Oh, hi, everybody. How we doing? Welcome to the program. It's a Thursday. And welcome to Thursday. It's also a game day.
Yeah, helmets on. Yeah. Get your helmets on. Get your glasses on and fix your headphones strap.
Get both your glasses.
That sort of thing. All figured out. Red, how was your pre-show poop?
It was excellent. Thanks, Dean.
Mm-hmm. Handled it well.
Yeah. Well, that's that.
Renee. Been added for a lot of years.
Yeah. They said he was good
in the room. I bet he's awesome in the bathroom.
I bet so good.
So good in the bathroom. That's
I mean, what's better than that?
Just looking up a couple things. Anyway, I hope it's
not about me. About your poop?
I feel like you're more comfortable than Dean in that room because he's always
worried about snakes and crocodiles coming up.
He's a little antsy.
which is weird
now it's going to be in his car
now he's going to be worried about that
yeah that's right yeah
you know what though
bravery comes through
because I spent a lot of time in there
despite my feeling snakes
and critters coming up through the
yeah
I'll take it over those fears apparently
you gotta face it
while it's it's you face that fear
you face your family
and that was less
than dealing with the bullshit
that a family
yeah
so it wasn't just me right
like that's a thing
once guys kind of get
to their late 30s
I got to go to the washroom for an hour.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you still in there?
Yeah.
Level 97 of Candy Crush.
What are you doing in there?
At our house, in our bathroom, there was a shelf.
And I really care.
Last night.
Big wide.
No, here.
And I put a TV in there.
So now my youngest goes and sits on the shitter.
It turns the tube on.
And you're like, where is that kid?
Oh, God.
body's hanging out yeah just hanging yeah which is great until you kind of need to get in there you
got you got to have enough bathrooms to pull that kind of thing one of my guys it's like you may
as well just block off like he's like a lawyer it's like half hour blocks it's like if we're
getting anywhere and he goes in that room you like no we're late god damn you like yeah what is it
a quarter after we're already we can't go now we're gonna miss the movie yes yeah i just need to
I just got to go for a quick.
Oh, God.
Anyway, a little behind the curtain there.
Game day.
Yeah.
Game day, game day.
We're just like normal people, just like you.
Game days, you want to play light.
You want to be on your toes, nimble.
Yeah.
So it's the flames on a game day against the Vegas golden nights.
The hated nights.
They hate them.
Everyone hates them.
The skirt.
You got to be doing something right.
People hating you this early in your existence.
Like, can you imagine anyone hating the cracking?
Like, how could you even do it?
And Vegas, it's like, God damn these cheaters, bastards!
But remember, everyone loved Vegas.
They were new.
There was a heartfelt, you know, attachment with the tragedy.
And then they went to the Cup final year.
Of course they did.
All the kids wanted the Golden Knights jerseys, the misfits, all these cast-offs from other teams, doing great.
What a beautiful story.
I'm trying to find out where they got hated, because you're right.
Somewhere, it loved them at some point.
It flipped.
And I almost won.
was it
Patrangelo?
Was it Eichel?
Was it saying goodbye?
Hey, Mark Andre, you're out?
Even Nate Schmidt, who was a big piece there
that we kind of forget.
They're just like, out you go.
Petrangelo coming in.
Like it was this lack of loyalty
to these like beloved core pieces
and faces of the franchise.
It was like, oh, this is,
they're pretty cutthroat down there.
And somewhere Nate Schmidt is like,
yeah, where's your loyalty?
And they said, you know what?
Where are loyalty used?
to sit, that's where we put our Stanley
Cup ring. Right there on that
shelf. The loyalty
badge used to sit, that's where the cup ring goes now.
You said somewhere. It's Winnipeg,
Manitoba that Nate's saying that also.
Yeah, it was Vancouver than Winnipeg.
Yeah. That's it.
Winnipeg having a great year. Winnipeg
higher in the Stanis in Vegas.
And spring is just around the corner.
In Winnipeg.
Yeah, you're what?
two months out from spring yeah yeah the groundhog came out only six more months of winter
that's right and it'll warm up for about nine minutes two weeks of summer they will have spring
the spring atmosphere there'll be a street festival if they can make they'll have a street
yeah what do they don't they like cook up the mosquitoes it's mosquito fest pickerel fest
pickerel and mosquitoes yeah yeah saute them up together in some butter oh when it's good eating
that is good eating but yeah they're hated everyone hate it
them how do they keep doing this
Kelly McCrtle was asked at the press
conference do you how do you go for
every good player what how are you involved in all of these
sorts of things and I bet
just knowing Kelly a little bit
over the years knowing Kelly I bet
he's losing sleep at night
yeah yeah people think he's
cut throat
but what about my reputation
but guys
could we not just get together for some drinks at the
GM's meetings and have a yuck?
I would trade this ring right here
just to be liked by my peers
more.
In hindsight, if I knew
that my
friendships inside the game and my
reputation among fans was going to take
such a beating, I
would sacrifice at all if I could only go back
in time. Yeah.
Another,
if you go through and look at their draft
history and how many picks they've retained,
yeah. The Vegas Golden Knights
use their picks as currency, no question.
And sometimes they'll even use them in the draft players,
but shortly thereafter, they tend to hit the road.
They have spent an amazing amount of draft capital
to bring in current rostered NHL players
and even superstars.
Is everyone else missing out?
Are we slow on this?
Is this how it should be done?
You wonder how much, you know, there's always speculation about how much ownership in Calgary's involved.
And my take is there's ownership involved in every team.
You don't get to run teams without an owner.
So good luck with that.
I do wonder what the ownership mandate is.
You know, I think it goes hand in hand with what McCriman is trying to do.
So I think it's a nice combination.
But I wonder how much help he gets.
in taking this team in certain directions and spending money and not even
manipulating how things are done.
Well, and the other thing, when you talk about turning heel to use that wrestling term,
the usage of LTIR is definitely one of the things that put the black hat on them,
whether it was Mark Stone or Eichel comes in and then game one of the playoffs,
they're, look, they're healthy, they come back to life, back from the dead, like Undertaker.
like sitting up in the casket and he's good to go.
I think that has run people the wrong way.
But if you were a GM and like you say,
if you had the backing of ownership and you had all the,
you spend of the cap, spend over the cap, win at all costs.
We're all in.
And this was a tool at your disposal.
Would you be foolish not to do it?
Correct.
It's kind of like the offshoot thing.
It's like, fellas, come on now.
Like, you know this could help.
you make your team better, use the damn tool.
Yeah, but they don't.
That's how they strike next.
They're going to do an offer sheet.
That is the next thing.
Wouldn't that be the perfect?
Like we already invented the, yeah,
we'll trade you this pick unless we trade it somewhere else first or after, I guess.
Like that's, that's brand new.
And now they're going to bring the offer sheet back in vogue.
I love it.
Everyone needs the bad guy, the villain.
Yeah, they are the bad guy.
But when you think about it, if you had the,
and I guess we're not saying that Mark Stone's not injured.
and not to suggest that Jack Eichel wasn't ready to play.
Or you go to Tampa Bay that Kutrov wasn't injured.
There has to be something to it, right?
And if you want to try and go into the playoffs,
you want to go through the stretch without one of your stars,
because chances are if it's a big, to get that kind of money,
9 million, 8 million, 10 million on the LTIR,
it's probably a good player.
So if you want to be without them and fight for,
your playoff spot, then that's the flip side of it.
It may not always work. It doesn't always work.
No, and there's legit injuries in there as well. Look, let's say a guy's ready to come back April 2,
has missed four months. Could you not argue that an extra two weeks of ramping up and getting
your conditioning ready wouldn't be better in the long run? I mean, we're really splitting
hairs here on some of these medical things. And if I were the GM, I would argue that. For sure,
I would. Yeah. Well, he's been out for a long time. We're just going to get him up. Playoffs.
I said it, I think, last week.
You're not going to have a doctor anywhere.
If you've been injured, you're not going to have a doctor anywhere, say,
you're ready to play, you have to play.
Nowhere, no way.
If you go in there and say, I still have an ache,
they cannot say you should play.
I'm hurting.
No, you're not.
I'm going to go out there, and every dime you make for the rest of your life will be mine.
That's what happens.
And here's the thing.
We only mention these, you know, LTIR things with the teams that win.
It happens every single year and lots of teams don't win the cup.
And no one ever mentions it.
Like how many million were the Oilers over last year?
Nobody knows because they didn't win anything.
No one cares.
When the team wins the cup, all of a sudden we care.
So it's just, oh, we got to find a way to complain about someone else winning.
That's what it is.
If the Tampa Bay Lightning flame out the Kutjaov year, no one's talking about LTIR manipulation.
It's like the other podcasts.
They're just jealous of us.
So much winning.
Just winning.
Look at Dean.
If that isn't a winner right there, I don't know what I'm looking at.
Winning at life.
Yeah.
Professional life.
My professional life, personal life.
Yeah.
Just straight Ws across the board.
Look who you get to hang out with every day.
Yeah.
Look at the ball games.
They put Ks down for the strikeouts.
Dane's every day he puts a W down on the calendar.
Stack and double.
Win.
win, win, win.
Or one of those, yeah.
Word coming from the dome, it looks as though it'll be Dustin Wolf getting the start for the flames tonight.
Love it.
That's why we're so big.
Yeah.
Stuff like that.
And, you know, again, while you're talking right about faking injuries, I guess Markstrom isn't ready to go.
Well, and Zerry as well, he must be a big faker as well.
Because you know once the flames get in the playoffs, they're going to want to use in upspace.
If only Connie had known that he'd have this LTIR space to use.
Jeez.
Yeah. And the other thing that Vegas has is kind of a desirable destination.
Oh, yeah.
So guys sign there and stay.
They're okay to sign there.
Tax free, warmer climate.
Yeah, there's new rink, billionaire owner.
To be fair, every team has a billionaire owner.
Good point.
Most have new rinks.
But it's the winning part, right?
I'm more involved than others, though.
Like Florida was, it's always been tax free and the Panthers were straight shit for a decade.
They were missing the winning piece.
And so on the other side of the state, Tampa in the exact same tax environment,
dominance.
So they finally, you know, winning, big peace.
That is.
And we don't get paid to talk about ownership because they can do whatever the hell they want with it.
But I think part of that had to do with ownership for a long time.
If your owner sets the standard makes a difference.
I don't think the ownership, like you look at Phoenix.
should be one of the most desirable places to play in the league.
And all they've done is go from disaster owner to disaster owner to disaster.
And are you telling me if they didn't have a good owner there at some point,
they wouldn't have had at least some level of success?
I'm a good owner.
That's what that is the,
what you need to get a rink done.
Like if you're going to get a rink done,
that's a massive undertaking,
you need someone that can build bridges in the community.
These guys haven't even paid their bills in Glendale.
They left them two years ago.
I was going to say, in fairness,
they had a decent ring.
It was actually a very nice ring.
They just decided not to pay the bill.
If they wanted to slide that sucker down by the billfall,
I think that speaks even more to the bad ownership,
because they did have a good ring,
and they still couldn't make things work,
and they didn't even pay their bit.
Like, what a disaster.
It needs to be, you know what, it's a confluence of events.
You need some ownership.
You need some brains.
You need to, okay, nice rank, nice city,
nice climate, tax-free.
A few things have to fall into.
place. Doesn't always, but you're right. If there's no winning, because if you were going to be a
Florida Panther for a long time, you were not going there to win. You were taking the money.
There's been lots of expansion teams in really warm places that sucked so badly. No one wanted to go
near them. It was like, fuck, it's day 10, a free agency. Only Anaheim's calling. God damn it.
Anaheim's not a good text. No, but I just mean like, oh, L.A., it must be great. It's like,
well, the team sucks. No. I'd go play for the Kings and a heartbeat.
never go to the ducks.
Like that was the time.
You do wonder if they don't go to the cup final in year one.
If the Petrangelo,
because he was the first free agent,
UFA to go in there,
I'm in.
It took big money,
but there was big money in other cities.
But he went there and then things started,
not that he's a VET,
Norris guy necessarily,
but they got the biggest
UFO of the summer.
It changed their whole plan year one.
They were going to sell James Neal
and a bunch of these pending,
UFAs. I think Perron was there at the deadline. And it's like, shit, we want to be the players
are keeping these guys. And so immediately what was probably looked at is a couple of years of
pump and dumps on UFAs to get more assets. It's like, no, we're in our window now.
Like let's move to stage three, go sign UFAs, trade for high profile players, add 30 year olds that
are great. This wasn't a slow build in Vegas. For whatever reason, they just destroyed everyone
in that expansion draft and that team was good. And maybe if you do it again, it doesn't go the
same way, but all those circumstances and events led them to be really competitive in year
one when no one thought they could. We're reading articles with the Vegas flu. Oh, the guys must
be partying. They're like, no, they're just good. I can't remember. Did they change the rules for
when Seattle came in as far as... No, they kept Vegas rules. They was. Okay. They changed for Vegas.
Essentially before it was like you could get a fourth liner and a third pair D. And the new rules were
what? Four defensemen or, you know, what, eight skaters?
so you had to expose a top four defensemen
or you'd have to expose better forwards.
Like it was a much more difficult set of rules
for teams to expose guys under.
Better for Vegas.
And at the same time,
credit words do.
McCriman and George McPhee
have done a great job.
Absolutely.
Aiden Hill was brought in for a fourth round pick.
I believe so, yeah.
Wins them the Stanley Cup.
Chandler Stevenson, peanuts.
Candler Stevenson has been a great golden night.
They got him right for a couple of seconds or a second and something else.
They have an ability to identify what player will work in.
And they've even gone through different coaches, remember.
And that was part of it too.
And they let Gerard Gallant go.
They were kind of roughed up over that one.
Glant DeBoer and then they're in their third coach.
Yeah.
So they're on their third coach.
But they have, they have a very strong ability.
to identify what kind of player is going to be a golden night.
Yep.
And they've moved on from guys.
Yeah.
Bring in patch ready.
Yep.
Robin Leonard was supposed to be the hero there, right?
Yeah.
And that's how they got forced into the Logan Thompson, Aden Hill universe.
And look, every once in a while, a goalie hits late.
They happen to be the team that had Aiden Hill when he popped.
And how do you travel before then?
And we talked a little bit about it yesterday, about goaltenders.
And how do you, how do you, how do you,
suss it out. How do you figure out?
Aidan Hill won his 17th game
of the season against Seattle
the other night, career high.
You want more in the playoffs almost last year.
So how do you look at this guy
who's a third round pick in San Jose?
We'll give you a fourth rounder for him.
Stanley Cup chair.
Yeah, and you probably weren't even trying to find
a number one so much as a guy that could plug the hole.
Just like, let's bring it a guy that has some skills
and we'll see if we can't work on the rough spots.
Don't forget the rest of the team's good.
Yeah, especially the way they defend, right?
That's a good environment for bullies.
Shea Theodore, I mean,
expansion draft, was a very good Anaheim duck.
And still, how many years has he been,
he was one of the original misfits or whatever.
He missed 35 games this season with injury.
He has 30 points in 30 games.
He's a point per game, blue line.
out, Anaheim.
Well, and at the time, it made sense for Anheim.
They were winning the division and they had four
defensemen. They couldn't keep them all, right?
Like it was Vattenen, Lindholm, Fowler, and this young kid
and they're like, look, our windows now, it's not in three, four years.
We're going to be old by then.
We'll keep the vets.
And I think they even turned it into a trade where we'll give you something
to take Theodore so that you don't poach these other pieces.
I mean, they host Columbus.
They host Florida.
They got Anaheim good.
They really exerted leverage well.
They somehow got a first with Mark Andre Fleury, if I'm correct.
Like, what are we talking about here?
Incredible work, because William Carlson is still an impactful player.
Jonathan Marcia So leads them in scoring.
Shea Theodore, as we mentioned, is he is what he had.
They did a great job.
And it was either horseshit luck or they had a plan and carried it out to the T.
Cup contender.
In the second wild card, by the way.
Flames fans know that that first round series
is important for the draft pick.
And also easy to forget,
they missed the playoffs two years ago.
They were riddled with injuries
and just could not, they tried,
could not get there at the end of the day.
Come back last season,
Eichel is fully healthy.
They go for Barbashev at the deadline.
He's on a line with Marsha So and Eichol.
It's, oh, there's some chemistry here.
These guys are pretty good.
And they were impressive all the way to the cup final.
And they,
they'll be without Stone, Hurdle, Martinez, and Carrier today.
Still heavily favored.
Yeah, what is the time frame on Hurtle?
He's on IR.
Yeah.
So it's not short.
Martinez is day to day.
I don't know if they needed, they didn't LTIR.
I don't believe to get cap space.
Stone is till the end of the year.
Yeah.
So we won't see this team at full throttle until the post.
season.
Yeah, they're, they're performing well.
Now they had coming into this game, Vegas had lost four in a row.
We're not coming into this game, but they lost four in a row right around the deadline.
They lose the next one.
And now they've got a pair of wins since Seattle in overtime.
We saw the goal.
I think you showed it around here with Eichol the other night.
Tied it with an empty net in the last minute and then won it in overtime.
Feeling good, are you?
Yeah.
And they have a lot of, even with those injuries, there are some guys that have been out.
I mentioned Theodore.
Eichel,
missed time. He missed 19 games. Theodore 35 games, William Carlson missed 12. Now they're all back.
So yeah, when they get Stone in the playoffs conceivably and whenever hurdle comes back,
that's a big push. But even right now, it's maybe as healthy as they've been all season
minus Mark Stone, obviously. That's a big minus. Well, and look, they're they're either going to
go face a division winner if they're a wild card or they're going to have to go to Edmonton.
Like we really like this team and they're going to, but there's no easy.
path for this group now. There's no home ice here. Right? Yeah, I, I don't know. I don't worry about
Edmonton. Is that what you're saying? Or you don't care if you're going on the road? No, I would,
if they were facing Edmonton, playoff start tonight, Edmonton home ice, games, seven games,
who are you taking? Yeah, I think it's almost a push. I think it's a really close series. I like
Vegas's additions at the deadline more. I need to know if Mark Stone's healthy. And that's not a
guarantee at this point. If he is, maybe it is Vegas. But, but again,
it's not like you're, hey, we'll get Nashville in round one.
Hand over that second rounder.
Like it's very much that first round is going to be a war.
The home team tonight is the Calgary Flames.
They have lost three in a row and four of their last five.
They'll go with Dustin Wolf in net.
Oh.
How about Igor Sharon Govich? How good has he been?
You know?
Her line good, Dean.
Real good.
Yeah.
Yeah, third line good.
He's been great at center.
He did not have a point in the loss against Colorado the other night, but still seven goals and nine points in his last seven games.
Why don't you just flip Hunt and Pelchay there?
It's so easy.
It's right there.
It's right there.
It's just looking at you.
Just flop them.
There's a Hunt love affair that I'm not.
Huska loves Hunt.
That is a fact.
65 love affair.
So there you have it.
Cadry, Hubert Opospals.
So Magi Panney's back.
Zeri is not.
And you'll see Hanley out rather than in.
Those are the changes.
Roger?
Yeah.
Sure.
Are we being smart asses about this a little bit?
Yeah, a little bit.
Yeah, we are.
We're kind of sitting here in silence going, hmm.
What are you looking at?
In fairness, this team has gotten throttled in three.
straight games.
They have against three of the best in the league.
They were not close to the class of the NHL.
So I guess you're not.
They beat Tampa Bay.
Yeah, I guess I'm being cheeky about Hotton.
He is what he is.
He's nearly 30.
He's a fine player.
He's, unless he's scored some goals, I guess.
He's whatever.
Who we talking about?
Hunt.
Oh, yeah, he's a fine, fourth line guy.
I don't promise.
I think Hunt should be a great piece on a good team.
I sure he was a couple years ago with the Rangers.
I think they added, yeah, on this team.
The deadline, but yeah, he was a fourth line of most of the year with the Rangers.
If you're a, if you're Craig Conroy, if you're Jerome Ginnler retro,
what are you looking for here?
I know what the, oh, guys that are trying to, but who are you evaluating?
The kids are you really?
Because you've played.
Are you, are you as interested in how Caudry and Huberto and Uyger perform as maybe
fans are or we are no i'm not i'm how did you word that question am i concerned about it
yeah i'm not i guess i'm concerned if they pack it in i don't care if they but i'm not that concerned
the fear would be they shut it down and now my i guess i guess i am i concerned i guess i am
If they shut it down, because if they shut it down, it's going to trickle down and it's going to be maybe not dissension.
But that makes it real hard for a coach to push any buttons and pull any strings and maneuver anything if the leadership group decides to, let's ride this out.
All Husk has talked about since the three losses in a row is process.
You can't control all these other things, but you can control your process.
Are you in the right spot?
Are you working hard?
you know, skate hard back to the bench.
Like it's all just basics here.
This group isn't going to be measured on wins and losses the rest of the way.
I think what you guys are highlighting is that you want to avoid the greatest concern,
which is veterans kicking this thing into neutral.
Yes.
And what about the coach?
What is your message to this group when you're in practice at the end of practice
before games in intermissions?
I said it yesterday.
I said, I think that your instincts,
would tell you to push harder, but I think
they'd be wrong.
Right? Your instincts would say, yeah,
process, sure, we got a process.
But I really think you have to find
something to
keep them together, right?
Keep that core, the team concept
together, but it has to be an enjoyable thing
because I'm looking, hang on,
I'm looking at the old standings
here. There is no
chance they're making the playoffs.
So there has to be something else that's galvanizing this group.
If you want them to compete,
then it's got to be something fun and interesting.
I don't even know what it is.
Maybe it's a treehouse or I don't care what it is.
It almost has to be organically found.
Remember when St. Louis won the cup?
They were the shits last place in January 1st or whatever.
And they go on a run because they went out and had.
had some pops in Philly and found a song.
Yeah.
It has to be something silly and stupid and just fun.
Maybe you can't even do mustaches anymore because it's used for everything.
Because everyone's gone.
Honestly.
But honestly, like it has to be something stupid and organic and just enjoyable where it's like,
okay.
And maybe it's about helping the kids.
Like let's get Peltje 20 goals.
I don't know what it is.
But for him to go in there and go, okay, we've got to watch video.
Oh, we lost again, so we need to spend more time at the rank.
We're going to do a little bit.
Yeah.
And the challenge is you're trying to incorporate a lot of new defensemen too.
So I think there would be that want to be like, let's go over systems.
Let's go over systems.
But the last thing a veteran wants right now is to draw this thing out longer than it already is.
You've got a small window every day where you're asked to be a professional as a hockey player.
It's what, three to four hour windows where you've got to be your best.
That's it.
It's not a nine hour shift.
It's not easy.
But give us your best for these three hours, three, four times.
a week and there's there's no issues here.
Noodles talked about it the other day on that flames team before you got
their retro about you take the five guys and we've got 10 games left and you guys
that doesn't really work guaranteed contracts guys make a big dough.
Oh, so is McKenzie Weager going to be threatened by it?
So that doesn't work.
I agree with you and it's got to be something where it's not so lame that guys are
going to be this is stupid.
But you're right.
It has to be something that can.
somehow bring the team together.
We wanted to make the playoffs.
We're not.
But you know what?
We're in the NHL.
We're taking home six figure checks every couple weeks.
Let's let's do some.
Let's find a way here.
Do a team fund.
Again, okay.
So first,
a couple things.
One, Husk has got to be
cognizant of this and actually
have a plan for it.
But it might
not be his to implement.
Hear me out.
It might have to be the leadership group itself.
If Michael Backland has missed the playoffs and he's like, I don't want to deal with
this and just, that's not going to help.
If cadre's like, oh, God, that's not going to help.
The leadership group would know the room is good or better than anyone, even the coach.
What's cool for the group?
Are we a tight group?
Are we going on a, are we going to rent a carnival cruise line and whatever?
every win, everyone puts 500 bucks up
and we're going to go do this at the end of the year.
I don't know what it is,
but it has to be something silly and fun and enjoyable.
Yeah.
And the leadership group should take ownership of that.
Now, that might be the best coaching that Husky can do for the last month
is kind of like noodles and Sutter.
Bring the leadership group in and go,
how are we going to handle this?
Yeah.
They all know what's happening here.
How are we going to?
Dreams day.
Because we know it.
You can never admit that you're out.
going to make the playoffs until you're mathematically.
Yeah.
Whatever.
Like, okay.
But we're growing adults.
We've been doing this for a while.
How do we make the most of what we've got here?
And wins and losses, yeah, I guess.
But how do we find a way to make this enjoyable and not just a month that we're going to just hate?
Because you can't, the one thing you, you're not going to make the playoffs, but the one
thing you can do is create a culture that's enjoyable and fun.
And that will carry over next year.
Even though there'll be some changes,
if that group leaves in April and they say,
F, that was fun.
Yeah, we didn't do as good as we can.
Yeah, we didn't have a chance to win.
But damn it, I really liked playing with this group.
I really enjoyed doing this shit.
This was awesome.
That's what you need to create.
So that next year, when guys are coming back, it's, yes, let's go.
Yeah.
And again, this could have been a three-month spiral.
it's not, it's one.
Yeah.
This is, this is almost best case scenario when you think about how much clamoring there's
been an understanding of like that the road that this group was on was not going to work.
You could not just cap yourself out and add more vets and lock into this core of a mediocre
team long term.
They didn't do it.
But they also hung around in this thing all the way into March.
That's pretty impressive.
And so I know we're here today.
We have to do a show every day here.
But it's almost been best case scenario.
if you really believe they had to tear it down to build it back up.
And best case scenario will be that they've had this season.
It's been decent.
And they leave at the end of the year feeling good about the squad and wanting to come back.
Yeah.
And you've already found a pospso.
You've found Azari.
You know, you've got to.
But you understand, right, when we, when we have these conversations, there's the layers.
There's, there's that, which is real life Conroy perspective.
And then there's Nazim Kadri.
Yep.
Well, that's like 7 million a year.
He's pro athlete.
Hey, now, as we found a posthal and we try it like, yeah, that's, that's great.
But I'm the guy that, you know what I mean?
It's inside that room, you have to, it's been, it's been great the way they've dug in and they have played hard.
But I would go, and everyone's, sorry, Dean, but I would go to everyone's contract, find out who's got bonuses.
And that should be the team rule.
Get everyone as much, Murray Edwards will love to hear it.
Get everyone as much bonuses as they can.
Maybe you need one of those.
They don't even have those anymore.
Maybe you need like the cardboard cutout, like in major league.
And after every win, you peel off a piece of Murray's bikini.
Yeah.
And look, how many teams are dealing with this in the league?
Because only 16 get in, let's say three or four are hanging around in the chase to the last week.
Like I don't want us to make this sound like this is a really, really, boy, this is a unique difficult situation.
Like not, not making it.
There's 12 every year that have been.
And there's been 10 that have been in this for over a month now.
But it's just, it's right now.
the deadline was a week ago, less than a week ago.
Some liked players are gone.
You're not making the playoffs.
Yeah, teams have to go through it, but the flames are one of them.
So how are they going to do it?
Well, it's for me, again, I'm interrupting you.
But for me, it's, that's all finding good.
We can recognize what we have.
That doesn't mean that we should be trying to, I don't want to be.
Anaheim or Chicago next year.
I want to set myself up for a better situation.
And that's, I think, what we're discussing.
We all recognize what it is.
Is there a way to make some real positives come out of the last month?
And I don't think to just playing it out and saying,
well, you're getting paid and you're a professional.
Accomplishes that.
That's just, okay.
Some guys you don't have to worry about.
But I think you guys have hit the nail on the head.
It's like, where's Cadre's head at?
When you watch this team down the stretch last year, that was not high water market.
I think you're worrying about.
that we're just talking about specifics.
I'm talking about trying to create a culture in this last month
where guys are pumped to play here.
Because we've not had that.
They've played very well.
I'm not questioning what they've done for the year.
They've had some outstanding performances from individual players.
The team is, it probably is where it should be.
But that doesn't mean, yeah, okay, well, we got a month.
Let's just get through this and we'll work as hard as we can and just let it go.
no use this time as a positive to grow something word gets out in the league i fuck those guys in a
cow here looks like they're having fun like it does matter you have to make it a place where guys
still want to come and play and i we can say the bullshit oh it's what a great it's on the lowest
the lower end of desirable places to play and if it was if you're winning it makes it more desirable
and if guys are having fun, it makes it more desirable.
You have to create something that makes these guys want to stay and be here.
And it can't be just a paycheck.
And I think having guys like Conroy and Huska will help.
Because in the past or just whoever, if depending on who your GM, who your coach, who your, you know,
who your leaders are off the ice, they will dictate a lot of the temperature in that room.
Are we allowed to have some fun here despite the first?
fact that we've lost some games and we're going to miss.
Is that is that permissible?
And I wonder if sometimes if a coach saw it,
I'd be like, what the age are we doing here?
Why we're dancing around?
We're having a good, we're losing games.
I feel like there's, there'd be a welcome spot for that here.
I imagine this scenario under Daryl and it's like, oh.
And that's, I think, a big part of why they had to make the change last year is that it was like,
Can you imagine the difference showing up to the rink every day now with Huska versus Daryl?
It's not to say Daryl's not a good coach.
We know he is.
But it's just in this particular scenario, God would you not want to go to the rink last year this time?
And they didn't.
They played like they didn't.
And the other thing that can be established is who's out.
If you do create a fun, enjoyable culture and you've got 15 guys that are in there banging the drum,
and you've got a handful that aren't.
that could be a right that that raises i don't know red flags or whatever we want to call it but
if conroy's watching going huh i've got this group over here really doing what we hope and want
they're trying to create and then i got a handful of guys this little click over here in this
corner not maybe this offseason this is the group that i need to deal with
something to uh something to try and
something to accomplish over the last 17 games.
And what about us?
How are we going to approach these 17 games?
Look at how my feet are.
Look.
Your feet are in the,
almost a nutshot.
Sock feet up on the window still?
So what have I done?
I've put my feet up.
Hmm.
Well, in fairness,
you have really grinded this winter.
I know.
A lot of tricks.
trips travel time oh yeah it's about time that you burn it red yeah so if the two of you could find
some way to make it fun for me for the next month or so that would be so i thought you were the guy
that's that's your job i think uh i'm only one person not having fun on the show most days
yeah well i'm hoping that uh you know this off season there will be changes made okay
and if that means i need to be a sour puss to get shipped out of town
then I'll do it.

But I am free on Thursday.
Look at my blushing over here.
Oh, geez.
March 23rd, we're going to be over at Greta.
And you've heard us talking about it.
We go, we've got the alley set up.
We're watching the game.
There's food.
There's drinks.
Arcade games.
Everybody's having a good time.
Greta put some work in.
This is what we're talking about right here.
There you have it.
All that was missing was some Pinder high kicks.
It's all we needed in there.
And it would have been,
it really captured the spirit of the thing.
Yeah, I promised more high kicks on the 23rd.
I was roped into doing afterburner that night.
So it was not peak pender,
which is probably maybe the right amount for some people.
There you see it.
It is game day hosted by Flames Nation and Barnburner presented as well.
Our partners at McLeod Law and Village Honda.
Get your tickets at nationgear.ca.
There will be a, there will be a charge.
But the thing is, it's going to charity.
And you'll be way on the other side.
There's far more than $10 value in this whole deal.
you have my word on it
and it's Vancouver
who might still be without
Thatcher Demko week to week
is that what?
They had an interesting finish last night
did they not because they had a 3-0-0-0 lead
3-1-0 in Colorado?
They got Coloradoed last night.
Oh, on this second half of a bad
Avalanche down 3-0,
second in it
McKinnon, Rantan, McKinnon,
McKinnon,
James.
Look out.
I need Jack to email me a link.
Can you do that, Jack?
Email yourself a link.
Thank you.
I've completely frosted over here.
This computer is a...
I thought we had fixed it.
His computer's good.
We've got a way to make this one better.
We just need to get back to that.
I know how to do it.
Yeah, you do it.
Just do it.
Go ahead.
Just do it.
No, I don't know if you heard this morning.
You're kind of close to it.
How many times have you gone to Pittsburgh, right, this year?
Oh, two, take it.
Pickets for two pickets.
Lots.
Probably this year, six, at least.
Well, you might be a suspect then.
Oh, dear.
I'm not sure of what you've heard.
Don't believe me for anything.
There has been a heinous crime committed somewhere around Pittsburgh.
This from the Penguins' Twitter this morning.
The Penguins announced today that the shipment carrying the Yarmur-Yager bobbleheads for
tonight's game has been.
stolen on route to Pittsburgh.
As a result, the bobbleheads will not be distributed at tonight's game,
but will be distributed at a later date.
Somebody stole the bobblehead.
So we don't know, did they steal the truck?
Is this some Sopranos type thing?
It's got to be.
Tony.
Thought there was a bunch of DVD players in the back and it's all these bobbleheads.
Well, this feels like an inside job.
I don't know.
Well, there are.
What could you do with,
10,000 bobbleheads.
I think you sell them.
One at a time?
You've got to really spread it out because red flags.
What you do is you get those bad boys back to Czechia.
Sell them all before the authorities of North America can get on the caper.
So they're trying to figure this out.
So people that are going to the game tonight,
they thought they were going to be getting a Yager bobbled head.
They're getting a coupon or some kind of a token.
So later date you're going to be able to get this thing.
So really a sad, sad tale.
They are trying to nail down.
who did this.
Obviously they're looking for some suspects.
Right.
And they've gotten to a short list.
There's the traveling joggers who obviously look,
don't they look like that would be,
that's the type of crew.
I know those boys.
Hey, buddy, I got a flat tire.
Could you give me a hand over here?
And then it's a tire wrench to the back of the head.
And one of them's hopping in the driver's seat
and they're gone with these bobbled hands.
I would say like knowing these fellas,
they would never do anything like this sober.
The challenge being,
there's not a lot of time those guys are together with their soul.
I was going to say,
I think they are real suspects.
Yeah, I think they,
whether they've been fingerprinted yet,
remains to be seen.
And there's also another, another one,
another suspect.
Where's the flames jersey?
That's true.
This one right here.
Gritty.
Oh, geez.
Is topping the suspect.
State rival.
Yeah.
Look at, look at his eyes.
I feel like if Gritty got him,
Gritty gets to keep him because nobody's messing with that thing.
No one's messing with Gritty.
God, that would be one of the great, I mean,
it's against the law, of course, steal a truck.
But that would be the greatest prank of all time for a, for a mascot.
Already Gritty is really, he's the gold standard for mascots in the national hockey league.
If you stole a truckload of Yager bobbleheads,
because Yager played for the Flyers too, right?
If you stole bobbleheads to ruin bobblehead night, whoa.
Again, it's good we're on the internet because I'm pretty controversial here.
I almost hope that's the case.
If I'm in the flyers, I'm leaning into that.
I wouldn't have him in a loading van and authorities.
Like, this is great stuff here.
You've been given quite an opportunity.
It might not be gritty, but
Flyers fans
definitely have to be on the list.
Gritty, they have to make a video,
right? Of him running around
with bobbleheads. They got to do something there.
So anyway, I hope everyone's okay.
You know, tease and peas
to the truck driver. If the
NHL was really good, they would
have gritty with a bag full of
Yager bobbleheads walking down
the street and they're falling out or something like that.
Yeah. Like, doing off all the
heads of the penguin yager.
Like, let's go here.
Yeah, it'd be terrific.
We'll get to the Pinderport and roll.
Want to mention, I know that it's,
so when is, when spring?
When is spring, spring?
Spring.
Well, it depends if you're in Winnipeg.
Yeah, October.
Yeah, it's definitely spring.
The windows and doors are open here in beautiful Buffalo.
Yeah.
I got a little chilly overnight, but we're warming up.
We're warming up.
We're getting there.
and you know what's going to be it's going to be patio season.
And we've been talking about our buddies up at Madrose,
Madrose Pub last year, or I guess over the, I guess a couple years.
They put a lot of work and a lot of time and a lot of money into establishing and setting up there.
It's kind of like an outdoor, indoor.
It's got a retractable roof.
It's like a three season kind of patio, but it's one of the best patios in the city.
And so don't sleep on it.
Get ready.
Madrose Pub had been with us.
right from the start day one they're an OG and we want you to keep them in mind as we get to
the warmer temperatures and get outside and have yourself a nice frosty cold one maybe some
maybe some finger foods maybe some of that delicious pizza that they serve up there at 15
royal vista place you can visit their website to order takeout gourmet pizza that dough and sauce they
make it fresh every day every single day mm mm-hmm 20 beers on top kid friendly Saturday
Sunday Monday but I got thinking about
that this morning. That patio
that Matt's got wheeling up there
it's ready for you.
It's going to be
lit. It'll be off the hook
is what it'll be.
Off the hizzy. Is he? Hizzle?
Hizzle or his, his,
his, his, his, oh.
Lizzo. I like Lizzo.
Lizzo's good. She was sleeping in a car
like five years ago trying to make it. What a star.
Love it. She, uh,
She plays the flute.
Is that right?
Flutist.
She's a very accomplished floutist.
Why is that funny?
It's just a weird instrument.
It's really, it looks,
I don't know that a human can play a flute and not look weird.
The tubas like the size of a small car,
and that's even looks more natural than the flute.
What's the best wind instrument?
What's the coolest wind instrument?
Woodwind? Is it just the sax?
The trumpet.
The trumpet, but doesn't have the rain.
Sax is way cooler, for sure.
I feel like this.
And what did Kenny G?
That's a saxophone.
Is that a saxophone?
Is it a piccolo or something?
Definitely not a piccolo.
He's a saxophone player.
Now there was a guy that traveled around with the roots,
known as tuba Gooding Jr.
It was pretty cool.
I get it because it's a cute.
I just didn't get you tuba.
But I was going to say about Kenny G,
that guy slayed that P back in the day,
if you know what I'm saying.
The
Tootty, Tootty.
The Ttole Tosophon.
That's right.
The P's silent and saxophone.
The saxophone.
That's right.
I mean, that guy.
Oh, dude.
Yeah, G.
The saxophone.
Fudity dooddy do.
It's like, what's that?
The Pipe.
Poverta, room 612.
Pivot, pivit, pivit.
The Pied Piper.
He was the sweet saxophone.
phone us. The women couldn't handle it.
Who's the Pied Piper?
What was the Pied Piper? He would be
piping and then they would follow him through the
Pied Pied. Come on.
Wasn't it the kids? Who had the kids?
You've never heard of the Pied Piper?
I've heard of a Pied Piper, but I have not heard of him
revered in a positive life. I'm not sure it is revered.
I'm just talking about the control, the impact
that the Pied Pied Piper of Hamlin.
almost like your
not a bit of March
they uh what's when you get
you're getting very sleepy
hypnotist
imagine if you could hypnotize people
and you were ventriloquist you could do with your puppy
that really did.
The Siper lured the rats away.
That's what I'm saying.
Not the ladies rats.
All I'm saying is he played
He was the Piper and the rats just
followed. They couldn't have it.
They were under his control.
That's all I'm saying.
Oh, okay.
Is that Kenny G. had people under his spell.
I thought you said the Pied Piper was some kind of weird perv.
No, no, it was just the control.
Right.
Because of his.
Also weird.
Air wind instrument.
A woodwind.
Yes.
The saxophone and the tubabah.
So do we decide, so the sax is the way to go?
Yeah, sax is the way to go.
Guitar is a winner.
Lead singer is good.
drummer does okay, saxophone slays.
You always want to go saxophone.
The saxophone.
And the trumpet is a hit at sporting events, but I'm not sure where else.
Yeah, it probably gets a lot of 30-year-old high-fis, but not-bunals, right?
The thing.
Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Is the bagpipe a wind instrument?
It's got to be some kind of modified wind instrument, doesn't it?
You're blowing into it.
You got to blow into brass and brass isn't a woodwind.
Like saxophone is not a woodwind.
Clarinet would be.
The oboe.
Did we say a wood?
No, we were just talking wind instruments.
So for sure, you'd have your brass and then you're, you're wooden.
And I would think the bagpipes have to be, right?
You're blowing into it.
Yeah.
They're kind of annoying.
I don't know that you're,
getting your as much pasachsh as one as the other guys.
Yeah, I don't think you're...
This is not no way.
Like, that was cool for two minutes.
That's really, and annoying now.
I don't think Kenny, Kenny G is slaying the pee with the bagpipes.
No.
Pender won't remember.
We should have gone.
Boom, remember the priest from the roast?
Yes, of course.
He, such an idiot.
Whenever he was going into a golf tournament or something, he would hire bagpipes to have,
when he was coming, or being an, or,
Yeah, walking around the course with bag.
God, that's an idea.
Well, remember that, because that was always the thing
when you go to the curling events.
And they're going to, all the ranks are marched on
Frapa, fra, pa, frae, frae, la lae,
but there is something, you know what,
when it's, there is something haunting about the bagpipes.
When you hear them if it's at a funeral or,
Remembrance Day.
Remembrance Day, that sort of thing.
Oh, yeah.
How did the, like that's a, how does that instrument made?
Because you can think about just, okay, so I got this stick and you're, oh, well, what if I put a whole, who, who, who, like.
They got it a cow.
They gutted a cow at one point or something like that and cleaned it out.
It's similar to the haggis situation, Dean.
The less you know, the better.
Is that what it is?
Yes.
It would have to be something sick.
Some sick bastard invented the bagpikes.
Johnny bagpipes back in the day, you're a freak.
Johnny P.
No, you got to hear it.
Just wait.
It's going to take me a couple minutes.
I got to blow it.
I got to fill it with air first.
What?
Are you doing?
What are you doing?
No, I'm just filling the bag.
I just got to blow on it to fill the bag.
I'm done with you.
Are there any gigs for saxophone or for the bagpipers that aren't just dead people?
Well, remember, ACVC had the bagpipes.
Did they?
In that one song.
What the hell was it?
Is that like later in the...
Free, free-d-free.
Come on now.
damn it. Anyway, it's hard to get it in, though, right? You don't sneak in the bagpipes.
It's kind of right in your face. Johnny bagpipes.
Johnny P. I mean, Kenny Pee and Johnny B. He served time for something, for sure.
Killing sheep to get their guts. Oh, so you're the guy that invented the? Yeah.
Son of. Yeah. Well, what got you? So you grabbed the thing, you just started blowing on it and blowing into it and then it made noise.
and you.
I'm just going to thank you.
Adaboy, lewd dog.
It's a long way to the top
when you want to rock and roll.
Wee!
Right.
Right.
Whittily whee!
Not easy to do.
Not easy to slide the bagpipes
into some Aussie rock.
Only the best, Dean, could make that look easy.
You want to rock and roll.
Talks about where they,
how far.
back the bagpipe goes, but not about how. No, I.
Didn't have Wikipedia back then. Tough break. I'm just trying, because you've got the,
because there's the bag and then there's great antiquity.
Because there's the other like stems that come off it and then there's the main one.
Yeah. You blow into one and you're, you're, and you're kind of hoopy. You're doing this,
this sort of thing. What about the one where you'd blow it, but it was a keyboard?
It was and then it was a
It was the key tar
K guitars are bangers man
Is it?
Oh
Don't pump out some dance hits
Just throw some key tar in
Well that only blew into that
I think that was just a piano
And a guitar handle
Do you see the video
Of Jack Block when he was on Fallon
And he played I think it's the sax of boom or whatever
Yes
Yes that was very good
And then
And then the roots jumped in.
But, but,
but da-da-p-da-p-da-pa-ba.
Good times.
See, this is what we're going to do.
17 games.
17 more games.
We just need stuff.
You should see the amount of dumb shit I have.
You're not really going to need much filling.
The melodica is a handheld free read instrument
similar to a pump organ or harmonica,
a musical keyboard on top,
and is played by blowing air through a mouthpiece.
Melotica.
I'm going to get me one.
Oh, they're in a guy these days.
I'm going to play it.
You're not Kenny P.
You don't have some hookups.
I'm going to play it when I go to my golf tournament.
Yeah. I preferred Betty Cooper than Melotica.
She was kind of a bitch, to be quite honest.
I mean, Archie was always nicer than Reggie, right?
Reggie was a bad guy.
Well, that shows you.
It's all works.
Yeah.
So you get ahead in life.
That's right.
Be in a.
So you have.
Who was the other?
Because there was Betty and Veronica.
Archie Reggie.
Who was the redhead?
Well, Archie was redhead.
No, I know.
Or give me the girl.
Because then there's Jughead.
Yeah.
And didn't he have a gal?
What was her name?
Yeah, she kind of looked like Jughead.
She did kind of look like Jughead.
Yeah.
And then you had Moose.
Moose and Midge.
Midge. That's who it was.
Yeah.
Archie Jughead.
Betty.
Veronica, Reggie, Kevin Keller.
What? No, this is not right.
No. You have me until there. Here we go.
Wait a minute, though. Archie Comics. All these say they came out of it.
Really? He did Josie and the Pussy Cats was an Archie. Josie. Yes.
Watch your mouth. The saxophone cats.
Junkhead.
I don't remember a Kevin, but Valerie.
Val?
Josie.
Really?
These people don't seem right to me.
Maybe they've advanced since I stopped reading them.
There was Dilton Doyle.
Midge Clump.
Mr. Weatherby.
Trev?
Ethel.
Athel?
Was Ethel with Jughead?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
He loved Bird.
burgers, eh? Jughead?
God, do. He hammered them back.
I mean, lean? There was nothing to him.
He's kind of like the Joey chestnut.
Joey's a large man.
He definitely had a, uh, some sort of
eating disorder. Yeah, tapeworm. Is that what they found out at the last episode?
Barfing those up after the comic strips over?
Okay, are we done? I just got to go around back because I can't keep this slender figure
if I'm having nine burgers.
I'm going to need a bigger pointy hat.
If I keep eating my burgers like this.
Sabrina.
that name rings a bell.
Does Jack have any idea what we're talking?
Oh, God.
He's just like, what are these old?
Jack, do you have any idea what we're talking about?
No, and I don't read, so I have no idea.
He does snuggle.
No, and you've asked him about Archie before.
This is no, he's now O for two.
He hasn't picked up Archie since the last time you mentioned it.
You know what?
Jack is, Jack is batting almost at the average of Ozzy Brad.
Like, no one could, no one can meet Ozzy Brad.
No.
But Jack rarely disappoints.
It's always like short to the point and like a snide comment about something in the world.
Fucking fire Matt Canada is useless.
God damn it.
Danny Pickett, best quarterback ever.
Quick, in a note.
Who was Ethel?
Somebody's saying Ethel was, uh,
Archie Veronica, Betty, Jughead.
Kevin.
You're, like, Kevin.
There's Reggie.
Valerie Josie.
Sabrina.
Raj.
Oh, this is some new waves.
Yeah, I don't see.
There's a Trevor.
You're going to come to a Trev.
I don't remember a Trev.
There's Trev.
Yeah, no, Trebs, no.
Well,
uh, time for the Pender report.
Time to get serious.
That's right.
Yeah, enough of this.
Hey, stopking around.
It's time for the Pinda report.
Push the button.
Ryan Pinda.
Brought to you by Village Honda.
The 2020-Fonda, the 20-24 Honda,
Accord was redesigned last year, chosen by car and driver magazine.
As the number one mid-sized sedan, one of the most reliable vehicles on the road is better than ever.
Superior ride quality, reliability, and impressive fuel economy thanks to the EXL hybrid.
Check out the Accord and more at your dealership for Life, located in the Northwest Auto Mall,
it's Village Honda, and they present the Pinder Report.
Fellas, we start with the Wild Card Standing's Flames in Action against Divisional Ravel in Vegas tonight and the flames are well, well out of it.
Well, well.
Now 10 back.
With 17 to play.
It's a lot.
By the way, they're trying to reel in.
They're quite good and hold the second wildcard.
Now tied with Los Angeles for third in the Pacific.
We'll see if they don't slide up into that two, three matchup with the Oilers.
That is the opponent tonight.
Flames March has been, well, a bit of a mixed bag.
They won their fifth in a row at one point in this month, fellas.
But since then, bit of a grind.
Bit of a grind.
What are you going to get to get into playoffs, 96 minimum?
I don't know what the threshold is now.
It looked like it was going to be really low in the West,
but Nashville's on a heater and Vegas all of a sudden is flying.
So I think you're probably around that 95 point mark again.
But I just don't know who's going to hang.
Do we see St. Louis?
Maybe Minnesota gets going.
I've been waiting for Minnesota to get going all year, fellas.
I'm still waiting.
I'm still.
Dean, can you do the math on that?
How many for us to get to 95?
if we have 67.
You're going to need 32 wins between now and the end of the regular season.
Well, how many games are left?
17.
Ah.
Kate, where are we picking?
Where are we picking?
Well, can he picket?
George picking better than Kenny Pickett.
Kate, Vegas, what do they look?
Well, first off, Hunter Bristevich has been inked by the Calgary Flames.
As of March, they were eligible to sign him.
He is a late birthday.
he will be eligible to play in the American Hockey League next year.
This is an absolute no-brainer.
And anyone suggesting he wouldn't sign here does not understand
what contracts work.
Now, he can play at the end of this year too, right?
Of course you can.
Yeah, you can go on an ATO at any point to the American League.
But as a full-timer in the American League,
most of his draft class won't, but he's the late birthday.
He is.
Does that blow his first year if he plays?
It'll be an ATO this summer, so no.
Can you say words that matter to me?
I don't know what I don't think you care anyway.
It'd be a minor league.
Only if he plays NHL games, I believe, is how that works.
You could income to a PTO or an ATO, but typically you'd have money in ATO so that you can preserve your one.
Can you tell me what ATO stands?
It's an amateur trial rather than a professional trial.
Yeah, which they do all the time in the spring with collegiate and a major junior players at the end of their seasons.
So look for one of those potentially.
My uncle had a GTO.
Beautiful car.
Awesome.
acting went like snot.
Jack spent weeks playing GTA.
GTA, yeah.
Yeah, GT5.
Is that the good one?
Yeah, and almost GTA 6.
Almost.
It's coming out soon?
Is it coming out soon?
The year, yeah.
My kids literally go to YouTube and watch guys play GTA 5.
They're too young for that, Ryan.
What?
Like if they just go down, they're too young for that, Ryan.
Well, there's certain they'll build tracks and stuff.
when people play them.
It's like challenges.
They're too young for that, Ryan.
It's the less racy stuff for sure.
It's like, hey, you go.
They're on the tubes.
You don't think.
They can be watching us.
Jack, I don't think Rett's mic is working.
Brett, can you, what is, what does Rett say?
I can't.
Just keep, Red, if you can hear us, just keep.
They're too young for that, Ryan.
Okay.
They are too young for GTAs or GTOs.
I just maybe get them to a hard power section.
What about STDs?
Are they old?
enough for those?
They are not.
Vegas lines.
You haven't, then you're immune to it.
Boy, can't get to these lines quick enough.
How about that?
Look at the Vegas Gold Knights, fellas.
This is without Mark Stone.
I got an SDD and a GTO one time.
Nobody wants to know.
Dean, we can't talk about my...
Just turn like that damn, my God.
Dean, stop talking about this stuff.
Yeah, he enjoys the toilet humor.
Stop the hammering.
And it's always toilet humor.
That's the baseline here.
Don't really have much to say about Vegas.
We know they're good.
We've talked to one of a bunch.
Ruthless and cup contenders.
You did nothing while you're here.
You'll do nothing in Vegas.
Have a great time there, long hair.
Long hair, don't care.
I'm rich and you're not.
Hope you go all in at the black jab table
and the dealer gets 21.
Oh, no.
And blackjack, but you know what I'm saying.
That would be bad if you go 21.
Let's move to, no one cares about the Brestevich signing.
I mean, we all expected that.
I want to move to Portugal next.
Yeah, you've already talked about that.
It's not a bad thing, right?
No, it's great thing.
Restavich, signed good.
Good, yeah.
Now go kick some ass in the playoffs,
Kitcher and then get your ass out to the Wranglers and help them.
That's right.
Now, last night in Vancouver, did you see this?
The Big Z.
Gordy how Hattrick.
Now he can't fight for shit still can't.
And Manson absolutely handled him.
But that still is a fight, an assist, and a goal in the same game for the old roller coaster that we used to call ours for two plus years, Dean.
Get it to win it.
You like, I think you like having him on your team.
Defends your honor because Manson took a run of J.T. Miller in the end towards.
And Zorov said, not of my watch, Bucco.
Are we seeing a, uh,
George Peros ringing, ring, ring, ring for that one.
Because that was pretty bad.
He's pinned to the wall and then he comes in and drills him right on the head.
I like your use of Bucco.
I have not heard that for a very long time.
I'm bringing it back.
I think you need to.
I think you get a Bucco hat or something.
Maybe it's T-shirts.
I'm with you on the Bucco.
I'm in for Bucco.
I got no problems with that.
Listen here, Bucco.
Not on my watch, Bucco.
Not while I'm around.
Pull it down.
Put it down.
Thank you.
Bucco.
Oh, the.
Gordial Hattrick, of course, named after Mr. Hockey, Gordon Howe.
One of the greats.
We know he does not have many despite being named after him.
He's had two.
So Dean, who is the career all-time leader in Gordyhow Hattrick?
He was in the building last night watching.
Rick, talk.
Bam!
Yeah, Rhett.
And the other guy's, Benish, Ghan.
That was my old Gordyhow right to your kisser, the old Gordial elbow.
Bam!
Love it.
A trivia there.
Most of us know it, but nonetheless, trivia.
If you've got people new to hockey, you can try that out on them.
But why did they name it, the Gordy Howe Hattrick?
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah.
What would they do?
And you know what?
That would be a cool.
You would be really revered in your group.
Say you're at the pub and guys like, hey, you see Zedora, I've got a Gordy Howe hat trick.
If you then chimed in said, hey, fellas, did you know that actually Gordy Howe only had
two of those in his NHL career?
And actually, it should be called a Rick Tocke hat trick because he had 18,
and that's the most in NHL history.
Right.
And then you would ask.
And then you would have to be the NHL's chief disciplinarian.
He had 17.
That's right.
And you'd ask that person to leave the table and go sit outside.
Are we all Cliff Clavins now because of Google?
You can be.
And the thing is I don't know that guy.
Right.
I think our brains adapt very quickly.
And so we just don't remember shit that now is a Google away.
Well, I would you remember it if you could just Google it in a second?
Like, I'm not wasting any storage on what time it is and what day of the week it is.
I can press the phone and there it is.
Because you can throw it, you can just throw it in there as well.
Actually, boom, the Pied Piper of Patipius.
He was the mice, leading the mice out of the rat.
Nadine, the March of Ides is really about Julius Caesar.
Julius Caesar was murdered on the 15th of March.
Hamada.
Oh, let's move.
80 assists for McDavid.
He still good at hockey,
huh?
Very, very good.
Here's your list of
consecutive 80 assist seasons.
So someone did it three times in a row.
Mario LeMille,
that's very good.
Bobby or three times in a row.
McDavid's now done it twice.
Or also has a two or a two seasons trick in there.
Gretzky 13.
Oh.
Oh.
What?
For more than a decade.
For more than a decade,
he was an assist plus a game.
They played 80 for some seasons in there.
Like that is wild.
And it'd be interesting while we're talking about Cliff Clavin, if you up that number,
most consecutive 90 plus assist, 100 assist.
I mean, the list is one name.
That's what we're getting to here.
Kucherov is 280 plus assist seasons, but not consecutive if I don't see his name on the list there.
So there's McDavid.
He also did other things last night.
What else did McDavid history make?
It looks like, oh, look at that.
It's the first player with 30 points in a 10 game span at home since Mario.
in the mid-90s.
With this guy, you haven't won a cup?
You haven't even been to the final with this guy?
Get him a GM.
Shut down Mario that year.
Yeah, you did.
Yeah, 95-96.
Yeah.
Semifinals.
In Pittsburgh, Jack.
Bucco.
Shots fired, Bucco.
We're going on to round two, Bucco.
Conference final.
Hey, Yager, cut your hair.
Bucko.
I'm going to steal your bobbleheads in 20 years.
30 years, Bucco.
I just, it's going to be a topic for all of June.
T. Gingl Gingl, doing things.
Here we go.
Fingling will again.
A gillah back inside the zone.
A pin up in a cheat check for Ginnla.
It's got.
A tremendous third period rally.
And Colonna, they're firstly to the game at five to four.
Well, Tizsia Gidlin hadn't in his own zone with stick handling.
Look like he might just throw it up off the boards instead skates it out.
Heads across the blue line.
Nice little pass to Cheechick.
I wonder if his father likes that wiggie,
wiggie, booboo bullshit.
Well, I mean, the thing about Regan Bartel of all the broadcasters that do bath salts
before the game, he's the best.
So take it up with him.
Slow down on the meth, Regan.
Now, what I also.
You go, wiggoo, woo, woo, woo, woo.
I think you would appreciate, Rhett,
because you would tell all your young defense,
when the other team is entering the zone,
make sure you're focused on the puck,
and then everybody go to wherever it is.
Don't worry about who's beside you.
Well, let's watch it again.
Go to the pop.
Everybody.
Yeah, we've got to refer back to our early days in hockey
where it's puck chase.
We need to be puck focused.
The swarm of bees.
The guy without the puck will never hurt you.
I don't even know if that is.
Honestly, the guy is absolutely a legend, one of a kind.
He's doing the best Regan Bardell he can do.
I love it.
Go for it.
Just do it.
Do your thing, right?
I'm not Jerome McGillah.
I'm not going to phone you and bitch you out about calling my kid, Iggy, Wiggy, Woo.
So now Teage is having a monster year.
A fantastic season.
Teage is having a better draftier than his father did.
What?
Shut the front door.
Trade him for New and Dyke.
Hang on now.
I think Newndyke does.
Is Newindyke got a kid?
He's playing down the street here in Cinesh.
We'll do the Iggy Wiggy Woo-Woo, the swan.
You don't want to make that trade.
Oh, I'm telling you, that's not the deal you want.
That's not the deal you want.
You want Iggy's kid.
Our sources say that would be a poor trade.
but we don't have
not yet not yet
we'll see where the the flames end up drafting
it's sort of more and more looking like they could land
in the top 10 top 9
the question is
will Teej be on the board then where is he projected to go
because every time you refresh these rankings
or they come up with updated rankings
he's higher than he was in the last one
and it was like he's probably a second round
or maybe he could sleep in the late first round
boy he's looking like a middle of the first round
he might be a pick in the teens
and now there's even some suggestions
that depending on who's there
and how the rest of the season goes,
he can be a top 10 pick.
What a draft season.
So you're talking about Iggy Wiggy Woo-Woo.
Jack, could you...
Is that who it was?
Iggy-wiggy.
Is that the guy that's...
You don't need to do it again.
It's fine.
I mean, good if you want to.
Tonight.
Our buddy Sam Cosentino
just put out his prospect list
or the ranking for the draft.
Tej's not in his top 10.
Yeah, and that's kind of been the consensus
to this point.
It's just that he keeps doing this.
There you see it.
Yeah.
Now that, I believe that,
because there's the Russian defense,
you see them.
Conroy must just be frothing at the mouth,
all these Russian defensemen.
Geez, just beside him.
We got to get into the top five so I could draft them all.
The one,
and I think it's Saleeb,
isn't he like six, seven?
He's just a monster.
Buttery hands.
It's a six foot seven headman kind of thing.
There's lots of D.
We told you that.
in the top 10.
Look at the Calgary Hitman at 5.
Don't know that he goes that high.
There's been sort of a few hiccups the last month as the hitman have fallen out of a
playoff spot.
Hickups.
Yeah.
Caden Lindstrom, Medicine Hat, Tiger.
Sure.
Just trade back.
Get more picks, Dean.
Trade back.
Trade back.
Hey, gag, gai, gai, gaw, go, go, woo.
Tonight's NHL Slate.
Boy, there's a lot of non-flames games and even one game involving the flames, Dean.
Soak it all up.
We'll take a peek later when we get to our what's on the menu for DoorDash.
To the dumb chapter of the Pinder Report.
Can we just have some fun?
It's been so sporty here.
Well, why don't we start with an old staple of the Pender Port, a ladder?
I wonder what's going to happen.
That's winter.
You got a pail.
Jack and Jill up the hill.
I wonder if he'll fall down and break us around.
Oh, no.
What I want to do.
Just put the bucket down.
Oh, fuck!
This is the best possible.
What happened, babe?
What happened, babe?
I'm okay.
No, dude, you broke.
I saw it.
No, I didn't break anything.
I'm okay.
God damn it, this is a second.
I'm okay.
What happened when...
What are you?
I'm not getting involved.
I'm out of here.
He fell off the ladder, I think.
He fell off the ladder, I think.
That's correct, Inspector Cluso.
He did.
fall off the ladder. How did you do it? How did you piece it together? There's so much there.
I'm calling 911. No, I'm okay. No, you broke something. I saw that. You broke something.
Did you think maybe you'd come and hold the GD ladder? Or just kind of monitor how it was going to go?
He fell off the ladder, I think. I think he fell off the ladder. I saw, really, down the street from where I
live a few years ago,
I saw kids with a ladder out
midwinter up on the roof.
It was interesting.
And he didn't stop and film for the Pinda Report.
Now I don't.
I missed my chance.
How dare you?
You just start contributing to the content
of this program.
That's a bad one though. I mean...
Oh.
Falling from a story up isn't good.
The fact that he's moving around is actually
quite.
I mean...
fortuitous.
I mean, people thought they should have called 911.
That's how bad it wasn't.
Because I saw that, I saw that one on, on social media yesterday.
It's like, man falls off the ladder.
He was okay.
Define okay.
Like, not dead.
He's alive.
Yeah, like he's breathing.
Yeah.
I don't think he's okay.
What happened, babe?
I think he fell off the ladder, I think.
I'll tell you.
Let's not jump to any conclusions here.
She must be good at some things, as what I'm guessing.
She must be really great at a few things to have her hanging around.
Like Sudoku? What are you talking about?
Not holding a loud.
She's a floutist.
Hell of a gal.
Dean's off tomorrow.
So we're sending him into the weekend like this guy.
He is just ready to rock.
Motherfuckers want me to fail.
But guess what?
It ain't happening.
You know why?
Because I got a motherfucking microwave on my head.
I found an evidence, Dean.
You found him.
Yes!
I said to Ryan, I think it was earlier this week,
have you seen the video of the guy he's on the motorbike?
And he's riding around with a microwave on his head.
And he's really good because he's like locking up the brakes and sliding and he never falls.
He's very adept at it.
He's winning at life, Dean.
Like he's a big motherfucker.
I know you people want me to fall and I'm not going to.
Back on, Mom.
Come here.
Rat was showing us the spring-like conditions in western New York.
It looks gorgeous.
And I know you and the shoveler, big, big thrill seekers, adrenaline junkies,
love a good cliff jump, and they've been out.
Mile high club.
In upstanding, not that high.
Let's have a look.
Oh, come on.
Red.
Are you all right?
Did you go off the hill?
Just wait.
Because even if you're.
make it.
It's shallow as hell.
Yeah.
You don't think it goes from beach to 20 feet deep, right?
What an entry.
Look at the technique.
You know, no, he's, oh, God.
Did you fall?
Well, the good news.
What happened, bad?
The shovel jumps next, right?
I think he just off the cliff.
The shoveler jumps next to save me, right?
Shoveler had you back, healed up, and you were ready for your next adventure.
this might have been the weekend before or after.
I don't know. I didn't have them time coded.
Let's have a look.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Send it. Oh, fuck.
Jesus.
Are those just knees you hear snapping?
Is that something else?
It's flesh.
One. Send it.
Oh, fuck.
Just hear it.
Well, good thing you counted him down.
Well, that's what you got to do because you get fearful.
When I was jumping off that bridge in South Africa, they were like,
They kept you talking, kept you distracted.
All of a sudden it was three, two, one, jump.
And you go, oh, I guess he'll jump.
They say if you hesitate, you're screwed.
Yeah, we got a picture of you on a different bridge coming up.
But let's get to Bear, who I believe has been hoodwinking old boomcat for a while here.
Oh, my dog.
This is the time of year.
There he is.
Oh, buddy.
Bear!
No.
And if you've got two dogs, you should have, like, how many doses a day in the snow there?
You were looking light in the backyard
And I think we got to the bottom of the case.
Now, you...
Clean up's been easy this spring.
Where are they hiding this shit?
Literally.
And that's actually the neighbor's house.
I trained him to do that.
Lily.
Jokes on him.
Now, this is not a dog.
I think someone was confused.
They maybe thought it was a dog.
Oh, is this guy lost?
He's missing his home?
Come here, boy.
Ow, mother.
Fucker.
Son of a bitch got me.
No, that's not a dog.
It's a dog.
It's a wild.
How.
God damn.
God damn.
I can't.
This is a bit like the gator stuff.
I'm not sure it's the coyotes.
It's not.
He got me.
I was just standing here.
I was just innocently putting my hand out, waving him over.
Come on, people.
Be smarter.
Be smarter.
What's the upside if the coyote does?
Like, you're going to pet this?
Yes.
You just go to sniff?
You bring that home so I can bite your wife?
What are you doing?
Well, you must be freezing cold out here.
Come here, boy.
Oh, here you are.
Now what?
Please.
See you later.
No, Rhett was over at Razor's house.
You know, they share the backyard fence, Dino.
And I think...
They share a lot, Ryan.
In Mr. Razor's neighborhood, they've got a golf simulator.
And here he is working on his game.
Course is about to open.
Harry's 36.6 yards.
36.6 yards.
One broken penis.
now is that a slice or a hook that'd be a shank that is what we call a shake
a little upright he's he kept his one eye on the ball
jeez um rat and his buddies when they were traveling around the world
got down to central america it looks like you were riding donkeys or a horse or something
an old glue stick gets a little scared here
I get it dust of the animal.
Hang on now.
Ay, aye, aye.
Oh.
Oh.
Well, Rhett, I hope you didn't shatter your pelvis when that horse slash donkey landed on you.
Yeah, that's donkeyish, eh?
That's a...
Yeah, that's pretty donkey.
Oh.
That's no, no good at all.
Ah.
Now, are we going down under now, or do we have one more thing before down under?
I'm trying to remember where we're...
I think we're going down under.
Down under.
and look, it's a little weird at first dean,
but the more videos we see,
the more we understand the Aussie male,
and the more time you spend in Australia,
the more you turn into one.
Case and point,
this is, I believe,
is a North American
that went and traveled to Australia.
This is my voice one day in Australia.

sorry to
now this guy we've met
Tarzan
Remember the guy that was pulling the logs
Out of the little swamp there the other day
Yeah yeah
He calmly guided the crock away
He is a very famous
Nature dude
Not unlike Steve Irwin
Got a family
Super Hot wife
And all these crocodiles
In the northern territory
One of them is called tripod
He's missing a leg
He's got another one that's
I think he's called Tarzan
and they're going to feed the crocs here.
It's the wet season, lots of water,
and he's trying to help these crocs heal from their injuries.
Okay, you can see Tarzan here.
He can smell that pig.
Just up there, a couple of fresh pigs.
Whoa, there he is.
Okay.
Hoy, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Come on.
Oh, whoa, whoa, geez, out.
Oh, no.
Uh-oh.
All right, Tarzan's out.
Tarzan's out.
This is a problem.
All right, man, what are we going to do now?
All right, Tarzan has got out of the pan,
he can smell the pig, he's starving.
All right, let's get him a feed and get him back in.
I mean, it just doesn't stop.
This guy's Instagram, I realized about 1,000 videos of him.
He's like breeding puppies,
but they're all like 2,000-pound dinosaurs that eat things.
It's incredible.
Let's go to the next one.
Did you have something there, rat?
What about the wife?
You mentioned the way?
What happened, Ben?
What the cat's talking?
I get on the cave.
Size of these things.
Goodness.
Oh.
The crocs,
is that real?
I don't know if they're trying to
clear the pathway for boats or whatever,
but the crocs right in there.
Golf balls?
What are we getting there?
What are we doing?
I'm trying to get.
Hellas.
Look at this.
Monster.
Um,
got a snake today.
Just one, though, Dean.
Just one.
Don't even know if it's that big.
Not nearly as big as yes.
This is not in your car.
Oh, look out of the water.
Cute little guy, hey?
Aw.
Oh, look, see?
You had to do that.
Come on.
I would not be happy.
Oh, I wouldn't be in there to begin with.
I was going to say, what are they doing?
That water looks like poo water.
Yeah.
They're on.
Maybe they're bogans, right?
It's the, just take it happen.
It's decent.
I don't know.
He looks at it.
control here. He's not too scared of the snake. That's a good start. And finally, I'm a little
embarrassed, guys. Had a bit to drink. He made a few mistakes and ended up on camera. So this is me
getting chased out of an establishment earlier this week.
I didn't do anything. Oh, you. Start going.
Oh, geez.
Oh, Ryan.
You need to play a little defense there at some point.
Well, I just needed a puff.
I figured if I'm going down, not without a head rush.
See, ordinarily, you can just kind of be fun love and party guy.
Yeah.
And people just kind of leave you alone.
Not all the time.
Look at my jacket.
How is that not fun?
Yeah, very 80s night.
Anyway, playing hurt, as we all do.
The good ones, Rhett.
That's your pinned report on a Thursday.
Village Honda, huge selection of pre-owned vehicles,
all makes all models all budgets
with over 90 units on site access
to over 500 more in the dealership group
make Village Honda your one stop automotive
destination in Calgary. They're worth
the trip, Village Honda located in the
Northwest Automol.
They know what you do with this segment, right?
What they're aware, yeah.
Flames play tonight, Vegas is this
Flames sign the guy now states.
Craneros.
People saying cunt.
You got to change your
algorithm some way.
I can't get a good look at Dean.
Maybe we got a full screen here, Jack.
I don't know.
What do you think?
No, we don't need a full screen.
All right.
Just a few more things.
I actually had a,
I don't know how I knew
that you would have crocodile videos,
but I thought I'd take a stab at it
and take, on the off chance,
there might be a crock video
in the Pinder report today.
I saw this fact come up.
If you are chased by a crocodile,
They are fast on their feet
but cannot turn very well
So if one is chasing you,
run in zigzag lines
All right, that's kind of what the bunny rabbits do.
You notice that?
They're like, hey, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Which I mean, yeah, I can see that.
The crocodiles are low to the ground.
Hey, you can come get you,
but probably it's the right turn,
left turn.
Good to know.
Good to know.
I feel like they're not really chasing people
so much as people are taunting them
and putting their hands in their mouths.
It's really more of the videos we're watching here.
they're probably just laying there.
They've just had a
yummy gazelle or something.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, I had too much to eat.
Oh, I am so packed.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to do much
the rest of the day, but just lie here.
Oh, my God.
I'm sending to this guy's Instagram,
the crocodile guy, this is, he's next level.
He's Steve Irwin 2.0.
It's unbelievable.
Well, let's see what this guy over here is doing.
Let me see if I can stick my hand in his fucking mouth.
I'm going to have to kill this son of a bitch now.
I'm so full.
I just, I just ate.
All right, asshole.
Come here.
A couple of things.
Retro, do you have a snuggy?
Oh, I don't, but I want one.
Nightshirt.
Well, Wendy's has something even better for you.
Come on.
It's not the snuggy.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
What are you talking about here?
The front door.
Wendy's is, they want to, they want to hook, be one of the,
you want to be one of the exclusive few to bring home a Nuggy?
Look at this.
The all white fleece interior.
That looks cozy, dude.
Hey, doesn't that look cozy?
Yeah, but one if I'm hungry.
The redded exterior, as you would see on a, one of those delicious nuggets.
You got the quick order QR code on the sleeves.
You could go right, boop.
Are you serious?
And the, the cuda gras, the insulated pocket for,
your six pack of nugs.
Jeez. And that's on top of the bunny hug hole.
You can put your hands under there.
Follow Wendy's Canada
on TikTok right now.
Check in daily at

conditions apply. Goodness.
Now, did the shovel get to keep that?
I see she's modeling the outfit.
That's kind of her.
Wendy knows what she's doing here.
This is brilliant.
They are good.
Lerino would definitely.
That's perp for a bill's game, isn't it?
I'm starving now.
The Nuggy.
I could do the bet we betts if you want, I suppose.
Did I have anything else?
What else did I have there?
The drop, the yogurt?
Crocodile's straight.
That's probably enough.
That's probably enough pertinent and relevant sporting info for the day.

are watching live.
We're very fortunate.
We thank you for that.
Our numbers are on the climb and that is great and we do appreciate it.
But the one other thing that will happen is if somebody word of mouth, maybe you turned
it on leading up to the.
Tanev trade or the Hanifan trade or whatever the case is.
And then I'm going to maybe need to start watch this show or get get to what,
what this show is about.

My boy, Jerry.
What's up, Jerry?
What's out of Jerry?
Come boy, Jerry.
Oh, boy, Jerry.
Oh, good, Jerry.
Yeah.
Back in a jab.
To answer your question, we're not really sure.
It's this.
I'll say this.
I'm at a point in my life where I talk about the power play.
Or talk about Archie Comics and Kenny G. Slay and P.
And whatever else we talked about today, GTAs and GTOs and STDs, I know where I'm falling.
It is what it is.
