Hey, Retro, rank the tough guys. Salat guys here. McCarthy, Oliwa, Barubi, Simon McGrathie, Simon, McGrathen, Jackman, and Warner. Well, Jackman and Warner aren't tough guys, so they're off the list. Willing to do it and credit to them. Oh, yeah, I have scrapped, but aren't tough guys. You didn't go into another team's building and their other teams going, oh, shit. Jack and of it

Warner damn it the other five certainly are who that is a list all five Ruby Simon Mcgratton Oluwa McCarthy

Oh Sandy not McCarty I was thinking McCarty No Sandy McCarthy I don't know that I will say Slouch Be careful Like as you're listing these

And ranking Some of these guys As less tough than the other. Burubi would be the smallest, but fought the most. Yeah. Oddly enough. Si was scary lefty.

Sandy was scary. Yeah. I watched Oliwa in his prime. That one year he was here. He was hurting people. Yeah. And McRatten loved it. Like that's, I feel like Oliwa hurt people.

Like he was a punisher. McGratton loved it. was very good at it. But yeah, like Simon and Oliwa, scary. Yeah, on the edge of Scary Tough. Well, and you underrested, well, or Ruby. Like, oh, yeah, yeah. There's no.

Yeah, he'll, he'll end your night. I think when you're in that league, it depends on the day. You know what I mean? Yeah. That, and I think it's because of, uh, in the last couple of weeks, that game against, I think it was Anaheim, that classic where Barubi, it's near the end and things have got

things have gone haywire, Baruby is in the penalty box, it's what, coincidental penalties, so they can't come out until there's a whistle, right? You know why this is coming up? That's because of Sawyer. Kevin Sawyer, that's right. Kevin Sawyer is expected,

it hasn't been announced, but is expected to be the new color analyst on Flames Tele. television, which I want to mention that before we go to. Let me remember. So yeah, it's it's a big Donnybrook and Sawyer has run into Mike Vernon. Yeah. He's right near the end. He's back in Calgary. He gets run and things are going crazy. Ruby is in the penalty box and it's coincidentals and it's right near the end of the hockey game.

So he he wants a piece of somebody. Times running out. But they're not going to get out because it's coincidentals and you don't get out until the pin, until the whistle hits. Dave Lowry has the puck on his stick, sees the clock going down, and flips the puck into the crowd. Before there was a penalty for it, just foop, oh, whistle. Out comes Barubi. And they drop the puck.

Smiling, just pumped to be back. I'm getting somebody. Thank you, Dave. I love you, buddy, and I'm getting somebody. That somebody was Jeff Freezing. Yeah, Greg Gilbert, I think, was the coach then. Never have you seen a coach less, in control of his bench.

It's like, so, Barub, okay, so Dave, you're going to, okay, so Barubi, you're going to, oh, so you're going to take the, okay, yeah, just like two guys left

on the bench. It's just been a complete donnie brook. Yeah, Baruby. Played in Philly. They would have loved him there. Yeah.

So there you go. I think you got out of that without, uh, I fought him in Philly. You fought Broub, oh, that's right. Yeah.

What were you think? Well, I was trying to, I'd just gotten traded to Buffalo, so I'm like, no. See if the guys like me. I didn't get beat up. Didn't he say something to you? He said, Warner, you're strong. I said, Chief, I drink whiskey, too. That's right.
