What about the other guys that they're playing tonight? How do we feel about the flames today is? They're playing some better hockey for sure. Nice road trip so far. How do you play worse hockey from this? You go 0 and 4 on the four games of the road. No, I mean, for better hockey compared to earlier. I think they've looked respectable and sort of been a 500-ish team for what,

three, four weeks now? Yes, you're right. But that feels kind of like their ceiling in a way. Well, it feels like, yeah, this is why it's not great. This is no fun anymore. Yeah, don't. I've seen this. I've gone to this.

What do they call them in Manitoba? Not a cabaret. Social. I've been at this social a hundred times. Yeah. There's no, there's no hotties here. I'm out.

There's no hotties. I've been to this fishing hole. I catch nothing. Let's move. What do we do? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Jack, you excited? I'm pumped. Yeah. Oh, good. Really excited. Yeah, who's on the afterburn? This will be a great one. You know, and we should be, because we take cheap shots at them when they play like shit.

I know. And then we don't say anything nice about them when they play. You're playing great. But it does feel like this is sealing stuff. I don't think if you play a really good team that if you say everything's equal and you had two days off and you even had the home ice advantage and you matched up against who's in the top 10. I don't even want to say Colorado because they're the best team. The fifth overall team in the NHL, I don't think you win.

Yeah, and they beat Dallas two stars ago because their goalie was the best player in this about well. He stole points. Yeah, it is still hockey. You can win games. Your goalie can make a difference. They will, yeah. They beat Dallas. There's no hobbies at this social.

They got whipped by Tampa Bay. They were in a one goal game against Carolina. They're fourth in the league. Yeah, and again, the goalie was awesome. And look, Florida's missing six guys. No, we're not making, we're not because they've won the game. Cooley is going to start tonight, by the way. I go.

So he'll have appeared in four of the five games on the roadie. I don't, I think this speaks to the coaches and the GM. Wanting to win? No, I don't think. Five of the last seven? I think the goal, I think the coach is, I think Connie's mandate for the coaches, you coach. And I think the coach is going, yeah, my job is to try and win hockey games. Yeah. So.

Well, yeah. The, that loss against, the one where he allowed zero in regulation was his first loss at his past four starts. This is now five of seven. If you include the hook, because it was Wolf that started in Tampa. Yeah. Starts. Yeah. So Wolf started two and last four, but got airlifted real quick.

Yeah. That was quick. Yeah. Let's see their lineup. Maybe we can. We just looked at it. I think we know what the flames are all about. They've actually, for all the churn, we talked about in October, they've had four lines and three pairs.

They have not really varied from for quite some time now, like since Beach here arrived. Well, they're winning games. Except the social. Zero. Come on. I can. It's a shot to the flames. It's true.

Who are you excited about who's pumping you up to watch this? Cooley. Maybe. Yeah. Sure. What the, are you jacked up to go in view? you're in Nashville and you're like, okay, Flames are in town.

Who am I watching? Who? What are we got? This goal I haven't heard of leaving the league and some stuff. That's interesting. So they're playing the backup, okay. They're going to trade Rasmus. That's probably an interesting watch.

He's out. Okay. Fans in Nashville are true fans. They're not going to see the opponent. They're going to see their team. Probably Coronado. You're talking out of true. They can't wait.

They've got their evangelista jerseys on, and they're excited to go and watch the predators and do their chance. They you suck and this whole thing. I like it. I love that whole thing. They've got their David Legwan jerseys on. They know good hockey.

You're Paul Korea. That was short-lived, wasn't it? Yeah. Forsberg. It's fun for a moment. Yeah. Forsberg couldn't stay healthy there. Couldn't stay healthy.

Anywhere. So that's tonight's game. Yep. Get your Blankenberg and Perbixville because after tonight, there's only one left against the Preds. I will give both teams credit. They've not quit.

We sometimes do see teams at this time of the year in dead last, especially veteran groups that thought they were going to be good, that just they're suffering from a pulled shoot. We saw Nashville put up an eight spot against what Florida last week. Flames are working hard. It's just a dearth of talent. You'd be proud of these guys if you were coaching them. Hell yeah.

Who? if you were a Huska. Why? Because like you said, they're kind of, they are playing at a level that feels that that's about as, that's about as good as it's going to get. And you're asking them.

They're on this road trip. You will not give them any credit. I just can't do it. What am I supposed to say? Great. That if you were the coach, work your ass off and finish 10th. Just.

Well, and that's the GM's. deal to, you know, adjust. Do we have anyone that's going to go get that wiseblatt kid? Then he run someone like, Paul, let's go home. I think it was a hit on. Did he something. Wasn't it Perek that took a elbow?

Oh, Cardano shooting it. I don't want to celebrate the end of the game advanced stats. Oh, we had more a high danger dump-ins than the other team. What? Feels like a shot at Ryan Pike. Show me. give me something to bite into. Meat on the bone.

Yeah. Even the defensemen that were supposed to be all jacked up at this point in the season 8, he ain't even around. No, he's getting ready for old juniors. Yeah, he's not here. You know, Marty Pospisal to run around around the saddle. I'm not getting enough sleep.
