every breath it's nice what they call it expressing is it starting to oh yeah stay in the room just make it your own room stay home beautiful yeah

yeah it's a green yeah oh how was uh did you get up to Shelbyville on the weekend no there's no effort way I was going to Shelby yeah that's probably the call staying home not going to Edmonton

always good moves it hasn't been a good series for the Northeast stars there was a good meme about that on the weekend something about that yeah Warner Hey Warner

Where do you live With the Dyrr? People know People know You're not sneaky enough, rats You need more rental properties

In the Northeast All the paperwork Signed sealed And delivered Yeah Approvals stamps And all sorts of What do you need the

Yeah You know what it is I think it's the Mumbo Jumbo Yeah You got all the mumbo-jumbo taking care of. The club lock. Yeah.

If you get your kid into an association, you shouldn't be in. There were some dusty Oilers fans, too, at the kids game last. Really? Hey? Not up there. I can't decide if I want to bring it up because they, we're losing, so it just sounds like. Sour grapes. Yeah, sour grapes.

But there were two kids dressed up in the green. Soot. More suits. Sure. And so they came to the penalty box where there was a penalty. Right. And the drunk dad decided to defend the kids in the penalty box by the drunk oiler conk by bringing his cowbell. And then like literally in their faces, ringing it.

Like if they were actual adults, the guy would have got stroked a good one and rightfully so. But the kids were like, they were like little 12 year old kids just trying to have fun. Just kids, kids, he showed them. Yeah. That's right. Not on my watch. Zahar house. We're doing that again.

Won't be doing that again. You darn kids. So the shoveler and the kids are all in those skin-tight green suits. That's exciting. I should look great. I really appreciate it. Team.

Claire. Wonderful. Yeah. Sports team. Sport the team. Can I ask a question, Dean, since you're not sure where to go? Well, I was just, yeah, go ahead.

So I've had a bit of bad rough. a bad run here the last week. We feel for you. And I don't want the negativity to continue on and, you know, get back on the horse and right off into the sunset, so to say. Are we willing to, because the flames are screwing us by winning these games. But with Bender's math that he was going to, and I don't know if he ever did end up doing, do we really care if it's second or third?

Well, that's what I was going to say. Um, question. You know what, it's complacency can happen fast. You kind of just assume that things are going a certain way and that's how it's going to go. Well, three to row is not, you know, and cards. Well, again, just go ahead. Um, we can look at the standings, I guess. If, uh, because that's all that's, that's all we have now.

The math will math. That's all we have. The team is going to do what they do. The, uh, the other teams are going to do what they do. All we can sit is, as observers just sit here. and oh you guys got that envelope to Gary when he was in town we filled that with the change we found in our couches and just add it to the pile need your help with the lottery balls here so i mean on one hand tied it's 65 points it's really no different you're you have a share of 31st place in the national hockey league but there have been two teams that you've leapfrogged in other that hold upside down tie breaks yeah that have some different tie breaks and what have you you you see see four 64s and 65s and 70s and there's some 26s and 28s. So what it is, you know, flames of won three in a row.

And they have now moved up to 29th. Don't like it. Saboteur was at it again last night. Yes, he was the saboteur. And he's given great quotes. Oh, everybody's just captivated by these post-games things. Oh, he's so cute. So funny.

Hey, put a sock in it, dude. Where's Prasvitz off? Where is that guy? Sit this coolly down this show on. Kron is in the building. Seriously. You live in down there. Right in front of you.

You can't miss him. Why don't you pop by my house in the northeast? And we'll give you a little taste of the retro cold medicine. That's right. Settle down, Kooley. That's right. Did not have, you know, because we, you know, strike the schedule and you start, look ahead here.

Boy, did not have Tampa Bay, Carolina in the wind columns when we started this exercise. There is something in common with them. those two. Both had big emotional wins in Edmonton the night before. And ditto, Carolina. Everyone hates Edmont. Everyone. Everyone. Everyone wants to punch him in the face. Edmontons.

I don't think Matthew Cichuk's fond of it. Adel Burton's hate Edmontons. Yes. I'm not even sure Leon likes it. I mean, he got out of there as soon as he could. I'm hurt. So I'll be gone. Oh, you don't want the horse doctor helping you out? We're over at North Lions here.

He's like a dog ready. Yeah. He's the greatest festival city in the world. What are you doing? No, the flames, what are you going to say? I mean, you know, come on. You tip your cap, but you also get a little nervous about... No, but I want to actually talk about the science of it, Ryan, because you're good at science.

I don't want to talk about the... Okay, fire away. What's your science question? I'll pretend to be good at science. We have not very often drafted in the top. The Tankathon Spin the Wheel to Win, Thing of a Jiggy, has not produced... excellent results anyway. Four has been the most common outcome, yeah. And so your question is, are we kind of pissing into the wind? Like if we finish third or fourth, our odds are of the

do you want to try it now, Jack? Do we want to try the old tankathon right now? Let's do it right now. Let's do it right now. We've got to, we've got a whatever, 13, 9% whatever to finish in the first. Now we're, but then you have to tumble in the fourth. Well, if you're in fourth and what are the percentage chances you just stay in fourth? not good. We've also seen a lot of teams well behind the flames when they were second from the bottom

winning the lottery. Like the end of the day is the odds of the odds, it's just what are the lottery balls doing that day? You're going to get lucky or not? Because even Vancouver, they've only got a 25% chance to pick it first. They are dog shit.

They are far and away the worst team in the league and there's a 75% chance they will pick two or three. Like it's just, that's what the lottery is. And you hope the sun's shining on the flames on May 5th. So this is Gary, knows us, right? Like it's, he's well aware. Yeah. And again, it all goes back to those idiots

ringing bells in kids' ears. They had to screw up this whole lottery thing where we had to keep switching it. Once again, you're right. Edmonton's. So there it is. You see that's, that's so the standings. So they lost 4.1% over the weekend. I don't like that. Okay. So what is the most likely outcome from here? Uh, now, now that you're four, I think the aggregate total of the top three is likely one of those top three teams will get one of the lottery polls if you're ignoring yourself. So I would think you're most likely the outcome is five. Do we want to spitballing? I know we only ever, I know you are just kind of talking out here. Well, there's numbers there so you can you can add them, but it's, um, we usually do one a day. Do we want to do five quick ones here?

Five, a five banger just because this is new. Yeah, and they're in a new spot. So fair enough. Just to kind of give us. Okay. So we know what two means. Two is kind of shown. It could be four. Good chance. It could be four. Well, what does now, what does four mean? Six. We'll do a week's worth here in an incredible rate. Harry.

Fall to six. Fall to six. Congrats, St. Louis. Number two, fall to six. Winnipeg wins. And Florida moves up. That's good for them. Nice for them to finally get something to cheerboat.

Down to five as Vancouver wins. That's nice for the losers out west. Yeah. All right. Florida, good lord. Two. Down to five. Two five's two six. Seattle. And now six. A6. Yeah.

Yeah. I think we know what the most likely outcomes are. The strength of the schedule thing is a thing. They still have a lot of the teeth. Like they don't suddenly have an easy schedule now that they played Tampa, Florida, St. Louis, the first year games, home stand. St. Louis was one of the easiest teams are going to play outside of Vancouver.

Speaking of which they picked, they got, they twice won in those five polls. Yeah, the sun's going to shine on someone, right? Like, uh, they've got three left with Colorado. Two left with a very hungry LA team that is fighting for their lives. Yeah, but they're no good. Sort of that, yeah, but again, looking down at the flames and the

standings. But I mean, it's, we can, you can, two against Anaheim, we're trying to, actually one against Sanheimer, trying to win division, another in Dallas. also Utah, Vegas, who's also not very good. But again, they had three wins in all of April, and now they have three more in a row. I don't know. Do we feel like they're due to win four in a row?

Like they're just that good right now, or no? Because they've had teams come in that, A, one of the worst teams in the league in St. Louis, and the B teams that played the night before ran their backups and didn't look good. I'm not sure what, like, is it, Is it just that's a nice run of teams that come in tired on a long road trip? Because they're going to go play six on the road, their dog shit on the road. Yeah.

Like, it's kind of a fool's area. They could win the next three games by the looks of it. Against the Kings, they've lost three straight. Anaheim's been a little more up and down as of late. And we know what Vancouver is. Yeah. And the desperation they're going to see if the Kings is unlike anything they've seen in a while. while here. Like that is each

little bit matters. Has to get her going. And they picked up a loser point yesterday, if I'm correct. I don't know. Saboteur. Please, did someone give Gary an envelope when he was here?

We're going to be some pissed off though if like they did win the next three games and ended up draft an eighth. I don't know how much more upward movement room there is. Are they close to Winnipeg yet? I don't know. Yeah, but if you you're,

three in a row would help for sure yeah feels like we're kind of bummed out I know that's why I was trying to find some positivity and there's nothing to be had and you know what the kicker is here's the thing it's like if you get rid of Anderson get rid of a Uigher get rid of these guys

then it's all going to come around and it kind of has because they were four-sishing you on them you get rid of these guys it's all going to come around congrats to Oloffson on goals and back to back games and what happened in overtime, Jack? Is there it, can we take a peek over?

Because they did get to overtime. I know Tampa Bay they scored late. They need some points. They're in a battle for seating in there. Okay, so overtime. As long as it wasn't that Olofson again, oh, it's Strom this time. The seventh round

throw-in deal. He's been good. There's more to, The main thing to talk about in this goal is the guy with the puck at the moment. Who's their best player? But it is interesting. Yeah, Olson scores a couple in back to back and Strome gets the winner. And okay, well, I guess it's just, uh, it's going to be what it is.

I can look, you're happy for these guys. Look at the crowd. They're on their feet. They're standing up. The crowd was very good last night. It was a, it was a, look at the idiot goalie coming down flying down the ice here. Cool it. Skippy.

He's, he's excited. Watch. how jacked is he oh I can see my kid oh my god is your kid there yeah he's where our flames tuk black duke are you not with them I'm like a row away I just went inside with the other dad

these kids some nachos leave him alone now we're just watching TV grittin's unreal man I'm honestly maybe the best story that cooley's a sensational story I just don't know how much to believe in it because of goalie and everything that is goalie like do we believe Alex lion's going to be a starter somewhere next year No, is he having a great year? Yes.

Cooley had six games in the NHL before this year. Six. And shit his pants in preseason. And looked awful in the preseason. Awful. Great story. But for Gridden, it's like very different. You're not talking about a 29-year-old who's just popped.

Like he, this is his 19-year-old season. He has just turned 20 and he already looks like their best winger. Which game was it in overtime? I mean, he scored the shootout winner. What game was that? St. Louis. I'm trying to, when Huska said, he kind of give him the old, I'm looking at you, coach.

Are you going to put me out there yet, or what do I, puts him out there and he wins the game? And that line was really good in Detroit, the last of the road trip as well. So it's three of the last four games. He's been awesome. The St. Louis game was his worst. He had 1247 or something, and then they used him in the shootout. There's not yet.

I don't know if people are still upset because the minutes still are not crazy, 1350 last night. But then you watch that. play and it's kind of like, I don't know if it's the answer, but seeing the way he's playing, if Huska looks at it and says, 14 minutes is about what, that's the sweet spot for this kid right now. Okay. I don't know if he plays 22. Is it, you know, is he that much better?

Is it that, I don't know. But, I mean, that play there, he's holding off a defender. He's one arm in the stick, two hands, backhand pass. It's three on three, but that's, that's a play there. that's a highly skilled play from a kid in the national hockey league. We have said many things on this show. I continue to talk with the last two draft class. And, Rhett, you always say, I don't care where these picks are.

You've got a hit on your picks. Matt Vigridden supports both those things. Like, that was a late first round pick for two months of Pouty Lindholm, and you got Brestevich, and you somehow weaseled Fairby and Frost with the Kuznetsov piece plus Peltje. Like, Connie's done some very good work. here. If I was buying a jersey, good. You getting gridden? Yeah. The gritty. I'm not ridden. Yeah. I would. I agree. Right? If you're going down to the dome and you're

going to watch the game and you're moved to Calgary and I'm going to be a fan, who are you buying? Yeah. I mean, Wolf, him. Wolf. Yeah. Like that's Coronado, sure, but I think he's past Corona. I think he's already passed. I'm more excited about Gridden's upside mode and some of that's just because he's He hasn't played as much. He could play mine too, but I don't think that Coronado has the hockey IQ that Gridden has. I agree. I think he's more one dimensional in the sense that he's a great shooter and that, you know, he can be a good F1, but Gridden can create his own chances.

I think you're going to see Coronado have his big year when you put him next to a really, really high end distributor because he's a trigger man, right? Yeah. Whereas Gridden, you're like, he's playing with Frost and that's worked. Frost has never been a big point guy and that's been their best line since they put them together with Coronado. Strong.

Like we were looking at 6-2, 200 or whatever. Skates well. Yeah. Awesome shot. You watch him fight off the check one-on-one. It's exciting. Nice. Yeah, it's good story.

And that's kind of why it's the mixed emotions thing because you'd love to say, just be awful, be bad. Look what Vancouver's doing. It looks like they are so far away in Vancouver. Oh, boy. I know. Sinket. Blanky time.

Oh, that's better. Got a slight chill. This show. What's that mask on the wall? Can we zoom out again? From South Africa, right? That Kamala, the Ugandan giant? Yeah.

You did one of those eyes wide shut parties there? What's going on with that mask? No, we were just the dance and the summer showers on the coast of South Africa. amazing. There was four after you swam with the sharks. A couple days before. Okay. A couple days before.

Yeah, Hans by. Hans by. Great spot. You guys should try and get in there one day. Yeah. I was thinking about getting there soon. Sounds like a jet fuel's cheap. Time to travel.

Good time to get on jets. That's got to see Africa right now. Yeah. So the flames get a win? Three. Three straight, four and two in their last six. Grushing it. Way to go, fellas.

Love you. Come on, Kings. How good would it be to have Conray come in and actually talk to us? We wouldn't even, Craig, just. There anything you can do to kick husk in the nuts and slow them down a little bit? I had an idea. I got a real good idea. Cooley week to week scolding with the hurt feels and Prasvatov up.

Ding. That would feel like the tank is. That would be Buffalo 1415 level of tanking, which we haven't seen in the league since then. It was the McDavid year and they literally traded guys when they played well. This is not that. You know what? Dean, yeah, it's Ryan's fault.

Me? Because what Ryan needs to do, being the professional that he is, he's not a casual, Dean. Not sure you heard. He's not a casual. So a real professional, a non-casual, he would be researching the players that are going to be available. in the 6, 7, 8 range, which is where we're going to be drafted again. That's right. Well, Gold really likes this.

Curse and I get real excited about that. Yeah. Well, and this is when you said, like, what, you know, if they pick, let's say you finish second from the bottom, you slide back one to three. You're like, okay, it is what it is. How different is the player you're getting at three than you are at six? And that's a question that, you know, you, NHL teams who have the best people in the world working on it would vary wildly on.

So we don't, we don't have an answer, but. Well, NFL teams. teams fail miserably all the time at this. And I think that, especially a quarterback. Yeah. Yeah. And NBA, it's like you can pick a guy first, then you can be a superstar for 20 years. You can be a nobody. It's, it's baseball. You see superstars drafted later, not early all that time. Is that a big country? Yeah, Brian, Brian, Brian, country Reeves. Yeah, great raptor. Love them. So just so, so the difference between three and six is negligible. Well, I'm asking. I don't, I'm

literally saying I don't know the answer. there seems to be like it used to be this thought that there was three at the top it was verhof stemberg and mechanic but now you're hearing this reed defenseman carson carls he's good right like i don't know like so i see some rankings where they're ahead of verhof i've said from the day one i don't know you've been all because mike commodore wants to lay claim to fame that that's right the catalyst for verhoff he's the verhof whisperer yeah i know people in the states that think he's a hell of a player but not a top five.

Some of the comps I've seen, it's like somewhere between Ekblad and Perangelo, which is a very, very good defenseman, but not a superstar, fair. And the Stembourg comp that I like, and we saw him last night, so it helps is Gensel. You're like, oh, okay, that's a pretty lethal piece to add. Panarin is the latest comp I saw on McKenon. And again, these are just one person's opinion, but they're more informed than we are. and it fits sort of their skill set. So Panarin isn't going to beat you with elite speed and power

so much as his IQ and finding teammates. That's what McKenna does. I honestly don't know. Here's a question. Here's another question. I'm sure. I'm jumping on you. But we're bitching about Oliveson scoring.

We're bitching about Strom scoring. Are we overlooking the fact that if we do get these guys, maybe the two of them scoring costs us three draft positions. So we go from five to eight Just because we're good at math, right? That's true. But the fact that they start scoring and feel good, does that make them more tradable?

Are we bringing them back? I know. Are we bringing them back and pumping the tires? I've said I don't want to. But if you're talking about dropping three spots because you've got some guys that are playing well, whatever. You know what I mean? I'm trying to find the positives here.

Like there is. Strom's a real big positive. Yeah. Because Anaheim has to do a bunch of extension work this summer. They've got a lot of really good young players that need deals, and he was not a fit and was not getting ice time. A year ago, he was a half point per game center in the NHL. That's something that it was, you know,

just a huge luxury for the, for the, like, we can't even get to squeeze this guy in. That's how deep we are down the middle. How nice it must be to be loaded with young centers, like Leo Carlson and Mason McTavich and such. but he's a guy that at five and a half, you've got to get to the floor anyway. If you like him,

you still probably haven't got a center to arrive out of your system yet in the sense that I think the Castanias and the gross and other guys are going to be four, five, six organizationally at centers. Either in the A or the NHL, but you're not a top three guy. You've got Backland for another year and Frost's to you next summer. Strom could be an extension candidate or a guy that it's like,

shit, we can turn them around for a third. We put him in a roll with some minutes, and he's actually looking like the player he was a year ago. So it was a super savvy move by Conroy. At the time, it was frustrating because we didn't know the cadre deal was coming or not, and that was where all our attention was. But to get a player of his caliber, a half point per game center, a year ago for a seventh rounder when you are so thin at center ice,

it's a massive win. Because now you can do whatever you said. You can pump and dump or you can extend. And of course, you wouldn't complain about drafting in the top three. those three are the consensus top three. You'd take whoever it is and you'd be happy. But on the other hand, are the flames in a position now where, you know what?

Like I'm reading in the comp, if we can draft at six and get a centerman, which is what we need, so what? You might have taken a three. You don't what I mean? Yeah. Maybe our hand is being played for us to a certain extent, but it might turn out to be the best. I'm not saying you'd run away from McKenna at one.

No. Not trying to hint at that. but maybe that I'm just trying to put a positive spin on it where it's like, yeah, we didn't get one. But I'll tell you what, we got a stud centerman and we don't have any. Yeah, you, when I talk about the gap from three to six, like the guy you might want at three might still be there at six because your needs are different than other teams at the draft. And there's just that much variation on lists all of a sudden. Like I think it's Stenberg and McKenna seem to be consensus top two now. And then there's a big group of D.

And if you were going to take a center anyway, or maybe. maybe the D you like the most is the one that's left when you pick at five or six. Give them credit. They're doing the right thing and the culture has not wavered or waned a bit. That's the biggest concern when you go into these things where you're like, we're going to get rid of really good pros and our best, most talented players that have the most points. I told you all these guys were jerks and to get them out of here. That's what's finally cleared out dead weight in that room.

Yeah, fine. The Lord's work, Rhett. Yeah, finally. you were talking about how high or how low can they go depending on which way you're looking at the standing there are two points back in the overall league standings St. Louis has 67 points the flames have 65 and then Winnipeg's quite a bit

and then you got Winnipeg and San Jose with 70 so it's still a five point gap between the flames but there's they're within striking distance of 28th and then depending what happens but they have 12 games left road games a lot of opponents

six at home six on the road but the six in the road are all on one trip and there's two trips to Colorado one to Dallas in there but again it doesn't seem to matter who they play like you're going to get the solid effort and if a team's overlooking you which I think we've seen a lot of this year Carolina comes in they're not worried about the flames Tampa and Florida come in they're not worried about the flames and it's not taking any way of recovering you put your best foot forward

but you know sir hanson's just not a good NHL goal And that's who they got to play last night. Yeah. I mean, we can joke about, you know, putting coolly in the rafters or whatever. They're getting good goal tending regardless of who's in the net. It's not like you, it's not like when you had Markstrom and this, well, you should, why are you still play? They're rotating the two. Yeah, they're pretty much alternated.

They're giving the opportunity there for one of them to shit himself, but both guys are playing well. I think Prestevich has been very good. White Cloud continued. Only Matt has been. Yeah, he looks like a left-handed white cloud, doesn't he? Holy man, is 24 minutes a night just the guys they picked up or have inserted into the lineup. Gridden, who's disappointed? I mean, it's weird that you look at at Perrek and he's kind of, well, there's some ups and downs.

And he's just, you almost just get through games, get some minutes, and we'll figure out what the offseason looks like. But everybody else has been far greater than you could have expected, I would think. I don't mean that as a shot to Perak, but, you know, you. You talked about Gridden already. He's had some sensational plays. Bristevich saves a goal last night. Braden points standing in the corner after that puck doesn't go in. So what just happened there?

Even Kooley thought it was in. He had two looks where you're like, how is he not bearing those? It's another 20 minute night for Bristewitch, 2020. And the goalies are making saves and they play hard. And Prex doing it again where you see what his elite traits are and you also see where he's deficient. And that's as long as he continues to play and work on that, you know, development's not a race. Yeah.

Is he having a monster rookie here? Absolutely not. Does that mean he's dead? No. Are you seeing the flashes of what made him great at lower levels? Absolutely. There's no points to show for it yet. It's weird.

It's a weird. You know what I mean? And I'm not trying to be it. Again, I've said, they really need this guy to work out. And this guy to really be a star. But I still don't know what we're watching a lot of nights. It's like, okay, well, that's average plays. Oh, that's, well, there's a good pass.

That's, oh, okay, that's. That's a mistake there. That's a mistake. I don't know how that one ends up. And that's why I think you just keep playing them. Let him figure it out. I hope for his case that shows that you have to work your ass off. And I'm not saying that he doesn't know that.

I'm just saying when you get 100 in some points and you get tossed out there relentlessly in junior hockey, Wonderful. It's a different world. Yeah. These guys don't give a shit. You're going to have to earn it. And I hope that that's what's coming across from and said, oh, okay. I'm going to have to up my game.

And there is sort of this resting state of aloofness where he's just kind of like, it doesn't look like a guy that's going on balls to the wall, but I, I'm not even questioning that. No, but there is that. Like I watched last night and it's like TV time out and he's just staring into the crowd, looking at people and I'm like, it doesn't mean he's not trying. It's just he's a different cat. He's going to roll a different way

than we're used to seeing. And that's been the case right since his first development cap. And he's going to march to the beat of his own job. And in Vancouver, they said the same thing about Quinn Hughes. He was kind of a unique cat that just kind of stares off into space. And then the buck drops, he was one of the best in the world

at it. So there is still that that possibility. I'm all for that in a way because I go back to going into Pittsburgh as a rookie. Lemieux, Yager, Francis, Recky, the list was, they weren't stressing out about morning skate. They're out there smoking darts and flipping bucks around, right? Like, there's something to be said about staying loose,

because when you play 84 games next year, and you're playing every other day, beating the piss out of yourself mentally, it don't work either. So I'm not looking for him to beat himself up. I'm just looking for him to recognize, hey, this is pretty good hockey. What I did in junior, I'm going to have to grow. And it's not a criticism. I'm not saying he's not doing it.

I'm just saying that might be the best case scenario is him realizing, I can do this, but I have to up the game. Totally. Like, your biggest takeaway has to be this is such a leap from junior. Like that has to be the, I'm going to the off season and I've got to have a monster off season. I think about Bedard, he got invited to go to the world championships last year. He says no. Everyone's like, what do you doing?

Next year's Olympics. Hockey can't always loves it when you show the loyalty. And he went back and worked on his skating in Vancouver and you've seen an incredible change in the speed that Badard operates. He was below league average last year on the league website. They won't show what percentile if you're below 50th. They'll just say bottom half. and now you're seeing this guy up in the high 70s and the 80s. He literally said,

I don't need to play a three-week tournament where we're boozing every other night. We play 10 games. I'm going to go home and get back in the lab. That's what you need from Zane this summer. It's crazy how our mentalities have changed. And we'll move on off of this because I don't know it's terribly enlightening or exciting.

That where it used to be, well, D-Men take longer, right? That was the whole thing about prospects coming into the league. And a lot of times, you know, he only is 23. 24, now you're starting to see it. Our patience is so non-existent now because some kids come in and play at 19. Because a Schaefer, that's why. And our game changers. Hudson, Schaefer.

The guy in New York's, holy shit. Okay, so he's not having the best rookie season ever in the history of the game. It can still allow you to be an extremely important piece of a hockey team moving forward. He's 19. Yeah, yeah, it's his 19 year old season. It's like the hardest part is patience.

And you've bitched about it. He shouldn't have been here. It's a stupid rule that it's going to be fixed for next year. Connor's area hurt again. Grease. Another one of those. Bullshit. Bullshit.

And to the point where it's not Austin Matthews, no one came to his defense, but someone needs to sucker Mr. Greer. Like next year when you play the Florida Panthers, there's a high, one coming at your chin, kid. Go yourself. I don't know what.

Obviously something had to have precipitated. It doesn't matter. But screw you. Head first. That's deliberate. Somebody should be absolutely cross-checking his front row out right there. And it wasn't as bad as the Austin Matthews.

Everyone's standing around like they're in a museum. But right now when he turns his head, Cabambo. Screw you. I'll take 10 games. Should be ashamed of himself. That's bullshit around the league. And the word came out yesterday, right before a puck drop,

but it's a three-game suspension for Greer. Whatever. Is it light? What's light? Don't care about the suspension. That's because I believe in the player's letting it. Yeah. And as a player, somebody should have absolutely chopped his arm off or cross-checked him in the head.

Yeah, I sound like an old fuddy dutty and a jerk. Fuck him. Yeah, cowboy justice, frontier justice for sure. He was kind of, that was a deliberate. Yeah. I don't care if you break your neck. Really? Yeah, I don't know what the hell would.

Like, you're okay with this, hey Greer? Yeah. Screw you. And I know you're saying that, uh, fellas take care of it. Don't worry about Department of Player Safety. But we can also grade Department of Player Safety. 100%. Coming off the heels of the Matthews one, this was a chance for them to get things,

I think, to a level where fans and teams and players wanted to me, like when your best play. Connor McDavid is actively talking about like, we need to fix this. And they just, no, spin the wheel. Oh, it came out at three. What are we doing? And it's Florida does not make the playoff.

No, it's a lost year for the line. That's an absolute message. And it's a guy that, you know, has played a brand of hockey that, I don't want to say he's reckless, but like he's on the edges. That's how he has to play to be in this league. You can send a message there. Could have been one of the, oh, poor, no, it, because of that hit and the way he laid it out.

And it's, it's AJ Greer, you really could have sent a message. Could have said eight games, boom, 10 games, boom. I thought, I thought five-ish. That is such a dick move on Greer's part that I can't imagine his teammates are even like, dude, the fuck are you doing? Like, uh-oh. That's like, I get that we can see.

It would be go sit in the back row by yourself. We're not talking to you for a while. Like that, that, that's lack of respect in the game. I was going to say, you can slow video down. It looks a certain way. That doesn't look any different to me in real time, slow-mo. It's 30. You, you crushed, you hit the guy to go head first into the boards.

You accomplished what I think you set out to do. So there's no mistaking that. No. And you guys are right. We should be pissed off at the players, like, it's hard to get outraged and start yelling at them because they're it's always been bad it's been the wheel bullshit right it's like but it's bullshit yeah like and if mac david has an issue with the

gudis and how they break down the hits and this well speak about this one too carter feel free because this one to me is worse or as bad yeah yeah at least in the goodest defense you can just see things are happening so quickly that he's trying to get a piece and there's doesn't mean it's okay. But the Greer one, you understand that this is a player in a vulnerable position. There's no need for the play. And you say, nah, doing it anyway. There's much more time for the hamster to run the wheel. Don't like it. Don't like it. Don't like it. And hopefully is there he will be all right and get back in. He's back and spears him in the throat.

That's what I hope. Yeah. I felt it kind of felt bad for the kid. It was what last year had two injuries. I don't think that's a major injury. No, I don't either. But it's really not of his own, not putting himself in harm's way or doing anything wrong. This wasn't cutting through the middle with your head down. He's going to pick up a puck and got two-handed in the lower back into the boards.

He got his leg broke on a hit last year. He's had some bad luck. And his game has kind of started to come around a little bit. But so hopefully he gets back in there sooner than later. That's Day to day to days The listing, so Yeah

A lot of the listings. Good Solo lap for Tyson Gross, Calgary boy. Sure. Took a penalty early, only penalty of the game and definitely made his

NHL debut. Yeah, he did. Won some draws, a couple of them, I think. Yeah, and he's, he went three for five on the dot and he's, that's the calling card.

Big right shot center that's good on face-offs. Connie loves winning draws. Connie loves it. Jack, can you win draws? Can you go out there when to draw? I was pretty good

sentiment actually. Were you? Conroy on line one. Line one, defensive zone face-offs. And you know what else he'll like about you? What?

You're American. Yeah. USA. Connie likes guys that are good in the room. Is Jack good in the room? Oh, no. What do you know about me in the room?

Well, he wants to get you to the bar. You never go with him. Good teammate. We go with red to get a drink. You got deaths everywhere in the room. That's true. teammates waiting to get paid up Pizza days

dogs. How many did you have? I didn't get the, I didn't know what's happening. Claire didn't give me the heads up. Well, because you talk poorly about that man. Capitalshab.com. I said it before, depending on, because you go to a place where they got the barbecue going. Oh, something's on the grill. That's good.

Do your quick flyby. What are we putting on there? Is it kind of homemade burgers? Are those good looking burgers? Are they got some, are those like the little thin, little pucky things that are going to be? I love a dog. yeah, I'll do a dog.

Really? There's burgers? Yeah, I see that. So they were just doing, to me, they were just doing dogs. I got no problem with that. Have you christened the official car of Bloom Daddy with a two-banger yet?

Because that would be a move. One only, one banger. Cut back, you know what it is? It's just kind of having that talk with yourself, fella. do you need two? I know you can have two, but of course you'd have two.

Should you? Let's just kind of, let's, let's, let's, let's kind of work through this, buddy. So you get a, the first one's going to be so good. It's good. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it's so good. And then you're, I can have more. I could, I wish I had another one. And you, yeah. But by the time you get 60, 70, 80 percent through that second one, are you thinking it's maybe too much? Just did it one.

I think the answer is usually yes. It's one and a half the super. spot. It's the third bite on the second dog that gets you. Yeah, yeah, who. I've probably good now, but I got so much dog left. And of course, I've got two,

I've got two drinks. Right? I'll just watch this bastard. I got two drinks to go with my two dogs. God love them for still doing the buck 50 or whatever it is. They could easily, you know, crank that to two and it's still an unbelievable

deal. They'd care. Buckfitty. Yeah. Jack, do you would you be a two-banger kind of guy or you're just the one-banger? People know what we're talking about? Do I know what you're talking about?

Do you know what I'm talking about? Yes, the hot dogs. I don't think I've ever gone with two. I don't think I've done the two-banger. Majority baseball season, I think, opens this week. I wonder if we can get Jack to do a two-two-two, where it is two beers and two dogs in the first two innings. Don't put it on the-hastco dogs?

Tricky. He's such a good. Could be tricky. Mindy, you're, I mean, you're a solo guy. You don't, you probably don't have a Costco membership. I do actually. I got it as a gift for a birthday. By his baby roll there.

For your weekends. Oh, yeah. Who gets someone a Costco gift membership for? My stepdaddy. Really? Daddy. I love you, Daddy. I don't know if it was for a birthday or what it was,

but I do, I do have one. I go there to get my gas. Yeah. It's on the way home. And you never go in for a two-banger? You're already there. Oh.

I like the Zah. Really? Yeah. That unpopular opinion? No, it's all right. Yeah. I'm so stuck on the two-banger that I don't ever venture off of it.

Feels like that whole neighborhood in that part of the warehouse is doing a good job. Five stars. Yeah. They all, you want to deal on ice cream, I'll tell you. Good spot to go as well. Their ice cream is, it's among the tops in the, in the entire league. It's unbelievable. Jack, have you done the ice cream?

Have you gone and had a, have done the ice cream? A Sunday or a warful clone? Yes. That is soft, sir. Yeah. Yeah. So if you go and say you have the caramel Sunday. they're going to go and put the

chocolate in there first and then you're soft serving and then on the top and you've got distribution and it's hot so it's starting to melt some of the ice cream a little bit. The chocolate's hot? Mm-hmm.

Oh, damn. Speaking of chocolate, draft lotteries, picking forth, picking whatever. Whatever. Didn't want to play that whole thing there, John. or you can't well okay or did it stop no it's just you have the music playing and this has music on it watch break conquer it's the chocolate championship 2026 barn burner our pursuit of what is the greatest

chocolatey treat going today uh just doing a little bit of research realizing that some of these we're only talking about canada you're not getting these south of the border you're not going to get some domestic treats yeah you're going to throw tariffs at us get out of here it's too loud no you're good well we're going to have the the sweet 16 as it were start up later this week but we have got a pair of playing games you got to earn your way in for these bottom four they were right on the fringe who's getting in Big Turk and Rollo

are going to go head to head dairy milk versus smarties. Now the big Turk have any of us had the big Turk? I had it. I told you after I read Narnia. After you read Narnia. The wicked witchy princess

lady that the ice Lying the witch in the wardrobe. Yeah. She feeds the kid, she drugs the kids up with the big turks. Turkish delights. Yeah, yeah. Careful. They'll throw the fentanyl right in there.

So Turkish delight, it's a dark magenta in color. Mm-hmm. I still don't know that I've ever had it. It's jelly. It's like jam. It's like, really. Purple. So Turkey, big Turk, Turkish, right?

I'm kind of, is that this is only made in Canada. This is one of those Canadian only deals, the big Turk. typically found in a red, white, and blue striped package. The ingredients in Big Turk, you got some of your delicious glucose and modified corn starch and cocoa butter in there. Black carrot concentrate? Oh, yeah. Did you get some of those notes coming through when you had at those, the soy lex? A lot of the black carrot concentrate.

Yeah. It's a, uh, it's not going to confuse with any other bar. I'll say that about the Big Turk. It is one of one. my initial reaction when we did this a number of years ago the first time through was big Turk gross there's not going to be anyone this is some old person this is some your grandpa used to love big turks when there were no chocolate bars to be had but there is actually quite a following for the big turk that's because boomers have controlled society for far too long and these are the people that eat it so

their influence is far reaching that I don't like it. The rollo, it's a roll style chocolate, a brand of truncated cone-shaped or conical shaped chocolates with the caramel inside.

Have Jack read that, so it makes sense. I know, yeah. They're fespian on it. These have a rich history. Back to the 30s over in the UK. They're now made by Nestle except in the U.S., you're going to find that.

Sometimes U.S., it's a lot about Hershey. I'm not a big Hershey guy. I don't like their chocolate, I think it's, I don't think they, I don't think they understand what good chocolate is. But it's not a chocolate bar. It is a chocolate treat. I don't know how many you get.

Boy, it's bad. I don't know the last time I've had Rolos. I'm going to ballpark it somewhere in that eight ballpark. If I'm craving the rollo, I go to the ice cream. That's my, problem with the roll. Yeah, the roll of ice cream is very good. And on the other side, the dairy milk versus smarties. Smarties, I think we kind of nailed this last week. On one side, it feels like a kind of a kid,

fun treat. Woo-hee. Look, it's the font. You can see the, whoa, look at all the colors. Then on the other side, very sophisticated. White gloves. White gloves. Dairy milk. We don't need all of your colors or hard, crunchy shell. Just the chocolate please. We're Cadbury's dairy milk. For my money, there is no better chocolate in the world than the Cadbury chocolate. It is the most delicious. You can try and convince me otherwise, but you will fail. The Smarties, draggy chocolate confections, marketed by Swiss company Nestle, first made in the 30s.

Oblate spheroids with a mild. minor access of about 5 millimeters and a major access of about 12 millimeters. Did we know that? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, pink, and brown. Remember they added blue for a while? And then they, well, they had blue and then they put them the white smarties. I don't know what they were thinking. Hey, maybe people care about food die.

We don't get reading smarties. Shut up. So you're not getting these in the States. This is available in many places around the world, apparently. but this is kind of another one of those Canadian only treats. So I don't know how that impacts the possible success or failure here for the, for the Smarty against the dairy milk. But there you see it, Big Turk and Rollo, dairy milk versus Smarties.

It's just classic youth against wisdom. It feels like it. Smarty's just party time. Is it that good? I don't even know. But look at all these colors. We're having a blasts. Kids are everywhere.

So two will emerge from this. this is a quick, this is a quick one. I'm stunned. You don't have these available for tasting. I know, yeah. Well, we did. We're saving them until you're in studio. They are hard to find.

They're only everywhere. Right. Tough to find smarties these days. Yeah, with, uh, yeah, with all of us leaving our house on a daily basis. Uh, tough, tricky. So Wednesday morning. Plan around to be done. That's what it says right there.

Love it. That's what it closes Wednesday at a lot of. We can announce the winner on the We'll announce the winner and then set up the final bracket Which will begin Thursday Can we see? Do we have a look at the bracket? That's great. It's been one of those things

You guys want any insight into the voting or no? I would like yeah, I think because that's ultimately That's what it's going to come down to is the top vote getters will advance I voted already I also voted so votes will be of the essence Being tabulated as we speak Find the links in the show description on socials?

Show description. Socials. Chat. It's in the chat right now. Go get it. All right. The full bracket. Observation.

Fire. No white chocolate. I'm in agreement with it. I am two. I feel like there's enough racism in the world. It'd be nice just to have something that's free of that. Just want to have fun. It's just about chocolate.

No exciting whites? the wine section Reese I've already heard from some well it's it's Reese the whole way it doesn't really know it's why you play the tournament boys it's cute that these other ones are in there

but there's nothing like the Reese's Peter Butter there's also something known as the curse of the president's trophy we'll see yeah oh you were first to get here great let's see how you do in the tournament I see a whole bunch that will challenge

the Reese in my world. I agree. Even second round could be in trouble. Without, I guess without, uh, leaning one way or the other,

which of these groupings, which of these matchups, which we will get to later this week, would be the hardest for you to make a choice in. Score twixt. 8.9 for me as well. Yeah. It's a battle.

Just one off. Here's another, here's another, observation I'm going to have, because I don't know where these, the two playing teams are going to end up. That's right. But if you've got the rollo in the caramel

bracket. Oh, oh, similar. Yeah. If you're a caramel surrounded by chocolate fan, you're stealing some boats. You're torn, some vote splitting. Big time boat splitting. Yeah.

And the peanut butter chocolate, the Reese, I guess you, do you have that in Snickers? I think Wonderbar's got a little bit. I think Wonderbar does. I think Snickers does. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. I like peanut butter.

I like chocolate. I don't eat them together. Just calm down. Really? Settle down. Okay. For me, it would be the 710. I love the coffee crisp and the Mr.

Big. The texture, they both kind of got a bit of a wafery deal going inside. They're on the lighter side, like it whereas an O. Henry is kind of when you snap into it. That nugut, the stretch,

you, Mr. Big. Yep. You know, just kind of one of those things. Seven, be tough, tough for me. But I can't take part because, you know,

you can't be doing that. Taint the bracket. That's right. Well, you're the Gary Bettman of the Barnburner. I sure am. Yep. Can we pay you to have team? It starts and ends with me.

I'm the one that has to sleep at night if this goes a certain way. So it's your baby. Well, maybe send you to a website at some point to look at it. But for now, you've got to go hunting through you, files for her show descriptions and socials and stuff. I'm not blaming anybody. It's just the world we live in.

Just the world we live in. So chocolate championship, starting later this week. Get your votes in now for the play-ins. Delicious. Adam sank terrible seating for Mars and Eminem's. It's what it is. It is what it is.

The three seed in your wine and Mars? Come on. Get out of here. Yep. Sorry, fellas. So that's going to go. Committee needs a review. I know.

Everyone goes right to our heart. The cholesterol and the vibes and the emotions all go right to our heart when it comes to the chocolate championship. I feel it. The cholesterol anyway, I feel. You feel that, right? Yeah. There's a definitely kind of a, which side is your heart? It's kind of in the middle, but the left ventricles bigger.

So I think everyone thinks it's left. That's what it is then. Yeah. Yeah, that's what it is. All right. It's going to pump out. so the whole body you're going to be strong on that side. I want a little of those clickers to see how many times I cough today.

It's going to be in the thousands. Yeah, not like that. Thousands. Settle down now. All right, Pindraport Time, friends, we do it for our great friends at Village. Did you miss them at the Calgary National Auto Troucho? Well, they just had the big event this weekend. Get up there.

They want to buy your vehicle as well. Why? Well, it's the $2 million, big buy-in event. any make, any model in a year? No purchase necessary. Complementary appraisals, competitive pricing. And if you get a deal done, do you know they're going to pay you in 24 hours? Start the process at village haunted.com.

We start our process with the flames this week. Who are they playing? What are they doing? What's going on? What's going on on the website? Well, they won three in a row. I've got bad news about that. Good news and bad news.

The good news, 19-year-old season for Matt Vigridden, looking like a very good one. suddenly six helpers in his last nine games. But yeah, the upside down standings have been taking some dents. You blew it! Yeah. More there to read on on the website. As for what remains on the six-game homestand, half done, the perfect three and oh.

Still chance, fellas. Division leading ducks, which sounds impressive until they realize it's the Pacific. The kings who were into a playoff spot on the weekend only to get punted right back out. by the Predators who've suddenly won four in a row, and then the lowly doing a TED talk on being bad Vancouver Canucks. Fellas, we told you to settle down. Huska, we told you to cool your jets. What the hell?

What's the record here, the last, uh, I'm going to need all the game. One one and one? Just on screen. One one and one feels like that's, yes, a very likely outcome. Oh, two and one, but. They're two and one. Oh, two and one. Three and no, boys.

Oh, gross. Get out of your check. Shut your mic off. Connor Zeri day to day. That hit was not good. It was a three game suspension on, well, former forever a flame. A.J. Greer can't do that anymore. That's what they look what you cost yourself.

It's going to be tough now. Brutal. Scary, dirty, unnecessary. And they threw the book. Well, no, they spun the wheel. And he stopped on three. Yeah. Good work, everyone.

Good work. Stunning for, oh, geez. Oh, geez. Now, weird, both the Florida teams have come through Alberta. This is, you beat the Florida teams? What, like it's hard? Yeah. And then you see it at the top jack.

What does that say? Suck it, quits. It's good that's there. Cheeky. Yeah. Yeah. The memes are meaming. Here's the march for the flames.

three wins for the first half of March, three wins in the three games after the midpoint of March. Huh. Yeah. I guess up to five now. All right. Settle down, Huska. Let's look at the West.

Change in the bottom. Nationals four wins in a row has them in Wildcard 2. Oh, Vancouver, sorry, Edmonton and Vegas. Back and forth, they go, this is the Turtle Derby. Neither team really wants to string wins together. It's really unbelievable this Pacific division. We would be talking about firing GMs and coaches if these teams were in any other division.

But no, here they are. Vying for home ice in the mighty Pacific. Ah, the mighty Pacific. The East, much more competitive. At one point this weekend, the Islanders were on pace for 99 points and to miss. Yish. They did pass Detroit. Detroit does have a game in hand.

So whether you want to look at points or points of percentage, it's very little separating winged wheel and old Captain Highliner there. I can't believe that Pittsburgh lost. Lumbus in there. The penguins clinging to home ice by one point. Blue jackets have been rolling. Bones. I think Detroit's screwed.

I think we're okay with that. Yeah. I'd like to see Ottawa get in, but I've even cropped them out. That's so far back there now. Yeah. It's not going well. Tight?

As for the Pacific, Connor McDavid had these strong words on, well, the division his Oilers are competing in. We are lucky to be in the division this year. All the teams are, it's a pillow fight right now. Rett, having a good pillow fight stories for us? I love a good pillow fight. Never lost.

Undefeated. Undefeated. And to underline that point, the Calgary Flames with three wins in a row now lead the Pacific Division in terms of who's the hottest. Nobody has... What the hell's happening here? What in the... It's going on here? Hottest team in the Pacific.

Go get them, boys. Pike bomb. Damn it, Pike. He reports, you decide. Bottom 10 looks like this. We showed you this earlier. tied for second, but by lottery ball math, fourth from the bottom, because of, well, regulation wins being the first tie break.

As for the other end of the spectrum, we had two teams punch their ticket to the Stanley Cup playoffs. No surprise here in the sense that the abs are back. They were the first team to punch the ticket nine years in a row. Also, Toronto, that's going to come to an end. It was quite a run of competitive pre-spring hockey. the Leafs ran. Good for them. That's a nice run. Tampa will get to nine. Carolina's on a nice run. Oilers winning a pillow fight or third in a pillow fight. And Dallas got in as well. Look at that. White Johnson said new stars record for power play goals, 23 in one season. They're your finals from last night. Jets and Rangers go to a shootout, a victory for Winnipeg there.

Ab's needed overtime, but they do beat the caps after falling behind early. Penguino's got blanked by Carolina. Talk to us, Jack. What's going on with Dan the man? Oh, it was a back-to-back. No worries. No worries. No worries at all. Can't let them all.

Steve Skinner's been no good boys. I think he's like one in eight in his last nine. Really? Who could have seen that coming? He can kick rocks. Penguins lost to a divisional opponent in regulation for the first time since October. Whoa. Dan, the man.

11, 2 and 9, but 11 2 and 9 in the division now. picking up points. Nashville continues their heater. Chicago gets a point. That's helpful. Love seeing a three-point game there. Preds are into the second wildcard with four wins in a row, as we noted. Isles, one goal is all they needed because they have aelius Sorokin and yet another shutout. They actually beat bones a squad.

Impressive. They did. That got them in past Detroit, at least by points, not by... A lot of good hockey out east. Islanders have 11 games left, 9 on home ice. Oh, really? Wow. That might be the most heavy homeslated schedule left.

Nine of 11? So with them in that wild card mix, keep that in mind. Vegas gets a rare quality win. They do that in Dallas last night, 3-2. Bit of a statement there for Vegas. Aiden Hill made 13 saves. Whoa. To go and kind of shut things down for Dallas.

pretty, I mean, that's impressive. Not many teams do it, but that's feels like that's the only way Vegas is going to do it because they are not impressive at all right now. Sabres and Ducks had a shootout. That's never boring. It was the Ducks, victorious and extra time, and the King's another loser point. They've been hanging around in all these games,

including tied with Buffalo, leading Buffalo in the third, and then getting blanked, or sorry, beat 4-1 on Saturday. Kings are trying, but they're just three straight, missing some saves now. three straight losses there for L.A. No. Yeah. That was after the big win on Broadway, Panarin against his old boys.

The Mammu comfortably in Wildcard 1, they're not going anywhere. They're going to sit right there and take the Pacific winner, which this point doesn't look like a bad draw for anyone. Smaltzi, two goals in the OT winner. Very good. Alex Ovechkin was doing Alex Ovechkin things. That means scoring from his office,

adding his NHL regular season and playoff goals retro. he's now at a thousand. 16 back of Wainner. Wayne played lots of playoff hockey, eh? Sure did. Yeah, it's very good. And I like this graphic. We already told you about Ovi,

but I wanted to, because he has the pitcher holding the goat smiling, I needed to include it. It's too good. I don't remember when that was, but yes. AI?

No, I think that was an old thing that happened. The goat. All right. Let's go to this video, yeah, but what? Is this from last night? It's the goal.

It's the goal? Yeah. So you get to 1,000. McMichael for Hudson. Good look. Strom. And Ovechkin fires. He scores.

Alex Oveckxkin on the power play. 1,000 goals combined. Regular season in playoffs. Just reading here, 998 of them have been from that same spot. That's how he does it. Yeah. That's somehow open still. Cole Hudson, the helper, by the way.

He's going to be just like... Oh, he's going to shoot it? I think that's what makes him great, is that even when everyone does, it just doesn't matter. That's his hardest goal of the year in terms of shot speed beating a goalie. He said harder shots stopped and or missing the net,

but that one went in at 94-ish. Not bad at 40. Not bad. Happy anniversary on this date in 1994. Wayne Gretzky got goal 8.0. to pass Gordie Howe. Here's the thing that people at ESPN are sharing.

If he never scored a single goal, he'd still be the all-time leader in points. Yes, he was that good. Gretzky's assists, still ahead of Yarmour Yager for total points. Back in the day. It's one of the greatest flexes. Of all time. Of all time. Like for records? There just isn't to be. I just don't know that there's anything

like that. There's no other sport with this kind of separation first to second. Feels like it might be hard to break, guys. You think? Well, this Gridden's pretty good. The old anecdote that the old folks will tell you is that when they did hockey pools, because fantasy hockey was not a thing because the internet hadn't been amended, you can do to take Wayne's goals or assists, and those would be the first two picks in the draft.

Yeah. Or just he was off limits. Sure. He was either banned or if you wanted Wayne to be eligible to be in your pool, well, are you taking the goals of the assists? Yeah. Do you imagine that, Jack? I went the first off the election.

Jack's pool boys will select Wayne Gretzky's assists. What kind of draft was he in? I was the pool boy draft. I see. Yeah. Here's only one game

tonight. The music. One game. Oh. In fact, one of the guys on the screen was one of the guys we can use. It was the Derek Brassard Mika Zabanajad trade.

Any other senators and arranges? Say it again? Wade Redden. Yeah, we've got paid big money to play in Hartford, too. Yeah. Six million a year they buried before they choose that rule. I think.

All right. Sends heavily favored here. We got some bets later on to dive into that. Rangers have been horse shirt on home ice, but better the last month. They did not trade Trocheque. And I've actually not been tanked too hard lately. Here's what it means for the Rangers. Nothing.

Here's what it means for the senators a lot. If they win this, get two points. Their playoff percentage goes to 61. A regulation loss drops it to 40. He feels like a monster game for the centers because it is. All right. This courtesy hockey stats.com. They're doing a great job, by the good work hockey stats.

The NHL announcement of games in Finland coming up next year. It's going to be the Carolinas and the Sends going over. And here is your frozen four bracket. The best 16 teams in college hockey retro. eight Calgary Flames prospects will participate. I think over the last six years in total there's been eight or something hilarious like that. It is quite the big crop of Flames Prospects

and certainly the CCHO rules changing. Helps that as well. Cole Roshney played in Victoria last year, now with Nodak, et cetera, et cetera. Should be a fun tournament. Games are on TSN Plus if you're looking. And the finals are going to be a bag of some of that. Vegas.

Vegas, Jack. We going? I'd rather go to Nashville and watch them. TSM plus. Watching on TV. Can we get the Buffalo and watch? I got the email from the alumni today about tickets. They're like, don't expect any help from anyone.

We appreciate all your contributions to the Sabres organization over the years. The alumni are a crucial part of our lifeblood and our culture. Get fucked on tickets. We've been here for the last 14 years. Many good seeds. Begging for you to come to games. Now you can go F your hat. Top four seeds in each bracket.

It's Michigan out in Albany. Two seed, North Dakota. They're in Sioux Falls. Michigan State in Worcester. And Western Michigan. The four seeds, they will be in the Colorado bracket. Okay. Final four, if you win your little quarter of the bracket, you all head to Vegas.

Oh, speaking of playoffs of brackets, Rhett. Western Hockey League, here it is. Love a bracket. Hitman, Weakings at the bottom. It's the 4-5 in the west. It's a lot of travel right there. What's a bus ride to Brandon? Do you know?

You're probably best equipped to answer that. 12? Oh, dear. Yeah. PA red deer's not close either. Medicine hat Regina. Probably your best travel situation, although Edmonton, Saskatoon, what's that?

Five. Be about the same. That's Eastern Conference. We'll get you up speed in the west. Oh, okay. Hitman, go hitman. Speaking of WHL, the Ruck Twins were creating a ruckus all year. Oh, oh, Marcus, top point getter in the entire CHL, 108 in 68.

Liam, his twin, finished second in the CHL with 104. They are looking like late first into the second round type guys. the flames hold numerous picks in that theoretical band. And they're from Alberta. So, of course, they play in Alberta with my satt, you would understand that the Ruck twins and the flames, people getting very excited. The Tigers lost Gavin McKenna,

Caden Lindstrom, Byron Ritchie. That's probably enough and still had 50 years. Well, and Bashar for two thirds of the year too, right? Yeah, like, it's incredible. how they did it with O'Brien Ritchie? Of course, yeah. The Bryce Pickford kid not mentioned here. Led the universe and goals by defensemen.

Incredible. Some solid work. Another Habs pick, one of the top systems, if not the top system in the NHL. Okay. Baseball quickly. Extensions for Ross Atkins and John Schneider. Shapiro got his earlier.

The brain troughs will remain the same. And after the World Series, that makes sense a year ago. Now, two years ago, ye, you would have been tired and feathered for suggesting this. But hey, results are results. They're missing three of their five best starters to start the year. Burios, Bieber, and you savage will start the season on IR. But they do still have Scherzer and Lauer and Ponce and others behind Gosman and their big free agent signing, Dillon C's.

You want to see a fast. pitch. Go to some spring action. As teams are getting tuned up, this is Detroit against Jacks Pittsburgh Pirates. Check out Hernandez on the bump throwing gas. One first pitch on 102. Oh, my.

Clark is looking at his dugout. Like, wow. That was a WTF. And, uh, who, pitchers aren't throwing less hard. It feels like when we had Al McKinness, Al-I Afradi, and they're ripping clappers at like 102, 103, 104, you're like, yeah,

they're still kind of winning, and hardest shot in the NHL, despite the stick technology at the same number. Not the same in pitching, where we continue to see more and more Velo. Mason Miller threw a ton of pitches at 102 in the World Baseball Classic, and now Pittsburgh's got a guy too, apparently, Jack.

Apparently? You don't want to put that in the strike zone, but still, very good. Yeah. Yeah. First pitch of the game. Yeah, just getting loose. Got there to hurry.

Sure did. Guys getting paid. The Seattle Seahawks, the Super Bowl champs, just inked J.S.N. Four years at 42 million. That's what, 168 plus on the course of the deal? Holy. And what's interesting, divisional rival L.A. Ram. Now I think Pooka Nakua.

That's right. Hmm. Smart Chase was insistent on being the highest paid wide receiver in football. It lasted less than a year. Seems like that's what always happens. Yep, Caps keeps going up. And this is exactly what we've seen with quarterbacks too. So no surprise here.

We know you love a good Kajij. We were talking about it in the show. If you're going to get a jersey and support the flames, you're going to rebuild. Yeah. It's not a plethora of superstars you get to pick from. Maybe you go off the board with a boom daddy jersey. This one's 80 bucks.

Yeah, well, that's, I'm pissed off with the wins. That's my ad. Now, who was your 69 in training camp? Is that right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a cool number. Okay. Nice.

So I should have put OBO kind of make me an offer, I guess. Yeah, I mean, that's the asks. Yeah. This made my 88 buddies weekend, by the way. I bet it would. Boom Daddy. Yeah, it probably. I've got all of these notifications set up on Facebook marketplace for flame stuff.

They saw this one come through and they, they're just jacked. What the fuck? We gotta get this for Boob Daddy. We'll let them know. It's Boom Daddy selling his jersey. That it's not somewhere here in the room is kind of shocking. Yet. Give us a week.

Yeah. Kind of shocking. Red, I don't know if this is hurtful or not. This is just memes meaming, but there go, Allegiances in Buffalo. I'll tell you, you want to be a sports fan. Not a bad city to go to.

City of champions, a hotbed. Hotbed. Book our flights are up. Is Rob Ray going to get us that sweet if they'll, the org's not going to get you any? Razor loves you guys. He'll take care of us. I love it's good stuff. Last one?

I should have a couple more, but yep. Really? No, to pay attention. Firewhite. You know, there's some words and you've got to know connotations, right? Nope. Okay. Back. You didn't want to put it in the big dumper Sunday cone that I gave you.

Oh, there it is. Let's look at this masterpiece. The Mariners announced the big dumper Sunday. You like the Zamboni gravy boat? Check out this toilet filled with soft serve and chocolate sauce named after the big dumper. Love it. Love it. It's great.

It's very us. Yeah, we need one of those. What do you think that's running you when you go to the park? Scale's important. I don't think that's a regulation toilet roll, if I'm being honest. No. If it is, so it's not a near, that's going to run you 80 bucks.

A near full size, life size toilet full of chocolatey softs. That's going to be a lot. Yeah. I'm guessing you've got eight to 12 spoonfuls there. And I'm thinking that's going to run you $12.99. I was going to say you're in that $10, $12 range. Yeah. M's do a great job of blowing two nothing series leads.

Okay, that'll be it for the Pinderport. All right. Village Honda. Our good friends, Northwest Automall, VillageHonda.com, your dealership for life. Ask them about the new prelude, check out the used inventory and the lot. And yeah, they're still looking to buy your vehicle. any make, any model, any year.

They'll pay in 24 hours if you make a deal. That one with the C-bombs. Was that one of the late ads that had to go in? No, that went in twice. I just said to remind him to really get it in. Okay. $24. $24. Well, and if it is a piece of memorabilia keepsake, not just a cheap plastic thing, I could see that.

So it would be like a coffee cup ceramic? Was there a handle on it, Jack? I don't imagine there was. I didn't look like it. But that would be the material. as opposed to say a plastic. So that's going to drive your cost up for sure. $24 the day after every Mariners win. Oh, wow.

$24.US? Yeah. Yeah. Not giving them away. But hey. But you see there. You know, it's clever because his nickname is the big dumper. When you think of a dump, you think of poo.

And poo goes in a toilet. and poos, depending on the day. And they didn't go with the vanilla? Did you know? Brownish, brownish. Yeah, I mean, it's, there's a lot going on there. Maybe people don't understand what this is. I think it'll sell just fine.

Cal Raleigh has a nickname. It's the big dumper, and you take a dump in a toilet. And that's a toilet, you see. And it's coming with chocolate in it, chocolate ice cream with chocolate. And poop is generally brown in color. Now that you note that, I'm willing to pay the 2499 American. Figured you would. figured you might.

Somebody in the chat suggesting maybe the Oilers could do something like this. Thank you, Ryan. You're welcome, Dean. Back to you. Would you pay 24 bucks if you were there? I probably still would do it. Oh, yeah.

I think you have to. I'd probably still do it. If you're waiting for the next piece of memorabilia that is the shape of a toilet, you might be waiting a while. Think about the big dumper of the human. Lovable guy. Until the WBC, yeah.

Hits a ton. He was in the coroner. He was in the whole fucking thing. Like he was very, they love him out there. Love him.

Apparently he's got a big dumper. Is that how he earned that nickname or is there maybe another way? Because I went to school with a guy. His ass was normal size, but he could have been called the big dumper. Wouldn't flush ever. Prick. Gross.

Back to you, Rhett. My article is up now. Is it up? Yeah. Congrats on your publishing. You can't put emojis in titles. That was the issue.

So that was user error, interesting. Yeah. What emojis did you? Just a chocolate bar. Oh, I see. Yeah. Didn't like it. Well, let's not do that again, I guess.

Oh, look at that. Top right. Barnberger chocolate championship. There you go. God bless. Let's see the, because you did a write-up. This is by Jack Haberstock. Let's see.

Yep. Wherever you pick, just go find a great player. We haven't been poked fun at the Oilers. Kind of like to just leave them be. Yep. Leon's in Munich. The other guys talk about pillow fights and how good the coaching is for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

You read those quotes? Oh yeah. I heard that. They are so well coached. They are expertly coached team. So well coached those guys. Gosh, they're great structure. I mean,

just the way they play. He tells the well coached team. Yeah, well coached over there. Oh, he coached Connor. Lopex is down there. Oh, I'm sure they could just go get to,

hey, John, come on up. Shouldn't be a problem. Or the other way. Oh. Well, they were talking Hadn't crossed my mind. Francis was talking about, you know, Coop's got a bar down there. It might be hard to leave that. You have some infrastructure, some business affairs

down in Florida. Like, I'd love to work with you again. But for me to leave this, come to Evanston. It's tricky. You. Who's going to do inventory? Are you with the, yeah, like who's going to count all the whiskey bottles in the back? I can't trust staff to do that.

No. All the pickled eggs on the top of, you know, the pickled sauce. and the herring and that on the bar top. I got to, can't leave that up to these funkies. It's probably important, the Hawkins. You want to. Any chance you come down here? I hadn't thought of that, Coop.

Give it some thought. Whatever you do, don't sign an extension. You're dumb. It's right there for them. GMC Truck Month is on now at GMC. You want something reliable, tough, and ready for whatever the schedule throws at you. That is the 2026 Sierra 500 Pro

Well, I was thinking I might put a lift on it and get the suspension, kind of get it up there and do all that sort of thing.

Well, that's already done, bud. We knew you. That's what we're doing is Truck Month. It's GMC Truck Month. It's GMC. You're kidding me? Thank you, GMC. It's awfully good of you.

So many good people out there. Using their brains, thinking, doing good things. Somebody's got to say, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jack was working today. Jack was working today. Running.

There's one less thing you have to wait around for. Bet 365.

Download the app. See what early payouts all about must be 19 or older. Please play responsibly. One game in the NHL tonight, so we'll focus on that is the Sends on Broadway. They are favored considerably. I'm going to hit the Puck line at plus 125. That's the Sends to win by two or more. Maybe that's an empty netter.

Maybe they just embarrass the Ragee on Broadway. We'll see. Also in on a shot parley. Chuck has been shooting the puck of ton lately. Three shots or more for him, plus two or more for Stutzla and Pinto. That altogether puts your bet at plus 150. Pinto. It's been quite good.

About he had a Pinto. My buddy, Paul. Is that a move or no? Not really. Yeah. No. They got to hit that truck on. They kind of make fun of it.

The Pinto is kind of a. butt of a joke almost. It was his grandma's car. And then the grandma gave it to him. And he was like, it's a pinto, but grandma gave it to me. So I need to be thankful. And it's free 99, I'm guessing. Yes. Yeah. I would have been. Forget how that ended. I don't think it ended well. If it ended up on its roof or ditch what we did with that thing. Oh, definitely ditch. Yeah. I think the thing with the Pinto is a lot of some cars you can put some rims and tires on it, make it look sporty. That ain't going to help. the old pinto. Automatic pinto.

Your lawnmower had more power probably than that pinto did back in the day. I got a good lawnmower. Yeah. Do you? Oh, I believe that. Yeah. Riding? No, where to park the riding. No. I might get one this summer, though.

Yeah? Well, where are you going to park it? I just heard. I just heard. That's the other property. I see. Oh, yeah. That's right. So you'll go out there to get.

To the northeast. Yeah. Up in the knee. Yeah. So you'll go out to the property to grab the riding more every time you need to cut the, cut the grass at home or? Just the riding.

We're out there and stay out there. I didn't realize Rett's ranch was in the industrial park by the airport. Now we know. It's a long ways. Sorry, Red, blew your cover.

Yeah. To get out to the northeast there. It's tough. Feel it for you. Feel it for you. Well, I guess, uh, is anybody super chatting this, uh, shit today?

Lots. Real idea. You centers of Calgary. Get ready. Open your, uh, checking account. Because here it comes. 99 cents from WTF came back in.

With the how well the team is playing, does management need to step in and set the good players? Example, Farabee, Frost, Coleman, possibly even one of the goalies. I've got to, here's my hot take. Okay. You know who's just in town? Bender's buddy.

Gary. Yeah. Gary loves the example that the Calgary flames are setting. Yeah, he does. and Gary is going, listen, all you shitty hockey teams is your shitty management and your shitty operations. Yeah. Look at the flames are doing this.

They're out there competing day in, day out. They're not throwing in the towel. They're not tanking. I'm going to reward those bastards because we're not a tank league. That's what's going to happen, folks. That's right. Could be right. It would be one of those, if all of you just did what the flames do,

we wouldn't need all these horseshit rules around this draft. lottery. Stop embarrassing the shield. Do like conning. Jeez. And they'll be rewarded justly for that. They've never picked in the top three. Ever. And it felt like this was maybe going to be the year. There's Donnie Brooke, three bucks. Kutrov

is so good. Do you think he's trying? Well, honestly, it's wild. I watched the old, the binoculars last night. The ISO cam, yeah. Because he does, like, it looks like he's a floater, but he's just always found, it's the Gretzky stuff. He's, he's where the puck's going.

and no one knows it yet. And it's off his stick so quick. Everyone's like, oh, shoot, it's push. He's already somewhat. There's radish with a one team. Yeah. I did the same thing, but from watching it on TV is his brain. Yeah.

puts him where it needs to be. And then his hands are so good. Yeah. Where other guys be like, holy, look at he makes it quick. But for him, it's just so effortless, like a backhand saucer to space where the guy then skates into it. It's, he looks like he's playing beer league all the time. Yeah.

It's a beer league for him. He's now got a three-point lead on Connor for the Art Ross race and games in hand because the Oilers have played more than the Bolt, so more games remaining for Tampa, and he is your prohibitive favorite to win the Art Ross. Connor had a very nice cushion a couple weeks ago, but it's been a Gretzky-like run from Kuturov over the last 45 to 50 games. Last guy to put up the numbers he has over that stretch, Mario.

What were they saying? Like 77 in his last 30 or something? Crazy stuff. Good for you, Cooch. I'm all for Cooch winning it, by the way, because we don't need Buddy to win it. I'll tell you, Nate, let us down as a country. Post still ringing.

So Cochrov didn't even get to play. You can have the scoring title, Cooch, you're allowed. Booms allowed it. Yeah. Static magma. Jack. There is one key to unlocking your full potential as a reader. The shitter.

Ditch the phone. Bring the book instead. You'll be crushing a chapter with each movement. I don't like that word. Crushing? No. Crushing. The movement?

I don't like calling it a movement. I don't like that. Well, if you're doing it right. Is that the move? There are things moving, yes. Do you take your phone to the pooper? Of course he does. Yes.

I got stuck listening to Rets buddy Brian Johnson on Theo Vaughn on a podcast for like 30 minutes last night. So you're listening? Your legs will go numb. Oh, is this like sitting there with my phone out? Yeah, I was just having a party. Listening to Rets buddy and people. Peak age 27. This is what he's doing.

You ever been there so long? You kind of forget? Yes. It's like, did I wipe or can't stand up? Your legs are numb here. Hey. Calling a nurse. Come here.

Yeah, it happened again. No, come on. Come on. Come on. Don't be like that. Come on. I need help. Come on.

Then send one of the kids. It's real. It's real talk right there. Rett's mom. It's real talk. Real talk. Mr. Watts. Fellers.

Do you think something and something are a legitimate? top pair. Ball and cloud. And popcorn. Orange and popcorn. I know some people like I think they're a solid pair. Jelly beans in their popcorn.

Yeah, you know, it's... They're not an elite top pair, no. They're not a legit top pair. They are not a top pair. They play on a rebuilding team and they'll do a great job as a top four pairing. Flames are lucky to have them. Yes, absolutely. Great veterans. Guys that are giving a bleep. Leaders, work hard, physical.

Agree. Yeah, just go try to slot them in Buffalo before we started calling them a top pair, though. They're going to be your 6-7 probably, your 5-6. Yeah. Handsome Dan, $80. Whoa. There's a lot of scoring on the weekend. Feltz!

What a play Gridden Made in O.T. last night. Incredible. How's your Monday going? Well. Frican terrible, Dan. Yeah, I mean, and that's, I feel like that's what he's getting at this turn. Um, the turkey. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Picking six or seven now. Got it took the wind out of everybody sales today. Yeah. What's that? It's five or six we hit because we did five lotteries, right? Yeah.

And they dropped every time. Three at six. I say we've picked five. Does that's crazy? Cause I'm crazy and I'll just say things. You'll just throw it out there. It's kind of hot takes. Go Flames, go $89, $5.

Felt! enjoyed the game last night. Excited for one more before heading home to Terrace, BC, went to origins. Need to bring back them, Barnborough blondes. Triple B. Yeah. It's a good beer.

Terrace. Is that different than Terrace Bay? I feel like that's ways up there. There's a Terrace Ontario or something. What do we? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you're enjoying it. I'm glad you had a good time with the game. And

It's a bit of a hike from Terrace, I'll tell you not. Yeah. Well, had to be here for that. Never mind. Don't be mean. Brad Miller. Can the HIPAA not use the flames plane? $2.00.

W.H. does not allow that travel because it would provide advantages for organizations that have versus those that have not. I think once they get to the conference finals and or the league finals, they allow plane travel, unless that rules changed. Yeah, I think Memorial Cup, can and I think even

WHL finals WHL finals and I don't even think it's all the whole way I think after you each make a bus trip if it gets to 5, 6, 7 you can share a charter or something like that might be a real

they want to change yeah there's some changes they're happening some changes but yeah that's a competitive advantage so you would think wouldn't it be great if the fly they don't watch you flying it's a good question though Brad

And I feel like if you do fly, both teams have to be on the same plane. Yes. Yeah. Like how dumb. How big can we get a plane, maybe get a wrestling ring in the middle? We're not sitting in the front. No, no. They go, they were going to the front.

We have more points you right to season. We want the back. We get the back. We get the back. Fine. Let them have the back. I'm going to go. I'll show you a big dumper.

I'm going to go get a podcast on my phone and go to the toilet for an hour. I make my legs go numb. RJD2 Tabor got some tough competition for Hockeyville's side phase We were led to believe they won hockey Can't be trusting this chat Details guys, come on Making us look bad

They probably won the Western Interior or something Or they're up for Hockeyville Say hey Tabor got it Don't you get something no matter what? We have to read the fine print I think Luke Gazzdick comes To drop a puck at a men's league game or something.

Carly not for me the same. He plays at the bond spiel? Yeah. Socious. Guys, go to Tankathon, click, pick odds. Look at the average column. That's what Pinder was supposed to calculate several shows. Let's see what it is.

Oh, yes. Thank you. Thank you. So when they were in second, I was trying to tell you, the most likely spot they would pick would be fourth, which they have a 42nd. percent chance of there's all the math. Thank you. I was trying to find this AI completely was wrong. And I had the vibe, but it was going to be wrong. So if you're Vancouver, the most

likely odd is third overall, which is just cruel. If you're second from the bottom where we saw them camped out for a few weeks there, you're most likely pick us fourth at 42 percent. And where they are now currently at fourth, their most likely spot to pick is fifth. I don't know how I feel about this. In terms of where they're picking, or if you believe, Just, yeah. No, it's not about whether you believe the math. I believe the math. Yeah.

It's just, should this be the way it is? Yes. It is much to, um, it looks like this is a league that has a huge tanking problem and it isn't. Yeah, I don't feel like it is. That's why it doesn't really match up. Like, you don't need. Oilers two lottery polls.

The oil is screwed it up for us. Fricin Shelbyville ruining everything. Why are the Leafs like in red? What are we getting out there? Because once it goes beyond pick five, that pick was to Boston. So that pick was, I see. Just like Florida's pick once it gets to 11 from 10,

then that one gets transferred over for, I imagine, was the Marchand deal or another one? It's the, uh, Seth Jones to Chicago. Thank you. Yeah, that's right. So what were when, when the oilers won, what were the odds of them getting it? There were, I think even multiple iterations in there. They went to three poles in the aftermath of the oilers,

uh, because they'd had four first or overall picks in seven years. sounds like something you'd make up in a story. It wouldn't be believable. But I don't recall which lottery year had which format. Okay. But they've definitely made it harder for the last place team to win since then. And they used to, they even went to three polls at one point so Vancouver could easily,

could actually finish fourth. Yeah. But they've dialed that back to two draws of the lottery. They definitely are trying to solve a problem they don't have, if you know what I mean. O overthinking. Yeah, big time. It's a massive job justification in the draft lottery math department of the NHL head office.

So be prepared for a fourth or fifth overall pick, ish. Yeah, and settle down on this bloody winning streak. Yeah. Huska, we gave you a stern talking to Friday. You weren't listening, apparently. We're going to let that blues one slide, but don't be getting all... It's almost like he's not taking notes. Re-read the chapter, take some more notes.

Oh, well. Is that it, Jack? That's all. Thank you. I could say that's it. Yeah. That's, I feel like. Yeah.

All right. Glad I didn't come in because you'd have to drive me home. Can't drive? As soon as you guys push the button on you. How many, like, horse tranks and weird? It is just an absolute. What do you got going the rest of the day there, Retro?

I've been some reaching out to some folks as to what needs to happen next. Uh-huh. Is Joe Rogan get back to her or how does that work? Joe's sick as well right now. Oh, dear. So is it a doctor, a vet? Who do you contact? I'm going to the Edmonton horse doctor.

Yeah. He's going up to Northlands to watch the ponies run and get some shots. Jack? Yeah. How was the show today? I believe he used the word electrifying. about 20 minutes ago so we'll go with that. It's very

electrifying show. Feel bad. Brett, we're going to need you here tomorrow. Ryan's gone. Sorry, Red. He's muted. I went to, uh, are you going? Go to get some sun.

Vitamin D, Red. I got to stay healthy. Too much red exposure. What a word. A bit of Letterman two or three times. The one time I went, he will come out and talk to the crowd before the taping starts. and he apologized ahead of time for how shitty he knew the show was about to be.

He's like, I know a lot of you, you travel to get here, you're excited to come and watch this show. And I just want to apologize ahead of time. This is one of the shows we are going to do, but there will be nothing memorable from it. I wish we had more for you. I think it was one of those, they had cancellations. It was, well, who works nearby? Well, CNN is about a block away. Well, can they, so it was Anderson Cooper.

Anyone. And it was, so that's, that's kind of how I, I feel. And that was one of your two visits that happened to you? Yeah. Oh, dear. Yeah. Classic boomer luck. Yeah.

You can only give what you got, Steve. Trying to do their best, too. So this is one of the shows that we will say we have done. And I feel badly for those of you that, uh, that watched it or took part get your votes in i'd like to tell you tomorrow'll be better but boy i just don't know yeah it's gonna say should we prepare them for tomorrow we'll do a pre-show a little disclaimer the following three game winning streak they drop three spots in the standings picking fourth overall was already a bummer now we're like fifth or sixth now we're trying to feel

positive about that shit we'd take fourth all of a sudden four and five would be fine if it gets up to like that eight, nine. They've never ever picked in the top three. And they're in, yeah, not since they moved from Atlanta. Like you were talking about the ducks and they got Strom. Well, Strom couldn't get again. They got Leo and that. They picked three times in the top three in a four year span.

Next year. God damn it. Next year will be worse. Well, that's it, eh? Where are you going, Ryan? Come get some vitamin D. Go see the grandparents in the desert. I want to see the high.

Hyenas. Wacking sticks, rep. Bye. He's out. See you, buddies. See you, buddies.
