What's up? Yo, how are we doing, everybody? Welcome to the Friday edition of Barnburner here in the Tower Chrysler Studios and for the first time ever. Look at this. In Barnburner history, the buddies are all together. The Rettster. Look at it. We got him on Scottsman Hill reporting in front of the Saddleau.

Look at this. Bloody bright in here. I got to wear shades. I know, right. Yeah, I know. That's people will say you're a diva and what the hell you're. I am. What's wrong with this guy? But, you know, kind of an eagle maniac wears sunglasses. It looks good. It looks good. Well, here we are Tower Chrysler Studios, the number one Tower

Chrysler dealer in all of Calgary. Not even close. You can go to a bunch of other discum. I'm sure there's a bunch of other ones, but only the one is the number one Tower Chrysler dealer in town. There's Pinder. I am Boomer, and that is the Retster who has made his way back to the city of Calgary. How was, how was Travel Day yesterday? Oh, for Christ's sakes. Yeah. Good, eh? Yeah. It actually, the travel is fine, but I'm so stupid. I've done it on purpose, as you know, for long flights from Hawaii where I'll book myself two seats, but apparently I booked two seats for the flight yesterday, not on purpose. I see. And then I said, well, can I get reimburse. They said, well, you really can't

because we're inside 24 hours. I said, okay, well, that's fine. I'll just have an extra seat beside me. And they're like, no, we can't give you that either. Oh. So you can't have the seat. But they can't give you money back that you paid for the seat. Now, was this

because the one story that we had was it was a classic. You and I were going to Fort St. John, was it? Yes. We were going to Fort St. John to do a... St. John to do an event. We had a speaking event. up there at a sportsman's dinner and you handled the flights and booked us a couple of flights to Fort McMurray.

I got this boom. I got the flights. Yeah. Wrong fort. Yeah. All right province, almost. I'll put it in. It's north.

You go north and there's a whole bunch of forts up there, I guess. Right industry. Now, luckily, I think we had, we were outside of that 24-hour window. So we were able to make some adjustments and we got to where we needed to go. And be fair, if you went to St. John instead of Fort St. John, it could have been much much worse. Or St. John's. That's very much.

I mean, that would be a night. You don't want to go to Fort Mac? Like, what's wrong with Fort Mac? I have no problem with Fort Mac. No problem. Just when you're supposed to be in Fort St. John, that's the issue. That's not against Fort Mac. Gotcha.

Yeah, T's and T's. So are you out some cash? Did you have to end up? Apparently so. Okay. Well, and then, because the reason I had two flights booked for me was because I thought I'd, one of the flights was supposed to be under my kids' name, blah, blah, blah. So when we tried to check in the day before the flight,

we're like, where's this kid's reservation? So we called and they're like, no, he doesn't have him. He's not booked on this flight. Nope. Oh, okay. So then I had to buy a ticket day before. So that's a little more price usually. Yeah, yeah.

What does I run a guy? The Hamilton to Calgary milk rod. I think it's more is what it costs the day of. Yeah. You know what, though, we were saying before. Can common sense not come in at some point? Well, here's Rhett Warner with two flights, and here's his son with zero flights. No, common sense.

Maybe common sense would tell you. No, no, it's eluding society. It has for years. We can't bother ourselves with common sense. Not so common, they say. So when's the last time you were on Canadian soil? No, I went to Toronto a couple weeks ago, right after a private jet. Was it the 15 minute flight?

Yeah, yeah, 15 minute flight and two hours to get through customs, but whatever. Oh, no way. No, it wasn't that. You did Billy Bishop, right? The little downtown there. No, they didn't. They took the big jet. You had to land at Pearson.

That's so dumb. No, because what happened was it was a bunch of Sabre sponsors. And most of them were bankers and insurance people. That was the day that that SVB bank collapsed. Oh, yeah, yeah. So half the two thirds of the people that were going to go on the trip, we're like, can't go. We're out.

Sorry. Yeah. So they would have had enough people to go on a big plane, but there was about 20 people on that big jumbo jet. Lull. You'd love it. Oh, it was great. Extra seats.

Didn't even have to pay for them. Just see how much food I got. Jesus. Or they have Canadian salmon and some sort of beef. He was tweeting the menu from the suite. I was, actually, I was like,

at first, because they only had like a few little small appetizers in the sweet. And it went on forever. And I'm like, these cheap bastards are already going to put food in the suite. We're just going to get some hummus and chatties. carrots and shit. And then all of a sudden it came out and then it kept coming.

Like every period they brought in a new hot dish. I'm like, okay. He's one of my favorite animals on the planet. Because I wish I could be there just to watch. Because everybody else would be mingling and he'd be doing the old shoulder check looking for the food trays. Not yet, okay. Just chatting up the stuff.

Hey, Cynthia. When we have the meals coming up? We got food, right? What's the food store here? What's the store? What's it coming up? Right away. There's no fucking food.

You could sell tickets to watch this man eat. We've talked about it before. I remember we went to. one of our favorite wing joints in all of town like five years ago and I'd never seen it before, it would be like SeaWorld. You could sell tickets, get stadium seating, and understand that if you're in the first three rows, you're in a certain amount of danger and having to launder your clothes afterwards. Well, yeah, our buddy Bob, you know, he bought lunch for us that's right to watch Red Eat. He's like, I've heard of it. Do you think it's okay if,

if I get wings and the burger? Yeah, you can do whatever you'd like. And then he quietly asked for a second burger, no fries. Yeah, and then he just kind of sat there and watched Red do his thing. That place is done, by the way. It is done. That's crazy. They were good. That was a good job. Lots of, it's restaurant business.

Lots of turnover. Lots of hot, new, sexy places you got to keep up with. That place I thought was going to. I thought they'd made it. You know, they'd been there for a long time, good location. Is that 15 years? Word of math. Good word of math.

So when last night you sleep in your own bed, when's the last time you slept in August? August 8, 17th. Yeah. I believe, you know, because you would have made that. decision to leave about August 16th and then you left it killed his side there and your fridge was told you a crazy story that it's a bit of a tear jerker well it's not but it could be so when I was in Buffalo there's a little girl by the name of Carly Carly Coton collard because her mother passed away with cancer and shortly thereafter her father passed away from cancer

within a year. So she lost both parents. Shortly thereafter, this poor girl, I think she was eight at the time, eight or nine, got brain cancer. She was in the hospital in Buffalo, and I stopped in and met her. And, you went in and did the tour

at the Children's Hospital in Buffalo. Anyway, her uncle adopted dad. He phoned me that summer and said, listen, Carly wants to do a raise some money for charity for kids for kids cancer. Would you be a spokesperson to get on board and help us out? Absolutely. I'd love to. The cancer went into remission.

She was doing pretty good. We started this charity called Carly's Club, which I've probably mentioned on the various shows we've done before. The cancer came back. She went through a major round of treatment again. She was doing all right for a while and then it came back again in the doctor said it's not good and eventually she's to come August 16th the day we decided to go to Buffalo was the like it has to be more than 10 years it was the anniversary of her death so it was kind of and and her uncle who I stayed in touch with become friends with and to hang out with the Buffalo a fair bit he's like that's it's Carly telling you to go back to Buffalo for a while.

Yeah, there it is. Yeah. Anyway, that's, I don't want to have a Debbie Downer kind of moment, but it was, it was kind of, I didn't at the time think about it, but her uncle was like,

well, that's the sign. Yeah. Anyway. Kids are inspiring, man. Kids are inspiring. That's shitty.

I'll follow that up with some Friday content. Well, you know, that's all right. That's all right. We don't have to be down in the dump. She was a great kid, and she did a lot of good.

The best part about the story, sad that, you know, that charity in Buffalo and actually, nationally in the States is huge. Really? It's massive. So what's the impact she's left? She has made such a huge impact. Massive, massive charity.

Like, remember I took that picture with Gronk? Yeah, yeah. That was her charity. That charity that was, yeah. It's awesome, right? That's the most jealous Dean's ever been of you. Never mind the pay stubs, you know, the charters, five-star hotels. I thought so much party.

It was like meeting Gronk. That's, that's Dean's hero. I don't need to meet him. I just want to be here. Well, yeah, that's the whole thing. You might be able to meet him.

Like, I don't know that I need to have a chance of meeting. Yeah, I'm not really interested to meet him. I just think he's, he's won the lottery of life. One of the best at his position. Look at this.

His butts hanging out. Jesus. The whole thing. You never spent a dime of his, well, his paychecks. He's only lived off in thorns. He's got some party bus company or something.

Like, that's what he's doing today. I remember early in his career, the Patriots had to give him a talking to because, Gold Star is climbing in his DMs. He's like, yeah, let's hang out for sure. And they're like, yo, just take this off line.

He's living the dream. Well, it's good to, uh, it's good to have you back. It's good to see you. What's nice to be here. It's quite the things you guys got here. Is it what you expect? Well, it's a little messier. I thought it would be a little tighter.

Prince is fucking shirking his cleanup dudes. It's a great spot. Great spot. A lot of cords. It's a lot of cords. I've already stepped on some cords. I've shut off some things, not on purpose. That's all right.

stumble around. If I open that bottle of booze over there, the things will quickly unravel. I can see that happen. It'll be swine everywhere. Yeah. So you've got the sunglasses on today. You're seeing now, right? It's the freaking lights. So bright. Yeah. So bright. I wondered if you were going to have like glasses and a mustache and a fake nose is your disguise for being back in town after shit talk in the flames like you have been all season. I've taken some hard shots at them and they've deserved it. So he's turned them around. Let's give them some credit. Seven games. Just seven. Come on. That's it. A bloody seven game series.

It can't be that hard, fellas. Let's go. Yeah, they're going to need to win more than four. That's the bad news. Four wins a seven games series. I don't know if that's true, the way Winnipeg's playing, it might get you there. So as soon as tonight, they could be in control of their own fate. The Nashville helped out last night, losing to Pittsburgh, Winnipeg host Detroit tonight.

It's the first of five in a row at home for the Jets. And Detroit played last night back to back. But beat Carolina. Wings have been a tough out of late. So if you get a Detroit result and the flames can take care of their own business, you've got a game left against Winnipeg. You'd be even on points. There's destiny.

Control it yourself. Now, that said, the Canucks have also been a tough out. They are 3.0 and 1 in their last four, 5-1-1-1-7. What's going on? Is it just the pressure of- I think if you look at a bunch of those teams like Detroit, they were in. Phoenix went on a heater for a bit.

San Jose beat the flames. But, I mean, I think there are teams. It happens almost every year where the teams that are out of it. they start playing loose. The teams that are tight, puck are up and they get behind in a game and they can't squeeze it too much.

Yeah, 100%. And it's like we always just want to put stock in these parts of the season, but it's futile. So the Canucks fans are talking to this, man, if they just started the season with Rick Tocky, he's on this like 107 point pace, and like, yeah, but who'd you start the season with?

They're like, oh, Boudreau. And he played it 100 fucking point pace when he came in and replaced the coach last year. Like, it's the exact same shit. It's not the same. You cannot replicate the brains of teams in a playoff spot with guys they're fifth from the bottom. They're out of it. They're playing

loose. Congrats. They're more organized. They've been playing better under Tocquet. It doesn't mean shit. Yeah. What's the start of the year when there's 82 left and you don't have your vacation booked? There's a lot little tougher to get through than hey, I got six or seven left here and the trip to Cabo is booked. We're going to have

a hell of the time. Let's go. Let's go some fun. And it's not like they won't be good next year. They could be, but remember, the coach they fired this year was on a heater the first 40 games he had last year, just like Talk it. It wasn't Frank earlier this week? he was saying that one of the traps that you can fall into it this time a year

is seeing how you're, if you're playing well at this time and thinking, well, it's just going to carry over. Naturally, this is going to carry over for next year. And it very rarely ever does. Remember when Joe Colburn got to, what, 19 goals? Yeah, three against Vegas in the final game or so. Well, no, that was Jankeowski had a four-goal game

in the last game against Vegas. But Colburn got on that heater and he was, he was bumped to the top line, the final third of the year, and every fourth shot went in. Like, it didn't take a statistical, genius to understand what was happening. Ovechkin, if he scored every four shot, would have 100 goals. Like it was unsustainable. He was hot. They were loose. Pressure was down. They're probably seeing backup goalies. It's the flames are missing the playoffs this year. Joe Coleman was not a 20 goal

guy. He floored with it one year because he got in a heater and it didn't matter. So if you put all that stock, you're Joe's going to be back next year. Is he scored 20? Like how let down were you? Yeah. You know, Spencer Fu, Akima Lou. We've seen all kinds of guys look good with low pressure environments down the store. I had my best game ever was last game in Montreal. We were out of the playoffs. I was carrying the puck up the ice. I did a spinner. I remember it because everyone was laughing at me.

I did a spinnerama at like our blue line. Last guy back. I beat the guy. They're like, what the fuck. You're loose. It's awesome. Well,

and again, what do you have to lose at that point? The season's done. You're playing out the stretch. You may as well have fun. Take some chances. Who cares? But that's the shit.

He's not the word. But that's the awkward part where, so when I came in the league, the penguin's really. really good. And they had Mario and Yags and Francis and a list of Hall of Famers. And they were loose, always. They'd go out pregame morning skates. They didn't put their equipment on. And they didn't have a structured skate. And they didn't work out. And they played loose all year. And they were good. Now, they had the talent to do that. My point is the squeeze that everyone seems to

have to put on to produce might be contradictory to the way that you should do things. How about we play loose and have fun and enjoy this journey and just live it up like guys, not live it up, but have fun going to the rink and just make it fun. You see what happens at the end of the year. Teams have success with it. I think there needs to be more of that spread out through the year for these teams. It's like watching Tampa the last five years. It's like if they lose five in a row in October, I don't give a shit.

I'm sorry. like John Cooper got mad a month ago. Whatever. They're a good team. And like Boston, they look loose. They're not, they don't look like they're tight. But it helps when you have that skill.

Because I was thinking of the same thing. Did Brett Hall ever play a stressful game in his life? I don't think so. Right. Yeah. But he had the gift of being one of the most pure goal scores the game's ever seen. And, and yeah,

I would think for like Tampa, yeah, we don't need to stress about it because we're pretty fucking good. Yeah, you got rings and you know what, you know, there's a lot of teams asking themselves, do we have what it takes?

to crank it up another notch come April 19 when the playoffs start like New Jersey's one they've had a great regular season but it's like hey they've never done that before that's a brand new stage for them you know there's a lot of other team Seattle's going to be in their first postseason you're like I don't know like Tampa doesn't have questions they know exactly what they're looking at even the Leafs having a great year have to face that oh fuck here we go again whether it's a huge thing in the back of their mind or front and center Tampa don't have that whether it's a thing that we see yeah or that the Leafs actually feel could be completely different. I don't know if in that room

Mark Gerdano's worrying about it. I think they I don't think they worry about it. I don't think they worry about advancing because they want to advance because they want to win a Stanley Cup but I don't know if they're going, oh my God, we haven't won for seven years. I feel like the media is more stressed about it than anybody

else. Yeah, I think there's probably a legacy piece from Marner and Matthews and Nealander and Tavares because they haven't got through round one. But I also think they understand they're stronger for having been through all that. I think they're less worried about it happened again more so being like okay we've learned from that and also by the way this pretty good teams like we didn't get rolled by an eight seed and i feel like for the cup finalists and

winners that you've lost it like i feel similarly for those guys i think for matthews and marner they we need to get through round one but then if they lose in round two i don't think they're going to be summering thinking oh man that was great you see if we did it oh no no whereas for the media i think it's well now we can start talking about this first round for i honestly i just watch that whole thing how it unfolds there and there's so much stress about the round one it's this you know know what it's like it's like that stupid Anaheim record that the flames had yeah do you think the players were going into an i'm going i can't believe we lost 24 and i don't know what you i was 14 when that was happening of it they don't have a fucking clue yeah yeah well i wanted to show something

here i saw this photo yesterday and it struck me uh because the flames get on the jet yesterday so there's matthew cornato on the right getting on uh going on a road trip exciting right that's dylan Dubet and look are those two fucking guys brothers look at the eyebrows look at eyebrows and the hair I need to see Coronado's beard potential but it looks damn good I'll tell you that I got a sign into my YouTube does we know what was it Roy Kent that's who that's yeah it's very Roy Kent he's there he's fucking everywhere when that when that popped up I don't know if you can zoom in on on the two faces but oh there's dubay and who's the guy in the left no wait a minute

that's dube on the left that's Coronado on the right because you don't even recognize dupe now clean shave right the from the draft selection in round one in 2019 you're like or 2021 I guess it is you're like oh yeah this this guy's got the like the eyebrows to go he's got the flow going like this is going to be a follically sensational human and dubs is that too right he's got to be able to score not he's got to be able to grow up beard because you can see it's saying this five o'clock shadows looking good there yeah it looks good that's almost like ret mustache level and he's young that's a 20 year old that's impressive how pumped is that kid getting on the charter yesterday well you know what the

You're right. And I don't want to say it's not a big deal. These these columns guys, they get treated pretty. Yeah. Pretty good. Yeah, they fly a lot. Oh, they fly almost everywhere. Like, I was looking at the Western League series.

I think it's Seattle and Colonna are playing maybe. And it's just like, that's not a short bus ride. And then I saw Medicine Hats playing Winnipeg. I'm like, that's also not a short bus ride. And you're like, oh, yeah, you know, in college, we'll fly up to Alaska, fly back, or we'll fly down to Denver, fly home. Oh, even that's. There's that shitty, well, say it's shitty.

They made it to the final 16 there. Canisius. Canisius and Buffalo. Zip over on the plane. It's not in Buffalo? That's why the shovelers are so sad. She's a, she's a grader. She's a grad.

Alumni. Alumnness, as you'd say. All star. I don't know. I had heard reports that Coronado walked into the locker room and said, what's with this dumb? Because I'm guessing Harvard probably- Harvard probably has a pretty nice locker room.

I just, I really think Harvard's fucking nice. Yeah. The only thing, you know, it might be an older building in Harvard. It could be. It's a big deal. It's a big deal. You're back.

It is a big deal. Schedule's got to be filling up quickly. I think so. And one of our favorites. And you knew it was coming. You had to know it was coming. I suspected. I'd like to take credit, but I can't.

I could, I guess. But one of our longest, one of our OGs, Greg Keller at Bonton meets. He was, so when is he? So what is he? When is he going to be there? What if I sent this? And what if I sent that? And that's just, he's one of the most generous humans I've ever met.

And he wanted to celebrate the return of retro. Who doesn't? I took a little, a little shot of the spread that we've got. He said, well, has Pinder, has been, so Pinder hasn't had the, the meat pies, right? Stunning. Please, please, please, please. So, yeah, we've got, and you can hit it there, Alex. So in the first box is we've got some wrapped meat pies, which I can't believe, yeah, that you've never, that you've never had.

Well, you know what it is, is that Greg would always deliver her to the studio on big occasions like Rett's birthday or Rett's last day before summer or Rett's last day before Christmas. And it was always because Rett's favorite is the beef ribs. It would be that. And then the potato salad is just lugging there. It's the folklore part of our show. And then it's like, well, you could do more, but Jesus, that's enough to feed a small country. So there's the beef ribs. We've got two kinds of beef ribs.

Yes. And then, of course, the legendary, and we've talked about it for years, potato salad, extra bacon, extra creamy. Calgary legend crushes you. So there's some... That potato salad crushes you. Warner was like, geez, it's going to put me to sleep. I don't know what I'm going to do here. And he also sent along a bottle of whiskey.

So if that doesn't put you to sleep. There you go. Now you have in front of you, Red, care package. You have a box. and he wanted to, it's like, I'm going to send one. The rest is for everyone and all to enjoy, but I'm sending one just for, just for RETs.

So we'll go, maybe we can go full screen here. There's the box to Retro. Good looking hat, Redd. Thanks, yeah, we'll be. Nationgear.com. Let's go. So this is courtesy of Bontan meets Calgary tradition since 1921. We can't say enough about it.

It is the best in the city, no matter where you go. It's happy. What is it? I told him I was going to go up and see him and he said, I think you need to spend some time getting, uh, yeah, look at that. I'm set. Tomahawks, got some rib eyes.

So what you have there, Rhett, is, uh, I'll give you the details. Oh, how about that, right? Like how about that? Oh, I'm going to crush it. It's too bad my parents are here because they're going to want some. Yeah, you're going to have to share. Yeah, you are going to share.

Yeah, you are going to. I have to share it. So you've got their three Wagyu tomahawk steaks and four Wagyu tenderloin for the, for the bride. Wagyu tenderloin. My goodness. That is a, that's some good eating there. That is, that is the luxury living.

That's beautiful. Thank you, Mr. Keller. Isn't that unbelievable? I appreciate it. You can't imagine how excited I am for some Alberta beef. Yes, sir. So if you have a big moment in your life, you can give yourself the RET treatment at

28 Crowfoot Circle Northwest. Say hi to Greg. Right. Like if you're having a, it's a big moment. Look at this. You could do this all yourself. You could replicate this moment. And I just sent to Alex a photo and he'll get it up. I showed it before and I showed it just kind of make him jealous when he was still back there. Because we, Greg gave us some Tom and truly, that was the greatest stake I've ever made. It's not close in in my life. And I didn't really have to do a whole lot. I just kind of put it on there and let it do its thing and then took it off just just keep an eye on it don't let it catch on fire and you know just keep an eye on the friggin

use something other than a microwave and you'll yeah turn it into leather and you'll enjoy yeah but my kid my oldest he he loves steak and he hadn't seen tomahawks said what is that thing like get ready dude so he's on the bone at the end probably and he was so that was that was a number months ago, but there was, I put them on the grill and I really didn't want to, uh, didn't want to ruin them. So I took them off and I knew they were still very much on the rare side and then just kind of finished them up in the, uh, in the oven, got them to where we needed them to be. And they were unbelievable. Whether it's beef, pork, chicken, veal, you name it. It is Bonton meats. Calgary's Consumer Choice Award winner for Best Deli Meat Market 28 Crowfoot Circle Northwest.

and yes there is a bottle of bottle with you know what i opened this i was i'm kind of feel maybe like if prince he poured me when i drink you i don't know prince is given the palms like i felt like maybe maybe if he won yeah i know just one though you're happy hey he is you see that smile there he goes there he goes on his face yeah this is like this this is better than any Christmas gift I've ever got. It's a, yeah. Like if, if the shoveler, on my birthday came in and was like,

here you go, the best gift she's ever given. You're going to renew your vows right there. Yeah. See, the point you make is a good one, though. So your parents are here, and you have three boys, and there's the two of you. Oh, no, this is hidden until my parents are leaving on Sunday.

Is that right? Ageed a little more. That's fine, right? Saw who's up for some burgers? What do you think, guys, pizza tonight? Fish tacos? Didn't I see you a no, no, no, no. It was a prop. It was just for the show.

We had a family dinner when we broke those out. And I think it's the proudest my father's ever been of me. Yeah, he is. I worked the barbecue. I supplied the meat and it was Wagu. Donk, don't, don't, don't. The big hammers, like he was just like, right, this is quite a treat.

Thank you very much. It's also for me, Prince. Sure, Prince. People, so is it, is it worth it? Like, you go for Waggues? is it really is it worth it oh it's a treat and i haven't had it a bunch but that's if if that was the result then that i would say yes now you're not doing i don't know that you do that five days a week it's a treat right yeah maybe if you're hammered caviar and you have a private jet

fuck rip that thing seven days a week if you want but it's a treat it is a very special cut of meat who you're watching poor over there i am watching a poor yeah that's a good poor yeah just come right there don't worry about it's all good this is fantastic Yes, I'll have one. Thanks, Mr. Kelner. These shows are just so much easier and better. When we're in the same room. You think we just got to convince this jerk to move his ass back to Calgary, at least part-time.

The last show we did in the same room together, there was also liquor involved. We were talking about that yesterday after we got you off the air or before maybe. Because we went to a lunch place on St. Patrick's Day that they had no green confetti, no hats, no Guinness being poured. And it was clear to a lot of people that were there for lunch and going back. to work, we were out for a festive, festive afternoon. That was a heavy when I fell asleep in the lobby of some stupid office tower. You know what? We were doing morning.

It's not your fault. We were doing mornings. You were very tall. And I think you were into the sauce around seven. So by the time, you know, one came around. Are you having a? Oh, shit. A little apple juice.

It's a flames game day. Get your helmets on there in Vancouver tonight. the flames get some help as you said on the out of town scoreboard Nashville gets blanked in Pittsburgh against Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh so thank you yeah it is a thank you I don't know what it does to those models the mathematical it hurts Nashville a lot it pumps up Calgary a little bit because Nashville was already deemed a long shot because A the schedule is really tough and B they're missing four of their best players Foresburg Duchenne Johan and Yosey remains out

still and is it if they had those sorry but if they add those guys in, I'd be a lot more concerned. And the models would like them more, to be fair. Because, like, they've got a really tough schedule. I look, the only team they play the rest of the season that isn't a playoff team, St. Louis. And they're going pretty good right now with Verana and company. They're playing loose as well.

And the opposite's true for the flames where they don't have a playoff team left if they're going to make it. They play Nashville once in Winnipeg once, and everyone else has no shot at the playoffs. So it's not everything, but strength the schedule is a big, big gap between Nashville and Calgary. I'm just looking at what's left in the bottle. So the bottle's half gone. You poured four drinks. How are we doing me? Prince he knows what he's doing.

Prince. Oh, boys are in one. Prairie wedding here. What I was going to say? It's not that it's over by any means, but I just thought I was more concerned about Nashville almost than Winnipeg because they had those games. And they look, give them credit. They won in Boston. But look at the rest of their schedule.

They got a lot of tough teams. But you know, the Carolinas of the world. Minnesota, Colorado. Like, man, if you get, if you go 500 there, that's impressive. And you're relying on secondary guys, not to be. Tommy fucking know that. Yeah, right? Like, you're filling holes, major holes.

If you have your lineup and you have that, that's tough schedule, you can, that's fine. We're going to play the piss out of our big dogs. They're big guns. They can get the job done. You'll see one of the best in the game. Like, you don't have that, though. And the only reason they beat Boston is I think it was, what, 45 or 46 for Saros? Like, he's been unbelievable.

And look, he probably wasn't bad last night. He allowed two. They didn't score one. But Yosey's the biggest piece there. He's their best player that skates, aside from the goalie. And it's been day to day for two weeks here. What you said last night is exactly their problem, though. They can't score.

And all their guys that can score aren't playing. Yeah. Yosey's offense, Johansson's offense, Duches' offense. With that in my, why don't we spin it into the injury report from McLeod Law? MacLeod Law, of course, injury are they're just the best of what they do for helping out people when it comes to personal injury. You worry about yourself, worry about what you have to deal with at home,

and they take the stress off your shoulders. Legal, insurance, medical claims, all of that stuff gets taken care of for you. Extensive experience in this line of work. They understand your needs. They have deep Calgary roots. They are the people you call. Peter Klein, great guy, 403-254, 3644,

3864. 3864. Your eyes are just dogshitting. Holy. There it is. That's the look. Zoom in. Full shot for Dean.

Call Peter Klein, 254, 3864. Grab that screenshot. I got two sips and he's already in. I was going to say for the record, there's one sip, but it feels like three. Jeez. Jesus. this year and that's it. Like everyone else has been healthy.

They've been really lucky. And it's it's a team that has had some guys that have had some injury issues in their past. But it's, it's been a quiet silver lining to the season because you don't talk about injuries that don't happen. I was just going to say maybe it's a negative because some of those kids would have got more games. You probably know more about Matthew Phillips if they lost a couple four ways. I agree with that. Yeah.

Okay. So Chris Tanna remains out. He's day to day and it's awfully quiet, quiet to the point where I wonder how serious this is. Don't wonder. I think it's serious. Yeah. And look, it's crunch time. Would I be surprised if he was, if they got in and he was able to suit up for the playoffs?

No, this guy would play with a limb missing in the postseason. But it's bad enough that in the most important final 10 games of the year, he doesn't have a stall in the locker room right now. And it's, you know, he's good. The gears put away is not a good sign. No, and look, there's extra bodies. Carnados here. No. Yeah.

Not ideal. Matthew, sorry, Michael Stone was skating. yesterday. They wheeled him out on the right side of the third pair. So essentially the third pair was three guys. It was Gilbert, Stone, and Stetcher rotating through. It's been a while for Stone, but he's, again, he's the best like Michael Stoney could be. If you can bring a guy in cold for two months and expect him to play okay, he might be the best at that. I don't know that you need to. I don't think Gilbert's been that bad. I think Stetcher's been good. I actually think the D has been fine as a group. I'd agree. Here's been better. I'm more concerned about tough four minutes for Zadora than Am

I was just going to say I have less worried. Yeah. Because I agree with you. Stetcher's been okay. It's how many minutes do you have to give Zadour off? Yeah. And God forbid there's another one. Oh, now.

Yeah. Now if there's another injury, then you're in it. Well, it's Gilbert or Stetcher into the top four. Yeah. Well, that's Stetcher probably. He's good puck mover. Yeah. So that's the flame side.

And of course, we didn't mention Oliver Shillington status quo. Their personal reasons, I mean, I mean, this is a conversation point for the summer. and next season at this point. He ain't coming back, fellas. We know that for this year. Vancouver, Oliver Ekman-Larsen, done for the year. Vasily Pod Colson, day-to-day. So we'll see on that front. McKayev's on IR. He had that issue that was a hand that they messed up. Pearson, they had to redo the surgery. That was another mix-up. Travis Dermott, they got in from Toronto for a draft pick this summer. He's hurt. Tucker Pullman, they give that big contract to because Jimbo's going to jimbo.

he's hurt. They're missing lots of bodies. And we'll get to the lines in the Pinder report, but there's some fresh-faced Abbotsford Canucks that are getting a lot of ice for the Canucks because of how dinged up they are. And this Kuzmanko kid, unbelievable. Is unbelievable. So the story was it was Edmonton or Vancouver

recruiting him. He's coming over from Russia. Everyone's going to give him the same entry-level contract. It's only going to be one year because of his age, and then he's into a new contract. The guy fills the net in the K. He's a good player. Kenny Holland takes them to Joey's in Edmonton in the Ice District and Francisco Aqueleady takes him to one of his

high-end restaurants that he owns and it was the schmoozing went better in Vancouver rather than the you know, yeah. He's got seven points in four games, four-game point street coming in tonight. He's kind of got that Sy Young-type looking season where it's a lot of goals. Pass the puck, right?

Is that what you say? The scoring is great. It's a hard thing to do. Yeah. But that's a nice pickup. Yep. Kuzmanko, 37 goals and 68 points in 73 games. How's the adapting to the NHL going for you? Pretty damn good.

Okay, fair enough. That's a rookie season, fellas. That's tidy. And Dewey, this was another one of those things I was throwing out, Hey, did you know, have you seen what Quinn Hughes is doing this year? Monster year. And the defensive side's been excellent under Tocke. It was not before.

72 points in 70 games. point per game D seasons used to be like oh we'll never see that again yeah and all of a sudden it's like macar's doing it yossey did it you had you know clearly eric carlson's might have his career year this year in his mid 30s after missing a hundred frick easy the game has changed so much you think about in that perspective 100 points seasons and these blown leads there was another yeah that's right either it was a three goal lead or there were three leads in a game and they were all blown I don't know what we're what we are seeing. You've talked about it for a while. That's shitty coaching.

The defensive defenseman being obsolete, but it's my thing. It's great. It's entertainment. Sure. If you got a two-goal lead in, in the 04 era when rep played, that team went to the final, like to blow a two-goal lead would be a colossal fuck-up. We see it every night now. If there's a big slate of game, someone will blow two-go-le.

Nothing. Nothing. If they're not going to have fighting and rough stuff, then this is what we need to make it. right you don't want to have two goals no fighting and no hitting and a two-goal lead being locked down and put away this is giver yeah so i'm gonna go back to 2001 that was the year i think he scored 52 and that was like the lowest scoring year of our lives that was like peak dead puck era is what the nerds will call it and like the next highest goal score had like 43 goals that year and he got robbed to the heart we all know it but like the leading defenseman

that year like we're going to see guys at 100 every year i'm going to sort by D here like it's going to be remarkable like yeah Brian Leach almost a point per game that's it yeah I thought it would be lower than that but you it was a Lindstrom and then no one else got to 60 yeah if you were a 45 to 50 point D man oh yeah you're tough 10 offensive I had almost 21 year though is yeah okay good sure is especially in that era right yeah in that era it's like that's like Quinn Hughes numbers today for sure much yeah here it is so 0102, the highest point total in the league, no D-Man got to 60. Sergey Gonchar 59, Nicholas Lidstrom, 59, Rob Blake, 56, Brian Leach 55.

All-fam Hall of Fame. All Hall-famers couldn't get 60 points. And now in this league, those same type of talents, you'd be like, oh, those are way over a point per game guys. Those are maybe 90 points, maybe 100. Roundabout way, that's your injury report. You know what it is? It's two refs.

They were missing secondary assists back. Oh, there were just really high-scoring games. Everyone had one assist. No, wrong. You ever catch those games on ESPN Classic or whatever, like the 04? Oh. During the lockout, they had it. They threw them on. They were playing the replays and stuff.

I remember sitting on my couch drinking and I was trying to tweet and I'm watching. I'm like, ooh. Well, didn't. I think Kristen Anderson, Kristen Olin sat down, I think with Conroy and maybe Saurich to watch one of those games. Yeah, it was game seven. I was a final because Serich was a lightning at that time. And they were like, oh my God. Yeah, early pandemon.

It's terrible. Clutching, grabbing, holding, mugging. Like 2020, when the world ended, that's what we saw all these reruns. Like, you played the Jays World Series. You went back and it was like, holy fuck, that was bad hockey. Yeah. The guy's water skiing through the neutral zone, just hooking guys? You watch the coverage in the deal, like, I get mad about it now in front of the net because it's terrible.

Yeah. But back then it was murder. Oh, God. Yeah. Like this. Just. UFC in front of them. Yes.

Yeah, like no eye gouging, no fish hooks. That's it. That's the only thing in front. Are they calling it too tight? Well, is it going too far the other way? The question will be, the question will be because it's always, we call it during the regular season, then the playoffs change is going to change. Be consistent. I'm fine.

The playoffs will be that much more exciting if you're giving up three goal leads, right? Like, don't, don't, I mean, we'll get frustrated because there'll be a chinty bullshit call. but I almost would rather that and allow the teams to generate offense and have these swings. Oh, I mean, even that game, what was it? It was the Flames game where they won. Dallas, they blew two goal leads.

Yeah. Two, two goal leads. Two nothing in four two. Anyway, so to answer your question, I don't know if they're calling it too tight, but I'd rather see what they're doing and have these swings and the scoring play out that way and have tighter calls

and more penalties, I'm fine with that. Let's put it this way. If you're up two nothing after 20 minutes in round one, if you're the devils on the Rangers, or if you're the Kings on the Oilers, you're not putting shit to bed. You've got a lot of work to do still. Yeah, you're not going to pull.

You're not changing the channel of that. No way. Like McDavid's going to, he'll score short-handed, and they'll get another on the power play, and someone else will score. This is still a game. They need two more if they're going to win. It's like that bluejay game yesterday.

Oh, shit. Protect a lead. Time for the Pinda report. It's presentation of Village Honda, Northwest, auto mall and online. It is the million dollar buy an event. It continues. Get cash for your vehicle.

Village Honda pays top dollar. They'll throw in a tropical cruise to boot. Seymour at VillageHonda.com. I was going to say, don't go sell him. He's going to take his neighbor's car. Hey, can I borrow your car while I'm in town? Go sell it. Get a ride.

Hey, I got your cruise. I banged up that car a bit. Well, you take this cruise. Get 12 grand in a cruise. Some bastard in my neighborhood was using my garbage cans, and I got a notice saying you can't put that stuff in the garbage. I'm like, what the fuck? I'm not putting shit there.

What's happening? That's a good move. That is a good move. Hey, if you're the neighbors, this is great. I can probably get rid of all my food that I've been hanging on to. Anyway, Village Hawn and Northwest Automall, your dealership for life, they present the Pender Report. Seventh to last game of the regular season fellows tonight. It is in Vancouver, a big one, one of two games left against the Vancouver

Connecture Flames. You find themselves in pretty good stead. Let's take a peek at the flames lines. No changes because, Red, they've won two in a row. You can't mess with success, Pinder. You can't mess with it. 7, 3, and 2 in their last 12. That's what swung the tide for Rets.

Let's see if they can make it 8, 3 and 2. And honestly, the lines have been great. I think there's a lot of people that wouldn't lose any tears or sleep if Nick Richie was replaced with Jacob Peltche. But to be fair, things are working. I get the coach not rocking the boat. It is Richie Cadre Dube, Huberto on the back line with Coleman. And that top line's been good.

Boom, man japanis come back to life playing with Lynn Holman. Now, the lines are all better. Even that fourth line, which we could ridicule for days on end, has been very effective. Why has the fourth line been better? Because of walking down. Anyway, let's take a peek at the Canucks lines. Come on, Flame. Send me a jersey.

I'm back in town. He's a huge fan, guys. He's been supporting you through thick and thin. Or at least for one show. Other people, they fall at all right? Here are the Canucks. Elias Patterson's been sensational under talk. A great year for him.

J.T. Miller had a mess start to the year. Has been really good under Tocke it because Manko's been scoring a ton. You noted that. And Anthony Bovilliers has been also contributing coming back in that Horvatt trade. This is a team that has scored with a bunch of ease considering where they are with the standings. It's the other end of the rank that's caused them problems,

at least pre-talk-it. That's what they're going to look like up front. We talked about OEL and Dermott missing on the back end as well as Pullman. Here's what, yeah, there's the peak of the Paris, Quinn Hughes, Tyler Myers. Breezebois and Heronic. That was the first round of they got for Horvatt,

swinging over to Detroit. And they get a guy that just came back from injury. Hieronic missed about three weeks there after the deadline. And Ethan Bear, former oiler, bouncing around.

They got him and seemed to like what he's done. He was mentioned in the general manager's letter to season ticket holes. Oh, nice. I love the letters. The letter. There's other guys they didn't mention. They mentioned a third pair guy.

They must really like him. Agent loves it too. He's got more leverage. No. Good work, guys. Canucks under Tocet have looked like a different group. Not that they didn't look different when Boudreau took over for Travis Green, but here's what you've seen since Rick Tock.

It's been behind the bench offensively. We noted J.T. Miller, that's a good thing. You've inked them for a long time at a lot of money. You need them to play well. Scoring leaders under Tocket. Look at that. Point and a half for game almost for Lius Patterson. That's awfully tidy.

J.T. Miller, over a point per game. Quinn Hughes, point per game. because Manko scored a ton and the Brock Lobster hmm it's doing all right but their best players have been the best players under talk that you like to see that if you're the Canucks it's not a lot of goals there for Bester necessarily but no

he's interesting contributing right yeah if you told me he'd be a helper guy I wouldn't have believed you what you flirted with 40 his rookie year and you're like oh interesting and decisions there he was not mentioned in that letter no son of a Seems fair. Hardly. Picking favorites.

Standings look like this. Let's go to the West. Oilers got a big win last night over L.A. I'm telling you, man. L.A. still got to game in hand, but they're there, they could be a one seed in the west if Vegas doesn't take care of it. But they don't suck and it sucks. I don't like it one bit. And really, how many years of McDavid did we expect they'd just fritter away?

They're finally starting to win some people in Buffalo. Talk about it. about McDavid. Should be a savior. They tanked so hard that year. That was one of the best tank jobs we've seen in the history of the NH. They did. If they had an expiring contract, he was gone for whatever.

A goalie played well. They ship him out. Gone. Two weeks. I got a 930. Get the fuck out of here. Get the hell out of here. Tim Murray, right?

Do they win the, do they win it? Do they win the division? Vegas has a game in hand and there are two points up. So Vegas is going to have to stub their toe a little. Like, again, that's the similar gap we're talking about with, like, Nashville and Winnipeg here. I don't give a shit about that. The problem is that I don't, I think they're going to be a very tough out in the playoffs. You, but you, as good as that bastard is, he's going to be even better.

There's not, not everyone in the world can elevate their game, especially when you're that elevated already. Yeah. I believe he can. The gap between him and the second best player in the league is massive. He scored last night, that short-handed goal. I don't know if you saw it. I turned it on immediately just as that happened. Holy fuck.

Like a cross seam pass. It's at the top of the circles. It's on his stick. One, two, three, four strides. And he is just gone. He's got a zone. Yes. There's no one else even in the fucking screen.

Scores. One guy scores a goal like that in the whole league. That's it. Nobody that was watching that was thinking, well, he's not going to score. I hope he scored. You weren't thinking, I hope he scores. It's on the board. Yeah.

You're doing the math. Play the fucking music. Two nothing. How much time. Yeah, he's not even cross the blue line and they're just, let the horn rip. Don't ruin the goalie's confidence. Let's go.

And Leon's a mega stud, offensively, one of the most dangerous players in the league. But I always wonder, like, okay, if Connor's not there, he doesn't have 117.

Who made that? Right, like, he's probably got 100, but like, holy fuck. Who made that pass to Kane last night? It was a backhand cross.

Don't remember. Anyway, it was pretty good. I think Cain's playing with dry sidel and hyman. So I think it was dry sotty. You said, Prince? Yeah, that would make sense. All right.

So enough about the fucking oilers. We showed you the standings. We're coming for you. Do you remember an old friend? Old friend making history last night with the Florida Panthers. It's not a friend. Not a friend? I think he's got a huge disdain for us.

I thought it was pretty decent here. first since JR to go back to back 100 plus point seasons how did patrick kane not do that that's matthew kichuk friends the former flame man florida must be running away with that division right they're going to get in well pittsburgh wins last night i don't think they are going to get in i think it's tight pulled up their socks a little bit and i want them out i'd rather the panthers but i don't think they're in a similar spot to the flames i think the climb might be a little harder though it's tougher for yeah yeah there's your

look at the east right there thank you alex appreciate that i mean it's a bit of ground to make up they'll have a tie break if you look at the winds column i imagine but uh you got a game in hand and you're behind them those comments that keith kachuk had were tremendous and they went and they've won two in a row since back to back nights i know you you threw some of them on there the other day but i mean he he torched the fan he eviscerated yes he errated the son's team yeah and not only did he eviscerate them. He's like, I watch the senators all the time. Why can't they work like the senators do? Senators are going anywhere. At least they work. He just called them soft, lazy, entitled divas. It was impressive stuff.

It's tough and the beaches there and you got bikinis and you get the water. How do you play with sunburn under your gear? I don't get it. And Alex, Alex is upset because he says, look at those loser points that Pittsburgh has. Ottawa's only got five. Penguins, they got 10. Like it's. So, well, hey, is there a three on three league? The senators can join. They'd be awesome. Hey? You just do shootouts on three on three. 37 wins.

We'll move along. Tonight's schedule in the NHL light slate, but yeah, Flames fans, pay attention. Two of them are absolutely titanic clashes, if you consider the Western playoff chase.

Of course, Flames and Canucks at eight. Prior to that, wings and jets. Go get your white kernel of popcorn. Pop a ball. Is it unhulled? Get on the couch.

Wear yourself a drink. Get settled in. Hulless. A lot. Hollis White, colonels. I'm going to order some right now. What's it called again? What's that place called?

Earlys. Earlys. Yeah, that's right. Earlys and Sask. Battle of New York, next year this will be better at because the Sabres will be in the mix. But I don't really care about that. Wings. Everyone's a Wings fan tonight if you're in Calgary.

They're in Winnipeg to open that five game homestand for the Jets. 8 o'clock, big game in Vancouver. And Dallas against Arizona. That Central's pretty tight, Dino. It's going to be fun watching that one down the stretch. Okay, next up, staying with hockey, but not the NHL. Calgary Hitman. Can I say some, you do realize that you can get prescription sunglasses.

They're very expensive, I'm sure. I got a guy. You got a guy? Deggy. Deggy boy. Didn't I need to find him? Are you fucking welding? Look at yourself right now.

I get Deggy Pop. I get Deggy Pop, send you something. Sasker. How does he know my subscription? He doesn't know anyone. He just, he puts. pretends to be an optometrist he'll just send you what he thinks is good uh yeah you're squint hard look like a plus four yeah let's go all my buddies that's what he does they go ahead to get glasses

just uh look at the letters what do you see dude this is no good wow and now look at the center fold how many moles do you see okay yeah you're plus three uh calgary hitman you're gonna like this now dina you pay attention here and i'm sorry now if i told you it was a best of seven in the w hl playoffs between the Red Deer rebels and the Calgary hitmen how would you describe your emotions i just want to see good hockey oh please incorrect answer i just want to see you're obviously i'm very excited would be the correct answer obviously i'm very excited they start tonight in red deer and we'll play again this weekend they're coming back to calgary let's take a look at the schedule this is good stuff we got a really good slate of junior playoff hockey can i give you some

insight here. I will because it's coming and I know you got it. Let's first look at the dates here. So they're at home Monday, Wednesday at the dome are the Hitman. Friday, Saturday, they start and Reddard is at a phenomenal season. Game six if necessary. Make it one of those Sunday fun day games. Okay, Rhett, lead us in because I know where you're going. Well, the DUG went and watched the blades. Sold out. Sold out. Great out. Last two games of the regular season for the Saskatoon Blades happen to be against. Connor Bedard and the Regina Pats. That is correct. And who are Connor Bedard and the Regina Pat's playing in round one of the WHL play? The Saskatoon Blades.

Correct. So let's go to that. After selling out the final two games of the regular season in Saskatoon, there is hope that after 30,000 fans nearly passed through the wickets in the last two games of the regular season, they keep doing that for the playoffs. Damn, but I wish I owned that team. It's the only time in the last 10 years you've wished you'd own that fucking team. That's the only thing.

Like now's the time. But I mean, at least Connor for eight years of losses in two weeks. I don't feel bad for Bard because he's going to make enough money, but at least Connor's getting like 80 bucks every other week to play. That's good. So here's a pitcher. And look, if you're listening,

we'll explain to you. The lower bowl only has singles in Saskatoon. And that's a big barn. That is not a Western League barn. It is a 13, 14,000. Well, the blues were moving there. Were they?

Interesting. Well, Bill, look on. Upper deck only, less than 5,000 seats left. Expect huge crowds. in Saskatoon for Badard mania.

Love to see it. So listen, Doug had went and watched that young lad. Yep. And so we were sitting having a beer last night. He was explaining to me how, you know, he wasn't happy with the emotion of the game. He said, and I said, well, what about Badard? He said, well, he's good. And we had the Oilers game on.

He goes, but he's not as good as that guy. And I'm like, oh, the great. He's not the most talented player ever. Oh, really? Wow. Isn't that something? Thank you, Doug. to be measured by.

You know, this kid playing basketball is pretty good, but you know what? I don't think he's as good as Michael Jordan. Doug's take. He's good in tight spaces, but he doesn't have, he doesn't have, he doesn't have that game that McDavid does. That's two warners on the record, a bit overblown, a little bit overblown. It's not under the rug, right, Dean? That's rough.

It's rough. We got another, I believe, one more blades in Pat's graphic, I think. I have no idea what I'm going to. Is it when I, absolutely. No, we've had them both. That's good. Yeah. Cross-checked.

was it oh i went for the paths mulligan yeah i got hit in front of the bench in regina and mulligan screamed get that guy i i took my stick he was skating away for me i went like this broughed it up over his face oh dear brawl afterwards yeah dirty prick you're out buddy i don't get dirty prick yeah also is that called when you do that move you put it in front of him you just rake their face a stick i don't know what that's called It's a dick move. That's a huge Richard move. Want to give a shout out to old pals of the Pinder report.

The Penticton vs wrapped up one of the dog. Oh, shut up. No, no, no, no. They start tonight at home. Shut his mic off. This is bullshit. I got a nephew playing for the competition and you're going to promote the Vs. Get the,

the, spoilbrotten bastards. They got a bunch of ex-NHL kids on there. They all went together so they could. hang out and travel and watch the kids play together. This is brutal. It's a, it's a conspiracy that's cheating the system. Something's going on in Penticton.

That's a nice winning percentage. That's all. So 50 wins. 53 and 1. Tradition of the Trail Smokeyters. You know what? You know who would be pissed off at you? The Trail Smokeyters.

Ray Ferraro. Yeah, Ray Ferraro would be appalled at your bullshit. Well, you know, Ray actually didn't Ray played for both teams, I think. Was Ray not a? I thought Ray's parents on the grocery storage trail. They do, that's right. And in Roslyn, yeah, forever.

I would love it. They got a nice little skiers aren't there? I love trail smokers. I'm sorry they have to face this gauntlet of the Penticton v. Shuts. They lost to him last year, but they were only team to beat them. You better see what else he got in your script there because you watch yourself. He's very sensitive today.

I am or he is? He is, yeah. Okay, well, am I allowed to talk baseball? Yesterday was opening day. Big day. I love baseball. Oh, I'm sorry. It was great. And you know what? There's a lot of baseball. There's a hundred and sixty two. And one of 162 ain't everything. But God, it's good to have baseball back. Aaron, Judge went deep yesterday early in the afternoon for you. First swing of the year. Oh, must be to get that lumber off your shoulder. Gone again. On Pacer 162. Have a season, would you? And the angels, like the star power. Otani coming off that WBC win, trout. I mean, the angels are still the angels guys. 10 strikeouts from O'Don.

Tony they lose to one the poor bastard and he's a free agent next year and you know he's so polite and wonderful come to Toronto like what more can I do what more I'm an all-star hit like outfielder and I'm an ace what more can I do he's going to love that short portion right I got asked last night by my brother is that the best athlete in the world right now it's got to be it's got to be right I mean he's doing babe Ruth things better than Babe Ruth did them. That's, we're talking a hundred years ago. Maybe like you could tell me Dion Sanders, like you're playing center field for the Braves and you're, you know, playing both offense and defense for the Dallas Cowboys. I'll listen to that. Bo Jackson, I'll listen to that. But you can

only name four or five guys in a century doing what these guys are doing. Yeah, he's pretty special. It's unbelievable. Tough loss though. Well, they had a nice highlight as well. Or did he take a non-decision? I don't know when the, it's a no decision for him. He left. It was one nothing. They gave them one run of support, 10 fucking strikeouts. And of course, the budget A's whose payroll is $18 ground out a 2-1 win in Oakland in a football stadium. Grinding, grinding, grinding, grinding. Does he bat any pitches? This is quite a grab, though, right?

Yeah, watch this. This is something. So he turns the wrong way, Red. Can't see it, just throws a glove out. Hunter Renfro. He was a great raider. Got everything. Yeah.

So we go. So good. Now see this again because like once you watch it again, you'll watch where his head is. He's read it wrong and he knows it's going the wrong way and he just throws an arm at it. It's quite impressive. And again, this is the kind of like the angels still can't win. 10Ks in this catch. I'll see, Warner, you could pull this off just because of your arms.

I just throw it out there. It's a hell of a grab. Hell of a grab. Two hits allowed in six innings, 10Ks, no decision. son of it still an angel sorry about that show hey very sorry about that uh the blue jays game was fucking insane like insane um our first blue jays graphic uh so this is a win probability chart this shows like the score and the time and how likely a team is to win too good yeah science let's have a look at it this is a fucking like watching zadorov look at this shit it's all jays how much of you

have to drink st louis st louis st louis st louis jays st louis jays st louis oh now you don't want to swear you were the worst when this started. I really was very horny. Let's swear for no reason. Yeah. Then I was very mad over all the swearing. I wasn't you know. Then the folks are playing porn. He started swearing all the long time. Crazy game. The ocean. To your point. Yeah. Like look at the chart. It's it's nuts. And it's the first time ever. Let's go to the next slide that a team has overcome deficits in the sixth, seventh, seventh, and eighth innings. So. Interesting. Interesting. allowing go-ahead runs in the 6th, 7th, and 8th and on the road and still won.

Actually, you know, the first time ever, the St. Louis Browns on September 20, 1938. Oh, they were a good squad. Love the around. Epic. And we also had this call. It's early, right? So some guys are late to camp, they're building up. You know who's in mid-season form?

The umpires. Oh, look at this there, Dino. This is, I mean, you've got to be dialed in. Jesus. One more day. sir to robot umpires look at this shit you got a foot long sub between that pitch in the strike zone and he doesn't even hesitate he pumps out the fist look at this look that it's coming they're so bad it's coming simbers delivery see you're kind of and look at all

kirk's way off i mean as he's framing the the plate wrong i mean there's excuses all over you know who doesn't fucking get it wrong the goddamn robots it's he's right i don't know if his his vocabulary needs to be that way but i'm sorry I got a little fired up here. And look, the Jay's getting a huge favor here. I think we don't have the swear jar. Someone's getting rich if we had one of those. Or getting poor if they were donating every time we swear.

Correct. See how that works. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Finally, I don't know why you left home, especially when you just finished this masterpiece in your backyard. And like, you know how it is in Buffalo? It's not the ritziest of places.

You got some above ground pools. But just as he finished it, is his perfect man cave, Rhett decides to fly the coop and come back to Calgary. I don't really get it. I don't know why that is. See, I didn't know Rhett was very handy.

Oh, I'm handy. He probably paid some. He's got handy bucks. So here it is. Look at this. So there's this classic Buffalo, right? Man builds bar in backyard to get away from wife.

So we're in the backyard here. Oh, look at that. Scala patio. This looks good. Oh, Bill's flag? Look at this. There's the house. Oh, oh,

We're in Buffalo for sure here. The Bill's bar. He's got football on. There's more bills. Where is this? This is your backyard. Why are you leaving? Just as your contract is finished this, you come back to Calgary.

Embarrassing stuff. Jim Kelly, Jersey on the wall. Wow. Like, you put all that money, capital, time, resources, effort into that. And then you come back to Calgary. I wanted to see if the bills would win this year. I want to be there live and they effed it up. We'll be there for opening kickoff.

Your dealership for life is Village Honda. The above ground pool. That's a Buffalo thing, right? It kind of is, right? It's kind of one of those things where... There's a lot. People have started to put them in the ground, but... still when you're flying over you get a nice view of all the above grounds absolutely now LA is the same

except they're all their fancy pants they got them into the backyard right they're down I don't know what it is just cost effective people in Buffalo yeah there's yeah frugal winter a little better above ground I don't know how it works now I got a text from someone who's I think a lot of people are happy that you're back

and they're excited to see it but one guy is excited to maybe see the shoveler Oh, good. And that's Justin over at Vinova. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. Justin.

She's got something scheduled. I wonder if she accidentally buys two rings like Redd does airplane seats. Like what? Oh, shoot. That custom wanted. Oh, wow. I can't believe Justin didn't catch that. I guess I'll have two rings.

I got lots of fingers. It's really got to work on that customer service. He sold me too. I had no idea. Vena Nova, by the way. Calgary's only lab grown diamond specialists they specialize in exclusively in the lab grown diamonds and maybe it's just because we've been talking about Vina Nova I'm starting to see more of it whether it's on social media or you see it in print this is just it was going yeah he he got in at the right time

this is where it's going savings massive savings as much as 80% off in some cases it's just that's what you're talking about 80% off compared to what you'd be paying for for mind to diamonds in composition denotes compressed carbon position if you want to custom make one you can do so get in there it'll take a few weeks to get it done but you could do that as well and when you walk in the door it's everything there is lab grown so you know what you're dealing with you know what you're looking at they specialize in it second floor at stephen avenue place and we've all some of us more than others have uh have done some work with vina nova and have come away with hugely uh appreciative significant others. I was going to say, like, we're all happy with the, you know, the bottom line on this when you're saving 80%, but more importantly, the better halves have been thrilled with, you know, the life result. The life results of the real benefit. But I'll tell you what, this is one of those things because I went and got something for the woman that I live with. And then when people make it, wow, is that ever nice, is ever, you do kind of puff your chest up a little bit.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I got a guy in the diamond business. It looks pretty good, hey? Oh, yeah, he got it for me for Christmas. Yeah, I did. Yeah, promo code barn burner, yep. So if you want to, you know, walk around like we do with our chest all, frigged out, peacocking. Yeah, peacock and strutting about venanova.com. Do it.

Go see Justin. He'll hook you up. And I think it's a two hour booking that the shoveler has, like two to four or something tomorrow. I'm not sure what you guys have set up there. But that's all good. Who's going to make, who's happier about the return? Like who's celebrating the return of repmoreg?

The nice thing is. Because Greg just gave you a bunch of free, but you're not, that's just an appetizer. Greg gave me food, which led me to drink, which is wonderful. That's the excitement I felt. The shoveler, and I guarantee she has all kinds of things planned and I know nothing. It's mapped out. Yeah, she's got it all figured out. The milk root has been planned for weeks, I'm guarantee.

She knows the people she's got to go see. Yeah. So the whole family came. So the shoveler will be doing her things. You said, now, is there maybe one? one of the boys who's not as jacked up the oldest has a girl that he thinks he's dating so back back yeah back in buffalo and that's you know what young love right absence makes the heart grow fonder he'll only be more in love no you hang up no you hang up so so yesterday for example my my youngest went to school in the morning because his class had some fancy he really wanted to go

They had hooked us up with a Lindholm signed jersey a few weeks ago. We've got the Huberdoe. Yubberdoe signed jersey.

And we'll be giving that one away. We'll be doing that on social media here over the next, let's say next week, next Friday. Take your pal. Someone's got to win it. I'm thinking Huberto is going to get us 12 points in the next seven games. I lost the bet where I took 100 and over and my buddy took 99 and a half and under. That's, I mean, you guys. So far. So far.

Hey, seven games. Seven games. It's not over yet. It's, it is not over yet. Couldn't need a bit of a run, though. Got to have to tuck aside of brownbell for that. Oh,

I was digging in there the other day. It's not good. I know. Because I say, it's like fishing in a bad swamp. He's pulling up boots and shit. Potatoes falling out. And you're not supposed to, right, aren't you? You're just supposed to kind of use.

Yeah, but when you, when you it's just, it goes from here to, like, it just. Yeah. Oh, dear. How did you get rid of that. Have you ever had where you just, maybe you're in the kitchen or you're doing something? Then you're like, you feel something. And it like falls onto the counter.

One of those five pinballing balls. Where'd that come from? What the hell's that? Oh, just some shit in my ear. Hearing loss clinic. Travis Rhodes and the guys, they've got four Calgary locations. They got more in in BC, but for Calgary purposes, four locations to best serve you. Hearing loss, hearing impairment.

It can happen to anybody, regardless of age, regardless of gender. They are a 2022 Chamber of Commerce Professional Services Alexis Excellence Award winner. But he said. Something like that. Kind of that. Professional Services Excellence Award winner. It means they're very good at what they do. Calgary.

They give back. Love Calgarians. And going to have that nice little uniform. Oh, frickin' purse. He doesn't turn down my headset. I need to go in there. I know. Yeah.

You got to go over volume? That's no good. I got to get in there soon. So we got to, we have Bonton done. We're going to get this guy set of wheels for three weeks. That's going to get taken care of, I believe. No, no, no, six weeks at least. Six weeks are here.

Blames are making the playoffs. I ain't leaving. Could we put you on the record for that? Because I've seen some hocus pocus shit with you before. I'll come and go, but I won't leave. Well, I guess that means. See what you're saying, but okay. I think I know what that means.

I'll be around. So if they get in and you were planning to be back, you will return. I'm not, yes. Okay. I don't know what he said. I'm going to leave but I'm not going to go how it's lawyers it's lawyer jargon you get this is like you make a playoff it's a preamble he just took both sides of it he said he was leaving and he wasn't leaving yeah same thing everyone's like nodding like yeah he's

I got ridden down I got it'll be clipped and I'm not I'm not going I might leave but I'm not going I might leave but I'm not getting out of here that's right okay a reminder before we'll get to our bet we bet we bet's the day and move on but tourism jasper we've been talking about But now you can really feel it. Oh, yeah. When, like skiing, how much time we got left? You'd be surprised. This is the best time of year to go skiing.

I'm not messing about. Like, you've got longer daylight hours, warmer temperatures. You can have your lunch outside. Beer, boots, outdoors, sunshine, longer runs. It's beautiful. Still more snow coming in the mountains. If that's the guy that looks like a ski bum doesn't know what he's talking about, nobody does. That's why I went to.

Skiing this weekend. Let's go. There you go. Get out there. Tourism Jasper, skiing in the spring, in Jasper. It's hard to beat. Ski Marmot Basin. They have the escape card. It's been available all season long.

Half-price lift tickets. Still, they're just going to go right through. Start to finish. Conditions are great. Some of the new terrain is open, has been open for a little while. If you've been in the early part of the season, there's something new there for you. Drinks on the patio. So, yeah, also one of those things. It's the best time ever skiing guys. And like in the city, we're done with winter.

It's perfect up there right now. There you go. Oh. And that's just one of the many things you can do in Jasper. they got the sky tram the golf course of course is going to be opening up in a jpL six eight weeks something like that book your summer camping uh camping spot back country front country all of that you can do online get ready tourism jasper venture beyond you're going skiing are you that's the plan i got some shit to sort of but yeah he'll get soap twisted up today he won't go do anything

no okay does anyone else know about your plans to go skiing i've been told we're skiing so no i oh i so okay then for sure he's skiing yeah the warden said we're skiing so Yeah. And what about you? What are you doing this weekend? God, I know. I got to watch young Dax

and his final weekend provincials out in Strathmore. Really? I'm going to go to one of those games. Still playing. Where's he playing? What's he playing? I haven't a clue.

I'm guessing it's a Bull Valley type of thing. Just keep your eyes on that too many men scenario. I will. Keep those roughs in line. Trevor on the bench? I think Trevor is. Trevor. Trevor.

show. Got to remember there's people downstairs. Yeah, last time I had a drinky show that became an issue. What time do they start? Well, they're open, bright and early. Yeah. Oh, for Christ. These are open, yeah. Maybe I'll go get my hair dyed. First thing you noticed. Yeah. Oh, somebody's

gray. Hey, Red. It's not a knock, too. You just said it's great to have salt pepper. Well, plenty. Quit whining about it. You're good. Yeah, sure. Real good. Let's do our Betway Betts of the Day. Let's do it.

Flames are playing in Vancouver tonight. It's all right. Yeah. It's one of a number of games. Is that the West Coast? It's on the West Coast. It's on the West Coast. It's on the West Coast, yeah.

Best Coast, they say. Betway bets of the day, get that Betway app. Put it on your phone. Play along. B-19. Be responsible. Have some fun. It'll just make your life more exciting. I've got a couple of the pre-built bets.

Actually, you know what? I guess the first one's a pre-built. Over six and a half goals and a Lindholm point. Oh, high-scoring. High scoring. I feel high scoring tonight. I do, I do. Plus 140 for a Lindholm point and over six and a half.

The Vancouver Canucks have the 32nd ranked penalty kill. That doesn't sound good. Yeah. Give me Rasmus Anderson for a power play point plus 250. I like that one. Not so sure about the other one, six and a half. It's a lot of goals. But let's go Rasmus, plus 250 for a power play.

You and I are saying. like the Isley brothers like perfect harmonies all that's beautiful stuff I got the Anderson power play point as well plus 250s way too big of a number when you're up against the worst penalty killing league Rasmus has been playing great of late and the man of vanish has not been the impediment

that it was in the middle third of the season I also really like and you man Japanity keeper going he's playing with Defoli and Lynn home all he needs a point almost even money did they win a high scoring game against the Connix?

I feel like if the if Daryl has his, well, look, I mean, it's not gone. I'll be drinking again on Monday if they lose. Yeah, like I think you want a three one game, not a six five game if you're looking for a win, don't you? Whatever. Take it. Oh, you'll take any when you get. I got eight one flames. Let's go.

Eight one. Let's see here. Those are our way bets of the day for those of you that, you know, are playing a lawn. It's either a crippling loss or the biggest one of the year. Buckle up flames fans. Yeah. And are the Canucks in that same? Do you think they're, like you said, talk?

Oh, they've got to be tightened. Let's screw these guys. Let's get there. Sure, that's the message. They're having fun. For sure. To Rett's point, the Cabo's booked. Yeah.

Their last game is April 15th, and on the 17th, which resort is that? Oh, you guys are there? Yeah, we're two down. We'll lay towels in the middle and the kids can play beach fun. What boat do you want to rent? Yeah. The 100 footer, they're 120. You said you cut.

Was it Mahi, mahi there? Was it sailfish? Oh, both? Amazing. Yeah, bigger boat. We'll invite. bigger boat because I don't want to be on one of those ones. Besters can come to.

When the whale lands on it, I want to survive. Bigger the boat, the less seasick. Let's go a bigger boat. They're scoring goals, gentlemen. They've scored all year. St. Louis, they had five. Lost. Four versus Chicago.

Three against Dallas. Seven against San Jose. We'll score three against Vegas. Only muster two against the ducks, but then before like five, five, three, four, four. We're putting the puck in the net. All season. This is a team that can score. And you know what? Demko has been hurt most of the season and just okay when he's been healthy.

And the blue line might be the worst of the NHL. Do the flames only play tonight or do they play Sunday too? They play tonight, Sunday, Anaheim. Don't do that after burner? We haven't assigned rolls yet. Is it an afternoon game or at night? 6 p.m. Well, that's not bad.

WrestleMania. It is a two-day event. I saw people tweeting about it. It's a Saturday's got a big slate and then Sunday as well. But I feel like the Sundays and earlier start. Maybe not. Do you think the tribal chief is finally going to drop the strap? Who?

That's right. Is that wrestling related or is it? Is the Bushwackers what he's talking about? The American nightmare might just be the guy to do it. I've oddly gotten back into it a little bit because my kids kind of gotten into it. The show, they put on a performance. It is really unbelievable. You know when wrestling's at its best is when there's someone pushing the WW.

And when there's no competition, they get lazy and the stories get meh. but like AW's pushing and it reminds me of when it was WCW back in the ANS. It was like, you better be on your game or they're going to take your lunch. Well, we had that clip the other day. We'd tell you, but they had us taken off the old internet.

Sorry for showing Darren McCarty going to power on through a TV or through a table, I guess. I don't know why we, if you're one of those, and if somebody's playing your highlights, why you just be happy? So you're getting it out there. Wasn't that their old saying that any publicists?

Yeah. Would it be like, Hey, here's another highlight. Would you play this one for us? Hey, we were talking about your event. Then we'll get more people to subscribe and watch your event. Stop and now! Get it down!

I wouldn't have heard about that event if I hadn't been watching these guys post-to-to-all. They're not allowed to. Oh, brilliant. Bad marketing. Bad marketing. Well, that's it for today. We are all like, I guess, this is for the next little bit. This is how we do things.

Well, flames effed up. I'm leaving. But if they make the playoffs, he's not leaving unless he's gone. I'll come back. then it'll be, or something like that. Around. I'll be around. I'll be gone, but I won't be leaving.

I'll be to make the playoffs. Get a win tonight. Get a win just so it really tightened shit up here. Right? That third period against the LA Kings, well, and I'm the third, like that game,

that's the best wet blanket they've done with the lead all year. I said to Pinder it on the way in because he picked me up, I said, if they ever step foot, back in the playoffs, race or in the top eight they won't give it up tonight could be the night could be tonight and here's the thing not so much against vancouver because we've told we've been playing pretty well but if you do

lose you've got the canucks then the ducks then the black hawks if that game against and then you play winnipeg if that game suddenly against winnipeg doesn't mean as much because you lost to the ducks or the black hawks shame on you to your point everything else it can be ancient history if with seven games left you now want to take care

of the business you should be we'll let you off the hook for all that other shit forget the rest clean slate just finish six months off all you got to do

is play seven and you know what you just talked about that is what Winnipeg's thinking like I don't think this Flames group is thinking about man we can't fuck this up I really believe the Jets are thinking

man we can't fuck this up we got a five game homestand they just lost to the shark like a shut out on the road. Eeler's on the third line. Coach is calling out of veterans. Sheifley and Wheeler not seeing out of.

Connor's not scoring. Hellebucks, they're riding them like he's the only goalie they've ever heard of. They've got all kinds of pressure. Detroit makes it one nothing to lead. Andrew Copp goes in and scores against the Jets. Patrick David Perron. Oh. A cop would be good.

Well, that's going to do it. That's Barnburn. thank you to all the sponsors who make this show possible. We ask that you support them.
