know, we can walk through.
What the hell?
Why not?
Why not?
Kings are home to the Canucks Oilers in Seattle, in Vancouver.
in Calgary. So they end with a three game trip.
They've got a nice schedule.
Seattle's been awful. Vancouver twice. Seattle once.
It was the no good. Flames in the last night and the oilers in there as well.
Look at Nashville's if you're Nashville.
Well, you're pulling it up. It's the only team we haven't mentioned there, I think.
They're in Anaheim, this eve. They move on to Utah, home to the wild sharks and ducks.
So the ducks twice, sharks once.
Well, you want to play the sharks.
Ducks haven't been great lately.
They've let that nice cushion over Edmonton disappear entirely.
You can look there now in second.
This sked tonight is awesome.
Is it?
I know we've said it a few times like this.
The sked tonight, and we'll go through it in the Pinder report, I'm sure.
But there are teams that need wins and a lot of head-to-hand against other teams that absolutely need wins.
And for some is maybe not life and death.
like Tampa's playing Tampa's got they're tied with Buffalo after last night and they've got a game and all that sort of thing.
But there's not many, again, we give Gary shit that you sit here with five games or so left for all these teams and a lot of these games are important.
And not only do you have great hockey tonight, boys, it's also Tuesday.
Oh, let's do it.
Taco Tuesday with
Taco Time.
$2 beef or veggie tacos.
You want the, you want the,
you want some rice in there?
You want the beef?
You want some to refri it?
You want some to refri it?
Unlimited, as many as you can eat.
Two bucks.
Come on.
We talked about burritoful Thursday.
Buy one, get one on Thursdays.
Doesn't mean you can't do burritos today.
You want to do burritos.
You can do burritos, but you get the deal.
The buy one, get one is on Thursday.
But for today,
Taco Tuesday.
I got my appetite back.
Did you read it?
Just in time.
Good for you.
I was, uh, I like you.
When the burrito showed up, what, two weeks ago?
We can have a go to.
When we got into those, uh, the Mexicans.
Oh, with the dip.
Oh, is right.
I almost made some of those tater toddy things, but I didn't dip.
Maxi fries.
And you say they're making all those sauces in house.
I like that.
That's taco shells, taco chips, salad bowls, the hot,
sauce sauces, even the Diablo they're making in store.
If Jack was any kind of friend.
Seriously.
What, what's that?
Right, probably stop by, take care of a sick buddy that's been down and out,
a month long of pain.
Not the same guy he owes a lasagna too?
I wonder if it's strike that out.
Pizas, lasagna, whatever.
I mean, yeah, pretty quiet.
Let's do his own, though.
Pretty quiet in the other hand.
I'd be quiet too.
Taco Time Canada.com is the website.
find the one nearest you.
And when I saw that,
okay, well, I know what I'm doing.
I got the,
ah, we're home for dinner tonight.
Yes.
Bingo.
130th.
130th.
130th half is real close to Mike.
Did you end up going the one?
You kind of gave them the heads up.
You were leaving the studio last week.
You got to give him, hey,
jacotatat.
1.30th.
I'm on my way.
Put the order in.
Put the order.
Let's go.
Taco Tuesday.
Two bucks.
Be forbid.
tacos unlimited as many as you can eat.
Don't sleep in Al-Croncho either.
You're still there for you.
Yeah, like should that be a challenge type situation
where as many as you can eat?
Like when I hear that,
trying to say something to me?
I don't know that I'm going to go to any sort of eating event
if rats in attendance. It's like taking a knife to a gunfight.
You know, watch this guy, nuke wings.
Like, there's no chance anyone's eating more tacos than rat.
Do you know what?
One of my favorite picture memories, you know,
you get the, on this day.
is that dumbass that ate the ghost pepper wings?
And then we did a, was it a pound of them?
The hottest of the hot wings.
They were grossly hot.
Oh, and we did the hot wing contest.
Yes.
And then Dean ridiculed him into doing it again.
And then he ended up in the shower all night.
Oh, boy.
I don't know if I ridicule.
He was ready to do it.
Oh, you did.
that guy.
He just needed a gentle nudge.
Oh, that was no problem.
I could do it again.
Bullshit, you could do it again.
Oh, no, no, there was nothing.
All right, big boy, let's feel.
I'll tell you, the washers at that establishment
during that campaign, which I think was 2019,
I think it was Flames Ave's round one,
and we were doing this wing stuff at the same time.
The washroom was a war zone.
They couldn't get them off in there enough.
It was just, whew, pain in there.
Pain.
What was happening?
Was there?
all ends.
No one happy. Everything burning.
And then you'd have the guys that were doing okay,
but then they didn't wash your hands properly.
That doesn't go well either.
Not ideal.
Brett muted himself and he doesn't know.
Chris Gratton.
Wow.
Just text.
Really?
Overrated.
Is he happy about the Sabres or what?
Is he saying I was overrated?
He knows.
He was, actually, he wasn't overrated.
He just.
was like, fuck it. I got all the money now.
So what do I do. Yeah. He was one of those
guys kind of like your
buddy Rob Niedermeyer. One of those guys
that I'm 6'4,
220, chiseled.
These scouts just
dream about guys like me. I was a first
round pick. I'm not
really very good. But I'm going to
play forever. Teams are going to trade
for me. They're going to pay me because they think
they're going to unlock me. Little did they know.
He might have been the first guy
to get the big signing
bonus attempt.
You know what I mean?
The free, I think,
because he was in Tampa Bay, got drafted
to Tampa, a very high pick.
Yeah.
And then he signed
that deal.
Yeah.
It was, it's not a
free agent deal.
It's an offer sheet.
Did he sign an offer sheet?
I believe it was an offer sheet.
Yeah.
Chris Grattan,
6.3, 220.
Oh, he was
perfect for that era.
for that era.
Big centermen could skate and move.
Drafted by Tampa.
Then went to Philly.
Then back to Tampa.
Then to Buffalo.
Then to Phoenix.
To Colorado.
To Florida.
Back to Tampa.
To Columbus to end it.
It's just every team is like,
yeah,
we can figure out.
We'll figure out.
Yeah, flyers off your sheet.
It's 62 points.
He was a good player.
Yeah, he had 96, 97 year.
Like that's, that's, 62 points back to back years.
Look at that.
62 points, 200 pimps.
Yeah.
30 goals, 22 goes to, wow.
Oh, she's 7. 14.
This guy's no good.
Oh, 19. 50.
All right.
Here we're 11.2.
Oh, 17.
He did just enough to kind of maybe there.
Oh, maybe.
It's got some Anthony Manta vibes.
I know he's more physical than Manta, but big boys.
that can score will always get more chances.
So he was texting you.
Yeah, he texts me. Nice.
Seemed like a nice guy.
Great guy.
Tons. Yeah.
Nice.
I could only think about tacos right now.
Yeah, that's your fault.
And Taco Time to be sure.
I blame Taco Time.
I can think about Chris Gratt and him driving and we had to pull over to get gas.
And someone peed right outside the door at the gas station and then the cop.
King.
Not a great idea.
Five years,
16 and a half million on that offer sheet.
And at that time,
huge money.
Huge.
So they actually matched the offer sheet and then
made a trade and that's how Renberg and
Dykhouse goes.
Dykhouse, that's right.
Carl.
DiKhouse.
Remberg also a big boy that could score.
Holy.
Renberg?
Jack.
Michael Renberg, the lesser known of the three
on the line known as?
No idea.
That's right.
The Legion of Doom.
It's because you were dead.
Was I dead?
Were you dead when...
He was dead.
What you were you born, Jack?
98.
Bramberg, Eric Lindross, John Leclair, the Legion of Doom.
That would have been some great Pittsburgh Philly rivalries back then, too, Jack,
which we're hoping for four in round one for your boys, for Dan Mann.
Different type of rivalry.
Because Pittsburgh, Mario Rekh, Francis.
Yeah.
More of a skilly.
Coffee.
They were more cerebral, right?
It wasn't a rough and tumble.
It was...
Philadelphia, we're a smash mouth.
Let's go.
Fight.
I hated that Legion of Doom.
That first year we played them in the playoffs.
Oh, my God.
We beat him game one in the old Philly Spectrum.
And game two, it was Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
like renberg and lindross and who was it
it was just
pack stick up in the air
cross check here eat my twig
it was unbelievable
that was for idiots
still
idiots for a while apparently
now right what was the
uh john leclair story with your dad wasn't there
a uh my dad's an idiot
a lot today
my dad drafted John Leclair instead of you flesh of blood and John Leclair was hurt all year didn't put up a point retro put up 19 would have won him the championships
fantasy hockey back in the day pools what you would have called him back in the gym all you had to do was pick your own kid okay cool well yeah
you ever forgive him for that red or no not really he's pissed me off lately what year would that have been
Like it's 30.
It's the year I scored 19.
Go find the year.
Leclair had zero.
Yeah, I don't know that LeCler ever had zero.
Now, didn't, didn't you cross-reference this and you were off?
Wasn't this?
Yeah.
You know, I've been given my dad shit for 35 years.
It turns out.
I'm going to re-go look at the John LaClear.
John Leclair was part of that Habs team in 93 that had all those overtime wins and won the cup.
That was the Patty Roy dominant playoff run.
And
how did Montreal
say goodbye to this guy?
What do you?
He played the following season
and then in 94-95 traded to Philly
with Eric Desjardin
And Gilbert Dillon
Albert he played in Florida
for Mark Recky
and a third round pick
And then John Leclair
In his first that half a season
or 37 games,
goals, then scored 51, 50, and 51.
Then 43, then 40.
Just a power forward for the ages.
Ride and shotgun with Eric Lindross and Renberg.
Would you compare him to Ginnla Retro or a little bit different?
Because they're both just big.
Like, LeClair is probably bigger, but he could score it.
He was tough.
Like he was tough.
He'd play physical enough, but he wouldn't fight.
He wasn't a fighter.
But he was just a, yeah, he was a load.
50 goals.
And next year I'm going to score 50.
Yep.
But we are taking nothing away from John Leclair.
Oh, my camera's now.
Camera zoom.
Yeah.
What was I saying?
Cameroman, zoom it.
Not taking anything away from John Leclair.
He played with Lindros.
People forget how good Lindross was.
He was an absolute menace on the ice.
He was a man child.
And when he was healthy.
A absolute menace.
It was getting up out of the way because he's coming.
freight train.
Yeah.
Like,
it feels like,
and I don't know,
like the rinks are the same size.
If he came into the league today,
would he be able to do it with the speed?
No.
He wouldn't be able to, right?
Here's what I said this before.
Here's,
it goes back further than the league.
We know we talk NHL,
but the reason that he wouldn't survive
is because at a younger age,
those idiot refs would put him in a penalty box
for the whole fucking game.
And so he would never get on the ice.
Coach,
Benjamin, you're too rough.
You're done.
Out of here.
It's a different game.
It's a different game.
But the rafts haven't changed.
Still idiots.
You talk about a man child, like Chris Graddra, 6-4-230.
Like Eric Lindross was a beast for the time he was like 14, 15 years old.
I remember him coming to Saskatoon for the world juniors.
And it was like, holy shit, look at this guy.
Yeah.
I think I found the year your dad didn't draft you in your hockey pool.
Okay.
2000, 2001.
I was awesome that year.
Leclair had 12 points.
He only played 16 games.
Retro had 19.
7 point gap.
Your old man lost it by less than 7.
That's why you hire nerds, folks.
DUG.
Enjoy your popcorn, Doug.
Fellas, it's a Pinda Report for Village Honda where the big buy-in is back.
They got two million bucks.
and they want your car.
Any make, any model, any year.
They're doing complimentary appraisal.
Maybe you've got an expiring lease,
an extra set of wheels hanging around.
Get up to Village Honda.
You make a deal.
They're going to pay you in 24 hours.
No dragging their feet.
Not like Dean on Kijiji trying to renegotiate.
You shake hands.
You get your money in 24 hours.
I'm not that guy.
You better not be that guy.
There's a lot of those guys out there.
There's a lot of those guys out there.
VillageHonda.com to start the complimentary appraisal process.
Let us get.
to Flames Nation where it is a game day.
Gagrey and Dallas, as you noted,
they played the stars twice.
They have a shootout victory,
and they have a lopsided loss.
It was November 22nd.
They lost three to two.
Casey DeSmith.
Sorry, the flames went three to two in the shootout.
Casey DeSmith in net, Cooley for the Flames.
And then it was a bit of a beat down March 3rd.
We were hanging out at the dome with some pals that night.
I think Destin Wolf got some of the action,
six pass.
Everyone got to play that night.
De Smith was in.
He's played both games for the stars against the flames.
They might have a full season series with no Ottinger.
We'll see how tonight goes.
So right, Ryan, can I just jump in quickly?
Please do.
And I know it's a Pender Report, but I forgot to bring this up and we were talking about
Robertson and I don't know if we've done our bet three six five picks yet.
Mm-hmm.
Jason Robertson.
Torches the Flames.
Has a 13-game point streak versus Calgary.
So he probably was out the March 3rd game guessing, but he probably was out the March 3rd game
guessing.
He was one.
Yeah, I don't know which.
It's one and one in the November game.
22 points in 13 games.
All in a.
So does it feel like at any time Jason Robertson goal is?
Or you can hit the two points.
You can go chase shots.
It's all there for you at Bet365.
Do you know?
I like that intel, though.
I do.
You're welcome.
Sam Steele had the big night, March 30.
He had two goals and a helper.
Jamie Ben had a pair of points.
Wyatt Johnston, goal and an assist as well.
Rupa Hintz was, he scored in the November game,
but he's been out a while, as you noted.
We'll take a look at the stars line up in a moment.
Over to Flames Nation, see what the writers are writing about
or getting AI to write for them, Pike.
What?
What to expect from the final six games of the season?
I'm kidding.
Pike always writes.
I doubt it.
It's probably AI.
Six left. That's it.
Three on the road to close a six game,
roadie and then three at home a home stand to finish.
It is Dallas, Colorado, Seattle, on the road, and then home for Utah, Colorado, L.A.
Could mean everything for L.A. in game 82.
Could be a nothing game.
We'll see.
They've been awful on the road.
They've been quite good at home.
Over 600 points percentage on home ice and around 300, the worst in the NHL in the road.
We'll see you if those trends continue with six games left.
Also, we're on the website, Roy Cairns, H.L. Player of the Week, kind of
feel for Rora lost in the mix
quad A guy?
You tell him to go to Europe?
What are we doing here?
Does he need a new organization?
All he does is play center and put up points,
Dino.
But we don't need centermen's
and put up points.
We're all set.
He was hurt, when they?
I mean, it's.
What?
Roy Cairns this year.
He missed.
I'm just saying it's.
I don't know if he's got the boots to do it.
There is a question about the boots for sure.
And you do have Zeri,
potentially being a fourth-line
center tonight and or a beecher or a gross or a hospice is another option you imagine if wendell
clark was playing in the league today he'd be your favorite player what made you think of that
well just the lindross and the legion of doom and so i was i was actually thinking i'm like is doodles
coming on tomorrow believe so yeah i want to talk to him about that say like all right take take a team
from 95 96 and take a team from 25
26 and play them against each other.
Now, it might depend on the rules,
but the style of game,
I don't know that the kids,
I don't know who would win.
It would be the stupid refs, Rhett, to your point earlier,
the 95-96 team would be,
spend the whole night in the box,
because you just can't do what you could do back then.
Yeah.
But it definitely, if they allowed it a little bit,
yeah, 25, 26 kids would be like,
Look out.
I also wonder how the hatchers would look
against McDavid with today's rule.
They weren't supermodic.
Lumberjacking.
Can you imagine Pronger and the hatchers and
Lindraws and Mendel?
That's six penalties on Pronger there.
What?
The puck hasn't dropped.
Exactly.
This is some incredible news.
The athletics have been doing their organizational
prospect rankings for the NHL every day
announcing another team from 32 to 1.
The Calgary Flames check in and get this.
Number three.
They were 13 last year.
They're up 10 spots.
This Wheeler's an idiot.
Scott Wheeler's very good at writing about prospects.
Well, and I know you're joking,
but if someone's watching this out of context,
they're actually going to think he's like the refs are at that you,
he is an idiot.
There's your top 10.
Habs graduated Demadov and Hudson this year,
which is why they aren't in the top three.
They've had one of the top systems in the NHL for a while.
Hage is there.
Fowler still considered a prospect because he's not a full-time
NHL of this year is one of three goalies they've used.
Here's your list for the Calgary Flames, fellas.
Zane Perreck, top prospect, Cole, Reschney, number two.
Roshney quietly, point per game freshman at college at center,
on a good team and a good conference.
Gridden, who's on the roster now but was not an everyday player all year,
summoned from the minors midway through the year.
He's prospect number three, Colin Paul.
Potter, who had a serious injury in his season at ASU, one of the fastest prospects on the planet.
He checks in at four.
And Ethan Wittenback, the fifth rounder last year who led the NCAA in scoring prospect number five.
There are 17 other prospects listed in this article in the athletic.
Bashah checks in at 15.
The flames do not have a gold star prospect necessarily.
They have a ton of very good prospects.
Dino, a top three system in the NHL, your surprise level.
out of 10. Well, my immediate
reaction is. It's all
subjective. Of course it is.
But these guys know more than we do about prospects.
Don't call Wheeler an idiot.
Yeah.
It's better than the alternative.
I'm happy to hear it. Even if they're wrong a little
bit, it means. No, Wheeler did say
one and two are well ahead
of the pack and three to nine was a clump.
So very little separating.
But safe to say, this is the top third of the
NHL system. And two,
in the first round this year, next year, the year after, and eight second rounders in the next three
drafts. Connie Fiddence. It's good to have Connie Fiddance. I haven't. Pay for supper. Take us out
for drinks. Sheep. If you're curious about the rest of the top 10, Brestevich checks in at six.
Hansik 7 Muse, whose season was lost, I believe to a broken leg in college at 8. Weeb, who they got from
Vegas in the Anderson deal, checks in at 9. He's playing.
this weekend to make his pro debut by the and by next week and Jonathan, Jonathan Castagna checks
in at number 10.
Sunni up at 12 looks like he might make his season debut tonight.
He did play a game 82 last year and Andrew Bashia checks into 15.
Bashas looked fast, really good.
Medicine hat in the playoffs these last few games.
I told you weeb was good and you told me that your sources said he was shit.
No, you said that a guy told you that he's very, very good and has top four potential.
And then I texted someone in the organization.
He said, well, maybe HL, maybe NHL.
That was the conversation.
Yeah, we can read this.
It's nice that he's playing while he got a bunch of awards in the NCAA.
You just admitted you were not wrong.
You hang with casuals.
You know who Ryan.
No, no, no.
Wret was dealing with someone in the industry, as was I.
They just had different opinions.
I don't, I haven't watched Abram Weeb.
I do not have a schedule.
Oh, no.
either way. Good work, Connie.
10.
We talk about how long a rebuild takes.
There are a lot of, I would call B plus prospects, a ton of them,
maybe more than the other team in the NHL.
If you can add an A, be that a Stanberger or McKenna to this group,
I feel like you're shaving time off this team returning to,
you know, playoffs, contender status,
a long window of sustained success, which is their goal.
is, you know, moving forward.
We talk about how they can best utilize all these picks,
and it'll be can you trade up in the draft or trade for players?
We don't need to do it now,
but I just wonder over the next year or two or three or whatever.
Is there,
we know they were very close to putting an offer sheet down for the Broberg
Holloway pair one of the two,
if not both,
when St. Louis did it.
Is there an RFA offer sheet?
They got picks.
They got their own text.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
You've got three things you can do.
You can use picks to get players for today.
You can amass picks to move up in the draft,
or you can use the picks to select players.
And I think they'll do a bit of everything here.
I don't know that there's going to be pinch points like we've seen in the last
five to seven years with a flat cap when it's going up $10 million a year.
You also got to be careful.
I don't like this, but I understand the logic.
If you're a team with all these prospects that are going to need contracts
once they're done entry level.
I don't love if you want to go throwing grenades
and other people's front alcoes, if you know what I mean.
I don't know what in alcove is.
I think it's the front of the house movie.
Yeah, you need to go with alco if you could have just, yeah.
If they're in a spot where they have so much talent
that their teams are to offer shading their guys,
I mean, it's a good problem to have almost.
Yeah, and you'll have tons of cap of space.
This is not a team that's pinched.
To me, it would almost be more contract.
How many contracts do you have?
How many guys can you have?
And this is, again, it would, you'd need to assess what some of these guys over the next two years.
Yeah.
But not all these guys are going to pan out.
We know that.
They're prospects.
Just let some of them, for God's sake.
Just could some could a couple of you guys?
Mm-hmm.
You haven't even been drafted yet.
But get your hits together.
Just turned this all negative.
We just said how great Conroy is doing.
And now we're telling us.
Just look at it.
So, you know, I was reading in the thing there.
Ryan was listing off all these prospects.
And it's like, there's, there's no franchise player anywhere.
There's no
He's kids
They're just young boys
Give him a chance
Caleb Malchur
Ryan's telling me
He's just horseshit
I like him
One year in the
OHS
Why do you think he's Caleb Malhotra
I think he's the best center
In the draft
He's a rookie
He's terrible apparently
Sounds a good year
Give him a chance guy
Work with Romerdahl
We'll move on
How about the
Some advice from stage
French Seberks there?
Schedule.
Three on the road, three at home.
They've been walloped in two of their three so far on the road.
They did get that winning.
Hey, look at that.
They scored four goals.
What happened, Dean?
They won again.
God, they're good when they're going to.
I can't believe they've been on the road this long, and they still have three to go.
Three left.
And again, we started the road trip.
On the Monday, they would have traveled on the Sunday.
they have been gone the entirety of April
and a few days back into March.
They won't get back till
we hour Sunday morning
and they play that night. Utah.
Yes.
Like they've, they have so many flights left.
And Friday at 7 a.m.,
the flights will start up again.
The PJs will be.
They're not going to come to the playoff draft.
Do you tell arts?
They're busy.
Helles.
Thomas.
Yeah, Blake Coleman's not going to
long to get back to his family, I'm guessing, on Thursday night.
You're not hanging around to shovel walks in Calgary.
You seen the weather?
Is it snowing again?
It's coming down in Marta Lobe.
I'm looking at the window.
We're snow globe right now.
Let us look at the Dallas lines, defensemen, net miners, and injuries, which are
significant.
There's your top line.
Robertson, Johnston, Rantanon.
Which of those guys can't score 40 goals?
I'm just looking.
Oh, they all can.
Okay.
Well, how about that?
That's a lot.
It looks like a pretty good top line.
Second line.
A little more gray beard.
Dushanes had a lovely resurges in Dallas after he was kind of pulled off the scrap heat.
Where was it?
Nashville his last time.
He's just okay.
Jamie Ben's still doing it.
Colin Blackwell playing way up the lineup.
Rupa Hintz is out.
That might be a spot he slides in or maybe he moves to the middle.
Oscar Bach.
Justin, the man they call Ritz Carlton and Maverick Bork is your third line.
Ernie, is it
Hyru,
Hurry, Hyrie, Hyrie,
I'm not totally sure, to be honest.
And Cam Hughes.
Not one of the Hughes brothers, different Hughes.
Is that the superfan?
The guy that claps the sand and pulls off eight shirts.
I think that's his name too.
God, he's talented.
Let's go to the blue line.
We've noted they're not great on the right side.
They've got Miro, a left shot guy,
playing the right side with Lundell,
Harley with Nils Lundquist.
I'm here, Nils Lundquist,
the video artist.
No one has played more penalty kill minutes in the National Hockey League than Essel and Delle.
Good defensive defenseman.
And large human, Leon Bischel.
He's a big human.
What's that?
He is a big human.
He's a mutant.
He's from Switzerland.
I think he's like 6-7-250.
He's a beast.
Huge human.
Goaltending, it's been to Smith twice against Calgary, but yes, Otter is the guy we'll expect.
will start in the playoffs and look at the injuries fellas.
Again, Faxa, Hints, Steele, Bastion, Bunting, Myers,
who apparently could be back in tonight.
That's a lot.
If you're wondering why the stars have fallen off of late,
look at all the red mark on the bottom of the screen there.
Yeah, it could be.
Sam Steele had a big night, I noted March 3rd against Flames,
you have three points.
And Jack would be, Jack would want to tell you that,
Oly Mata and Casey to Smith,
they were teammates in Pittsburgh for two years.
Oh, Jack was so proud.
They were teammates.
Yeah.
They weren't very good.
Myers, this is the latest, coming in tonight for Alex Petrovic.
He was the guy that Dale Tallinn wanted to protect when he gave up Marsha So and others to Vegas in the expansion draft.
Still in the league and was in the A for a while, but he'll sit for Tyler Myers, the longtime Vancouver Canuck, who said not going to Detroit.
That was their big move at the deadline.
11 forward 7D, the plan, which would make sense if Myers is coming back from injury.
Give yourself a little security blanket insurance policy, whatever you want to call it.
Right on.
Right on, right on.
Finals last, oh, no, and we got the notes.
So finals from last night.
Dino?
Yeah.
You got some notes.
I got some notes.
Let's walk the way through the four games last night.
It was a rematch of the game of the year, potentially.
We all remember that game after the Olympics, Buffalo hosting Tampa.
It was a slobber knocker, 8-7, the final scraps galore.
The dream was alive in Buffalo.
Every fan stayed to live.
the end and was, despite being blowing a bunch of leads there, they came back and won it.
Three wins in a row now for the Sabres over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Yeah, 3.0 and 1 on the year, three straight. Sabers had lost back to back. Big win here,
tied for first in the Atlantic. Lightning have a game in hand. Kuturov gets his 400th goal.
Another goal and an assist for Jason Zucker. And Alex Tuck hit the 30 goal mark. He had, he's had 36
twice as a saber and now has 30.
He'll get paid.
Yeah, Cooch, quiet 400.
Yeah, he's quiet 400.
He passed first.
I think he's almost at 40 this year.
He's around 40, I think.
Jack's buddy Jake Gensel, 86 points, career high in points.
Wow.
This year.
Yeah.
Jets get a big win.
We had this yesterday, Jets minus one and a half.
That was a slam dunk because they beat up on the go-away Cracken.
Crackin'clock in a big.
Five in a row, one.
and two in their last 10. Good night, Seattle.
Any guess, just a guess.
The point total this year for Mark Schifley.
77 games.
He's over a point per game, I'm sure that.
He has 97 points.
Wow.
14 in his last seven.
Kyle Connor, two goals. Jets have won four of five.
They're three back. Neon-Neider-Rider, for whatever it's worth, is back.
He missed 20.
It's been good fit in Winnipeg for them.
Kyle bleep and Connor, right?
Yeah.
This was the Baderd against Celebrini battle in San Jose.
I cut a bit of this game.
Both are just so incredibly crafty and smart.
It was the sharks hanging on for a one goal win.
It was 3-1.
Chicago got it close on a bullet from Nazar.
Look at the teenage point totals.
This is rare air.
Celebrini is a teenager.
Has only been vested by Sidney Crosby,
who's three ahead of them with.
Celebrini got some runway left, and Wayne Gretzky who put up 137 as a teenager.
Famously, Connor McDavid was injured during that.
13, Ryan, not three.
Terrible.
Terrible, man.
Oh, that is bad.
Sorry.
Is that loud wrong or just wrong?
I just read it wrong.
My apologies.
Sid's not going to be caught.
Butard, meanwhile, up to point 200.
If it feels like it's a disappointment, it's only because McLeodney was the first overall pick the next year.
he's the first Blackhawk player ever to hit 200 points before 20.
Kane didn't do it.
Taves didn't do it.
Incredible.
Crosby and Stamcoast are the only other active players to do it.
Sharks went on that slide.
They've won five of six since.
They're very much in the mix.
That Colin Graf's a hell of a pickup.
Undrafted college guy.
He's been unreal for them.
And finally, you mentioned the Gensel story in Tampa.
Stamcoast is closing in on 40.
He's having a big bounce back year, at least for the goals.
They, of course, went to overtime because that's what the LA Kings do.
Shootout victory for the Kings, Forsberg.
We talked about it.
He's stolen the net from Kemper.
29 saves for Forsberg.
Kings into that wild card.
Kings win back-to-back games, consecutive games, for the first time since January.
And they weren't in a race to the caves.
Crazy.
Scott Lawton's been a nice fit for them.
They use them because they play overtime every game.
He comes up face off and he goes right to the bench.
That's every single overtime, which they play every night.
That's what he does.
It's kind of backland-esque, right?
Are you kind of?
Yeah, I suppose so.
Yeah.
You get some.
He will play, but.
We had to throw that in there.
Standings update here.
We showed you these earlier, Dino.
Winnipeg not dead yet.
They are three back.
Sharks two back with a game in hand on L.A.
And that victory in overtime in the shootout, excuse me, for the Kings, does give them a one-point bulge on Nashville.
They'll need it. They cannot tie and get in.
They don't have a tiebreaker that's any good because, of course, they only go to overtime, apparently.
The Red had mentioned it. The race for second in that Central Division is two points.
Minnesota behind Dallas games played are even.
Let's go to the East Jack. Thank you.
With that victory, the Sabres move into a tie with the lightning and points.
Lightning do have a game in hand.
Are we on a Buffalo-Montreal collision course?
Because Montreal is the best building over the course of time in the playoffs.
It's just different there.
And Buffalo will be the most wound-up fan base in the NHL given a 14-year drought.
Put that right in my veins, please, every other night, Gary, and let's make it seven.
Montreal hasn't had a drought close to what Buffalo has had, but still, them getting into the playoffs.
God, those two rinks would be.
how do you how do you beat it can't there'll be some great series but that is going to be locked in i hope
that's not i don't want that overlapping with minnesota alice i don't make me have to choose between
pittsburgh and philly or buffalo montreal that's that's dagger that shit gary jack
send a note to gary and make sure the buffalo montreal is not on the same nights as pitts for
daly gary's quite busy these days i think gary knows he knows okay good i don't know no
Also, it's two screen season coming out of us here pretty quick.
A reminder on that too.
A lot of good hockey coming up.
Ottawa holds a fox.
I need a new TV.
Jack has 0.5 TVs, I believe.
TVs.
All out.
Ottawa, one point lead over the Islanders, but that's a little misleading.
They do have a game in hand.
It feels like they've been a tire fire in Ottawa.
And yet here they are, five games left.
Like, they're on pace for, what, 96 points?
that's how tough it is in the east.
And that'll be the last playoff spot.
Philly has snuck in there.
They can be caught by the islanders,
but again, the games in hand don't work for the Isles.
Interesting on that coaching change,
Peter DeBoer coming in to replace Patrick Waugh.
Four day break, practice time for DeBore.
All their home games, all their games are at home.
They're Final Four.
So, DeBoar, it wasn't, it absolutely was about the future,
but it's also about, hey, let's give ourselves the best chance we have here.
If we can go 301,
four and oh, why not us?
Lipsy Schaefer in there, but I don't want to mess up
Jack's Battle of Pennsylvania. Has anyone
watched Philly? Like, should I be worried or
no? I tried to watch them
in Nashville on the third floor of a honky
tonk while 15 beers in.
They were there.
No, I can't tell you that I have
paid the side from just, I thought they were cooked and they're
very much in it, so. I've seen
them play Detroit, Columbus,
the Islanders, they don't scare me at all.
but I have not watched Philly at all this year.
That'll be a fun series because the penguins only playovers
and Phillies like Porter Martone coming.
That's exciting.
Like Mishkov is a player.
Let's go.
Are we putting soil on the wings?
Back for a second.
We're going to bury any of those?
We're going to leave them out of respect because Detroit and Columbus are going
the wrong way.
I don't think you can.
Yeah.
Detroit had a 12 point gap between them and the first team out earlier this
year. So as you look at this, and I was talking about this sked tonight, Columbus is in Detroit tonight.
Yeah, we can probably tied in games, tied in points. I mean, it's, yeah, it's awesome. Good stuff.
Okay, bottom of the league, this is where the flames find themselves. Don't get cute here, Huska.
Dallas needs the points. Workman like effort, keep it close. Don't win, please.
Chicago is so close. Not going to point there.
It's going to be tough. Two games in hand on the hogs. They've not been eliminated because the West is.
so bad.
Isn't that wild?
Yeah.
They're four games under 500.
You hope the Rangers can keep playing well.
They put a little mini heater together for some weird reason.
And I hope Seattle can actually win one more.
It actually feels like a big game coming up on Saturday night in Seattle to close this road trip team.
Yeesh.
I don't like that.
I know.
Dallas, Colorado, take care of business.
Those are the next two on the road.
Okay.
The hell of the crack and do it.
Get out of here.
The tank.
Yeah, I know.
Stinking Francis.
Yeah.
Big news yesterday.
We saw coaching change with 11 games left.
Another one with like four or eight games left for torts.
It's four games left for DeBoer.
And now Tom Fitzgerald, the G.
Johnny.
Getting let go by the devils.
Now there, this seems a little odd.
The timing, maybe.
When you look closer, it seems really odd because the national predators are currently,
have outsourced a hiring search for their
next GM and apparently Fitz
is beloved in Nashville.
Well, I don't know how. So are you saying that
Fitz is asked out? No. It was a mutual
agreement, I believe. I would suggest that if he
wants to go to Nashville and they want him, this is the kind of
thing you'd see happen. Yes, because I was going to say it's the
timing, whatever handful of games left. And to me,
I've not heard depart the organization. You just
relieved of duties, right? You've been fired. So to
point, Rhett. This has the
this is a little different for sure.
Yeah. And I do think that
whether he gets the job or not in Nashville,
that that feels like it's playing a role here.
Yeah. We'll see.
Celebrini, we talked about
the point totals. He's had
Baddard, Cooch as well.
Let's, Shifley, you noted the 97 points.
Look at the point total for his career now.
Mark Shifley.
900.
Guys kind of building a case.
Like he keeps putting these together.
You might end up down in front street and blue or whatever that is.
You got to squint.
You got a squint to see it.
But he's,
there's some of that Nate McKinnon red ass.
I live and breathe the sport.
This is the,
there's a bit of that to him.
He can run hot.
He's a little,
he can be tough on some teammates sometimes.
But,
um,
they won't swear at him.
He will not swear out of him.
Yeah, that's right.
You have the Phil Rivers thing going on or what?
Oh, yeah.
Shucks, darn it.
Dagummit.
Yeah.
Rett, on a scale of one to ten, how much do you love this?
This was installed a piece of art outside the rink in Buffalo.
It's a bleeping wagon.
They should have put a circle around it.
Put like a ring around it?
Yeah, they're back.
Oh, buddy.
That place is going to be.
be nuts.
We are less than two weeks away, fellas.
They're very excited.
Unless somehow Montreal pass them,
it was not somehow.
They could get past it.
Maybe they start on the road.
But that first playoff game in Buffalo,
yes, sir.
They're hammering the sabers,
gear sabers.
They're very good at it.
This is very Buffalo.
They're spilling it all over.
Guys are showing off their tarps,
ripping tarps off.
It's quite a scene in Buffalo.
You feel for the fans
when a team has a drought that long,
Yeah, but I mean, we got good weather here, so.
Yep.
Nothing to be Jalsef.
Nothing at all.
Tonight's games. Give me some tunes, Dino.
You like the slate, your big braggart.
Let's go.
Florida and Marial.
Jalbert.
Deal.
I don't remember him in Florida, but you probably played with him there.
Play with him? I did.
Next year you go.
Tampa, Ottawa.
Nick Paul, the big center.
Remember they brought me? Sure, I'll take that.
Columbus, Detroit.
Anytime we have it, we have to use it.
It's our boy, call me. Remember Babs?
Yeah.
Loved Babs in Detroit.
It speaks very highly of them.
Did Ray Whitney ever play for the Redway?
You got one. That's fine.
All right.
Philly, Jersey.
Is this the Dinus Zubris?
This is Zubris. We always go Zubris here.
What about Eric Weinrich?
Did he play in?
Sure. Maybe. Maybe play Jersey.
Okay.
Keep moving or you're swinging?
We can keep moving.
Boston, Carolina.
Dougie.
Dougie Hamilton.
Wesley.
Glenn Wesley.
Great Pulte.
Did Steve chase him?
He was a...
I don't know if he was a Bruin.
Absolutely.
He was a Red Wing and a King.
Oh, you know what it was?
And I don't want to be sad sack.
But I think they'd just beat or lost.
They just lost to Boston.
Okay.
That's why I'm...
Right.
Colorado, St. Louis.
There's Eric Johnson.
Steve Young.
Steve Young. Not Steve Young.
Scott Young.
Scott Young.
Eric Johnson.
That's a...
Jack Johnson.
Johnson.
Okay.
Calgary Dallas.
Lots there.
Easy.
Take your pick, fellas.
Chris Russell.
Glenn Gulletson.
I'm going to go Blake Como.
Chris Tanev.
Very good, Jack.
Seattle, Minnesota.
Stupid Seattle.
Blake Coleman has never played for the stars.
Ryan.
Oh, he's going there.
Come on.
I said, like,
Como.
I know you did.
I actually thought you.
No.
Did I misspeak?
I'm pretty sure I said Como.
Seattle Mini.
Come on now.
He said the way they were taking in that stupid draft.
This takes all the fun out of the game.
It really does.
He has to do with Seattle.
Can we contract this team?
I know they expand all the time.
Just contract this one.
Pass.
Is Nico Stur?
Mike Smith, Oilers, Mammoth.
Yep, very good. We'll take it.
Yamamoto as well.
Vegas and Vancouver.
Schultz.
Schmidt. Nate Schmidt.
Nate Schmidt.
They're good.
And in Narshville and Anaheim.
Korea.
Paul Korea.
Excellent, Redd.
Nice.
Okay, we've got to circle back. Seattle, Minnie.
I know, I know, I know.
Macbann.
No.
I believe.
Vince?
Vince McMahon did not play for the Cracken.
Shane?
Jordan Eberley.
Has yet to be a wild.
Soon enough, Red.
Chandler Stevenson.
No, he was Vegas.
And Washington.
Maddie Baneers.
No, he's just.
Red, here's the one that has skull.
I feel like there was a depth forward there that they got.
Oh, there would have been.
Obviously, there's somebody somewhere.
Bobby McMan is the only player explicitly identified
as having played for both the Seattle Cracken and Minnesota Wild.
This is why AI is so bad.
Do you play for the while before he got through Toronto?
This was Google.
This was not AI.
This was just a Google search.
Did Bobby play in Middy ever?
I assume he came up through Toronto.
No, we didn't.
What the hell's going on with AI?
It's honest.
AI is loud wrong more than I am and that's a lot.
Bobby McMahon is.
the only not.
You should actually AI.
Bobby Bickman.
Ah,
come to think of it.
You are correct about that.
Excellent.
Yeah.
And you know what?
Now that you mention it,
yes.
Jonas Brodine?
No,
Bruton stayed there.
He's only played for the while.
We might be here all day.
There's probably like two guys.
Ryan Donato.
Tell me it's right, Jack.
Wild?
Yeah.
Really?
Ryan.
Donato.
I think he had some time there before we went to.
There's a place that does this.
Carson Sussie.
Sussie.
Thank you.
Donato's right as well.
Donato's right.
We got two guys.
Easy.
Love Seattle.
Awesome.
There's only five to total.
Say that again?
There's only been five.
Who are the other three?
Susie.
Goodro.
Freddie Goddrow.
Freddie, Frederick Goddrow.
Okay.
Marcus Jelhenson.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Victor Rask.
Rask.
Victor Rask.
Former Hitman.
Former Hitman is right.
Okay, good work.
We powered through the stupid crack in team history.
That's a tough one.
It's a tough one.
You're right.
There's only five.
Let's fire up that Calgary Hitman schedules.
They got the medicine hat tigers for potentially the next seven games.
Let's hope so.
Or are you wanting to sweep here?
Where are your alleviances lying here?
Oh, I can be bought.
Excellent.
What do you need?
What do you need?
Like an assistant coaching gig or something?
Some cushy pro scouting.
Cushy would be nice.
Are we getting a suite for games three and four?
Either for either.
Throw that in the mix, please.
That'd be good.
Let's go.
Let's go back to the other one real quick.
Sorry, Jack, just because that one is stale.
That was last night when they didn't know who they were playing until the final that Sastume Blades victory over the oil kings.
Teed up the tigers and the hitmen.
But rich history of playing each other.
So why did you send it if you knew it would be out of date by the time the show came on?
I was waiting for up-to-day graphic dean.
and they're not have one up.
I'm sure they...
This is good stuff, right?
I'm glad you brought this up.
I know you'd be impressed, Dino.
It is a Monday Wednesday at the Dome, Games 3 and 4.
Are you making the Trek South for games 1 and 2 this weekend, retro?
Not a chance, no.
Okay.
Have you seen outside?
Game 6 would be at the dome as well.
It'll be a 2-2-1-1-1 format because they're divisional arrivals.
This feels like a fun series.
A Sunday fun day potentially for games.
60 and nice love the hitman sunday funday let's make this a great series shall we basha her
take do your part let's go rock twins you can play too let's go uh a lot of people wound up to watch
the rucks we gotta get those rock brothers sir i got second rounders coming out of the other
you know it's a good of the rocks that's the nice thing about this time of year if you're an
invested fan you're like what are these hey i'm going to go down to the dome i'm going to watch these
guys, I'm going to get to see for myself.
That's right. Head down to 555
Satellome Rise, Place Way Circle. That's right.
Check it out. Get your tickets.
The Blue Jays are off to a miserable start, fellas. They won three to
start the season and have one win since.
They've also used as many
pitchers as in the entire 2005
team. They played 162 games that year.
They've played 10 this year.
Hoey.
I don't want excuses. This is BS.
They're a bunch of fat cats.
Yesterday it was Max Scherzer, who apparently has forearm tightness and not a problem.
He's just going to pitch two innings.
Oh, that's great.
Let's go tax that bullpen of AAA dummies you just called up because you've already gassed your bullpen.
And if it wasn't enough salt in the wound, losing to the team that beats you in the world series last year
in a series that you probably should have won game six and getting seven into clinch,
they put out the second baseman who hit the game-winning home run on the mound to pitch
because they were up by so much in the end.
Ouch.
That's baseball.
Today, Gosman, Yamamoto, two great pitchers.
We'll revisit that one in our bets of the day for back.
I am not happy with this development, Ryan.
This is not sitting well.
It's a bad start.
That's what it is.
Masters, we, boy, you want to go.
Apparently, they're cracking down at Augusta National.
So the prices have reflected that.
Look at the amazing one ticket for four days.
an amazing price of $23,000 American.
Amazing.
Now, is this resale or is this?
This is resale?
Yeah.
Is this real at all?
Well, Darren Ravel posted it.
I just can't.
You can ask that.
But they, oh, fuck.
That's a four-day pass for one person.
I believe the ham and cheese sandwiches are quite cheap, though.
Yeah, the pimento and cheese sandwich is a buck 50 still, I'm told.
To go and watch.
golf for four days.
Jesus.
I got to ride this illness out, I guess.
I don't want to peek.
Don't get back too soon. The shovel will put you to work.
I'm not quite back on my feet on me. I bet by Sunday night.
You know what you got to do? Little clues around the house.
Lee just balled up Kleenex everywhere.
And you know, always you're making tea.
When you talk to the doctor, I talk to the doctor, he's, I'm not sure what the
strain is. Highly contagious.
Oh, dear.
So I might, if I were you, just stay away.
Make sure you keep washing your hands, but for sure, don't come close.
I'll be in the basement.
Maybe just stay in the main floor or upstairs.
What if I said I'm going to rent a hotel room?
Yeah, I'm just going to get out of the house.
You guys, I don't want to get you guys sick.
You're so thoughtful, Rhett.
How's your buddy's golf sim?
Is it underwater still?
It's time.
How good would it be to be in a hotel?
Now, the TV's got to be the right size.
Yeah.
going to say you need to make sure your TV set up.
The room service menu has to be the correct
menu, but with all the other
ways of getting food delivered,
we should be in fine shape, shouldn't we? And it's tough
the woman that I live with.
She's out of town.
Oh, that's a shame, Dean.
Gosh. I'll have to
my,
you won't know, it's hard to get a crazy
technology, but my fireplace
actually can become
a screen to watch
the masters. Well, absence makes
the hard.
They are.
I know you'll miss that may happen shortly after showtime.
Very good.
We've tried a lot of things on this show over the years.
We call it beta testing.
Not everything's a hit.
You know, you workshop strike, some gutters.
Do you really know that Jack's book club has been the roaring success.
That's Jack's fault.
It's entirely Jackson.
Totally.
Yeah.
But I think we might have a solution.
We get fan mail.
of our great viewers slash listeners put this forth because Jack's been tasked with reading the Bible.
There's a comic book Bible, Jack.
How about this?
I could probably do that, boy.
Full color.
I like the comic books.
Jack, I had one as a kid.
It was easy to get through.
Perfect or someone with your reading level and attention disorder.
Action packed.
Is that what you have?
I think so, yes.
Okay.
That's what they told me when I was little.
Oh, you probably grew out of that.
Why not?
I was little.
The comic book Bible.
That's a banger right there.
That might be a banger.
That may solve our problem.
Is that on Amazon?
Wherever books, where do you buy books, Jack?
I don't know.
The bookstore?
Yeah, Jack is not the guy to ask where to get books.
There's one right by the theater in Shaughnessy.
What's it called?
The bookstore.
Back to you, Ryan.
That is your Pinda Report this Tuesday, April 7th.
Village Honda.
You got a dealership for life, do you know?
And like you always say, you can go test drive when it's 25C in July.
But today's the day you want to see, you heard about this Honda reliability,
you want to test out these hybrid engines, you want to see the comfort and safety that Honda provides?
It's today you want to get out there zip that thing around.
Jeez, look at this.
Full screen.
I need full screen.
Oh, junkeroo.
No, is he going to be Army or Navy?
Have you figured that out yet?
Army.
Army.
Look, his ears went back.
He knows.
He knows.
He loves golf.
That's nice.
Oh, he's a big goal.
Yeah.
He loves the masters.
Yeah.
He's been looking up that Tita Green data who's gaining the most strokes, helping
rent with his bets.
Uh-oh.
Someone's at the door.
I'll be right back.
All right.
Bill and John.
You, uh, yeah, I want to tell you a little bit,
maybe this is what Redd needs.
I need to go someplace, a hotel.
How about Buffalo Mountain Lodge?
Oh, that work, all right?
Buffalo Mountain Lodge out in Banff.
And you want to go just do some skiing?
Sunshine Village, it's open until May
half the time. I mean, it's long, man.
May long over the year. If we're getting snow,
they're probably getting snow. You got all kinds of the snow.
You were just there. Conditions are great. Final runs of the season,
but you got time.
Quiet forest walks, hot tub evenings.
Beautiful dinner at the prow.

Use that access code.
Barnburner.
It's 15% off your room, off your stay.
Went through Banff on Saturday.
It was jumping.
Main Street, buzzing at the fudge place,
all the restaurants.
Oh, dear, look at this.
What is this?
Oh, you stinker.
My boy, Jackie Bear.
Come on.
Oh.
There we go.
Bet paid.
You're muted right there.
You know like a good day to pay a bet.
Wow.
So happy.
Taco time.
What lasagna?
How about it?
Jack, what a guy you are.
Just when I thought you could get any worse.
Yeah.
It was getting close.
So I have to do some.
That is a sensation.
You guys carry up.
And you know what? Jack, it's for most of us.
I mean, going with with grub, having surprise grub delivered.

We're going to start at the Rogers Center in Toronto, Dino, where the L.A. Dodgers are visiting the Toronto Blue Jays.
They thumped them last night, but the two aces respectively of each staff are on the mound.
Yoshinobu, Yamamoto, and Kevin Gosman have both pitched 12 innings.
Yamamoto's ERA is three Gosmans is under one. We're going to play the under after a monster over last night as we get some better pitching than what the Jays showed us last night, at least in theory.
and it's a Blake Goalman back in Texas loves it.
We talk about it.
We're going to put our money where I'm out of this.
See if we can't hit a plus 260 and a Blake Coleman anytime goal.
You also had noted Jason Robertson traditionally torching the cavalry flames.
He is a plus 110 for an anytime goal if you like that.
And if you want to chase points, let's see what I can find for you here.
Yeah, 22 points.
It's 13 straight games against the flames.
Robertson has at least a point, 22 points in 13 games.
Plus 120 for a pair of points for Robo.
There you go.
Parlay that stuff. It's put into the price there for sure.
Yes.
All right. Good, good sports night.

Bet365. Great partner of Barnburner.
God, I thought redhead to be out for some appointment or something.
Might have got pushed. Maybe. You said as a Calgary.
You're going to get a little bit of charitable donations from the watchers here as we go live on YouTube.
Oh, Big Bear, 699 took the little Big Bear to Calgary for Easter. Andrew.
Got us ice time and some fast 21-year-olds to kick our bleep in.
Amazing.
10 out of 10 as always.
Oh, boy, Andy.
Nice to have a little big bear.
Yeah.
Get the older kids show the young ones how it's done.
There's Ken, 20 bucks.
Remember Ken was in earlier.
We were talking about deep in the heart of Texas, Gene Autry.
Good on you, Kenny, boy.
Kenny says, Rich, right, catch you at the kids.
Here's the donation.
Thank you, Ken.
I love his one poster.
That's so good.
20 bucks.
Is that the El Cruncho?
Jack, what did you, what did you send old retro there?
Believe an El Cruncho meal, some tots, and one of those Mexican drinks.
Oh, yeah.
Yorito?
Yeah.
Yoritos.
Handsom Dan.
There's handsome Dan.
$80 for the eight goals over the weekend.
Thanks, Jeff.
I'm dispirious.
If you guys could pick one former flame and plug them into this roster as a kid to join the rebuild, who would it be?
Wow, that's a great question.
You got a lot of good options.
If you look back to the...
Johnny or Jerome?
I would even say, given their struggle at center ice, you'd take a Joe Newendike, a Dougie Gilmore.
Yeah, I mean, New and Dyke bust in hard, right?
Yeah, I think 50 is a rookie or a second year, maybe?
Back to back.
Then you do back to back years?
Yeah.
But it's the center.
sentimentally would be fun to do the Godrill thing again.
Yeah, it would.
Maybe that's a reason to be biased, but.
The other guy that doesn't get talked about enough because he left in his prime was just Al McKinnis was such an incredible hockey player.
You know what?
For fun?
Dion again.
Yeah, for fun.
Especially as a young guy, like, he played his best hockey's first five years in the league.
Yeah.
We've talked about it a bunch, but, like, he came in like a wrecking ball.
Caleb 499
Philip 499
Pinder
Can you say that Mero Hayskinan
is one of the all-around best defenders
louder for the people in the back
Thanks by the way for that
Even the casuals now Philip
He's a great defenseman, both ends
You know what though? To Phillips point
When you start talking about elite defensemen
You know it's well there's Kail McCar
It's you're going to go down that list
probably for a lot of people before you get to
haste to it. Because there's
so many trophies for forwards, and I know
it's a points thing, not a positional thing,
but that we don't have an all-around
or defensive defenseman award is
just the easiest two-foot puck the league
can fix so quickly. Because
he's never going to put up Wurinsky
and
car, no, but my point is
is that he doesn't get enough Norris love
because there's guys like Bouchard that are going to have
like 90 points or something stupid.
And he does correct. More complete
defenseman than Bouchard.
Why don't we have another award for defensemen?
They're very important.
You don't need to be points to be considered a good.
You can come with 60 points and play half an hour a night and be more important than a guy of 90.
Philip,
you and I are on the same page here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And yeah,
everybody's in agreement.
It's all good.
There you.
All right.
I believe that's it for the S super chats today.
Thank you,
everybody for jumping in there.
Take care of that.
money to the use of the centers of Calgary.
Good.
I guess two things, Jack.
Do we want to do Chocolate Championship update?
Do we want to do a tankathon?
Yes and yes.
All right.
The chocolate championship, you saw Handsome Dan,
80 bucks there for the kids.
He's also part of our chocolate championship,
Handsome Dan and the Vacation Rentals.
I was just thinking about this guy this morning.
Somebody was talking about going fishing.
It could be crazy.
Maybe you just go get a place at Handsome Dan.
and then find some affordable guy locally.
He's got a boat.
Knows the neighborhood, yeah.
Maybe he'll take you out there, you know?
Maybe Handsp. Dan's help.
We'll talk to them, see.
Handspdans.ca is the website.
Put the code chocolate into the coupon code section.
You'll save $100 off of your reservation
until the end of May.

Handsamvance.ca.
And of course, crystal waters, plumbing and heating,
the crystal clear choice for home comfort,
crystal clear Calgary.com.
It's not a good time to be without, uh,
is my furnace on?
It's freezing in my house.
What's going on here?
You're not out of the woods.
Ladies and gentlemen,
stick with it.
Something goes sideways.
Crystal waters,
the first thing that comes to your mind.
They are your crystal clear choice for home comfort.
So we are getting down to it.
Round one, we cruise through it.
Not a lot of upsets.
It was a lot of favorites.
Heavy favorites moving on to round two.
Very exciting.
As we have now, we're getting ready for it.
We're down to it.
Yes.
Yes.
Wow.
I knew it.
This was my dark horse, baby.
I love it.
Two upsets in the Western Conference.
Wow.
The Canadian favorite coffee.
Cofy Crisp upsets the two-seeded caramel milk 522 to 314, a decided win.
200 plus votes difference.
Wow.
Coffee crispers.
And Mars is going home.
Oh, Henry.
A shocker.
Oh, Henry.
And Mars is like, that's the paracomacom.
That's the Mars company.
That's Mars.
The student just passed the professor, I think, there.
You know what?
There's going to be some awkward conversations inside the Mars buildings today.
Wow.
I love the mo that coffee crisps got going, had good vibes going into the tournaments.
Let's go.
Waifer, light.
Yes.
So good.
And as, oh, Henry, we're talking nugget.
Right?
We got nugget in that thing?
Nuts.
Wow.
Jack, how do you feel about this?
Well, I got to go out and get some coffee crisp and O'Henry
because I can't remember the last time either.
I've had a Mars and a caramel milk way before I've had those other two.
Well, get ready to be impressed.
My kids know.
They were not my votes.
I'm not the best dad on Earth, Dino, but I've taught them some things.
After Halloween, they put all their coffee crisp side.
That's the dad pile.
Oh.
Don't ask for anything else.
The rest is yours.
I just want the coffee crisp.
Yeah.
Somebody asking, why is the one on the right side, the west?
or the east, you know, whatever.
Geometrically speak.
Depends which way you're looking at.
Coffee crisp, Ryan.
They're okay with it, but they know that's my favorite and they have 17 kilograms
after Halloween.
Yeah, the coffee crisp is.
It's solid.
It's so good.
I will, we'll discuss as we get into it.
Have to be considered heavy favorites against the O. Henry.
Despite the fact that O. Henry has come.
You know what?
It's done.
It's, to me, it's shade.
the foundation of the entire chocolate championship.
That's a bracket buster right there.
Coffee crisp into the final four.
Yeah.
Tremendous.
Tremendous.
So now we go to the west, east.
Yeah.
Shoo.
Yep.
Oh, baby.
Favorites dominate.
Favorites dominate on the other side.
Reese's by 100, just over 100 votes.
Defeats Twix.
And the Kit Kat, 476.
That's a top vote getter going around.
That and the coffee.
Now, am I correct in that Kit Kat and Coffee Chris are both Canadian delicacies?
You get Kit Kat in the U.S., but it's different.
Anything you get in the States is going to taste different.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a different chocolate.
Canadian Kit Kat is elite.
It's much worse for you, the American version?
100%.
The Canadian, and the thing with the,
the Kit Kat and the coffee crisp.
It's wafered,
covered, like chocolate covered wafer.
Talk about Stals make fights. You got the peanut
butter cup against the chocolate
and wafer here.
Kit Kat better pack a lunch
because they're going to, they're still, they got their hands
full. They're not here. They're not through
yet. This is a heavyweight battle here coming up.
We are set.
A dream Canadian matchup still on the table,
Dino. If we could do a coffee,
Chris Kit Kat goodness.
So O. Henry has beaten, what is that in round one?
The crispy crunch?
The crunchy.
Crunchy.
Crunchy.
Boy, and see, I don't know.
I think I would have taken crunchy and Mars in both of those over in O.
Henry.
But you know what they're doing?
They're giving me the middle finger.
Screw you.
The math speaks for itself.
Tough time for the caramel milk too.
That's a hell of a good bar.
You know what?
It's like the wild Dallas Stars deal.
Yeah.
is tough second round matchup
and what about the Reese
taking on dairy milk in round one
Twits in round two
some haters on the show but there are one seat
for a reason they're the defending chance
can't write them off
that's why you're
going to earn that maybe a bit of
a easier path
easier path
when does the open
when do we open up voting for this one
Jackie boy he's open
she is open
I think we should let this run
run till next Monday.
Okay. Let's let's really
dive deep into these four chocolate bars.
Yeah, I like that too. I like that idea.
It's pretty awesome as well, I think.
Yeah. Do some research here.
Yeah.
Melt, break, conquer. It is the Barnberger
chocolate championship. I like our final four.
Uh, somebody asking Reese's peanut butter cups or the pieces?
This is the, this is the, the classic peanut butter cup in the
package with the cardboard.
kind of deal on the bottom.
Paper deal, yeah.
Again, it's not, it's, it is my least out of that entire bracket.
I don't know that I've never purchased for myself.
Really?
Really?
No.
I am not a peanut butter chocolate guy.
My wife made some homemade ones on the weekend.
They were fun.
Oh, my wife loves it.
Anything that comes out of the kitchen that she makes, it's, it's got peanut butter in it.
Peanut butter cookies, peanut butter muffins, peanut butter, this,
We should swap.
I like peanut butter on my,
give me toast and peanut butter.
Love it.
Let's put where it ends.
I'm happy.
That's,
that's a strong final four.
Good for coffee,
Chris.
Yeah, proud of them.
Proud of them.
Big time.
We'll do a,
tankathon.
Calgary Flames playing the night.
Don't go winning.
No, don't.
What is there?
Two points now separating 70 and 72,
the Flames and the Hawks.
Hawks have not been very good.
They got one win in the last, whatever it is.
Don't get cute, Flames.
Don't get cute.
So the lotto balls are in the machine.
Flames have an 11.5% chance of winning the first overall pick.
As we hit the old draft Rooney.
Islanders!
They just picked first and moved up 10 spots last year.
The Rangers move up a couple.
The Islanders move up 10 to the islanders move up 10
to the four hole.
They had a 1.5% chance of hitting.
Yeah.
And like you say, a 0% chance of going first
because they can't.
It can only go up 10.
So flames move down two spots.
In, you know, the biggest loser.
As other teams move down one,
the flames take this one right in the jibs.
Interesting.
I hadn't thought about that Detroit first rounder.
They miss for Justin Falk,
St. Louis.
That's a high pick.
Right.
Yeah.
This is the argument.
They've been brutal of late.
What is the protection on that pick?
Is there any?
There's none listed there.
Maybe it's top 10 protected, but, yeah, they got a 0.5% chance of winning and moving into the top 10.
Yeah.
Florida is going to keep theirs unless they go on a massive heater to finish.
That's top 10 protected.
And I believe the Seth Jones, Spencer Knight Swap, and,
Toronto's is only top five protected.
They got a lot of losing to do if they're going to pass
enough teams to get to the top five.
Or you just win the lottery.
Got it hit to see that.
Boston be happy picking top 10.
Well, they got Hagen's last year, too.
People forget that.
That's a nice little reload they've done.
There you go.
Well, we lost our buddy.
He's gone.
That's a shame.
Talcos, but we're basically done.
Basically done as it is.
Taco Tuesday, it happens.
It's happening.
Yeah.
That'll do it for today.
Tomorrow on the show,
we'll have Jamie McClennan.
We'll look back at this Star's Flames matchup,
the ongoing road trip.
Maybe another GM or coach will be fired by then.
You can't write it off this year.
Seems to be happening nearly daily basis,
kind of a deal.
Watch your ass, Huska.
That's right.
That's right.
Jack, how was the show today?
Great show.
It started off.
I wasn't really paying attention.
I was trying to figure some things out,
but I think I turned it around at the talk of time.
Red was happy at least.
I was going to say it was not a great show,
but you finally paid your debt.
There's a weight that's been lifted off, Jack.
That buys you some time and some breathing room.
Yeah, that buys you some breathing room for sure.
Late, late one coming in here.
Ken, five bucks.
I think Pinders pick of Smits is spot on huge stud L.D.
Yeah, you should never say anything on social media
because people just don't understand what you're trying to say.
Someone asked who is the most NHL ready player.
after the top two guys.
And Smith has been playing with men in Finland for Yokerate.
He played at the Olympics with Latvia.
He's huge.
He's physical.
I wouldn't take him at four or five,
but someone was not asking who would I would take.
They'd say who's ready to play with men.
There's a great case to be made.
Already playing a full season in the top league in Finland,
he's ready to play with men next to him.
But he's an intriguing guy.
I don't know the IQs for the roof,
but he's huge, he's physical.
And he's played a lot of high-end hockey.
when you look at the Olympics and what's going on in Finland.
All right.
Albert Smiths.
We're covered.
Be safe out there, everybody.
Roads are treacherous if you're watching in the Calgary area.
But that is, uh,
see you, buddies.
