Good day to you and welcome to another telling edition of our show called Barn Burner.
We are live unless you're watching it in the future.
Or the past.
Which case.
Watching the past.
Oh, yeah.
My kid is big into this.
Time travel?
Yep.
There's too many dimensions, Dean.
I'm just going to say, how many are there?
This many.
Yeah.
This show, whenever, whatever vortex you're in and you consume it.
It's brought to you by Bet365.
Nice to do that.
Whatever the moment, it's never ordinary at Bet365.
Official partner of the National Hockey League.
Download the app.
Get in on the game.
And,
Oh, mama.
We've got a super chat for this.
You kind of need to be live in this dimension.
Yeah, you do have to be present.
How do you know?
Maybe they're sending them from the future.
You know what?
I take it back.
I don't know.
Times of a human comes.
Construct.
Tell you care of that one.
As long as it's wherever you are, we're here now, as long as it arrives where we are now.
Get it to us now.
Yeah.
Now's the time.
Then we're going to take that money and get it to the youth centers of Calgary.
We'll take your comment, your joke, your thought, your bitch, your gripe, your, your boot, your bouquet.
Salus.
Salute.
Maybe you got a beef, a hearty chuckle.
Yeah.
Or a chortle.
Even a guffaw that you'd like to share.
Gaffa's are welcome.
We'll put on the show.
That's how that's going to work.
I drink too much call.
Yeah, I'm about two.
Second coffee here.
I got the gut rot going.
Oh, no.
It's not really a second coffee, though, because it's like I always get the double America.
So it's like eight coffees.
Yeah.
It is a gut rot.
You get too much coffee, no food?
No good.
Yeah, I don't know how you're sitting here right now.
Because I'm only done one.
Once I'm done this, I'm going to be a mess.
I would be down the hall yelling.
It's brought to you by Bet365.
No.
Super chats.
Get your helmet on.
It's a game day.
It would go a long way if Jack got us food.
Then am I.
Why are these pizzas coming, Jack?
We're not going to forget.
Call the boss.
The other day.
I'm off the hook.
That's right.
This is your fault.
You literally one day said,
no, no, no, Dean takes on your debts for no reason.
I'm agree with Jack.
Well, it was because Dean's a jerk.
Well, you know what?
Dean, I'll take on your debt.
Look at this.
He's a D.
I don't have any debt.
Yes.
Well, yeah, you do.
You got Jack's debt.
but he's taking it back.
You have a pizza bed.
Oh, you're taking your own get back.
That's mighty noble of you.
Thanks.
Welcome.
Yeah, game day.
Get your helmet on.
It's the Adaheim Ducks.
In town.
Yeah.
Did this game day?
Did it feel like a game day?
Did it feel like a game day?
It did.
It did.
I woke up and it was an odd number day and I knew damn well.
We're playing.
I've been hammering that pretty hard.
I'm glad that's sticking.
It was as I woke up was, is there a game today?
Well, it's every other day.
I know we should show the calendar thing on the screen the other day.
So it's going to be a game,
but who is it?
Yeah.
I didn't know.
Had to look.
Because they're just on the road,
and they got a lot against Vegas and San Jose.
It's not Minnesota yet.
And L.A. is the last game of the year.
Who am I missing?
Yeah.
And you know, I went looking today.
Did you?
And I'm going to do it again.
I'll do it right now.
Live.
Yeah, I do it right now.
Or in the future.
But first, to set the kind of set the stage,
what are your opinion's thoughts of the Anaheim Ducks?
When you think Anaheim Ducks 24, 25, that team just what the thoughts?
Let me first are it?
My thoughts are I don't think about them very often and there's not much to get excited about as a Calgary.
Right.
I agree with those.
They play late games.
They're ignorant.
They have the 7.30 starts out west, which adds to my disdain.
And I hate Cory Perry and Ryan gets left one.
Stupid ring.
It's go.
Yes.
Stupid.
I only won once there as a flame, maybe.
Like it was.
You know, what's funny is the damage done to the ducks?
on one side you've got Perry still out there damaging it.
Even though he hasn't played there, it's always a duck.
You're still ruining the,
and then you've got BXA who's trying to repair it on the other side.
I don't consider BXA a duck though.
I know he was there and this and that,
but his effectiveness was served in the Vancouver,
greater Vancouver area.
But it did get heightened in Anahehyche.
GVA.
Because then you had Perry and it was such a muck team.
The guys we don't talk about,
we both probably all probably love is a guy like,
pronger who he can play on my team.
Scott Niedemeyer,
not the Rob Niedemeyer DeMier,
which we could give a take.
Yeah, we don't like those guys.
Yeah, Korea getting absolutely dummied by Scott Stevens,
yet coming back to score.
It's clean hit.
He was no one near the puck,
and he got absolutely drilled head first
and was like a pool of blood.
Totally clean hit.
And he's fine.
Keep going, kid.
Jesus.
Hey, Paul, what day is it?
Sandwich.
He's good to go.
One of the most violent acts on a sheet of ice.
Yes.
ever.
It is.
And then he comes back and scores the winner.
Another visor fogs up
but he kind of
Oh, he is alive.
At least he's alive.
And correct me of my wrong,
but also Gary Suter crossed him to the face.
He was either a duck or Korea was still a duck.
That was an incredibly violent.
That was vicious.
I don't know if you remember that one or not.
Red clearly does.
Yeah, I don't know.
Oh, just right to the face, chops.
It was ugly.
It was old school.
Yeah, it was.
It was mid 80s and the mid 90s.
Rat was watching on his TV and,
And Korea's face got chopped,
and I was like, get up!
They're embarrassing your father.
You know what?
There's a guy who'd be awesome right now.
It is prime.
Exactly.
That guy,
he's taking late hits and getting hooked and drilled and that.
Can you imagine if he was free to just kind of?
Well, and you don't have to imagine.
He talked about it his whole career.
He's like, we got to get rid of this hooking and holding,
this clutching in the neutral zone.
And you're like, yeah, he's soft.
And you're like, yeah, he would dominate today.
I think it was Solani.
There was one clip.
I know there's been some of Mario,
but I think there was one of,
Salani. And he was shown the clip.
And it's like, so just taking a look back to the 96 or whatever.
And he basically had a guy. He was piggybacking through the neutral zone.
And then another guy comes and grabs him as he goes across the blue line. And he's trying to
fight and he's still got the pocket. He's different game.
Rest are just watching it.
Yeah.
It's like that's a title.
Tight checking.
That's tight checking.
Got a battle through those checks there, kids.
It's a man's game, Timo.
So now I'll come back to the, just thinking about the ducks.
The new century.
It's a bit of Spider-Man meme in terms of where they are right now.
Not talent level, the flames.
I think it's the flames in three, four years, but go ahead.
The flames, 35 wins.
The ducks have 33.
At home, both 19 wins.
On the road, ducks have 14, flames of 16.
Last 10 games, both.
five four and one scoring first ducks of one 24 times flames 25 opponent scores first ducks nine
flames 10 uh over time we got 10 wins they got nine wins there's a lot of record
similarities between these two and we're here being like this what a season this flames
the un friggin i can't believe the goaltending yeah the work that they've done and then if you flip
is, well, ducks are kind of shit, right?
Duxner. Yeah. Yeah.
They both have really good young goaltenders.
Dostle and Wolf, it's been coming out part of years.
Gibson?
Gibson's not.
But they are that, they are a team, and we talked about it.
This is the third time they'll play each other.
The first time and then the second time, and we'll do it again.
Some of the best young talent that there is in the league.
Yeah.
Give us some names.
Well, so this is where I see the huge gap with the flames is like, I think
statistically similar, but they have the two centers for the next decade.
They've got Mason McTavish, Leo Carlson, down the middle.
They got a cutter Goce on the wing.
They have Lecombe, Zelwiger, Minchikov that allowed them to trade a Jamie Drysdale.
The young kids are playing big roles in the spots that you're seeing 35 and 36-year-old Cadrean Backland here.
Yeah.
That's the difference.
Yeah, that's why I was, and that's where the similar, on the ice, the results have been very similar.
Yeah.
However, they are now well into this rebuild and they will not make the playoffs.
No, God, no.
it will be the seventh straight year out of the playoffs.
And I wonder, and it's not to dispel or to try and throw cold water on the,
well, you have to rebuild, get bad.
But I would think probably, what, three, four years ago when Zegaris looked like,
we've got a superstar.
And there would have been some other youngsters.
Yep, a bunch of guys.
Okay, so we're a year or two away.
And four years have come and gone since then.
Yeah.
And if you had to pick one group right now to say the next.
saying that and i'm not trying to fight you but it's just like i i really view this team as one
position to be competitive as soon as next year and you've seen the moves that i just imagine pat
verbeacon his office like chewing the end of his pencil that's already been chewed for two weeks
grinding his ass off they've added some veterans as if they're ready to start competing when
you bring in gudas truba colorn those are the we're going to teach the young kids to work those are
the guys that set the tone go ahead red how many years of the flames miss playoffs they may
And it was the last one.
So this will be the third year missing in a row.
Darrell Huska.
It's going to quickly turn to seven.
If,
right?
And it's not a,
but you say seven and it sounds like forever.
They're a long shot right now.
Could they make it?
Yeah,
maybe.
Flames,
yeah.
Flames,
maybe.
But now you're three years.
And are we more confident in next year's team?
You know what I mean?
Three turns to seven real fast.
Yeah.
Like if Dustin Wolf has a medium Dustin Wolf season next year,
what does that look like?
I feel like this is a really good Dustin Wolf season.
Anyway, not to be depressing about it,
but you hear seven years out of the playoffs
and you expect to be further,
I think they are coming, the ducks,
but you expect seven years,
well,
you should be.
And they've mismanaged some stuff
that I'd hope you wouldn't do here.
Like,
they've been trying to trade Gibson
for a price that no one wants to pay for four years.
And every gym.
So it's like,
why don't you just take the L and move along here?
Does he got a no move?
I wonder if part of that.
Sure,
but he wants to get the bleep out of there.
He's been completely dischained.
It feels like he has been there.
since 2000.
He was probably there when they won.
And you know what's crazy?
And only a hundred games.
Cam Fowler got traded out of there this year.
It feels like he's been there.
He would have been there for a hundred years.
They won five division titles in a row, which is incredible.
To think about being at the top of the mountain five years.
I don't think the Oilers are more than two division titles, period.
I mean, David, five in a row, they won.
And when you're in that window, it's like, yeah, we're trading our first every year.
You're damn right we are.
It's like watching Malcolm, Crosby, Latang.
They've got that guy from Dallas that you love, Eves.
Oh, Patrick Keys are the dead.
Such a great beard.
It was a sneaky pickup and then he got hurt and wasn't even available for the playoffs.
That happens a lot.
But yeah, they've got, of their kids, they have 140 points and 58 goals from guys 21 or younger this year.
Leo Carlson has 20, uh, 20.
No, yeah, Leo Carl's has 20 goals.
That's an impressive number.
Second year old.
He's 20 years old.
Cutter Goce 21.
Pavl Mintykov, you mentioned on the back end.
He and Zellwiger, 21, McTavis.
just turned 22.
And Jackson Lecombe's coming to nowhere to your best defenseman.
I think.
Yeah, Jackson Lecombe.
Really good.
It's a breakout.
Yeah.
College guy and just does everything, big minutes, all situations.
Points, hits, shots, like he's just all over the place.
And he was not the guy supposed to be that.
That was supposed to be Zellweger, Mitchikov, before they traded Drysdale.
That was going to be their one.
This kid's totally changed it.
Second rounder from 2019, he had two goals and 17 points in 71 games a year ago.
defenseman this year 43 in 67 draft defense it's quite a jump imagine you have a 50 point season is a forgotten about guy that you started as a seven that year 19 in his last 20 oh
coach likes him got to have a coach that likes you dean coach likes you can get out there on the ice real good opportunities do we know who the coach is i don't think the guy i don't think the coach is all that well like to be quite honest cronin he's old school that's a verbi keyer it's not the guy that's going to get him over the hump so much is set the foundation now do we know is this norms kid
It is.
It's got to be right.
Normand.
Is it Norman or Normand?
I'm going to look it up.
Because there was Normand Rochefort.
How the hell would I know?
Do you know George St. Cyr?
Oh, yeah.
Jerry St. Cyr?
Yeah.
93 points, 400 pimps.
Victoria Royals, 9-2.
93?
Oh, my God.
I mean, that's a hell of a second round.
There you see.
Look at the jump in terms of points.
I like 17.
I got 18.
He played the other night.
They beat San Jose in a shootout.
First time ever, the ducks have swept the season series with the sharks.
Really?
He had 31 minutes of ice.
Jeez.
Yeah.
He's going to get war out.
3104.
Thank God they're not making the playoffs.
Yeah, he's ready.
You know what's interesting there?
If we can throw that back out?
Can I say vitamin D?
Once he got out of the north, it came south into California and the subject.
Out of Eden Prairie and then into Orange County.
You want to see that again?
Yeah, he's a four-year college guy, which usually means.
I'm going to test UFA, but he actually signed with the team that drafted him.
Because if you play four seasons of college, that August you become a UFA,
he actually signs.
And you can see after his collegiate careers, dining, it's two games up.
But a point per game defenseman in NCAA hockey, that's a great thing.
You go right there as an 18-year-old too?
Looks like his draft year would have been 19, so that he's drafted at the
USHL, four years of college, then to the end of the show.
There you guys.
That's those tough.
How do you, we were talking about the Brooks Bandits the other day?
Yeah, where are your scouts?
The difference is...
Are you watching a lot of Chicago Steel?
Are you able to equate what someone...
I will say this.
The USHL has had more kids drafted than any Canadian Junior League in the last 10 years.
It's going to be interesting what happens with the USAHL.
I was talking with the guy this morning about the USAHL.
Just curious as to, you know, with all the changes,
who's going where?
Where are all these kids going?
Plus, just so everybody knows,
we've decided to add four more teams to the league.
Oh, yeah, for the NHL.
Yeah.
That we've told people yet.
Yeah.
We talked about it this morning.
Big release. We'll do a press release later.
But if you're at more teams, you're first to hear.
The NHL, where do we?
You got you two have or the NHL?
Yeah, no, no, we told them.
We have.
Got it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Is that in the Pinder report?
No, no.
Breaking news.
We're ironing and out.
The press release to come out later.
Maybe Monday.
Jack's a nice ski weekend, right?
All that snow, sunshine's coming.
Dean, you're going to hit the slopes.
Love the slopes.
You are us.
Yeah.
I haven't skiing a long time.
You should.
You should ski more.
God, I love ski what it is.
shares great for you.
When you got your kids in sports,
your weekends are gobbled up.
And if you have it,
we don't need to run to the rink for a 645 practice.
Maybe watch a little football today and just chill out.
Can I bitch about hockey and sports in general?
Youth sport.
Sure you may.
I'm going to go get a coffee.
No one wants to hear.
Old people talk.
And the Flames,
you asked,
So I guess it's a baguati.
Yeah, I guess it has to be.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Yeah, get some T-shirts made, go on that AI app you got there.
We'll have them out by two.
Are we 6.0 now or something?
I've lost it.
Seven.
Seven.
St.
Louis, two days ago, we shifted our focus.
Is it seven?
Shift it.
Well, you don't have to shift now because they're tied, aren't they?
The Wild and Blues, look at those records.
There's a, seven to three, 76 games.
they are identical.
Identical.
If you wanted to project the next six games,
which horse would you bet on?
Why is Minnesota ahead of St. Louis?
Why isn't?
They'd have to have more regulation wins.
That's the first time break.
I thought it said identical.
Well, the wins are the same,
but they might have more overtime wins in St. Louis.
That would be the example.
Well, Rhett, 33 to their 30.
Yes.
33 regulations.
Identical all the way across.
Then what happens?
Then they have to go to some weird,
then they have to fight.
Or head to head.
They have to fight at the UFC.
Also, where they're not identical is the blues of won 10 in a row.
Just.
The Wild have lost a couple of rows.
I saw a stat yesterday with the Blues victory at 10 in a row.
They're one back of the franchise record of 11.
That happened.
Of course.
Gloria.
Gloria.
But you know what?
We're done with them.
I don't get.
We've shifted our focus.
We've shifted our focus.
How did the out of town score?
What?
for you.
To the Minnesota wild.
Oh, that is the flames.
Tide, who cares?
They play the wild.
Oh,
head to head.
That's the key.
Yeah, and the blues haven't lost since
Jesus was a child.
You guys are so intimidated by good teams.
Your chicken shit.
It's not,
it's head to head.
If they played the blues,
these will kick your ass.
That's how you have to play.
If they played the blues,
we'd be focused on the blues,
but that's a proverbial four point game.
That's science.
That's science.
Minnesota's lost in overtime.
back-to-back games of blues of one 10 in a row it's so one team's got the mold you're both crazy
jack let's grab a drink let's get out of here you have to focus on where you're headed it doesn't
matter which team we don't have to shift anything folk 95 95 95 how we getting there let's do that
again yeah let's take a look at the schedule one more time and i thought utah was a win we're
going to have to adjust if anyone wants to get drunk with me today you have to come down and i'll
start drinking cowboy pale ale right there people down they'll be here in droves they'll be standing outside of
It's a block party, yeah.
Jack will buy pizzas.
Okay, so if memory serves, when we did this last, that game against the Utah's,
you had that as a win.
So as you know, Dean, things come and go.
Yeah.
Things come and go.
Let's do our win, loss, OTSO game.
And I'm this evening.
Win.
All right.
7.30?
Oh, for price sakes.
And sorry to all the viewers that have to be subjected to two of the lowest scoring teams of the NHL.
This is a national game, I believe.
That's why it's 730.
I was going to ask, where do the ducks rank in scoring?
They sit 25th, which is surprisingly low.
Their special teams are horses.
They're a power play is only better than the Islanders end of list.
It's an atrocious 12.6%.
The Islanders exist in this league.
It's kind of a flamesy model.
They have a great goal.
I don't like this model.
Ducks Power Play 31st.
Their PK is 28th.
The problem with the Islanders or Flames approach is that you'd never trust that you're that good.
You might sneak in and you're out, right?
I've been saying for years, Dean, I want a proverbial.
You ever heard that word?
Proverbial cup contender.
That's what I need in my backyard in my new rink that I'm going to have.
Let's get a couple years to get.
All right.
Winslosses, win tonight, Dean.
Anaheim, Vick 3.
I got it in the win column.
Vegas on Saturday.
They're pretty good.
Do they play Friday?
Jack.
They probably play tonight.
They were at home to Edmonton two nights ago.
Friday's the fourth.
They don't play tomorrow.
There's only three games.
Damn.
O.T lost.
They lost.
They lost at home to the Oilers.
O.T.
We're going to get a point.
Okay.
they're coming in, rested.
They're on.
They're overlooking us.
They're looking at house tonight.
They play the Jets tonight.
JETs tonight.
JETs.
So they're fired up with the Jets because the jets are real good.
And they're at home.
They're not in Winnipeg.
They're still getting the vitamin D.
They'll be forgetting about us on Saturday.
So what's your pick?
I did.
O.T.
loss.
Okay.
Single point.
Good point.
Off to San Jose on Monday.
You like late starts.
I got a treat for you at 8.30.
8.30.
I love that.
That's great.
Way to go.
San Jose.
Jack,
we pulling on an all night or Monday?
Sleep on the couch.
San Jose with your shitty airport.
That's closed.
So after the game,
you got to rush out of there.
That's right.
Jerks.
By the time afterburners.
You have to have a win.
You have to beat San Jose.
It's a,
it's a Bogotty on the seventh and the ninth team.
That's back to back victories on the road.
So that's a 301 so far.
Great start.
Yeah.
Then the proverbial four pointer.
I hope it's a bagotty by the time next Friday rolls around.
That's what I'm trying to dial out.
That's what we're,
let this be a monster.
They'll be clues.
Like if I had our studio is playing, it's not a bigotty.
Yeah.
Talk to us a week from today.
Next on the 10th there, we'll know.
Yeah.
Wild flames.
Friday night, 8 o'clock at the dome.
I'm going.
I'm going to see if there's tickets.
I need to know your answer.
Let's do that after the time.
Jack, grab a coin.
Coin.
And flip it.
It does feel like an overtime game.
It feels like a.
single or right extra so is are they winning or they uh i gave them the Vegas win i have to give
him the OT loss okay three oh and two it's been a good week gosh there how many five for a team that's
uh one two and one in their last four okay anyway three to go three to go san Jose again i feel like
this is a fall flat game sunday night love your six p.m sunday start too don't you
Minnesota was very good took a lot emotional
Yeah. At home, let's go.
We're still in a show.
Shocks are feeling loose and giddy about the end of the season.
Regulation or extra loss.
Okay.
Then it's Vegas again.
When?
They have to.
Really.
And Vegas might be wrapped up by then to be.
Yes.
They'll be a nice little question on second.
Okay.
And then the Los Angeles Kings.
This would be Bagotty 14.
Yeah, this is another.
Godi potential.
I think the Kings will have it.
This is the problem again.
Are the kings?
They might be playing for home ice with the oilers in the two three.
That's the only thing that's left for them to fight for.
And Cozmanco's just going to be flying around.
Oh, he is too.
Stinking by field.
That's a tough game.
Give me an OT loss, Dean.
All right.
Wow, what a run.
Four, one, and three.
11 points.
11 points.
93.
Let's add that.
Son, no, boss.
Brett.
93?
God.
Do your math again.
And so just for the record,
the blues and wild would only need two wins in their last six each to get to 93.
And the wild beat us.
Yeah,
they got tie breaks on us.
This exercise.
Math just takes the fun out of.
I always hated math theme.
Me too.
Stupid math.
Anyone do math 30 here?
I feel like that was the most tapped out course in the history of Alberta academics.
Oh,
that you guys would have been in SaaS.
I don't even know if you did grade 12.
I did dash 3 math 30.
Dash 3.
It's not.
For idiots.
Yeah,
that is.
You have to wear a helmet.
We've drilled plates.
We've done this.
We've been doing this for two weeks.
And not once have you been able to get us to 95.
And it's not like he's a hard market here.
The wins and the losses.
That's a very favorable, favorable projection.
That's a one of a finish.
401 and three.
Four one and three is a hell.
of a run.
Hmm.
Now, what if we just switch the Minnesota to a reg win?
Well, that's big.
It's 94.
I said 95.
I said 95.
Now the wild half can't win more than two.
And they can't go to overtime that night because then they'd have
a freak I used to.
Yeah.
It's uphill climb fellas.
What if we switch Vegas and make them long?
I think the math.
Yeah.
You know, you know the switch.
The shell game move.
Well, this here.
Does it take this.
93.
Damn. Okay. So instead of the wind, go here. 93.
The one that really would help sway things, if you had just stubbed your toe tonight, I'm ready to bury them.
Oh, for Christ. Or if you don't. I'm not saying they're going to, but that would make it really easy.
You basically have to run the table and you're at 93 still. I think beat Utah once out of three games.
Yeah, you could have done that. The Blues in St. Louis, Rhett, you said it's got damage.
There was plenty of opportunity. Conray didn't make a trade. I mean, there's all kinds of blame to be had.
trade you got a fair bean for us we talked about it's center 25 real center house goals
school scoring oh very low they are second to the bottom yeah but they've got guys in the miners
that are lighting it up not yet no but next year they'll have guys in the miners that hopefully
light it up hopefully oh these guys go on there you'll have uh
bash a grinned and soonia have in the miners draft to develop
i don't know i'm yelling that out but draft to develop and you know what it's we're always fixated
on where they're going to pick and what the number of the pick is just draft and develop
Who was that?
Did you talk about Dallas?
Somebody was talking about Hartley.
What?
Harley.
Oh, Thomas Harley.
Yeah.
Bob Hartley, no.
Where did Thomas Harley?
Jack,
where did Harley get drafted?
18.
18.
He was a second, wasn't he?
No.
Or no, late first.
Yeah.
18.
Because yeah, I went through.
How about that?
Do that pick.
That's what you need to be the Dallas stars.
Yeah, or the Washington's.
You're not picking top five or top.
And when you do, you hit home runs.
But.
Wyatt Johnston.
late first.
Ruppet Hintz, second.
Thomas Harley, late.
Norm MacDonald.
Late first.
I mean, Lecombe.
I love that.
The case is so good.
Hey, yeah, you know, I.
Hey.
So my doctor.
My wife is in a horrible coma.
So, yeah, Flames third from the bottom.
Is that what that for goals?
Goals for.
Not great.
See, and Pinders still has this unfounded faith that they're going to plummet in the
stand.
No, no.
The reason I was laughing is we've spent literally hours.
Every freaking week of the season.
But just hours this year at this table, which needs to be replaced badly before it falls on us.
It just needs some screws.
About finish bottom 10, get high picks.
You need to pick top five.
And then Pinder just throws out the, you know, at the end of it, it doesn't matter where you pick.
Just draft it developed.
No, no.
I mean, look, it's easier.
F that up.
I'm going to move past that.
We're oversimplifying.
I absolutely would love them to have a top five pick this year.
I'd love them to have their own first rounder this year.
But again, if you just want to be really good at mining guys at 20 or over Jersey picks and 27 or over Florida picks, awesome.
It's just way harder to do than hitting home runs, one, two, three, four, five, six, on and on.
You have to have someone in every draft make an impact.
Yeah.
And last year's draft class was an excellent one.
I know we don't want to give anyone flowers before they arrive, but a year, less than a year out,
most of the guys that you've seen them select
have had really, really good years
that have exceeded expectations.
What does it mean in the NHL level?
Nothing yet, but it's a really good start.
I know.
And it's not like the Nashville year.
That draft class is not doing those things.
That draft class is.
F and terrible and everyone knew it right away.
It was a joke.
It was an odd selection,
but it's not necessarily in stone
that it's not a player.
Gabe Perot signed yesterday.
That was tough.
Yeah, that's tough.
And then there's that flip side.
If you trade your first,
what could you?
gotten, right?
That you never know as we
can't trade it first, don't trade it first.
Keep draft to develop and then why is that
guy signing, depressing?
Because Gabe Perrault set the U.S.
National Development team scoring record and
was best player available
by some guys when the flame
stepped up and selected Sam Hansik, who
was a late birthday injury
riddled, not sure if he's a center or not.
I think he could still be a good
middle six winger in the NHL, but the ship
has sailed to be a star in my opinion.
in the center. No, but it was going to be our big
Anzacopato.
Sure. So how far
was that draft?
I understand.
Oh, and he was thrown in the
fucking towel.
I mean, I had a star in. Jack,
Gerger.
He could be a good winger
on the second or third line.
I don't feel your
truth or faith in that comment,
Ryan. Usually there's more passion
when you have a... We were there.
I remember talking to Dean, like, and he's like,
you hate this, because I'm like, honestly, I don't know anything about this kid.
I just saw all these names sliding.
We didn't think the flames were going to be able to pick.
And I haven't watched Hansik's film.
I don't know anything about him.
Guys in my curve, like, ah, he's in a really good season.
But it just seemed like there was more risk than you needed to inherit that.
Mark's having a great year.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Kids.
I have the video.
I can wound up sometimes about stupid things when you try to be smarter than everyone else.
It was the video from not the draft floor, but the immediate area.
Yeah.
That's like, so Ryan got the camera, thoughts on the pick.
I don't know who this is.
And we knew he was a guy that could go in the first.
It just wasn't a guy you'd considered in the top 16.
I think they picked 16 that.
So that's not trying to be.
Well, no, look, they just might as all their scouts are,
I don't think they're saying, let's go genius brain and, you know,
really show everyone how smart.
I think they might just really like the kid.
They really like the kid.
he had a lot of viewings with him and he said he went to like a bunch of times in live where he put
the team on his team this year now you guys hate him not hating him i just want expectations to be realistic
i don't think he's going to be a top two center in the n hl horseshit picked him this has changed
from the start of the year where you were saying this is a bad pick and you were trying to defend
him well he had a great pent sacked and he made the team he probably shouldn't know he'd be down right
away and he was and he's been hurt again so it's a third season in a row that he's missed significant
time with multiple injuries.
I just don't like,
you don't wish for a kid to
do poorly.
I'd love him to be a powerful
puck protecting 25 goal winger.
That's still a really nice piece.
You don't wish for?
Is your organization to do,
oh,
we're going to outsmart some people
and take this guy because he's going to.
Do you think that's what they're saying?
Well,
of course I'm not saying it,
Ryan,
but they clearly fucking believed it
because they took them.
Yeah,
so maybe they just made a mistake
or the guys been injured.
But that's the point.
Don't make that mistake.
Pick the fucking best player.
Yeah.
And what is he if he hasn't lost half of each last two seasons?
We'll never know.
But I don't necessarily think it means you're trying to outsmart someone.
You just thought he was the best guy and you were wrong.
Like there is that possibility that just in their room,
they thought this guy.
I think that's exactly.
It was highest on their board.
Not that they're.
Of course it's not.
I'm smarter than you.
It's a poor decision.
At this,
if you had to grade it now, yeah.
Yes.
And look, like Jackson Lecombe.
Who has done?
Now, they've been better lately.
In the course of history.
Yeah.
Of NHL drafting.
Yeah.
Who's done worse?
Oh, they're not.
All the way along.
They had Fox, Kachuk, and Dubay in the same draft class.
That's recent.
No.
Go back to the 90s.
Yeah, well, yeah.
And the other thing, too, is, the other thing, too, is, okay, so Trilving comes in his GM.
His first year, he's got someone else's scouting staff.
then he's got his own guys and it's his drafts where you start to see him take less burkey players.
I don't hold anyone accountable.
I'm literally exactly trying to hold people to get out what I'm saying is.
You're saying that it's not his fault because it wasn't his staff.
No, what I'm saying is that the Connie in his second draft probably had much more
comfortability with the scouts and the players and the style of player he wants than he did in his first.
And if you just blanket statement and say the flames are awful at drafting,
it's it misses a lot of really, really good draft classes like last summers and like the last summers is nothing.
They've done nothing.
Right.
But the draft nerds that fall this love that draft class.
And it may well be.
Yeah.
But I don't think you can bring it in now.
No,
I'm not saying you got X NHL.
A year ago,
you were saying Sam Hansick was going to be more impactful.
I think we thought he would be a full-time NHL.
You were hoping you'd be a center.
No one was sure he was a top.
What it was is just it was, is that it's pretty.
mature.
Yes.
Were we saying the same,
what were our thoughts on?
Connor Zeri.
Yeah.
When he was a year and change after his draft.
He was a lost cause.
He'd been hurt.
We didn't know.
We were like,
this guy's a,
he's a non-event.
It's a lost prospect.
And then he makes the team.
I don't,
I don't even know if we had an opinion to be honest.
Because he was so relevant.
Because he was hurt and the whole thing.
And when they drafted Hansick,
and again,
I'm not here to defend the pick,
but they understood this was more of a project than a ready to play guy.
It's a big pro body,
but there was a lot of teaching.
and learning that.
But you're doing that,
then you better have a damn good plan of how and why he's going to get to be on
Zay Kopitar.
That's part of the problem.
I just don't like,
why are you drafting projects in round one?
Yes.
Do that later.
And that was kind of why the Gabe Perot thing came up,
because that's the furthest thing from you.
It's 16.
You're in the middle of round one.
Yeah.
Don't get,
don't get cute.
Don't get cute.
Yeah.
And look,
maybe he's a,
he is a guy that takes some time.
we see it all the time.
We just raved with him taking time.
We just raved about Jackson LeCole.
You say it better than I've said it.
You don't pick a project then.
Not when your team doesn't have enough of anything.
And then the other side of it is I was in love with the stats that Gabe Perot had and I texted
multiple people in front offices.
They're like, I just don't know that it's going to translate at the pro level and it probably
will.
But there was a lot of doubt around him even though the numbers were allowed.
We don't know what he is.
Yeah.
We just have to be patient.
and we want to grade things immediately
and a year out, things look good on this draft class
and two years it might not look good.
All you can know is that a year out,
the grades are good for last summer.
It means nothing for this squad right now,
but it could be a really, really good draft class.
My fear for Hansik and what you're saying,
and it's probably true, is that stupidly,
I thought he was going to be a big centerman.
And if he's not that, I think you've right,
that alone makes it.
And we asked Connie on the floor,
because he had a media avail rate.
There's the bleachers of the media sit.
And then there's the GM tables and there's the draped little, you know,
waste high fence.
And we,
it was you and me and I think probably Steinberg and Vickers ran the whole scrum with Connie.
He didn't want to say he was a center.
He was hopeful that maybe he could be.
He didn't want to project when the guy was going to be ready.
And he didn't want to give a player comp.
And that's fine.
But it just tells you that this,
there is an intriguing tool of skills.
They're hopeful that they didn't want to curse him with saying he's on Zekopatat.
Yeah, I think what they, even if it's not a center, someone in that Miko ranton and vain.
Big, strong, moose type, hard to defend.
Yeah, maybe 30, not 50, but yeah, right?
Yeah.
And look, look at the game's missed.
That's the part of the story we'll never know.
He has not played like half a season, basically, with the Giants,
less than half a season last year, hardly played in the NHL the beginning of this year and missed a bunch of time with injury again.
It's three years in a row with significant injuries.
that sucks because that's why we gave up hope on zari he was a non-event in the system
and a year later made the team and was awesome when he didn't make the team he came up for the outdoor
after the outdoor game they put him with cadre of possible so last year and you're like holy
shit sometimes you just have to be patient and let a guy get healthy and then he's hurt again yeah
we don't know we really don't know they didn't have a first rounder click on that draft
in 2020 come on hockey gods look on that draft class come on hockey gods in 2020
Their top two picks were Stromgren and Coronado.
Yeah, the other way around in Coronado looks great.
The year prior, Zeri and Kuznetsov.
Zeri, very good, Kuznetsov.
Looks like a serviceable third parish guy potentially.
Not amazing, but a piece.
The year prior, Jake Peltze and didn't have a second.
Helps you get Frost, Fairby, okay.
Not nothing.
2018, no first, second or third rounder.
They took Pospisal in round four.
That's a great pick.
for round four.
2017,
Yuso Valamaki,
Adam Rizchka,
their top two picks.
And Valemaki will never
know injuries again.
Could have been a great pick.
He looked awesome
in that playoff series
against Colorado for a rookie.
Now we're back to 2016.
And you're talking about a Berkjik.
Yeah, but 2016,
these should be the guys.
Well, this is.
Wait for this one.
Yeah, it was Kachuk,
Tyler Parsons,
Dylan, Dubay,
Adam Fox.
Parsons' issues.
Yep.
Dubay issues,
but played.
Adam Fox as a Norris.
Chuck has a cup.
Yeah, you got a top 10 defenseman
and a top 10 winger in the same draft class.
That theoretically could have set you up for a decade.
It's just, you know,
Adam Fox said he was comfy signing anywhere,
and then he wasn't after two dominant years of college.
Keep going, Dean, you love this.
No, it's, I mean,
then you're into the burkey stuff and it gets bad.
It's the Hunter Smiths and Schillington,
Mandra Panney from 2015, Bennett at four.
That's good class.
Mangulate, nice.
They're not the worst draft team.
in the NHL. They're not certainly the best.
I would put them firmly
in the middle third of the league in draft.
Once you get out of the 90s,
the 90s were an absolute train wreck. They were the worst.
Who's the worst?
That's a good question.
I don't know.
Oilers have been pretty cool.
You should build an app for that team. I know, yeah.
But there are guys that do this
and, you know, like Byron Bader's
in Calgary, he's got Hockey prospecting.com
and those are the guys
where when I say it's a good draft class,
I'm not looking at...
How much does it cost?
to like bump up your kids stock
with fire. Cut him a check, yeah.
Yeah, what's his NHL? Facts him a check.
Yeah, facts of a check. Yeah.
Well, I don't know how we got there necessarily,
but it's the ducks and flames tonight.
We've done the math.
And 93, squinting for 94.
Hey, I said 93. Yeah.
What is, what did the blues say?
I said 95. You said 95.
Yeah, they've since lost the game,
and we've now got them up to 94, which is nice.
Did we get them in 94?
Wow.
Yeah, how did you get there?
There was an extra point there.
And we took one away from Minnesota.
Not an extra time.
I switched them around.
Yeah.
Good stuff.
Am I too harsh?
My, my Hansick?
No, I just, I only sort of object when you say they're trying to be smarter than everyone because I don't think they were trying to.
But it just looks like a pretty mediocre pick, right?
So how should I describe it?
A mediocre pick.
So how do you end up with like other, if there's a guy?
If you were, I mean, one way to do it would be to find the central scouting ranks from who got picked after.
What is it?
2019.
But in terms of were they going off the board?
Where did they have?
You guys were there.
Did it feel like an off the board?
I think people expected them to go around.
You were in Nashville.
Yeah.
You're big into stat nerd stuff.
I was, you're big into the draft.
You were dialed in on it
And you didn't know who the fucking guy was
No, I knew he was I didn't think he'd be picked at 60
I thought he was a 20 guy
Like 20 to 24 was a spot that I think a lot of places had him
I'll go look at the rankings and stuff here
Because I think I can find them I think
That constitutes because I trust you
And you're brilliant
And off the board pick
I was watching it home and it was
Here's the scouting report from his draft class
Give me 30 seconds
Rare is a shift when Hans' ability to protect
detect the puck does not appear.
The 6'4 winger gets and keeps defenders on his back check using body position to create
offense instead of just brute force.
He plays with a ton of finesse.
Like there's a lot to like about the player.
He just hasn't been healthy.
And I don't, he's never really been a center guy.
He's a big hold it on the boards, puck control winger.
Well, that's how the game's played now.
It's kind of like Slavkowski a bit, but obviously a lesser version.
That's really one over a raving.
He's been good this year.
His first overall.
in a bad class,
better than Shane Wright,
I think at this point, right?
I wasn't comparing him to Shane Wright.
Yeah,
well,
that's who they had to compare with when they made the pick.
It was like Kim or what,
Cooley was the other guy there?
But it's hard when you,
we're really off the rails.
So when you're having this conversation about when,
how do you get good players,
how this,
that?
What if he's Logan,
John,
or Wyatt Johnston?
Yeah,
what if he's all written?
Well,
and the other part of it is like,
you had another first runner since then.
it'd be tough to be lower stock on Zane Perrect than when they drafted him at nine.
Like he's had a phenomenal season.
He's going to play next year.
What do you mean lower stock on?
Like you have to be happier.
If you did a redraft that he'd probably not there at nine because he's had such a great year.
Now that might be in two years, maybe it's not that case, but one year out, tiny sample.
He looks like a guy you shouldn't be able to get in the nine.
You don't see all I put up 107 points in that league ever, never mind the nine pick.
Which is fine.
Yeah.
There's a lot of guys on that same list that amounted to nothing.
I just until until we're five years out from that from a draft class I don't think he can even talk that is the most reasonable way to grade these things and all I'm saying is yeah five year
we talk about where are you going to finish top 10 you got to get a draft 16th overall is not a shit pick that's get a player if you want to look at top 10 of that get a player at 16 yeah and if if that that that is a potential cornerstone of your franchise how you look at Dallas if that's take away your rupe here
or you're Wyatt Johnston or you're Thomas Harley.
Get one of those guys.
And you didn't.
So you're a year behind.
Well,
you're a year behind.
You're comparing yourself to one of the top three draft and developed clubs in the league and you're not.
But no,
if you are going to rebuild,
if you're going to use these draft picks and you have staff and this is what you're
in the business of doing and you've squanded a first round pick if this guy doesn't play.
Yeah, I'd agree with that.
Yep.
And you're a couple years out.
And right now, the jury is very much out.
Yeah, which happens a lot at 16 in the first round, believe it or not.
Like you could look at the last five, I bet you there's a couple just like them.
Like five after San Pennett.
You want to say there's that you shouldn't have any pressure and you should never actually have to succeed and you shouldn't make.
Of course, I'm not saying that.
You are saying that it's fine that they have foot up.
I think people think you get stars at 16 when that's the outlier.
If you look at the last, say, 10 draft classes, I bet you there's two or three.
three studs and then some role players.
I'm not saying star.
I'm saying how.
So if he's a guy.
So if he's a 25.
Like a star means you're up for the heart trophy.
You're,
or you can talk 10.
Be a top 20 score in the league.
But you realize that like the league's full of guys from last 15 draft
classes and it's 16 and one draft class.
You're asking for a top 20 player at 16.
That's wild.
Yeah.
I have a harder time with it, man.
You really let them.
I'm not letting anyone.
You really let them off the hook on this stuff.
It actually reinforces my point of its way,
it's really easy to miss in 16.
It's much harder to miss top five, top 10, right?
Like, we understand the lower you pick,
the easier it is to miss.
That's not something that people don't understand.
But again, that simplifies things is the saying that if you're not in the top five,
you're going to fuck it up and don't just flip a court.
We're being very binary here.
It's clearly a scale.
The lower you pick,
the harder it is to hit home runs.
And so when we have conversations midseason about trading Rasmus Anderson,
that's why I'm so much in favor of it,
not because I don't like the player because I do.
Not because I don't think he's captain material.
We've done this stance so many times.
We understand finishing lower, gets you a higher pick, a higher pick.
A higher, get it.
And now you're crushing me that they didn't hit out 16.
16 is not, there are a lot of teams that get good players.
And there's a lot that means at 16, too.
That's my point.
Okay.
So that's why you need to bottom out, not retool.
So the only way.
Not the only way.
Not the only way.
Not Dallas's way.
The only way is, but that's, you can't, you have 17 balls in the air.
I'm just saying it's not binary.
This is all on escape.
And yes, 20 minutes ago, you said it's not so much where you pick, just draft and develop.
Now you're saying it's, you did.
No, I'm saying drafting, developing is crucial to any team.
Yes, I know what you're saying.
Washington does it in the 20s, Dallas does it in the teens.
The flames, I like Zary in the 20s.
I certainly didn't like Greg Nemis in the 20s.
Like, they aren't the best at it.
Wow, the problem with the zary pick and it's not a problem where I love the kid.
Don't be injured.
It was COVID.
You don't know anything about it.
That was a tough draft class.
They did well there.
And they think they traded back twice to get them, didn't they?
That was a nice play.
They think we can get them later.
But again, yeah, I don't ever want my argument to be like,
it's so simple.
Here's how you do it.
It's just that you need to make smart bets like splitting aces,
like, you know, when the dealer flip six, you don't chase 21.
You just hold.
Just make smart bets.
And the smarter bets are easier to make higher up the board.
It's not complex.
You guys get this.
I'm not saying if they're,
They're just bad.
It's over.
Plan the parade route in the new rank.
Yay, we're champs.
That's not it at all.
But like Michael Dal Cole, someone thought was a star at four.
One pick after Sam Bennett.
Two picks earlier is Leon Drysettle.
Changes the course of your franchise.
They're two picks apart.
The best people in the world are at these drafts.
They make mistakes all the time.
It's a really hard thing to do to project a 17-year-old as a 25-old man.
Rashma, Danny said it best.
Any dummy could run an organization.
some days it feels like that quote i quote i'm quote he did say you were gone we did i'm
from new orleans ahead of the super bowl he was on and again we'll move on because it's
painful for me to listen to i can imagine other people if if we feel like this is a flames team
that isn't going to bottom out for whatever reasons goal tending coaching sure decent talent
yeah then you have you're going to have to get some good players in that 15 to 20
probably range can i yes can i throw a scenario right you
or look at trading your first.
I don't know.
Yeah.
So let me throw us an area.
Let's say you move Rasmus this summer and you look at the class and you're like,
this is the Gavin McKenna year.
Maybe we don't replace Rasmus in free agency.
Don't resign them.
And maybe we just say if there's a year to step back,
it would be this one and the next one because of the two crown jewels at the top in McKenna and DuPont.
Would you be okay with that?
or do you still think, like, you can't do it, you're not bad enough?
I don't think you're bad.
Because Boston's going to pick top four.
Like, that's wild.
If it's today, they picked four.
Coupled with, and we talked about it, there's no burgeoning talent waiting to come in next year.
That's my.
I mean, Zane Perrick is, looks like he's on a different level.
You know, Bristavich looks like, you know, but there's no, man, we're going to graduate
some of the top scores from the American hockey league.
We've got some animals that are ready.
It could be, we said the same thing this year, but it could be a tough year next year.
And that's kind of why I think, you know, if they get aggressive in free agency, it could be a huge mistake.
Like if they're like, okay, we need a left shot, D man, we need scoring, let's go give too much money to guys with term.
That's the conversation with noodles yesterday was what's the owner want?
Yeah.
He sees it's this close.
And you can't just.
I don't know.
We thought they'd be shitty this year.
Yeah.
And they weren't.
Correct.
I don't believe they're going to be better next year,
but I don't know that even if you trade Anderson,
that everything completely falls.
Like you say all the time,
you're not playing with 5D.
You get to play,
you're going to replace him in some way,
shape,
or form.
And the player may not be to that level,
but you're going to have somebody.
And as a collective,
you're not completely going to fall apart,
depending on who,
depending on who it is.
If you bring,
and who's netsov in but if you go to you get a guy on free agency pay him three or whatever
like the man the just some kind of a serviceable NHL guy and that's saying the owner's cool with that
yeah go ahead and strip it down a little bit let's see what happens so if we took a time machine
and we went back to like October 1 today and we looked at the Boston Bruins we all would have
have them in or on the bubble in the east that's the fourth worst team in the NHL this year
with one of the best,
they totally have.
But my point is,
I think that's a much better roster
to start the year than the Flames had.
And they have the elite goalie who's just having an off year.
What is this team with an off year
from Dustin Wolf?
I think you're cherry picking that one.
Of course they can.
Yeah.
And so,
of course it's possible.
I don't think it's the most likely.
Wolf could break his leg too.
So.
Please don't.
Right?
Like, I just,
I don't know that that's the likelihood.
And I know this is exhausting,
but these are the conversations I see Flameson's
having all the time.
Because you can squint and say, I could see us somehow be in the 7-8 seed.
I just don't see anyone seeing this collection of players amounting to a cup contender.
So how do you build that?
That's the greatest challenge.
And that's why this topic keeps coming up.
Because how in the world do you build a cup champion starting at this?
Then I think Connie dropped the ball.
And I'm not trying to.
Connie and I are friends.
I love what Connie's doing.
But if that's your belief in your philosophy on things.
this trade deadline was a missed opportunity then as far as unloading guys because you had guys that were probably if we missed the playoffs they're a year older and they're not as good next year and they might not perform as good and if and if you don't come out of the gates and stay in the playoff hunt these guys motivation level is going to be lower making it even more difficult to get rid of them and you've missed and i think probably at the trade deadline there some of the guys on the flame are some of the guys on the flame are some of the guys on the flame are
would have been, if they were available, could have been moved.
I think all those opportunities remain in the summer,
but I agree big picture, it would have been a good time to sell because guys are playing well.
But you couldn't do it.
Sharon Govich can certainly bounce back.
Zeri can stay healthy.
Coronado can continue to develop.
But outside of that, just looking at their top scores, it's very conceivable to think
that Cadre, Hubertoe, Coleman, Backlman.
What's an year-over-year production?
I'm not excited.
Coles are down, but he's at a great year.
And he's been playing with Miramatov and,
Yeah, but last year he was on.
Did he have weight?
Did he have 20 goals?
That's why he's been their best defense on a mile this year.
Why not trade him?
Could, but I think Anderson's right there in the deal's up.
So it's just more pressing.
If you switch your contractual status, we're absolutely talking about trading
Weger, not Anderson, right?
Well, if you're talking about bottom out wanting to get McKenna and DuPont thing.
Or one of the two, yeah, or just give yourself a good cut of them.
McKenzie Weger's 31.
Yeah.
I that's exactly the only difference i think he's slowing down his foot speed's not he's never been a smooth skater he's a grinder and you appreciate what he does but is he geo where you're gonna have eight more years of production he's not one in norris the 35th never like never played more than this no he's averaging 24 a night he's not the problem but if you wanted the bottom out that's the guy you move over both yeah problem is it who you playing pereck with jesus you can't throw him to the wolves yeah you pahal
No, and you can't.
Sometimes you've got to grind out these contracts and let them go to where they, you know what I mean?
There's one year left on Beckland, there's two years left on Coleman, and we expect that those guys plus Huberto plus Weger, that's your leadership group.
Cadre, I would put in there up stuff that I do think you could move him.
He's been that good.
This is not Bogotty Day talk.
It's not a baguadie.
This is not biggest game of the year.
No, no.
Game day helmets on talk.
You have to distract.
from the stress situation.
Do you remember the Monty Python skit to bring out your dead?
That's us right now.
We're pretending we're not dead.
Yeah.
Yeah, that math you did earlier, Dean, that kind of got me.
It hits you, hey?
Because you were kind of, we've done it now numerous.
You know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to be, I got to go rose-colored glass.
Yeah, half full.
What?
Four, one and three.
Sorry.
No.
One regulation loss.
What?
Mm.
You play Vegas twice, L.A. and L.A.
Minnesota fighting for their lives.
Yeah, one regulation loss.
Yeah.
That's as rosy as it gets.
They're still not getting it.
Damn it.
But my math's bad.
It is.
There is that saving grace.
We could place some stock in that.
Oh, hey guys, the, let me tell you.
Let me tell you about it.
The big share contest is back.
It's in full swing.
It's your chance to win a million dollars just by saving money with service credit union.
Every $500 that you save gives you five entries into the big share contest.
This contest ends on April 30th of 2025.
Skill test required.
For all the rules, for all the stipulations and details,
go to service.ca.
Slash win, there's RRSPs, GICs, TFS,
all of that.
All the letters.
Get your paychecks automatically deposited into your service account.
That's bonus entries.
Many different ways to do it.
And if you've been hearing us talk about it for the last number of weeks
and you haven't done it yet, time's ticking.
Service S-E-R-V-U-S-A-S-A-S-W-A-S-W-W-N for all the details.
And you could be a million dollars richer, courtesy of service credit union.
We can do that topic for 18 hours a day every day.
I know.
And I know you're exhausted about it, but I do tell you.
It's what everyone wants to know.
How do you turn the script a new contender?
It's not easy.
It is a complicated schmazel.
I'm pretty sure we'll do it again like next week to the week after and then a whole bunch.
You want to restart?
You want to restart?
We start now.
But just to go, and again, I'm not dragging us back in.
but everybody wants the team to be better.
Yeah.
That's what's that.
And regardless,
if it feels like we're picking on Hansick.
Wow.
That's a year.
That's a year.
That could have been one good player moving forward.
Maybe it's your third line center.
Maybe it's a second line winger.
Maybe it's pharabee or Frost.
It's a guy who's on your team.
And if he can't.
I still think you will be,
but it's going to take some time.
He's missed so much time.
It's going to be a pro.
It feels like that's buying you time too, right?
This is what I say to the kids in the dressing room after tough losses, too.
Just remember boys and girls.
The other team wants to win too.
Really?
So all these other teams are trying to pick good players and they're not going to leave the good ones for you at 16.
Hey, the flames need a number one center.
This guy, Craig?
Okay, we won't take that.
We love him.
You call Chicago.
You're not allowed to take Higgins.
Higgins is a center.
That's our guy.
He's coming to us at 16.
Lane.
Lane's really neat.
I'm such a good guy.
Yeah.
And just the one final bow on it,
2027 is the new rink.
If we focus on that,
I think you'll make fewer mistakes.
Shift your focus.
That's right.
I think that's a stupid,
ridiculous approach.
I don't really care about the building.
Just be good at some point.
Like,
I'm going to be upset if they go to the finals
next year into Saddle Doe.
If they can go to the finals next year,
that's awesome.
Right.
What I mean is don't go chasing it for next year
convincing yourself this is a really good team
that just need was one guy. You don't have to chase anything.
You have to stick to your plan and understand
what you're doing and execute.
And that's why I say 2027, whether it's
2027 or 20. Give yourself a few years.
If it's 2030, I guess that's what it is.
And I would think if
you put them all in the room, let's be honest,
they know what they are. I think that's true.
It's not like the coach thinks they're one thing in the GMs.
We need more skill. Yes, we do.
They all would be.
We are second to what?
20 million.
Five on five scoring.
Only Nashville has fewer goals scored at even strength than us.
What the age?
We need more skill.
We need more scoring.
And like you said,
going back again,
it's not like we're really strong on D's.
Let's focus on.
Outside of the net,
I suppose,
you wingers,
centers,
D,
left, right,
get better.
You got room to improve pretty much everywhere.
Everywhere.
And the most declaring of all the holes is your center position because you have a 37-year-old and a 36-year-old that are your top two centers next year.
I had something smart to say, but I forget.
Should have got Dylan Cousins.
What would they want?
What would they want from you?
Well, first.
Perick.
What did they end up getting?
Josh Norris, which is crazy.
But he's a center at least.
They were trading a center.
My thought is Buffalo needed a good young center back.
They don't have one here.
Maybe they needed a veteran center.
maybe.
Maybe they do this.
Maybe they do this summer.
Codry.
How long is the drive from London to Buffalo?
Poor, poor Godry fans.
They're just like every day these guys are fine ways to trade.
We like what Codry's done when he's engaged, but I don't trust that.
Father time, man, that's the fear.
It's nothing to do with Nazim.
It's everything to do with father time.
Four years left after this one.
Damn, I wish I could remember what I was going to say.
It was real good, dear.
I'd rather you tell me about Bontan because you got your
I had bond on my kid, young Billy Bob.
He raved about the steak so much.
And then he had the gall he was making.
Now, this is spoiled, right?
Oh, yeah.
When you got those big, thick plays.
Yes.
And your 13-year-old decides to take two of them.
And then he slices them up and makes himself a big old steak sandwich.
Then he reaches across for the third.
steak and just eats it off the fork that hurts my heart that these are real good oh really really you
like those yeah you like this premium triple a alberda beef if you went to a restaurant this would
cost like a hundred and twenty dollar meal you had right you just had like a four hundred
dollar restaurant meal you'd like it huh glad to hear yeah yeah enjoy let's work on those grades son
you're gonna eat some cash to eat like this race you're because it was last way i think we had
drags on it last Friday and you showed the list
of the ground pork, ground
meat, ground turkey, roasts.
New York strips today, boys.
Did you really? Did you
have to make some
did you have to rummage around
in your deep freezes to find room for it all?
The deep freeze looks so good. How big is your deep freeze?
How many deep freeze? I got two. I got the stand-up
one and the chest one.
But I was, I was thinking about this just
the other day. And he put extra
bacon in a potato salad last week. I guarantee.
He always does. He's a little.
No guarantees he'll do that for everyone.
For Rett guarantee.
Yeah.
Summer's coming.
It's the time because you know what it's like.
You get busy in summers.
What are we doing for that?
Oh, it's barbecue.
Yeah, let's,
that's put certain.
You're going to make a burger out of a box.
Get the out of here.
We got a box.
There's six of these, uh,
briquettes.
Don't be fooled.
We got some grilling weather coming up quick.
I know it's cold today.
This weekend is looking like it's a good.
It's a good start at grill season.
And you do it right because I find myself.
And it's just how, how much ground beef are we make it.
Well, that's not enough.
And this is made special order.
I need X, I need a pound and a half or whatever.
Get it.
Oh, you get two pounds.
I always get it figured out.
And then fill that deep freeze.
So then when it's like, hey, are we cooked?
What do we?
People are coming.
Oh, yeah, get some.
When you get those boxes of burgers out of the deep freeze and then it's like, well,
it's covered in ice, just leave it out and let it.
And then it's kind of got that whiteish.
Yeah.
Ream on it.
Freezer burn.
not of bontan life's too short for that have your freezer full of bontan and just be ready oh wait
people are coming over for stakes perfect i got the best stakes in the world downstairs salt and pepper
black and seasoning whatever you want can i give you a guarantee for monday rats wearing shorts 17 degrees
now it's calgary and it's 40s i might go speedo i'm doing it flames win their next couple games
do you grill in a speedo are you worried oh i'm always
always struck.
So,
let's pry it off here,
conversation.
What?
How much meat do you get in your,
your pack of ground beef?
Two pounds per pack.
So when you take one out of the freezer,
let a thaw you.
And I always take out two.
And your children are mutants.
But do you get a package as one pounders or does he package them two?
Two pound packs.
What do you do with a pound?
It's a do,
what are you going to do with a pound?
Nothing.
So that's for you.
Yeah.
No one else is eating.
So two pound.
Ground beef.
What do you do with the ground turkey?
The shoveler, and you won't like it, makes it.
So turkey burgers, I make unbelievable turkey burgers.
And the shoveler makes this turkey meatloaf.
I can eat it once a week.
I know you don't like meatloaf.
Well, I don't know that I've ever really.
It is next level.
We do bowls.
You get rice on the bottom, sliced an avocado, maybe a little pineapple or something, turkey in there.
Sounds awful.
about my wife well i know i hear you that's not because you had you were getting a bunch
yeah that's all you use it that's what i do with the ground turkey i don't like it in tacos and
burgers meatloat yeah if you can mix it in there and you're almost trying to hide it
burgers are trust just a straight up turkey burger i will make you a turkey burger and you will be
content to eat that as your burger the rest of your life okay and the pork are you mixing it in
with your ground beef for murders?
Meatballs.
He's a pro on this stuff.
Meatballs.
I used to blend the beef
and the pork.
Yes.
F that.
Really?
Pork.
All pork?
All pork meatballs.
Oh, kidding.
It's a huge development.
And then I put,
I make like a slurry,
I'll call it.
The breadcrumbs, the egg,
seasoning,
and milk.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
What do you do with it?
Go full screen jack,
Jack, please? That's all right. One more time for us. So is that in a bowl or is, it doesn't matter.
Sorry, I just looked away one more time. And heavy garlic. I like a lot of garlic in my meatball, Jack.
Yeah. Dad's in the kitchen throwing pork around. You know, the only saving grace for me, actually, now that I think about this.
And see the bond-tawn meat thing. That's got to be Greg, I think. Thank God. I live in the other end of town.
Yeah.
Greg's just thinking about open a location.
Can you imagine the relationship I would have to have if I was like a five minute saunter?
I said it the other day how you don't have your own parking spot, a VIP spot on the side is red carpet right where he gets out of the driver's side door.
Listen, then I wouldn't need my freezer, I guess, if I lived close.
But man, my consumption.
This is the thing.
And it sounds like we're just, that's the way to do it.
Get your freezer set up.
Big load.
because then
when you're short on time
what do we do I don't know
you're ordering in crap
or you're eating crap
what are we what processed
pre-made pizza out of the deep
freeze are we grabbing
this full screeners again
yeah jack look at this
that does look at press be like red
sergeant slaughter what are you looking at
right
bontan meat market 28 crowfoot circle
I'm putting it together
I'm waiting for the press
release from Bontan be like we're excited for the grand opening of our second location
Rhett Warner's driveway. He's lobbied for it. He's an idea guy. Greg is like, I don't know if I could,
I'm not sure that would work. We're missing a lot of fillets.
Philly Bob! Right, we had an order of a thousand pounds of meat. We're missing a red Yeti
cooler and 40 fillets. I wasn't even at that argument. Couldn't have been me.
Coming up, we're going to get our
Safeway picks in.
Safeway, NHL, my NHL picks contest.
It's Thursday.
Time for another week.
Candy bracket.
We are like 24 hours away.
I know.
Our final.
It's crazy.
Get in a vote.
Rock the vote.
But it is time for the Pinder report.
Oh, yes.
I think they're still doing the, uh,
they're still buying your car.
They're still buying your cars up there.
Yep.
Saw it on the internet.
Pre-owned vehicle.
Even if you don't buy theirs, they want to buy yours.
If it's a lease, you have to turn into another dealership.
Don't do it until you talk to Village First.
They're going to appraise your vehicle and you might be surprised with what you get there.
They want it.
Payment within 24 hours.
If you get a deal done, stress free, they do all the work.
Begin the appraisal process online at VillageHonda.com.
They present the Pinda report.
Fellas, it is Flames game day.
It's an odd day in April.
Get used to it.
Buckle up.
We're doing this to the 17th.
Flames?
Yep.
There's Coronado.
He's had a great year, boys.
He really has.
Really happy with Matt.
20 goals already and feels like he's become one of the go-to guys.
Not to the cadre level this year,
but if you were to say someone off this team in two years,
who's their best player, not named Wolf,
I might pick this guy.
He's been great.
I don't know what you put in.
Look at this team.
Look at the forwards.
He's a plus four.
No one else is.
How?
Weiger is a plus 13.
Pelchay doesn't play here anymore.
How is Weiger plus 13?
My God, he's been carrying Hanley and Miramato.
I, that's what I tell you.
If you gave him a real top pair defense?
No, it's not how it works.
It's a lot of times he's out there with a guy that's got glasses and a fake mustache
masquerading as an NHL defenseman.
That's who I was.
I was digging into the nerd numbers.
Are you in the NHLPA?
I guess I am.
Don't pass me the puck, please.
Fuck.
Back to you, wigs.
Big side of you.
No, no, no. No, no. You, you. On the website, Flamization.com. A lot's going on, including the signing of third rounder.
Hey, Arsumnia. He was a Penticton, right? He was a Penticton to Vee for two years. He came because things got weird during COVID, and then there was a Russian invasion and Ukraine and then paperwork got weird in the U.S. U-Mass given shoutouts. Look at that. The upset Minnesota.
and Jimmy Snuggar.
What a name.
Jimmy Snooka?
Jimmy.
From the top rope,
it's a superopla.
There he is.
Look at this kid.
That's quite a quaff.
It has got a good, good flow on him.
Tick.
Now where did he get the,
or is he here?
That's it.
That's at 555.5.
Soutalum Rally's those pitchers from the Calgary Flames.
His team was eliminated last weekend.
They got the deal done.
They're burning the first year this year,
which used to be a big thing.
I actually think it's a thing.
What do we think about 36?
Do we like it?
It's an odd number,
but I,
feel like if he gets to the NHL and becomes impactful,
he can pick any number he wants.
Look at the route, this guy.
So he's born in Kazan, Russia,
comes over as a teenager to play in Ontario,
went to the States for a bit,
it didn't work with the paperwork and the geopolitical stuff.
He had nothing to do with.
He played in Thorold?
Thorold.
Greater Ontario.
Is that your hockey league?
I believe.
Is it Harold?
Buffalo Junior Sabers have a squad in that league.
It's terrible.
Two championship seasons in Penthouse.
in, which is the norm. The 45 goals
and 50 games, his draft year was huge. This was the
third rounder they got. It was their own pick back from
New Jersey in the Tofoli deal.
So it's Ariegor and
Sunniyev for Tofoli, when all said
and done. And two really
good years in
hockey east. 20 goals this year,
it's not on the DB page. I'm going to say it's
not. That's as many as Matt
Coronado had, his sophomore season
before coming. OMG, Dean.
OMG. And more helpers for Sunniyev as well.
He also scored the OT winner as they rallied with a
SM, FMH,
LMH,
LMNOP.
This is his head coach of Pantikton,
Fred Harbenson,
his club lining up to play
Okotokin around one of the BCHL playoffs.
Sunnev was serious as a heart attack
when he was here.
Every day he was preparing like it was game seven for him.
Even on Sundays, when we had days off,
he would be in, stretching,
and stick him.
This is a worker, boys.
Don't take it too serious.
I like it.
Have some fun.
Don't go full zegris.
It's just a game, good.
It's just a game.
yourself don't let ret train them in the summer i'll screw that i would be great i'm going to go into
that business too i'm going to be an agent trainer doing a lot really let's go energy and a scout
energy but also coach world class podcast that too for sure when does that start next stay tuned
after i do my training right uh shit doesn't just happen only as good as yeah yeah you're right i would
expect we see
Sunneyev once
sooner than later
soon as they're eliminated or feel like they're out
you'll see them but not until that
who's eliminated the flames
we figured that math round one two
when what are we talking guys got to sit around for a long
time I guess totally he's going to be a black ace
and go play for the other team he cannot
if he had signed an ATO and not
burned year one he could have gone to the wranglers
head butt me because I can't understand
You can't be a gym.
You have to be an AGM.
Someone head but me.
I'll fix things.
Schedule.
We showed you the April every other day.
We walked through it with Dino.
Just a quick glance.
It is Anaheim at home tonight.
The first of a two-game homestand.
Vegas comes wheeling in on Saturday.
They just lost to the Oilers in a close one.
A lot of Anaheim, a lot of San Jose, a lot of Vegas.
That's six of their last eight games.
And who knows?
Thursday, the 17th of April.
5, 6, 7, 8.
9, 10, 11, 12.
I get that one mixed up with,
is it the ladybug's picnic?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
and they all played games at the ladybugs picnic.
I don't know that one.
It's terrible.
But that was the other one.
1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12.
Yeah, hey, hey, healthy.
What are you watching over there, Judge?
I'm making polls.
Yeah, only fans?
pole ski poles no polish people freak get into that a poll
dwindusky what you're polling youtube polls he's interacting with our audience our live audience
in the present time today not from the future of the past
shift your focus shift your focus west standings let's go wild and blues in a dead heat
for the wild cards back to back overtime losses for the wild including one on broadway
last night the blues have won 10 in a row it's
the longest winning streak and franchise history
outside of the 11 in a row on route to the cup
and that incredible was it 2018?
I'm going to say 17 16.
Gloria.
They'd be Boston that year, right?
Yes.
Came back in that series.
They're down three, too.
That would have been a tough one for Boston.
Because that was the Bennington storyline at Four Nations.
The final was in Boston.
He'd won an elimination winner take all game in Boston before,
game seven with the Blues.
And then, of course, with Canada.
Kick this again!
For the Kachshman on their media tour for finishing seconds.
Yeah.
That's going to be tough if they win next year.
It's a bit of a backpack until then, if not.
It was a good win for Canada.
We needed one given the parlance of our times, which doesn't make sense, but we'll keep moving.
It's a line from the Lubowski.
Eastern Conference standings, actually, you know, that Atlantic Division is going to be fun to the end.
Last night, Toronto beats Florida.
All of a sudden, our old Paltree has got a first place team with an X beside it atop the best division in hockey.
I'm telling you, there's something that just feels different.
Are you giving him credit?
or does he inherit?
Oh, he drafted Matthews,
Neil and or Marner, didn't he?
What are you talking about?
That said, he did make some interesting ads.
They've really liked the Boston defender Carlo there,
who the flames were unusually linked to before the deadline.
Is that who got punched in the face?
He did get in the scrap the other night, yeah.
Metro, just set it and forget it.
We'll revisit later.
All we're watching is Obie goals.
Was there much of fights last night?
Yes.
Yes.
Do you have a favorite?
If you tell Jack, we can add it later.
later.
But Tilt you want to say.
No, it was, it was a lot of 50 cups at the end because Carolina hung one on the caps.
And then it got dirty.
There's a lot of Pims late.
Chatsfield.
Yes,
we do have that.
We do that.
Hang on.
So don't,
don't spoil it.
We've got Chatfield in the McCoys.
Yeah.
Hmm.
The two birds.
What do the Anaheim Ducks look like?
Well, they're not on our standings board.
So they're in the bottom 10 of the league.
See my name in the mark you like.
Why does this keep happening?
happening to me.
That's all right.
We'll just skip it and get back to it.
You got it?
Let's do it.
Yeah, there's some good young players here.
There's also some veteran guys.
But the future is Gochay, Carlson, McTavish.
And on the back end, break out year for Lacombe, we've talked about Olin Zellwiger.
That Calangelo is a recent high pick or higher.
It's one of their picks.
And he's a young kid.
Yeah.
And then Annette Lucas Dostala has had a monster year.
Our boy, friend of the show, Jeff Glass, worked with him for a few years in San Diego,
raves about the kids.
He's an unbelievable human.
Lacombe Zolwiger, Minchikov in the back end have been very good as well, all youngsters.
What's up, Jeff?
That's the ex-habilb.
I can hear him breathing.
Are you having some software issues?
No.
Oh.
We're good.
There's a young player in the Calgary Ranglers that's putting up some serious numbers and
is playing center, but nobody wants him on the big club.
What?
His name.
Rory Karrans.
Yeah, we hate him.
Rorries.
Do we not like Rourys?
Is it kind of Randy territory for names or no?
I don't mind Rourys.
I don't feel like I know enough Rory's.
I feel like they were just pretty pabble.
Nothing much to them.
The Rory's.
Take him or leave him.
Two goals to assist last night.
And yes,
the first star of the American League last night.
He is a sneaky on the score sheet all the time.
Stat sheet probably better than the ISO cam.
He just somehow finds a way to get points all the time.
I was worried about the high scores of the A.
I kind of like the ISO cam, though.
I'd like him to look good.
I don't mean that negatively, but there's been a long history of really high scoring forwards,
the play in the HL.
Don't you Matthew Phillips me today, all right?
I can't do it.
Crash Davis.
Is that what this guy is?
Quad,
A.
31 goals,
57 points, 57 games.
It's nice.
It's only 22, guys.
I'm happy,
come on up and score,
kid.
Have a great off season.
Get your ass in peak shape and win a job next year.
Oh, is he out of shape?
It's not in shape.
But yeah, that's the point.
There's the, that's the kind of research we need from you.
That is the stupid stupid.
If Rory Karen's taken strays,
you are a backhand.
Two helpers and pinders calling me fat.
You are a backhanded bastard where you just.
He's not in shape.
Not out.
Smack him right back down.
He's shape.
Not in, not out.
Oh.
Kind of like Rasmus in his draft year, fellas.
It's not his draft year.
He's leading a team.
So have a great summer is what I'm saying.
That is sort of the knock from first goes.
Mix it in a salad is what Pinder said.
They want the conditioning a little bit.
Is he a beer drinker?
I don't know his deal.
I love the player.
He had four points in five games with the big club guys and they didn't keep him.
What the hell's going on here?
Quote from Barnburner.
Sit-ups are free.
Ryan Pinder.
Rory's going to punch you in the mouth.
I like her.
I'd like to see him back up.
He did very well when he was up.
Sit up?
That's you, not me.
sit up quote dean mulberg
you got your beard
flex mulberg I did yeah I got haircut too
gross uh this is the fight
we're talking about late stages between the hurricanes
and the capitals who also run a collision course
in that division for the playoffs

going to see a suspension or fine i imagine probably fine yeah they were shooting the old dukes
shoot in the old dukes jack find us some duke shooting and old uh old tom willison
right in the middle of it.
Jalen's stepping up for Tom.
That's a big boy.
Jalen?
Chatfield.
Sticking up for him?
Engaging fisticuffs with a very tough guy.
Standing up to him.
That's, yeah.
Insert very be like.
NHL tonight.
What do we got for the slate?
Some good ones.
Let's hope so.
Did you talk about what else happened in that game?
Ovechkin, of course.
Right.
Apologies.
Let's backtrack.
My apologies, Jack.
Thank you, Dean.
It's happening.
Even in games that they look completely lost, Ovi still scores goals because Ovi is the greatest goal score that's ever lived.
Here we go.
Power play.
Weird.
One, he's on his office.
Right shot is on the left side.
Oh.
Weird.
Now, that might work.
I'd keep doing that if I'm the cabs.
I think he meant to shoot that one low because lots of times he shoots it high.
I just don't know which does he mean to shoot it anywhere.
I don't question anything.
Rip it.
Rip it.
And it's moving.
It's a perfect spot.
How old is he?
39.
Like he should be at the Crowchild twin at 945.
Yeah, he's at Ernie Star.
And he's right there.
He's got bears tonight.
Oh!
How many goals you think he has from that exact spot?
It's like a third of his 8901.
Go through all the goals and find that out.
It's what makes it.
amazing. It's like a, it's like a fireball pitcher. Here it comes. Here comes the heat. Hit it if you can.
You know it's coming. Here's my best. Go get it. Eraldus Chapman. He's 39. He turns 40, September 17th.
39. There's mama bear. It's kids now like six or seven. He's on the glass or all these games.
And yes, they've fueled the jet. It's Gary. It's Wayne. It's the entourage. Every game they go to,
the PJ follows three away from breaking, two from time. Here's a. Here's a
cool one from David Amber.
Gretzky's 894 happened in
1487 games.
Ovi's too shy in games played
and goals. I remember when that started
to materialize. It was like, don't look now, but there's
a chance. Not only the record. Even the games.
Yeah. He might be able to
to nip it. So if he scores two his next game, he
will have got Gretzky's total in one game fewer.
Or if he goes goalless or one goal in his next two games,
Gretzky will still have fewer games. I think we all get that.
Yeah, thanks, right.
Math's tough sometimes.
And what are they got?
Just looking here, when's their next game?
Tonight, home to Chicago.
No, sorry.
Tomorrow.
Friday night, home to Chicago.
Not in Chicago.
Okay.
Because I knew there was talk about if he was won away,
would you pull him for the third and try to get it on home ice?
Because they got, they've said when Wayne did it,
I don't know if you remembered.
It's a fog.
I'm not sure if I would have seen it.
I would have seen highlights of it.
But how was there?
They stopped the game.
The team came on the ice.
They have the same plans.
Gary will be there, obviously.
Ovi's family, Wayne.
If it's 10 seconds into the first or it's tying the game with 10 seconds left,
no matter what, they are stopping the game to honor him because that's what they did with Wayne.
I don't see, I don't know if I want it.
What?
In game, if you're always.
The stopping.
He's worth it.
I think so, too.
I think big pitcher over the first.
course of 20 years.
Like we had the Marlowe thing.
It's like,
oh,
you just kept playing.
This is a major accomplishment.
He missed 16 games with a busted leg and is still going to hit 42 goals this year.
That is absolutely bleeping insane.
Yeah.
At 39,
the season he's having.
In circumstance,
I know.
But a big picture.
You want to,
if you want to show your grandkids one day,
Alex Ovechkin,
him scoring that goal and him being honored on the ice is going to mean more than,
ah,
it was tied.
That killed the momentum of the game.
You're going to show the goal.
you're going to show this celebration.
You're not going to watch the speeches.
No, but my point is that the bench will empty.
Yeah, that's fine.
Yeah.
I'm saying I don't need to watch Betman and Wayne, and they will, and it's fine.
I was just, my personal opinion would be, let him enjoy it with his teammates for however long you have to.
I don't.
You hope it's within a minute or two of an interview.
I don't get Gary fucking Betman.
Sorry.
He has 66 points in 59 games.
That's why.
It's so it's not just.
Empty netters and, I mean, there's a few.
There's probably some cherry picking here and there.
For a while.
He isn't an empty netter and a few.
But do it.
Yeah, it's Chicago and it's at home.
And you know Carberry would love to get this thing out of the way and have a week or so to.
I don't even think that's just.
I don't disagree with you, but I don't even think they're thinking about it.
Like my kid the other day, we were watching.
Really?
And he was like, I don't think it's a focal point because it's a foregone conclusion that it's going to happen.
Okay.
Right?
Yeah.
Yeah, if it gets to two games left and he's still two-way, I think, yeah.
Well, what difference does it make if he gets this year and next?
Like, it's going to happen.
Would you like it to end?
Sure, right now?
Why not?
But do you think that Alex of Etchkins not scoring next year if he has to go, like?
I just can't see him going the rest of the way without a couple more.
I'm not.
I'm just saying that I don't think.
What's the guy's name?
Spencer Carberry.
Has any, he's, go play.
Great.
They are, like, we watched him play the flames.
and they used him very interestingly.
Like the full two minute power plays I get,
but then it was like three minute shifts with empty nets.
So like I think Spencer would like to be done with that
and actually play like a play.
Like we got four games to the playoffs.
Let's play like we're going to play in the playoffs.
Because they're kind of cherry picking his ice.
Are they going to change things?
Yeah.
And they just got their doors blown off by a division arrival last night.
So we'll see.
Well, and you know what?
The other part.
So who's when this happens?
Who's taking it from him?
If Matthews could stay healthy,
it'd say him.
Leon's got a chance.
That's about it.
Like I don't got to just be so good so long.
So good for so long.
Because that's, I don't even know what,
would leave, where's Leon now compared to where Ovi was at that point?
Because remember, he started scoring immediately.
Yeah.
I wouldn't say he's tracking, but I'm, I'd say that we, we never know how guys are going to age.
50 to even get into the conversation.
It's wild.
It's such a huge number.
The health and the longevity thing is the biggest thing.
You're halfway.
Yeah.
10 years of 50.
Oh, you're half way.
And this guy, remember, he was mobile, good skater moving around.
Some of these guys, I don't sure Leon's got another 10, 12 in them.
I'll say this, watching Ovi at 25, there was no way I thought he'd be an impactful in HLR at 37, 37, 38.
35, he played too hard.
Yeah, and he hit everything and the off seasons.
It looks like he absolutely threw it out.
Yeah, you know what he did right?
He took the off seasons and enjoyed them.
You had the red play out?
He did not beat up his body doing squats.
actually I'm not going to go to the All-Star game.
I'll be swimming with dolphins in Portova, your time.
Yeah.
You can suspend me for a game, that's fine.
I'm going to rub some white-colored liquor on my body for a few weeks.
Quick math.
Leon is at 400 when he scores his next, and he's already 29.
So you'd have to score 50 a year for 10 years.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, you don't know.
You can do it.
Oh, you could get a 60 goals.
Yeah, like we don't appreciate what is what this is.
That's been.
We've become accustomed to watching things that should be impossible.
Like a 39-year-old scoring 40 goals after missing a month and a half with a broken leg.
That's insane.
We shall move.
Schedule tonight.
Washington is one of the games that is on the slate.
Where are the Washington's in Chicago?
Tomorrow.
That's right.
I'm sorry.
It's a tomorrow game.
Boston Montreal.
That is the opposite ends of the spectrum on the, how are we doing against expectations?
Boston, fourth worst in the league.
Habs are the feel good team of the NHL
outside of St. Louis right now.
Marty St. Louis?
Big game.
Marty?
There's lots of good stories.
Lane Hudson.
In the conversation?
Jack Adam.
I think it's a Carberry
Eveson race, but I could add St. Louis
if he makes the playoffs.
Where's episode?
Columbus.
That's a huge.
Why is he there and not?
Well, whichever team gets in.
Only one of those teams.
So Talk, it's not going to go back.
to back.
I don't think Tocke has it this year.
It sounds like it won in November last year.
Not feeling the same Mo this year.
A huge game, Tampa, Ottawa.
Tampa can still win the Atlantic.
Ottawa bit of speed wobbles here.
They lost a Buffalo twice in the last week.
Nudles was telling us yesterday.
And yeah, we'll see if the Blues can win their 11th in a row.
They got Jack's penguins who,
I don't have a fucking clue with this team, Jack.
What the hell is happening tonight here?
I think the penguins end the streak.
I'm shifting my focus.
Add boy, Jeff.
Shift it.
Shift.
And the late good game would be Vegas hosting Winnipeg.
Winnipeg's been just okay lately.
And those are two division leaders.
They've got to be kicking the feet up a little bit.
It's hard not to, right?
I don't want to say human nature because they'll get mad.
I'll punch you.
It's a professional athlete.
Not humans.
We will go to the Calgary Hitman.
They are through, Rhett, your speech.
You got to work on it.
I'm sorry.
I thought it was a good one.
Four F six.
You caught myself there.
Well done.
Four is right. It's a sweep. Four and O.
That's the mark the hitman, Kerry.
Their big boys were big last night. I think three points are Kindled.
Yakum check on the score sheet. They haven't even used their number one goal yet.
Houser's been out.
They swept them with their backup.
It's a pretty good team that will be watching here this spring in Calgary.
It looks like they'll get Lethbridge boys, but settle down in Lathbridge.
One more win to go.
And then if it all played out, we're favorites to win the whole way, which, you know,
seven-game series and it's hockey.
But Medicine at Calgary would be an incredible series that would have to be the
Eastern Conference final, the last two teams standing on this on this board.
That would be tons of fun.
McKenna's pretty good too, hey?
You see what he's doing?
No.
I want you to read that for me.
Oh, but Gavin McKenna has 15 points and four playoff games.
Is that good?
He's doing good, Dean.
15 and 4.
Four.
He has 12 goals and 35 points in his last eight.
What?
Oh, that sounds like that's wrong.
12 goals and 35 points in eight games.
Average that out, Ryan.
Four and a half points a game.
That's pretty good.
Wow.
And a 44 game point streak.
Oh, he's piled up 115.
44 in a row?
That's correct.
And 115 points in those 44 games.
You might want to tank for this kid if you're one of those teams next year.
Wow.
Not draft eligible, Dean.
Sorry, kid.
You ever wait another year.
You know what?
it's your parents fault.
You shouldn't have been mating then.
Thank you.
Thank you for his parents.
Hey, I was going to go for a bike ride.
Nope.
Get in the basement.
We put some mattresses against the walls.
Keeps you.
You said a thousand a day.
You're at 948.
Get back down there.
Draft is just over a year.
You're not going out.
No one's coming over.
I just wanted to, can I go to the
Sev and get a slip?
Nope, we'll get it brought in for you.
Here's some kale.
on this. You're our lottery ticket. You're going nowhere. Yeah. Honestly, he could do
four-stop season of all time to still be a star. That's a hundred million dollar lottery ticket.
At least. Yeah. Incredible. Can we buy insurance on him? That's a good question. Can you buy insurance
on a 17-year-old played in the Western League? I'm not sure. Okay. How that works. I think
Messing Hat would like some. Okay. Let's move.
Alvary FC, re-signed their leading score and the golden boot winner from last season.
That's Tobias Warsheski.
He was a gentleman.
He was excellent.
He had a big goal in the championship game.
He says, since day one being at the club, I knew this is the place I wanted to be.
I'm very comfortable here.
I want to celebrate even more success with everyone that has grown close to my heart.
Toby.
Every time I hear Toby, I think of the office.
Okay.
And just how Corel hated Toby.
Do we have a pitcher of Toby's mug?
We'll see if he's like her.
hateable is the office character which to think we got a toby picture it's a good kid how do you know
he's a met him huh i met him he knows him i don't say no but a friend of the show interacted
our buddy i mean my buddy toby we uh we were backpacking through us are we just waiting for a picture
no we're fine we don't need the picture yeah do we have what do we care we're focused people this
i've got a top five charles barclay for you but it's probably you could make a hundred top fives that
TNT panel is the best in sports.
They're already stealing
Rogers' lunch money with
the NHL broadcast, but the best of the best
is Barkley and Shaq
and Ernie, the Hulk, or Kenny as well.
Five memorable
Barley's, Barclays for Boomer.
I got two words for you.
Steve Nash and Chris Paul
must see TV.
That's more than two words. You just said
two words. You said quick to the point.
You just said I got two words.
Steve Nash and Chris Paul
That's why I messed up because I was trying to think of two words.
I could have said that.
Okay.
Nash and Paul.
That's three words.
Who do they mistake you for?
I went to arrest.
No, I went to a risk.
That was really good.
Dude, I'll try anything to play the basketball game.
That's good to hear.
Hey, dude, I put that stuff they put in horses, I had them sticking to me a couple times.
Say, hey.
Probably didn't need to go that far.
That's how I'm called DMSO.
Oh, yeah.
Disappointed noise.
Where they going, Chuck?
Gaviston.
That dirty-ass water.
They're not even going to be, we're not even going to sit in the cancun.
We're going to sit there to Gaviston.
With that dirty-ass water be washed up on the shore, you people think they're in the beach.
Y'all are located, y'all, we're going to sit y'all to cancun.
Y'all drive y'all and you'll quit.
Drive your ass down to Gaveston.
I got this person from a guy in the steam room back in Arizona.
You got a question.
Talk about.
Hey, we were talking.
I spent on a nice bracelet.
I never seen it before.
Whatever your name is,
thank you for my braces.
See, why he's the best is he's,
I'm going to put myself under the bus
because I know it's funny and it's entertaining
and I can take a joke and it's worth it.
So many guys, well, we can't.
Oh, we must not my cat.
Oh, hey, ho.
Like you can see there when he saw,
I got this bra.
He knew he was going to get it.
right into it.
The best.
Have fun.
Enjoy yourself.
Have a laugh.
There's some stuffy,
suit filled politically correct
sports analysis.
That's the best show on TV.
People should copy that.
How we get lots of that?
Lots too much.
I'd say.
Okay.
Wrette was telling us about flying cars.
Remember how disappointment we were that piece of S
vehicle that flew like a lot?
It was flying.
This is what Rhett was talking about.
This is in China.
These are one.
person autonomous vehicles that fly.
This is the flying car.
I was talking about.
Look at these things.
I want to fly it though.
It's flying me.
Or not let you.
They're not letting you for Jersey.
That must be.
Remember they had the big thing down in the States?
China.
The drones.
Those are big drones.
Look at that.
You've been for two.
Two cedar.
Why not?
Can you imagine?
Yeah.
Cruising everyone on the deer foot and they're looking up at you.
You're going, yeah.
Suck it, loser.
We need these at Richmond.
So we can get all piled up and then it just drops
you in your backyard. I imagine if you had
one of these, how drunk you'd be all the time.
Yes. Because I feel like the only thing
keeping you sober is because you have to
be places. It's true. I was
very well-behaved to riches. I would have loved to get
Blotto and climb in one of these things. Right,
you were right. Flying cars. There you go. What's that
segment called again? I told you guys. I told you so.
I told you so. I like that one. Yeah.
I told you so. We've also, the three of us
because we all have many, many, many
male descendants. I think
amongst us we have like
eight offspring, seven or male that we're allowed to talk about.
Why men don't live as long as well?
Why boys are dumb.
Good example here.
Horrible video quality, but explain what we're watching here.
There's a tree rope.
Jump into the lake.
And now a second guy, every time it comes back, another guy is jumping.
That first guy's got some real strength.
So grip, only getting to get better.
Tag and wrap your legs.
Wrap your legs.
this is so dumb
this is peak male exists
this is the stupidest male thing
all the girlfriends
are sitting on the beach
drinking shatis
they're so dumb
they're just dumb
some solid pelvic floor
work there
look at this
they're still doing you
oh
oh
they are
I can say
I'll tell you
call it
right up to whoever
tied the rope knot
on the tree
and the tree itself
I'm waiting for the rope
this is unbelievable
I can't hang on that.
There we are.
Good work, men.
What an accomplishment.
See,
I was going to say,
does that make us bad
because we're sad here,
we're impressed by it?
What in the problem?
It makes us men.
So where is,
yeah,
okay.
Every female watching that is like,
they're complete morons.
And every dude's like,
that's kind of sweet.
Good job,
boys.
Did you hear about Rhett got in a little bit of a mix-up at,
he was ordering a sandwich the other day?
Did you,
so Rhett was out having a sandwich.
God,
I don't know how sober he was, but he was very specific.
Here we go.
I just want a couple more pickles.
There's barely any on there.
I just want more pickles.
I just want more pickles, miss.
There's barely any on there.
You guys are exaggerating.
I don't understand.
I just want pickles.
But pickles are my favorite.
Are you unemployed or something?
I am unemployed.
This is that.
You really?
Really?
Yeah.
I just want more pickles.
I don't understand.
Yeah.
Go to the fucking store and buy some there.
But I just want more pickles on my sandwich.
Jack.
Pickles are good.
You like it, right?
No.
The rope swing was all me.
Roep swings is an accomplishment.
This is just so.
I would knock this guy out.
Joker,
videotaping himself,
say,
I want more pickles.
That was you last night.
When you have to put a,
I was,
I was,
a rat,
you were all having a sandwich.
A red was.
having some pickles.
If there was a fight in the subway there, absolutely, it might be worth watching.
But having some guy tape himself say, I want more pickles, it's not humor.
So again, Jack, you don't see these because it's just done on the fly right before the show.
Correct.
Pinder goes, do we need dumb shit?
Yes.
Then I go find dumb shit.
You should say no.
Well, he doesn't see it.
That's the thing.
No, but he asks, do we need more dump?
No.
It's not the Jack report.
I want to put more pickles.
I added more pickles.
That's your Pinned report on a Thursday.
Let me have a Diablo sandwich, Dr. Pepper, make it fast.
I'm in a goddamn hurry.
That's right.
Village Honda.
Do you beep the F words?
No.
Damn it.
He's really trying to not swear,
and then every day he comes in with some hot F bombs.
He's probably leading the season count to F bombs.
I won't argue that point.
Only the blinds shut.
It puts me to sleep.
Only five days a week.
Yeah.
Thank you, no hockey.
Play Safeway.
My NHL picks weekly for your chance to win big prizes,
like a trip for four to a 2025 NHL season opener of your choice.
Today is Thursday.
That means it's time for another round.
New Slate of Games opens up every Thursday on the Safeway app.
All the games for the coming week are listed.
You need to go in, predict the winners of five matchups.
Each correct pick gets you an entry into the grand prize draw.
there's scene points up for grabs, bonus entries, grocery offers,
but you need to get the app, Safeway app, and start playing.
Now, last week, combined eight and two.
We're getting some points.
The shovelers in this week.
Nice.
Good.
Okay, I sent one in.
You sent one in?
Yeah, there's a lot.
Jack doesn't play, doesn't join the fun.
He's just doing Steelers mock drafts.
Is this me?
I believe this is me.
Yeah.
So I got the Habs to beat the Bruins because they're terrible.
Habs.
Needs, need wins.
Sure do.
Dallas is good.
Nashville isn't.
Washington at Chicago.
OVy.
Let's go.
It's not at Chicago.
It's at home.
That's that game we were talking about.
Home's on the left.
I should do this.
Dallas v. Pittsburgh and then Carolina,
Boston.
So I'm hoping that Boston continues to stink as much as,
you know,
Carolina and Montreal are good.
Is Nashville the most forgotten team in the league this year?
It kind of feels like it.
I kind of think could be more irrelevant right now,
because at least when you're watching like the ducks and the sharks,
you're like, look at these great young players.
My God.
And they were a story at the start of the year with Marsha So and Stamco's.
Yeah, they were a Stanley Cup favorite.
That's a cautionary tale for a lot of gyms.
You make the team with a plucky young roster.
You like your goalie.
You've got a star on the blue line.
We don't score a ton.
Let's go add some offense.
They added two 40 goal scores from last year.
And they're the last place team in the league for goals and a total disaster.
That's guys.
Yeah, they got old.
It did, but it was 40 last year each.
That's wild.
Where they were before.
Yeah, not on this team.
That's true.
All right.
Good picks, Dean.
Thanks.
Who's next?
I also have Dallas winning in Nashville.
Like the Oilers beating the Shucks.
And then Washington, Chicago,
Obey Night with you there,
with you on Dallas against Pittsburgh.
Hey, look at our light.
A lot overlap there, Dino.
That's our, just tell Jack to call Sullivan and stop screwing.
things up. Tank gets
another player. Stop winning games. We need
Dallas to beat him on Saturday. Jack,
you can do that? Call. Solon. Sully?
No.
It's dealing with Mike Tom. Good picks, Ryan.
Good picks, Dean. Good pick. Schubler.
Oh.
Shoveler. Walk us through the rest. A lot less
overlap. I don't know what these are. These are the
shovelers. Not mine. I don't have nothing to do.
Likes the abs on the road. Lues of
one a billion in a row. Seems like a good
pick. Also likes the stars with the
Preds, all three of us there.
No one likes the Preds.
I think more importantly, as good as the stars are,
we think Nashville stinks.
Yes.
Kings on the road against Utah and the Oilers
against the Shacks as well.
There you go.
I have to give a shit about this oiler stuff.
So there you have it.
That's how it works.
It's that easy.
Getting in, you could do it tomorrow,
but you'll be minus the Thursday slate.
If you do it Saturday, you'll have minus the Thursday and Friday
slate.
You're going to want to get on that OV in Chicago.
Yeah.
It may not give you the best.
It just gives you more options.
It gives you a lot of options.
Download the Safeway app and start playing today.
And you could win the grand prize of a trip for forward to a 2025 NHL season opener of your choice with Safeway My NHL picks.
How about it?
Tomorrow big, now I guess a couple of things.
Let's start with the good news.
Tomorrow, the bracket.
Candy bracket.
We're going to get down to the championship.
23 hours.
to close the voting.
Unbelievable.
There it is.
People are talking about it
everywhere I go.
So do you think Fuzzy Peaches
has a chance?
A lot of buzz?
That's a tough matchup for me.
It really is.
I was back and forth
and back and forth.
I think I know which way I'm going,
but I'm kind of like,
Rhett,
I've got to dip my toe back in,
had firsthand experiences
with all four this week.
They have changed my tune
a little bit.
I'll say this.
You bring it in the proper cola bottles has really changed a lot of voting.
I've heard people saying,
mm-hmm,
that's a game changer.
Yeah.
I might have swayed there.
That's a huge difference.
I'll ask you again, Jack.
Yesterday you said these were a couple of dog fights that they were very close.
Has there,
has anyone stretched their lead at all?
One of them is starting to pull away.
Okay.
And the other one is a dog fight.
23 hours, rock the vote.
How do we vote, Jack?
Go to flamesnation.
dot CA?
No.
Hey.
Could.
I scroll through about 90 articles.
You what?
I couldn't get my article out.
He's going to have one for the final next week.
Don't worry.
Right out of time or.
Yeah, it's like I got stuck writing it, you know?
Writer's block.
You don't need to write an article.
Just give people the place to go and vote.
There's plenty of links.
Link in the chat.
Link in the description.
Everywhere you get the show.
F word.
so we're because of an article
we can put an article up today that's fine i can do an article right now
do you want to write an article right well it's a little late i know how you wrote it
it's in a show description so where to show description chat instagram twitter facebook
it's freaking everywhere we all get that though it was not to go and read about it
it was to go i i think i want you to go vote but i don't don't just listen jack doesn't do f all around here
so if he's trying to put in a little work, let him.
Good job, Jack.
By Jackman, it feels like he's not getting the work done.
You're just being negative team.
He's doing a lot of work.
I guess so.
It's working.
It's just not finished.
He's an idea guy.
Yeah.
I work with a few of them.
Got a lot.
A lot idea guys around here.
Tomorrow, 11 a.m.
We'll have winners.
Someone's going to get punched right in face.
Class of the Titans tomorrow.
Wow.
Start square, like tail of the tape, sizing up the matchup.
It's almost too much.
I know the Masters is the following weekend.
That's why we're getting this one out of the way.
Yeah.
Oh,
brought to you by Crystal Waters, Plumbing and Heating and Handsome Dan's Vacation
Rennels, Handsomedands.com.
com.com.
Asiae is the website.
I feel like I need a little.
You should get some R&R.
You're going to love Vancouver.
I could not believe you.
You've never been?
Never been.
Oh, man.
No.
It is awesome.
Zoomies, skinny it up in the ocean.
God, it's good stuff.
Huge trees.
Yeah.
Tripping balls.
Huge trees.
The swing.
Zumbies.
You could do the tree.
There's a crab in my hand, man, man.
All things I love.
Yeah.
All things that I love.
So there you go.
And of course, there's handsome dad.
And of course, our buddies,
I had crystal waters plumbing and heating.
How would you have you kayaked?
Because I saw a kayak.
I've done a minor amount of kayaking.
Kayak.
But it is nice.
Do you prefer canoe or kayak?
Can you canoe?
It's easier to get in and out of.
Oh, boy, they're both down.
Can I can.
It's different, right?
Can you canoe?
Yeah, I feel like there's a lot of,
because I cano.
Can you can't?
What's just, what do you think?
I don't think there's a lot of skill involved.
He asked, can you canoe?
Oh, he's getting in a lot of skill.
No, I'll say, what's the top of terbie.
Try getting in a deep water into the canoe.
Oh, tough times.
See, I feel like the canoe, I would tip and the kayak.
But it's kind of a two-person thing, the canoe, right?
Why?
Usually you're canoeing with somebody.
You can solo canoe.
Cool.
I know you can, but by and large.
There's two seats in it.
You're usually.
You can put three.
Oh, really?
It was big ones.
Whereas the kayak is kind of the individual deal.
But you got five.
Double kayaks, too.
I'm aware.
You guys really want to fight me on this.
But again, I would think if you were to ask, what's the one person and what's a two person,
the canoe is for two and a kayaks for one?
Fair?
Sure.
No.
Yeah, you're dick.
I know that your kayak is only for one because it's a kayak.
Yeah.
I don't think you can lump the canoe into a.
The voyagers would have been one to a canoe.
Why is it a couple's event?
Well, there's a seat at the front and there's a seat at the back.
So what?
There's eight,
how many seats are in a plane?
We've got to fill them all.
Got a mini van.
How many seats in your vehicle?
He needs to eat.
I do.
He's hangary.
Just saying.
He's poking the bear.
It's good stuff.
He is.
Okay.
We got to,
it's a dumb show, folks.
That's the bracket.
that's the good news now some bad news oh no uh it's kind of breaking news it's kind of bad news
uh we have heard from our tsn hockey insider no did he have a smoking issue uh cigarettes he
hitting darts no it's not he's very healthy here's the text exchange
from darren drager fact forgot to tell you i can't do tomorrow's show tell ret my meat slicer is
a game changer roast beef turkey breast ham we've done it all and i said
sent him back, said no problem.
We showed your Instagram pick of the turkey,
which we did, I guess, two or three days ago.
And there he's got the ham.
Oh, so thin.
Look at that.
I'm going to text.
Just to copy him.
You've been inspired.
Greg, I'll be up to bontan.
I'm going to need a ham.
Take it home.
I just, I hope he's being careful because you get excited, you know,
and you start, ah, ha, ha, ha,
salt that ham.
That's how you lose some water.
Lose a finger tip.
Are you getting like three bowls with three different
mustards there and just dipping?
Because that's the first thing I think of.
So good.
Dejan,
I want the yellow.
I'm a picker of that.
I want to pick up corn or the,
what's a grainy one?
The grainy mustard.
I like that one too.
Graney.
Yeah,
grainy mustard.
Yeah.
It's a big,
you know what?
It's big in this part of the world.
What?
Like Saskatchewan?
Oh,
hell yeah.
Big mustard.
Yes.
There's lots of mustard.
Yeah.
Mustard seed.
I can tell you this because I've been doing some homework for our upcoming
Bologna Fest.
Yeah.
Oh.
And again, it's
mortadella a bologna.
Drake says he has
mortadella.
Is it in the
Bologna family?
Dean, I'll research it.
We'll work on it.
So there you go.
Sorry, guys.
No Dregs tomorrow, but he's
loving life.
There's no you either, is there?
I don't.
That was the good news.
I don't think so, yeah, that's the good news.
And as far as,
are you worried about telling people
that?
tune in?
No, it's just...
People will be morning,
riding outside the front door,
block party.
The bad news, no dragger.
The good news, no fat boy.
We talked about,
do you have a preferred parking stall
at Bontan?
Right.
It says here, I can't tell you who...
It could be anyone, really.
I know.
No private parking stall,
but they,
he might name his boat after you.
Because you played such a huge part
in it being
in existence at all.
That's unbelievable.
Yeah.
All right.
Mortadella and baloney
are similar in appearance
but are distinct types of meat products.
Mortadella is a large cylindrical
sausage made of finally hashed pork.
It is your mortadella when you go.
Bologna on their hand,
their hand is an American imitation.
Oh, it's a knockoff.
I don't think Dean's going to like that terminology.
AI smart enough.
I'm not going to judge.
Mortadella is ground pork and.
And pork fat, peppercorns, pistachias, berries.
Really?
Bologna is made from a mixture of...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
From there on, it's not important.
Nope, all done there.
It's not important.
While bologna originated as a form of mortadella,
it has evolved into a different product
with its own characteristics and production.
It's in the bologna family, sure, yeah.
Or the other way around,
Bologna's part of the mortadella family.
Guess so.
Well, I'm not against having a mortadella,
And a balloon.
We're going to have to do a taste test, I think.
But man, because I was thinking, you like the mustard.
Get some local.
There's a lot of, can I ask you a question, no?
If you're sipping a fine wine.
Yeah.
You're not throwing in some vodka with it.
Or ice cubes.
No, you're just drinking the wine, yeah.
Right?
So, like, if we're determining the top baloney in town.
Yeah.
Are we not kind of mucking about if we're adding mustard?
I'm not against the mustard.
I enjoy the mustard.
I'm with you.
I love mustard.
is a trick question.
Have we sullied the bologna?
You will sample the bologna, and once you made your mind up, now help yourself to these delicious
mustards.
Here's the thing.
Mustard bar.
Mustard bar.
Oh, that's a great.
Mustard bar.
What about a pickle bar while we're at it?
Pickle bar.
I heard you like your pickles.
Jack, they got anything you need?
There's a mustard company in Gravelberg, Saskatchewan that's very popular.
I'm from that part of the world.
I know.
There's some in Alberta.
Get some good.
local mustards, some pickles, some maybe some beverages from, you know,
place in Strathmore, like an origin.
They could probably make mustard out there.
That's the next thing those buggers will be doing.
And maybe you want mustard business.
Maybe you want some fried bologna.
Maybe you want.
Don't tease me with no fried bolognies.
We haven't eaten today, Dean.
This is really mean that you're doing this now.
My dad brought some coworkers home once.
Have I told this story for lunch?
Tell us.
and usually mum has like steak sandwiches like when i went home for lunch in school steak sandwiches
mashed potatoes like yeah hurrieds yeah and that day mom was a little down and out so it was
baloney sandwiches and Doug was about ready to oh no brought on my co-workers and give him a baloney
sandwich mm-hmm can't just know what the guy said it's the best baloney sandwich I've ever had
Ever really, eh?
Best balloon sandwich this guy's ever.
You know why?
Love.
Never had fried.
Oh.
She fried that shit up.
Yep.
It's like so many things.
It takes on a different characteristic.
The whole different world.
Yeah.
When it's,
they screw it up in Buffalo at the rink dough fellas because the bologna's too thick.
I was just going to say,
Dregor has it figured out.
It needs to be sliced thin.
That's a huge part of it.
And then what you need to do is you need to,
so if it's in the round,
except for prime rib,
you have to slice it.
it because otherwise it starts to cup.
Yeah.
And then the middle you're going to have your kind of still raw.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
So if you're flat slice of bologna does this, this part here cooked.
Yeah.
This part, not so much.
And you can flip it, I suppose, but then it's going to do it.
Yeah, that's going to slice it.
It's going to.
It's going to fan out three one, two, three slices.
Mm.
Can't wait for bologna fest, do you.
Stay tuned.
What's, I mean, why wouldn't you have a.
a baloney factory like a great baloney sandwich on a nice bread well yes but maybe some lettuce
butter whatever you can't where do you get a baloney sandwich i don't know which is why we're
bringing baloney back bringing baloney back i could envision a baloney sandwich just about anywhere
bringing baloney back barn burner blonde i feel like that's a match made in heaven buddies

And the babes will be into it too.
They're totally...
Yeah, babes love...
They love baloney.

Will we have an easy way for people to enter the master's pool?
We sure will because it's a article be necessary,
or can we just put up the link to enter?
We will have the link to enter.
Jack is very enthusiastic about writing.
The barcode thing.
QR code, Jack, get on it.
Yeah.
Jack's like, don't bring me a time.
I had a hard time coming up with an article.
My article is actually just released.
Oh, it's published!
Candy Bracket article?
While we were doing the show?
That's how good the show.
That's how good the show was.
Didn't have time.
Time management.
Well done, Jack.
It's Thursday.
I call it efficiency.
You guys are taking runs at them.
I'm not fishing.
Runs at them.
I'll give a shit.
If it was an article keeping us from putting it started,
it was just where can people vote?
I will write the article, Jack.
How's that sound?
And you publish it for me?
Why do we need an article?
article we like articles what are we talking about hey buddies join our master's pool here are the prizes link here boom none are just the blood just a shit disturb so good i'm the big reader well and lots of details more on gray wolf and sundry and of course safe today coming up we got some time mash up your drives at those courses
you ever been to a guest national no i don't want to go there that's fancy my dad's gone good for him quit bragging about your dad
fuck he's here he's there
there's everywhere
she's
they do
let's
let's do the
super chats
I need to eat
I was gonna say
I'm trying
I need a
sticker
yes
apparently
you're very hangary
five bucks
Ken Chacon Roy
use the two
first rounders in Anderson
to get into the top
20 at the top 10
in 2025
his focus should
only be on making this team better at any cost.
What the hell you're saying?
This is not the draft year to do that.
Next year,
you go get more.
Well,
I think that's what he's saying.
I wouldn't do it this year,
no.
You know,
it's a DM.
So you're probably looking at pick 20-ish,
pick 27-ish,
just ballpark for the Jersey and Florida picks and Anderson to get a top 10.
See,
here's the thing.
There's probably other teams in the league.
They're probably looking at their life.
Mm-hmm.
Well,
they also know who Gavin McKenna is.
Chances are.
Oh, no, no.
He's from Western Canada.
How are we tracking?
Is there a chance we have a bottom 10?
They already got Vegas's first year from now.
That damn Conroy.
Yeah.
So to this point, I would say if anything, if we talk about lotto tickets, literally.
You have to earn it.
If you can have another shot inside that draft lottery somehow, some way.
No one's doing it.
But I don't think that's easy to do.
And again, he's saying 2035.
I know he is.
2026 is the account year.
I think he.
I would hope you'd get more for Anderson than one first, so to speak, even though that's a high first.
Never mind adding two of your own first, but it's an interesting conversation.
You can make good picks right now, too. Don't be free.
Pick where you're picking.
Look at that picture on Ken there. What an avatar.
Sanay, moving on.
Thank you, Ken, five bucks.
There's Adam 555.
