That's probably how that works. Yeah. And we are mostly here in the McLeod Law LLP studios. Everybody from McLeod Law, they were worried yesterday. I know. You know, because they check in every day. Uh-huh.

But like, was there an incident? Do you need any legal help? Yeah, do you need us to come by? Is there any litigation that needs to be done? Because we love to litigate. We said, no, we don't think so anyway. Um, there was real, there was real concern. These guys, they didn't really care.

They're like, just start the show, whatever. I was like, guys, this is very unlike red. I think maybe we should check in for his, about his well-being. So I thought it was Jack and I knew the guy that didn't. Oh, yeah, that was how it was. Right. I appreciate the gift basket, you guys said. Thank you.

Yeah. Well, that was wonderful to receive. You always thinking of me. Should we contact the shoveler to see if everything's. Jack was wondering if he'd come over and help with laundry, given how Jack wanted to give you mouth to mouth. I don't know what that was about. Odd.

Friggin' weird. Weird, Jack. Jack's been lonely. Yeah. Been lonely. A long time. Clean it up, Jack. How are you feeling?

What's, give us the update. Because it's weird, you are a, you're a crazy person and you're into all the, the voo shit. So that I didn't think you, I didn't think you would get sick anymore.

No, you're, you're still exposed to it. The double goose cook gets you sometimes. Oh, 100%. My kid asked me. cook the goose hammered that's what I was thinking okay thanks

yeah yeah so the double goose cook and then could just kind of I had a little coffee thing on Monday I'm like that's not normal for me and Tuesday morning

I'm like there's fatigue sitting in here something's going on left the show and called the doc I'm like I'm going to need some some fancy voodoo stuff.

High of new tongue of baths. That's where I went to, got some injections done, went home. I'm grateful to have done it because I think it would have been even worse. But then I got about 14 to 16 hours of sleep on Tuesday night.

It was wonderful. And so out, didn't even realize that it, like, woke up. I'm like, oh, oh, shit. I didn't tell those guys I was sick. When the body shuts down, down like that. It's like, ooh, I guess I needed.

Yeah. I needed that, huh? Yeah. You just bend the space time continue. You're like, oh, a day passed in what felt like 10 minutes. It'll be good. I'll press it. I know, no, too bad. Then the body's like, oh, you're actually not. You're done. Lay down. Better today? Even yesterday, because it was 24 hours after the drugs kick in.

I started, I think it knocked the, I think it knocked the top off the illness, if you know what I mean. Like, I got sick, but it kind of put a, the brakes on it a little bit. I think I would have had another day, but yeah, I'm bet even yet last night, it was like, okay,

I'm a functioning human again. Yeah, I can move about the world, so. So, we're happy to hear that. Better again today. Yeah.

Did the shoveler take good care of you? Well, average, very average. It wasn't, I wasn't a lost cause, but I was very left to my own Yeah.

And if you're sleeping like a rock, what are you going to do? She said that the missed your face or something while you're sleeping. The big galute went downstairs and could hear me snoring yesterday afternoon. So things seem to be okay. When you can hear the snoring on a different level of the home. Beautiful. It's like, wow. He's in one.

Really, really. Yeah. See, that's like Mike Commodore gets in one. That's my kind of in one. When you can sleep for that many hours. Oh, man. How was it? It was so good.

It was so good. I got right out of it. Passed right out. Awesome. Well, we're glad you're feeling better. Well, thank you. Thank you. How was you?

How was a show yesterday? I'm sure it was great. Electric. No, noodles is concerned too, but luckily we broke the news that you were still alive. Jack was efforting a bouquet to send to the front door, but once we knew you were alive, we all settled down. Jack probably wanted to deliver it himself. He was insistent on it.

It was weird. Yeah. probably did and I don't even know. Jack? I was snoring. Creep. Just stop us, please. Cabby said.

Cabby, of course, down the hall, shares our studio here. Jack walked in today. He's like, hey, it's going to be some hot boy summer for you, Jack summer. Is it going to be... Signing up.

You should have saw what I walked into this morning, Rhett. Yeah, it was a parenting seminar today. What? Boys are and how easy parenting is. Yeah, we were having a chat and I said to Mr. Richards, I said, how was, how is the family life? Which, uh, he either, that was the worst thing to ask or it was something you needed

to get almost. Yeah, yeah. He basically laid down on the couch and we just played psychologist for half an hour. So yeah, there was, um, mild ranting. Yeah, there's some good rants and raves. But it was, uh, it's a little shodden Freud, right? because you've gone through it and you've gone through it. It's like, oh, really?

So kids are hard, is it? It's weird. Two young kids at the same time, they're a handful and they can. He's hardcore though. They don't put them in daycare. They're at home. There's a parent at all times. You need a breather from that.

But yes, that was, so Cabby was kind of getting things off of his chest. Is he going to get through it? So is eye opening for Jack and therapy? Putech for cabby. That's what a thing we did. That really is what it was. Jack's just quit on dating and we're like, yeah, you're heading into the summer here.

It's hot Jack summer. Get ready. It's been in the gym. Ready to rock. Along with Jack. Yeah. I can't wait. Just tucked right under Rhett's arm there.

He'll wing man you around Stampede. I'm going to crush Stampede with Jack. Yeah. We were saying that Jack maybe needs a make good on the 999. Mm-hmm. Yeah. We're kind of mapping on to Jack. I need to make good on a lot of things.

I don't think he's beheld the cool account. Lausannea, pizza days. I'm going to say this also, just before I forget, St. Paddy's Day can F the off. Really? Oh, geez, what happened? I went back because I was down and out. I went back through the history of St. Patty's Day. Nothing good has ever come about for the retro on St. Patty's Day.

Other than the one day in Buffalo where the parade was going on and there was a fight in the streets. That was a wonderful day. Other than that, it's all been bad. We had the double down illness. I had a return from Kelly Chase's guitar picks and sticks to Nashville, and that one buried me for a couple days. I had yesterday a couple days ago.

And then I had the Chicago experience. Right. Yeah. Yeah. They're way more negatives than things. positives for St. Paddy's Day. Well, it's whatever it takes to drive the snakes at Ireland or whatever it's all about. Yeah, I don't even

I don't know. It's a bullshit holiday for alcoholics. I love it. So the one in Buffalo and the fighting in the street, you, you weren't fighting. Oh, I wouldn't do that, Dean? Nope. I don't know. Great. Were there some, uh, of your brethren who were fighting? Yeah, some of the brethren had a bit ago. So it was good. Yeah. Was it kind of like, uh, odd. You feel like that might have hit the, uh,

The socials. The news one. Yeah, yeah. If nowadays, it would have. Was this more of like a royal rumble or a feature match? This was a, this was a real shit kicking the wrong way. This man had had too much to drink and too strong an opinion. And he got served up a bottle of whoop ass.

What time of day does this parade take place? It was before noon, Dean. Yeah. Because if I recall, we don't need. to necessarily name names. But if I recall the story correctly, that gentleman had already kind of been taken home because his day was done already.

Pre parade? It had been a, I believe it was a Sunday. It was St. Patty's Day. We'd gone out after a game Saturday night. Bars close at four in Buffalo in case you were wondering. So I didn't get home fairly late. By 9.30, people were kicking my bed. Let's go.

It's St. Patty's Day. Okay. Go to a house party prior to the parade. This man is D-U-N. Done. Get your ass home. Send him home in a cab. Yeah. Head down, walk down to the parade, look over, and said, man is getting an ass-wopping. So not only has he been taken home, he's since left home, got to the parade, and now is he's going to curfuffle. He's commandeered the cabby and convinced him to drop him off for the parade. well we'll uh i don't know who we need to talk to about getting this the same patty's thing they

kind of mothballed but we'll try our best you need to go somewhere on a beach that's doesn't have green just a little just get out of dodge keep the trouble at bay uh capital shev capital capital automotive group it's capital chef capital chavdott's 13103 lake fraser drive in the southeast it's galgary's truck destination capital chevalate buick gmc keeps the lineup deep, hardworking silveradoes and sierras to SUVs and everyday commuters. You've maybe heard about the $99 lease. Oh, that's a real deal.

Big inventory, competitive pricing, and a team that knows how to keep its things simple. When you need something built for winter roads or summer road trips, it's the kind of place where you walk in curious and leave confident. Trucks, deals and a no-nonsense experience just the way Calgary likes it. The official Donali supplier of myself. God, the official vehicle of the Boone clan.

The Boone clan. Very happy to be rolling around courtesy of Capital Shave. Go and see Claire and the staff at 13103 Lake Fraser Drive. There are some oil or honks in there. Be careful. They walk amongst us.

We're okay. If we grew up in Edmondson, we'd get out of there too. You've got to go somewhere. They're okay. Somewhere nicer. Last night, there was a hockey game retro involving the St. Louis Blas

and the Calgary Flames. I don't know if you, oh, is this a scoop? Scoop job. Here it comes. Yeah. He's a good boy. He is such a boy. Look at this. What a stud.

You're not good. We don't need a dog. What a dog. Stupid dogs. Sometimes they're shooting a dog. All the cats. Dogs suck. Yeah, sometimes you've got to shoot your dog. There were two hockey games last night, one that I was interested, and one that I turned on to watch. It was so, yeah, okay.

So you saw that Carolina Penguins game, obviously. That was electric. Jack Boomer and I were buzzing. Oh, you guys weren't buzzing on the... It was unbelievable. There's been some really good games coming to the Olympics. I've not seen any of it. I was certainly upset to see Jack's penguins come out on the bottom, but...

They got their point, and they've struggled beyond regulation. They're the worst team in actual history in the shootout at 1 in 10, I believe. This one had prior to the shootout. But honestly, before the Olympics, there was so much slop. There's been some really good games the last little while. Like, I think of, you know, that Colorado, Edmonton one grabbed me. me there's been some like Buffalo Tampa for many Buffalo Tampa was incredible awesome but I think what it is now is

you're out of this we got 30 some how many of the middle yeah you can wrap now it's like okay we're into the playoff push here like 15 12 that sort of number we're now into seating and like okay this team's got a tie break like the the battles are clearly drawn at this point flames and blues last night the the flames get a you guys were also commenting on this game that you've Your dreams came true. Yeah, Jack was kind of.

Jack's fears were actual. Yeah. They were not dreams coming true. The 7.30 midweek game that goes to a shootout when you're working the afterburner is. It's always awesome. He called it in the second, I think. This has got overtime written all over it.

And I was like, why you got to go curse it? And it was a long game because they kept disallowing goals. So it's idiot refs, Jack. So is it just ruined my life. Even though they got it right each time. eventually, yeah. Very easily could have been a game that didn't have to go. The exact opposite of the Pinder mad at the umps.

We should have the computer doing it all. Yeah. This is the opposite. It's like, no, don't go back. Don't slow this shit down. Let's just carry up. This is like run clock when you're doing. I don't care if it's right or wrong.

It's irrelevant. These teams are out of it. Just around the clock. Yeah. The high stick negates the Conner's area high stick negates a goal. Twas a high stick. it. Farabee was offside. It was offside before he scored.

And Kevin Ball, the puck did come out at the line. Not by a ton, but. It was offside. It's why we have rules, Red, otherwise. All those plays except they don't count. Huska said something really interesting, which is, I didn't think of, it makes a lot of sense. He's like, if it's really, really close,

I'd rather have the officials keep things on side and let the play continue because you can always go back and fix it, where if you blow it dead on a potential two on one, if you get that one wrong, you can't go back and fix it. Wow. Okay, I hadn't thought about it that way. That's a good point by him.

Another good point is that's how close winning and losing is in the other. 100%. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of lets the refs off the hook a little bit too. It's like if I'm wrong, they'll, I hadn't thought about it.

I do like what he's saying, but you're right. They should just try to get the calls right rather than like, I'll give me yourself. We know refs are idiots. I saw it in the game last night. There was hometown. Which one?

Yeah. The referee union is not a fan of this show. Just takes a beating every single day. Come on refs. Compires, refs. NFL officials with Patty Mahomes and games. I'm taking some bullets. Yeah.

So three disallowed goals. It remains one. One. They go to extra time. There is nothing to be decided. They go to a shootout. And I mean, we can double back on the other stuff, but we may as well go to the one that has,

I was watching. My kid was down. downstairs. I just feel like this is going in. There's just something. This guy, this guy is, he is, he's got a tremendous shot. He's a score. He's, and he's just, something about his demeanor. Did he look nervous? Zero. I mean, he looks like he's 12, but true. He is calm. And it just. Can I just, can I, can I, you know what that looked like? Patrick Fing Kane. Yes, I wanted to say it. And that's the highest of compliments. But like, like,

it had the same vibes. It doesn't mean he's going to be like, okay, here's a spot. I'll just put it there. That's fine. I know where I'm putting it. I know it's going in. I just have to go do it and it's done.

And I expected it to go in game. Whatever we're worried about. Let's go. I like how Farabie's coming along too. We're in the A. It looks like a guy. Yeah, like he gets the goal. It doesn't count, but it's a hell of a play.

He's way more involved. Well, and also, clearly he's having impact in the room. I, we haven't paid any attention to fair to be as far as, you know, expecting him to be a leader, right? I just hadn't heard anything about it. It's fine. Not that I should have, but it clearly he's having an impact in the room and he's

playing well. We talked in here early in the year there was lots of games where he was the best player. Couldn't score for his life. Yeah. In October, he might have had like five to six expected goals and he was stuck at like one. You're like, this guy cannot buy a bounce. Posts all over, whiffing on empty nets and tights. like he plays a mucky brand and he works his tail off and it's good to see him get rewarded because

October was the exact opposite. I don't know Francis was talking about it on the one broadcast that after the trades are done and they bring the leadership group, whatever you want to call it, and Zari is in there and Ball is in there and Fairbys in this group. He's like, well, we're going to, here's the well, letters are going to go for alternate captains. You're going to wear the A at home. And for Farabee, it was maybe caught him a little bit off guard, super, like it was took a photo, sent it to his folks kind of thing.

I was like, never really had a letter. You think about it. Anderson, Cadry, Weiger, Hubert O'Hert, like, you did kind of need to reload the letters and the leadership. Yeah. It's funny because it almost, it felt like that was a bit of, it's not like he's playing through the roof, but there's been a noticeable difference in his level of play, maybe before that, but what was it like for you? Because you, you've worn the A. When did you get your first A?

aside from math in high school my first day oh in junior but in the NHL right it's yeah mufflow 2000 yeah do you remember the date to the situation had guys been moved or how did that go

I don't really you would have arrived what the year my thing of British A's and C's and all that BS it's not BS but it is and it isn't BS because there's there's guys on teams that have leadership letters

and they're clearly not leaders. And my thoughts were always you play the same way no matter what. You were already a leader on the ice. Sounds a whole and everyone is different. But there would be some guys maybe wouldn't even see themselves in that light. So okay.

Okay, well, that's, I appreciate, you know, I wonder if that does, you know, strike a bit of a court. Huska post game, obviously, they win this hockey game, they get two points in the week, whatever. They're going to win some games. Yeah, that's their third in March. That's your quota, fellas, just so you know, you hit it. We'll get to some of the other contestants and combatants in the game,

but we talk about the calm demeanor of Gridden and Huska talk postgame about not just the calm demeanor, but there's maybe a little bit of dog in there too. You know, we talk a lot about players on the bench, you know, and the next one counts, or it's on the line. line. A lot of guys won't turn around and look at you. He did tonight. So to me, that shows a lot about I want to go put me out there type thing where, you know, that's something that Nas used to do a lot of. Joel Farabee does a lot of that right now. So he's moved himself up because he's

scoring. But for a young 20-year-old to look and say, hey, I'm the guy that can finish this. That's a pretty impressive thing. And I think that goes to your kind of cool in his veins or I don't know what I would call it. It's just pretty relaxed when he goes in there. it's funny because you see that play and I thought they were awesome against Detroit, the Frost, Tim and Coronado line. He played Clapkin minutes last night and so did Frost. They were under 13 minutes and you're not seeing him in overtime. And what Husk is talking about is the shootout.

It's like it feels like a real short lease for a guy that might be your most talented player right now. I know people. 12 minutes. I know. I'm having faith in the coach here that he knows. knows what he's doing. And it's, it's not that he's limiting his minutes.

It's this is what right now is best for the player to succeed. That individual, it's not everybody, kind of like we just talked with letters. Because when I was looking at that this morning and just watching Huska, I remember it was a year ago after training camp. He talked about gridden, great camp.

Next year, I want you to come here in the mindset and be ready to make this club. And at the time, it's like, well, that's cute to say. Yeah, he's just playing the US channel.

He's just a 18 year old. Like that's, that's very nice of, coach and a year later the guy comes to camp and is ready to win a job on the national hockey league team. So can you give him more minutes? You can, but maybe that's not the best because what you're seeing from him is all good. Yeah, it might have been a night where the coach didn't like his five on five game.

I just thought when you have a four and three power play, like he's your best shooter, he's probably got your highest hockey IQ right now. Like he should have been out there instead of maybe a pending UFA, you're not going to sign that's looked really, stale and it was all over the olivson played a lot of the the overtime yeah Huska knows what he's like he's

he's seeing what we're seeing it does seem weird I don't know if is it a last ditch effort he's got to manage the room a little bit too I totally part of it right we're only seeing what we want to happen I'm kind of trying to the exact

I like Huska I like how he's coached you can't question what he's done So I have to have some. If I've got conifidence, I've got to let Huska do his thing too. 100%. He's not done anything wrong with any of these kids and teaching them to earn it. It isn't the end of the world. And there's days where you're not sharp.

Are there situations where you might do things differently? Maybe. But he's got a better grasp of the whole picture we do. We're looking at it. Play the kids. Well, I got to manage the room too. Yeah, I think we all look at it from the gridden perspective. We're like, we want more.

That's great. because that means it's a great story. Like this is a late first rounder. You're probably hitting there's less than 50-50, and he's already looking like a very, very good player in the NHL in his 19-year-old season. But Huska has to manage a room with a veteran and Victor Oliveson who's heading into UFA.

And it's like, if I lose this guy now, how does that affect the room? We're not thinking about it from the Olson perspective, right? And he doesn't look great, but there's a reason that he's putting him out there. Or any perspective, right? Because my reaction to everybody, well, I care more about what Gridden is thinking than Oloffson is thinking. But to your point, retro, it's the guy, if we're going to sit and applaud the team for effort and try and being in hockey games despite having the lowest number of goals scored and near, it's got to be seller in terms of overall skill in the team. You have to give the credit to some of the credit to the coach there and then just kind of have faith in what he's doing.

to that end, because we all see it. I get text from P's like, what the hell is the line up, but this and that? Here was asked about post game, the roster construction on a nightly basis, because we know there's a lot of guys and play line combos and this and that. Are you seeing the competition? Well, you didn't play last game, so now you're in, so now you've got to step up.

Are you seeing that competition or how is the evaluation process in a way going right now? Sometimes you're putting a player in that, you know, you didn't work. You're taking someone out, I should say, that didn't necessarily deserve to be taken out. So I don't know if you're creating the right type of competition with that, but that's the environment that we're in right now because of where we're sitting in the standings. There's more bodies around. People are going to get themselves in the lineup. I don't want a lot of people sitting forever.

Old, young, it doesn't matter. But it's hard when there's certain nights when a guy plays well, and he finds himself out of the line up the next night. Too many bodies. And that's, you just signed a college for agent. You got to take some money back on deals. Gridden last night, 1249, Olofson 1434. So just a little bit under two.

Over time minutes. That's probably the difference, really. 254 in power play time for Gridden, 325 for Olibson. over a 60 minute game. It was just so obvious at that point, this is maybe when you put the kid. Through one. Huska.

Also, the other part of it is too, do you have an agent in your ear? This guy's going to be a free agent. He's like, all right, we're going to play him. And then when he doesn't do anything, it's like, well, now you can get out of my friggin' office. I think that's exactly what's happening. It's like you're doing a veteran assault.

He's a UFA. He's a guy fighting. I don't think just for a conference. trek, but stay in this league. Could be. Like when you watch him, are you like, oh, he's going to be a July 1 pickup? I don't. That looks like PTOville right now.

And at this point, it's like, am I going to Europe? Am I going to take a two-way deal? Am I a PTO? Am I playing a league min? You're doing him a solid, but he's running out of runway to impress. I'll say that. Yeah. Because it's not like they haven't given them.

They have given it to him. What have you seen? Maybe a play, but most nights invisible. On the flip side, Bristevich last night. 20 minutes and 33 seconds of ice. Played 18 and a half against Detroit. So the coach has no problem.

Now loading some minutes on young Bristavich, who has handled it everywhere last night. Yeah. And that seems like a nice security blanket for a young kid. I kind of like matter. He's good. It's kind of like White Cloud. You're like better than I thought and certainly not sexy,

but very capable. 2343 to lead all players last night for Matt. Exactly what you want out of a guy in that situation. Play solid. He's not a true number one, but he's playing as a number one minutes and he can handle and he gives you solid minutes. I think they're absolutely going to, if they aren't already fall in love with Bristavich,

I think he's going to be. I think they are. Excellent player for the Calgary players. Yeah. On the flip side, Marty Pospisal Team Low 10 and you have Klapka out. You've got Tyson Gross. waiting in the wings for his NHL debut.

You've got Lomburg. You got all, like it is, feels like a lost year. We talked about yesterday when you weren't here, but Popsil's three-year extension kicks in next year. Three at two and a half. Is it at two and a half? And they got it done very early in the fall with. Well, I mean, he was a bit of a unicorn at the time.

Not at the time of the signing. He's first year, yeah. You know, the guy's big and these skates. He's a shit-diserver. And he did score last night and got this allowed. Maybe it's, maybe it's still there. But it's, that's going, we talked about it yesterday. It's going to be a weird, interesting project moving forward.

Can he get back to what he was? Does he want to get back to what he was? Do they want him to get back to what he was? Yes, they don't want him to. Well, they do. But I also think that when he had George Peros in his ear as much as he did two seasons ago, it changed away he played, whether he wants him and not. Never mind the concussions, but those two things.

Or can I say? think have affected his play. Don't forget Husky ran him into the ground that one day, which I thought was bullshit at the time. That's the one time where I was like, Hoski, you're completely off base here, giving him shit for trying to do what he does.

I don't think that was fair. And they got too many wingers. We're looking at this team without Hansick, who is going to be a top nine guy with this team next year. We saw him make some good strides this year on a checking. I'm not worried about it. But just hang with me, hang with him. And Huberto and who are the expiring

wingers. Like everyone wants to bring back Longberg. I don't know where you put him in. I feel like Longberg now it's almost impossible to resign if you're locked into posthousal. Like you can't have, you know, like you got four lines, eight wingers, even if one guy certainly, it feels like they got 12 guys. And aren't you planning on graduating a guy at some point in season?

I would let the offseason play itself out. The offseason. So to make my point, I think when this team goes to the draft and they've got all this draft capital and maybe they're trying to move up or they're packaged this for that or we'll use one of these picks to get a play. don't be surprised there's a winger staple to one of these deals just to make some room because they have too many. Whatever. Put them in the miners.

Could a Coleman deal happen? I don't. I think it's lower probability, but it could. I think they want him as a leader next year in the movement of the deadline. Yeah, I do too. But also, maybe Lomburg doesn't come back. And I'll be honest, until Sam Hansick shows me that he can be there and deserves a spot. Well, he deserved it this year.

He just got hurt. He was playing well. Yeah, but what happened up hospital? Pospisole has gotten less effective three years in a row. It was also hurt. No, but it's not like what he's healthy. If injury is okay for Anzik to be let off the hook, then why is an injury for POSPasol? What I'm saying it's off the hook. What I'm saying is he's already a better player than Pospasol and played bigger minds.

Pospisle, we showed it yesterday's foot speeds way down this year. I'm not a proponent for Pospasel, but I just think we're making a mountain out of a moho. who the fuck cares put him into minors if he clears waivers who cares like yeah i'm not so if we're so concerned about posses he'll make it two and a half he can make two and a half of the miners sorry yeah yeah like and i and i'm still that's where they if that's where the ball has ended up rolling to and i'm not saying you're wrong right because i actually don't like how he's playing and i but i think it's worse than that i think that there's a little fernland is the perfect example of pospism michael furland you can't

pull back the reins that much. So, yeah. And have a bunch of concussions and not connect the two. I agree. And they both got contracts and they both had major concussion issues. And they both probably got, you can't do that. That's bad for the game. Have a seat.

You're getting fined. All those things add up to a guy that doesn't look like the shit disturbed two years ago when he came into the league. Yeah. And I think you can go to Pospisal and say, I don't care what George Peros tells you. He can F his hat. You play the way you're supposed to.

I don't think you can do that when he's been concussed. And you have to tell him, run through guys and crush guys and fight to do it. Wow. You'd be fought the other day and you're kind of grimacing about it. You're like, dude, who thought that he was going to play? I was watching that. I'm like, he got punched. He might be done because he got hurt early in a year and look, we didn't even notice it.

Apparently innocent play. It's not a criticism. It's just. No, it's, you can't operate without that in your back of your mind, can you? I don't you can. The number of concussions he's had. Yeah. But it's, and we'll move on.

just in terms of the winger situation for next season. It's not a now issue, but I think in Craig's office on the whiteboard, they're trying to find ways to make room because what you'd love to see is what Pittsburgh dig it and what Connie did two years ago, which is let's roll the dice on a one-year math a thing. And if he pops, we can turn him into assets or sign them. When you've got more wingers than you even can hold on an NHL roster, that card's taken right of your hand.

It's a nice thing to be able to do. Someone's on waiver. Shit, we'll take a gamble on Ely Tolvinen, like Seattle did or whatever the case may be. That card you can't play when you're flooded with wingers. And I think they will sort it out, but they didn't move a wing of the deadline this year. And wingers aren't going for prices. Like centers got paid.

I would much rather have Connor Garland on my team than Nick Waugh. One got a first and a third, the other got a second and third. I'm with you and we can move on. Absolutely. I think your bigger concern as an organization isn't trying to bring in a free agent. You can flip for more assets. I think you've got a ton of assets. You've got a lot of stock and your drafts.

ready, your focus should be on what you have and bringing them along. And if you're limiting a spot for one of those players, because you're going to try and bring a guy in and turn him into something to flip them. I think you're doing a disservice to your squad. I think they are a year away from someone graduating from the air. Like if SUNYev's going to happen, it's probably going to be late next year, if at all next year. Bashar went back to junior this year.

They've got some other guys that'll come into the pro ranks out of college potentially. But like, I don't think you have someone knocking on the door playing wing for the But I mean, Gridden has arrived. Because he was a guy. Yeah. Yeah. He's arrived. Hansik.

If you're saying we've got too many wingers already, I don't give a shit who's a free agent that I might be able to turn into an asset. No, that means things are going well. And they have enough picks and assets now, right? If you're going to go into the free agent, it's going to be, it better be for something that you think is going to help this team. Center eyes, love shot D. Just back to Bristevich. He made, there again, I think Robert Munich on his ex account, He's like, you watch these plays, and he's already making very calm and poised under pressure plays.

Do you see, because in junior retro, he had big numbers in junior. It hasn't so far translated in the NHL. Is he a, is he a guy that's going to get points to go with the poise or is this mostly just kind of a lot of. I think he's just going to be one of those salt. Like, is Anderson a point getter? Was, but no. Not till the, not till the, he has his weird. He's not, do you, if you say Rasmus Anderson, are you saying point getter?

He's not a, like, I think he's that similar style where he's going to do everything for you to play his ass off. And if you need him to run a power play, he can. Rasmus played a top pair role for a while and he isn't that right now. He's having a miserable go in Vegas. On this team, though, in fairness. Yeah. And so just let me finish the point. I don't think Bristavich's ceiling is that high, but I think you've got a really good puck mover than on a contender is a four or five.

Like if he's better than that. I do too. I think he'll end up. Either way, it's a lovely asset. Like that felt almost like that that, that Lindholm deal, man, I'm telling you, for two months of Mel Lindholm in Vancouver, that's Gridden, that's Perstevich.

That's how you got Frost and Farabee once you threw in Peltje who's in the miners. It is remarkable how two month rental of Lindholm is, like you've got two core pieces it looks like. Here's why I think Bristavich should be more because he wants to be more and he'll push himself to be more and he's got the right approach. to the game.

21, he'll be 22 in November this year. Yeah, it's time. But, um, so yeah, that's, that's a scoop from last night. They did get a win, damn it. But they are allowed to do. Joel Holfer. Couldn't steal hold was at the game.

Did you catch up with him? I didn't see. We were going to go with him and Reggie and Sean O'Brien. We were going to go for supper, but I was clearly comatose. You're out. Brought the RV out. What a guy? What's, uh, what's Leo up to these days and how often is he getting back?

Because he was saying, he was on socials like this would be my last trip to the dome it sounded like. So soak it in because she's not here all the time apparently. Well, no. He lives in Minnesota. Yeah. The dome's coming down soon. And I think that's the only reason he came up here.

I believe if I'm not mistaken that they run a, uh, a, uh, a, uh, a wedding venue. you. Oh, yeah, you've mentioned that. I'm not, I'm hazy on details, but I do believe that's what he's. Once Jack meets his sweetheart at Stampede, you can be best man. Yeah, yeah, Jack. It's going to be awesome. Did ever cross your mind post career?

Do kind of like a chapel? I'm still thinking about it. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. He's just amassing land. He doesn't know which property is. Yeah. He's going to put the chapel on. Because if there's, if there's somebody that kind of leans to the sentimental, it's our

buddy wreck. It's the honey dripper. Wow, I could absolutely. Do you guys want some tooling to go with the, the twinkle lights over here, over the arch when you come in? I can see you doing that. What was that to take to get your license? Like $100. You can marry people?

Oh, yeah. Love their arrest. Details. Details. That's what those things are all about. Details. That's what I do. Forever and ever, amen, until you're dead.

Kiss the little, kiss her now. Just the woman. Shot of crown. That's right. Ah, Viena Nova. Speaking of love. Yeah. That's love right there.

Vinova. Stampede. Then you go to Vena Nova. Rets your best man. Go to Leo's wedding. We got all sorted for you, Jack. I could write your vows. Vows.

You want to give us a couple of now? No, I'm not. Wows, yeah. They are Calgary's lab grown diamond specialists. The Vena Nova showroom has the largest selection of lab grown in Canada. Maybe it's earrings. Engagement rings. Necklaces, bracelets.

It's all going to be a winner. When they open up the, you know, whatever. it is you wrap it bag there lab grown diamond pretty special same chemical composition and crystal structure and hardness and light refraction as an earth mine diamond jack you know all this yes i do yeah you do and they're anywhere from 50 to 70 percent less expensive than earthmind and i it's you know i'm very happy talking to a lot of people's you know lab grow just because you know we've been talking about vina nova for a number of years and maybe when it starts like oh lab grown Is that kind of a new thing?

Oh, yeah. Why? It's new. It's better. It's new. It's better. And it's way, yeah. Like, let's take advantage of this loophole for some jerks closing.

I know. Yeah. There's not many deals out there. Not many. Not these days. Market Mall is the place to go visit the Vena Nova showroom. Vena Nova.com is the website that you can visit to check out and learn more. But I'd go see Justin.

If I read, let's go say hi. Tell them the Barnburner guys are talking about. about him. The old honey dropper himself. Rhett sent me. Yeah. He said, get married and do it quick.

We can do a couple of things. We can go straight to the Pinder report or we can, uh, oh, got a little something starting, starting next week that, uh, we're pretty excited about.

So I can't contain my excitement. Is it our March Madness basketball bracket? Kind of. Kind of. Jack, let's take a look. What we're, Hoopers,

dimers. I love Duke. this year. There it is. It was very quick. Hopefully you caught it. Barnburner Chocolate Championship 2026.

We did these on the old show back in the old radio days. Is radio still going? I guess it was kind of a COVID thing and we started. We'll do a brackets. March, March. Madness, this sort of thing. And it was people got to really enjoy it.

And I think people got very invested in it. Wait a minute. No, that's not, that's bullshit. That can't be, no, heck. And there were some surprises along the way. There's always some bracket busters. There's upsets.

Yeah. There's always some. Cinderella's, you love to see it. That's what makes a bracket special. So this is a, uh, we're going straight to the sweet 16 here. I had actually started cobbling together. I was, geez, 32's a lot. We were, we would have been able to do it.

Oh, yeah. Um, but it's a, it's a 16 team tournament. And. I just get to brace everybody. Not everybody's going to like this. But it's much like with Marchmont, how is this, college football,

how is this team? What does that, like seems undefeated? This seems to have two losses. How's it ranked lower? So I understand. But I, I included some very powerful and knowledgeable people.

We, people that I trust with, uh, my life. Yeah. I noticed you didn't reach out, which was the right move. Yeah,

because I, I said to Jack, I said, I can't have Pinder coming in with, we'll just leave that. I had one of these in high school. These aren't allowed in the house. Get out of here.

You ask the shoveler? Because the shoveler is a fanatic. Yeah, Jacket was doing shoveler correspondence. Good job, Jack. Compiled the data for the polling. Jesus. Got together for a coffee to discuss. What?

We're to experts. Let's take a look at the bracket for the 2026 Barnburner Chocolate Championship. My goodness. Can we take down the top rate? Yeah, let's get the barber bug off. Wow.

Here are the, here's, it's going to be a banger, boys and girls. Oh, are you? Going back to the chocolate championship we did on the radio, the Reese's peanut butter cups were the champions. They've held the number one seed until, to be the man, you've got to beat the man. They got the belt. They got the strap. Rees is in the one spot.

will face a opponent to be determined, which we'll discuss in a moment. The number two seed, the caramel milk bar. Do you have the caramel milk secret? How do they get the caramel milk inside the caramel milk bar? Still haven't figured that. Haven't figured it out. They are the number two seed.

They will face a play-in opponent to be, again, we will lay that out in a moment. The number three seed on the right side of your screen, the Mars Bar, a classic. It's actually, it's like the parent company is the Mars chocolate it's their cornerstone product. Mars will face the 14th ranked M&Ms. Not a chocolate bar,

but a very popular chocolate treat. This was kind of based on, if you go to a convenience store, you're going to get some M&Ms. You're going to get some M&Ms. It's a mainstream chocolate product, even though it's not a chocolate bar. And can we seek clarification on the M&Ms here?

We're just talking about the chocolate ones or the entire brand because they have a peanut, whatever people want to do on their vote. When you think M&Ms, If that's what you think of, then you can go ahead. Number four, the Nestle Kit Kat bar. The Kit Kat, the four seed, will take on Wunderbar, which is kind of a, is there some peanut butter in there?

There's a bit of wafer in there. We'll deal with it as we get into it. It's rich, great texture. Yeah, we'll get into these contestants as we go. But I think the Wunderbar has got its German hands full with the Kid Cat at 4. Snickers at 5 very much like the Mars bar, but

just a little different. That was the, are you hangary? Snickers really satisfies. They do a lot of, there's a lot of promotion, a lot of big money. Oh, yeah. Big chocolate bar money behind. Big snick. Yeah, behind the Snickers bar. The 12-seated arrow bar.

Oh, so light. So light and airy. Oh, delicious. The texture. two very different bars there. One is very dense and packed with peanuts. It's a good point. Those are the exact opposite.

Yeah. Styles make fights. I don't mind that one. Is that some nougat that we would find in the Snickers bar? I'm not sure if that's nougat or what they've got going on there. I don't even know what the hell newgut is. We're going to have to do some research. Yeah.

Number six. Oh, Henry. A classic. Definitely. I mean, what movie was it where they threw the O. Henry bar in the pool? Everybody had to get out. Caddyshack.

Is that what it was? Yeah. I believe. In addition to that, a very popular chocolate bar, kind of a staple. Middle of the road, I think there's some nougat in there. Or a toffee kind of an inert surrounded by chocolate and peanuts. Taking on crunchy, the Cadbury Crunchy Bar, which is like a, it's a toffee, a hard toffee that's wrapped in chocolate, which you wouldn't think would be any good. I don't know that you would eat the toffee without the chocolate on it, but you put the two together.

God is a dance. Yeah, it sings, those two. Pretty good. Where do we go now? The seven spot on the right side. The Canadian classic coffee crisp. Wow. You're not getting this in the U.S.?

No, you're not. And if the Americans could have it, or they want it. They do want it? You bring me down some damn coffee crisp every time you come. Oh, it's a stable. See, so it's a good point you bring up,

I was wondering, is this, is the coffee crisp? Because, I mean, we're on YouTube now. It's not a radio show. We're not limited by some weird AM signal. We're global. Oh, big time, yeah. We got people around the globe taking part in this thing.

Are they going to suffer because they're only really available in Canada? But you say that's not the case, Retro. Well, they will suffer because not everyone can have access to them, but if they've tasted one and come to enjoy a wonderful country and our chocolate bars, then they'll know the coffee crisp is an absolute stud. I think this could be a rallying cry in these tense geopolitical times

for Canadians to get behind the coffee crisp. I feel some Cinderella vibes here. We'll get Rhett to ask the Trumpster. What he's thinking about the coffee. One of the greatest in parts. The Trumpster would crush the coffee crust. Oh, yeah. Mr.

Big at 10. A 710 battle. The Mr. Big's got some wafery kind of thing going there. It's like your O. Henry, but it's just different enough. Less nuts, more wafer. Yeah,

it'd be lighter for sure than the O. Henry. I like it. Is that where are we now? Is that it? Oh, the 8-9. 8-9. absolute battle.

This is my favorite. This is like Minnesota and Dallas going head-to-head and round one. It's tough to lose one of these. It's so tough to lose one of these. God. Gary's saying, we love our first round. It's sort of the best. Yeah.

I believe this to be one of the retro. Red's not a big sweets guy. But I know if he's going for an ice cream, maybe it's a, maybe it's one of those early deals. You know, he's getting some double score put into his blizzard. It's a tough matchup for the first round. I love the score. A hard toffee

covered in chocolate. I went back, I was looking at some of the videos online. When they launched that thing, it was very coming out on the silver platter. Like it was a very upper, oh,

that's right. Yeah. Would you like a score? It's like the great prepon market. That's right. Limos, yeah. Big in the Pinderhouse. Taking on the nine seed twicks,

you get two of them. Kit Kat, you're getting four. Depends how you eat it, I suppose. If you want to just eat the Kit Kat as a one, you can't. But there's two separate

pieces coming. Is that an advantage? Is it a two on one? Don't even know if it needs that for an advantage. I like when I have a Twix that I'm not pock committed. I could put it down for a while. I still got another finger there for later. Yeah. I think it helps.

Wafers. It's light. Yeah. Oh, you can crack that one. So that is our bracket. Oh, well done. It's hard to debate anybody that's in there. I get that, again, if you're going to,

to be upset about your chocolate not being there i get it but this is the we canvassed a lot of people we went far and wide and this is the consensus top of the bracket we will need some opponents for rase and caramelk however i was going to say if your chocolate's not here doesn't mean he's dead yet let's take a look at our first of two wild card play-in matchups oh man to start things off you don't have it i thought we were doing that tomorrow he said well i guess we could we can do it tomorrow all right let people stew for 24 hours

on this yeah i guess we can do it tomorrow i'm kind of excited i have you already decided who it's going to be or is this a the announcements tomorrow we have the final four there's four that will fight down for it it's going to be two spots selection committee is they'll be an out they've sure we'll do it tomorrow

we'll do it tomorrow that's probably right there jack i i could see how excited i got once you get started yeah So I don't even want you to take it down. I just want to look at that gaze and it's beauty. That 8-9 is special. We will have details. People are, how do you vote?

The tournament starts next week. We will have the play-in games starting on Monday. I think it probably a quick 24-48-hour turn. And then a Wednesday to Friday round one. I can't believe 8-9 fell into the 8-9 slot and have to go up against each other. That's a banger of a match-up. Yeah. Jack, can we look?

We can do it more, I guess. What do you want to do? I just want to look at the bracket again. I think too. Just curious, but if we were going to pick an upset. I already got my Cinderil. Did we talk to bet 365? Are they on?

Are they, if you look on the 365 app, but they've got the chocolate championship up there? I wouldn't put it past them. I mean, if a nine beats an eight, it's an upset, I suppose, but. I'll tell you what, the upset might be the next round, because if Reese moves on and either the eight or the nine move on, Well, one of them, they are going to have their effing hands full. I feel the same way about if we get coffee crisper.

I was going to say, I mean, Caramelk, they'll be up. You think, you think Billy Garan's upset with Bettman? Yeah. I'm going to have Caramolk coming right at. Settle down, caramilk. What a bracket. What a bracket. Well done.

Are there any immediately omissions that come to mind as, I wonder about the M&Ms moving on through the first round as. 14 seed. Okay. They are highly popular. Around my house, the M&Ms would kick the shit out of the Mars. Interesting. Yeah, I wouldn't be so surprised.

For volume of consumption? 100%. I wonder about, uh, there's some weirdos out there that like they're weird chocolate bars and there's some weirdos that have been omitted, but they're just dangerous enough that I think we might see one or two in the playing rounds. And I haven't seen, but I'm guessing you've got the coconut lobby. They're not being represented anywhere here. And I know the, the smarty spoke to say, well,

of M&Ms are in. We'll see them. Jack, how hard would it be to, uh, I know, to get the plane? I can do that in. Because I know what they're, they're, they're a video file. Yeah. Which may take a little bit longer. I can have them ready.

So is there an omission though, right? Is there one that you're thinking, oh boy, that's, that's, that's one of our favorites that, that isn't there. You know me. I love sweets. Yeah, I do. I do know that. The chat is alive.

Yeah. The chat is alive. Yeah. sucks. It does, but so the people that like it. And then what's the one with the purple strip in it? That lunatic one? Turk is a life kind of thing. Yeah. That was when we did this the first time on there, it was an eye opener. There's some this like, well, they don't even, they should not be here. And then it's, oh, that's one of my favorites. That's an absolute favorite. And then it, not even an upset. Just like cruise through rounds

one of, who knew? Well, and I think you go into your convenience store or whatever. you're looking, you're like, how are these selling? Like, who's buying these? But clearly someone is. So the people that love some of these weird ones, they're cleaning out the joint. There are days you're in some of those stores and you walk by and you see a, the carton of that, and you're like, these are still being consumed by people.

Yeah, exactly. Okay. But obviously it is. They wouldn't keep stocking the shelf. Let's take a look at the first of two play in battles for the final two spots of the chocolate championship. Oh. all the Rolos I'd forgotten. Wow.

There is the one you were discussing the Turkish delight, the big Turk, taking on Nestle v. Nestle, the Rolo, again, not a bar. No. But a popular caramel chocolate treat against the big Turk. This was a shocker for us

the first time through. I've never had a big Turk in my life. And I remember talking to True Living. He's like, oh, big Turk for me. Jack, you're a big Turk guy? I've never had a big Turk boys. I was telling you that, so I remember, I was texting somebody that was in this, oh, big Turk is, how is it in a place?

It's got to be. The big Turk, I think, is going to be sneaky. I don't get it. Do we know if this is going to feed the 16 or the 15 hole? Yeah, we don't know. So maybe who gets the most votes will go 15 and at least. That's kind of what we were thinking. I like that.

So that's one of the two plans. Or have you done a big Turk retro? I bought a big Turk because the Turkish delight because of the prince. What is it? The princess of Narnia or whatever, that Narnia novel. Wow. The queen gregs up the kids with the big turks.

Uh-huh. Lights. So that's, yeah. I had a baseball coach that would buy by the box, only chalk party and he'd leave them for a year. He wanted that. Really? That purple stuff to almost sniff.

Knapp, it got so hard. I'm like, whee. And then the other final bracket, the Wild Card 2, we'll see. Oh, smarties. Yes, I knew they were there. Taking on dairy milk. Oh. This is another one of those ones. I think you can get the dairy milk now. They've got mini eggs in them. They got fruit and nut. Yeah, they got a lot of different. That sort of thing.

That's the benefit they're going to have against the smarties. Because the smarties are what they are. And they're unapologetic about it. They're not a chocolate bar. They're not M&Ms. They're smarties. And they are... It's in your mouth, not your hand, Dean.

I don't know if you knew that. That's what they say. This is a great wildcard game. Give us your thoughts, Jack. I mean, I love both of these. These are two of my favorites. I know. I love dairy milk.

It would have been way higher for me. Yes. These would both be in my 16. You know what dairy milk is? It's unapologically just good chocolate. It's all we are. Mixing a mash and a thousand things. We're not putting it in a weird shape.

It's just good chocolate. But we're so much better than Cadbury. We're so much better than Nestley. Because there's the nest. What is the Nestle one that's just the chocolate? I forget. Jersey milk. Right.

Yeah. Where are you on Smarties, Rhett? It actually is Cadbury. I know where Pinder is on it. He's a smarties guy. Well, I mean, you've got kids. They're a hit. I would go dairy milk.

My personal opinion is. in this matchup specifically is I lean more towards the traditional chocolate. The smarties are fine, but it feels like a childish approach to. It really does. It feels like youth against experience here. If only you look at the, uh, you know, look at the branding. Yeah. The fonts that are used, the color.

Yeah, yeah. As opposed to the class, the gold and it's two very different. You know, it's just like Sabres lightning. You got the young upstarts. Yeah. Very different. demos and then the guys that have been there before. Yeah.

Yeah. I think this will be very close. It's a banger of a wild card. And may we start to vote on this? Oh, yes. So where it'll be on flames nation.com. We'll have all kinds of links in the show descriptions on YouTube and socials and all that.

But the voting for the wild cards will begin on Monday. And then the bracket, the chocolate championship itself will start midweek next week. If I may, the selection committee. Selection committee did a great job. Excellent. I was a little apprehensive.

I thought I maybe have heard about it already, and I know it will come up, but I don't know if any of you guys really care. It's not for me, but I don't let the eat more crowd. Oh, they're pissed on already. It's very loud, but did not make it in here.

I feel like they and the big Turks are similar. It's like no one likes our bar. We're very defensive about it, and we believe it's the best and they're hardcore. Can I make a stipulation, and I am not a snacky guy, but I've eaten all these things at one time rather. I don't believe the Eatmore is chocolate.

I believe they eat more is molasses. Wow. It is darker and way chewier, and you're right. It's not. Yeah, it's, yeah, it's an excellent point, Red. Not eligible for this tournament. They're playing the NIA this year. Yeah, you're.

Is that what it is? Yeah, they're over there with Jersey milk in the NIA. There's a lot of people. Boomer, I think Jersey milk is discontinued. I don't know. See, this is what it is. This is why we do these things. The franchise might get rebooted next year.

Yeah. Eat more toffee and nuts, perhaps. Toffee. Okay. I do not believe eat more is chocolate. Wow. What a controversy we've avoided then. We've got some fancy pants as mad that Ferreira Roche isn't not in there.

Come on now, people. I like Ferreira Roche. Take off your white gloves and grab a chocolate. Yes. Like, you know, have you fallen and can't get up? Put your depends back on and relax. Like, you're eating those at Christmas, maybe. Are you grabbing those?

for a road trip or you grab like you're not and there's only there's 16 spots like you said we could have gone 32 but you've you've created a great field of 18 potential winners okay retro back to you there is some chocolate in the eat more but mostly it's based around dark toffee peanuts and a little bit of unsweetened chocolate can you imagine the outcry if we would have included and then we find out later oh there's no chalk it's the chocolate championship how can you have this huge controversy. That would be CFLI.

Yeah, do we have two Rough riders in this bracket? It would be very tough. Watch for it. We appreciate all that, you know, everybody jumping in being a part of it. We've got a couple of great sponsors. We're all on veil for the bracket as well on Monday.

Absolutely correct. Absolutely correct. Yeah, we'll do the unveil on Monday. Oh, we're going to get the voting started with this little sneak sneak of peek. There you go. All right. All right.

friends, time to see the news of the day, plus some dumb videos. It's the Pinda Report. Did you miss Honda at the Calgary International Auto and Truck Show? Experience the 2026 Honda lineup at the Honda Showcase at Village Honda. That starts today and runs through Saturday. It's a three-day event featuring the newest Honda models. Best savings of the year. Exclusive in dealership incentives. You get a little spin to win. And of course, no ticket, free parking. You can check it out. RSVP at Villasville. Honda.com for more information. We start at Flames Nation, where we always do.

What are the writers writing about today, Rhett? Probably something we haven't seen in ages in the NHL. The flame scored several times against the St. Louis Blues, and some of them even counted. Yes, that is right, Pike. Three disallowed goals of the Calgary Flames. I love that guy in the blues jacket. Look at that outfit.

My goodness. The blue blazer over the blue note. That's gorgeous. plus the toque well done it's a great photo it is a great photo wow right on the glass that guy had a night

tough outcome but yeah he was fist pumping all those disallowed goals those were his goals the disallowed goals that was his victories right yeah fair enough uh also on uh... flamesy type news look at this fellas

these are what oh my god the flames put out a video I don't. They'll do this little updates on Scotia Place, which is on schedule, on budget, and looking gorgeous. You can see some of the roof infrastructure in the top right there. That's important because, of course, one of the shortcomings of the building designed and crafted in the 80s that is the Saddle Dome. Because of its roof, you can't hang gear for certain concerts at certain times a year depending on snow. Up, da, da, da, da, da, away we go. It's going to be gorgeous. and the flames have a lovely minute and a half tour,

one part of a series where they continued update the progress of the building. What's happening in Marchrette. Get some of the ice or the dome. Yeah, there's no ice yet, but I think they're ready to move. It is massive. There's no way to appreciate the size of it until you get down there. But man. They said it was more than double the square footage of the saddle dome

when you factor in all the rooms and spaces and things like that. Amazing. Toilets. More washrooms too. Gary was quick to point that out. You knew the pressure points of the old. place for sure. Oh, Gary's bladder. He's getting old. He's, yeah. I'll leave that alone. We get fan mail sometimes, boys. Yeah, we do. This was sent to us on the old Twitter machine

yesterday. Someone's been messing around with AI. And apparently, or is it? Well, there's no way to know. We are high kick into the first pick. The high kick to the first pick. Yeah. A new Marvel comic. Not sure if I'm spitting or consuming the beer, but there we are ready to dominate. The lottery. No, I think you're chugging it back. You got your, you got socks under jorts. That's a look. I was wondering what pantalome we had going there, but it's so well done.

I wasn't going to critique it. If we need to high kick while we get ready for the draft lottery watch party in May, well, uh, it'll be done. All new, all daring. Can't wait. This is the April episode. I can't wait for Mays. Now, are you happy with the elevation of your, your right foot there?

Because I know you kind of. It's a low camera angle. It can be deceptive, a little parallax angle here. Yeah. It's like the old air thing. last night. Yes, it's like, well, the camera of the roof, it looked like it's at his waist. Well, yeah, of course it does. Because the camera's nowhere near. I think

we can do better. That feels like a warm up kick. Yeah, it's a low angle for sure. Better with one or the other? And do you? You can all, I can do both, but the right has got a little more flexibility. And if we're going to get to like Jasper Park Lodge Lobby Heights,

we're going to need six to ten of those to wait loose. I don't want to I don't want to cause a stink. But I think those days for you are done. I did pull the groin in December and there's been a lot of stretching that's been happening off camera. A lot of yoga poses,

some vinyasas. We've been cutting salutations. Yeah. Downward Doug. A lot of complaining about tailbones, Rhett and lower back pain. I'm healing, boys, but we're getting better. We'll be ready for May 5th. What is the history behind? You're older now and you don't heal. That's what

we're trying to tell. That's what we're effed. Rett? Shush. Where did the high kick come from? Is it like... It's a great question, Jack. Ryan? Back to you. The history of the high kick in its actual origin is very foggy, but was first spotted in the mid-2010s at various beer serving establishments approaching last call. Seen at night, weeknights and weekends, especially on vacations, and is always preceded by creamy bleeping pints.

Now, is it, and it kind of coincides with a challenge of some sort to see if anyone can match your high kick? So Rhett had this thing when he played. You'd call it stupid money where guys would just put, you know, like, let's see if you can eat to four of these crackers without water. Osabi, that's a great example of stupid money. This is the ultimate, like, we've had enough beer. We now just need to have stupid competitions, not feats of strength necessarily,

but something similar to that. We've had enough that now we need to do stupid competitions just to have winners and losers. And then thus the high kick was born. I think I have video somewhere. The Fairmont staff wasn't as keen on the high kick. No. Yeah. It was it was the high kicking and then the

Hey guys, let's have a high kick contest. Get them up here. Let's see. Yeah, there's some high kicks in Nashville a few times over. There's been high kicks. I've seen it. You know what? In multiple countries and states. Yeah, it's a goal phenomenon. We'll have it dialed in for May 5. I promise you that. We've got a stretching regime. We're lifting heavy to build strength and then we're going to stretch it all out.

It's May 5th the day they pull the... That's the lottery, yeah. Oh, God, that's coming past. Come on. I believe that's going to fall somewhere early in the second round. My third child's birthday is right around then. So let's have a no present. Somewhere there, Jersey.

Yes. Yeah, I think it's early May somewhere. It's your child. Congratulations to Ethan Wittenback. No surprise here, but he does make the final 10 of the Hobie Baker. This field starts with a bazillion players and they whittle it down. When you lead the nation in scoring and you're a freshman, you're going to be in there.

He is, so no surprise, but just a reminder, somewhere in the fifth round, Connie's got the steel of the draft a year out. Will that change? What he turns into, we don't know. But one year out, there's not many in the first and second round looking as good as Ethan Wittenback has in his D plus one season. Congrats. Pretty great.

Win that thing. Let's go. May as well win it if you're going to be as well. Dominating. May you will win it. You like old friends? We've got to say goodbye to an old friend. Tim Erickson's officially retired.

Oh, no. Remember he was too good to come to Calgary after they drafted him in the first round? I want to play for the Rangers. My dad played for the Rangers. You had to bring in Roman Horac. It was Brent Sutter time here, I believe. Is the head coach? Yeah, somewhere in that vintage.

And not only that controversial deal before he signed his contract, but then also was part of the Rick Nash swap. Wow. I want to play New York. I want to play New York. How you like Lumbus? You're out of here. You don't have a no move.

You've hardly played. And that was in the Phil Kessel swap. Phil? Hmm. Three pretty controversial trades over his career. Probably means he didn't hit the ceilings he'd hoped when he was drafted in the first round that we're talking about the trades. He was involved in with stars, not him becoming a star. Yeah.

Never happened. It's also one of those things. First round, a lot first round picks. It's great. Some. If you can draft. We want more griddens and less Erickson's, please. That'd be great.

More witten backs. Less Matt de blouse. Sorry, Matt. That was not fair. It's a stray. Unfair. Here's the month of March. Flames enough three for March, which consider it's the 18th day of the month and they played every other day.

We'll take it. Big homestand here. Another five. Any other March, you'd be like three wins. It's pretty good. Yeah, they've hit their quota. We said it. You're just going to be a show off now if you win again.

Panthers come in on Friday. Tampa, a wagon of a team that's been scuffling the last three weeks, but I don't think we worry about them not being good. Kings are fighting for their lives. They're actually in a tie for the final playoff spot. We'll look in a moment. Ducks trying to bend off the Oilers for a one seed in the Pacific. The Canucks have actually been playing some better hockey.

Like they beat Florida the other night. They are now three, two, and one in the last six, as you noted yesterday. Okay. Then they start a dreadful road trip that has two visits to Colorado. to stop her Vegas, Anaheim, Dallas, and closes in Seattle. And they ain't good on the road, fellas. You're much better at home. Settle down, Huska, settle down.

Three wins. We're proud of you. Let's go to the West standings. We talked about that final playoff spot in the West. Take a look at that. Rett, 71 points. Seattle does have a distinct advantage in the regulation wins tiebreak. They've got like seven more or something crazy. So L.E. is going to have to pass them by a point. But the Kings have looked better under Panarin. with Panarin and under the new head coach. We'll see if they've got a push here and if Seattle can hang on.

Elsewhere, that Vegas club has not looked great. San Jose looks like they could pull it off as well. Yeah, they had a tough loss in Evanton the other night, right? They could have tightened that up a ton instead. Now, the question I have for you, Ryan, because you're an expert in this. If you're at the top of that food chain, like Anaheim, do you want to have number one? Or do you want to play inside the Pacific being the seen as a scene? the Pacific is

I would say the form of the Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights are not inspiring, but you fear that something clicks because we know those rosters are better than they've looked in terms of the star power,

the game breakers, the people that went to the Olympics. Ducks have lost three of four. And Utah, like, okay, it's a good story, but are you, are, do they scare you? I don't know.

Don't know. I would prefer the wild card because I just think when you get a team could, easily have more points. When you get the German and the time we get there. And McDude going,

you can play great and still lose. Anyway. That's, boy, bush bombs. Good question, though. Pick your question. Someone had pitched.

Because we're all talking, we hate this two, three meeting the divisional playoffs. It's the big talking point every year when we get a lopsided two three like you see with Dallas, Minnesota, the second and third best teams in the West

playing in the first round. What if you just let the division winners go one, two? And then it's like, okay, your opponents. Here's the wild card too. Spicy.

Pick your wild card. Who do you want? That would be awesome. Never. Let's go to the East. What happened? I'm with you. It's not up.

Big point for the penguinos in the battle of the top two teams in the Metro last night. That was back and forth. Crazy. Jack, give us the Dan the man update, please. Dan the man. It was a really

frigging good hockey game. how many goals late in that one? Yeah, the third was electric. There were four game tying goals in the third period alone. Jeez. Skinner makes a diving save to keep one out. Skinflut is dialed in Pittsburgh. Kindle scores a beauty to give them a short,

give them a two-minute lead before they gave it back again. He might hit 20 as a rookie sentiment. He almost ended in overtime. Kinnel's very good. Carlson has come alive. Eight points in his last three games. is very good this year. Crosby back gets a goal and an assist, so that's big for them. How are we not on the Crosby December? That's on me, guys, and I'm sorry.

It's okay. We knew he was coming back, and of course he goes backhand to score. Yes, obviously he was going to score. Good battle on the Atlantic where Buffalo's got a four-point lead on Tampa, but it's deceiving because Tampa's got two games in hand. And the battle for the wild card is going to be a good one. I think Ottawa was the best roster of those four teams at the bottom, but they're not getting saves. They had a tough loss last night. Columbus, hottest team out of the Olympic break under Bones.

And I don't know that either or any of us are that inspired by Boston or Detroit. Feels like one of those two will start to turn it around and play well and often be. A clear wild card. Columbus's other ticket. Look at the metro. They've got a game in hand on the Islanders and they're two points back. Columbus doesn't have to end up on a wild card here. They could bump the Islanders down.

There's two pathways for the jackets to get in. Wild card or three in the Metro, even two in the Metro. They're only three back of the penguins of the given hand. I'm starting to feel good about this Lumbus. Like I like, I'm starting to like the Bonds. I know it's not the sexy city and there isn't the huge star there, but they got the look of a, a swaggery group all of us.

Yeah, especially if you're going to look at that group. So why not them? Yeah, sure. You know what I like the looks of? The first round in the Atlantic. Oh, my God. Tampa, Montreal. Marty St. Louis.

Oh, boy. Even if you had Buffalo, Montreal, those two buildings going back and forth? Good Lord. Yeah, that's... I would love to see Buffalo and Montreal both advance. Like, which building would be more electric? Keep those two best buildings in the league?

Those two for the playoffs, I bet in round one. Because you can't have a bit of sag sometimes after round one. If Buffalo, Montreal, if they're in it, it's, wow. If that's round two. Let's go. Yes. Anyway. Bottom 10's where we find the flames.

They're not in the playoffs, friends. They're putting a nice little run on here. after the deletions of Anderson, Cadre, and Weger. Chicago's got me nervous. I got a game in hand, though. It's a one-point gap. And the Canucks, big four-pointer coming up

to close this homestand next Saturday on hockey night. What's the difference between odds between two and three? Two percent? What is it? 13 and a half to 11 and a half? We'll look at the end. I know the second place is 13.5 percent to win the lottery. You'll be happy to know the flames didn't win the draft lottery.

tank athon yesterday. Oh, darn. They fell. Do you need to leave the room today? We need to. I'm not sure I have anything to do with it. I don't believe it. I think it's the Betman math. That's where we're doing beta testing now. Yeah. Just figure out what we're, because we hit it when you weren't here. The only time. That's why I only thought. Only time we've seen the tankathon. I think you might be misremembering. You were definitely not here. Like you were just so happy I wasn't here. It felt like the flames won the draft law. Those two things are not mutually exclusive though. I could both of those things is the greatest day ever. Brett was here. We hit it the one day, remember?

Yep. We did hit it. And boom, were you here? Oddly, it doesn't mean anything. That's true as well. Let's look at finals from last night. Dino's got some intel on it as well. The Devils beat the blue shirts in the battle of the Hudson River. Yeah, I mean, not a lot there.

Good night for Jack Hughes. Goal to assist. He's very upset. He can't have the puck from the gold medal game. We'll touch that in a very upset. Markstrom only needs to make 15 saves in this one. Devils 7 and 2 in their last 9s, so a bit of a turnaround for them. Rangers have lost back to back after a four-game win streak.

This game, as we talked about, was not so. It was back and forth. Cains get it done in overtime. Capitals and Sands, Cole Hudson, NHL debut. Welcome. He looks like a Hudson that you see play in Montreal. Did score. It was into an empty net, but the second rounder from 2024 is in.

Some OV notes. OV gets a goal. it's his 20th career 25 goal season that ties him with Gordy for most ever also his total of 999 career goals regular season and playoffs one more gets him over 1,000 Wayne is the only one with more than 1,000 combined with 1,016 the Sends had 1 5 of 6

big night for Logan Thompson who made 34 saves beggar in this one as well Dallas Colorado Stars win it in overtime. Wyatt Johnson or shootout sorry, Wyatt Johnson, the shootout winner. The stars 15 1 and 1

in their last 17 games. They're now just two back of Colorado as we just talked about. We hit the overtime as well in that 3,65. Yeah, anything after regulation. Codry in six games as an Ave has one goal and two assists.

So three points in six games. Their record, two, three, and one with Nas in Denver. And then the Flyers and Ducks, they go to overtime. Flyers get a, it was a sloppy weird overtime. This was the Zegris return. Yeah. Ducks have lost three of four.

Cutter is up to 35 goals. Holy 35. Leo has 24 in 56 because he missed some time. Another note from that Capitals game, Ovechkin this year has started a shift in the defensive zone. Never. Zero times. He's 14 games away from setting a modern record since we kept track of the staff. obviously if they ice it you can't change and he's out there for a Dzone faceoff those are the only D zone face off he's taken or been involved in it is the most sheltered role you've ever seen in the modern era of the NHL since they tracked zone starts it's good coach zero zone starts under Spencer Carberry for OV in the D zone crazy makes sense though feels like yeah those cloppers from the D zone go don't go in as much no unless you're asked of Sanerson against Mike Smith okay uh we'll slide along to

to Jack Hughes, who made waves red. I wanted to say this until you were back. A couple days ago, he joined Greg Wasinski of ESPN to say, he's asked where the puck was. He's like, I'm trying to get that thing. Like, that's bull ass the hockey Hall of Fame has it? In my opinion, why would they have that puck? Jack, a little confused about what a Hall of Fame is because that's exactly why they would have.

No, I wasn't confused. Not you, Jack Hughes. Jack Hughes. Yeah, not on the defensive. here. Stars and Striped Sundays over there. Now here's the thing. Maybe people aren't keen on giving their own memorabilia to halls of fame. Or maybe they're really honored to have their piece of history enshrined forever where fans of the sport will always be able to look at it. Here's Sal Perez from Team Venezuela. Take the pads and catching. He looks happy to graciously donating.

Well, that's the other side of it. I can't decide if he's offside and wanting the puck, but on the other side, it's like, oh, the Hall of Fame wants it? Yeah, he didn't seem to be honored by the notion that the puck that he scored would stay in the hall, the rest of the season. Yeah, it seems like there'd be some steps to be like,

shit, I want the puck, well, where's the puck? Well, it's in the Hall of Fame. Oh, that'd be like, oh, well, okay, well, that makes sense, as opposed to why would they have the puck? Yeah, like, for example, here's your golden goal. That is in the Hall of Fame, Dean. That is an exhibit. There's the pitcher of Sid scoring.

Iggy. Back in the days. 2010. And even the sticks, he said, was generous enough to donate his stick. And here's the big difference. Sid,

that's his stick. That's his property. Was that Jack's puck they were playing with in overtime? Did he bring it out from his bag in the locker room and give it to the AAEL officials? And that's what our bore Phil Pritchard with the best hair in hockey had to say. Unfortunately, in the easiest words,

it was never Jack's puck to own. That was the IOC. slash HF puck. Not yours, Jack. Congrats on your goal. You had a great tournament. You don't own that bleeping puck. Maybe figure out what halls of fame are about and

take pride in it. Pump the brakes on your dad's personal merch collection. Yeah. Bad look. It's a lot of money, though. You could sell that thing. Is he hard up? I don't think so.

I don't think so either. If he is, he needs to. It's a horrible look. I do think he has backtracked on a little bit. of it today. He's like, well, you know, I'm honored. I just was kind of wondering where it was. So when he said it was bullshit, that was different. I'm saying he was honored. It could be lost.

Sometimes we say things in the moment. Yeah. Oh, he was drunk. I can't be held accountable of these things I say when I'm drunk. Yeah, when just 60, 90 minutes later, we feel differently about them. Weird. Almost like someone might have talked to him about that. You had some movie notes. We'll just... I have one more question. How is something determined

that it goes in the hockey Hall of Fame? Because the tournament that had the fucking puck gave it to the hall. Ryan Pender's going to headbutt you, for your stupid question. Why would Jack have any right to that puck? I'm not saying he has the right to the puck. I'm just saying with what is,

where else would you put that puck? I don't know. That is the place. That is a place where hockey fans from around the world gathered to look at all things hockey, not just NHL, there's international wings. You've got all kinds of incredible stuff from Europe. That is where it belongs.

That is the best place on earth for the puck, and that's where all puck's prior in similar instances exist. Oh, yeah. And I'm not mad at you, but I'm like, it feels like. Do you want to, do you want them to go sit? I'm mad at Jack Hughes and not Jack Haverstock, because it's like, that is such a special place. I work there. I take this personally.

Like, the hall is amazing. You want to see grown men break down and cry looking at names on a wall and merchandise? Like, it's a special place because of the stuff that's there. It's a museum with artifacts. That's your artifact. Maybe the Jacks need to go to the Hall of Fame. Yeah. And get their eyes on and put up a little bit.

Come on, Jacks. Figured out. Jacks. Ovechkin will double back on some of the stuff. Dean noted with just he's ageless. Beach volleyball, gray hair, boiler, skipping all-star breaks to swim with dolphins, and now 20, 25 goal seasons.

Like how many guys can even get to 20 seasons? That's remarkable on its own. And then, oh, yeah, I'm just going to be, he would be far and away the flames leading goals score this year. Yeah. By like, what, nine or eight goals? It's a long time. He's a stud.

I'm still, I'm getting swung song. Like, I feel like this might be it for him. I don't want it to be, but he's not going to be. I don't think he wants to be a guy that scores 12 goals. They can't shelter him more than they have to the point I made earlier. Sixth player. Say that again? How many has he scored?

25 last night. There you go. 40. He scored 25. Yeah, no. It's true. I don't like when we see our legends not effective, but he still is.

And he might have another year or two like that. Who knows? We'll see. Guys over 40 to hit 25 goals. Gordy Howe. Johnny Bucic. Timu Salani. Yarmor Yager and Dean Prentus.

Uh, Dino. Oh, boy. What's going on? Collapse lung. Tonight's games. Give me the music. Dino, let's roll. Oh, my gosh.

Look at the same. late we got here. They knew Rett was back. Let's go. Jets. Bruins. 2.0 Jets. Thrashers.

Blake Wheeler. Yes. Excellent work. Islanders in sentence. I'm going to go with the G. P.jeepjeal. Yes. J.G.

Jean-Pierre. We got the Habs and the Haines. Was this the Kirk Muller bowl you mentioned yesterday? No. It is no. Roller was never in control. Wow, this should have a long story.

This should be. It's true. Around for a while of these two. Whole Famers have probably done this move. Tatar? Yes. He was a wing first, right? Excellent selection.

That's fringe. So wonderful. Rangers Blue Surts, that's Rick Nash. We mentioned on the show already. This is front of mine. Gabbard. Gavarkov as well. He started in there on this and now.

I got a lot there for that one, hardly. We did this the other day. We'll see if we can find new names. This is Chicago and. In Minnesota, we had Hartman, because you didn't want to do not Folino. Donato. Ryan Donato. Very good.

Nice. Seattle and the Preds. That is always stupid. Ely Tolvinant, cleaned off waivers. Bang. Florida, Edmonton. Mathikichuk. Great oil.

Almost. You made signs for him? Render in. Yeah. Oh, no, never mind. That's incorrect. Jack? I'm thinking.

Upshaw. Ray Whitney. Ray Whitney. Will accepted. Lightning. and the Canucks. They always treat with Florida. I can't recall a lot of overlap with the Bulls.

Miller. Oh, J.T. Miller. Nice. J.T. Thriller. They traded a first round for him, Jack. J.C. Miller was on the lightning? For like 10 minutes. He played top line, looked great. Suddenly he's on the fourth line.

You're like, what's going on on J.T. Miller? And they traded him before everyone realized he was a dick. The more you know. Vegas mammoth. Vegas Mammoth. would have been a coyote coming over to Vegas in the expansion draft. Do you want to think of that? That's...

Mm-hmm. That's... Hmm. Next. Circle back. Buffalo and the Shocks. Mike Greer again. Very good.

And the Flyers and Kings. Cusmanco! Flames Manco! Vinnie La Cavillier. Oh, wow. You're proud of yourself. You shouldn't Shem? Twan.

Well, yeah, there was a Carter. Jeff Carter. Jeff Carter's a good one there. Absolutely. Wayne Simmons. That was that whole Swamp there.

That was good. Utah and Vegas, we circle back. Don't want to need help from the chat, but we might need to. This feels tough. I have nothing.

It's not even. Aden Hill. Was a coyote, I believe. Really? Someone searched that for me. Because he was well-traveled. It was just a guy. And then,

finally hit stride, I believe under Sean Burke. Yeah, we're right. Okay, good, we got it. It's getting worried there. Go to work, man. Just give me one second, because I need to straighten somebody out. Uh-oh. Someone getting booted?

No, just. Did we make a mistake? Well, somebody's saying there. Is Ray Whitney? Vanilla Cavalier played three seasons. The better part, well, two and a half seasons, two seasons and change in Philadelphia. Yeah.

And then went to Los Angeles and played 42 games. It was very brief, but he was a game. Someone in the chat saying that, uh, Lecalvi, you never played for the, played for LA. So, um, go sit outside. Wherever you are right now, put your phone or your tablet. Leave your screen on.

Close your laptop. Go sit outside. You get to smoke over there, Red. You just light a jump. Red, what is this is, this is how you treat? At the ones, okay. The sun? Is that what they call a hot box?

Do you smoke ayahuasca? How do you get that in you? What is it? Yeah, well, yeah. Jeez. Spring training is starting to wrap up. We will see the beginning of the Major League Baseball regular season at the end of this month, which means it's getting closer.

We're getting some news. Jays will start the season with Trou Savage and Jose Burrios. Not available to start, both an I are, but we'll be ready to go later. Ditto for Shane Bieber. That's three starters, but that's not the big news today. they have the honored members of the Ring of Honor, whatever they call it there, the Wall of Excellence at Rogers Center in Toronto.

Those things are going to come off the fascia of the grandstand or the standing or the, yeah, we know what you say. And they're going to actually make a hall of excellence. But the big news here, Buck Martinez, legend of the game,

incredible catcher, one-time manager of the Blue Jays. and superb broadcaster, synonymous with the Blue Jays, an honorary Canadian, and a great human that I had the privilege of interviewing when I was in Dunedin one year, also runs the program for the players

that cautions them about gambling and just a phenomenal human that continues to get back to the game. He will go into the Hall of Excellence, August 29th when it's officially opened. Jack, if you have not seen it, Buck Martinez turned a triple, play with a broken leg or double play with a broken leg at home plate. An incredible man,

an incredible broadcaster, an incredible player. Probably just an okay manager. There'll be a triple bobblehead. Buck the broadcaster, buck the skipper and buck to catcher on August 29th. The day after, I think he goes into the hall. Good on your buck. And a great baseball name. It really is. Great baseball name. Great baseball voice. Unmistakable. Unmistakable. And as you said,

synonymous with Blue Jays. Emilio Bonifacio. There's only, that's, there's, there's a cadence. Yeah, it's, he's awesome. Buck is baseball. Buck is Blue Jays. He's an icon. So great to see his name going.

He had a battle with cancer that took him off the broadcast for a while last year. Good to see him healthy and back in the booth to finish the year. And you absolutely want to honor this guy in front of that fan base that will be frothing after the run of the World Series last season. So great, great work for the Blue Jays there. Everyone likes the Rennos out there too. That old concrete bunker is. turned into a really nice

stadium. Yes, the catcher, the manager, and the broadcaster, given away the same day, August 29th, that he will have his name into the Hall of Excellence. I was bitching and moaning about the World Baseball Classic not using the ball strike review, where you could challenge.

When was this? It doesn't really matter. Really? Point being, here's why, because as Red says, you know, these refs, these umps are just idiots. Let's watch the pitch and see what happened here and why this is probably a good thing for the sport.

Boom to fail in the big leagues. Here's Stephen Kwan. Pitches a breaking ball outside. And look what, if you can see a lot of pitches, have those types of plate appearances. Tops this helmet, that's that to use the review. So we'll look top left here. So we'll show the,

oh, middle middle. I am a little word. that we're not going to see managers ejected for yelling at umps as much but they've kind of limited how many times you can do it right there is not really anything as fun as a manager getting punted at a game what do you think the ump was like

confused about things inside for them too spring for them too right he's hung over his hell he was uh did the smoke get into his room like yeah is he high as a kite because that one box the ump's room ahead of the game you might have been at the original hooters in clearwater of Florida, Jack.

This would be the thing. The umps are going to hate this. It's going to be embarrassing, but we're going to get calls right. I was at the Blue Jays Farm Team game in Buffalo a couple years ago, and they were allowed to challenge. Yes, they've been using the miners for ages.

It was amazing, and most of them aren't like that. Right. It's edges. And I think in that game, there was a bunch of challenges and the ump was right almost everyone. Really? Yeah, it's a hard thing to do. Like, if those are the best in the world,

It's got to be a tough job. Well, we are team umpire and team. Yeah, I love the refs. The umpires, they give back without them. We can't, the game doesn't go on. There's somebody's kid too, you know? They're doing their best. Yeah.

Can we somehow make a like a social clip with Rhett just lamb basting officials and then tack that right on to the end? Don't put back me into a corner. I'm not going to be told. So Rett's got this funny baloney story about how he was sick yesterday when we know what he was up to. He was out getting his new tattoo, which is great. I love so. I have the hand.

Big Patty's Day. It's prominent. Maybe you're all pissed up on green beer. Must hurt. Jack. Jack. Come on. It's the loudest I've heard Jack laugh.

Big motorcycle enthusiast. I thought you sold your Harley. I must have been wrong. It's in the garage. We just picked up a new one. Yeah. Dogs and bikes. That's me now.

That's you. Yep. You got a little sidecar for a chunk? Oh, yeah. Got the little goggles on them? Look out. Yeah. Oh.

And finally, we will close. Depender report. That doesn't close it. This is something that I think we need to get jack into. Now, we are limited in Canada because of the duopoly in the sky. There aren't cheap flights. This dude lives in Philly. And he's like, you know, I'm just not really feeling Philly tonight.

Look what you can do with the power of the internet. cheap flights Jack. 4.30 p.m. really nothing going on in Philly. I decided, last second, let's go to Chicago for the night and visit my favorite bar in Chicago. 5 a.m. return flight, we'll just roll a dog at no hotel. Spend a night in my favorite bar. Let's go. Of course, I used my frontier flight pass and my flight was only $15. The seat did come apart, but hey, you know, it's a $15 frontier flight. It is what it is. If I could give any advice to somebody coming to Chicago for the first time, you fly into Midglay every time. It is the most efficient airport.

I have ever been to at a major city. Never a problem, personal. O'Hare, on the other hand? It might as well be short for O'Hare not. I ain't making it on time. Alright, guys, I am here in Chicago. Let's go get drunk at my favorite bar. Now, there's nothing even particularly unique about this bar

except for the fact that it's up until 5 a.m., but I just make friends every time I'm here and it's always good vibes. Now, I did hop around to a few other places, which I will show off in another video. But I did stay here until about 3.30 a.m. and booked my return flight at 5.30 in the morning. Unfortunately, O'Hare was the only option for $15.

So, of course, my flight got delayed, but still made it home around 8.30 a.m. Oh, birds, big heads. Philly! That is Philly Jack. Catch it a quick flight? Or one of your dumb buddies. One of my does. That is not me.

That is one of my dumb buddies. No, that's true. They'd have to, like, kidnap you, but you would do this if you were dragged along for sure. That's elite. $15 flight. It's low. It's something that you're doing it alone. So.

What's his favorite bar? He makes friends there. Sleepy night in Philly. Yeah. Didn't have pay for hotel. Bar's up until five. He left poor clothes. I'll say this,

that you think this is great is the least shocking thing. Because you are the guy who, when everybody else goes home from the bar, you go back out looking for more friends or more things to do. I'll run into somebody to talk to. I'll make friends somewhere. And then the streets are empty and you're like, there's no left to talk to and you're sad. You got to go home.

I've never known that feeling in my life. I am the first one home and I am so happy to be home when I get there. That's if you've left your home. That's right. You're going to get back first. Even the weird occasion I've left that I would be that everybody else has gone home and I'm still out and it, oh, is the night over? Oh. You said they pour till four in Buffalo or portals?

until three close at four because we're going to go obviously one more till four four four till four wow when we can probably convince a few people i know of it four till four it's terrible for your life it's oh i know that's it's a great weekend it's not a lifestyle it's a big it's it's horrible for your life no you don't need to see the sun coming up that's always a bit of remorse of that one we get practice at a lot i just what we'll sleep on the trainer's table for a while why do it I do this. Yeah.

Why? It was such a good idea at the time. So much fun. Now I'm just misery. How's, uh, if you connected with Rob Ray, we got our suite set up for round one or what? We're working on it. Had a guy last night texting me.

The, we have to do this, boys. Well, we have full commitment from some of the group. Dean wouldn't even go to Buffalo to see George Strait. Sabres? Staple's. Or Stapleton. This is a little different. To be part of the Sabers crowd, you have to.

be in Buffalo. I don't want you to defend your country. You can't do that in California. I want to gauge your enthusiasm on the Sabres round one. Yes. I'm, yeah. Let's go. Jack, clear your schedule.

Go to Village Honda first. Let them praise it for you. Start the process of Village Honda.com. There you have it. $15 flight. Imagine if you could just skip to Montreal for under $100 bucks. I'm just going to go. So you could do that or you go like the other way.

Emerald Lake Lodge. Oh. With the Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts. Don't need a flight. Currently at Emerald Lake, it's the choose your weekend adventure. So you can go in, like we've talked about,

you can go and kind of just completely unplug the phones, the digital detox, that sort of thing. Or if you want to go cross-country skiing, you want to go hiking, you want to do it, the weather is.

Snow showing. You got all kinds of snow, but the weather's obviously turned, turn out of the time of year to go out there and be adventurous. If that's your thing. Gentle cross-country skiing on nearby Yoho trails.

The Emerald Lake. Emerald Lake launch. Yeah, Mother Hubbard. She had an empty cover, didn't she? Star checks out. Was she eating curds and way or is that somebody else? Is that a shoe? I thought there's a spider in the Kurds in way one.

Or was that the same one? Sat down beside her on a tuffet. How's a tuffet? I don't know. So stupid. The stuff that we read to our kids and got read to is because what we're talking about. Tough it.

I like that go to bleep to bed book. That was a banger. I don't know what that is. Let's take a look at our bets of the day for Bet365. Hockey fans. There are a few things more stressful. There it is. There it is.

I just hope nobody brings up reading books in the superchats, which we'll be doing short. Yeah, I wouldn't want that to happen.

Did you hear the sigh? Hockey fans. There are a few things more stressful than a close hockey game. One late back check could make all the difference between a chance at playoff glory or an early spring tea time. That's why Bet365, official partner of the NHL offering three goal early payout.

It's the sabers and the blue jackets. Both favored. One at home, one on the road.

Puck line, not money line. We need an empty netter or maybe it's just a blowout. Those two teams both win plus 4.83. Like that number. We've got the Kings and Flyers tonight. Panarin has been rolling. Kempé looks like he'll be back after missing their last game. And Lafrenier coming off a three-point game. Laferrier, sorry, Laferrier, who I like more than Lafranier,

Kempai, again, expected back tonight, bet three, six, five, the early payouts, but also, Kempay doesn't play. No worries. They'll just scratch him out. They'll give you the parlay of the other two.

Good work, Justin. Glad to have you. Two bucks. Two beans. He's been good. He has been good. Three year. Sator.

Handsome Dan. Oh. Shooter goes to him. Ten dollars. Jack getting his hot boy summer in. Remember Jack? Girls love confidence and assertiveness. I think maybe I

I don't know. Jack, where's the confidence at? 8 out of 10. What about what about assertiveness? I feel 8's pretty good. Yeah, it's not a

like I just I think they love confidence and money, Jack, how about that? How about the pocketbook? So confidence, eight out of ten. What about a sort of a, oh, geez, I don't know. You sound confident. Might need to dip that eight.

That was the least confident eight. Yeah, it was, might need to adjust. It's more of like a motivation thing. It's like, yeah. I thought the payoff of that was. Wow, when you can go online and have them pop over, it's hard to go and talk to. Jack, today's not the day, right? It was a 730 game last night with a shootout.

You were taught. You're tired today. And you know what it is? It's not hot boy spring, hot boy winter. We're popping him up. We've got to get him absolutely primed for Stampede. We're right, tuck them under the wing. I don't really like Stampede.

Oh, geez. Zero on confidence. You know the worst. Don't like Stampede. Worst single child from Calgary. Get, howdy, cool. Jack, go outside. We can't.

He's got to do the things. Thank you, handsome, Dan. Brody, 699. Heading to Denver. At the end of the month to watch NBA. Debaugh. The avalanche fulfill a mission McKenna and MLB opening day. Oh.

Any spots to hit up in Denver beside Casa Bonita? Benny's Mexican is a wonderful food. Say it again. Benny's Mexican. Benito. It's good food, really good. I've not spent any time in Denver, but people rave about Coorsfield. As much as that team sucks at baseball, they get great crowds,

and it is an amazing ball. park so do not be scared off that. Complete the trifecta. Avs are a wagon. Opening day, yes. And they get some fun players, the Canadian and the Serbian on the Nugs. That would be great trip. Conjalous.

Casabonita. That is awesome. Yeah. Watch you yokech stare down some guy. Oh, spooky. I'll just say, Brody, careful with that thin air. It'll get you. Yeah.

Cities a mile. high. That's right. Yeah. That's, you're back in. Make sure you have a Denver. You got to have a Denver in Denver and Denver if you're going.

Jack, $10 a chapter until the season ends for the kids. Season ends on April 16th, Jack. That gives you less than a month. How many chapters are in the book? I have no idea. Probably 20-ish. That's not about right.

Brett. Let me ask you this. Nothing a lot of dough. If you are at home right now, would you know where the book is? Yes, it's all my nights. Dude, that can pay your debt to me for the Sabres. You'll take that as my debt? Well, if there's 20 chapters, that's $200.

But you'll take the money that's owed to you and it becomes a donation for the... I don't know how many chapters in the book, but I'm assuming there's 20, yeah. Yeah, but you're missing a point. He owes you the money. What I'm saying is if he reads the bloody book, he will get the money to pay his debt to me. Read what Patch has said. 10 bucks per chapter until the series. reason ends. Oh, for the kids.

Not for Ryan. Not for Ryan. I thought we were trying to bribe you. I would just fund that into. Not for me. I thought Jack was getting paid. He's not going to read. It's right. We have to incent him. I did not read.

Jack level reading. I even said it aloud. I know. Reading is not our forte. No. $10 a chapter until the end of the season. So I have a month to finish the book. Once put into it, Jack.

Otherwise, I'm just a dick at this point now. I have to do it. you've proven that. Your confidence is not at 8. That's the worst. Just not. And you don't like going out and you don't like interacting. I've seen Jack around 8.

He's nowhere near 8 right now. Nobody's not. I saw him at 8 putting on a show at the drop. He was doing just fine. We need that guy back. Thank you for trying patches. I mean, it's all we can do is try. It's all we can do is try.

RJD2-279. What's something you guys each miss about the radio? Oh, getting up at 430 was awesome. I really missed that, you know, go get them out the door before everyone else. Really go get the, grab the world by the tail and put it in your pocket. Fucking son.

What is something? Rett stole some pillows. I like the pillows. If I didn't, I don't miss really anything. I guess I do like breakfast. Oh, those avocado bacon things.

They were available. And there was a buffet thing just down where I would just leave and go get us mass of amounts of food. Then we'd fall asleep before the show was over. I don't think I miss much. Do you know? Yeah, like in fairness, it's very, this shows a lot like what we did there. Oddly similar. Except that you're not waking up a three something.

Yeah. So I mean, obviously I don't miss that at all. Um, yeah. Yeah, I miss Kirsch, sure. Yeah. But they fired him before we left, so. That's the catalyst who couldn't survive. Yeah.

Jay Boy fired him before we left. Peter Klein fired him. If I was being a smearmy prick, I'd say, well, I loved going to, feeling like going to bed after eight o'clock was too late. Yeah, that was great. Yeah. Tough one there, RJD. RJD, um, RJD too.

Nothing. Okay. Yeah. Um, The team, the team spirit. Right. Yeah. Cohesion.

Dead dears. I miss dead deers. You know what? The salespeople, you finish the show. Like here, we finish the show. Close the laptops. So, all right, yeah, that's kind of it. They'd be like, oh, maybe there's some people milling a boat.

Oh, there's, you know, crazy Leon or whoever. You know, you kind of miss that. You finish the show. Hey, I was like, oh, yeah. That's sort of, you know. Yeah, my windshield's got a whistle. Next, how long is this map?

A couple of years. How greatly? You don't want to. Donnybrook. Glad you're back, Rhett. Those chem trails will get you. You can't avoid the damn things.

They're everywhere. What are they? That's poison that they're spreading amongst the world. Poison? So that at some point they can just flip the switch. Well, where do we see the? Well, how is it? In the sky behind the airplanes.

Really? Yeah. So the plane? are dumping chemicals out. I'll have to look into it. That's why we can't read. And I was just right beside the Evanston Airport for like three nights.

Not good, Dean. Oh, geez. Shoot. Sheesh. Okay. And there's nothing you can do. You can't hide. Gets in the air.

Well, okay. Thanks for that, Donnybrook. It's true. Isaac. Pinder is the straw that stirs the drink around here. You can move. because I do drink.

I don't know about the straw part. He drinks the stir around here, Isaac. Was Isaac in with a double? Did I see him? He came in with a blank. He shot a blank. Yeah. At a white. At least the blank was a doll and the other one was done. He paid up for the.

No, there's no question. There's no question. The Pinder is the antagonist, protagonist. Just an agonist of all types. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good. Good way, an agonist, because there are days where we're quiet. I can tell you, there are many occasions where we're about to start the show, and

Rhett will be saying, I just, I just, you know, he's offering out free headbuts. And then the next thing, you know, it's, you know what, Pinder, you're so stupid. Like, I did it, and then it's on. Hey, we all have a role to play on the show. Yep. Not sure what mine is, but I get to hear, see here and watch you guys sometimes. Walking sticks. Yeah.

Direct in traffic. chocolate bars. Keeping Jack confidence eye. I'll tell you, that is one thing when you're, you know, the woman that you live with is a respected and educated professional. Yeah, she's got a title. She's got a title. She's paper on the wall.

People's, people's well-being and lives are in her hands. Yeah, yeah. It is somewhat sobering when she'll kind of walk in. So what are you working on? What's that? Well, I see you're at the computer. What's, what do you?

Flames trade deadline or something? No, I just put together a list of chocolate bars for our chocolate bar. Yeah, this Japanese pitcher said diarrhea and everyone laughed. We're doing a chocolate bar championship that people will vote on their favorite chocolate bars. And I'm having to get all these, like, ask some people their favorites. I'm kind of putting together the rankings now. Oh, okay. I'll leave you be.

See you later. Yeah. Humbling. but both of us serving a purpose in the world. Yeah, absolutely. No one's above another, Dean.

Thanks for it. What's the player mindset into a must lose like against St. Louis? It's a look must lose. Where that damn video coach is challenging it's like he wanted the flames to pick up.

Yeah, they just kept scoring. I thought the flames should start challenging some of those. You allowed to do that? We think our own goal was offside. Please challenge. Pull that thing. the board. It's not an easy mindset.

I'll tell you that. The goal is trying to get the most about it. Yes. Like it's, it's a shitty situation. Now, so I just want the season to be over. That's more for the veteran guys.

The younger guys that haven't played in the playoffs, it's easier for them to keep chugging along. The veteran guys. But once you're in the game, though, retro, right? Once the puck drops, the competition goes up,

but it's still a tougher. Yeah. Because if your mindset isn't good going in, I've said this before where athletes are rightfully considered arrogant and self-centered. Because if you're not arrogant and self-centered, you're not focused on what you need to do all. And so you're not as good as you can be, which only hurts yourself and your team. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Going into a game where it's like, who we've been playing every other day.

We've got 20 more as a veteran. Yeah. Like I think the other 21 hours of the day or whatever are probably kind of a bummer at times. But even just sitting and watching last night, like, ooh, nice goal. That's fine. Offside bullshit.

Like, just as a watcher, you're not supposed to want this to happen. I think the grid and goals are, whoa, it's like you. Yeah. Oh, right. That's not it. So, yeah, I think just being around the rink practices, travel would be a bitch. I love that.

They got a six game road trip coming up. After just being on the road for 10 days. Yeah. And they're not, I mean, they're not getting snot bobbled, right? These aren't eight to nine ones. They're in all of these games, which is again, more credit to them, I guess. So what Rett was saying to be a good pro athlete, you have to have confidence at 10 and assertiveness at 10. Am I reading that right?

It's good traits to have. Jack, we had up your numbers. Let's get her going here. Huh? Not sure how we do that. the, the, how is that it, Jack?

Yeah. How was the show today, Jack? Oh. It's a groggy, it's a groggy room retro. Jack kind of walked in. He was, B,

Pinder can't read and, you know, we're getting through it, though. All things considered, it was a pretty good show then. Yeah. You back here tomorrow, right?

I don't know. I don't like spreading germs around, Jack, you know me. Don't believe in it. I'll see how I feel. Yeah. Don't bring your camp trails in here, okay?

You just stay right at home. That's the first time. I got to look into some of this stuff. You don't want to. Is there anything I can, is there any literature, Reth that you could share? You're going to do some restart.

You're going to, that's how I love reading. It's not going to be good. It's, it's your old Pantaros. A pair of Rett's former teams going out of tomorrow here at the Dole. Oh, yeah.

Panthers are here tomorrow. They're in Edmonton tonight. It's time to end the show. I think we're done. I think we're all kind of camp trailed out. We've done. done what we can do. How is it?

She said show you like the jack. Average at best. What about, are we doing the thing? Guess we should. I had somebody asking me about it today. Like, is that for real?

I believe it's for real. Well, out of a hundred, you'd get 13 and a half if you're always insane. But I mean, we haven't gone in. It's like, well,

this website. Who's put this together? There is a very worried. Every day. Like, we just trust it. And you're like, well,

yeah, that's literally all they do is input the standings and adjust the odds. We think. It's not our website. So they're tricking us? Do you believe everything that's on the internet is? I believe a website that's one purpose is to simulate draft lotteries would probably do it.

Well, again, that's what I'm assuming. And that's why I say, I assume it is we've not looked into it. We don't know who it is. We googled it, found it, and we put it on. Another one for you? Trust Puckpedia? We can go to that one. I've got another comment.

If you're putting so much stock into this spin of the wheel that it's effective. your daily life, you need to find better things. It's because it has gone so poorly that people. I don't think it has. I think that's what the numbers say. I know. They're right where they're supposed to be kind of thing, right? But it's the constant tumbling to four at the end of the, it's not this that we're looking

at. It's like, are we, so not only are we not going to win it. We're going to drop two spots every bloody time. Well, that's the odds thing. We're conditioning ourselves for what's real. Again, we get to May 5. what I'm telling you is I think people think if you don't win it, well at least you're still picking second.

Well, you're drunk. It's the dropping that is kind of the eye on how it works. That is not a lottery. What are the most likely odds? If your second last is it to pick? You want to finish second last so that you can draft top five. But the most likely thing is to pick fourth. What?

Well, look at it. So if the top team on the board only has a 25% chance of hitting, and you add the odds of the third place team behind you to 11. That means, look, you get a better than 50-50, you fall to four. Wow. All those percentages are going to add up to 100. And you've only got 13 to get you in the one hole. But that's first overall.

Right. And so when you mean fall to four. Yes, it does because the only two. That's the math. I'm sorry. Like this is math. You're a better. I'll look at the actual where you're most likely to slot and I'll have for the show tomorrow.

Doing the math lives never. fund. So like us hit a floor every single time is the most likely. Yes, that's the most, the most likely place to land is four. Which I'm telling you, I think is surprising to people. Okay. Yes.

I think people think, well, second. Well, maybe if you don't win, but at least you'll have the second. I don't think people are bracing themselves. Okay, so we'll pick fourth. Who's available at four? Yeah. Well, we'll, I'll provide the percentages tomorrow. That is my promise to you.

Okay. Brett, you better be here for that. I don't want to miss everybody about. Coming in. Here it comes. And you bitched and moaning. There it is. That's so perfect.

And we are probably right on, we're probably above 13% now. We've done it for. Probably around 30 times. You hit twice. It's been twice now. For those that are just listening, the flames pick one,

Vancouver falls one spot to two. Yeah. So we'd be a little under 10% in terms of how we've done. But again, I think we've probably done it around 30 times. You've hit twice. Okay.

There is. There is. Just stop right there. Are you taking it one, Brett? McKenna. Missing McKenna. Cotty!

There it is. And again, you're not even factoring in the list of payments made the Gary Betman. That's right. Our bank accounts. This city, new ring. You know what we did? Salvage the showup.

He really did. Salvaged it. Pull it from the fire. And you all, you don't have to leave the room. You were here for that one. That's great old. Confidence and assertiveness has never been higher. Way higher. If you were good to leave the room today's day, it's good.

It is nice to drink. Tomorrow. I think we'll go out every day like this. All right, well, this patio open now. Let's go get a drink, Jack. Tomorrow game day. Woo! Maybe Darren Greger had all he was at those meetings.

Maybe he'll be back. Maybe he'll still be there. We'll check in. Did it rain in Florida? I hope he's got a tan. I really will be a good one. I wonder if he is. Blakey.

Soldier board. Oh, yeah. He's peeling. Got a moisture as drugs. Will he play? tomorrow? No. See you, buddies.
