All right, buddies, here we are. It is Wednesday. Is it? Yeah. Sweet. Tis. Fourth of June. You get your butter, Jack?

Happy fourth of June. See you. I know you're part of American. What's? Oh, yeah, Independence. That's right. Big one. Big one.

Celebrate. Get your fireworks. I don't hear about it up here. Watch your fingers. Yes. Rushers. Yeah, look out. Back it up.

Back it up, Ted. This program, a presentation of Bet 365, Oh, Beth 365, that app, going to be busy today. Get into the action for the Cup playoffs. Stanley Cup final against tonight. Official partner of the Stanley Cup playoffs, B-19 or older to take part. And all the super chat,

you want to get in during the course of the show live on the YouTube. Put a little money down. We'll take the money and donate it to the youth centers of Calgary. And then post your comment on the program. Yeah, send us to your Alberta well wishes. And then we'll comment on your comment. Well, we'll judge you. Potentially, yeah.

Probably some judging. Might be questioned you on your comment, maybe. Of the harsh variety, unfair. Oh, oh, what was that? Is that our, that's the laptop that at this point, do you think it, or is it the? Okay, but it's not the show. We're still live. Oh, no, we're good.

The show's good. Okay. So it's either the, I think the laptop would probably be best served as a serving tray or a boat anchor. I needed a boat anchor yesterday. When fishing gets like, you're fishing. Wish we had an anchor. So you didn't know why Jack?

He's been talking about fishing for like a month straight. Jack has never paid me the pizzas that he old until Jack steps up and gets off his Monday, pizza day, right? Don't bring it on money. I don't eat on Monday. Why don't I eat on Monday? Why did this start? Steaks were great yesterday, new marinade.

Tuesday sticks? Really good. What was the new marinade? It was more of a sweeter. There was a little brown sugar, and it was caramelized, nice. The crust was good. Very good.

It's a smashed. Now, there's a new version of smashed where you smash the potato and then you fry it up and make it crispy. But I just did like the, I didn't peel the potatoes. I just boiled up little red potatoes and smashed them with butter and garlic

and all kinds. Bear come over. Real good. Jack, you're invited. Real good. Real good, Jack. Real good. Real good.

Real good. What? Well, I'm just thinking, it's opening statements. It's McLeod Law. Try a new, call the Peter at McLeod Law and get a new marinade. Call Peter Klein.

Yeah, get a patent for your new marinade before someone steals it. You've already given them some ingredients, brown sugar. should have that to yourself. Damn it. Download. Damn it.

Maybe if you have suffered a personal injury on the job and you're trying to navigate through all the murky waters with your workplace and the legalese. Just don't do it. Contact Peter. Contact. To an expert in there.

McLeod Law. You worry about you. They'll make sure that everything else is being, that you're being treated fairly. That's all we ask. Not looking more than our, for more than our fair share. Just be fair. Be fair, be honest.

Yeah. Fair and honest. It's all we want. There's a game tonight, and I know we're all very excited to watch it. Can't wait to discuss it. Can't wait to watch it. Can't wait to break it down again tomorrow. This is, it's really lining up for us, Dean.

Yeah. Over under how many minutes you're going to watch live? Steak or burgers tonight, Dean? Well, you just had steak. I know. I saw a burger burger taco be I was bored last night of sitting in the freaking parking lot at the Calgary soccer center awaiting the highly anticipated match between Axman C1 and C2 right head to head gotcha at the soccer center but there for lacrosse yeah yeah I was confused and then I watched somebody cook a burger a burger taco taco on one of those big grittles.

Yeah, yeah. Look delicious. Do you have one of those grittles? No, but I should get one. I got Doug one for Mother's Day, Father's Day combo. What I called the man grade? How about that? Have you heard of the man grade? Ah, yeah.

So who, which oxman, did the axeman win? Yeah, we've only got one loss. We're real good. Yeah, real good. You've been given any speeches ahead of games, or? Nope. But the shoveler did a five. fine job getting you know you got to do your volunteer in right yeah do buddy as soon as that

volunteer list came out penalty box penalty box penalty bucks penalty bucks penalty bucks penalty box penalty box penalty box yeah so good so good easy piece not going to say anything what were you saying this morning about getting older getting old it's not the best not for not the best i don't think it's something you should strive for but yeah it's better than the alternative To us. Jack? That's the alternative. Stop it.

Oh, man. That's a huge boy. Yeah. Working hard or hardly working. Yeah. Honest to God, I think I woke up this morning. I think my eyesight got worse overnight. Overnight.

Really? We got worse overnight. It's worse today than yesterday. Son of. I think I need glasses all the time now. I'm looking at the road signs and looking around. I watched a Rogan where he said he could reverse. I know, Rogan.

Yeah, it takes some. Yeah, just to chew on some car tire and blood and we've got lots of bison. Gurglemonia and the way you go, your eyes are better. Yeah. Reverse is the macular. I know. Yeah, sure. I was just going to say we got to bring back F I'm old, but I think that's just a show now.

We can rename it F I'm old. A bunch of old fucks. Yeah. Yeah. Rather than a segment, it's just. the whole show. But I truly, this was, okay, so we've got, we got the dentist, and we got a jeweler, we got a law firm, who's our eye to do we? Oh, we shouldn't. Then there you are. We need an optologist. Some right, we do. Help this guy out. Shee. If you'd like to sponsor Boomer's bad

eyes, I'm watering all the time. Contact delivery. Can't see. There's a lot to, that needs done there. I was thinking, like, how many years am I from just like going to a sporting, they just said somebody tell me what's going on you kind of you're going to be have to wear a i gogglers turn on that like described visuals on your tv it's like and the player is throwing it into the service of play this is less exciting now that i'm blind anyway um tonight's show i'd be maybe okay i was good so so in that respect we shouldn't take for granted the fact that we can see and we have an opportunity to watch a hockey game better bitched because there was no hockey and now there's hockey and we continue to bitch i think that's the

the if I'm old show. Yeah, that goes back to the old thing. Yeah. What's going on over there, note takey? It looks like the penguins are just tired of new head coach. I'm sure who the hell he is. I mean, regarded. Maybe you were.

Yes. And you could have told him he moved in the door next to you. And I, oh, okay. It's great. It's a nice guy. Yeah, it was at that, you know, that event we did the other day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great.

Hot dogs. Loves them. Now, at the same time, I don't think it's because we don't know what we're talking about. No. I think this is a this is not a common Jack, you should put it on because you're a big Pittsburgh guy. You should put a pole out there and go

Why aren't you breaking this news? Who is the new? You should be all over this. Coach. Totally excited. And poor Mitch Love is going to be a runner up again. Yeah. I was really looking forward to Mitch Love. You guys hyped them up last week. Yeah, we're hyping them pretty good. We get Dan. Williger. Dan Mews. Who's Dan

Mews? Who's Dan Mews? Well, guys, he was the assistant coach of the flames oh that's henry amuse his brother well how do you say this one uh m u s you'd say it the same but spell differently oh so like you're that's like that's right that could get jack that morning musings that's not going to be good for jack this different spelling stuff yeah i know should have seen him trying to spell rock and roll hoochie co this morning go ahead right two years in assistant with the rangers prior to that three years of the the national development team program. Three years as a national assistant before that. Two years running the Chicago Steel, the USHL,

and five years at Yale is an assistant. It's been out of a journeyman. Yale! The Bulldogs. Ivy. Well, congrats. Fancy pants. I've never heard of.

On getting to coach Sid, unless he goes to Colorado, please, please. No, they just, they're also, don't need a center. So is everyone done then? All in, all done? All done. In terms of coaches? Yeah. Has Boston made Marco Sturham official yet?

It sounds like they haven't because they might be waiting on Peter DeBore. Oh, really? I thought he had a gig. He does, but what happens, they might be curious about it. So they're happy to lose in the third round. That's better than finishing sex from the bottom or whatever it was for them this year. Or a sports show. Well, no, I...

And then Seattle, they named coach earlier. I have no idea who's coaching in Seattle. Didn't they hire someone? Is it the girl? No, she's going to stay on as an assistant, I imagine, though. You know? No. Jessica can't back?

That's her name? No, not the girl's name. Who's the head coach in Seattle? I have no clue. No idea. Did Quenville get hired? Anaheim. That's right.

You back. He's back. He's back. Lane Lambert, which of course is why the other Lambert left Calgary. They hired Lane Lambert? Yes. Wow. So it's now GM Jason Botterill, President Ron Francis, did such a great job.

They got him upstairs. That's the gig right there's a Pittsburgh connection there, right? Botterl was the Adrian there. Yes, and then went to Buffalo as GM. Yeah. Francis, of course, a penguin for a long time. That was long before Jason Bottero was the GM of. They wouldn't know each of them somewhere.

He was in Canada. Carolina, Francis, not Pittsburgh. I guess he never did. Did he not work for Pittsburgh in the front office? It was Carolina's whole career. Okay. All right. Director of player development in 06, AGM 0708, and then GM 2014-15.

Yeah. Not long because he was very highly regarded. Well, and then got shown the door. Quietly six years in Seattle as GM because they hired the GM before they even started play, if you recall. did a couple years of the GM and no team. Yeah. What a cushy job that was seriously.

This paid leave, man. We got a little harder at this stuff. Okay. So who is this? Who's this coach? What's it? Dan Muse of the Penguins or Lane Lambert of the Cracken? Damn news.

Do you know Lane Lambert? I know. Well, he's been a Saskers. He's been a head coholy. Oh, he's the islanders. Oh, dear. Is that our boy DeForest or the shaved head? Kind of looks like him.

Oh. Who is this, James? Jack. That's your new head coach, bud. I don't like this at all. Is it really? What? This is how you judge a coach, by the way.

Yes. Jack's getting right to brass tax. I love that. Take your resume. Just hang on to it. Let me look at you for a little bit. Give me a stern look. I need the cut of your jib.

Like I just iced it on a power play. Give me a look here. Well. I mean, the Rangers are awesome. I want to say something smart assy, but I'm just. I know. Don't do it because we're better than that. Well, and if we hadn't blackballed

rat. This could be his job. I understand why he might be a little sad. No, Dubus is a dork. He would never hire me. Is that what Dubus is doing? Hiring, hiring dorkier people. So he feels less dorky? It sounded like you said exactly. That what you mean. You not say anything. He basically laid it out. What are you talking? Don't put words in my mouth. Use your own. Okay. Tell me what I'm saying. I would never say something disparaging. Like right, Jack? Never. Never. Wouldn't do it. Certainly not.

there you go. Hey, who's he coaching? Pittsburgh. Congrats, Pittsburgh. Oh, Pittsburgh. All right, Sid. Yeah. One Jersey player if you wanted, I guess. Jack, call Sid, see what he thinks. Hey, Jack, can you put that picture back up for one more time? Do you still have it? That's AI, isn't it, Jack. Now, again, we're just trusting the Jack. Jack's his spelling is terrible. That could be any grown man standing behind a bench with no hair. But this from G-foundant, more like Dan unamused. Am I right? Grant Muses.

That does not. Real good. Oh, boy. Yeah. What if we're going to do? Like, we've already acting like there's nothing to talk about. There's so much to talk about. God, there's a lot to talk about.

It's a new coach. Yeah, it's August. And remember, lots to talk about. Never slow. Four hours. Then you can go. You know what else? It's up.

What's that? Talk about the Brock Lobster. That's why Sid's not going to Colorado. They just got their second line center locked in. The Brock lock it in? He locked it in. Wow. Okay.

So Brock will turn 34, 34 in October. Do you want to guess the money or the term or both? Brought in as the second line center. Well, I know, but it's, we're not going to judge it. It's more just like, I think. Give him the term. Three years. Turning 34, 34, 34 and only three years?

So it's 34, 35, 36 year old seasons. He was an extended. essential conversations with the Islanders before the trade happened. Lou's gone there. They gave up a lot. Get him. Blanking.

So the kid. We're all blanking. Come on. Bradshaw. Richie. Yes, Callum Richie. Thank you. And a first.

Amongst other assets. Callum. Rich. The top organizational prospects. And that was kind of the number that had been floated. His last deal was six years. 6 million per.

It expired. He's now back a three year for seven and a half. Oh. Second line center. All of a sudden, Naz is looking like a bit of a, you can't trade that contract now, right?

I would much rather have NASS. Well, that's kind of what I was thinking. Now, you've already given up a hall to get Brock and you're not giving up any assets to keep Brock, but who would you rather have? Nazim for four more years at seven or Brock at three times seven and a half.

It's an interesting conversation. Brock's got great character. I'm sure he does. And maybe I underestimate Brock's abilities, but seven and a half. Brock's big. Yeah, we're in 6'4. 2-15?

Is that what we saw this morning? You got to play big to say you're big, Dean. And he might be, but he's playing on Long Island, so nobody knows. Yeah, he might be the most. He could be the second-commonious checker in the world. We'd have no idea. So congrats to

that music. guy. Dan and Brock Nelson. What a day. Do you want me to do the Independence Day? Those two fellows. Yeah.

Knocking it out of the part. On a U.S. holiday. Amazing. This much work getting done. Now the abs aren't going to like this, but I'm going to have to do this. Are you?

Brock Nelson and Marty Natchez will combine to make $14 million next year. Miko Rattman will make 12. 12. well i don't know what the point you're getting well i mean it's just like oh we can't spend that kind of money

on this guy is like well but they have two players well and so it begs the question what would you rather have a brock and a i would rather have natures or ranc but i would like it for less than 14 because i think brock's not worse seven and a half at 33 you're getting a fucking sorry raise like yeah we were saying just a nice little it's turning 34 in the fall Just a quick 22.5 million to send you on your way. It's decent. Let's get to the insider hotline. Oh?

We're ready. He's going to snap on us. No, he's, you know what? He's going to, please don't tell me he's in Edmonton. I'm not going to handle this. He's not in Edmonton.

Thank God. But he does have a bat if you're not careful. I like that. He'll use it on you. Yeah. Crystal Waters, plumbing and heat and get 10% off a new air conditioner. Receive one year of free preventative maintenance. If you don't have an EC yet, what are you doing?

Now is the time to do it. And no one bad. better than Crystal Waters, plumbing and heating to do it for you. The Crystal Clear choice for home comfort 403-219, 4100, or check them out at Crystal Clear Calgary.com. Lil Slugger himself, Jamie McCleger. Guys, what's up? How are we doing?

I'm good. And no, I'm not in Edmonton. They are sending us for games five, six, and seven, depending on, if necessary, all that fun stuff. but I'm just sitting here with my, my, oh dear, shameless plugs. Look at that. No, I don't get anything out of it. That's true.

I've never once it's up in anything free. See, I feel like you've got your, you've got your irons in a lot of different fires we learned over the years. Yeah, there's a 15% chance you own a small piece of that company. I would love to, actually, to be honest. I would put money in from a venture capital group into that, but they probably have already been funded. I'll be honest.

But I do love this flavor. And if they're listening, you know, I will pay for... We have. We've made connection with the folks that co. They're aware of this happening. I'll pay for a flat to be delivered to my house. But I will not accept freebies. So is what it is.

See, and I'm all about freebies. I thought he was the money management guy. You're not taking free? Well, I could pay more and I'll choose to. You know what? Free comes with, I need a favor down the road. I need this and that. and, you know, it just sometimes, like, I'm looking at two free hats over there on my left,

my screen here. Probably three, but yeah. Well, I don't know what the logo is. It's very attractive, but it looks pretty cool. Let's go to the RET cam if we could. Well, this will all make sense. They bring us beer. And we're big fans.

Well, I love it. See, that's cool. We got our own beer. See, we support each other, Jamie. I love it. Well, I don't have anything. Nobody likes me enough to give me free stuff. That's not true at all.

You know what it is? It's just, that's cool stuff. And it's tied to the show and everything. I mean, I, you know what? Even I'll show you this shirt. It's a vintage goalie shirt. I love their clothes. And I know the owner is out of Ottawa.

And he offers, he will send like a free, you know, hat and stuff like that. But I tell him, I'm like, you're a small business. Take my visa. Let me support you. and I want to pay for it. So I will order. We'll just have your credit card number. We'll just have your credit card number.

We'll just want you to support our podcast. Just read it out. Jack will jot it down. Similarly, it's like my buddy beef. He runs his hockey tournaments, AAA kids. He's like, I don't want volunteers. I used to get volunteers to run the time clock or whatever. No, let me pay you so that I can give you shit if you don't show up or you don't do it right.

Yeah, because a volunteer with like exactly, like they don't have skin in the game. They just, hey, I'm here on my own time, so what do I care? Like being married. Well, I mean, technically, I mean, I don't think anything. I want to get back into the Brock Nelson, Natius conversation, though, because I heard you before coming on. Can I give you the stipulation first? Because that's for one year and then Natchez is going to get a huge bump from the six of that. Yeah, he's kind of an awesome.

What I'm reading, is this Natchezus a pain in the ass? I don't know. Where are these leaks coming from? that apparently he's not thrilled in Colorado. And maybe that's way off base, but we knew he wasn't happy in Carolina. The dad was the squeaky wheel a year ago. Yeah.

Where is this guy going to be happy? How about play better? I mean, he's a hell of a player. I will say that. But, you know, I don't know what will make this guy happy. Like, I think sometimes, if you just said it, if the dad is involved, that's a package I don't want. Yeah.

Because it's a pain in the ass. Like you're going, now you've got the player and the kid and the dad's probably telling the kid, he's the greatest player. You're better than McKinnon. You're better than McKinnon, son. You're stuff like that. Like knock it off.

Get out of it. You know what? I would tell the kid, nature's grow up. Tell your dad to sit in the stands and watch you play hockey. That's what the medicine have tigers. I'd say to Rhett's son. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Like I could see, well, no, you're the exact opposite. I don't see you climbing the glass and yelling at people. Not. That is more of a problem nowadays than we would know about.

100% and I'll even go a step further because now it's the wives and the girlfriends, the W-A-Gs or whatever they're called. Did you see the article the other day of Lauren McDavid and the Wags in Edmonton and all they all wear team coats and everything? The last thing I would want to do if I had a girlfriend and bring her to the game is have her identify that she was my girlfriend. Now I'm not playing well. Somebody's going to give her hack and approach her and stuff.

Like all it is is drawing. attention to people going and and and the kids are in the glass and warm up and and it's insanity like I I get now there's a package that comes with players the player like to me I there should be a layer these guys never get privacy why would you want to open a can of worms to open your your private life even more and it's odd because there's a lot of things they do to get privacy but then they'll go out and do something like that and like high five in their kid through the glass it's like Well, you've just eliminated all your private. Like, and I get it.

It's a heartfelt thing, but. It's weird. I'm sounding like a crumagine old man. And I'm not trying to. I'm trying to look at it through the lens of today. But like you just said, Red, you can't have the best of both worlds. You can't go, leave me alone. We want our privacy.

But, you know, in our life, we want to do this and just leave us alone if we want, you know, if I'm going to walk around with a jacket on or if I'm the, If I'm going to be right front and center, you've got to accept what comes with front and center. If you want to be private, like I think of a lot of guys that we played with Red or even guys like near the end of my career that I played with who are quite private people.

Jay Bowmeister comes to work. Bo just played hockey and was really good at it, really good. But like you never knew. I knew his dad, Dan from Evanton, but like he didn't know his wife, like, His wife worked in a clinic. I walked in there and she's like, oh, hi, Rhett. Yeah.

But that's the thing. Like you didn't know about people's lives. Like you didn't. And I get social media has really brought that to the forefront. But now I would see the guys that I played with. I don't think their wives were like, hey, I need to be front and center too. Like, Kara Ginla could have been. like Jerome McGillow's wife could have been like that,

but she was, she was involved in charity. She was great in the wives' room. She was just a great citizen, just like Jerome. But it wasn't like, look at me, look at me,

everybody. You know, I need some attention. Sorry, I'm not trying to interrupt you, but I've gone as far as saying. I actually believe this and it doesn't matter. If you want to get McDavid out of Edmonton,

you go to Mama Bear and you go, come up in a shop in Toronto or wherever, New York, like that was just an example. I'm not, I know, but I've said it, I believe it. That's not looking at Lauren McDavid, because I think, I think what they are is invested in Edmonton. I think she's, you know, small business owner wants to do that.

I respect that what I'm saying is that there's articles in the paper about it. There's, there's more attention on now the unit of a player when there's, they're very private and a lot of times they want privacy, but yet here, here's more. Here's more publication. Here's more, you know, hey, out here, now you're going to have lunatic fans that want to go and do something and their private space is going to be invaded. So I think there's a fine line, but they put themselves out there. So it's just coming back, and this is coming back to the nature's conversation, like he's a hell of a player. But at one point, at what point, like it sounds like in Carolina, the dad was complaining or whatever.

again, you just pick up nuggets. I don't know the truth. But it just, it doesn't sound like it's good. Like this is a kid that comes with baggage as opposed to just being a really good player. And he continually said in Carolina, he wanted to play center, one place center, one place center. Well, he's not playing center in Colorado

because they're going McKinnon. They're going Nelson, Charlie Coil, Jack, Your Honor, one, two, three, four. Those are your four centers. Like they literally brought in three centers last year. They didn't move them to the middle. Maybe that's the thing, or maybe it's not,

maybe this is just someone making up shit i don't know go ahead yeah yeah go ahead buddy when is it the player i'm i'm trying to think of guys like that if we're playing with guys like that you'd pull him aside and say get your head out of your ass yes at some point does this happen like tell your yeah at some point the player has to grow up and go but sometimes it takes a player to tell that player right like yes i agree like sometimes you have to have now I can understand like keep in mind right like there are guys that get into the league at 18 and 20 21 like you know that the their their family unit is around and rightfully so I get that but you're seeing guys that are 26 27 like married family and you're like there's the package

that's coming with them it's like okay enough there's got to be a line in the sand to go this is my life just in my livelihood. I'm a man. You know, it's funny. Mike Babcock, his whole lines, one of his lines in Toronto was always like, we've got men trying to feed their families. And, you know, like the, and, okay, so yes,

if your men are trying to feed their families, then they don't need the parents and the brothers and the uncles and the cousins and all that stuffed into the penalty box for Instagram, waving, and like, I'm being facetious. But you know what I mean. It's just, it's, I just think there's a line. and I get it.

Like we're going to be around the finals. I don't know if you guys are going to be driving up for it. You don't want to. But I'm going to be around the finals. And that's a different animal. You bring your family. Everybody who helps support you get there, they should have a piece of that.

I get, but on a Tuesday in November, no, like there's got to be a line drawn going, let me do my job. Is there a Caesar steakhouse in Edmonton? Yeah, because you owe me cheese toast, pal,

Okay, so I'll let you know a little secret. I was in Calgary last Friday for the day. I went to Caesar. We're in the credit card noodles. Oh, no. That is so dirty. Hang up on him, Jack. Hang up.

So we're real tight. It was not a good. It was a tragic thing. So that's why I came in for a day. There was, you know, it was just not a good thing. Put it that place. Yes. So it wasn't her funeral of that, but I just, I came into show support.

And so for me at the end of the day, I wasn't calling friends in that. It was just, I was in there. And one day, and I went to Caesars and I thought of you, rat, and I do owe you cheese toast. And a full meal. Actually, you know what? The four of us should go. See, that's what I'm talking about. Screw you.

And I will pay. I will buy. a nice dinner there and the drinks are on you because you guys drink heavily so i'm not paying for all that alcohol i'll bring some coves for you don't worry yeah you bring cove but i will buy the cheese toast the appetizers and the steak but great great food look at this guy yeah uh so you're going to be around the finals we are what i mean we're loath to talk about it we were saying we bitched when there's no hockey and now there's hockey tonight we're cheese we're gonna watch this freaking game.

I'll speak for myself. I have more, if you want to call it, trepidation fear. The Oilers have looked so poised and they've controlled games and for the better part of series, five games, five games, even LA. After they got off the mat at 2.0 down,

they cruise to a six game. They look so composed. That's just the word I keep throwing out there. They can literally be undefeated in the last two rounds. like Vegas scored well Vegas scored off of yeah like with dry cycle stick and Dallas went wild on a on power play binge in the third period no they also got some overtime wins but they've been in control basically since game two thirds the way through game three game four have been but and and I if I would argue

that emminton's had a tougher pathway than Florida you know like maybe like i mean tampa's a hell of a team i think toronto's a good team and i think carolina ran out of gas well so let me ask you because we we talk about it obviously what is it about dallas and they just looked so spent and done for the better parts of both of those series is that is that edmonton's doing because on paper yeah Vegas and dallas they're powerhouses they were nothing to speak of in rounds two and three well you know what i know what i know what always comes back to goaltending, but that's the one thing that Edmonton was able to get to. Darcy Kemper's up for the Vesna. He gave up

five goals once this season. Evanton got him for five goals like three games in a row for fun. Aden Hill, up and down season, but down the stretch, really stable, won a cup. He's proven winner. And Edmonton got to him. Now, they got to him a little bit greasier. They got traffic and got him off his game and that. But like, they, They got to him. Jake Ottinger statistically, I believe, was the best goaltender in the playoffs heading into that series.

He had every one of his games was a quality start. He hadn't had a poor start. Hadn't into round three. It was like him and Freddie Anderson were ahead of the field. Yes, you're right. Freddie Anderson as well. And they got to him. And he looked quite ordinary or worse.

And so that's the one thing. You're right. Like the other team, like you can break it down, the mechanics. And, you know, I didn't see a lot of the top players for Dallas show up. I think it was Emmettin's speed. It was their physicality. I think their D were really good at moving the puck quickly to get out of their zones. They weren't hemmed in their zone for extended lengths of time.

I know there's a weird thing to say. I swear to God that John Klingberg helped stabilize their D. Yes. Yeah, they needed a puck move. I think it was Jeff Jackson spoke. He spoke in the break and said, or in one of the in between periods that he said that Stan Bowman was bullish on getting another puck moving D and not a defender. And they got Walman. So they've got a puck moving D on each pairing.

You've got Bouchard, you've got Walman, and you've got Klingberg. And Kulak can move the puck too, can skate. And Stetcher can move and skate if he's in it. And at home, like their D are moving. mobile and can move the puck, and that's all they need to do. So I look at it, they weren't, now, Florida's a different beast, because Florida four checks like madmen, and they're deer, aggressive on the strong side, and they're always pinching down with somebody on top.

Now, I would say if Edmonton is going to have success, you've got to have quick puck movement right out of your zone, into the neutral zone, and passing with speed. And I'll give you an example, game seven, Toronto, Florida. Florida was overaggressive. Toronto had three breakways in that first period. That could have been in it. Now, it was Lorenz. It was Neelander.

And it was the other guy they traded for from Philadelphia. Scott Lawton. Had that had been Matthews, Marner and Neelander, the score might have looked different. Now, you give those chances to 97, 29, 93, you know, 91, guys like that, they might score on those chances. So that's what I'm looking at is, Edmonton has been really efficient at getting out of their zone

and moving in with speed. Can Florida combat that and make them play in their own zone a lot more? That's where Evanton could get in trouble. If I told you team got to the Stanley Cup final with an 896, a percentage, would you believe me? Yes. No, but I would because keep in my, everyone thinks 92. I think the league average was what 902, 903 this year.

Like it wasn't, it wasn't over like it's nine out of 10 now. It's gone back. It's reverted back. It's not it wasn't for years it was 918, maybe up to 920. You see guys that are, but but the league average is nine out of 10 for the most part. And what they need is nine out of 10 goaltending. And that's really because they're the highest, both these teams are the highest scoring teams in the playoffs they're both averaging about four goals a game correct yeah so it's it's a race to four if you're gonna give up 30 shots you get nine out of 10 you get that's three so it's a race to four now if you

can tighten up the game then it's a race to three but that's that's that's what i'm seeing and that's just that's not anything brilliant that's just statistics it's there each team can score four so and then and the say percentage is around nine So that's what I'm looking at. Well, and you've got Skinner and Pickard. Both guys have six wins. You don't see that very often going into a cup final. One of the finalists.

You're like Pittsburgh and Carolina. The only teams I can think of that far as Philadelphia had. Hussard and Leighton, maybe. Scott Darling gave some games before Crawford took over there in Chicago, one of Chicago's runs. Remember Darling played, I think, the first, like, or played like game two to six with Chicago against him, something like that.

And, you know, listen, it's weird, because if Edmonton finishes off, which I don't know, it's a coin flip. People are like, it's just Destin McDavid's going to get it done. I'm like, have they watched Florida play? They're a hell of a team. So I will say, if Edmonton does win, you can look at the turning points of, you know, byfield not getting it out. Game three there. That could have made it, that could have really been a dagger. Yeah, for it.

The goalie challenge. You know, those are two because those are critical ones where we could easily be sitting here and going, man, Edmonton had a pretty good team. They just couldn't put it together. Just couldn't. It all didn't come together in time. You know, Klingberg was just settling back in. Kane was just settling back in.

Frederick was limping around. R&H didn't have a great season. Heimann didn't have a great season. Back home was out. At home was out. Skinner was injured down the stretch. McDavid and Drysidal by their standards. Drysidal was the only guy who had a great year.

McDavid didn't even have a great year by his standards. So you look at it, like they all came together at the right time. And it was almost like they were like, wake us up when the playoffs start. And it took them a few games before they got going and now they're going. But this long break, I have no idea what to expect tonight. There's less similarities. Like Florida was the same.

Like I don't know how much they cared about anything after the four nations. They were happy to get guys rest. They didn't care if they were a two or three. They didn't. What are we looking at two, three seats here? Because I think Tampa was chasing Toronto for the top scene. They were like two, three seeds in the division in the final. And both are like, yeah, yeah, this is just the dress rehearsal.

Like, our best is ahead. We don't care. We're going to get right. We'll bring everyone back when it matters. It's funny you say that because Paul Maurice kind of stopped short saying that to me down the stretch. They did a game in Ottawa. And I had a good chat with him out in the hallway before the game.

And he's like, he goes, Jamie, we're not playing. bad, but he goes, we're just not, he goes, we're not there. Like he could almost say, like, even talking to Rob Talas, the goalie coach, he's like, you know, we're right there, but he goes, we're not, you know, not, it's almost like they weren't invested. They were just playing, playing, playing gay, it's a Thursday night in Ottawa, we're playing. And that night, they were unbelievable. Actually, I think either All Mark or Forrestbrook stole the game, because it was back-to-back

games where Ottawa's goaltenders stole the game, because it was Tampa that put up 29 high danger chances. And I think Foresburg won the game 2-1, something ridiculous and same thing against Florida. You could see the framework of like really amazing teams, but they just kind of were coasting. And Evanton was the same thing. Now, you know, Kasparee Kappan, like, you know, they're getting guys that are chipping in. But I would argue it's dry-sidal. You know, they put dry-sadle with Podkoulson and Kappan.

And he goes, you want to play with me? play straight line, play fast, and get to the net, and I'll make you look good. That's kind of what's happened. And they do look good. So be interesting to see. I think, you know, I look at factors on both sides. I think Marchand is always going to factor in. I think Kachuk knows he's always going to try and factor in.

He started to look healthier against Carolina. He didn't look very good against Toronto at all. And he was a non-factor really against – I know he scored early on against Tampa, but I didn't think he was overly dominant. but I think he looks healthier a lot now. So it's a coin flip for me, guys. I could see this going seven. And, you know, I really do.

I think both teams are really good and possibly better than last year. I think they both say they are. I mean, I know, like Seth Jones is a good player. They swap up Montour. They bring him in. Marchand, that's another guy that fits their DNA in Florida. Yeah. He's got to feel better about their goaltending going to the final than they did last year.

Klinberg's a revelation. they've found the depth they didn't have last year. It doesn't feel like a one-line team. I think both teams should tell you the better than last year. They are, but how does that? I think the crazy thing is how does that match up? That's the weird thing because you're not playing a different, like you're playing the exact same team

just with a few different characters on it. Yeah. You know, that's the, I think early on we forget. Florida got up three nothing, but Brobrovsky, I think he stole two of those games. That's what I was just going to say, Bobrovsky to me is the key because you've had goaltenders that are really good that haven't stepped up to the plate

and done the job that you needed them to do against the best players in the world and to help you win. And Bobrovsky do it again. I agree. I think that's the biggest thing is if Brobrovsky, you could argue today if you do a case study, if Edmonton wins, it's probably McDavid that wins the Khan-Smite. If Florida wins, it's probably going to be,

Bobrovsky that wins it. Because even if Barkoff or Reinhardt or Verhege or, you know, Kachko, go nuts in the series, they're still going to need saves. I don't see this as, you know, Florida winning in six and winning a bunch of games, six one, six one, and the goalie's not a factor. The goalie's going to have to be a factor on both sides. I think Edmonton can get by if Skinner's good. I think Florida will get by if Brobosky has to be brilliant on

certain instances, which I pointed out for Florida's aggressiveness, we'll get them in trouble, and the goalie has to be a difference maker. And to be fair, the resumes aren't close. Like, you're talking about a two-time Vesda winner, eyes pay goal in the league, up until what a Chesterkin deal. Like, he's, they have a clear edge in net. It better show up in the next series or they're going to lose it. And Bobovsky's numbers in the finals, just kind of looking through that pack,

the NHL sends out, his numbers in the Stanley Cup finals, five wins, seven losses, 3.51 goals against 875 save percentage. Yeah, I mean, it's... He's been really good or it's like... Well, that was last year's final. Where's Bob? He was one of the best players. They got blown up by the Oilers in the three losses, right?

That's the problem is, you know, those numbers are inflated because I was there at game, wasn't game six like an 8-1 drubbing? Yeah, thumping. Or game... And you talked about earlier, like, it just ties in nicely. The Florida Panthers get up 3-0, and you're talking about the distractions that family and girlfriends friends and kids provide.

All the family's there for game four in Edmonton. They fly up because they might be able to win, right? I believe it was Florida with home ice. Yeah. Then everyone's back to Florida. Then they're back up to Heaven to game six. And then they're finally back in game seven. The only time the Oilers had to travel with that circus of family around was going to

game seven because they were never in a spot to clinch until that. Yeah. My understanding in talking to people from Florida, they brought the whole whack of them up on the game four, game six. they were like, no, not so much. They really pared it down because I think they were getting, you know, you're getting a little more nervous, right, going, hey, like, what are we dealing with here?

The other thing is, I think if you're going to look at experience second time or third time around, it's going to help Edmonton. Because first time around, just talking about, you know, cousins, uncles, everybody needs tickets, everybody needs this, and I'm flying in. I haven't seen you in two years, but I'm going to stay on. your couch and want to want to come to the game like and it's a circus and i think now they know what to

expect it's media day it's louder it's noisier the city's buzzing you know how are you going to approach your game day you know all that type of stuff ret you can speak to it you've been in a final what you know what was that like i know it's different with social media and stuff that but like was your game day routine different was you know was the distractions was it noisier it's way noisier unless you shut your phone off and don't get involved in it i mean i was single and it was easier and the first two finals there weren't even cell phones so it's wasn't such a big deal but the last one i literally kept my phone off it was like i'll contact you if i've got tickets so there was you'd talk to a few people but the best thing and everyone's different some people like the noise i didn't i just want

let's focus on what we're doing here so it it's very noisy especially if you allow it to be. Yeah, I remember Robin telling me he got a drum set and he got so tired of having pregame naps. He was like, I just go down and play the drums. Yeah. My naps were shortened because he said, you're just, you're so wired during the day. He's like, you're just going to lay there anyway. So he goes, I go and play the drums, listen to music. Like he found like a different routine to get to the game. And I think that's the biggest thing now. I can't imagine as we, we have, actually put a bow on the distraction of the group that come in you're at home and you're playing a game and your parents are there mom wants to cook pregame girlfriend brothers uncles sister like you got to go

i might stay at a hotel i would think 90% of the time the guys are staying in hotels just for that reason or at least that's how it was yeah i would it's you know it it it may be nothing but you just think about things that potentially could be an edge for the oilers you're back for the second it was just last year, it's the same team. So the travel, you know what the travel is. You know what the climate is. You know what the rink is. You know what the, all of it, the dressing room,

all the stuff that maybe threw you for just a little loop here or a little loop there. Yeah. You're so much wiser this time around. The thing that I'm kind of, I've kind of, home ice. Edmonton has home ice. And they've been so good. You think about those series where they've started on the road and they get game three and they just demolish teams when they get back in there.

And then you think of Kachuk in the Leaf series, talk about there's just so much pressure on the home team to play. We were just so happy to come in here. We had no pressure. We could just take, like, so what's it going to be? Is it going to be feasting with that crowd and that energy,

just how good the Oilers have been at home? Or is it the Panthers being the Panthers coming in there and being the bad guy in front of their home crowd? That's the crazy part because you can make an argument for both. The only thing I would dig in, remove the emotion is, I saw a stat, I think it was Mike Johnson who brought it up, that McDavid last year head to head with Barkoff,

it was like one goal to one goal. It's the best defensive center in the league against the best team. But away from that matchup, McDavid's line was five to one. So starting at home getting away from that matchup and finding, you know, Chris Knoblock finding an extra shift for those guys on an icing and stuff like, that. It might be, you know, home ice, I get, you know, the crowd is the sixth person and all that.

I'm talking tactical. Like you find, you know, you find that matchup and pinpoint on Florida's third pairing and, you know, find a extra shift for McDavid or dry saddle here or, you know, you come back with them. That's where I think you can have that advantage because you've got two of the best defensive forwards playing for Florida in Reinhardt and Barrow. Markov. And you know, top two vote getters for the Selke. And I was a voter.

I had them in there. Now, I would, I would, when Drysell actually applies himself, I have him as a Selky guy too. He's a hell of a player. He can play in all situations. I just think times where he's like, nah, I'm good. Like, there's, there's times. Now, I don't think that'll be the case in the finals or even in the playoffs who haven't

seen that. But there were nights on, you know, a Tuesday in November, he'd be like, not, not doing that. Like it's too, you know, it's too hard to get back there. But I look at it. It is going to be fascinating. And I had some X factors going in that were kind of unsung heroes. Lundell for me is a really pivotal guy.

Because I think if Bennett leaves, he's their number two center. Like they're like, and he's a really good player. And on the other side, it's Henrique. Because Henrique, I think, you know, that's a third line center. He's going to get matchups. on the road that you're going to have to win that matchup or at least tie. And if it's third line versus third line, Florida's third line has been dominant.

I was just going to say, noodles. You think about over the years, you remember Detroit with the grind line and Anaheim when they won. Tampa Bay, they had their third line. That lost, Larson,

and Lundell, third line has been so good. Yeah. On night, okay, we got Reinhardt under the shack, Kachua was a little bit off. Lost Rhinon came through with two goals or Lundell with a big, goal they've been a really good third line and and a lot of it has been in talking to people in

florida is marchion has got those two apparently they're they're very like just quiet fans just do their job just do their and and he's got them like they they worship him you know in a good way like they're like this guy is an amazing and and marchand's big personality apparently early on when he got to florida he was injured he was trying to figure out okay you know i'm i've been a captain i've been a loud personality, how do I fit in here? And he just let go and the boys just love him. Apparently he's just like one of the most popular guys in the room. And, you know, he's invigorated that group.

I don't think they make it through Toronto without Marchand. He was their best player. You're right. And so I look at it. He's an X factor, but he's too popular. I'm looking at unsung heroes. That's why I thought Lundell. and I look at a guy like Henrique,

who's got to be a difference maker for the Oilers in a positive way. And not scoring, but he's got to do a job when he's on the ice. That's the, you know, that's why they, he came there kind of on a value contract and they brought him back because I think he's a hell of a player. He's a really smart player. We can't keep you forever, but that's true. You're going to flip a coin or how we decided who's going to win this thing?

Yeah, how's the spine? The spine of the team, when you put the, When you overlap the rosters, that's how Noodles does it. I mean, the edge is in goal. We know Florida, but Skinner, the skinner doesn't, the thing is, is the gap can't be that big. That's the biggest thing, okay? And I think Evanton's D is, as I laid out,

puck movers on each pairing, they've been really good. At home coming back is a big plus. Him getting that game underneath his belt is a big plus because he's a big, strong guy who can be physical in front of the net. So yes, I like Jones. Yes, I like Eckblad. Foresling might be the best defender in the series. But I think they're deep kind of wash each other.

And the forwards, there's tremendous depth on both sides. But 97 and 29 are the two best players in the games. So I give a slight edge just based on those two to Evanton. But the team game, Florida's been there, done that, and they've also excelled. Like they've actually won it. so that intangible might bring it back. That's why I'm telling you, it's a coin flip. I don't have, I mean, a week from now we'll be talking,

and we'll be deep into this series. And most of these games anyway, it's like, oh, there's the one bounce of the puck, and oh, it hit a shin pad, or oh, that was posting out and not posting in, or oh, it got the knob of the goalie stick. And I mean, we've seen so many one goal games in this postseason where it's just like, yeah, it's crazy. It's cruel. One bounce can dictate,

what we think this guy's a loser, this guy's a winner over here. ask Pete DeBoer 10 days ago the guy was the greatest coach on the on the planet and all of a sudden now they're like

oh you embarrassed the goal to or you did this and that you're like all right well I didn't feel like he needed to drive the bus over him and back up over him like the series was over he kind of did right?

Oh yeah yeah yeah there's no need for that series is over you don't need to throw any gas on the fire there was just no like I know he was emotional and all that there was just no need I had no problem with the pull. I just thought he should have gone back in. You put him back in.

You're going to yell at everybody. Get your head out of your ass and go back, you know, get going. But you don't give the goalie opportunity to do that too. So, you know. It was a weird one because I said that. I said, if you're pulling the goalie, then don't call time out. That is your timeout. Yeah.

But I think he was so. Tell him at the beginning. Don't wait until it's over to tell him. It was just a weird transaction, how it all went down. And then at the end, to like, you know, you lose whether... He just said I wanted to pull the goalie and

to spark the team and we're looking for something to get us going. Yeah. But went to a very prepared almost statement about his performance last year. Is there more to it though? Is Dubour pissing people off or is Ottinger a pain? Like that's for me.

None of it makes sense. I'm like, this is weird. Something's weird. Like something's off there to the point where they might have to have a beer together this summer and, you know, squash some stuff because Ottinger's got eight years left. I know, but DeBoer, I'm more looking at DeBoer because he's bounced around after having success. I'm like, well, something doesn't feel right here.

Five of the last six conference finals. Maybe it's just circumstances, but. Guys missed her game seven. Just get him to game seven. Yeah. Just can't turn around three apparently. Couldn't do that. He's not.

You were saying if you're Jake Ottinger, you're the guy. You signed the eight year deal. You're in the third round elimination game. Two goals and two shots. Okay. Well, I got to make sense. but at the same time guys are we ready to play yeah and then your coach pulls you and you put casey de smith not not a storied n-hill veteran who's maybe been through casey de smith the rest of the way so

you sit on the bench you're embarrassed you lose and then your coach if i'm ottinger i need some time before i'm having a face-to-face with debor yeah you need to go fishing in michigan or whatever they do there but i i agree like it just is a weird i just didn't like the way that that all went down because you could argue and I I think Dallas is a hell of a team and they've gotten there every year now they've got to get over the hump but they're not that's not blow it up type of thing it's like hey we need to keep adding pieces we need internal growth

we need all of these things but in the end you know it just it was such a black cloud over you know a week earlier you're like this this team can be to Evanton this team's really good and and it's amazing how the perception of something can change in one week. Like I could argue, and I always know, I always bring it to Toronto. If Toronto loses in double overtime in game seven to Florida,

you go, it's a pretty damn good team, you know, and that got beat by a really good team as well. But it's the fact that they got blown out two home games on, you know, and boot off the ice and that. It's the optics of it. Whereas a week earlier, they're like, Toronto's making the cup. You know how it is here.

They're making the cup and took care of Ottawa. But so the perception is like, oh, got to blow everything up. Well, I think you need tinkering. You need, and it's the same thing in Dallas. And if Edmonton loses, you're going to, you know, they're not just going to blow the team up. You've got to reload and keep trying. That's the biggest challenge. You know, like I say, I think everyone's lean in Edmonton, but I wouldn't sleep on this Florida team.

Like I think Florida is a hell of a team, but, you know, McDavid is a man possessed. So we'll see how he's going to handle with it. Just back to the Dallas thing. I'll let you have, did they have a goalie consultant or a goalie coach that can fly in to try and kind of soothe and calm the waters between the goalie and the coach? And get poisoned on a boat or something like that. Because you did that. Didn't you have to kind of go and talk to? Myself and Mike Keenan flew over to have a visit with Mika Kippersoff.

Yes. And we went for some great steak dinners and some beers. and it was a great visit. And I really think, no, I don't even think. I know it helped. You forget, like, we forget. We show up for training camp. The coach is already in coaching form.

You're not, you know, you're not getting to see, what this person's like away from the ring. We always talk about Daryl Sutter. I mean, Darrell's the greatest human away from the rink. Like, you know, and he doesn't talk hockey with you. Like it's family, it's, you know, farming or, you know, you name it. Like Daryl's very. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

But when you're around in that environment, it's hockey and it's intense, you don't get to see the best of everybody all the time, right? And that's, I think that trip was a prime example of getting to know the person involved, not the actions or the comments in heated moments. they you know a lot of teams i'm sure do it behind the scenes put it that way all right pal will you get out of here are you off to the golf course today is there's the go i am i got to go right now i don't know where the hell this thing is all right get a collar shirt on noodles come on clean up your act i do but i got to be on the panel tonight so i'm taking a collar shirt and then i can't wear a golf hat because my hair is got a you know the lego hair's got to stay on so got a lot of a lot of motion here

all hell's breaking loose and i'm starving i got to eat all right get out of it There he is. Jeez. He makes a really good point about the coach thing I never thought about. Because like how long do you guys hang around when a season's over? Zero. And how jacked up are coaches in their offices for like three weeks before the, for the player even arrives for training camp?

They spent all summer. After at the end of the year, the coaches sit around and have a, and go through all the bullshit at the end of the year that the team wants. And then they're there early. So what are the odds you'd ever run into your coach? when his guard's dead. You'd avoid him like the plane. No, but I just mean like when his guard was down, what are the odds are running into your coach in like June? Like zero.

Zero. And even if you did, you'd probably avoid him like to play. Yeah, you're like that guy's up my ass anytime I do it. And the training camp starts and you have every hour for two weeks mapped out. And you've had for weeks. Yes. Line combos, power plays, drills you're running food. You've got it all. Yeah, you are in absolute game on mode when the guys, hey, how are you do?

Do you have a good summer? what you're in family dude you got get your get your shit on we've got uh three out we got uh we got we're only allowed to be here for so long a training camp so many hours yeah hey how's the family great now we get this new four check i want to explain to you like it's just there's no time for that all noodles i hope he got a cooler a cove sodas loaded up for the golf we'll use those contacts we have the lego hair tv hair he's the perfect because Now, I think people know what we were referencing. We talked about it a week ago.

It was whatever year it was, 08, when Kippersoff is in net versus San Jose, a playoff series game seven. Mike Keenan pulls him and puts in Curtis Joseph. Goal. Goal immediately. They lose game seven and the series. And there's some raw emotion. And Kipper, who's not a talkative guy to begin with, just he was the first.

I mean, he never did media. they'd have the exit meetings and then come down and talk to the year i remember watching him like being whisked out a side door it's like yeah we're not getting kipper today oh you don't think so no i just saw him drive away yeah he's gone um so yeah jamie he's the he's that guy he's perfect for that let's get together let's figure this out let's have a drink news got stuff running around doing all his tv stuff he's got to be a consultant in dallas let's go It's good at everything. You have to be important enough to have that.

Well, that's right. You could be a donkey and nobody came to visit me. I have to be. Well, I was very upset at the San Jose loss as well. Did you get pulled? I didn't get dressed at all. Right. So you didn't get a whole game.

You didn't even dress. You have even more right to be upset. Self promotion. So Keenan had the lineup written on the on the board. Yeah. The dressing room. And then he had the games played, the playoff game.

games played of everyone it's my name wasn't up there yeah so i wrote my name up there i wrote down my number of playoff games played it was more than everyone everybody combined yeah jeez i like that yeah yeah a few that's our boy but then i did run into him in new york once it absolutely yeah clobbered sure it's a good guy with the rink or if you're having beers with mike just there's a lot of weasel vibes there i don't feel like wow Well, I think, top of the list for hanging out. Really terrible old school approach to coaching when he started, right? Nasty, nasty stuff.

Well, the thing is he had success with it. That's right. He'd be in and he followed up more, yeah. Right? He went to Philadelphia and they went to Stanley Cops and ran into Gretzky and the like up there, or would have won Stanley Cops that he went to the Rangers. Chicago. Like, he just, he won with that.

He got the name Iron Mike via honestly. It was, he was a prick and became more prickly. And they kept winning. That one about just getting the kid on the bus. Getting them in and then putting them back like, he did some nasty stuff to people. When you could send guys to the minors, you had considerable sway in guys' careers back then.

Pack your shit and get out. Imagine doing that now? To where? Yeah, the coach is not doing that. Yeah. Where do you have no move. You can't send me down. Yeah.

I have six years left. Why don't you go? Maybe you should go. Yeah. That would be the Jay Godinger. I just signed eight years, Pete. Pete's going to be a lame duck coach or he's not going to be there. That's how that's going to go.

You're not extending him now. And a guy with his pedigree would be like, hey, I'm up. Let's talk extension. And what is that? How does that go in terms of like frequency when it becomes a trend? It's like, okay, he's been a very successful coach who has been let go. And we're removed it. Despite on a success.

Not the ultimate prize. Third round, five of the last six years, I believe, and he's been fired three times. San Jose, Vegas. Hasn't been fired yet. Feels like it might be close. Hearing loss clinic, owned and operated right here in Calgary. Right. Yeah.

Travis and Sabrina Rhodes. Leaders in our city in terms of business, in terms of community. and they continue to give back, and it's kind of what their business is all about, is giving back, helping people in their everyday life. People of all ages can suffer from hearing loss. Issues can be especially challenging for kids because they don't really know how to,

they don't know what they're looking for. They don't know how to describe what might be happening, like us wise adults. We're so wise. So wise. Studies show that health risks like dementia, depression, others have been linked to untreated hearing loss, custom ear protection.

I hope a lot of, There's so much around here. Do you think they've all gone to the hearing loss clinic? They better be. They haven't. They should. All these donkeys out here. Five hearing loss clinics in Calgary.

The Chinook spot is lovely. We've been five locations in BC. It's about empowering everyone to be socially active, connected, committed to loved ones, confident in every aspect of their life. And truly, I think, kind of the revelation that there's things going on in your brain, that while your brain is having to work harder to hear,

there's other things that potentially devastating effects. So hearingloss.c.a is the website. Get them, get it in there. Just go summertime night. Maybe your work schedule is a little easier. Kids are out of school. That sounds good. We should look into that.

You got time to do it. Hearingloss.c.a. You can go to the Chinook Mall pancake breakfast during stampede. They just walk across the street. She's kitty corner, Jack. Just kitty corner. They're okay if you're all pissed up for one of those hearing tests or no.

Maybe before the Stampede breakfast. Maybe. Yeah. Is that what happened? That Chinook one might be a clean one. Yeah. Dry one. I was going to say family friendly.

Yeah. You'll be fine. You'll be fine. Roadsie. What a guy. Good looking. Same hat. Same earpiece.

We're peas in a pod, me and you. Yeah. Twins. That's quite the thing. Nuddles in the media, a former athlete was like, oh, I don't like taking free stuff.

Has he been taking free stuff since he's about 15, 16? Here's a track suit. Here's a hat. Here's a stick. Here's a gear. Here's, I think he's full of it. I agree.

I think he owns a piece of that company. Yeah. He owns it. Yeah, we just kind of. It's planned up. Oh, so you don't own it? Oh, okay. Well, that dog.

Oh, noodles. You silly goose. Every week. He's pumping it. The shares are up. 28%. 28%. It's fantastic.

Let's do the Pinda report. Pinder report. How's the, how's the chat, Jack? Because I look over and I see a lot of venom. I see a lot of, uh, betrayal. A lot of bad

language, unsavory, uh, shoot terminology. Jack, don't be afraid to give someone the boot. Give him the old heave home. Yeah. If you need to. It's hard to to watch the chat and do, yeah.

You got an eye on it sometimes though. You can boot people. I'm hosting the show. Jack, he's busy. What the hell did you do that whole interview? How are you possibly busier over there? Just kidding. When Ryan calls for clips and you don't have them, I mean, you're busy doing that. Jack, do you have the hang glider?

Let's go to the hang glider. Yeah. Hang glider. Do we have the elephant eating a truck tire with a snake in it? That's tomorrow. That's coming up. Village Honda located in the Northwest Auto Mall. They're your dealership for life.

Ryan Pinda. Ryan Pinda. Rett's informed us we need more Pike content in the Pinda report. So let's get to the Pike now, shall we? Here we go. Oh, Jesus. Pike, settle down. No.

No. No. What's that headline, right? Fair trade. Red, read that for us, please. If the Oilers win the Stanley Cup, comma the flames get a better draft pick period i don't like that at all and honestly i uh 31 to 32 may the team with the most kachucks win that's what i said i know what i'd be willing to

sacrifice for a lawyer's not to win a stanley do you want to tell us yeah that better draft pick yeah exactly that one spot i'd give you my right nut uh let's give you just give him the pick. Take it back. We'll get your first to just not win. Shit. Take the rights of some guy in Russia that's never coming over. Just win this damn thing. I don't like this either.

The CN Tower, apparently a huge jerk. What? Do you know how much Toronto and Epitavans hate each other? They've been yelling about Matthews, McDavid, Drys, Eiddle, and Marner for the last decade. I don't like this at all. If you run a

tower, you're a loser anyway. There you are. see all you tower runners how's the tower doing the how's it tweeting it's not even the high building it's a tower that's not towering above anything go ahead color put all your color hey come to the top of the tower and look up at the other buildings thanks you haven't been there literally towers around there's calgary tower for sure yeah calgary towers a joke see and towers not the highest building in Toronto is it not even close yes damn it's like one of the top 10 tall so the calgary tower is kidding what you're talking i'll tell you what i'll tell you what if

If they do that, packing my ass. Well, you know what? That thing's coming down. How much can we pay him to get pendered? Please put this up. You see what the tower did last night, Ryan? I'm out of here. Remote broadcasts the rest of the year.

That's great. Thanks. The flames bring back Gary Ramo. Let's see. That's how I'm feeling about it. Packing your ass. Who's taking a train anyway anymore? Well, here's the thing.

This whole rivalry. I want to. This whole rivalry. with Calgary and Eminton. Apparently started in the 1800s over just that. Oh, for Christ. The previously surveyed Northern Alignment

for the Canadian Pacific Railway was abandoned for the southern route. This is a... Pike bomb, pike ball. It's a pike bomb. And so guess which route did go through Edmonton? CN!

Those jerks, they're still playing the Eminton card. CP came through Calgary knowing it's the better city, place to be. Favorable connections with the American railway system preferred by the federal government. This is the number two story on the Pindler report. Stinking C.N. Rail.

It's the Pike report, and this is what Pike's talking. These are the things that Pike is looking into it this time. Let's get into some gossip and potentially entirely unfactual information regarding the draft, which is coming up in like three weeks. Oh. Oh, the mamu? Mammoth.

Shopping the fourth overall pick. Of course there. Sure, they are. They want a young top six forward. Rett, do you have any young top six forwards you could trade to get the fourth overall pick? You can pick any if you're Utah. Take anyone you want. We'll take four.

If I'm Craig Conroy, that's what I'm saying. Sure. Yeah, take one. Really? Ryan asked. Who do you have that's going to be better? Yeah, absolutely. Zerry plus 32, plus 18.

Who's the fourth overall pick? Getting a good player for you. You're getting a center. No, no, no. You can't just throw it bullshit. Well, I don't know who's getting taken it second and third. Carter McDavid, no. It would be Frundell, Misa.

I mean, Schaefer's going to go one. Who else was a fourth overall? Higgins could be there. Sam Bennett was a fourth overall. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

In Florida, we're in the playoffs. Ryan asked me this morning, if I would trade Zeri for the fourth overall pick, and I deliberated for a moment. And he said, yes, you would. So he asked me and the answer is yes. He told me what my answer was. I didn't want you to get bogged down and thinking about Conner's area.

Okay, well, if it's that easy for you, then they're going to go tell you to pound sand. That's correct. Yeah, which makes me wonder if this report makes sense. He's a young top six forward. If you can't get a top six forward with a fourth overall pick, like you want a top line forward for the four. I would think, yeah.

Like this don't make sense. Dave. Is it possible that the NHL rumor report is a bunch of hooey? Well, they're quoting Dave. So we'll have to ask. Dave about his Oh, is it possible Dave Pagnata's full of hooey?

It's possible. Well, it is a rumor. Yeah. That's where we're at, folks. We're reporting on rumors here on this fourth day of June. Let's get to some facts, non-rumors.

It's the tail of the tape between the Panthers and the Oilers. Do you bring Pike back in for this? Oh, no. RIP. Both teams, quite good. In fact, winning about three times the amount of times

they're losing. Both flirting around four goals. a game. You can see Florida better defensively with the goals against. Gold differential tidy on both sides. Edge to the Oilers and power play. Edge to the Panthers and penalty kill. And the same percentage, 9.05 to 896.

It's a considerable penalty kill edge. I thought the penalty kill for the oils had been better. Absolutely crushed the first three games against the playoffs. That's true. And again, I mean, if you want to handpick games not to include, like, you know, the first three

against L.A. if you're Edmonton or first four or if you're Florida, like, yeah, we're just going to ignore the two O deficit we found ourselves in these numbers would all look even better. Good teams. They both belong there. They both pretty much dummy each of their opponents with relative ease. I guess the only caveat would be the L.A. series

for Edmonton and the Toronto series for Florida. God, we could have so much phone if they lost L.A. There still could be fun, Red. You just have to wait eight weeks until this is over. Did you bring it up or was it someone else around the rinks this weekend that said Gretzky's first cup? When and against two? Islanders after.

Well, yeah, that's losing to the islanders. Crosby's first cup. McDavid was asked about this. This is a different story. So I'll take Connor's word for it. Thanks, Con. All right, Colin. Let's move.

Feel free to F it up and not we. Are we? Are we staying in Edmonton for the assembly media? I'm wearing orange. Yeah, you're gross. Get out of here. What was wrong with me? You literally played for the Panthers.

You don't have a jersey you could have ripped that? I have a jersey and I was going to, what a fail. This is, I'm sorry, people. And your balls are blue. That's, I mean, you got to think about these things. Sorry, people. It's about better for you on a big day. Back to you, Ryan.

Expect a lot better. Okay. Let's get to another award. The NHL gave away in sneaky fashion, those tricky devils. Oh, Nikita, you got to go meet with the coach. For the progress for the last week trying to get all the guys out here for the Ted Lindsay Award. The plan was too. Obviously surprising when it got off the ice, but then I didn't skate today.

So we had to really rally the troops and we put them in the sauna for 25 minutes and cold tub. And, you know, tried to prolong so everyone can make it in time. I know when we met at the end of the season, I told you for the year-end awards that they were flying the winners to L.A. or something like that. They're giving you the option now. You can go to L.A. I will fly you, Anastasia, the kids, whatever you want. If you want, they can fly the trophy here and just do something locally. So whatever you prefer. What trophy? Well, if you win one, like, yeah. Yeah, it'd be nice to be nice.

Yeah, it'd be nice. Yeah, just not. It's a long fight. Tampa's already a good spot for a vacation. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Everything else, good.

Yeah. All right. Good. All right. Take care, Coach. Yeah. Yeah. Very natural.

Yeah. That's the honesty. That's the players voting on the best player in the league. That's what that is. And Keith Kutchev another monster year. We'll fly you and your kids and your wife out to L. we'll take care of everything. I'm good.

But you know, Tampa's already great, right? Right, right? What trophy? Oh, shoot, I gave it away. Julian, you're not an actor. Well, the awards, I mean, they are still doing a show. They are? Yes.

Kind of. June 12th, a one hour special before game four. It's pre-packaged. It's not live. The Hart and Vezna winners will be revealed. Those will still be surprises. hosted by Isaiah Mustafa. The Lion King?

No. See the good one or the bad one? It's the good one, wasn't he? Scar. Scar was the bad one, you know, for sure. Isaiah Mustafa is an L.A. King's fan, a former football player, but most commonly known as the shirtless

old spice pitch man. Oh, yeah, I know that guy. He's funny. He's the guy. So for the one hour special, shirts optional. I guess. to take this stupid.

And those pre-packaged, they'll run, because they've done that for a number of the, we actually didn't see the one that they did for Barkoff because Jack didn't run it or have it. Somebody. Thank you, Jack. Break down. And so we now know two of the major awards. So I'll get rid of the other one.

Bing, Lady Bing. Oh, the binger. Who's it going to go to? Bing, Bing, Bing. Let's go to the assembling media in Edmonton. A lot of the big shots flying out. getting to go to the cultural capital. Oh, look at these chain restaurants.

Okay, so there's Kyle Bukascus on the right. Bob Stoffer, Elliot Friedman at the back, David Amber. What the fuck? He gets on Barberter. Look at this schmuck. It's Fire Marshal Bill, hanging out with Elliot Friedman. That's just a bad picture or what? Was he wearing a hat?

Boom. He should buy one. That would be my advice. Friedman hates you. Zoom, zoom. I don't think Friedman hates me. Why do you hate Friedman? I don't hate Freeman.

What the hell's going on? What are these things? Like the other ones. That's not look at oil. Where they put all the drinks on the table. He's going to be mad at you. He's going to see this. He's going to see that.

I'm loving him up. His fiancee loves the show. She's going to be like, hey, it was so great. You were on Barnburn or on that. That's right. They were talking about you again today on the show. and Ryan's Walker's fiance.

Just real quick here. Just tell him he's on the show. Don't give him any context. He'll figure it out on his own. Do we have any close-ups of anyone else? Any David Amber? No one else was on the show yesterday, Dean. Tommy Whelden was not in the table.

New deals out there. Contracts being signed. Good thing this made the Finder report. I just laughed. And you did too, even though you're being cheap or she'd be. I just don't know why we just left. We need more windy, clearly. More Bort license plates to the gift shop.

Sugar has resigned and been agreed to terms. Agreed to terms. Congratulations. Okay, I guess, yeah. It's a Bort. Sugar. Do we have that or no? No.

Yeah. I would have the cut. Shut up. Brock Lobster got paid today. The Colorado Avalanche extending the second line center on a three or $7.5 million deal. Jesus. It feels like it, right?

I see what he's. He's probably comparing to God. I'm like, Charming to kill you. But again, if you're telling me, Miko's too expensive and just going to throw

seven and a half round like that. You just got your asses kicked. Yeah, with him. Yeah. So he didn't get your asses kicked, which you lost. You were in control.

And they didn't have their best player. You're up to nothing in the third period. You in game seven. I'm correct. I think they should trade McKinna into Pittsburgh. Oh, Jack's all in on that. he's been working back channel on that for ages.

Natchez. Yeah, what's the name of that new coach you got, Jack? Dan the man. Dan the man. He's just, come on in. McKinnon. Dan the man. Dan, Dan, Dan, he's our boys.

If he can't do it, no one. Dan the muse. Will. We're going to help a flame. Brett's buddy needs a little help here. Let's take a look. McKenzie Weeger's got a new car. Oh, I think we had a name

with the Rettster. What do you think, Dean? The Rettmobile. 44. I think you're overblowing. I don't think there's a feud. I think there's, I think they're kindred spirits. That's what I'm trying to build bridges here.

You don't need to. There's irrelevance in both camps. That's a nice car. That's all I'm saying. But so, and I don't care. This is what Noodles is talking about. Right?

You want to be private. Yeah. And it's not about Weger or who's doing it. If you're using social media and you are being out there and you are on it. Well, then you have to. Now we know what you drive. Yeah. So when that car screws out.

I'm not bringing that to Calgary in the winter. That's getting cozyed up nice in some barn in Ontario. I break that out in the summer. But yeah. And I don't care. I'm just, this is what Noodles was referring to. Is that a candy apple red?

That looks good. Well, that'd be about a 69. I don't know anything about cars. It's nice. Congrats, Wigs. Yeah, good. Nice whip. Flames red.

Don't mind that. Boy, we've seen some bad teams in pro sport. The Colorado Rockies, they had nine wins two days ago and they played 59 games in the majors. Let's go to a rampacked Marlins Stadium. Uh-oh. Up three, two. He outs and the nine.

They win. at the wall. Oh, I like that. Oh, no. Uh-oh. Now, there's a lot going on here. That, my friends, is back-to-back wins for the first time since August of last year. What was just August of last year?

Yeah. And it is a three-game series. They have won the season. series. Nice. Incredible. And suck it, Scotty Sheffler.

You haven't won a golf tournament since Monday. Huge crowd on hand for this one. 137 people. I'm not lying. No way. An MLB record. Now, the Montreal Expo used to own this record book for lowest attendance.

That stadium's like, what, four years old, five? I find this hard to believe. Yeah, this is really new. Yuck.

too bad they didn't get to see the history being made back-to-back wins the panthers are i was going to say that said it's june it's hot it's indoors and it's air conditions it is not hot it's the rockies you escape the heat by going to this game goodness 9-9-9s yeah seriously more hot dogs and people in that thing yeah more people like greta close yeah it's good an update on Paul Skeens, Jack's boy. How about Paul Skeen's significant other? He's winning life. Look at this. Striking people out,

hardly allowing runs. Lovely talented. Bullshit stuff. And then he like, you want to create some interest? Eight innings. Look at he's absolutely nasty. You know what he's doing? He's tipping buckets. He shows the Uighur card to take a run at you.

He's showing Paul Skeens to take a run at Jack. Yes, Ryan Pinder. Just get people up today on the news that matters. You know, Pinder report. Just so Paul Skeen's numbers that continue. No, he looks great. He was unhittable practically, guys. He only allowed three hits.

Stuck with the loss, though. Oh, dear. Second time this year, he's gone eight plus with one or fewer runs allowed. Three or fewer hits and eight plus strikeouts. Oh. Disparages others for maybe crafting numbers to suit a narrative And look at this Pinder. In the last 124 years, it's only happened twice.

Hey, what should we name Wigs or Wigs his car, Red? Hey, 44? Hey, retro war warancies? Sherry Red, lovely. Yeah, it's been over 100 years since we've seen anything like this. Yeah, geez. That's, Jack, you're not old enough to remember this, but Dutch Leonard back in 1314. You know what?

You could give him a head butt. He is just. We got more too. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, because now schemes is like the meme because those are that stupid is pirates yellow. So I don't get this here. Dean should be happy.

It's going to be a great Yankee. He will be a great Yankee. That's like being something fancy and high end when everything around you is. This was like Mika. When you arrived to Giacar. So Rett's the house trailer? I'm teasing. Now you can head bottom.

I grew up in this. You grew up in that Ferrari? It's nails. Woo. Sorry, Jack, about all the Pittsburgh sports stuff. Yesterday, they're tight-in. They were no idea if they won or like. Oh, they lost.

Yeah, you weren't listening because we- They lost three-nosed despite. I heard that, man. They lost. Steelers, how about how's that new tight end? Donald Parnham. ACL torn. Yesterday, I practiced.

They can't have nice things. At least he got Dan the mask. Them so, that'll be. man back in no time. Dan the matter day today, Jack. Better day. We're bringing in Babe Davis. Are you? Yeah, apparently.

Gabe, babe, babe. Babe, babe. You did nothing in Jacksonville. This is the last year of the Ralph, too, by the way, you guys. Oh, you got to get there. I've been there. I mean, this year for the last year,

that's a big thing. I wouldn't want to go if you guys aren't coming. Right. That's the only way you have gone ever. Literally never gone. Yes. We've gone down the street for dumplings, let alone to Buffalo. I'm not sure about the, I'm going to try it.

I want traditional. It'll be closed in 15 minutes. There's fencing or paving or whatever now. Yeah, yeah. A lot of whatever out there for sure. Go ahead, Ryan. You ever had to pee and you just do a half-ass job to get out of there? Maybe you got a dinner rezzo.

It's like, we got to move. Like, we're just pulling shoot on this. That's what this umpire apparently did yesterday. Las Diaz, this is one of the, Worst calls you'll ever see. Oh, a call strike and Meg. A challenge? Nope.

AAA, you could figure that out. Strict, oh boy. Yeah, he's got to go to the washroom. He's got a, it's got a tinkle, I think. Yeah. Big weekend in Calgary as Calgary Stampeders will open their CFL regular season against Stink and Bowley by our pal. And the, and look at this.

What's this? Buffalo Bill Great. Stamps great. Lions great. Argo's great. Chargers. Oh man, that's great. Pretty good. Doug Flutie says, can't wait to be back in Calgary. Good times. He's gunned for Dickinson's shop?

Is he starting under center? What? Jeez, Dave, look over your shoulder, bud. See, that's about Dave. Just unrest. Now, here's the thing. What's the deal with this? He's not the only stampeter that might be in the neighborhood.

Look with the stamp. announced this morning. Marcus Crandall. Nick Lewis, Jermaine Copeland, John Corny's, Alex Singleton. John,

pull your hamstring, Cornish. Jermaine Copeland, Nick Lewis, beauties. Marcus Crandall. Mark McLaughlin played for a hundred years. I was looking at René's numbers,

because René turns 40, I think, like a month or a few weeks ago, we said happy birthday. He still needs like four years of prolific catch, of kicking to, like, catch Mark McGloffin.

It's insane. And the family, of Norma Kwan, who is a pioneer and a legend in the sport. 80 year birthday party coming up Saturday for the home opener against the tightcats. That is, that's a hell of a list. I mean, it sounds disrespect. It's like no disrespect to Marcus Crandall or, I mean, Nick Lewis, John Cornish,

like you're talking about all-time record holders. Greatest Canadian in the league maybe ever in Cornish. You're talking about one of the greatest quarterbacks ever in Flutty, greatest kicker potentially ever in McLaughlin, and then just absolute legends at wide receiver in Co-Polns. and Lewis. 80th. And a most outstanding player, our best defense player of the year and Alex Singleton, who's playing with the Broncos.

Sure he is. He back. June 7. Woo! All right. Weather looks unreal, by the way. Where did the stamps play 80 years ago? Probably.

I don't know. Probably right there. MacMan. 80 years ago would be the, what was you constructed? It's a good question. I don't have the answers. Well, I mean, but truly, like 80 years is...

That's a long time. They opened another field before they moved into McMahon? It's a good question. All right. Let's get some dumb stuff. Let's start with Gritty, our pal. We're starting with the dump after the skeins. Gritty's last.

Gritty's last. Okay. So, uh-oh, let's get. I want you guys to guess. We're going to slow-mow this. We're worn a whiteboard. Can we warn our whiteboard this? Are you okay to handle this for us?

Well, I don't know what the is. Well, that's that we're going to break it down. We're going to slow. Here we go. Red's whiteboard. How am I going to break it down? I don't know what it is. Watch it.

And then we're going to say, back that up. Whoa, Jay, whoa, freeze it right there, Jack. Everything looks normal right now. Some sort of base. Okay, stop it right there, Jack. They're going to make to play it first, and that guy's not getting laid for a few months. This is stupid.

That is. How dumb could you be? What are you doing? You're the idiot. These people are the idiot. No, you're the idiot. Oh, we're both idiots. You just played it.

We had to show how this is the Pinderport where they get to the idiot portion. We show idiots. Do you want me to break that down? We're good. Don't bring me into your bullshit report. 80 years, Jack. It's a long time. That is a long time.

Who are those people? Are they somebody that were supposed to know or is this just? Doug Flutie? That was a all-time San Peter. Marcus Crandall. Great cube. Marcus Crandall came in. Quarterback.

Norma Quong. Pioneer. I remember the quongs. Jermaine Copeland backed up Peyton Manning at Tennessee. Really? That's a great story. Peyton. He's backing up Peyton.

Peyton's a stud. He's got to be going to the NFL. He's kidding me. Comes back. I'm very happy to announce. I'm coming back for another season. Yeah. He's like,

fuck. Colvin's like, finally. Peyton's going to get out of here. I'm going to be the starter. Tennessee. Huge. Orange. I'm coming back for another.

Damn it. I was about you, Peyton, huh? I was about you. Summer beers are different than winter beers. I think we all understand that. Weather's different. Brown liquor. Maybe a lighter beer.

No, you might remember this moustachioed fellow. Jack, you recognize him from a segment we ran in the Penderport months ago. What was that about? The dry January, where he would take days from later months. It was borrowing. Okay. Borrowing days. Yeah.

Same guy. Yeah. So anyway, he's got some life hacks for us. Here's how we figure out how the summer beers work. In the warmer months, societal norms surrounding drinking are different. You know this. You know that thing where when it's nice out, drinks shouldn't really count as much? Same.

Amidst my work discovering the drinking in the winter formula, I came across an opposite yet equally important formula that has escaped the world's greatest minds for centuries. My team of me spent countless hours confirming this proof and I'm happy to announce it's finally ready to publish. My God. A new way to think about drinking. when it's nice out. At long last, the drinking in the summer formula. You take the absolute value of

81, the optimal drinking outside temperature, minus the current temperature, we multiply that by pie and divide all that by 81. Hopefully that time the number of the drinks you currently have, you got your new adjusted summer drink total. Say it's 70 degrees, 81 minus 70 of 11 times high is 34.5. By 81 is 0.42. Say it's at 6 beers. But 6 times. 4 is actually 2.5. So when it's nice out, I've only had 2 and a half beer. Two and a half beers during a work lunch is nothing. selfiest shut up what if it's 81 degrees 81 minus 81 at zero times by zero times the number of jins they're currently high to zero drinks don't tell i won't just the prep so this is what we've been waiting for summer beers our back boys and red ret doesn't like it

let's do the math see but how many beers this is going to count us it's full screen on rep please again when you have to explain the joke and everyone's falling asleep it's probably there was math i was just worried i'm good it took great 10 ounce three times. Really good. Nailed it. It's close out. With Gritty. Another fellow that decided

to wear orange today. Gritty. He doesn't have as many choices as red. Frozen camera. He's selling bathwater, Dean. Apparently is the thing now. It's the buying event, village Honda. Village Honda. Car and Driver magazine has ranked the Honda Accord number one

in the mid-sized sedan segment. And the thing is on the 2025, even more new features and improvements from the one that was already ranked number one. They don't sit still. They don't, they don't rest on their laurels. It's like the Panthers getting Seth Jones and Bradmorechance. Exactly what it is.

It's been proven on the best already. They do. Village Honda, Northwest Automall. A message from the Alberta Teachers Association. Alberta spends the least per student on public education in Canada, leaving schools underfunded and in crisis, overcrowded classrooms, unmet student needs, dwindling supports are driving record numbers of teachers to leave the professions. Now, as Albertans, we cannot ignore this neglect.

Our children deserve better. It's time to act, advocate for increased funding and demand answers from your MLA. Why does Alberta invest the least in its students? The excuses must stop, stand up for our schools, support our educators, and help ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed. The future of education in Alberta depends on it. For more information, visit the website, stoptheexcuses.ca. I was stunned to hear, I mean, the least. Certainly not the most. We're a well-to-do province out here. We should be doing more, we should be doing better than that. stop the excuses.ca to find out more on that. How do we feel about making picks?

Do we want to, do you want to just kind of sit back and enjoy and just watch the series without having any kind of rooting interest? Just the un... I don't really have any strong feelings, but I have these clubs particularly. You're an admirer of the sport.

He's an admirer of the sport. Yeah, I just, two good teams. I just want championship quality. I hope for good entertainment. Almost puked saying that, by the way. It's probably the way to do it. Just let this thing play out. Unless you guys had a thought.

I'm wearing orange, so read it. Right. Don't read into it. So read into it or don't. You're free to do whatever you want to do. It's to our bets. Want to get into the action for the Stanley Cup playoffs at Bet 365. They got you.

Whatever your bet is, it's never ordinary at Bet 365, download the app, get in on the game, official partner of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Must be 19 or

order. Game one tonight. Which means football. Cut lots. I don't want to touch tonight's game. I don't blame you. But you can bet on the most goals scored in the series. The Andrash title is the favorite

at plus 280. He should be the favorite. He's the highest scoring guy. 50 every year, right? Playoffs even better. Big goals you think Leon. He scored many goals, trying to get his team back into games

that his schooltender has given away. The stamps for an action this weekend. There's the line. It's swung was two points. Hamilton favored yesterday, now one and a half. They heard Flutu is coming. It's a half point at least for the home team. We're going to take Calgary plus the points,

minus 115 there. the flutie bump correct yeah yeah it's weird because we always talked about you got it back the season up you got to back the CFL season up it's like oh my cow we're starting already it's time it's nice out it was any earlier than this you'd be like maybe it's too early no may long think so you do have to wait till the NFL drafts done that's the big caveat what's starting earlier than that's i know they've talked about moving it way up You can't do the CFL draft to the NFL draft. So you can't have the season without a draft? You definitely want to have guys knowing whether their NFL property or not before you, they're not going to come if they're, they don't know.

Anyway, the nerds talk about this all the time. I was going to say, I don't know. This is what the Benders of the world will tell me. You cannot back it up too much because the draft is. Stop questioning John Bender, Dean. I wouldn't do it.

He's just feeling better after the 9-9-9-9-9. Finally getting over his sodium headaches. Glad to hear it. Glad to hear it. We'll be here tomorrow. Maybe. To react. Maybe.

Yeah, there's a lot of talk. There's a lot of talk about not being here for shows going on right now. It just feels like there's a lot of unused vacation around the table. We should really lean into that for a bit here. I know I have something in the morning. So I'll be here. I'll be here for the show tomorrow. I'm not sure about, uh, it's the boomer in Jack show.

Yeah. Me and you, buddy. Let's do it. I can't wait to hear of Jack's deep dive into the new Pittsburgh. He sucks. He is junk. That guy's, they would Dan the man's bringing to the table.

There was a development today, though. Yesterday, uh, Steelers. All in. Yeah, they're all in. You are? This was the report. That's what Shepter said. Oh, they're all in going all in.

On what? I don't know. All in as in. What do you mean all in? All in is. They're going to Super Bowl. Yeah, they're going all in. Well, they're not good enough.

Can remind us to that quarterback? Mason Rudolph. Right. And the fans hate him already. Already. He was standing beside Trump talking at some thing. Yeah, they were pissed off because they did the thing. Yeah.

I would think the Trump supporters would be happy about that. But the ones that aren't, wouldn't? There's a lot of Trumpers in Pittsburgh because I've seen the science. So renewed hope then, Jack, because they said they're going all in. Dude, they're chasing John Huss Smith. buckle up. Steelers fans. Good stuff.

John O'Smith. Everyone say a little something. Sacrifice something. Do what you got to do. Wear orange. See you, buddies.
