Starting point is 00:00:10 Oh, sorry, here you go. Yeah, you're going to get it started here. I've got the actual. It's all right. Bodies, you don't need your helmet. It's not a game day. Not today. That was yesterday.
Starting point is 00:00:22 A little sheepish today. Are you? Slow. Not sheepish. A little slow. Got up early. We used to get up really early. We used to get up as early as often.
Starting point is 00:00:30 And when I do get up early, she's no boy. Why are we up early today? Kids school hockey. Hockey. I'm in charge. I got the whistle. Just working. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Just working. It is crying. Yeah. Barnberger brought to you by Bet365, game props, player props, totals, and the money line. Whatever your bet it is. It's never ordinary at Bet365. Sorry about your underpinder. Yeah, I got smoked.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Download the app and get in the game. Must be right. Jumped on you there. That's all right. I did it last night. Superchat. Send some dough with your texts, your messages, your recipes, your drinks. your advice, your love letters,
Starting point is 00:01:14 we can critique and analyze. A little shuffle that money over to the youth centers of Calgary where they'll do great things with it. Always do. Keeping the youth, happy, healthy and safe. That's right. And thank you for all those donations. It's been wonderful.
Starting point is 00:01:27 It's the triumvirate. Happy, healthy and safe. It's all good. All good things. It's nice to see you two boys this morning. Jack, how are you doing? I'm doing well. How's the lasagna?
Starting point is 00:01:38 It's coming along. I bet it is. In the book? I haven't started. What day did we get the book? Wednesday, almost a week ago. You might just put a dent into it so that, because you know they're going to ask every day.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Oh, I know. It's such a good book. Fake it. Do the audible. I was working last day. It was so good when that guy does that thing at the start there. Oh, wow. That was crazy. Magic.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Oh, man. I'll get the Coles notes. I don't know who does that sort of thing. We're here in the McLeodlaw, LLP Studios, McLeodlaw. Maybe it's something minor. Maybe you've got a significant situation in your life. Know that they are Calgary born and bred.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Their roots are running deep in our city. They care about Calgarians because they are Calgarians and they're best in the business, MacLeod-Dashlaw.com. And they take care of our studio for us. And we appreciate them for that. You were vacuuming the McLeod Law Studios this morning. Yeah, doing a little tidying up. I'm making a mess. Getting festive in here. Holy. Trying to get some stuff up getting into the spirit, you know. You're the guy that doesn't like a dirty house when people come.
Starting point is 00:02:39 come over. You'd be surprised. If you walked into my house, you'd be, oh, you're, you don't like it. I showed to be just fine living in. I showed up uninvited. It seemed all right. I've never been to himself. It's not Lulu.
Starting point is 00:02:52 It's not Lulu Warner. Can we get, uh, Rhett to just stand up on that two shot, Jack? Yeah, there's already often, but it is. People are asking what's on the sweater. It's just. No, towards here. That would be here.
Starting point is 00:03:06 The one and only. Turn. George Costanza right there. Where does one get one of those? That's one of the few gifts I've enjoyed over the last decade. So I'm not sure, but it was a gift. That's a great gift. It is.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Dean's a good gift gift. Some might say that keeps on giving. Oh, yeah. Once a year we get to see that bad boy about. I'm going to bring it out more. I think you should. That'd be a. Party treat.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Did I wear it for noodle one day? Noodle. Maybe. For the noodle. The noodler. There's going to be some, I'm thinking of how to bring it up to him tomorrow because I saw the clip. Oh, the Robre.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Of Robert. Yeah. Punch him in the head. Yeah. I mean, it's awkward, but we kind of like awkward. Oh, we thrive on it. We kind of thrive on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:59 We make a living off of it. So we'll do that tomorrow. Now, let's get into it. Let's not. Daly dally, dally. Let's not waste our time. there was a match at the at the dome last night and you were at it oh you're damn right I took it all in yeah I heard he didn't leave before the first intermission no fact we have evidence and proof that he was there beyond the first intermission was like like hearsay like what kind of proof commitment well he's on the Sabres broadcast he joined racer really that's hand tape get his TV wig on you hung we didn't do an intermission here after the show literally did the line live game together. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Some levity. Glad to bring some levity. Yeah. With Dan Dunleavy? Dan, boy. Dan Dunleavy and Rob Ray on the Sabers. What was the tone for the Sabres? My take is that if, how would
Starting point is 00:04:58 how would I, there, it's been too long. Mm-hmm. Yeah. What they're watching isn't the end of the world, but they've seen it. It's just a steady done. Diet of this. It's a rerun that's been running for over a decade. It's like everyone likes mac and cheese. If you had it for 12 years in a row, three meals a day,
Starting point is 00:05:16 God, you'd be done with mac and cheese. Love that this looks passable. It's not terribly healthy. It's not great, but it'll fill you. There was a shot of Ryan McLeod skating towards the bench. It was maybe in the third period. And you could see it's, you're in this hockey game. It's December.
Starting point is 00:05:31 You may lose this game. But it was, you could just see that there, it's another. night where we're probably going to lose, where we thought we could maybe win. We got to within a goal and the goal doesn't count. We get back to within a goal and then they score to go up by two shortly thereafter. Yeah. It just, well, their dog shirt in their own end.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Who? For shizzle. This is what kills me. Disturbingly bad. And just let me finish. And they're not committed to winning. No, they don't know how to win. They're out there and they're kind of zipping around and then they look good for,
Starting point is 00:06:07 Oh, gee, that's a nice play. Tom's a great show. Oh, good. And then it's like, do you know how to play hockey? Are you playing hockey? Or are we just, is it? So I was the crazy human that in my bowl prediction said, I think they're going to make playoffs. And I think this roster's good enough to when you look at, I just think this is absolutely the wrong coach. We have Robin, but Rob has to go on the broadcast.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Rob's is it wasn't going to say sell the team, fire this guy, get rid of the GM. Like, you can't show up and do your job if you're saying those things. And I don't know that he believes that to be true or not. but I would, you know, I think if you put a lot of tech around him, you'd probably say, yeah, they can use a reset here. They've gone through a lot of coaches. They put a guy in place to be GM that's never run a team before. He was on the business side.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Like, it's just, how do you have a team so young without structure? Like, the one thing that should be top of your list is structure when you're coaching younger players. And they're just, they have no structure. Well, Lindy's been there. This is his second year. The guys that he's working with have been there for a lot. Yeah, the staff's been there a long time.
Starting point is 00:07:07 And Lindy was never a structured guy so much as he probably can motivate guys and rah-rah. He was fine. Some guys say he wasn't good. Serich, I think, went out of his way to talk about, like, that's not a structured team. And that was the last Lindy Rough Stop, which I think was in New Jersey. And, you know, he knows more than I do, obviously. But I just thought a guy like Huska is what they need, someone that's like fellas, if we're going to have a chance to win, there's a certain way we have to play.
Starting point is 00:07:35 And instead, they're just trading chances. as one of the youngest teams in the league with nobody that's won anything outside of maybe talk. Like, how in the world can you operate your club that way with a GM that's like, yeah, we'll give you Dylan Cousins, take an injured prone less player and give you a second. Like, it's just mismanagement all over. And I know everyone loves the owner because he owns the bills
Starting point is 00:07:53 and he saved the team from bankruptcy, but he has put the wrong people in charge. Yeah, you can question who he's hired. You can't question his. Right. And so desire to win. Does he want to win? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Has he put the right people in place? No. I don't. Like, yeah, and it's like, was Kevin Adams ever a candidate anywhere before he was given the reins? No. I wonder how easy or difficult it is to get. You need good hockey people. How easier difficult is that to do in Buffalo?
Starting point is 00:08:25 I know for a fact there were good hockey people stiffen around. Yeah. And so the question is like, how country are they? I know. Scotty Bowman lives in Buffalo. Is that, is he a good hockey? I feel like he knows the sport well. Yeah, like maybe.
Starting point is 00:08:39 And I'm not saying that his, he's put his name in the, no, in the hat. But I'm just saying that bring them on. When there's, trust me, the no trade lists that guys have, Buffalo's on every effing one of them, all of them. Yeah. Every no trade out there has Buffalo on that list. So I get the guys don't want to get traded there. But it's one of 32 jobs if you're a GM or a coach or I mean. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:04 So say you do have a someone that you consider to be. very hockey savvy saying that, it's going to be hard to get any kind of a deal done in terms as far as a trade. Because I agree with you. I think that that's probably at the top of most guys' lists. I don't know they have no trades. When you try to fix Buffalo or say, we have to go make a trade. But that's what I'm, so you're kind of taking trades out of the equation.
Starting point is 00:09:28 You have to build. You have to really. You have to be a Winnipeg. And don't kid yourself. Edmonton's in the same boat except they got McDavid. And we're in the same boat here in Calgary. They're not. You can pick up the odd stray free agent.
Starting point is 00:09:41 But why are they coming here? Because you're paying them more. This team's good. It's different. But at this juncture, yes. Yeah, but it's the same for the sabers. If the sabres are good, it's different. If I'm not quite there.
Starting point is 00:09:52 So if you're, you think if you're a top five team for a decade that it doesn't change. Well, top of a decade. I've not even talking with that. Like the flames went and got Markstrom at the top of the market and Tannib when he was highly sought after. Blake Coleman when there was hot pursuit.
Starting point is 00:10:05 They paid the most. Markstrom was offered more by Edmonton but the next year but it was okay well so who are you comparing it to Buffalo who are you comparing Markstrom was going to sign in wait so yeah but again it was like it wasn't like it was the fifth guy down the tonal ball that was the top goal in the market
Starting point is 00:10:22 like when this team's good they've had success in free agency but I don't know that I can say that about Buffalo like I'm trying to think of a high profile for region signing like that and I don't know like they've never done they've never had the opportunity to do it And it's almost a moot point. They did sign.
Starting point is 00:10:38 And we criticized as soon as Pagula got the team. He said, go ahead. Erhoff. And he signed a bunch of guys. And then we said, well, you're an idiot. So it was interesting when Taylor Hall went there in a one-year deal. I thought that was a smart move. That was a no-lose kind of scenario where if he does play well, they had tons of cap space.
Starting point is 00:10:57 And that's the owner saying, yeah, go ahead. We'll spend the money. It's not the owner saying he won't spend the money. No. It's been mismanaged. Yeah, I agree. And they missed it. the biggest thing and it's stupid and boring to continually harp on.
Starting point is 00:11:10 They missed out on McDavid. Their whole plan was McDavid. The whole decade was spent thinking we're going to get McDavid. Well, that's chapter one. And then chapter two is, you know, alienating your superstar who went second overall. Yeah. You're trading them for magic beats. You do need to pivot after the McDavid thing.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Does it happen? Eichl's a great player. Has cup. And he's captain. He's going to the Olympics. That's a superstar. But they look. But they're that sour.
Starting point is 00:11:33 They let that sound. But we were saying the same things about. about the Sabres then as we are now when they had Eichol. It's like, well, what's up with the Sabres? Well, they've got, they've got some young players. I don't know why they're not able to bring it around. And so since then, who have they brought in that's either A, an established winning head coach or B, an established winning GM?
Starting point is 00:11:52 Well, okay, well, I think you're being a bit of a dick and I'm going to have to defend some guys. Lindy Roth does have a resume. Like, I'm not. So when he was hired, you were like, yes, you're like, ooh, I don't know if this is going to work. Well, you're saying two different things. Are you asking me, was I interested in hiring, did I think Lindy Rough was the right guy for the job? No, but you're saying that they're hiring people that don't win and that's bullshit. No, no.
Starting point is 00:12:15 So I guess we'll reframe it. Like they continue to roll green GMs and coaches that don't seem to fit. Like Ralph Kruger, not a fit. Don Granato was working, I believe, at Wisconsin or is an assistant somewhere before that. But other teams have taken stabs at college coaches. I'm not sure. But I'm just saying, like they've never said, screw this, here's 10 million bucks a year, Steve Eisenman.
Starting point is 00:12:39 That's not true. They tried to get Babcock and he said, go pouncing. And that would have been. And it would have been a mistake. 15 years ago. Yeah. Yeah. So that was the last time that took a big cut.
Starting point is 00:12:48 I mean, he would have given structure. I don't know. I'm not, it's the shitty part of it is I'm not disagreeing with you. I don't know. They've completely mismanaged it. And it's funny. I think it's funny because we sit here on our high horse in Calgary and think we're so great. And if you go back, they actually have more.
Starting point is 00:13:06 It's not a lot of separate. Yeah. And it's quite similar in Cachuk leaves, has success. Bennett leaves has success. Like we have lost guys that have gone to some of the same teams that the Sabres sent guys and won Stanley Cups. Like, it's like, oh. There's just a different temperature when you kind of were making the playoffs every other year for the better part of a decade versus 14 years in a row with missing. That's just, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:29 It's just record breaking. It's what we talk to. Some Cleveland Brown shit. So does that include this year? Or we talked about that. 15. 15. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Because they're. Well, and again, like the sounds like last. The conversation started. What's the mood or what's the commentary? I'm sick of it. Yeah. They do.
Starting point is 00:13:51 They want to have some hope. How could you have hope watching that team for the last 14 years? And F me. Their D effort is freaking shameful. Structures bro. And on paper, you should like a lot. lot of that. We talk about Bowen Byram, love, love this guy.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Top end pick, right? Oh, power is the first overall. Tate's first overall weapon. But on, like, on the back end, that should be a good young defense. And it just looked like a carnival. It was, as Jamie would call it, it was dog park defense. It was dog park defense. And that's why I keep coming back to coaching with this team. And I agree, I do agree with that because you can't watch this and go, well, he's got them dialed in. They're playing structured and sound. They are, I mean, Neither team. It was an interesting game because both teams were pretty loose.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Yeah. And lots of special teams, which is annoying. But you got a power score on one shift and get scored on looking like he doesn't know how to skate. The exact same shift, 15, 20, 30 seconds there was like, I don't know what this guy. What he's doing? I don't know what he is. I don't either.
Starting point is 00:15:00 You want him to, for their sake, you want him to be a player. He won't overall. Yeah. He looks the part. He's big. And yes, you look like Chris Fronger. But he also, sorry. He also looks like a guy that if he moves, we'll find his.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Oh, yeah. Right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's like, yeah, you're not going to find it here. You're going to get traded. And Quinville's going to get his hands on you and he's going to. 100%.
Starting point is 00:15:25 And that's how they, like, they're probably in their third, fourth, or fifth rebuild when you think about it. Like, Reinhart, way better player. Oh, we got a first and it's a good pile of assets for him. well, he's got two cup rings. Montour, one cup ring. Eichel, one cup ring. They're sending guys out and they're all better everywhere else.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Like, cousins, that deals this. Indefensible. And I'm thinking out loud. And I'm biased because I think Rob Bray would be a great guy for a president of hockey operations. They might miss that role. Because I don't know who the go between the owner and the GM is, but they've missed something.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Yep. With their hirings of the, so something's misconstrued there, right? Like there's, I don't, I don't think Pagula is being cheap. I don't think Pagula is whatever. I think he's trying to win and he's willing to do what it takes to win
Starting point is 00:16:21 and to do good in that city. But his analysis of what constitutes a good GM and management group might be off. And what you're saying is, the people he needs to trust for hockey opinions are missing in the organization. And I agree with that entirely. And I think the Rob Ray is a perfect one. Like Rob's been around the game,
Starting point is 00:16:41 his whole bloody life. Do you think Rob would be able to find a good GM and a good coach for a young team? I think he could. Yeah, it's ridiculous for us to try and... You could pencil him in as the... He knows everyone in the town. He's done everything for the town.
Starting point is 00:16:57 He knows all the business people. He's done every charity. He's been involved in all the... From top to bottom, you could sign him in and go here. Every employee in the building, he knows everybody in the national hockey. Because that's the other thing is he's been on the road. He's been, he's been in the day-to-day operation of the NHL for years and years. And I'll tell you what Rob Ray would do.
Starting point is 00:17:19 He'd go to Pagula, Mr. Pagula, and say, listen, thank you. Yeah. I really appreciate this. I want to bring in another guy that's really smart. Yeah. Right? And he would surround him with guys that he, not. me guys that he really trusted and they have like Rick Dudley has been around the game forever
Starting point is 00:17:40 and if you watch where Rick Dudley is gone when he leaves those teams yeah are good leaves him in better shape wow and Rick Dudley lives in Buffalo yeah it's and there are smart hockey people out there it's so it's like oh you guys just like Rob Ray I I think he's the kind of guy you need because if he gets fired, it's not like his life falls apart. It's like, well, I'll just go back to doing what I was doing before, whether maybe I'm doing color commentary or not. He's not going to be devastated. But he's also going to be able to go into the owner's office and say,
Starting point is 00:18:16 here's the straight goods. He's going to be able to be. Set a culture, Brian Burke. They had to go bring Brian Fing Burke here into Calgary because nobody knew what the flames were and he gave him an identity. Bam. You want an identity? boom done and I do think was was robbery a tough guy and but I think people view him as being
Starting point is 00:18:40 we even saw it in the chat yesterday's like for for a guy you know who was throwing punches for a living this guy's got a good head in his shoulder like he's an intelligent guy he's a respected guy in the game for 40 years yeah and we we had rob and yesterday's we're talking about rob but really what we're talking about is the sabers are missing a hockey experience person to help the owner put the right people in place. I do feel for the owner. And I know it's easy to go to the feet of the owner and throw it on them. I don't think it's the owner's fault.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Well, we can't, we tried rookie head coaches. That didn't work. What about someone who's got, he's one of the top 10 in all time coaches? Dan Bilesboe is there and he's shit. Like they did get him too. Yeah. So bring in, well, Lindy. Ruffie.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Does he know Buffalo? Yes. Has he been around the team? Yes. Has he got a ton of experience? Yes. Okay. well, he's not green, he's not a rookie, he's a storied coach, bring him in, sure, it's not working.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Well, I don't begrudge ownership for, oh, you, what the hell are you doing? They tried to give this team a seasoned coach. I don't know about the Kevin Adams thing. Wow, the thing, here's a thing. I didn't like it to start with. It's odd, but I don't like if a guy gets an opportunity, go ahead. You're going to show us what you got. Yeah, and he's had a big run.
Starting point is 00:19:57 plenty of time now that's the problem is that you've had plenty of time your stamp is all over this and it's not working so that and that happens there are other GMs and coaches that have done the same thing so you can you can allow you can fire him yeah i don't like calling for a guy's head and i'm not saying you have to but he he's at a leash it's not one year two three four it's six seven or eight years he's been there that's long enough to understand what you he's compiled the Dylan cousins deal is the perfect analysis of like an awful trade. Like who would you rather have? Younger, locked in for the next six years, Dylan Cousins or injury prone older center Josh Norris. Well, we'd definitely like cousins. And then, okay, well, there's a second rounder involved.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Well, Buffalo gave it to Ottawa. How in the world? How? Yeah. People want us to talk flames. They've heard enough about the savers. I think that's probably fair. Seven goals last night, two empty netters.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Does count, though. But they do count. they do. You'll notice right here, seven, and I'm going to put it right because it just popped in. All you need to know is, well, do they count? Handsome Dan. There is. $10.10 a goal?
Starting point is 00:21:11 $70. There are. Claims are seven, two, and one of their last 10. You've got to love the work ethic, but man, is this frustrating. They keep this up and they'll finish around 103 points. Of course, there's very little wiggle room. One stretch at four and six. They'll be ninth again.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Sad face emoji. I mean, look, it's a really nice run. They're still in 29th. Like both those things are true, right? They're not going to win seven of every 10. They're probably going to win four to six out of every 10. Which is the bigger issue, which is where they fall in, to be honest. And to be fair, like there's how many teams in the whole league that are under 500, like five?
Starting point is 00:21:53 Like they're still on track to finish bottom five. It's just we're watching a hot 10 game run. That's what it is. it's a very good 10 game run and we watched an absolutely miserable one in October they're not this they're not that the truth's in the middle which is what we don't want
Starting point is 00:22:13 if the middle is 28th I'm fine with it but yeah if the middle's 23rd 22nd so the question it's hard to cheer against them though because they did well the problem with last things game there was a problem it was loose like Huska didn't like
Starting point is 00:22:32 the structure I said it know, the Sabres brawagia. I said, there's no way either coach is happy with what's going on up there. Also, just an observation. This game took forever. Oh, forever. We left early. If you're a seven o'clock start, you're done two and a half hours, nine 30, nine 40,
Starting point is 00:22:46 955. Let me hit the thing. Like, what do we? Penalties and fellas. Well, fellas, we wrap this thing up. They are playing good, though. I mean, sure they are. They are.
Starting point is 00:23:00 You can only play who your opponent is. They've taken advantage of home ice and a softer part of their schedule and they're playing well. They're. Wolf's given them some stability since the road trip. You gave up four,
Starting point is 00:23:14 actually gave up five because ones this allowed on the offside. Yeah, and a shitty goal against. And it was not a good one. So I don't know. Never happened. Didn't exist.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Right. That's erased from NHL history. Because I wonder if you said flames are going to, Sabers will get four or five. tonight how you'd feel going in. That's probably lost. Yeah. They've played the Sabres twice and
Starting point is 00:23:38 they've beaten them pretty badly twice. Although the other game, at least it was what, one one into the third or two two into the third. It was close. You know, they've still, they've lost twice to Nashville in the same breath, which is weird. They've split with Vancouver, another awful team. St. Louis has beat them their fifth from the bottom or whatever.
Starting point is 00:23:58 I don't know. I would say probably their record is what record is and then it'll be their record next week when that's their record. And then after Christmas, whatever record they have, that'll be it. That's their record. Yeah, that'll be the record of Christmas break. Yeah. But what about the end of the year?
Starting point is 00:24:16 Same. Yeah. This is a pattern that probably not going to change for the rest of it. No, there is a way that you can adjust your record, sort of maybe try to tilt the scales in your favor. They're not going to do that. And they would be trading veterans that are, you know, even pending free agents, for example. my God, they might be going the other way. Well, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:36 I mean, they hoodwinked a bunch of people last year and no, we don't need to trade Rasmus, this and that. And it's like, was last year success or was it a failure? Like in the grand scheme, big picture, 96 points, unreal. Overshoot your expectations by 16, 17 points. Incredible. Lost on a tie break to get in the plus. Was it successful?
Starting point is 00:24:56 It's like, well, no. If you were bottom 10, you would have kept that draft pick, you would have picked in the top 10 because instead you gave it to Montreal. Okay. And then it's like, okay, well, maybe if you're a little worse, you would have moved Rasmus
Starting point is 00:25:10 and you would have got more last year's deadline than this year's most likely, given what the market for D was. Like, it felt really successful because on ice it was, but long term it hurt them. It's a longer rebuild now. And I'm not saying,
Starting point is 00:25:24 you always talked about trading Rasmus last year without knowing anything as far as what trade talks or anything. All we know is the trades we saw. So are you going to keep this Rasmus trade? I just think that when you look at Brandon Carlo, who's a right shot defenseman
Starting point is 00:25:43 at almost the same salary and what he got for the Bruins and trade with Leifes and then you hear that Leaves went to Calgary first, couldn't get the other than went to Boston, and that I think most hockey people would prefer Rasmus Anderson to Brandon Carlo. I think it would be safe to say you had a first and a prospect of minimum on the table.
Starting point is 00:25:59 So is that good enough? I'm obviously. Hell yeah. Obviously Conroy's opinion is no. No. The question would have been, was he allowed and did he really market Rasmus? Or did they make their minds up that we're in eighth at the deadline? We're not selling.
Starting point is 00:26:13 We need them for a piece and we can deal with us in the summer. Oh, so you're smarter than con. I'm not saying that. Why do you hate con? Why do you hate con? I have lots of conifidence. My murieffidence is a little lower. Do you think that's what it was?
Starting point is 00:26:25 I think it's a big part of it. I think the owner has a real hesitancy to, embrace a rebuild unless they're forced into it. I don't know. Do you want to talk to them? The rest. Do you want to? Do you want to do it?
Starting point is 00:26:37 Is that right? Go ahead. Hey, Mer. Look, we're happy that you got a big pile of money and that you own this team and you spend the cap and there's a lot of resources for a winner here. But sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes a little short-term pain can be a huge long-term game. Thanks for your ear, Mayor.
Starting point is 00:27:05 That's well, so? Yeah. I mean, he didn't really tell him what. I think he's watched the last two minutes. He's familiar with business. Very familiar with business, but like, is he familiar with building a contender? To be fair. Not many.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Like, if you want to peg the flames over his time as majority owner, there's a lot of sixth to 12th in the west. That's the worst place to be in the standings, you could argue. Yeah, but you got to stop getting bent out of shape about the Anderson thing till it plays out. Well, I think they'll do fine.
Starting point is 00:27:34 I think it'll be a fine piece of work. It's just that you might get the exact same return. And didn't we almost put our weapons down at some point last year when they were right in the mix. Yeah, too. He, no, Pinder wanted a. Of course, but was there not a point where you could, well, it makes sense what they did. If we play this conversation for you a month ago, you'd be pulling your hair out.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Like, because this is what happens when you watch a seven, two and one. stretches you start to believe. No, I'm not. All I'm saying is I'm going back to last year when they were last year they were in a playoff spot. They were always. Right. So even though, yes, get this is this is not a team. This is not sustainable. I don't think this is what, but it's yeah, you're going to let them play this thing out. You're not going to take this guy out of the room because you've got a year left. You can trade them next year. Like there was all that stuff being said. And then you lose the pick because it's out of the top 10 and that people want to talk extension. It got must. You might make it, muckier.
Starting point is 00:28:31 We didn't really see the extension of them becoming as messy as it did. But that's what something for moving rest was this summer. Well, it is what it is. So you've got to deal with stuff as it comes. Last year it started the year, we were of the same opinion as what we have right now. Rebuild this shit.
Starting point is 00:28:46 But this is not going to work out. And then they played. And they played well. And Wolf came in and she played really good. And they were in the mix. And we had to say, well, go ahead, go for it. You've earned the right. to take a stab at it and not dismantle.
Starting point is 00:29:03 This year's different. You haven't earned that right. I just don't want them to earn it again. So are you fearful? Like I know you're a little bit. Because again, like projections are projections. But when you watch the group and you, you know, we take runs at them for saying winning culture and all that.
Starting point is 00:29:21 But like it's clearly group that is not quit at all. There's still belief in that. If you watch. None of the vets have said, get me out of here. If you watch those two organizations, you know what team you're betting. one. Yeah, which team believes in which one does. I'm not betting on the sabers. I'm betting on the flames if they're going to, if anyone's coming out of this. And when they get to the final bet the
Starting point is 00:29:37 overnight. That's right. So like you had said, this, so this run, seven, two and one, kind of erases that horrendous start. So in a way, I mean, they're not 500, but it's okay, let's, uh, so from this point forward, if they play the way they've been playing. I just wonder, you have to, we put so much stock into that team in the first 10 games like this, okay, this, this, Listen, I'm telling you, I'm still on team rebuild. I am. I think long term. But my fear is they're coming out of it.
Starting point is 00:30:08 That they're coming out of it. And now the rest of the way, they're going to be closer to being a. So let's say. I said that a couple weeks ago. I said, are these guys a last place team? And you guys, well, they don't score. They didn't. I still think they could be lost.
Starting point is 00:30:20 But again, like, we have to deal with pending free agents and veterans and things like that. But let's say they play 500 the rest of the way. Is that a reasonable expectation for the girls? group? I think of 500. Because if we erase the ugly nine game losing streak. What was there projections at the start of the year? 81? If they play 500 the rest of the year, they have 53
Starting point is 00:30:40 games left, that gives them 77 points if my math's correct. This might be a couple days old. But essentially it drops, they're still bottom five. Like if you're below 80 or at 80, like you're going to be a bottom 15, that's 500 the rest of the way. I can love with that. I can love with that too.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Why does it keep refreshing on their own date? God, The fear is they go on another seven, two, and one at some point, and they start their fingers at it. Look at the fat idiots in that room over there that don't have a clue what you're talking about. Oh, shit. Maybe we are. Right?
Starting point is 00:31:11 So they've got, sorry, 51 games, 51 points, 79 points. 79 points. 79 points, if you look at the bet 365 projections is exactly where they have. It's 79 and a half. And that's fifth from the bottom in the NHL. I am of, there is no. fears are wrong in me. But there's no fear in me
Starting point is 00:31:33 that or thought that they're making the playoffs. All of my fear is that there are four games above 500. Yeah. And now they're at 87 points. The real fear in the long term is that you're picking 12 and you don't get one of these four, three, four, five studs at the time.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Because that's what your organization needs more than anything. But how do you do that as an organization, as a coach and a GM? Because there's no effing way Husk is going down there going. These trade rasms. Like where are they? in the stands without Rasmus this year. Lower. He's been their bestie.
Starting point is 00:32:03 It's like fact. And so while you could justify on March 1st last year that they've earned the right, sure, but do understand that long term, you're delaying the trough. You're not getting through it quicker.
Starting point is 00:32:16 You're making it longer. And now you're going to entertain bringing guy back for his 30 year old season on the first year of an eight year deal potentially and he'll be declining right as this theoretical young core starts to get into the prime. I don't like that at all.
Starting point is 00:32:29 So I'm not backing you into a corner, so put on your GM hat. Yeah. What are you doing today? Well, I think behind the scenes, you're definitely letting it be known that Rasmus Anderson is absolutely available. So you're kind of letting the league know. Here's my ask that this is what I want. And if you want to jump the gun, give it to me now. But I'm going to get this.
Starting point is 00:32:49 And if I need to wait to the deadline, I'll do it. But this guy is on the move. And look, we got a lot of wingers. I'm listening on guys like. Ferrabee, Coleman, Sharon, like, no one wants Sharon. But point being, like, do you need Ryan Longberg? You got a Klapka? Like, I would try to open some space here.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Like, I'd like to see Matt Vigridden in the spring. Hansik's probably done for the year. That's too bad. Maybe POS facility is going to lace off again. Maybe isn't. We don't know this year. But, like, there's just a glott of wangers right now. Like, I would definitely be proactive in taking away pieces from this.
Starting point is 00:33:25 To what extent? Because you kind of walk in a fine line. Again, we're not trying to back in the corner. Rasmus in a forward. Okay, but Rasmus, what if everyone says no? Then you wait till the deadline. Then your team is still. Right, but you're still got.
Starting point is 00:33:38 No, but what you're saying is that your plan is to pull apart. Now they become, they play poorly. I've said multiple things. But one of them is that like if you took them out last year's deadline, you're clearly much worse. I'm aware of what is. If you can get what you want now, you do it. But I'm not taking like 50 cents on the dollar to get it. No, but that's right.
Starting point is 00:33:56 If you can get to 95 to. Because you also say that the best deals happen at the death. That's why I don't expect it to happen. So you could be, all I'm saying is we, maybe Conroy has let it be known. I think he probably has. Rass was Anderson's available. Yeah. I think that's fair.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Yeah. It's just that their president comes out and says the exact opposite thing, which is kind of frustrating. Yeah, I'm kind of changing. Yeah. Anyway, that's the messaging they want. So be it. I think they're stuck.
Starting point is 00:34:19 If they can't get what they want in a fair deal in return for Anderson, he stays here, plays really good, which he is, helps a team. win and now they're back in the mucky middle, which is what's happening. And so it's like, are you taking into account the lesser amount of points you'll get? Is that English? Fewer, whatever. Fewer amount of points you're going to get by moving, you know what I mean? It's a really good question.
Starting point is 00:34:47 How much less would you take to make this roster substantially worse and increase your odds of a top three pick? I don't know the answer to it. It's a good one for people in that front office, guys with computers that run numbers. Jack, get on a pender again. Talk to the owner. Talk to it. Talk to it. Do you this again?
Starting point is 00:35:03 Okay. Hey, Marr. Maybe I wasn't clear enough last time. Sorry to call you again. You must be busy. You didn't pick up. Leaving another message here. If we could move Rasmus sooner than later for something close to what you think's good value,
Starting point is 00:35:16 not only are you going to get young assets and speed up this rebuild, but you're also going to have a worst team this year and thus get a better player in the draft. go get him. Thanks, Mark. It's kind of like that secret Santa. Did you throw in the part of boat if you trade them sooner, you avoid an injury risk? Oh, shoot, yeah. Do you want to call them back?
Starting point is 00:35:39 Yeah, one more time. Okay. Jesus. Hi, Mer, sorry. Yeah, just didn't mean paying up. I had something else to add. Remember when Kristana was going down the tunnel every third game for like two months? We're pulling our hair out.
Starting point is 00:35:53 No injury risk on the flames when he's playing for the stars. it's get it going. Thank you. Bye. Ryan, bye. It's kind of murky. You talked about Tanna.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Like did you say, I got a dope. He's got, he's a smart guy. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if I,
Starting point is 00:36:12 I totally get what we're just bullshit. And I feel like if I, if I didn't love the deal, I'm not doing it yet. Yep. I think that's absolutely. I think there, I'm very confident they're going to get a nice return.
Starting point is 00:36:24 And so if you're not seeing things you don't like now, just wait. And, gets hurt and they miss out, will we crush him? Absolutely. Like, we will give them the business. He's only got two years left anyway, so we'll just run his ass over. Yeah. Yeah, and that's, that is,
Starting point is 00:36:39 that is every team with every rental, right? You can't control the injuries. We didn't really take a run at anyone for that either. Two years? F's that. It's, yeah, it's, all those guys got two year deals. Who's that? Oh, the management team. Sorry, I'm talking about players.
Starting point is 00:36:57 That doesn't scream. It's not a huge vote of confidence. No, it's, it's not inconsistent with how the owner likes to keep people under contract. You know what it is? It's putting pressure treated for your deck and not that composite. Yeah. Good for the short time.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Yeah, it's good. It's good. It's good. Yeah, we're probably going to have to touch it up in a couple years, but, you know, the composite. Like, I'd last for a lump. Yeah, I don't know. It's a little pricier. It feels pressure treated.
Starting point is 00:37:27 the way to go right now. I'm going to pressure treat. I don't like it, actually. I never brought up. I thought about him like two years? What the F? And I did too. It just seems like it's three.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Three years is kind of the thing. You know what it is? We were so fixed on why aren't they signing Connie when you saw it done? There was relief. Whereas if there was no relief and confusion. I can't imagine Conroy was running out the door this summer to sign a two year deal apparently. It seems a little bit.
Starting point is 00:37:58 be better. You take it if it's offered to you. Well, the worry becomes, do you? Because there's some prideful people out there and there will always be some sabres. Someone will take the job. But do you want people like Craig Conroy and Rob Ray that care about, like truly care about it? Or do you want someone that wants the job? 1 of 32. Here I come.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Let's see. Is it? Yeah, I'll go. And it ain't like Conroy hasn't put in enough time. Everyone's always a rookie gym. No, he's not. He's been around this for well over the decade. This is 15 years, you know?
Starting point is 00:38:38 Yeah. Like, yeah, he's been. Plenty of time. Done the pro scouting steering the ship, but he's running the brakes, right? He's done a good job. Like, they don't want to say it. But he's, he's, when you look at the team he inherited, he's rebuilding it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:53 And he's not being supported by, yeah, we like what you're doing. Carry on. Yeah. Two years? The other thing, though, next summer? It would be naive to say that this man has worked for this owner for 15 years and doesn't understand how he does business either. This is not at a left field.
Starting point is 00:39:10 And I think we've talked about this too. The other guy calls bluff. Not bluff. It's like, fine. F you, I believe. This still doesn't feel like it's Conroy's team yet. No, it's getting there. There's too many chefs.
Starting point is 00:39:20 There's too many cooks in the kitchen. Well, and look, what are the issues saddling the team? It's a lot of the prior regime's mistakes. Like, Connie didn't sign that. He wrote a deal. That guy was terrible. Well, that guy made a lot of deals and some of them were big wins. Terrible.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Some of them are big losses. Big night for our Igor, though, last night, eh? He had a goal to empty netter. They count. They count, Red. I didn't even know he got back on the ice because I was at the game and didn't see him. I knew he scored. Then I thought he sat the rest of the game.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Wow. Those nachos. What did you have last night? No. Monday. Right. Jeez. Would have been grumpy on the best.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Hot hot hot butter. Yes. How big are they? That's a gift. Jack, down to the dome. Let's go for a drink. Zamboni. Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:29 What he's talking about? Did you remember the gravy zambonies that the way? Yes, yes, yes. I imagine it's the same, but way bigger, right? Way bigger. Well, I didn't get one. I just saw it. It's for sale.
Starting point is 00:40:39 I was working. So you're telling me that you love popcorn more than any other human I saw. Don't you worry. It's on the list. Okay. B.C. Need it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Jack, can you call up the hearing loss clinic? they're, uh, well, I get you to go to the website for top shelf elf. Yeah. Uh, tomorrow at noon is when the top shelf elf. Got to get going. Tomorrow? Tomorrow at noon is when the auction ends. Happens quick.
Starting point is 00:41:08 So we are putting on the, uh, putting on the ritz, whatever you put on to, it's the ritz. Put it on the ritz. I don't want to say pressure, because they're not around to pressure anybody. What happens is you're in the kitchen and it's like, we need this done quick. Like, waiting, they're seated. They could sell time's coming quick. Put it in the server's coming into the microwave or something. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:41:32 I don't do that. The top shelf elf auction, it's our annual auction around the Christmas holiday. It is in support of Closer to Home, which is a great local charity. There are smaller charity, but they do so, so much great work in bringing Christmas to families that would otherwise not have it. They get gift cards and gift certificates and food vouchers and all kinds of things. And then in the days leading up to Christmas, the families who, have been deemed to have qualified for the assistance. Get that. They go shopping. They buy gifts. They buy turkeys and food and all that sort of great stuff. And that's where this money goes is to
Starting point is 00:42:08 help closer to home, help bring Christmas to those families. There's a bunch of stuff. The hearing loss clinic. Can we walk through these? We talk as we can go through all of them. We can do all of it. Sure. The storewall price pack. Now you've been talking to. That's a deal. I have. That's a deal. Oh, guys. Our garage is a disaster.

Starting point is 00:50:01 It's genius. Kids love it. Super great crowd. And I was going to say, what's sneaky about this is they have cultivated a strong following in a very short amount of time. Going to a surge game, the basketball is great. But because the crowd is so into it. It's rowdy.

Starting point is 01:05:11 That if you use some of these, the spirit around you is going to elevate, it's going to rise up. Love a tape. Rise up. Rise up. Rise up. Your ho, ho, ho will be in full, be in abundance. Mo, mo, mo. That's right.
Starting point is 01:05:29 So this one here, I don't know. It's just kind of one of those things. I don't know. It was just started a couple years ago. And the reason I bring it up is I've had some people say, you know, that's kind of like that. And it gets them thinking, that's what this whole thing is about. Yeah. The front yard tree.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Oh, what? It's a thing. The front yard tree. So that's my front yard tree. Is that a TM 66 front yard tree? Didn't have time for the TM 66. She just had to show that. So that trees, maybe I go over there with my TM66.
Starting point is 01:06:01 No, don't do that. Don't do that. That's a hell of a move, red. So it's just you on the front, because I have a tree, but it's not really. It's kind of a, you know, it's not a Christmas tree and you can put lights on it, but doesn't look very good. It's like, well, what if you just put a little tree in the front yard? I'm doing that today. Just a little guy, string some lights up.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Love it. Doesn't need to be anything fancy or expensive. It just needs to be festive. Yeah. So I had, you got one of those kind of Christmas tree stand deals all over. Plop her down. Plunk it in there. You big, I got snow there.
Starting point is 01:06:30 You pack her down. I'm a little worried. You can also take, if you have, if you have some spikes or something, you can tick, tick, because the ground is not really frozen yet. I guess it probably is. I don't know. Anyway, but there have been some people, I love your little tree. Little. That's nice.
Starting point is 01:06:46 The whole tree. I don't know. It's like an eight footer maybe. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how it's what I say. It's how you put the lights on it. Not how tall it is. And that's maybe I'll do that. Then all of a sudden, maybe the neighbors got one. You've got one. A lot of a street to go down. And you got to look at all the little trees, the front yard trees.
Starting point is 01:07:04 And I've got to rule every time I, walk by a Christmas tree, I have to have a drink. Yeah. You'd love it at my place. Come on over. Dinky poo. Oh, the bug, bumbo, which is also one of the keys to the BC.

Starting point is 01:13:02 What'd you tell? Today's the 9th. By the 18th, you got to get them. Then you're, Well, then I won't do it. No, don't let him Better later than never.
Starting point is 01:13:14 This is terrible language. I don't know. What did you tell them that you did? Well, it's just... You can tell them about the beagles. Why are they going with ranch and nacho cheese bugles? I know. Just have ranch.
Starting point is 01:13:25 Stop, guys, fellas. What are you doing here? Southern style barbecue, no. Pugals. Trying to make homemade nuts and bolts here, bugles are very... He is very... Because his mom likes to have peanuts.
Starting point is 01:13:37 and he's like, no. And she likes maybe the little mini Ritz crackers. Oh, yeah? No. Okay. And she would maybe take the cheez-ets, the little cheesy square deals. He's like, no.
Starting point is 01:13:49 No. There's no room, no time for that in my nuts and bolts. And usually we do have to do two huge. So this is someone that lives in your home is running your show. You know what? It's like Pender and I were talking in the pre-show. You just kind of pick winnable. Pick your about.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Battles, winnable battles? I don't have any. Yeah, you just kind of, hey, I'll have the butts and bolts with nuts or without or whatever.
Starting point is 01:14:16 If you guys want to battle it out, that's fine. It's not that I don't have battles. It's that I don't win the battles. Yeah. That is true, too. It's a difficult process. Do we have the update there,
Starting point is 01:14:28 Jack? Oh, Siri, you sent me another one? I sure did. Jack's not watching the show. He's doing something else. Christmas shopping, Jesse. The auction doesn't close until noon.
Starting point is 01:14:37 He's looking for bugles over there. Bontan Meets. Bon Ton Meets. Tell me about Bon Tonne Meets. That's the best. It was odd. I was actually thinking about Bon Tonne Meets yesterday because Raisin and I ate some steaks from Bon Ton Meets on Sunday.
Starting point is 01:14:57 And rave reviews. Raive reviews from the Western New Yorker. It's a treat coming out here. I'll tell you what you should. do is wait till the end of the holiday season here and try to go rushing in there and jam it's just Greg up with some cockamamie order get ahead of it call in cockamamie know what you're going to get if you don't know listen I got about eight 12 people coming over what can you recommend well we kind of like this do you want beef do you want chicken do you
Starting point is 01:15:33 You want turkey? Do you want lamb? Do you want sausage? Yep. Let the experts offer you some advice. You grab that box and you take it home and you wow. Everyone. All part of the BC. It is part of the BC. It's part of the process. It's about giving that spirit. But it is about planning. Give them lots of lead time. It's like, oh, maybe we do a thing on Christmas Eve. We do a thing on the 23rd.
Starting point is 01:15:59 Oh, we do a thing on New Year's Eve. All they both. Just contact Bonton meat. They've got seafood. They've got seafood. They have the desserts. That's right. My wife was all over me.
Starting point is 01:16:11 Cheesecake. Yes. Get the damn cheesecake. As soon as Greg text me. I know. I'll be right there. Get the Warner. Ready?
Starting point is 01:16:21 Get the truck. And do not fool yourself. Get some pre-made ribs and don't share them with Jack. Because he won't share them with you. He's not sure. Yeah, the bone picker. It's true. Oh, I could come the vulture.
Starting point is 01:16:37 He was picking those bones clean. Last year. On Christmas Day, we had a bunch of people over. I'm like, well, we're just going to blow it out. So I had the turkey. I had the ham, like a big ham going in the slow cooker type deal. And I put this, Greg had it all, the prime rib roast type thing. I'm going to put it on the grill outside because I don't have enough space.
Starting point is 01:17:00 I'm like, well, roll the dice. We'll see how this goes. it's like jeez you get stuff oh what time is it you go out there and you just like oh man
Starting point is 01:17:07 put the heat probe thing in it's like I think I overdid it brought the thing in and let it sit I don't even know if I'm going to serve but I think it may be wrecked it
Starting point is 01:17:16 I'll go take a look went in there that some bitch was perfect that's BCC perfect but then you want to be like Jack and not share and it's kind of like that
Starting point is 01:17:29 yeah but then that's when the raving starts like, oh my God, if you got beef, what is this? This is this primary? Yeah. Oh my God. So I think this is the best prime rib I've ever had. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:40 I think you're right. Yeah. Yeah. It is. Final bugle slash nut and some bolts update from my kid. Then we'll get to the Pinder report because time's a waste in here. That's great. I love it.
Starting point is 01:17:56 Again, the first message is for me. Rett needs two of the bags of bugles. Are you fucking kidding me? Fuck, Red. He's not getting shit. I am so serious. This is Christmas. For fuck sakes. This is what happens when you just go yapping about how good your nuts and bolts are. Everybody wants a piece.
Starting point is 01:18:12 No wonder, you and your big mouth. That is outstanding. He must think it's your rep. It's not me because there's no way he's talking to me, though. No, it's, yeah, he's, why are you telling people about our nuts and what are you doing? Holy. I didn't know he had such a pirate's mouth on him. What a sailor.
Starting point is 01:18:28 Yeah. Well, nuts and bolts. I'll get you. He cares. Yeah, there's a lot of things that You're messing with this Christmas spirit. You're going to get them. Kids in Christmas, they believe.
Starting point is 01:18:40 They believe. All one. Now I got to eat this, though. Well, you got a cage match with one of those kids. I do like them. And it's great. He loves them. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:54 They taste probably how you think they're going to taste, which is delicious. I feel like with all that butter, they got just fine. But it is. it's it's the process of doing it you're in the kitchen and you're i came home yesterday and the shoveler had the counters cover yep the baking has begun really it's a good time shovelerina love it love it she had that uh just the thing on yeah the apron apron that's it that's all yeah kind of like the asses chaps but it's just loves to bake oh wait a minute that's not the right button
Starting point is 01:19:33 All right, friends, it's time for the Pinda Report, brought you by our friends at Village Honda, the winter ready SUV event appropriately coming to you right as we get into winter. We're talking all-wheel drive vehicles, 4x4 is pre-owned, all makes all models, wide selection. Get on the website and figure out what they've got, head to the lot, take a look, get them out for a test drive. It's right weather to do that. VillageHonda.com and located in the Northwest Auto Mall. Celebrity Sighting on the Sabres television broadcast last night. Let's go to the action. Weeks.
Starting point is 01:20:06 Before I get kicked out of here, because I know I will, I just want to say that one of the best things about playing in Buffalo was the fans. And I want to make sure those fans stay strong. It's been a grind and it's maybe not gone as well as people would hope. We've got a team here that's trying to put it all together. And eventually there's going to be a championship for you to cheer for. and you fans of Bufler are some of the best around. So stick with us and stick to it. It's coming for us.
Starting point is 01:20:35 I also said brave face. Go, Bill's. I had way better takes, too. That's the clip you went with. I had some hot hockey, insightful stuff. Oh, don't bore us. That was great. Good point.
Starting point is 01:20:48 Yeah. Can't get to sports. Get to the chorus. The flames did destroy, dismantle, you know, They took care of business against the Sabres. They're two and O against the Sabres this season. Special Teams Fest. Neither coach would have loved the structure.
Starting point is 01:21:03 Let's go to the Flames website where Bobby Germany has a searing hot take. The Flames will not bottom out. It's a guy that's given unless they trade veteran players. Now, this is an opinion piece. He builds a case for why they need to trade veteran players to help this along. And his fear, not unlike many other Flames fans, is that this team might just play well enough to get themselves out of the, you get to draft a star range of the draft.
Starting point is 01:21:31 It's not an uncommon fear. So we're not alone. We're not alone. Now I did some research. I threw this one up. Here are three public models that I like to go to for projections. We're emotional. We overreact to small samples.
Starting point is 01:21:46 We watch every game and we overanalyze. What if you just backed up? Athletic is the flames on track for 73.9 points. That's second from the bottom. That's good. fresh 74 points very similar, 29th. And at Bet 365, they're now currently fifth from the bottom at 79.5 as they're over under for points on the season.
Starting point is 01:22:04 So this would say, ease up, Bobby. We're still on Mission McKenna. But it's hard to watch this 10 games and not think that that isn't Jeopardy. It's been a very lovely run of 7-2-1 now, 3-0 on the homestand. I wonder what it looks like when Conroy and Huska get together. If they just kind of stand there in the doorway going hands on hips. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you don't want to start a player to work with next year.
Starting point is 01:22:47 Well, I'm the coach. You hired me to win games. Yeah. I'm trying to get your better players for next year. Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm. I love what's like I don't know. I bet you it is. I don't think they even talk anymore. There's something. Oh, wow. Jesus.
Starting point is 01:22:59 There's odds. Reminder why you want to pick Kai? Apparently now we may even have a five horse race. I love horse racing, right? Overall pick at the draft. One of our finest draft nerd Stephen Ellis at Daily Faceoff is called a list of five players that are getting some buzz. Dan's brother?
Starting point is 01:23:20 Matt. Matt. Sabres coach. Who's the goalie? It's an Ellis too. Yeah, Colton. So many Ellises. God, I know a lot of these else.
Starting point is 01:23:29 Obviously, you're most likely number one at this juncture of the season is Gavin McKenna. Who's this guy? You also have Keaton Verhoff, the right shot defender at NoDak. And you've got Ivar Stenberg, who is lighting up the SHL. It's just for McKenna. Just one more time. Gavin McKenna. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:23:49 Stenberg is on pace to have the highest scoring. draft season ever in the top Swedish league. How are you not picking him? More than the Sines, more than Naslin, more than any Swedish player that's played with men in their draft year, which are many, many stars in that group. Swedes hated here.
Starting point is 01:24:06 Swedes hate it here. So we'd love it here. Oh, yeah, back. He loves it. Anderson loves it. Lindholm loved it. Then he hated it. Can't get him out of here.
Starting point is 01:24:16 Doesn't want to leave. Maybe we'll get this guy. And then this guy here is Chase Reed. He's a right shot defender from Sue St. Mary. I got a lot of right shots. Playing in the OHL. He's having a wonderful year and was a player that you and I watched at the top prospects.
Starting point is 01:24:35 If I'm getting a right shot defenseman, I want that kid for Prince George. Okay, very good. Ethan Belchets is also getting some buzz. He's 6.5.2.30 playing for the wins. I didn't like him in that game either, but he's a monster. You can dream on the size. More than likely, though,
Starting point is 01:24:51 it's the McKenna Verhoff-Stenberg, one, two, three. What about the Mahalja kid? I like the Mahalach kid a lot in that game. I'd take him. Yeah, I like him. We don't need to be last to get a good player, do you?
Starting point is 01:25:02 Maybe you got Vegas' first rounder. Use that on the Mahaljah kid. That's right. How are they doing? They're okay. Everything's mucky middle. Just like a couple teams at the top, a couple of the bottom.
Starting point is 01:25:13 Everyone else is just in a clon. Long season's going to be a lot of hockey. Tough sport. Also of note, zero centers. in that list of five. This is a weak center crop. Oh, so we should stick to our guns.
Starting point is 01:25:28 Tinen Lawrence was the MVP of the USHL finals. Last year is a 16-year-old. He is a center. He is 6-2. He is a big-bodied young fellow that is dominating the USHL. He's likely your first center off the board.
Starting point is 01:25:40 I wonder where he goes. And if the flames do. So my halter was a sin. He probably is, but he's not as ranked as high as this kid yet. But against early, it's midterms, right? Who's making these decisions? The draft nerds.
Starting point is 01:25:51 Yeah. I actually heard people talking about this on a radio show. It was painful. Yeah, let's move about it. We're doing this radio. It's this radio thing. I'll drive around a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:00 I don't want to be at home. Can you hear of the static? All the static? I love a. AM signal. So, gosh. So current.
Starting point is 01:26:07 I put in an eight track. Throw a cassette in my alpine. This is the fourth and final game of their homestand. They're three and O in the homestand, fellas. It's tomorrow night. It's Detroit. It's Detroit. It's Detroit.
Starting point is 01:26:18 Is Detroit part of that big mucky middle that every team's in minus like five? Are they in there too? There is a lot of that. God, it's like crazy. Do we like this? And so just for context, the Cowvery Flames are four points out of a playoffs out of last place, three out of a playoffs.
Starting point is 01:26:33 Detroit's in first. Yeah, like Detroit's got 35 points to lead the Atlantic, but there are two points up on Philadelphia who's out. What the hell are we doing here? There's your bottom 10. Come on, Atlantic. Figure it over, idiots. A bunch of losers.
Starting point is 01:26:48 There's no Atlantic. There's no Atlantic in the bottom 10. Look at that. Everyone's out of there. Ever since Rhett told Florida, they've been on a heater that I'm in the bottom 10 anymore. Buffalo.
Starting point is 01:26:58 Don't know what. Thank you. Let's go to the games last night. Take a peek, shall we? Flames of the touchdown there. That's a lot for the lowest scoring team in the NHL. Kings double up the Mahmout, 4 to 2 in Salt Lake City.
Starting point is 01:27:13 The mammoth. Have lost six of eight, Ryan. Yes, I know. Come back to Earth a bit. And the Leaves, who we had written off as, dead. They've been on a nice little run. They're doing it with their third string
Starting point is 01:27:24 net miner Dennis Hildeby the Hildebeast. 4-0 and 1 in their last 5. That's a nice little run. The assistant GM in Saskatoon with the Blades? Don't want the Hilda Beast. No. The Tampa Bay has lost four in row. And they were red hot. Can't figure this league. There's the wings. They're on the road
Starting point is 01:27:40 already. Big road swing for them. They will play tomorrow in Calgary. And then Thursday in Edmonton, it's their third game in four nights and fourth and six. The Vancouver team is committed. They are committed. And if they trade Quinn years, they're going to get way worse. They are committed. And the Wilde beat Seattle. Remember Seattle got off that great start? They're just getting pumped
Starting point is 01:28:01 every time now. They've fallen into the bottom of ten. Gross. Two wins in their last eight. So there's peaks and valleys for a lot of teams during an 82 game season. Seems like it, Rhett. Sure does. Yeah. There is. Sorry. Monday Night Football, what it lacked for in entertainment, value for the, oh, sorry, games tonight. Gross.
Starting point is 01:28:23 Ew. Lots of tonight, Rhett. By my count, 10 games. How many teams in action, Dean? 21. How about that? And some great ones in there. Pittsburgh Penguins.
Starting point is 01:28:35 Anaheim ducks. Look, I mean, quack. Quack. Flightless birds against flying birds. Malkin on IR guys. Oh, what? Week to week. Brasers back, though.
Starting point is 01:28:46 Who? Brasers. And Ricky Racks, almost. how's our new coach doing? What's his name again? Dan the man. Dan the man. Malkins on IR but they got browsers and Ricky racks for Dan the man.
Starting point is 01:29:01 Got that retro? That's a lot there. Yeah. B. C.E. B.C. Matthew Schaefer, the super rookie is hosting Vegas. They've been a nice little roadie.
Starting point is 01:29:13 What can you feel? That's good. Remember the devils? We're like, tops and. Yeah. They're out of a spot today. But how many points won? But they were like...
Starting point is 01:29:23 It's just so tight. It's crazy. Sends we thought were the best team in Canada. They're out of a playoff spot. Habs are out of a playoff spot. Woo! Winnipeg's in the bottom 10. They host Dallas.
Starting point is 01:29:32 And if you want first against worst... It's in trouble. If you want first against worst, we have Colorado against Nashville. We're currently to talk to these teams and owners. Get to your albums. Should we have when you talk to the Oilers? Well, well,
Starting point is 01:29:43 friggin Nenshi. It is a Stanley Cup rematch between the Bruins and the Blues in there. I thought you were going to say the Sabres. And the Sabres, obviously massive favorites, second of a back-to-back on the road in Edmonton. Emerton, your goaltending's fine. Don't address it. Win 8-0. Go.
Starting point is 01:30:01 Keep it up. Keep it up, guys. BC. Monday night here last night, what it lacked in entertainment value, most of the way it made up for with a thrilling finish as teams, the Chargers and the Eagles needed overtime. It was a tipped pass that was immediately picked off the end of the game as the Chargers got a field goal, 56 yards from Dicker the kicker in overtime to beat the Eagles. Both teams were 8 and 4. Now obviously Philly 8 and 5 and the Chargers, 9 and 4.
Starting point is 01:30:30 That's huge if you are dancing on the grave of the Chiefs because that's one team that they had a game. That's high pad is going to do much for you. I don't know. I do wonder about that thigh pad. Do you really like you? You know what I always wonder about is the shins. You got no protection on your shins. Boy, you got to be kicking helmets.
Starting point is 01:30:48 High fighter. And if you notice the left hand of Justin Herbert there, it was broken seven days ago and he played through that and ran for, I think, over 50 yards, he's a maniac. It's quite good. Jalen Hertz, zero touchdowns, four interceptions, 40 plus pass attempts. No, boy, no.
Starting point is 01:31:09 I made a little mistake on the old Met 365. I tried to parlay the Herbert pick with the Hertz pick, but I accidentally made it touchdowns and Hertz didn't throw one. No, he didn't. Goddamas. No. That's user error. That's not your fault.
Starting point is 01:31:21 I had a nice one on the weekend. It was, there was a string of QBs to throw two or more touchdowns. Somehow, Baker Mayfield. What? Didn't get to. Baker. Mike Evans might be back this week.
Starting point is 01:31:32 Costs for them. Thursday night is coming up. Speaking of Baker, he gets the, what the hell are you, Atlanta Falcons with Kurt Cousins. Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt. I don't know what they are.
Starting point is 01:31:45 The buck's getting healthy. They're hard to figure. Mike Evans this week. And that's just two days away. Now, the crazy story of the NFL season may have just happened yesterday. What? As the Indianapolis Colts, we saw them lose Daniel Jones last week. The backup that came in, hurt.
Starting point is 01:32:01 What do they do? They pick up the old phone and call in a goddamn legend, a GD legend. We have an update on this, by the way. Philip Rivers. Shut the front. Worked out with the Colts. Talks were ongoing. Talks are now done.
Starting point is 01:32:15 He's been signed to the practice roster. They don't know what. the fuck they're doing. Do you understand that? The beautiful part about this is, A, it's Philip Rivers, who's one of the gems of all time. But B,
Starting point is 01:32:27 Phil is a grandfather. His youngest of like 11 kids is slightly older than his first grandchild. He could be playing in a game in the NFL as a grandpa. That's good. Yeah. Incredible stuff.
Starting point is 01:32:45 Tough schedule for the Colts. Seahawks. Niners, Jags, Texans. That is bad. Yeah, that's not... That's bad. But rather than your third stringer, you get a guy that was like a perennial pro bowlers in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, it's good.
Starting point is 01:33:00 I don't know. But he's also 44. That's bad. And if he goes... I was reading this morning. I forget who it was. I think it was maybe Schaefter. Say if he plays, if he comes...
Starting point is 01:33:11 If it's practiced roster, that's one thing. But if he gets into the active roster, his Hall of Fame thing has to reset for another five years. So it would be like 90 by the time he's eligible. That's bad. That's, yeah, that's not good. It's bad. But if you were to save the cold season, what an incredible mark on his resume. Yeah, it's good.
Starting point is 01:33:27 And he does not have a Super Bowl yet. And if he won one there, that would be crazy. Yeah, it's good. Really good. Yeah. Okay. Speaking of Rivers, the trash talk, exceptional. Not bad.
Starting point is 01:33:38 Really good. Here we go. Hey, y'all can't play with 12, Greg. Can't play with 12, Greg. Hey, Greg. You can only play with 11, Greg. JT. Don't dance with him.
Starting point is 01:33:52 Run him over. I'm dancing with him. You weren't even close to making that play. You got a hand on it. You weren't even close. Hey, pooch kick right over here. It's you, N-N-N-N-N. Hey.
Starting point is 01:34:03 They got a little blistered things. Awesome. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Oh, honey. Whoop. Whoop. Oh, that baby. Golly.

Starting point is 01:35:07 Phil. Phil, we got your back. For all the grandpas up there. Take it to him. I'm getting a 17 jersey. Love that Phil Rivers. Speaking of football, it was schedule release day in the CFL. Love to see that.
Starting point is 01:35:17 We told you the stampedeers going to open at home. Oh, mama, two in a row. You start with the Blue Bombers. June 5, 7 p.m. Then look at that. Week 2 by, followed by Saskatchewan, June 20, Red. At McMahon, the defending champs coming to Calgary. Get your watermelons.
Starting point is 01:35:36 Well, it might be a little bit more. So week four, touchdown, Colona. That's right. They're playing BC in a neutral site game. Road trip at Colona. What time of year is it June 27? That's going to be mint. And then the Stampede Bowl, the second annual.
Starting point is 01:35:52 We got a big jail, bring the trophy in again. Get Jack out there. We'll get them, Jack. You know what Jack is? 1 and 0 at the Stampede Bowl. Jack's undefeated at McMahon with Stampedeers. Unbelievable. And they start with three or four at home.
Starting point is 01:36:07 I love that. Let's go. What's the date on that June 5th, the first game? June 5. and then obviously the stampede ball is the night before stampede starts. So that's Thursday, July 2nd. That's also the day that we've got the wonderful Rhonda and Cody Snyder Bull events, right? At the Griegel.
Starting point is 01:36:27 I believe that's the Griegel. Yeah. That's outstanding. Go bid on that right now. And again, we also have the Stampeders tailgate parking pass, sideline passes, four tickets on home opener. There's your date. There's your team. It's the bombers in Calgary on June 5th.
Starting point is 01:36:43 Go get them, stamps. Hell of a turnaround year. Nice. And oh, by the way, did we note this? Look at the fine print at the bottom. 113th Great Cup in Calgary. Sunday, November 15th. Great Cup.

Starting point is 01:43:39 Damn close. Close. Like. Dagnamet. Dagummit. Dagummit. Well, I'd say it'll be better next week, but I don't know that that's true. just hold
Starting point is 01:43:51 just to stop for a second are you checking math this is not his expertise no it's just what felt so good so Houston Houston won outright yeah they're great the Rams are cruised
Starting point is 01:44:03 Rams are easy now so the Packers lost by seven that was six and a half Broncos how did you do that test Denver dirty Denver seven
Starting point is 01:44:16 seven and a half the bill They went by five. Five and a half. Saints went out right over the Buccaneers. That's tough. That's a blow. Saints.
Starting point is 01:44:29 No one was on the Dolphins and Jets, right? We talked to it. Yeah, you were on. Okay. So dolphins win, dolphins win huge. That was a cake walk. Dolphins are they look okay.
Starting point is 01:44:37 I don't know how. They look so bad the first month and a half. I thought they quit on that guy. Was anyone on the commanders? No, no one had that game. No, Minnesota is the one game.
Starting point is 01:44:46 No one had. I think it was Minnesota. I think it was Minnesota. Yeah. Yeah. They beat him pretty good. lacked them, but Minnesota was like, oh, for sure I took the Jags. That was the divisional game against Colts.
Starting point is 01:44:56 I wouldn't trust this guy. I don't know what the hell, because I was for sure was on the, just the Colts was. So you're telling us that you made different picks, but this is no, I kind of programmer. We questioned Jack's auditing ability. Titans went out, right? Oh, Steelers win, of course. Gross.
Starting point is 01:45:14 The Seahawks cruise. That was a Tomlin game. Mike T. he. How to fire him. Until you can lock into 90s. Cabbittance really yelling, eh? Is he yelling nectar?
Starting point is 01:45:28 Bears, bucks. Eagles. What are you hoping to accomplish your? Rams. He's just doing his audit. I'm just making sure. It's like you always say. We got to keep an eye on Jack.
Starting point is 01:45:37 I think he's a bit of a. Oh, he's a shyster. Absolute shyster. Daggummit. Dagummit. Dagummit. Not great. You know what, Dean?
Starting point is 01:45:50 they were the right picks. They were the right picks. We got screwed. What are you going to do? We were kind of like a point and a half away from being so smart. Oh, can you imagine if they'd gone the other, like half a point? The fix wasn't in. We would have run the table.
Starting point is 01:46:04 Yeah. Stupid Raiders. What is the opposite record of all our picks? Jack, shush. Jack, go away. You'd be very happy. Maybe there's some strategy in that. The vitamin.
Starting point is 01:46:17 Maybe the people watching have been like, guys, you don't need to explain it to us. We've been taking opposite. fading your picks all season. I love for my sports. But this vitamin B there tell me to take is not helping. We've been fading your picks and actually our flight to the Bahamas for Christmas leaves in nine days. Yeah, we're staying for two weeks. They had a deal on.
Starting point is 01:46:39 Jeez. Wow. Bet 365. It's not as hard as we make it out to be. But you know what? We still have some fun. And that's what it's all about. We bet responsibly.
Starting point is 01:46:48 We get a little juice going. The games are more exciting. Sundays are a blast. I'm so excited for the playoffs because we all go to zero and zero, hey. That's right. Oh, yeah. Whatever your bet is, it's never ordinary at Beth 365. Download the app, get in and the game.
Starting point is 01:47:01 Must be 19 or older. Now, you would have hit the Hampton, right? Did he get 50 plus? He had a big run in overtime for 18 yards, which is huge. Marion Hapton running back for the Chargers. They were using that Vidal a ton, though. Yeah. And you had the under on that hockey game.
Starting point is 01:47:18 That did not pay at all. And it was. No, no, no, no, no. still not sure what we watched last night. I'm not either. There was 11 goals, two empty netters, one goal disallowed, Slop Fest, game took forever. How many penalties did you have?
Starting point is 01:47:32 Too much. Was it like six a sign or something gross? Well, we had some, yeah, it's. Flames went two for five. And the one for five, five on three. It's like, yeah, it was a parade. That was a week worth of NHL action in one game. All the goals, all the penalties, all the defensive miscues.
Starting point is 01:47:50 Who are the stars lost? Look at a whiteboarder. A three stars. Nazim Codry. 3.9. Yigore Sharon Govich. Our Igor. Rasmus Dahlene.
Starting point is 01:48:02 Anderson was good again. Anderson was good again. 25 minutes, 49 seconds, four shots, a goal. Do you do a trade this guy? Three blocks. Five minutes a night. He's so good.
Starting point is 01:48:14 We might keep him, guys. You're going to have to up your offers. It's not, I mean, the goal is, you know what, broken stick. These are a couple of shitty goals. Plink. It just got a will worm burner.
Starting point is 01:48:26 He couldn't find anyone to look at it either, it felt like. Was he giving up to stare down? You're right. I didn't notice that. There's Coronado. We get a couple helpers, I believe. Yeah, Coronado 2. Yon Kuznetsoff, goal, and an assist.
Starting point is 01:48:41 Yon's been really steady. I've been quite impressed. That's a guy that was on waivers at the beginning of the year. Anyone could have had them. Backland, empty netter? Do you question their ability to, to evaluate if they're no they just said a lot of guys although we did stand here and say you know you could pull it being a merrimanav on waivers and keep salovia up because that's up
Starting point is 01:48:59 but hey they know one of the two through he played a ton of the eight and he's come up a better player than your manov's top four guy seven two and one what the hell do you pay a big a million being your top four is not that's he is a top four it's just in the american way swing and a mess uh tomorrow on the show oh jamy mcclennon will join us Well, it gets a beef to deal with. Yeah, I don't know who what, you never know what guys watch the show or whatever. He's pretty up to be.
Starting point is 01:49:29 During the course of this show, I got a text from Jamie McLennon. Really? When was Razoron? Oh, dear. So it feels like maybe. Baltimore's can't miss noodles. Word's gotten back.
Starting point is 01:49:41 He's well connected. Nothing gets by noodles. Castile widen it? Yeah, maybe word has gotten back to, to him on. that. And do we have a final update on your son? How's he handling all this? I'm going to send you one last one and then we can call it a day. I'm worried about them. You're kind of, I want to make it supposed to be jerking them around cold as hell this week. I'll get you the bond. Do we do it on the thing? I'd like it's, I don't know how many people care about. Well, it could be BCE content, I guess. Oh, hey, that's your list, man. If you're willing to go public with your recipe. I don't know how, I mean, it's that don't get. You got time to. think about it. No, it's, but there's no
Starting point is 01:50:22 don't tell secrets. You need to put out just a little bit of this and the key to it is this. Key Limes. You need key limes for these buns. Milk. Flower. Flour. Rise. Deau. What kind of yeast? What kind of yeast?
Starting point is 01:50:36 Yeah, right. Do you any of that yeast at my house? You take it all. I took it home. Yeah. It's in every store. It's pretty standard. What's it called? Well, it's just the quick. Remember when I said kids are next level stupid? Yeah. They didn't come home for lunch at all.
Starting point is 01:50:55 Just no lunch. Just getting a tough it out. They're grinding. Yeah. That's like you. You fast on Mondays. So the last communication with my son, as you remember, was Redd needs two bags of the bagels. Bugles.
Starting point is 01:51:07 Or the bugles, thank you. You can use bagels too. Yeah. And I said to him, he's like, are you have to get me, F, Redd? He's not getting this Christmas. Just see you and your big mouth. You go telling people how good it is. So then it was quiet for a while.
Starting point is 01:51:19 And I didn't respond. So I think he's worried by my lack of communication. Tell your buddies to go on Amazon and wait until New Year's for them to come in. Please tell me you're kidding. So he is very concerned that you're going to come calling. Do you bleep with them all the time or is this like very out of left field? Like he's definitely. See, he wants to believe you're kidding.
Starting point is 01:51:42 But he doesn't believe you're kidding. I barely hear from him. I was telling you if the only time I get text is, Oh, do you think I should drop? Chris Godwin and nuts and bolts. So it's whatever matters. The important things are like.
Starting point is 01:51:56 Yeah. BC. Yeah. So. Well. Well. We have any super stuff? Super chat. Yeah, we could do some of that
Starting point is 01:52:06 before we get out of here. You did the happy Dan earlier. Handsome Dan. Yeah, we did Handsome Dan. You centers of Calgary, they benefit during the live show. If you're watching, you put some money down. We give the money to charity. Put your comment on the show. Working man.
Starting point is 01:52:23 Five bucks. If my wings can't beat this flames team tomorrow night, they are still frauds. Loll. Didn't he have some bet with his boss or something? He had to talk positively about the wings. Yeah, that's not going well. Hang in there working man. What did we say about the wings? They, uh, first place. And one point out of the place. Wings are three, oh and two in their last five. Oh, big roadie here for them. died. And they get the, not unlike Buffalo tonight,
Starting point is 01:52:51 they'll get the Oilers on the second of back to back on Thursday. Great jerseys. Great jerseys. Look at the wheel and the wing. Remember when the wings would come to town? It's like, Hmm.
Starting point is 01:53:03 Lidstrom. Shannie. Hall of fame. Steve Y. Hall of favor. A few years later. Well, it's a different team, but,
Starting point is 01:53:12 Lidstrom. All famer. Hachick. All famer. Datsuk. Offenderberg. Working man back in two bucks. Tage Thompson is a weapon when he wants to be.
Starting point is 01:53:23 You're damn right. God, is he good. He can shoot it. Are you saying his give a crap meter? Flickers? I don't know if it's off, but it's got a bit of the buffaloitis. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:53:32 I think it's a team thing. You're right. That shot. It's a parasite. God, he can rip it. There was two things because Zucker makes the pass to him through the seam and Coleman is kind of down to block it.
Starting point is 01:53:45 I don't like, Coleman clearly doesn't. see him to take away the pass. But then as you turn towards it, it's like, oh, shoot. He's shooting this thing as both he and even Zuckers like, oh shit. Please, please hit the net or something.
Starting point is 01:53:59 It's not me. Guy can fire it. Remember how they got him? Ryan O'Reilly. So there it is. Blumen prospect. He's a big, he's a big man.
Starting point is 01:54:17 I don't know what the expected goal on that, but I know when Tage is shooting it, that's a goal. I think even Wolf was like, just Please put it in the nut. Don't hit me with this thing. Just got this painted. All right. Scab it all up.
Starting point is 01:54:28 Cheeks McGee. Chicky. 499. Rett is a Chad for sure when he was younger. Also, Rhett, you played A-O-E, right? A-O-E.
Starting point is 01:54:40 What civilization did you use? I really wasn't into the A. I tried to keep up with those other guys and then I'd get confused. Is it Ferrence and Iggy, you said? Yeah. Jack. Kipper, let's go for a drink. I don't even know the civilization.
Starting point is 01:55:02 Cheeks McGee calling you a chat. I don't know. That's not very nice. Even lowercase the chat. What's a chat? I don't think it's good. Doesn't feel good. No.
Starting point is 01:55:10 Feels a little smart. Screw are you, cheeks? That's right. Cheeks McGee. Five bucks does shit talk me? That's right. Head butcher. Head butch.
Starting point is 01:55:25 Jeremy Barbergell. fellas. Two empty net goals. Think of the kids. So I think Jeremy was in with the empty netters, right? Wasn't you doing five bucks an empty there? Yeah. Two of them last night. Sweet.
Starting point is 01:55:39 Barbe Gello. Very nice. 9212. I thought it was, so was it like $4.99 per empty net goal? It's just the games they score an empty net. Okay. Maybe he's coming with another super. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:55:50 Not sure. Team eight. 13. None of that. I may be to blame for recent wins. coming back from Calgary, I picked up some flames hats. Every time I wear this particular hat, the flames of won. So the hat will be placed in retirement after B-O-A's.
Starting point is 01:56:08 Yeah, the two battles of Alberta coming up, I'm ready for the flames to win a bit and then stop winning after they're done in the season series of the Oilers. Nothing like celebrating the holiday season. Yeah. If you could go three and O in the season series against the Oilers and finish dead last, it's pretty much a dream season. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:56:22 Put them on the shelf. Yeah. Trade Rasmus right after the second Oilers game. And then throw those hats away, yeah. We have an update on the chat. It's a good thing, right? Confident, masculine male. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:56:33 I didn't say the chat was bad. These guys. I thought it was a bad one. Called some of the chat. He has no idea. He just says shit. Correct. I thought it's always negative.
Starting point is 01:56:41 I've heard it. I just didn't think it was a comp. He called you a Chad. What's that all about? Oh, that's the thing. Yeah. You pleb? You simp.
Starting point is 01:56:50 Chad? Be careful. Alpha. Beta. You don't know what those things mean. Yeah. Six seven. Get you canceled.
Starting point is 01:56:56 Shrimp. on the Barbie. Tripping the Bobby. Does Rhett O. Sharky? The hell do I owe him an apology for? Was he out there dominating? Did it hit him and go in the net? Are you go in the net?
Starting point is 01:57:08 That's better than nothing. Second star, Rhett. How dare you? Yeah, he was driving the bus. He loves to take over games. He's got six. But we should have bet on him to score. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:21 So no apology coming then? I don't apologize for talking shit. Asked McKinsey, how that works. What did I say? I said he doesn't look engaged. He doesn't. Sharky?
Starting point is 01:57:35 I think we all kind of sunk our teeth into old sharky. Sharon Govich for people who don't know what, like a man, what we're talking about. We've been critical. You get back up to 25. I'll apologize. Okay.
Starting point is 01:57:49 Two Aussie dollars. The other thing about it is it's not really just points. Like Joe Colburn scored 17, four in one game. Didn't have any impact. on the season at all. Once we were eliminated, heater that he went on playing with
Starting point is 01:58:06 Gidreau, special, special spring. Nice. Next. That's all? That's all. That's all? That's enough. It's a good day.
