Honestly, like I don't know that they like early on it was like, yeah, who they beat blah blah which is kind of the victim of the schedule. It's like you can choose who you're going to play
Starting point is 00:01:24 but like they had some really, really impressive wins down the stretch. They're good. They're good. Gives up so many points. Just be proud. Don't be. Don't be. Don't just so deep. I'm not. I'm not. That's I'm a big fan. This is all, it's all. It's flat fuck Friday.
Starting point is 00:01:39 It is. Yeah. It's Hawaiian T-shirt Day. It might be a big day down with Saddle Dome Way Rise. Yeah. Lots of rumors and innuendos. It does feel like Rasmus Steel is imminent. Rumblings.

That would have been. fun. It would have been fun. We could have done it. We should have sent them a note. They could have done it for us. Whatever the moment, it's never ordinary at that 365.

Yeah, there's a little pinder pepper in the chat. We slatter over to the youth centers of Calgary. That's right. Take care of them. Some foods. Some activities.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Yeah. Our listeners and viewers do good work. Yesterday, what, 10 super? 10. Yeah. Holy. It was first, it was nine, and then so he was like, oh, just wanted to ruin it. We appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Let's go. Let's get it to 10. And it was for the kids. That's fine. It's for the kids. Here in the McLeod Law, LLP studios, always feel safer in the McLeod Law studios, you know. It's a tough, tough world out there.
Starting point is 00:02:59 It's dangerous. You never know what's waiting around the corner. There are guardian angels. Just looking up for us. feel so safe. And you should too, with McLeodlaw on your side, MacLeod-Dashlaw.com, personal business, big, small, whatever legal assistance you need.
Starting point is 00:03:16 You've got the best in the business right here in our city. Ready to help you out. MacLeod-dashlaw.com. Flames last night. I'll take over here, Dean. I was pretty, I was being reflective last night because it's a new year, new me. Yeah, new right.
Starting point is 00:03:34 New year, new me. New shirt. New shirt. great great gifts this year christmas by the way thank dog you're coming uh now i'm distracted it was actually pretty cool to watch backland score and his sister be emotional and he was it was an unbelievable move playing awesome that wasn't unbelievable oh because that's the type of move where you're like man if backland had a little more finished boy he could score more than like 16 a year and that's like whoa where is that like he pulled away 36 and you pull the shit on
Starting point is 00:04:02 your ass what's this unbelievable pulled away actually speed-wise He can still skate. Made the read to knock it off the gut. Shorty. And I'm quite hard on him quite often, and I felt like, geez, you know, this doesn't do a lot wrong. Maybe you should get to work.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Michael Backlain's biggest issue is that he's been on teams where he's had to be a two C where he'd be, if he'd be, if he'd see his whole career, you'd be like, that might be the best third line center in league. Like, he just is a supremely good defender. and, you know, I thought he had a slow start this year, but he's having like a career year at 36. He definitely did have a slow start.
Starting point is 00:04:43 He did. It looked like, oh, boy, he got this two-year extension. He looks old right away. I think I did something like this, Jack. Okay. Go to the full one. Got the, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold me to drink, flexor.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Sign, sign, hands over. Ask me my drink. There you go, sir. That's your cocktail. This is awesome. Look at the, uh, very, very, duct tape. Craig, you want one?
Starting point is 00:05:13 Connie, you want to drink? Well, two-year deals are in. Sure, I'll take one. If we're doing two-year deals, everybody's in. I think I did that. And now I feel like a bit of a D. He might be the best forward.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Which is a total indictment on the rest of the team. Coleman's out now, right? Well, sure. And everybody else, Zary's coming. If you could transfer Coleman Backland to a team with higher talent, it's a perfect line. line. Stanley Cup.
Starting point is 00:05:39 If you had Zary Coleman Backland as your third line on like Tampa, Dallas, Edmonton, Florida has a good one because last year it was like Lundall, Listerainen, and Marchand. Like that might be the only better third line there was last year. It's,
Starting point is 00:05:55 it's unbelievable how good he's been. Like, how do you have a career year at this age? This is Mark Giordano shit. That move was kind of, it was like, that move. Why doesn't everybody do that?
Starting point is 00:06:04 Come in and then like throw the brakes on and kind of. Fakes the shot. Got nicely. That looks like it should work every time. 90% of it works every time. So here it is. It's a power play for the Hawks. Shot, no.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Like that should be how you do breakaways. Just come in, throw the break. Pick once. Okay, which way am I going to go to the blocker. And, uh, yeah. Yoink, bingo. And as you said, the, uh, the sisters there, some emotions.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Crying. It matters. It's nice. And it mattered to him. He was looking. He's like, Yeah, where are you?
Starting point is 00:06:43 Love it. Very nice. You bring yourself something? That's nice. Oh, yeah. You know, Red likes food. Stroll.
Starting point is 00:06:53 This isn't new. Nice breakfast. Yeah, just going to eat in front of these hungry bests. For myself? The hell. So, now again,
Starting point is 00:07:00 we talk about plus minus. It was a thing. It was a thing. Okay, so if you're on the ice, when you score, it's a plus. You go, the game's changed. Maybe it's all weary in your shift
Starting point is 00:07:10 It was her return. It's not the best. Better advance. Not to throw anyone under buses. But some of the guys on the team, Naz of Cadre, minus 18. Matt Cornado, minus 19. Weegs is a minus 23.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Morgan Frost minus 10. Yigore minus 12. Yeah. Okay, this is a team that doesn't score a lot. Yeah. And they're third from the bottom, fourth from the bottom. They're going to get some big minuses. Lake Coleman plus 10.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Michael Backland plus 15. And you want to add another layer? Really? who are they playing against every night? The top competition. So when you have your own zone, who goes over the boards? Like it's wild. They're getting the heaviest minutes and of the best results.
Starting point is 00:07:50 And also, I know we're going to talk about them today. And I, like, didn't bring it up yesterday. I kind of forgot, I guess we got talking about it. But remember last year, Rasmus Anderson was a minus 38. Yeah, the broken ankle he played. Right? And he was talking about, I'm just eating minuses here. I got it.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Last night, plus one. on the season. Oh. So while plus minus may not be the be all end all. It's still a measurement tool and an indicator. And for all three, you can say, yeah, that, that those three guys certainly are having fine seasons and that does speak to it. You guys hit it when I say this, but I think Backlons going to get Salky votes.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Like, I don't hate it. It's just, it's an award and who votes on it. But it's, it's an, I'll say this. I'm not looking for anybody to get injured. Yeah. He'd great if he made team Sweden. He's not, but yeah. Oh, I see what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Yeah, no, honestly. Like if they get down and you're running team Sweden, I need somebody. All right. He's probably not going to, maybe not get the game winner for us. We put him out in the shootout if we get. Checking line center?
Starting point is 00:08:52 But you wouldn't mind having him around. They got too many centers. That's the problem. I was looking at it. Joel Erickson-Eck is like a younger, bigger version of him. He's a checking line. And I mean, it depends. Hey, thanks for, if there's injuries on that.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Anyway. Yeah, so Bax, having a nice year. Having a really nice year. Good for you. You guys, I blame you guys, because you're the advanced stats, because I shouldn't have been so hard on him. I didn't know he was crushing it. Yeah. No one brought that up to last.
Starting point is 00:09:16 So it's not myself. 2026, let's carry on. I'm still killing it. Yeah. knew you? He probably, like him and Coleman have been the rest of four. It's like, I don't know who else to put in the conversation. It would be very hard.
Starting point is 00:09:28 I'm thinking. And I'm like, okay, look, Zeri had an awful couple months. It's been really good right now. Caudria had a hot start. He's off duty of being good. Right. And so everyone else has had these, this spotty. We don't know what we're getting.
Starting point is 00:09:40 And meanwhile, you have these two guys in their mid-30s that are your best for words. This is kind of, it is kind of like the back in the day when it was, well, Sam Bennett was their best player in the playoffs. Yes, he was. But they had a statement of definitely should have been. Right. Their best players in the place. That's due to the thing. Here's the issue I'm having.
Starting point is 00:10:02 It just pops in my head and lie. My day is Hawaiian shirt day. So if I don't want to go ahead. and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans. If I don't do that, then it's all kind of, so I apologize, guys, geez. That's why we all know that. That's why we've been doing it for years.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Fair enough. You were saying something. Back to you. It popped into my head, and I feel like I don't want to say it, but I'm going to, maybe we shouldn't have signed him and just traded him. I think the reason that deal got done
Starting point is 00:10:29 because he wanted to stay here. He had no interest in going. Because I got to think that there's teams out there going, if only I could get my hand to this back, What's he making? Peanuts. You could use a responsible center. Like Christian Devorak just signed like a five-year deal at what north of five.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Like centers are getting paid here. And this guy's going to be hitting three and change. Yeah, and he doesn't complain or why. And if he's your third center, I'll go do that at fourth, whatever. And they finally slaughtered him where if Frost and Cadre were what you wanted them to be. He is your third line center this year. Those guys, Cochman good most of the year, rough patch. Frost is just mad.
Starting point is 00:11:06 We're complimenting. he's having a great year and the cast around him hasn't been that good aside from Colton you know what? Now I am mad at back on this is all spinning around go upstairs and kick Conroy in the shin and tell him
Starting point is 00:11:21 get his S together so we can you could be playing on a playoff bounty. If you wanted to do that he didn't sign that extension this summer that was the deal. Well they were close they believe we'll get to the insider hotline. God that smells good.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Hope you're enjoying it. I don't know who this guy is just some of you've heard of food delivery, right? Fagrant on the street. Right here for us.

Starting point is 00:12:04 Check them out at crystal clear, callagery.com. To the insider hotline. We go and say, good morning to Darren Dregger, TSN Hockey Insider. Good morning. Good morning. How are we today?
Starting point is 00:12:16 Everything good. We're slight panic because Twitter X was down and we can't. We're waiting for you to tell us, you and LeBron to tell us what's going on. So we're in a state of flux. Is it still down? Is X still down?
Starting point is 00:12:30 It's in and out. It's been tough this morning. I don't freak out as often as I once did. It's just too much. nonsense and garbage on there. So I, yeah, now you know what? Obviously you want to get to
Starting point is 00:12:44 all the speculation and what's percolating around Rasmus Anderson. That's pretty obvious. That's a hot topic, not just in your market in Calgary, but across the National Hockey League. And I mean, unless something is changing as we're having this conversation,
Starting point is 00:13:01 there's nothing done yet. There is nothing done yet. But I can tell you that, you know, trade conversation around Rasmus Anderson most definitely intensified as yesterday progressed. And, you know, I think that's why we're hearing and seeing some of what we're hearing and seeing. And, you know, this isn't a simple trade for obvious reasons. He's an expiring contract.
Starting point is 00:13:28 And so whatever the dance is, if they've narrowed down a team, and I'm going to be careful not to mention the team that I believe. is probably most interested just because I'm not 100% locked in on it. But when you're on an expiring contract and you're a player of this significance, I mean,
Starting point is 00:13:51 isn't it pretty obvious the agent would have to be involved and there would have to be conversations taking place as to what an extension looks like, potentially a sign and trade. What does that look like? You know, and then you work out and maybe already have the parameters of what the return is,
Starting point is 00:14:06 is for the Calgary Flames. And you're okay with that if you're Craig Conroy, but a deal first has to be made between the new team and the player to make sure that all of those pieces fall in the place. And I'm not certain that that's what's gumming it up, but I do know with impeccable source as of last night that everything that was being speculated that this thing had legs of getting done in the very near future
Starting point is 00:14:31 is legit, to a point, to a point. There were many who were maybe mildly, surprised that he was played last night. Exactly. I was going to say it sure. The vibes sure seem to be that, okay, he's playing. Well, it's maybe not, but it does feel like that's, again,
Starting point is 00:14:49 we're tea leaves, you know more than we do, but it kind of has the vibes that the trade, the framework of a deal is more or less agreed upon in terms of players. It's now maybe is Rassus signing an extension. Yeah. Yeah. But
Starting point is 00:15:04 look, Craig Garner is not an idiot. Let's give this man the benefit of the doubt and respect that he deserves. He's not putting a piece like that in the lineup if it's right there at the finish line. He's not doing that. I mean, what do you play? He almost played 27 minutes last night in flames. They're not protecting them. They're playing them.
Starting point is 00:15:24 I mean, you know, so when you're that close, historically, you know that they just hold players out. Or, you know, I mean, I broke a signing last week. the James Reimer signing while the Ottawa senators were getting clubbed over the head by the Colorado avalanche. I mean, you know, deals and stuff happens while games are going on.
Starting point is 00:15:47 And it's not unthinkable that if you're Conroyd and you get to that place with the new GM and the agent is on board where you hold that player out for the second, third period. I mean, we've seen that, not often, but we see that. So the fact that he played almost 27 minutes,
Starting point is 00:16:04 now the clock is ticking, we're lucky at tomorrow, right? Okay. What's happening tomorrow? So, again, Dean said it perfectly. We're reading tea leaves. You have actual really rock solid sources and talk to GMs. Just from what I've garnered in terms of like what we're hearing,
Starting point is 00:16:22 whether it's rumor or real. Boston sounds like they've made a legitimate offer. We've heard whispers of Detroit. It's a perfect fit for Dallas. Can they make it work with the money on an extension? That seems to be the challenge there because Robertson's in our office. summer with one year away from you. Ottawa, apparently a bit of a dark horse here.
Starting point is 00:16:39 They could use an upgrade on the right side. Vegas is a fit. And Carolina never seems to be out of these things. Are we missing anyone before? How would you handicap that field? Yeah, I mean, I guess Leif's Nation would go, what about Toronto? And we know the history of Brad Trillovine trying to acquire this player.
Starting point is 00:16:58 But when, again, when this thing was kind of growing legs yesterday, I checked in my leaf sources and they didn't seem to have any idea that anything was elevating specific to Rasmus. So that tells us that they're probably not in the mix. Now that was yesterday, right? And it's relatively quiet right now,
Starting point is 00:17:21 but it could also be the calm before the storm. So, you know, Tree likes to gum things up. That's part of his, of his, of his swagger as a general manager in the national hockey league. So maybe he jumped back in the freight. I don't know. And I've heard, Pender, basically what you said,
Starting point is 00:17:44 I've heard the same thing with all those clubs. I have. And no one this morning from the majority of those teams is denying their involvement or their level of interest. I guess historically I want to I want to drill down and focus on the Vegas Golden Knights
Starting point is 00:18:04 and not because this is inside information and I'm kind of covering my tracks no that's not what I'm saying the reason why I would put them at the head of the field is because look at the deals that this guy makes
Starting point is 00:18:20 Kelly McCremant look at the deals and he has the history you know with Noah Hanofen and go down the list of Tomah. hurdle last year, right? The hurdle thing came out of nowhere. Well, they also have the benefit of being in Vegas, great city, great fans, and great taxes. So when you talk about extension. Yeah. Doesn't have a first round pick in 26.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Does have a first round pick in 27, 28. Yeah. You know, other pieces that could be attractive in Calgary, of course. I would never, I would never. And until someone from the Vegas Golden Knights that I trust says, no, it's not us, then I'm. going to keep keeping an eye on the Vegas Golden Knights just because history tells me that you have to do that. You know, they're in a business collecting good players. And Rasmus Anderson definitely qualifies as that. If you need to take a little social media time out or Texas GMs and break this trade on our show, we're fine with that direction. Just let us know.
Starting point is 00:19:17 We'll give you two. Okay. Well, we're just got a text here. We'll play some music. or Red's a juggler. He'll do some party tricks. He gets in Christmas carols any month. He's really good at that.
Starting point is 00:19:31 I'll say this. We were just kind of talking about it. I kind of looked down and I saw you're in the room there. But if this deal goes down and Rasmus, in fact, has played his last game, it has shaped up as well as you could have hoped for Craig Conroy and the flames. Rasmus Anderson said at the start of the year, this is not going to be a distraction. And you said it, it's a contract year. So he's going to play well.
Starting point is 00:19:52 But the guy is, from what we can tell, healthy has. one of his finest seasons. We talked about it. Minus 38 last year. He's now a plus one player. He's playing 23, 24 a night. His goals, he's... Had the fight the other night. He's going to have a career year in goals and probably points. I guess that'll depend if and where
Starting point is 00:20:09 he goes. But he has delivered in the best possible way for the flames. Yeah. I agree with that. And did you guys ever buy that as his thing continued to drift forward that the notion that he would extend in Calgary was
Starting point is 00:20:25 real or legit? I mean, I would say very, very, a non-zero chance, but I just thought it didn't match what they're trying to do and the market was going to be so robust. I just, if they were in a better position in the standings. Yeah, that would change everything. Yeah. So I would tend to agree with that assessment, although somebody I trust, who is close to it told me yesterday that it still wasn't, you know, it wasn't a dead issue that there. That there was some plausibility that's the track record here. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:02 But that was early in the day and then as the day evolved, you know, the trade talks intensified and got to the place where it feels like we still are today. I was comfortable and I said it on air at TSN last night that there wasn't a deal that was going to happen last night.
Starting point is 00:21:20 You know, can I say that as firmly today? No, I can't say that. I can't say that. And then mostly because, again, they've got another game coming. There's another game looming as early as tomorrow. But, you know, according to our sources, there's still a lot of work that's being done, you know, around the entirety of what make this trade happen.
Starting point is 00:21:44 So the rumor to ask is a first and a ready to play prospect, like someone that's just emerging as an NHL or does that check out with what you're hearing? Yeah, it does. Yeah, it does. And I can't remember where I read it, but I thought somebody, did somebody tweet the specifics of what they believe the Boston offer was? Yeah, I saw Jimmy Murphy and Boston saying lower eye in a first and I'd heard some whispers about lower I as well. He's a big left shot D. They don't have a lot of left shot D like it's ball and then young guys in Hanley.
Starting point is 00:22:14 And they're stacked on the right. Ryan is going to be gone, but you still got obviously Weeger and Bristewicz and Perrek and Pahal and Mews is a couple of years away. Penn State. They've got lots of right. He's coming. Yeah. And look, I happen to be a fan a little right, but it's pretty evident that Marco Stern doesn't see him as the player maybe
Starting point is 00:22:35 I think he could be or might be with a little bit of time. So as soon as I saw it, and I appreciate you acknowledging Jimmy, because I couldn't recall who actually posted it, but I read it, I went, okay, that makes some sense. And then if
Starting point is 00:22:52 it were to happen that way, it would be a great opportunity for Lurie, it would be. Because I do think that he's a better player. He's just jammed up in Boston, right? But if it were that simple, and that was a deal that Craig Conroy could live with, it feels like he would be done by now, unless you've got Don Sweeney grinding with Claude Lemieux,
Starting point is 00:23:12 and they just, they can't get to that happy place. But, I mean, it feels like that's the latest, fellows. I wish I had more to give you on that. Just at a personal interest, because we kind of talked about Rasmus the whole time and then you start getting into more details of it. And then last night, Tucker signs in L.A. I'm like, is that what happens with, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:35 with tree calling it, oh, wait a minute. I was just going to say the same. It has some similarities where it's like, hey, Codroy's going down a path and he throws out that last day. Yeah, you've got these GMs that think they're shrewd. And they're like, oh, you know, I say, and then, oh, hey, I did, so are you going to trade out? Wow.
Starting point is 00:23:52 So I hear it's close. Well, I mean, you got to give us a call. We may be wearing. Where's our best out? That's all that kind of bullshit. Okay, you're just solidifying my argument as to why I'm just keeping my powder dry here, wondering about Vegas. Because that's exactly what McCrimand and the Vegas Golden Knights do.
Starting point is 00:24:08 They let all the noise build around and they let social media do its thing. And you build up hype in Boston and you build up hype and, ooh, maybe it's Ottawa. Oh, geez, maybe trees swoops back in. and then, you know, the big swing and you know what comes in from L.A. It goes, okay, we've let you guys piss around and muck around on Tucker. We're coming in with 60 large times four. Who's top in that? 60 schmill.
Starting point is 00:24:39 That's where we're giving you. Is that good? Will that work for you? Okay with that? No deal. Oh, you want short term? Your short term. Boom.
Starting point is 00:24:45 More money. And it's also so windows after what, year or two? Like, that deal is just bonkers. And J's fans, I can't wait to see ownership of the Blue Jays come out. Oh, we were in it. We were in it right until the end. Yeah, sure you were. That's what the Jays are.
Starting point is 00:25:01 They're the sounding board for where those guys want to end up when they go to L.A. Well, the Jays are going to give me this. Okay, well, then we'll give you that. Yeah, Matt's too. I love it. I'm not being critical of the Jays. Coming off a wonderful year. And I was a fan, but I'm sitting there going, when the LA Dodgers are just kind of looking around and going,
Starting point is 00:25:24 okay, let's everybody just turn blue in the face, exhausting themselves. And then we'll come in and we'll get the player because that's what we do. They get down at the beach at vacation, just chilling out. All right, I'll pop into the office here this afternoon. Get to stuff that done. And then meanwhile, you've got Bobie Shadow says, okay, all right. Well, my deal just went up another 50 mil. You just signed.
Starting point is 00:25:47 I don't know if you saw it, 43 million a year to the Mets. like that's huge. Yeah, Bose is like, thank you very much. That's considerably more than Vladdy on a short-term deal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:58 And everybody groaned at the Vladdy deal, right? It's looking good now. Out of all those teams, too, and what you talk about with Vegas,
Starting point is 00:26:05 that contract and the tax and the actual take-home money is probably, it does matter nowadays. Maybe you get him at eight versus nine in a loss tax. For him, no good.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Ontario's not a great tax. Caroline is. a decent tax state, I think. Yeah, extension may be tougher there. Dallas is friendly on taxes. Dallas is friendly. That's the only other Well, hey, okay, again, Vegas. We did
Starting point is 00:26:31 the regional Leafs game. It was the Marner night, of course. It was unbelievable last night. The last 10 minutes, drags? Holy shit. That was the best game I've seen all year, I think. Well, but you can see it happening, right? Yeah. And, you know, I'm on set with O'Dog and Brian A's and James Duthy. And when they pulled their goalie,
Starting point is 00:26:47 we're looking at that, you know, allotment of talent. And we're like, well, they're going to score. Like, it's inevitable. Even if one call back. Yeah. They score with seven seconds left to extend it into, into overtime. But, you know, doing the pregame and watching Minor walk into the building, I don't know if you guys caught it or not.
Starting point is 00:27:09 You know, he's got the Tom Cruise early day flow going. He's got the shades. He's coming in out of the sun, pulls his. shades off walking into the it's like Vince McMahon, just the old you know it is like these guys in Vegas like we all have vacations and it's like oh yeah like I'm in vacation
Starting point is 00:27:29 those guys just live in vacation living it man they don't have snowboats I don't have winter tires that'll have a heated garage they're fucking living on vacation it's awesome love it what else you got boomer come on some hard balls there let's go no it's just like
Starting point is 00:27:45 we've talked a lot about obvious you can imagine. It's like the Rasmus, does a deal get done? Probably. He's a UFA. He's going to want big money, that sort of thing. The other ones that seem a little bit further away to me are the Blake Coleman and Nazim College. They've got deals for
Starting point is 00:28:01 next year and that Coleman's hurt right now, but until last night, leading the team in goals, 13, but still for him, it's tremendous. They, for the most part, have had fine seasons. I don't know Pierre was on one of the podcasts out in Ontario talking about Barry Edwards and he doesn't really
Starting point is 00:28:17 want he does not want to rebuild. He wants to kind of adapt on the fly or whatever. I don't want to put words in his mouth. And I think for some fans, they think, okay, the Rasp was steel is done. Okay. So now it's Coleman and would you try. I don't feel that way. What's your sense on whether does this is the domino effect or is this just the impending UFA and that business is done and that's probably it? So look, I can appreciate what, what Pierre was saying about Murray Edwards, but I feel like, and this would already have happened. by now. Craig Conroy goes to Murray and Maloney and says, all right, as general manager,
Starting point is 00:28:54 here's what my plan looks like. And he's going to have to sell them. You know, when you're moving pieces like Anderson potentially Nazim Kadri, you've got to have a plan in place. And I don't think that Edwards would actually pound his fist on the table and say, we are not going into a rebuild. It depends on how we want to define the word. I think the days are gone, to be fair, of teams taking it right down to the wood and going through a 5, 7, 9-year rebuild.
Starting point is 00:29:23 I don't think we're going to see that again anytime soon. So you can retool and you can renovate and you can change in transition on the fly. So I believe Anderson, of course, will be traded. I think there's a strong chance that Nazim Qadry has traded. I do. And, you know, I'm looking at teams that could use a little bit more help up the middle of the ice. could a return trip to Colorado be possible? I think it's possible.
Starting point is 00:29:49 If Colorado just all of a sudden moves a couple of pieces and don't get a whole lot back, then my antenna is going to go up on what might happen with Cadry. Pierre has linked interest from the Montreal Canadiens in Blake Coleman. And I can understand that. I know that Craig Conroy is fielding a ton of calls with interest in Blake Coleman. But guys, at the end of the day, you've got to have players who are going to help you stay competitive
Starting point is 00:30:18 and maintain the culture of your organization. And I know that Conroy and Company, the Flames as an organization, feel deeply for Blake Coleman and Michael Backler. So is either player untouchable? No. But if we're talking specifically about Blake Coleman, and if it's interest from Montreal or any other team,
Starting point is 00:30:40 you're paying a premium. You're overpaying to move. that player out of Calgary because that's how respected he is by the flames. It's interesting with Caudry because he had been playing very, had been playing very well. And you still see him he's involved. But after last night's game,
Starting point is 00:30:56 it's now a, it's quite a drought. It's one point in 12. Still leads them in scoring just by going cold for three weeks. But the optics look like there's, it's not the same NAS as before Christmas. Can I add to that?
Starting point is 00:31:11 Just, our GM? Is it that bad that a GM that knows the history of Nazim Kadri doesn't know what he's getting? Like is it so bad that are we watching Nazim and going, you're done? It's over? Or are we watching Nazim Kadri going, we're not very good and I'm having a hard time get going. And yes, it's not going well for me. And a guy that looks like I need a fresh start. It's not helping Conroy ask for more.
Starting point is 00:31:40 No. But he also knows what he has and so to other GMs around the league, right? because has it gotten to that point where people are absolutely not interested? I mean, you said that. No, no, there's interest. Yeah, confirmed there is definitely interest in them. What does he got left?
Starting point is 00:31:57 Three years after this time. Yeah. So maybe you get creative in that. And, you know, if you think of the teams that, you know, again, could use at least a balanced second line center. And I think he's still capable of that, despite the fact that the numbers haven't been there of late.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I think he's capable of that. And, you know, he would be motivated, you know, to go to a contending team. I think you get that. But when I say you've got to be creative, I think you have to be willing to accept that, all right, let's bank on this guy for the remainder of this year in the next two. And then we got to find a way to unload him for that third year. And that's not always easy. But I think that's why if you want to look at it.
Starting point is 00:32:42 head teams that are either right on the edge of being a playoff team. NAS would prefer not that, not that. He'd prefer to go to an established contender like Colorado. I mentioned maybe Dallas. Like, you know, Dallas has got Jason Robertson to wrestle with contractually, you know, as he's expiring at the end of this year. But, you know, they've got money to play with, right? You know, because of injury.
Starting point is 00:33:08 And they have a need at Center Rice. That might be a little bit too much for them because of the, the term with Cadre, but I know there's interest. I know there's interest. And maybe of Anderson, if you get exactly what you need for Asmus Anderson, I mean, you're not selling off Cadry at a discount price, but maybe you don't feel like you've got to hit the grand slam with both guys, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Maybe you can be a little bit more flexible depending on what is actually being offered. Yeah. My fear with, uh, Codry here isn't like, oh, you've got to get this huge return. It's like, you don't want to. be holding the bag when he's 38 because he's worth something now even if you have to eat some money maybe you get a little more but there there's a very real probability that he's an unmovable asset very soon and for a team in a rebuild you're going to look back and say man we could have got assets for that guy and now it's like he does he's 38 and like there's not many players that
Starting point is 00:34:03 are good at 38 like probably less than 5% in league history are still functional 38 and it's supply and demand fellas like you know we can probably rhyme off 10 teams in the National Hockey League that need a centerman, right? Now, some of those teams have drifted into oblivion. Like I think of the Vancouver Canucks.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Well, he's not going to Vancouver. I mean, but what about a team like the Montreal Canadians? You know, they're still very much in the playoff conversation. They've got a real sexy prospect pool, you know, of kids that are right there ready to be
Starting point is 00:34:38 NHL players. The problem that can't Hughes might have is, okay, where's Michael Hage? How far away is he from being an NHL player? But think about this. Like, again, if you embrace what I said a minute ago, and you think of Nazim Khadri being really good or at least good for the next two years, maybe that's a real nice transition window to allow a young player like Michael Hage to come
Starting point is 00:35:08 into his own. And then in two years, maybe he's ready to be number two center in much. I don't know. But I mean, that's, those are the things that keep me up at night is not just the, the obvious information that I know to be rock solid and sound, but you look for the fits, right? And that's frankly, you know, I'm kind of opening my playbook here a little bit. That's how, you know, guys like me end up breaking news is nobody just hands you the
Starting point is 00:35:39 information. You've got to connect the dots. And so you look at the clubs that would have that type of need and what they have coming. And then you narrow the list down based on what I just described on Montreal. And Colorado would be fascinating because Brock Nelson's on like a 40 goal pace and he's their number two center. If you could slide Nazman as your three and push Jack Drury to your fourth line center, like they're already, you're loaded between them and second. But like that's how you really say bleep you.
Starting point is 00:36:05 And doesn't that make a lot of second and third line center than almost everyone? That makes a ton of sense to me. it does. And, you know, again, those are two teams that I'd keep an eye and if we're being specific here to NAS and what might come his way. Yeah, it's going to be fun and not just kind of moving even past the flames players. Which teams think, you know what? It's been a while since we've been able to do this. Buffalo, the Islanders, Detroit, some of these teams that are like, we're done getting kicked around. We're in it. Let's make a push. Maybe we don't win it. But for our fans and for the guys in the room and everything let's let's spend some picks we've been drafted for years yeah and again let's just if we want to wrap up the calgary conversation that's fine but if you're conroy in management there you have to pay attention to what other teams are doing and and the seller's market which trust me is growing this week yeah it grew this week because teams are are in
Starting point is 00:37:06 their their scouting meetings right so they're sitting in their board rooms and they've got their whiteboards up, and they're looking and they're projecting all the needs of the other clubs around the national Ocule. So that's one whiteboard. Then their whiteboard includes all the pieces that they're willing to put in play. And trust me when I tell you that we're not even, as insiders, we're not even scratching the surface of the players who are potentially in play, right? We're not.
Starting point is 00:37:38 And I, you know, so, you know, What is St. Louis doing? What is St. Louis doing? You know, there's Robbie Thomas rumors that have percolated all over the place. But he's not alone. There are going to be other pieces of the St. Louis Blues that are going to surface here whether we find out about it or not. So Conroy has to be, he has to be cognizant of that.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Because, you know, you're having the trade conversations with the team. But all of a sudden, a player pops in from another team to the team that's doing the shopping that you weren't thinking was going to be available. And now all of a sudden, you become plan B or plan. plan C with the assets that you were hoping to move. What is going on in St. Louis? They make the coaching change and make a statement of when a guy like this comes available, you go get them.
Starting point is 00:38:21 That was kind of their explanation of getting Montgomery, right? Comes in, does a hell of a job. They should have beat Winnipeg. They blow it at the end of the game. And now they're very similar to the flames. Is that just when teams that get on a role and feel good one year to they aren't actually that good? don't, it's odd to me.
Starting point is 00:38:44 If you turn around a point at the coach, it's like, well, he just motivated. It was the savior. I thought last year, this was the guy that got Chicago. Yeah, I, I think he described it perfectly. And I just don't think they're, they're very good. I don't. And I think that Doug Armstrong can see that, again, use the R word, either rebuild, renovate, retool, whatever.
Starting point is 00:39:05 But he can see that that's what's needed here. And he's had to go to that ownership, couple of times, you know, under his leadership as general manager and get owner there to buy in. And it's worked. I mean, there's Stanley Cup champions. So I'm, I am, I am not calling out Doug Armstrong in any way, shape, or form. I'm just stating the facts. And that is, as a GM, at times, that can be difficult to do when you've done it more than once with your ownership group. So his level of frustration is high. He made the coaching change, hoping that that would make a difference.
Starting point is 00:39:38 I think that you expected that some of the younger pieces were going to take another step in their development and that hasn't necessarily changed. But let's again visit. This is something that I often think about too. When you've got a talented and skilled young player like Robbie Thomas potentially in play, don't you ask yourself why?
Starting point is 00:40:02 Yes. No, why is that? Why is that? Like, you know, you would think that he'd be a piece that the blues feel like they could be. build around. And, you know, that, again, according to our sources and teams who believe that this man, Robert Thomas, is available for trade, that's the first thing that comes to my mind and
Starting point is 00:40:22 asking questions. Why? You know, I mean, Kevin Sheldayoff after his media availability, when he talked about adding scoring, just said to me, point blank, he goes, the problem with wanting to add scoring is, especially with a small market team like Winnipeg, you want players. you want players who have proven they can be productive players at some level it doesn't always have to be at the NHL level but preferably are under term they had term left on their contract who's trading away a productive NHL forward under term nobody
Starting point is 00:40:54 and you know Robbie Thomas hasn't been as good as they were hoping or expecting but this one's still a bit of a head scratcher for me uh want to get an update on Dougie Hamilton he's Back in the lineup in New Jersey, there was some thought he would not return at any point. Is this kiss and make up or are they buying time? Buying time for sure. I think that there's been enough water under the bridge on this that he's going to get traded. You know, whether or not that happens in season, I don't know. Maybe it drifts into the off season.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Hey, there's interest in Dougie Hamilton. You know, we we talked with the teams interested in Erasmus. Well, you know, some of those teams would duplicate and have an interest in Hamilton. but not at that price tag. You know, so how much is, you know, are the New Jersey devil's willing to retain? And it doesn't sound like they want to retain at this point. It doesn't.
Starting point is 00:41:46 Well, then I think you're kind of stuck. So, you know, he's not a terrible defenseman. You know, by his standard, he hasn't been as good this year, but his underlying numbers aren't bad. And in fact, they might be as good as there is, you know, on that devil's blue eye right now, to be fair. And then they pop them back into the mix. I didn't buy Sheldon Keef's explanation that, okay, Kovacevich is back, and we need to get him up to speed.
Starting point is 00:42:12 And the truth is, we're just deep on that side. So, okay, let's just scratch a 20-minute defenseman. Like, come on. You know, so. Seventh in the league for shots and defensemen. I mean, he's still Dougie Hamilton. And now he steps into the lineup, gets a couple of assists, had an assist the following game. So he's not the problem there.
Starting point is 00:42:31 But, yeah, I think that enough has happened between. Hamilton and the New Jersey doubles, where if he can get yet another NHL reset, he'll be happy to do that. His wife is, I think, from the New York area, which explains why he would have kiboshed the San Jose trade in the offseason. But now that he's had a look at the San Jose Sharks
Starting point is 00:42:52 with Smith and Celebrini and how competitive of that team is, you know, maybe he can convince his better half that, yeah, you know what, Cali isn't that bad. San Jose's not a bad team. Let's see if we can get that back online. We can always move back to New York. Sure. We can always move back.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Yeah, for a few years. Terrible taxes, both states, that's irrelevant. Have some sun. Don't like it. Napa Valley every couple of weeks. It's not a bad thing. You might enjoy it. And chances are, babe, if you go to the ATM,
Starting point is 00:43:25 it's going to spit some dough out for you. Regardless of the tax situation, like it's probably NSF, what does that even mean? That's probably not happening. Credit limit, not an issue on the card? It's just fine. All right, drags, we'll let you get out for it. Let's drag it out.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Okay, something happens. Okay. One tin bit, one tidbit. Alina Solmark returned to practice. He's on the ice and he's on the suns today. Just a quick note on that and we'll let you go. Yeah, that doesn't surprise me at all. I think that, well, what I was told was they were hoping you have them back in the
Starting point is 00:43:56 creases as early as next week. And so that aligns. If he's back on the ice, they'd want to get him at least to come. couple of practices and then go from there. Thank you. Okay, boys. Go bills. I was going to say, football this weekend?
Starting point is 00:44:11 Yeah, you know what? You guys don't want to hear it. It's not embarrassing because it's so cliche. What is the day? It's day 16 of dry January for me. I'm sorry, buddy. I know. And what I've learned is,
Starting point is 00:44:28 I guess I'm not as big a football fan as I thought I was. The Sunday afternoon pub day with my buddies, it's not the same with the fake beer. It's not the same. Well, speaking of which, it was the days leading up to Christmas, and I was going through the liquor cabinet just to kind of, okay, well, let's get some got people coming over. My wife was like, Grand Marnier, like, what even is this?
Starting point is 00:44:59 It's like, what is this for? It's delicious. My sources tell me it's delicious. Yeah. Just not bottle after bottle after bottle. It's a sipper and occasional sipper.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Very nice. Thanks, Drake. Have a fine week, buddy. Yeah, you two, fellas. Thank you. There you go. Darren Driggar, TSN, Hockey Insider here on the Crystal Waters,
Starting point is 00:45:21 plumbing and heating insider hotline. Can't say enough about Crystal Waters. Their guys are the best. It's quick. It's sufficient. It's the best going. And it's professional. When something goes, like I say, it truly is one of those things.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Oh, there's something wrong with the hot waters. You know, crystal waters. Yeah. It's that it's just peace of mind. They'll be there. They will repair it. They will replace it. They will do whatever needs doing.
Starting point is 00:45:45 And it's nice having that in your back pocket, no one. Lickety split. That's right. Crystal clearcalgary.com is the website. Does anyone else have any trepidation? Is that a good word? Regarding the Rasmus? Yeah, that it hasn't happened and now it's starting to drag out.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Now it's like, are you holding this up? Is this an L.A. situation? I feel like it feels like it's dragging us because we've been wanting this all year. But the deadline's in March and they want to get this done by the Olympics. It might be ahead of, you know, the 4,000. Once it starts down a path like this. If it does, if it's not done by Monday, it's going to feel weird. I'll say that.
Starting point is 00:46:26 Kind of Markstrom vibes. Remember that? That's like, okay, it was. Oh, well, who's, he decided he was at. to feed wave and he would wave and then it was this and then I guess oh he's starting tonight that's weird we're kind of I don't I don't think it's that far I don't think it's that far yeah I'll say this and you kind of like trade his ass I don't begrudge rasmus for if you want me to sign an extension you're essentially taking away my July 1st privilege yeah I'm going to think about it well I understand
Starting point is 00:47:00 that that the flames of car that this package is really great for you guys, but I'm not going to take the next seven or eight years of my life and just kind of, okay, I'm not going to be guilted or pressured, unless this is something I really want. I guess.
Starting point is 00:47:15 I just feel like that, well, I don't know. Maybe the conversation wasn't handled to teams that he would be interested in resigning with. Like in my head, I'm trying to think I'm Rasmus Anderson, which I'm not because I can't skate or handle a puck.
Starting point is 00:47:28 But I would have had a conversation with my, my, agent, I know what I want to make. Yeah. Like, so if Conroy is like, hey, this is a Lemieux? Yeah, it's Claude. His agent. What about Boston?
Starting point is 00:47:45 He should have an answer. I think the answers were probably there. And now what's happening is okay, I know that Connie's happy with two or three teams deals and the agent's saying, where can I get the most after tax money? What are we're talking of clauses? I know, but that should be simple too. Should like, I don't know. I don't think I'm crazy.
Starting point is 00:48:02 I just think their conversations that take time and this is what we're probably dealing with the last 48 hours. Like, okay, this team's saying no, no move. This team's saying yes, but there's higher taxes here. These guys here, they want to see, you know, maybe more money shorter term. Like the second round of negotiations is happening. I believe there's a lot of best offers on the table that Connie's happy with. And now the agent's job is to negotiate with the new GM on an extension. And you make a good point, Dean, like when you, Raston Sanders,
Starting point is 00:48:32 never been close to the open market in his career. He signed a massive extension out of, out of entry level and a deal that was incredibly fortuitous of the flames at 4.55. That's probably somewhere around half of his market value. And for one time in his career, he may have the chance to go to market. It's a big ass to just say, oh, yeah, go extend. Now, there's probably places he knows he wants to extend. He certainly knows what money he has. But there's always that, like, I wonder what would happen on July 1. Like, when all this, oh, we, that team thought they're going to get this guy, this guy straight out, oh, there's more castries. Now, we'd pay 10. And especially if it's one of those things where I would like to, I would, I would go to team X and team X is involved.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Yeah. But right now it's team Y because the package is better for the flames. So team X is not going to I would. Yeah. If I don't sign an extension, July 1 comes around. Team X is going to be there again. They're still interested in me. I'm not sure I want to sign an extension to Y, knowing especially now the Team X is in. And I think the Team X, Y offers are contingent on extensions. So that's why one of the first things Dregor says,
Starting point is 00:49:42 this is a complicated transaction. This is not easy trade. I'll say this. For the Flames, and if you're Flames fans, you hope that there's an extension, because it just means a better return. Oh, you're a half. Without it. I think for all parts. If he doesn't, I keep going back to, is the return worth it if Rassus?
Starting point is 00:50:00 So, like you said, I'm going to, I want to go to Team X. I'm Rasmus. But team-wise, the team that the flames want to send me to, I don't want to go there. So I'm not going to sign an extension. Right. Or there has to be 10 there, something absurd. Yeah. Suddenly they say no to.
Starting point is 00:50:15 I mean, sometimes, yeah, like, but sometimes there are teams where it's like, well, Buffalo will give you 12. Oh, wow. Like, there might be, the point I'm getting at is when does return for Rasmus Anderson, because he does have a lot of say in this because of this extension, extension thing. When does return become so brained in that they turn around and go, well, screw it, we'll sign you. I think what you're hoping is happening here. Drager said that. Up till yesterday was part of the conversation, didn't he?
Starting point is 00:50:51 Well, there was people surprised he played last night. That's how close this thing. No, no. What I'm saying is that I feel like Drake's, remember, concussed a lot, said that he asked us, did you think there is any stick? chance still that he might resign in Calgary. And I'm like, well, yes, but only if the team would be. And I think he was saying, if we played it again, that he was hearing
Starting point is 00:51:18 up until yesterday, that this was still an option. Yeah, and it is. Yeah. And you wanted to that is, oh, I would say we're still two million a year apart. Yeah, but I like Calgary. Yeah, but if you're not okay, let's put that hat on. Right. All right, Craig, what do you do? We're two million a part and you're only getting a player because I'm only extending in Vegas and whether Vegas knows it or not. You're describing the Haniffin situation, which was really tough.
Starting point is 00:51:48 And I think what actually is happening here is you've got a list of four or five places that Rasmus is okay to extend with. And you've got, how do you know that? This is my feel on it. Okay. Because again, when we talk to them, it's like Boston, Detroit, Dallas, Ottawa, Vegas, Carolina, Toronto.
Starting point is 00:52:01 I'm sure he's not extending in all those places. But I'm sure Craig has a list of more than one team of where Rassman. wanted to go. And the way he talked about this transaction in the summer was, you know, if this is going to happen, there's clearly a place he'd like to go and he knows that that's going to be good for both sides. Three parties win if this deal gets done the right way. It's an extension for the team that gets them. It's a good return for the flames. And Rasmus goes somewhere he wants to go and gets the long-term deal. I think that's what they're working at right now. I don't worry as much as you do about sort
Starting point is 00:52:31 of the doomsday scenario of, well, there's a great package here, but he won't extend there. going to go here, but they're offering shit. I don't feel like that's what's happening or I don't, if it, if it was, I don't think it feels so hot. It's just not. It's less. It's the okay. And again, this is all just feel. Yeah. But the tea leaves feel like if that, what you're describing was happening, this isn't close.
Starting point is 00:52:52 You've still got till March 6th. That's why I'm saying, I'm getting crepitation because it hasn't completed. It feels like if Vegas was involved and Rasmus had said he wanted to go there and Craig was excited about it. All these rumors were out there. and maybe that's today, right? We don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Sure, a lot of smoke further than me. There's so much smoke. If this wasn't close to a deal that makes everyone happy, there's not this much smoke, is my feel. Yeah. Which is why I wonder if it's Rass was doing the, is this where I'm going. Rass was might have said, I'm going home to talk to him.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Is he married? Oh, yeah. I'm going home to talk to my wife. Yeah. And to be fair, like you, like you always say, These conversations probably will happen in the summer. Well, and they're traveling today. They spent on Chicago and fly home today. It's good for that.
Starting point is 00:53:43 That's my understanding. They're on the ice at one tomorrow. That's interesting. So maybe they're in the air right now. Yeah. Who knows? It seems dumb to me. Just stay there?
Starting point is 00:53:53 I said it. They've done that before, right? The last game of. Well, it's an hour earlier. It's really not that far. The state in Nashville. Yeah, they've done it. It's not, I'm not the sleep doctor.
Starting point is 00:54:02 It was the end of Florida. I was. Sorry, right. No, like it's odd, but I'm sure they have reasons and they know more than we do on this stuff. Although I would like to see right in that chair. How many doctors do you think you could replace? Thousands. Come in here.
Starting point is 00:54:16 So what do you do? Sleep. Get out of here. What are you doing? Your nutrition? What was that? Who's that? Mele in Argentina?
Starting point is 00:54:25 Is that where that guy was? Where he brought out the chainsaw, the new president? He's like, what's this division? Shubber down. You're going. What do you guys do? You're out of here. Yes, I'd clean house.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Murray, you want me to save you some dope? I'm in. Hey. There's the Pike here. They changed their scheduling scheme this year, mostly staying over after road games. Who cares? That's good insight.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Thank you, Pike. Thanks, Pike. Really? That was me pushing Pike in front of the bus. I'm sorry, Pike. It's my fault. Dean knew exactly what he was doing. Oh, that's kind of kind of went rough for Pike.
Starting point is 00:55:06 I had no idea that would. Like similar with how the show rolls. It's happening there. Hearing loss clinic. Hearingloss.C.A. Bobby, how's your hearing? Huh? Yeah, see?
Starting point is 00:55:19 Jesus, Bobby, get in there. I'm tired of people not paying attention, not looking after their ears. It's all you got. Let's go, come on now. You only got so many senses, Dean. You want to keep mall and run in order. Five locations in Calgary.
Starting point is 00:55:32 There's the Chinook one over by the old mall there, McLeod and Glenmore. Five in. BC, there's no excuse. And as we sit here, we're all getting older in that. Well, gosh, you know, you feel it when your hammies are tired, your back sore, this or this or that, you don't know when, oh, my, I have less hearing today. I'm hearing less than I did two years ago. You don't have that kind of. There's no gauge for that. That's where the hearing Loss Clinic can come in. They can help with a lot of, just a lot of things in life change when
Starting point is 00:56:09 you can't hear. Socially. You're watching television. It's like, why is it TV so loud? Is it loud? I had no idea. Yes, it's very, geez, why is the radio? What are that concert? Yes. How loud are your headphones? What is going on? It's a thing. Study show health risks like, Dementia, depression, others linked to untreated hearing loss. Maybe you need better hearing protection for the works workshop, wherever you are. Maybe you're got a in the wood, you know, you're a cobblum, building those. Argentina, you got a planer, you know, you're chopping with the chainsaw. That's right.
Starting point is 00:56:48 It's better ear protection. Musician molds, in-ear stage monitors, and just more than anything else. Kind, thoughtful, and brilliant people to help change your life. Hearing loss.ca, book an assessment. You go in, it's like, oh, well, everything's fine. Perfect, great. Peace of mind. That's the desired outcome, I would think, more than anything else.
Starting point is 00:57:09 But if there's something that is just not quite right, then you're in the best hands possible. Hearingloss.com. Can't see enough. I'm going again. Good. It's time. A couple years. Grab that guy.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Take him with you. Huh? Somebody. See? Didn't hear me. Didn't hear a thing. Not. Oh, he's so focused.
Starting point is 00:57:28 He's watching. probably right watching rasmus highlights he's got his burners he's making a rolling down his face rassus trade rumors spewing him out onto socials insider with six hours yeah rassmas dadminton and that's just it hasn't been a flat fuck friday no what's wrong there's too much emotion yeah yeah this has not been a lay just kind of mail it in friday this we're we're very on top of pins and needle yeah jack's yelling at me might you get your computer uter out because Drake said I can't do this. Jeez, Jack, stop yelling.
Starting point is 00:58:07 Give me your picks, Warner. Sorry, the Steelers aren't playing this weekend. I'm sorry. Did you not eat again yesterday? Are you fasting, Jack? No, I ate. I had a steak, nice steak with some eggs. That's his go-to.
Starting point is 00:58:20 I'm noticing. He's a carnivorea. I've really gotten the steak and eggs going. Any time of day or? Usually around 5 o'clock. Carnivorian, eating once a day. fasting on Mondays. I'm locked in, retro.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Ada boy. Ada boy. I feel like I could maybe pull off the noodles deal more than the whole day. I can do the eight hour block. That's when you do you're eating the rest. You're not eating. No snacking.
Starting point is 00:58:52 The writing was on the wall early around lunchtime on Tuesday that this was not going to happen for dude. Yeah. It's not. But I'm hungry right now and you're, Tomorrow? No. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Because I feel like you want to have a good base. You want to have a good meal on the Sunday if you're fasting on Monday. It's like I'm awfully hungry. What did you have yesterday? Well, I had like a handful of nuts and a banana last night. Well, that's not going to be enough to carry you through till Tuesday at lunchtime. You'd be an idiot. You'd be heavy ketosis.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Or something. Into the red. Well. Yep. Yeah. Let's get this deal done so we can stop. Yeah. Right?
Starting point is 00:59:37 Like just. Just in. Then we can start getting upset about the return and be like, who is this guy? I'm about to drive down a saddle. Don't rise way. He used to be a forward in Russia. What? What is he?
Starting point is 00:59:49 The best player not in the wear? Oh, no. They said he's a center? Well, he was a righty, and then his hand got chopped off. Oh, dear. So now he's an. Oh. That's not ideal.
Starting point is 01:00:02 It's the Pinda Report, friends, for our good pals of Village Honda. Gosh, it feels like spring out there. But it sure isn't. This is the psychotic Calgary winner. What you need is what they've got up there with their winter ready SUV event. Four by fours, all-wheel drives, the vehicles you need for our schizophrenic winters here in Calgary. Check the inventory of VillageHonda.com or get up to the Northwest Auto Mall to get yourself into the left front seat, the driver's seat, Dean. Take one for a test driver.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Let's go. We start a Flames Nation where everything is Rasmus. Anderson, Rasmus, Rasmus, Anderson, Rasmussen. Andersman, Rasmus, everything. This from Pike. Flames want this down before the Olympic freeze, so does Rasmus. That's being widely reported. We're also hearing that there was even some shock he played last night in the finale
Starting point is 01:00:50 of their five-game road trip, suggesting this thing is close to across the finish line, or at least it was. We'll see. As for the insiders, here's Pierre Lebrun. Things have heated up on Rasmus front. Wasn't held out last night, but since his talks have intensified, let's see where it goes over the next 24 to 48. That would believe us from this morning.
Starting point is 01:01:13 So they play at one tomorrow. We asked everyone yesterday. We'll redo the poll. Yes or knows. Is Rasmus traded by puck drop tomorrow? Jack? No. Dean.
Starting point is 01:01:24 I'll say yes. Rett, I think. I'll stick with what I said yesterday, Which is yes. I don't know. Okay. You did say yes, but many concussions. I'll switch my answer.
Starting point is 01:01:32 I'll say yes now. Jack and I both switched. We're wishy-washy. No, I said no. Who said no yesterday? We're all in a yes. So everyone flipped except, uh, except, Redd doesn't remember. I'm not flippery flopper.
Starting point is 01:01:44 You just don't remember. I hate pancakes. Yeah. Waffles preferred? Yeah, probably. Yeah. Don't be waffling on this one. Rank it.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Yeah. Pancakes, waffles, French toast. Brett. I don't eat any. I know you don't. I'm going the opposite of how you said it. French toast, waffles, pancakes. Ditto.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Jack. And now I'm not to talk about no. Because I'll just say, I'm the same way. I'm French. I'm no G.D. Wonderbread. I want nice. Texas toast. I'm pancakes one.
Starting point is 01:02:24 Pancakes one, French toast, two, waffles. You know what that speaks to? I'm not going to criticize him. You know why? Feels like a criticism. Because he's a fucking infant. It's a child. We've allowed him to speak.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Nice if you didn't take a run out of. Appreciate you. Sorry for swear. Easing off there. Yeah. That's what the kids would say. And I feel like the least consumed of the three is the French toast. Correct. Sleeping on French toast, everyone is so good.
Starting point is 01:02:50 Yeah. God, yeah. Gosh. Because pancakes, it can be so heavy. And a lot of them, unless you drench them in syrup, it's like, it's dry. It's a vessel. Just gross. The waffle? Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:01 it would just because it's christi i would rather use a pancake to make a sandwich than just eat the damn pancake and i don't want that either if you made the pancake oh now i'm on to something let's go if you made the pancake and then you had a nice cold cut combo some cheese maybe a little spicy mayo in there and the aolic and then butter and then you Panini press that. Shit show. With a bowl of soup? That's a sweet bread.
Starting point is 01:03:38 That's cool. And what if you put some kind of seasoning or spice in your batter before you make the pancake? Some pender pepper. Do you put a little pender pepper in there? I think pepe. That's what they're going to call me. Yeah. Something like that.
Starting point is 01:03:53 They call you a lot of things. Sorry, Chad. I'd be the nicest I've heard. But yeah, the waffle, crispy, but yet still somehow nice. If you eat it fresh, right, it's still going to be kind of nice. Textures. It's phenomenal. Soft in the middle.
Starting point is 01:04:04 And then the French toast. It's light. You don't need to smother it and slather it. Getting some protein in for rent with the egg there. Eggs. Yeah. Back to me, Dean. All right.
Starting point is 01:04:17 Flames Nation. We've already seen them right up on a potential Boston trade, a potential wings trade, a potential stars trade, a potential Vegas trade. Well, add it to the list, a potential Ottawa Senators trade. No chance. I agree. I feel like. like it's probably one of his six you wasted your day pike poor pike well i'm just
Starting point is 01:04:38 he's up at 5 a m publishing this article and you're running a research and right that we we see the head lies like bah no it's he's doing what it would look like but it ain't gonna happen not going on i want you could read the article talking coming up tomorrow what could a rasmus adderson trade with the okotokes oilers look like i love tyler dice the team he's got going down there joe go juno's boy he wants to bring up that uh Blue cheese pizza. Oh, shut the front door. All the insiders are saying this is something to keep an eye on.
Starting point is 01:05:11 We could play more and more and show more and more. But it's just right now this is hot. We'll see if it cools off or if it gets done. Meanwhile, not be gridden, not recalled by the flames. It's hunting season. Dryden Hunt was up last night. But still good news. Off to the All-Star game.
Starting point is 01:05:27 Boy, kid. Hey, man. You're an All-Star. Get your game on. Get to something. Go play. Get a hand. You're an Austin.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Then with the French toast, better to waffles, squirce and pancakes. Put some sausage on it. Where is this an all-strike game? We should go. You don't want to go.
Starting point is 01:05:48 It's in Rock. Cotoges. It's in Rockford. Oilers are hosts in Rockford, Illinois. Rockford, Rockford. It's a dump. But the bears are there. That's close to Chicago's in Illinois.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Yeah, it's about a two hour and a two hours, I think. It's a dump. You remember the Rockford Files, Jack? No. James Garner? He was dead. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Good. Back to you, Ryan. Thanks, Dean. Back to me. 19-year-olds, having a great year. Almost a point per game is one of the younger players in the league. Good for him. Make some trades, move out with some wingers, call this kid out for the spring.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Let's go. Come on, Connie. Get her done. We brought us out yesterday. Only because it was hunting season. That's right. Go get him a hunt. Bottom 10.
Starting point is 01:06:26 Let's take a look. Tough night in the inverse standings to the flames. Not good at all. Winnipeg had a win. you had 31st. Right there. Frere you. Blocked brother.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Now all of a sudden you're in a tie with St. Louis? Well, and you're not far back of Chicago? That was a four-pointer. Perverbrivial four-pointer. Yeah. They didn't look very good. Damn it.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Can I get a goddamn it, please? I suppose. I mean, God damn it. Thank you. We'll have to do a tankathon at the end of the show today, Jack. Don't forget, please. Thank you. Mentioned it.
Starting point is 01:06:58 No, it's your fault. Some finals from last night. Let's get to it. Man, the savers are legit. It looks like fellas. That's a win over a very good Montreal team. Just as a side knock. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Tage Thompson, I believe, had five points last night. Three and two. So good. How'd they get him? Ryan or Riley deal. Oh. Yep. Just saying.
Starting point is 01:07:20 They also got a first rounder in that deal that looked like he could be first overall in January and ended up being 32nd because the Blues won the cup that year. Tough. Josh Done, another goal and an assist? You've been so good. Better than you could have been. Imagine. It was 15 of 17.
Starting point is 01:07:33 Eight wins since the Christmas break. Only Tampa has more. I thought his dad was overrated. And his kid was underrated, but they're both good. Shane taking strays. Shane don't overrated. I'm Rhett Warner.
Starting point is 01:07:47 Join me on Barnburner. Really nice, hardworking, does everything, fights. Overrated. Like the sweetest guy. He's a happy citizen. He actually, He actually said nice things to me.
Starting point is 01:08:03 Oh, right. Take that back. Can you take that back? It was a joke and he knows that he can. He's like, get it back. He's a gust of Canadian boy.
Starting point is 01:08:12 Dan, the man's got the penguins back on track. Jack, you've got to be so proud. Soiling themselves against Cooley on the weekend. I can't decide. Do they get her bad? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Oh, weird for a Pittsburgh fan. Be indecisive. The flyers have lost five in a row now. Outscored 25 to 9. And Vladar left two games. ago. That could be an issue. This Sam Erson? Erson's not in there. No, and they got a big Russian as well. Your kid could play.
Starting point is 01:08:37 Oh, he played like last night. Yeah. Shut the door. Colosov, I think's the other guy. He's also not there yet. Big young, not good yet. No, boy, no. Sharks get a big win. Celebrini made a player, fellas. I'm going to show you after we get to the scoreboard here. Unbelievable. Oh, hurry.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Unbelievable. They beat the caps. Canucks putting a clinic on. They are just perfecting the art of looking like dog shit. 4-1 loss in Columbus. Seattle. loses in Boston. Jets keep winning. That's a big win in many. Quintasota. Four in a row. Wow.
Starting point is 01:09:07 Wild have lost five of six. They're going to meet tonight. Another deal. Other finals, the Utahs are rolling a bit as well. Vamelka. I think he was obviously only allowed one, but very good there. 26.
Starting point is 01:09:20 The stars kind of mucking at a boat. And if you think Vamalka was good, you didn't see Ilya Sorokan, who was sensational against the oilish. 36 save, 37 save shit. 35. shutout just tough to go up to the hippo tank you're thinking oh it's the it's the old rematch of the early 80s finals well the last goalie to pitch a shutout in edmonton for the islanders was
Starting point is 01:09:42 billy three finals so that's a while ago in a while uh again we talked about him in the futures for the vesna at least five shutouts leads the league for syroca and it's weird like i modded up to dregs just the islanders are a team you're middle of the pack and they're in a playoff spot in the east They are four, one in one in their last six. The kid is unbelievable in the back. Unreal. And the goalie's great. Why not?
Starting point is 01:10:06 Yeah, it's time. Why not? And the Leafs blew four, two goal leads. They were up two one, three two, two, and five three. And could not close out a win. It was the second and two nights for Vegas, but you felt the tilt in the third. Vegas, no question.
Starting point is 01:10:25 It was going to find a way to get this game to overtime, and then they won it. Marner, Stone, Dorafeyev, Eichel, all excellent down the stretch. It was only a matter of time that they were going to win that game. I've got a Warner Whiteboard to come up out. Excellent. Great stuff from this game last night. I wanted to show you the Celebrini play.
Starting point is 01:10:43 This is a goal against the Capitals last night and a Sharks win. They remain relevant in the West playoff chase. Watch this behind the net. Celebrini loses it, gets hammered, steals it back, spins around through the legs. Tuck. This is Sid Jr., boys. I like the one How many times
Starting point is 01:11:00 Is he Okay well you don't have it You have it but then Oh you got bodied off the ball Plays over Like still Oh just a behind the back Between the legs to the tape
Starting point is 01:11:11 To the slot Unbelievable stuff I'm celebrating Not a very physical play there by number three Me kind of Yeah Okay I showed you Well
Starting point is 01:11:24 It's the Energizer Bunny You're gonna have to put them to the ground I mean, I'm not the guy Whiteboard That's how they teach the kids these days Like that's the biggest hit that guy through In the whole game and it's He's proud of it
Starting point is 01:11:40 Yeah, look at me, I crushed Celebrini I'm gonna stand here and look at him for a second Now that being said in the old days You were really allowed to Oddly enough I was talking about this with my kid last thing You'd have pinned him, hooked them, throwing him through the ground Hog tied him and then Campbell clutched them Yeah, and no penalty.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Forearmed to the back of the head right into the glass pin him there for a bit stole his wallet Tested his right there you're gonna go right on top of them maybe the Boston crab whatever You're gonna do so figure four yeah unreal you wanted to show a play you said yeah was we can do it Do you want to do it now or after the Pender one whenever you are best equipped to I'm I have it loaded right let's do it right now Okay so it was the leifes taking on the the the golden nights the marter ball So this is This is overtime These old TVs are tough
Starting point is 01:12:30 It is tough yeah So we can watch it But it'll be the You can go Jack You can it'll be the When they show the replay That is kind of where I want your reaction So again it's there's a bit of a breakdown
Starting point is 01:12:43 So you see the gold sweaters There's three of them There's a white one very slowly getting back in there Yep Are you injured? So no you can let it go Jack because I did a bit of editing. I wanted to because it's like
Starting point is 01:12:59 Eichols by himself. Is there no one? And he's not sprinting. Yeah. So as the play, you'll see here now. Let's take you back. So right behind the net, there's Austin Matthews. Hold on one. And Eichol. So it's a one-on-one. And Matthews sees the puck going the other way.
Starting point is 01:13:18 He's the, how should give a shit. What? that that speaks to never winning a cup of Toronto with that guy's your cap so that's the part I'd like to go back to it's just that the angle from the end of the rink yeah and both of them are kind of flat foot it's not like Ikel's well that's just it like it's not like you would have really had to sprint nope you just had to have try a little just a little bit how do you and just back it up a little jack he offensive guys will cheat for the offense there is no
Starting point is 01:13:53 question who has control of this puck and that your team may get it and throw it out. Yeah, you don't think Austin's waiting there. It's like, oh, we're close to a turnover. I'm going to be like, you, there has to be some hockey sense and read to. I'm, I'm going to cheat it a little bit because I think my guys might be able to get it up to me. And I'm probably thinking the same thing. I got to make sure that I don't lose Austin behind me. But then he sees, oh, we got the. Oh, we have total control. I really like this defenseman or if it's the defenseman with the swing and right. It's Morgan Riley. One guy's trying really hard.
Starting point is 01:14:27 It's kind of like that French toast waffles pancakes. Who's trying the hardest to least hard? Well, Vegas is. I love that. I mean, Matthews isn't in the shot and does not. He's a full zone behind. Take a hard stride the entire way. This finish, by the way.
Starting point is 01:14:47 We just gloss over because it's Ikel. That's dirty. Yeah, there was no question. It's going. It's in. Sorry. Zip. Captain.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Yeah. See the other captain? That's a guy that wins. They're going to be teammates in Italy. I know who I'd prefer in overtime. Who's going to be teammates? Eichl and Matthews. I'm talking about Stone's the captain.
Starting point is 01:15:16 Oh, shoot. Sorry. I thought I was talking about Iko with the finish. My bad. But there must have been something there. Oh, to see Matthews is injured. You can see there.
Starting point is 01:15:23 It took a huge blow behind the net. pleasure, eh? From Eichael. Ikel crushed him. This morning, good news for Sends. And that's just these fools in their basements on the internet. These trolls, these sad people making up rumors.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Oh, we can put all that to bed because Lena Sloan's back with the sentence. He's back. Tonight's games, we'll take a peek. Play the game. Not a lot of games tonight. Friday's usually a pretty light. Yeah, I'm not watching today. You're not watching? Too much going on, eh? Cronwell? Did he even see a shark?
Starting point is 01:15:58 No. Wings sharks. Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Easy here, Dean. Wings sharks. Oh, there's a ton. Mike Reaching. Larry Onov.
Starting point is 01:16:09 Yeah, good. Okay. Pantaros, Cains. Brett Hedekid. Thank you. Tampa St. Lou. Pat Maroon. Yep.
Starting point is 01:16:18 Nashville, Colorado. Wedgwood. Yep. And Ducks King. Don't do. Yeah. Don't do Perry. Because we just did that one.
Starting point is 01:16:26 Yeah, that's right. Ducks King. Do they play every night? What the, what's going on? It feels like we're constantly. Ducks. That's a really good game.
Starting point is 01:16:34 O'Donnell? Yeah, Sean O'Donnell. Great pick. Well done, boys. Flew through it today. Did O'Donnell play for the Kings? Yep. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:41 I played against Sean O'Donnell on the old forum. Red, if you were forced to watch one of these games, what would you watch? The last one. Like the time. Last one. Yeah, I'd be into Florida. Actually, there's some decent games.
Starting point is 01:16:55 Florida, Carolina would be all right. Nashville's trying to play. and Colorado's worth watching on their own. Tampa Bay's won, what, 11 or 12? They're going to be St. Louis by 1,000 goals. Yeah, they're going for, I think it's 12. 11th. Yeah, it's a franchise record anyway.
Starting point is 01:17:09 Without point. I watch Sean O'Donnell eat pizza without a shirt on in front of me. You're okay? I've, well, it's still a memory. It's not completely gone. Outside the Ducks visitors room, both of us wearing headsets waiting to conduct the post-game interview. There's a plowing pizza.
Starting point is 01:17:28 Just he's got some pizza going. He's good enough to join me. So yeah. Yeah. We're kind of waiting for. Listen, this is Hall of Famers. Peter Marr, Mike Rogers. They're giving us some good analysis at the end of the game.
Starting point is 01:17:41 Post-gayor. I feel like maybe they didn't hear the. Booms got. Sean O'Don's ready down there isn't all at ice level. Because it felt like maybe they were stretching, but they were going into some really good analysis. So I'm standing there with my microphone and O'Donnell is there. it's you know how you can sometimes have a conversation without saying anything
Starting point is 01:18:03 i'm here with sean o'donnell second piece of pizza comes in just evaporating it yeah it's like how was the interview oh it was great yeah yeah yeah pepperoni there uh sean yeah back to you guys yeah it was worth it was worth it was really they're always good stuff and yeah i tell great stories hey that's my shot o'dadaudal story that was It's almost like who are the actors that don't do sound? My murder. My. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:51 That's my Sean O'Donnell in a glass case. I was hoping for more. I was hoping he was like right loaded up at the McNut bar. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure he's in the Stanley Cup and you wouldn't believe. No, it was just pizza in the hallway. I blame Mike Rogers.
Starting point is 01:19:08 Go ahead, Ray. Didn't he fight Iggy? Mike Rogers. Sean would fight guys. Yeah. I kind of remember. I think you would fight anyone, man. Holy.
Starting point is 01:19:17 NFL weekend. It's a big one. Divisional weekend. Two of our four teams. That's bad. Rets Bill's alive. Dean's Bears alive. Lines are shifting a little.
Starting point is 01:19:28 It's still Denver minus one and a half, same as yesterday. Seahawks was seven and a half. It's now just an even touchdown they're laying. Going to be sunny and nice in Seattle. Meanwhile, Houston goes to New England. Still three there. And it is going to be cold and miserable in Chicago. They get three and a half at home, making them the only dog at home this weekend.
Starting point is 01:19:53 Staff, Daddy. Probably the reason that they're dogs, but I like the bears. We got our picks later. We'll talk about that further away. Major League Baseball breaking news this morning, Boba Chet, 43, 42 or 43. A lot. Too many millions of dollars. Hey, look, they had a good off season.
Starting point is 01:20:13 You can't have everyone. No Tucker. He signed with the Dodgers. No bow he signed with the Mets. They do get Dylan C-Sysin and the Yamamoto from Japan. I'm not as optimistic as Ryan ever. I'm also sick of being second fiddle. They were definitely second fiddle on Bichette and Tucker.
Starting point is 01:20:33 They were not second fiddle on the top free agent pitcher on the market. So pender. It's just you can't say they don't win when they literally win got the best pitcher available in trade agency. Nobody else wanted them. Right. That's why he's the top guy. They knew who was going to do it, huh? Remember the top guy that came here, the best player outside the NHL?
Starting point is 01:20:49 This guy was in the majors last year, though, and that's the difference. Yeah. Roman Trevenka, he's going to play at the Olympics. Good. Can't wait to see it. The Olympia. The Dodgers are spending money at an alarming rate, fellas. An incredible rate hairy.
Starting point is 01:21:01 So the Dodgers are over the top luxury tax threshold or the competitive balance tax, as they call it. His $60 million salary will cost the Dodgers $126 million because they are into the tax, and it's every dollar you spend, it's like a buck 10 you pay tax on. The amount of money they're spending is absolutely incredible. Though just Tucker alone with the luxury tax, more than 11 teams entire payrolls.
Starting point is 01:21:31 And it's a murderer's row 1 to 9. There is a really good race developing for who the second best team in baseball is. The Dodgers need to move up to a better league. It's insane. Their payroll sits at $413 million, dollars the entire al central that's five teams 573 million yeah it's a lot of dough like we used to call the yankees a bully this is another level of spending a
Starting point is 01:21:56 lodgers fame and again like i don't really pay that close then there's the deferred payroll none deferred here but they've got tons deferred on otani and other guys like how much money there's a billion dollars in deferred yes it's b billions yes it's it's quite something and it all stems from their TV deal. They get over 300 million a year for TV before they sell a beer, a ticket, a jersey. I hate the, don't hate the player the game. Hate it.
Starting point is 01:22:23 They're not going to be boring to watch. That's what I say. And they've won two in a row if you lost track over the dark winter. That's a good baseball team. Better today than it was yesterday. It's get some dumb shit. Would you play this game? This is an interesting one.
Starting point is 01:22:41 Canadian water skiing, Ready, you in or out. Let's watch. I'm in already. Love it. Today we're going Canadian waterski. Hang on, man. Lus gutted tires, do you think for this place? Or what do we do?
Starting point is 01:22:55 At the toe rope, hockey gear. This is deceiving because they've sped the video on. You're fun. Well, no, I just want to know how fast are you going. Well, I need to know the velocity of the player. Oh, I'm the stickler for D.C. It's exactly what you crushed you for it.
Starting point is 01:23:12 That's brilliant. You're right. That's a lot of water they used. They must live on a lake. This might be on a lake. Oh, maybe? Well, this is a, it's not a lake, man. Where is this?
Starting point is 01:23:22 A marsh? Is it a marsh? Could be some wetlands. Boggy. It's very boggy. What jersey does he get on? Muskeg. Look like a raptors.
Starting point is 01:23:30 A reptors. Ontario's like a lot of. Because I can always like, you like that when you're tubing and stuff, do you, or water skiing. What do you? How your shoulders like in that, right? Let go of the rope. Don't hang on to the rope.
Starting point is 01:23:45 You get in trouble? Let go to the rope. Drop the rope. You could really smoke a tree going on that. Jack, with floor capabilities, yes, but I'm... Let's go to another game. This one's stupider, and I kind of like it even more.
Starting point is 01:24:03 This is the mouse trap on the floor, blindfolded guy with a whip, and the guy with these squeaky chickens on his feet and the harmonica in his mouth. Here we go. So if he breathes heavily, It's the harmonica. Hips,
Starting point is 01:24:21 chickens. You've got the mouse traps as to what happened. The audience is great. Team thoughts. Okay, that's enough. No. That's enough for it? I feel like, yeah, that's probably,
Starting point is 01:25:14 we got the point. There's no winners here. No, but it's entertaining. There's no ending. There's no. I've seen the ones where you have to have the harmonica and you take shots in the shins or whatever. But,
Starting point is 01:25:26 um, Hey, listen, they made the Pinder report. Watch the pinky here. Oh, God, that hurts. Let's see, I feel like there's, there's some set up there where he's, like, holding his hand in a certain way where you can. But again, it's the audio.
Starting point is 01:25:43 The rubber chicken and the harmonica, it's good audio. And then the odd smack. I'm not happy that we're back to this. That's tomorrow at your house party. I am not happy that we're back to this stuff. Now, we've got rumors that the, shoveler does not have alarm. She wakes up naturally.
Starting point is 01:26:02 She does not set an alarm. There's no... She gets woken up. That's right. So we've got the video here. Some sort of contraction. This is the worst. You're back to being terrible. Slee monster farting on your life? That's just tough stuff. Tough stuff. Come on.
Starting point is 01:26:35 Be better. AI's crazy. Jack loves this stuff. Boor Ray. Oh, Jack and Caleb. Those guys... Like, we literally haven't had this horseshit for months. That is Friday. of a sudden, it's bad. And I said, yes, you, by the way,
Starting point is 01:26:50 I was the kangaroo BS. I was wavering you, you opened the door. I'm sorry. If in fact, I am to partially blame it. Now, you had led us to believe that maybe there was a little pushback or some trepidation surrounding the ribiggle t-shirts. I had some deep thoughts about ribiggle last night. I'm not happy with you, Pender.
Starting point is 01:27:16 Okay. Put us in this situation. You have put us in a situation. I'd put you in a really good spot to have interesting conversations. I'm back with Walker again. But this is AI. So was this yesterday? When did you?
Starting point is 01:27:35 Wow. He finally, Dawn said, you know what? You guys are right. We should have a big laugh at this. I love that. You know what? Lean into it. Lean into it.
Starting point is 01:27:43 Have a good laugh. And then everybody, it disarms everything. That's right. It could have called Dawn and said, listen. It's what are doing it. suggest here. Having some shit just having some fun guys.
Starting point is 01:27:54 Are you all right with it? But no, you just ram it down people's throats. That's your Pinda Report this Friday, January 16th, enjoy your weekend. Should be a good one. Good luck to all the kids still alive. An S-O- Minor hockey weekend. If you are looking for a vehicle that does not make you feel
Starting point is 01:28:08 pain in the winter, oh, this fucking good! Remember Jack two years ago? He was just dying. This S-box, I got to, you know what he did? I called our boy Anthony. He got served. it out at Village Honda. He is winter, stress-free, commuting to work now.
Starting point is 01:28:25 Nothing about bragging coming from Jack in reference to that. Yeah. VillageHonda.com, the Northwest Automall, your dealership for life. Yeah, he was, we came up yesterday, I think, when we were talking, or with noodles the other day. Anthony was like, the wolf. It's like, you got a situation? Oh, I'll come in and take care of him. You should just call me. Just call me. Don't take care of him. What do you need to, okay, good. Yeah. Jack's like, that was great. You got the wolf. Shit, why don't you just tell me, Anthony's good? Oh, you told me Anthony was gonna, I was just fine.
Starting point is 01:28:59 Just fine. Can we see the one highlight from last night? We've talked a little bit about it. And I'll say, uh, the cut of Kevin Ball's jib. He's playing physical. He's getting a little more. I mean, it's getting cocky. You're a big fella.
Starting point is 01:29:19 Use it. You can use it. Starting to use it. Well, Husker heard us. talking about him so Huska told him that you should do that. Yeah and it's not always about big punishing hits but be aggressive in front of the net this and that if there's I guess
Starting point is 01:29:31 all right if there's a chance to take the ball you know what? No it is about big punishing run the shit out of guys and make them scared to play against you and this was in the late stages of the second last night it's got some Corey Sarch
Starting point is 01:29:46 vibes too it has some it has Rob Blake vibes for me all hip lead with the R's Bang. Kevin Ball and we've got another dust up
Starting point is 01:29:58 there's Bull crushed more but Ryan Donato from the top right there it is Donato I like the yeah that's the
Starting point is 01:30:07 hip right in the if there were a target on his midriff yeah boom right in the safety vest that's my wind is gone and I actually I cut it out
Starting point is 01:30:19 but watching if you go to just after the hit on the first clip there Jack as the young man gets back to his feet and just does the slow kind of walk of shit more. He's like, oh, okay. Oh, boy. Okay.
Starting point is 01:30:33 Oh, okay. Okay, I think some pee came out. I mean, I shit myself. I'm out of breath. Oof. That's a big boy. Ollie Moore, walks into the NHL. Is that a cannon ball?
Starting point is 01:30:47 Is that a wrecking ball? I don't know what you call it, but it's, uh, it's impressive. Can you use that. Yes, out of boy. Boy, baller. Be physical. I was trying to find when Rob Blake absolutely did this to Clark Wilm. Oh.
Starting point is 01:30:59 Wilm said the air left his lungs for a week. It was just gone. Yeah. And there was no recovery. Like they were hit that, Brian. Brian was sitting about the bench saying it was four, Willie. It was four. Go get him.
Starting point is 01:31:13 Yeah. Yeah. Thanks. In case you didn't get the license plate, it was number four. Oh, right. Okay. Like there's hip checks where guys go ass over tea kettle. And then there's those hip checks.
Starting point is 01:31:24 Yeah. That's the Cronwall. That is very Cronwall. For sure. Cronwallian. And if you, again, watch it. It comes to a dead stop. Bang.
Starting point is 01:31:33 It's as if you ran into a park vehicle. Oh. Ouch. Clunk. Clunk. Are you okay? I found it funny too that Farby fought, poor Murphy had to get up and fight when he got winded.
Starting point is 01:31:52 He's like, are you hurt? Good. Let's go. Tie. Give me half beat. Yeah, okay, I'm good. Didn't look like this happened, then it happened.
Starting point is 01:32:00 Also, while we're on topic of last night, just Kenzie Baker's having a tough year. He is doing anything he can try to do to help. And the offense hasn't been there. He was punished blocking shots last night and continue to come out there and take more shots. My kid and I were like, oh, that. Right on the end, the knobby of the end.
Starting point is 01:32:21 He took one in the, uh, kind of that metric. That MFer is throbbing on the flight. And that shot off the left foot. That's going to take some brown liquor. General anesthetic. No fun. None. But he's a war.
Starting point is 01:32:35 He's a battler. He's a battler. And while, you know, things maybe aren't going right offensively, this guy's giving you everything he's got. Yeah. Or get out of the way. Maybe you're trying to win that game. That's the damn problem.
Starting point is 01:32:47 Get out of the way. If I block this show, we might pick fifth overall. Not fourth. Very pender-esque of you there. The one thing you can control is getting a guy. Oh, do you don't need to block that shot. Get out of the way. Trust me.
Starting point is 01:33:02 Knacker. Football picks. Football. For real. What do we say? Seven games left? Yeah, sadly. And like over a month because they draw this thing on, drag it out.
Starting point is 01:33:15 You got a buy week in there? Brutal. Not ideal. Brutal. Bet 365 official gaming partner of Barnburner as we get into it today on our Friday. Game props, player props. The Money Line, whatever your bet is, it's never ordinary at Bet365. It's not endless, but it's virtually practically endless.
Starting point is 01:33:36 The different things you want, same game parley, you want to go in and pick different things. You look around. We're just doing points. What a weekend. What a weekend it's going to be. Can't wait. Left to right, I'll start. This line moves from seven to half to seven.
Starting point is 01:33:49 That might have been just enough to sway me. I think Seattle comprehensively a better team and the Niners just lost Kittle. and it's in Seattle. Statement game coming off by. I don't know why I like Denver, but I like Denver. I think they're going to be a tough nut for the bills to crack. They're complete.
Starting point is 01:34:05 We'll see what Bonix can do. See if they can run on that Bill's defense. Houston, I like with the points. That defense, they don't have to put up 14 tonight, but I don't think C.J. Straud is going to look as bad as he did last week again. And I'll take the bears at home getting the points as well. Rams, Chicago winner.
Starting point is 01:34:23 Southern California softies. I'm taking the bears and the points. Well, Ryan's a poor friend. Always has been, always will be. He's got a plus one and a half because that's what you do for your friends, for your team. It doesn't have his John Elway jersey on today. That half point is a big deal. I was hesitant with San Fran, but I'm still going to do it.
Starting point is 01:34:42 And they got good D. They're grinding, they're winning. Well, just cover. I don't care who wins a game. Just cover. Houston, I want to win and I love their defense. If Houston wins and they're, the bills wins 100% guarantee i'll be in houston next week 100% that's what he said about being in
Starting point is 01:35:04 denver this week wow that's exciting yeah because that'll be great and i love barbecue yeah and as a good friend would do you'd support your old broomcat team dub bars plus three and a half i actually like them with three and a half points they're at home what are we talking about yeah nice man forget about that hook it's like they're trying to oh yeah this extra half point uh here's where I'm going. The weather, you told me to check the weather. Yeah. It is going to be absolute, like no good windy, snow, cold wind. Chicago cold. Uh, so I'm going to go with the under. Forty eight and a half. It feels like that's still a high over under if the passing game is going to be affected by wind and
Starting point is 01:35:49 that. So I'll take the under. A little chicken there, but yes, I'll also, uh, that. I'm with you 100%. Losing the half points, San Fran. I still feel like you know, but you know what? San Fran doesn't seem to get too affected by certain things. I was impressed with them last week.
Starting point is 01:36:10 McCaffrey looks to be healthy. And I'm just going to take the points. Okay. Buffalo, Denver, same thing. I feel like the Denver offense isn't great. Josh has to do it himself. All himself. So I'm going to go under.
Starting point is 01:36:25 on the 106. And then I'm with you. There's something about this defense. X's the lady. Kind of legendary stuff. As good as Drake May has been, he's young. They're coming of age, but to your point, if Stroud is not horrendous,
Starting point is 01:36:42 so he's a little better. Yeah, happy feet me either. Then, yeah, take the three points. Jack, oh, you get some of I picked five. There's four games. That's a boy, Jack. I didn't take six last week, so I'll take five this week. Okay, let's do it up.
Starting point is 01:36:54 I appreciate it. Team player. You're wrong. I'm on Sam Fran this week. I saw Darnold's banged up. He is a little banged up. He's going to play, he's going to play, I guess. He saw this game a couple weeks ago.
Starting point is 01:37:07 It was 133 Seattle. I think Sam Fran puts up a better fight. I'll take them plus seven. And then I'll take the under 45. It feels a little high. I feel like this is going to be a low scoring. We're going off the last game. It's all bouncing back is what you're saying.
Starting point is 01:37:21 Angelum will swing. Bounce it back. Red, I'm on your bills. Josh Allen is the best player. left in the playoffs. He's going to will them all the way to the finals. Best quarterback left. Best quarterback left. Best player left. Houston traveling to New England. Houston has the best defense I've seen in a long, long time. I think they outright win this game in New England. I will take them plus three.
Starting point is 01:37:44 And then Chicago and L.A. Booms Bears. You want the weather forecast in Chicago, boys? Listen to this. Minus seven wins up to 50 kilometers an hour. There's a lake. scattered flurries in the afternoon. Which is when, yeah, I mean, that's. They played at 2.30. Like, this is, this is going to be potentially snowball.
Starting point is 01:38:03 Smash the under. Well, that's the, it's 48 and a half, which is why it's like, yeah, it feels high. That feels really high. What don't I know that they obviously know, but it feels a bit. Yeah. And I feel like the Rams, they've kind of been on the downtrend. Like, they haven't impressed me at the end of the season that last week against
Starting point is 01:38:20 Caroline was a little too close, so I will take Chicago here. And both teams are very happy to run the ball. There you have. I mean, Corum's running. I don't know. We'll come back on Monday. It's so stupid. I didn't realize they were going to have
Starting point is 01:38:34 a hundred receivers this game. Those are our bets. You can pick yours. Lots out there. You can bet on Jack's new favorite head coach in the NFL, whoever the Steelers are going to hire.
Starting point is 01:38:48 Just put a bet it. If it's teased, it'll take the after. That's the top. Yeah. I love Bet 365. Yeah, you do. Seahawks minus 7 with an oblique to the quarterback.
Starting point is 01:39:12 It is still Sam to Arnold in the big game. That's the biggest caveat with the Seahawks, isn't it? Is this real or is this AI, Jack? Download the app. This is real. Get into the game. Must be 19 or older. You guys want to hit on it right now.
Starting point is 01:39:28 What do you want to do? You want to do that? Tagathon. Chris Turrey statement. Okay. You guys want to hit on? There's nothing quite like, there's nothing that we love.
Starting point is 01:39:36 I love the Rangers. It feels like this team does it a lot. You want to connect with your fans. Uh-huh. You want to give them guidance. Yeah, feel like the fans are part of what you're doing. They love you.
Starting point is 01:39:48 Just kind of keep them in the loop. Chris Drury did that today. As the Rangers are not having the season they'd hoped for. No, sir. Two in their own. And I can't. I have to. I mean, this is, it's a lot.
Starting point is 01:40:00 Want me to paraphrase. They're going to, quote, retool the team. And that means, quote, saying goodbye to players, end quote, as part of a, quote, strategic plan, end quote. Well done. They're like AI. There's kind of an apology in there. Hey, this is all. We're not up to.
Starting point is 01:40:14 You know what? You know exactly what it says. Yep. We're shit. Wish we weren't. Sorry. Old JD came down to the office. It said, hey, dumbass.
Starting point is 01:40:25 You put the squad together. This has been your plan. You're right. You're right. Yeah. Remember, President's trophy. two seasons ago. Last year,
Starting point is 01:40:35 chase out some of their leadership group, groomed sour, this year more of the same. I like, I don't know why this makes me laugh. Look at Nabs. It's a horrible signature. I mean,
Starting point is 01:40:46 in the world of we, where we critique everything. Yeah. It's like, well, and by the way, you've got a brutal autograph. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:52 It's a terrible article. No good. Well, hey. It's never. Now, without being cheeky, without being cheeky,
Starting point is 01:41:00 would you appreciate that as a fan. Yes, it's honest. It doesn't insult the intelligence to your fans. Nope, just saying, the Rangers are telling you what they're trying to do. As not a fan, because Drury had this, oh yeah, Trubes, you're going to Barkley-Gudrow, oh, yeah, the way he's kind of conducted business, so it's like, hey, how he got his job.
Starting point is 01:41:24 Yes. It's been sour between management in that locker room for two years. This is not a surprise that it's happening. I don't. So Panarin's a UFA. They'll trade him and they'll get a haul. Imagine him going to Florida if they got the money. Greg said that and I've been saying that.
Starting point is 01:41:41 That's why I feel like the flames had best get their app. Don't be sitting on your hands here. Carson Sousy is a left shot D. He's a UFA. Would they trade Adam Fox? Yes. I think I don't think anyone's off the table, but he is the one guy that's a career ranger
Starting point is 01:41:59 and said no to everyone else. 27. Nine and a half left. I think he's on LTIR right now. Still very good. They just traded Kiantre. Miller this summer, too. The room is the shits.
Starting point is 01:42:13 And Dr. probably is a huge hand in that with what happened last year. I saw something. I think, well, I'll give it with J.T. the C.
Starting point is 01:42:19 That probably didn't help as much as you thought it would. Yeah. Sorry, Dean. No, it's just, yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:26 Who was their big signing this summer of the defenseman? Well, they traded Kandre. Gavricon. And they brought in I have a car from LA. Seven million per.
Starting point is 01:42:41 And just like Schisturkin's hurt. I don't think they've won since Schisturiken has to be sitting there going. What in that? It's kind of part of the problem they've had a wrong kind of problem. Like they've been blessed. They went from Hall of Fame goalie to Hall of Fame goalie to Hall of Fame goalie. Like Richter to Lundquist to Shisterkin. Like the last, they sent the letter last time and then they signed Panera and
Starting point is 01:43:05 Schisd her. He was like, oh, yeah, that was easy. But they should be way better than this. I don't know what's happened to Mika Zabinajad. He was scoring at like a 60-gold pace in one of those COVID years. And he's like 32. It's just everything feels off there, right? I don't disagree that he should be declining.
Starting point is 01:43:19 But it feels off since Tury started this pushing guys out with. They go to the Stanley Cup. They win the president. Stanley Cup semifinals. Yes. We don't like you. You're out of here. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:29 And it also, it's the leadership corps. It's Crider. It's Truba. It's Barclay Goodroles. Crider was being referred to as Marriotton. Mark Messier Light during that playoffs. Those are the guys chased out of there. You're no good.
Starting point is 01:43:42 Get out of here. And they also were fortunate when the dip hit. They picked first and second overall. And it wasn't Megastads, but it helped. Yeah. Left for a year and Kako. I just want to get the update on, uh, because you mentioned that, uh, because you know, Kreider's,
Starting point is 01:43:58 cryer must be done, right? He's got 15 goals. Oh, so he's on pace for 30. Sweet. Yeah. Six power play goals to lead the ducks. It's like, yeah, that's okay. You still crowded.
Starting point is 01:44:07 Could you use that? Mom, Donnie. I feel bad because we don't like to take pleasure and others misfortunes, but kind of. But then we do sometimes only because. I guess it's a jury. I guess it's a person. I got Chris jury story.
Starting point is 01:44:25 You want to hear my Chris jury story? Is if it's pizza, it's at that level. Now then let's save it for Monday. Big hook for next year. We don't have lots to talk about. the summer. Yeah, I didn't say that one. Tankathon.
Starting point is 01:44:42 Tankathon? Super Chats first. Oh, yeah. All right, Jack. Geez. Yelling. Is yelling in all the other. K-5.
Starting point is 01:44:51 Grumpy. Super chat. That's gracious. You centers of Calgary. Taking some dough here from our generous viewers and listeners. Tedellicreats.
Starting point is 01:45:06 To deli creeps. 20 bucks. Love it. Rett. Are you doing? autographs at the alumni game flying in from Texas and need to know if I should pack my old 44
Starting point is 01:45:15 Jersey. Are you talking about the Shorzy game? I believe you must be. And yeah, I'll be there. What do you charge for us? I'll be kick it to ass. Pack it. I've already started
Starting point is 01:45:27 unless they've sent it a few emails yesterday and they were ill received. How did they give you the boot? So it's possible. Yeah. It's possible I've maybe run a foul. You're going to get Chris Druryd out of town here or what? January 22nd, sure is he's in town.
Starting point is 01:45:45 Should we try and get them on? We'll think we should. Yeah, hell yeah. Try it all right. No. Yeah. Who? Are you people?
Starting point is 01:45:51 What? Thank you, Ted Delicreep. I'll be there. Bring it. Working man. Hey, hey, working man. Working man like me, five bucks. Well done on the rebiggle shirts.
Starting point is 01:46:01 And no, you did not go too far. Didn't go far enough. Ha ha. Thank you, Working Man, 22. Hashton, Calat. Hashtag Rebigel for Shizzle. That's an agreement.
Starting point is 01:46:10 I was watching the game last. I'm like, we don't. This is, we're mocking people and that's maybe not the best. Not the team, not the players. We are trying to have fun. I'm mocking the players. Players are working the tails off. We shouldn't mock anywhere.
Starting point is 01:46:26 Right at the players. Yeah. So who are you? Upper management. Yeah. One person. That's right. So you're making it personal.
Starting point is 01:46:33 You're taking a kind of a personal shot. I'm appaljuring. If you're going to say, I love it. Because I think it is. It could be fun, but we should have maybe. Test the waters first. Yeah, maybe test the waters.
Starting point is 01:46:44 If you want to do a re-biggle shirt, I mean, oh, that's funny. But then the descriptor where it gets kind of harsh and personal and specific. The pepper. The pepper. Boom, would you have approved that shirt if the lion had brought it to you? Not with the description. If it just said rebiggle, he would have. If it said rebiggle, yeah, do a re-biggle shirt.
Starting point is 01:47:05 Maybe we should offer. Maybe we should have two options. Yeah, reboot. And I don't mind the, because it's, so do a rebiggle shirt. So then we'll how, oh, the dictionary, the descriptor. Fine. Just don't be, it didn't.
Starting point is 01:47:20 Smart. It was a lot. Pepper. Thank you, working, man. A little too much pepper. They're a nice shirt, though. Yes, I'm happy we did something. They're arriving any moment.
Starting point is 01:47:34 Cheeks McGee, 20, holy, $20. Thank you, Cheeks. I love Cheeks McGee. How does Huska properly developed Perrek Hunter looks like a good example of a properly developed player? What time frame should we actually see Perak as a full-time NHL? If we don't get first pick, who do we get if we're top five? Go get to center. Go get Tonin Lawrence of the Malta.
Starting point is 01:47:55 There's a lot there. I'll tell you, Bristevich again last day. He made a couple players. He's a guy. There's some poise and confidence and conference there. I like them. Yep. This Bustevich.
Starting point is 01:48:09 I like him. He missed it. Too late. Jack's busy looking at it. It looks like they're going to hire Shula's kid for a Steelers. He's a coordinator. I don't know what. If you try to send Perak to the miners for a couple of years, we're okay with it if that's where he needs to be.
Starting point is 01:48:26 I got a feeling he ain't going to jump. That's not going to fly well. I don't know if we'd be even good. I would just like to see him fail at the NHL level and then say, oh, he needs a HL time next year. No, why? Why is it? Why?
Starting point is 01:48:39 Because he said a record. for points? Like, what's he done so? And I'm playing devil's advocate. I don't think he's been given the reins to do what he's good at. Right. But there has to be it's like Drake said about Thomas. And why are, why would a very talented offensive player be available? This doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense why they would want to hold correct back unless there's, they see more than we do. They know. better than us idiots sitting at a desk what Perrek is really about. Yeah, and they also recalled Dryden Hunt for the fourth time.
Starting point is 01:49:17 So, I mean, there's a trust that Huska wants from his players. I don't know that that matches with what Perick's game is at this point. Hopefully in the spring you get lots. But you're kind of catch-22ing yourself, if that's the right terminology, where we like Huska. We think he's a very good coach, but he's not good enough to coach Perak? No, not saying that. They are. What I'm saying is the style that Huskin needs to play while he's trying to win with this group.
Starting point is 01:49:42 So who's right and who's wrong? I'm not saying right or wrong. I'm not trying to sign blame here. I'm just saying like if you're in the last month of the year and Rasmus has gone and it's clear that you're not making the playoffs, I think you will see the opportunity we want correct to get on an NHL roster. At that point we'll be able to say, okay, is this a guy that we actually? Has he done enough to earn a spot on an NHO roster? I mean, he's outshot and out chances opponents in the 11 games he's played, so I'd say yes.
Starting point is 01:50:06 How would the, has he played mostly? at home? He's played mostly at home. Has he played mostly at home where they can put him out when they want him out? Yeah. And he hasn't been used on PowerPlay one almost at all, which is crazy because that's where he could help you. I feel like both sides probably deserve a little
Starting point is 01:50:21 bit of just because he got hurt. Yeah. And then he came back and he got hurt again. And he has been getting tickets. And for the coach, it's like, well, would Huska, if he was playing and didn't get injured, if this was his 30th game of the season, would he have not seen the power play? I feel like he would have if you put him there and he plays well.
Starting point is 01:50:40 I just, but coming off, this is fun or do we have to go, but coming off a record setting season in the OHO with nowhere to send him, did he walk in and take a spot? No. Or was he held back? And I'm okay with either. It's conversation. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:01 And again, I would say like, did Gridden take a spot or did they just choose a safer player in the different spot. So why is it okay for Gridden, though? I don't know that it is. It's just, it's the same, I think. What's different is Gridden can go to the A. Right. And that's again, what sucks is that the next year he can go to the A. Yeah. And so we'll see where he's at in the spring because I think
Starting point is 01:51:19 he is going to get played. We don't know where he's at. He's last time he played in the NFL was about November. I don't know where he's that. I feel if the American League is an option, it changes the entire. I agree. And it will be next year because A, he's 20 and he's 19. next year the rule changes.
Starting point is 01:51:37 It's a really frustrating spot. We had him penciled in as an everyday player. This could have been. Yeah. But it was a conversation. You know, if, if what do you do with them? Because you don't want to say to start the season. And he wouldn't hurt then.
Starting point is 01:51:53 When do you play half the games in the first 20, 25? Yeah, but that's about it. I'm arguing and I'm. If you want him to be. Step in and make a statement. Yeah. And if you want to put a player in a spot. to succeed.
Starting point is 01:52:09 I don't know that third pair with being at low risk hockey is a spot for him to succeed. There's both sides I totally get. And we'll see you in the spring because I think you are going to see him. They'll play the piss out of him at some point. There you go. Good question. Good question. I think we got more super chance.
Starting point is 01:52:26 The lefty. Oh, lefty. 99. Nice. Happy Friday from the Mitten. Jack, you know with the Mitteness? Is my Igor? starting to turn a corner and listen to Rett's advice
Starting point is 01:52:39 of elevating his compete level, or is it just an emo phase? Have a great weekend. This is what he does. He shows you, and then he goes away. And then he shows you, and then he goes away. This is the story of his career. Yeah, it's Lucy holding the football.
Starting point is 01:52:52 It's a wildly inconsistent player. Hey, you know what? She's been pulling the, I can't trust her. I can't rely, but I think. Yeah, she's been holding the football here. This time, I'm going to take a real big kid. I'm going to take a real run out of it. I think Igor is
Starting point is 01:53:09 I don't know that there's a corner to turn. What you're seeing is what he's been. Yeah, and he's capable of more. He can score more. He scored 30 in the league. Can score impressive goals and shoot it a ton. So he could continue to do this. But no, it's like that prices, a lot of analogies.
Starting point is 01:53:28 Holy holy, you keep it going. Yeah. Oh, yeah. There's a precipice always. with our Igor. I hope not. I hope he has turned a corner, but I kind of agree with you too.
Starting point is 01:53:42 Kind of? Or totally agree. Yep. Thanks, lefty. That's 10 bucks. Appreciate that. Anything is possible, still, Dean.
Starting point is 01:53:51 He's back. Five bucks. Will you guys be doing a second show if your ass gets traded this afternoon? I will, yeah. I don't think so. I think we just sit here until he gets traded. Well, then orders some food.
Starting point is 01:54:01 Get some grub in here. You want some food? Who's going to take my kids? Fire up some bacon and eggs. These kids are these kids going to start to fend for themselves. Jesus. I was wielding knives at that point. Back alley street brawls.
Starting point is 01:54:20 Cut my thumb. My mom was so mad. Kicking my ass. Overbearing parents, you hate that. You better not be playing with that jackknife. I'm not. Why is there blood everywhere? I was playing with the jackknife.
Starting point is 01:54:37 Is it the jack knife? The dog. don't have a die. Yeah. I fell in a well. Oh, how'd you get out? Wow. All right.
Starting point is 01:54:48 Is that it? That's a damn. 30 bucks. That's three goals. If your wife took you to Europe on a vacation, which country would you most want to visit? And what would you like to see there? Your wife took you. It's happened to me last year.
Starting point is 01:55:04 Your wife took you on a vacation? Yeah. I want to see Portugal. Greece and Croatia. Grace is unreal. Those are my answers, Dan. Okay. It's a good trip. Too close, then fly over. Zip into Zagra?
Starting point is 01:55:20 Oh, you didn't say how long we could go for. Just stay. Good food. To Europe? Spit it out. Maybe Trinidad. Brazil? And New.
Starting point is 01:55:36 Brazil. Australia, I've always wanted to do. Yeah. Scary animals. good. Thanks, Dean. You're welcome. The Dutch.
Starting point is 01:55:46 Then what are the Dutch? Thank you, handsome, Dan. Very generous. Jeremy Barbagello. Barbegello. $20. Hey, Pender,
Starting point is 01:55:57 what's the Flames Cap situation? Do they need to spend money to get to the floor? If I was Conroy, I'd eat $8 million a Hubert O's contract. Conroy, I would eat $8 million of Hubert O's contract. You're not allowed to eat eight.
Starting point is 01:56:09 You don't eat half. but yeah, that would be one way to get rid of them. Again, we get smarmy or we sound that way. Who's taking them at half? Five in a court with five years left. I'm not joking. At this point, the way he looks. We'll give you a problem for your problem,
Starting point is 01:56:27 but you're not getting assets. Like he's a 40-something point clear. Could you trade him for nothing if you ate half? Not with the way that contract starts. If you ate half, I think you could. I think so. It sounds like it was better. In the role you're going to put him in, Coleman or him?
Starting point is 01:56:42 Because Coleman makes 4-9, and Coleman's got one year left. This guy's got five, and the production's falling off a cliff. And he's not a good checker. He's an okay checker. He's good at backhand sauces to the other team. What do you pay for that? He's been bang on in that department. It's excelling, you'd say?
Starting point is 01:57:03 Yeah. And at 32, the best is yet to come. Right. God damn it. We should be able to phone Toronto and fire true living for that contract. Can he lose his Leafs job? Just a retroactive punishment. He was in cahoots.
Starting point is 01:57:21 He had to a bit. You signed him, you'd take. It couldn't be in the best interest of the flames. He's going to sign him here, and then I'll see it later. This was a long game that he was. Can a player terminate their own contract? Yeah, you'd have to agree. Why would you leave $50 million on the table?
Starting point is 01:57:36 He's not healthy scratch him until he quits. Yeah, Jack was saying to send him to the miners. You can't even do that. He's going to move in a little bit of mine. He's going to healthy scratch him. And you can literally say, we're going to pay you. Stay home. That was the marks of art thing.
Starting point is 01:57:50 Yeah. He was healthy, making it. They just didn't play him. But then they got a trade. And that's even Ruslan Zunulet, you would, yeah. Can we do that trade? I don't think he ever came overseas. Never did go.
Starting point is 01:58:04 No, no. Not that. Maybe once to Vegas with his wife on a honeymoon or something, but never came to play hockey here. Anyway. Good thought, though, Jeremy. Jeremy's looking for answers. I like for your trying,
Starting point is 01:58:13 Hamaramey. Rather than just bitch, he's looking to help solve the problem. I like that, Jeremy. Thank you. Billy Holden. No huby rant from old bill today.
Starting point is 01:58:22 Just wanted to continue to praise Backlin. I have a feeling he was playing through an injury last season. He's played through a lot of injuries. Yep. And very durable of late, which was not in the cards if he saw his first five years. He would have been like, huh?
Starting point is 01:58:36 Who? But as you said, for whatever reason, the slow start this year, because it did not look. wasn't good. He has it up.
Starting point is 01:58:43 Full marks to the captain on the last 20, 25 games, whatever wherever we're at. Sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:54 Keep a roll in there, Jacko. And you know what? Good job by you, Bill. You know, no need to rant. No.
Starting point is 01:58:59 Rather than be negative, could it be positive and put some praise. Rather than put some pepper on it. Oh. Oh. Kids.
Starting point is 01:59:07 Is this sources? So it's, is it three-way train? Or use some chicken fingers. Don't tell your mom, get the fries. I think there's some bean salad in the deep freeze. If you have to put it in the, well, we don't have a microwave
Starting point is 01:59:20 because that's dangerous. So put it in the, how's going? Dad, I'm hungry. Can you wait 10 minutes? What am I going to do? You're going to wait 10 minutes. Bye.
Starting point is 01:59:33 See? That's the eighth call, by the way. You're finding answers. He's calling again. Look, you like that answer. Oh, boy. He's at the freaking club. Just tell him to go down.
Starting point is 01:59:42 Charge that ass. Chicken fingers, you get chained, right? Sandwich builder. The fact that he's asking has me worried about this child. There's no way my kid. My kid said went into the locker room while I was on the bench, took my credit card and emptied out.
Starting point is 01:59:59 Ran rush out the vending machine and was handing out to all this fire. Free. Yeah. No, that's exactly what this would do. That's why he's lost his privileges. Oh. Discipline. I like it.
Starting point is 02:00:12 Be a hard ass. The parents are too wimpy. Oh, calling again. I want something. Should I get that dog? Do this here. Let's do this. Hello.
Starting point is 02:00:19 Who's this? What are you doing? You're going to just sit and wait, finish your lunch, and I'll be there 10 minutes, cowboy. Okay. Have fun then. Push-ups. Bye. We're better, go.
Starting point is 02:00:45 I'm a freaking poop. I'm a freaking poop. Okay, I got to go, bud. Oh, my God. I don't worry about that one. He's a commission job. Jack Havkins. Okay, so supercats.
Starting point is 02:00:57 You're a freaking poop. Mofugger. Easy. Does Forever a Flame Chris Doree know what the hell he's doing? What a mess. It's a mess there. That's a tough. I don't know if he does know, but it would also be a tough job.
Starting point is 02:01:15 And you wouldn't want to give up the job because you're probably getting paid handsomely. You got to deal with a guy that's, I think he's making 10 sheets a year. And yeah, I think he thinks he knows what he's doing. I think he is confident in what he thinks is the right thing. And I think he's got a bit of a loon as an owner that might not be easy. I think the loon has a lot of say. He stirred it up. This was not a quiet, calm approach.
Starting point is 02:01:37 He literally put his hand in the hornet nest. Crider, see you. Don't feel bad for old Chris Drew. Probably Drury just buys tickets to the owner's bar gigs. Oh, the shitty cover band? No, your band is awesome. Are you guys doing a gig this weekend? I bring the team
Starting point is 02:01:53 Teams look I'm not going to this What are you talking about? Next Is there more? More Stewart $5 fellas A GD Street scraper

Starting point is 02:02:29 Fellas. Now maybe it's to, because we don't use salt, I thought. Got so much melt. Maybe it's to, yeah, I don't know. It's walnuts. Because you got all that ice there and this will help.
Starting point is 02:02:41 Yeah. If there's, because now there's some big, Hey, trust me. The big ice humps. Yeah, I think they should throw as much salt as it can. Salt's delicious. Humps. Hey, bud, what's new?

Starting point is 02:03:10 That's very good. I didn't know that when they drafted this kid in the second round out of the Yukon that he'd be anything. Second round defense winner of the best picks. They really are. She whoever was. What about Ramble? Can't drag this out. He's in.
Starting point is 02:03:24 Dean does not care. I'm checking to see if there's a trade. Jack's on top. I'm watching to see if there. Couldn't drop it. What? I'm still cold. Yonka's netsoff's good.
Starting point is 02:03:36 He's going to be here for a long time. Yeah. What do you think of Yonke's right enough? Poor kid. You're pushing his buttons, by the way. Well, he's been pushing mine. You've told him to wait 10 minutes. Odd.
