And the show begins. How are we doing, everybody? Welcome to the, well, to the, the, the barn burner. And what a barn burner it'll be today on a, on an Edmonton, oil and game day, which I've come to kind of look forward to. It's, it's, it's one of those things. You need someone with the black hat. We talk about it all the time. You need the villain in your life. You need the villain in your life. Okay. Well, that's fine, but do we have to, like, actively promote them? Not promoting them? We're leading off the show with a Oilers game day. Yeah, it's a little aggressive. I'll take it back. Welcome to another podcast edition here on Flames Nation. And a couple games coming up tonight. And I'm looking at it's the the Canucks are playing tonight.

Canucks came day, Dean. Put your helmet on. I found myself, yeah, I found myself really looking forward to these Canucks games. How's that? Is that a little better? That's bad. You know, it's just good to see these former flames kicking it into gear. Lindholm and Zadora finally.

That's right. Oh, happy for them. Can I, another question. A lot of these podcasts that I listen to. They all say podcast number 642. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like, what are, should we, do we need to include that? Jack, what number is this?

What podcast number? I believe it's 390 something. I don't, I don't see the point, right? 390 something. yeah three nine he's making this shit up he's making the shit up yeah jack you're making the shit up no three i'll go look you actually know this how would you know this what do you mean look look where what are you talking about he's obviously got a list you are the boss he is the boss because we started doing

this in october of 2022 right yeah we're almost uh you know we've done two full hockey seasons 20 months in something like that right two full hockey season down a little last summer According to my record, it's 374. This is episode 374. Seems light. Does it? Yeah. Feels like enough, doesn't it?

Although, on the other hand, then we're done, because I feel like if I went back through this thing that I have in my position. We've had the quota for sure. Yeah. Jacko, did you add afterburners in there? Because, you know, that's a different show. 82 there. I'll go with you there.

Yeah, we're closing on non-500. different things. But I mean, we can keep, you know what, you know what those numbers are for? Is for the people that have never done it. Yes. And they're impressive. Look how many shows I've done.

We do it every day. This is nothing new to us. I still get people texting me. You want to go for lunch? Yeah. At 2.30? And move your hobby and we'll just do lunch. No, this is an actual job.

I don't want to. say anything untoward, but my mother-in-law, as I mentioned, she is visiting. And my wife has always said, don't say anything on the podcast about anything, about anything. Oh, good, good. Just should have to know. But everybody, shh. It's just us, Dean. But, so just between us, girls. Uh, yesterday. So, you know, I turned, I saw your thing yesterday. Or I saw your thing today. Because it was yesterday. I saw you at the thing. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It was, uh, it was good. Uh, you're wearing sunglasses. What's, uh, what's that? Oh, geez. Even the mother-in-law. It's like I've only hearing since October of 2022, but I've tuned in.

I don't generally defend you, Dean. That's the one spot where I'm like, stop it, people. Oh, I don't care. I don't care. Stop it. It's the thing now. Now it's just the thing. It's, you know what?

I think Dean was getting into the fact that old mumsy there had seen one yet. So a new development, these sunglasses. is no, not new. I do get that. I'm also not thinking there's a lot of Ethels and, you know. No, this is not. Not related in our demographic. Not related.

Yeah. Roundabout. But it's all good. It's okay. Because we have so many people. What? Is she in a Lhazi Sheila? On the reg?

What, who? No, I don't think she pays as much attention. I just got a big shit going on. none of this nonsense. Yeah, the person on the street from us wouldn't have a clue. Thank God. Please don't. Although.

Chavlarina? I don't know if you have any in the Pinder report, if there's anything about me today. Let's see. Well, you're at that party where everyone went nuts with the bowling balls. Yeah, that's weird. Yeah. Anything about my accomplishments?

I got a raccoon. No, no. We had a raccoon in the back. We got rid of that. Okay. What about the gerbil? Did you get rid of that yet? Or is it still?

No, but Sharkey, the fish. That's the day. I feel like you're trying to, you're trying to lead us towards something. Is there? Come on, you. Braggie. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know what happened. I mean, 25 years ago is a long time ago. Anything could have happened. 25. Because we're 20 from the flames. So was this a Buffalo final? that would have.

25 years ago, that'd be nice. Ophalo's on a run. What round, we're round three, Rhett at that point? No, they're just kids.

Just kids. Pantaros? No. That's being beyond that. I'm trying to think. It's 25 years. Did you get married? What are you talking about?

Before you got to, no. I'm trying to be delicate about it. But I feel like we've established the whole Ret didn't win a lot. I thought that's kind of so. I did a lot of contributing.

I did a lot of contributing. Oh, is it like a, like a, well, no, you're in Buffalo. That's what I'm saying.

The math is simple. We had a lot of success. We were close to having a lot of success in Buffalo too. Right. Was it a humanitarian award of some sort of season? Off ice. No. Okay.

I may have New York Chatan scored 40 that year May have single-handedly defeated the Boston Bruins In a team sport Rett single-handedly defeated the Bruins We were down We were down and I just

I didn't like how it was going So I stepped up Took over Took over Hmm Hate to have to It's final Brag about it

But it's a big goal. Yeah, the Brett Hall triple overtime winner that won the cup that handed a red a loss isn't happened yet 25 years ago. Well, listen, okay. I mean, this could have been something maybe we set up before the show so that we're not scrambling. No, this is going on. Buffalo shut out Boston, 3-0, May 14th of 1999. Is this the you fixed two Barnes?

No, yes, the day before, it was yesterday. Alexei Jitnik opens the scoring in the second period Vaclav Verata makes it 2-0-0-and-and, makes it 3-0-0 short-handed. But you're looking at the 14th. I'm talking about the day before. Yeah, 25 years and one day ago, Dean.

Come on. I thought you kind of... Maybe even two days ago, but... Oh, yeah, yeah. In the general vicinity. It's really foggy. this really fell flat I thought for sure you'd be celebrating

my accomplishments with me because you're big supporters of Mike May 12th that's probably the one three two victory oh what's that a victory oh uh huh uh ret warner's first of the playoffs from ward and sanderson ties the game at two dixon ward and wins it what's i scored third period goal wrist shot at 644

he played against dancing Carter, Ace. Better than the Siddines, just to ask him. Look at that shot. How much shock is there? Look at Lindy. Pump, like he looked like Barobi. Oh, they got the old smoke snow going on from the goat head.

Oh, my goodness. This day, about 25, anything today on the PIN report today? It's 25 years and two days ago or one day ago, but maybe three days ago. First goal of the playoffs. Hey, you know. Go Sabers. ruin da Bruins. Ruined da Bruins.

Look at how I snuck in there. Oh, what a read. That's a shot. Oh, my. Byron. That's a muffin followed by one in Byron. So you're saying the Bruins didn't win

with that net minding at the triple fist pump retro? Wow, yeah, buddy. Look at this guy. Whoa. Double fist pump. Is that Robert jumping up there? Oh, but the coach was pumped.

Look at this clean-shaven Warner. Holy. Look at that's blade I had to use. Try scoring with that thing. That's the dry sidel curve, isn't it? That's actually a kayak battle. Is that the Ryan Smith? The Ryan Smith curve.

Well, how about that? How about that? No frosted tips yet, Rhett? It's pretty big. Oh, no frosted tips yet. No, no. No. Hair was getting longer, but not long enough.

Because you got to Calgary. Oh, you had some showtime hair. That was five years later. three years later, I guess. Really found myself. Yeah, you did. So that was May 12th is what we're, yeah, it was 25 years and two days ago, Dean.

Obviously, that's what we celebrate. I gave you enough frickin' time to find it. It'll be like, well, we were frankly looking at the game 25 years ago today. Yeah, on this date. Yeah. What happened on today's date? Red Warner holding a holding penalty, 11 seconds into the second.

And then about eight minutes later, Ret Warner interference against Landon Wilson. Watt. And then in the third, Rhett Warner hooking on Dimitri Christich. Really? Yeah. In a 3-0-0-0-low win. Had the penalty kill?

Yeah. He lost the next one. It was 3-0. Oh. Again, Byron Defoe. Wow, Byron DeFoe. There's a pull. Well, yeah, he was. Jeez.

Buck Ducco. Yeah, real good. John Blue is a. the backup? What are we doing here? Losing. And another thing that was odd, Dominic Hachick with a shutout victory. Now, he was due.

How did he get those? Yeah, with you in the box. Yeah, you put them on the penalty kill and watch them work. You get them loose. You warm them up. That's how you do. Whatever you can to get, Warner off the ice and it could be great. I didn't, sorry to miss that

obviously significant date. Just a days ago in in Rhett Warner life history. If you guys had scored in the playoffs against Boston, I would have made sure to bring it up. You're right. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah.

You're that thorough. You'd have the date. Yeah, you'd have it nailed down if it was us. Gwen Rolson. Wins 5-3. 24 of 24. And then the Sabers. Never played that game.

What are you talking? Hasick, sorry. Rollsson's back on. Did I say, Ryan. Jesus Christ. I looked at Hasso. Oh my God. And then so Buffalo wins that series in six.

Yeah, we lost game one in game five in Beantown. Yeah. And then it's off. And almost got arrested before game two. Tell us that story. Now we're talking. Almost. You lose game one.

You got to go have a few pops. The cops drove us home after grabbing a hot dog and pissing on someone's boots. And we were going to get beat up. That old thing. Yeah. The cops kind of stepped in and saved us. drove us. And I believe if we hadn't been the opposing team, they probably would have just taken us down to the precinct. Yeah. The old hot dog and urine trick. Yeah. Always gets you in trouble.

We got to skip the line. Yeah. Always gets you in trouble. Speaking of which, I can't believe I forgot till the, I mean, I'm getting I guess things. It was about a month ago or whatever. Maybe when I was away to WrestleMania. My son and I, we flew to Philadelphia. So we are sitting in the Philly airport waiting, or I guess I'm sorry, Newark, because we went out of, flew out of Newark. So we're in New Jersey waiting to come home. And it's obviously, it's the Calgary flight. So it's not crazy that you'd see someone or there'd be some sort of an interaction.

But I'm sitting there and the Calgary people, the Calgary flight is deplaning. And I see a guy kind of walked by and he kind of does a double take or. whatever and then he comes over and it's hey how you doing you know just want to say I love love the podcast you know listen all the time and when you're on the radio used to listen to the show thanks thanks thanks also you should ask red if back in 04 he ever now I'm trying to remember the details because it was it was a month ago was arrested or was put in a cop car or something during the 04 run Look at Red's face. Something in 2004 to do with a police officer.

It was not during the playoff run. No. Perhaps. Okay. Again, sorry, I'm getting the dates wrong. This is on me. You should know this, Dean. It's the 20th anniversary and 13 days.

Yeah. And in that respect, it's not so much about the date. It's about the event. Details or... We have told this story, actually. Okay. One of the, in the old, old studio. Yeah, wow.

Noodles came on when he was telling, he wrote his book or something. I never read the book, but, and he was telling stories, he was telling the story, but he was keeping guys names out of it. Anonymous, yeah. It was a dumbass Montador, right, piss canned. And we get it, we hop in this taxi with some other people, uninvited. People. but we were, you know, playing the odds.

So we hop into this cab, uninvited, and it was ill-received, maybe not so much by the patrons, but by the driver of said taxi, not get that. So then we decide to berate this poor fellow and let him know what we think of them. So now the cab is going nowhere,

and he's hopped out, and he's going to accost us. And so I'm feeling the need to talk him down off of it. And so anyway, cooler heads prevail. And then we're grabbing, again, getting another hot dog outside of the old cowboys. It's damn street meat getting me in trouble. So good. And Dum Dum starts telling the story about how he, oh, hey, hey.

I stole his keys. Oh. He was sitting in the front. front and he reached when the guy got out of the cab to yard me out of there he reaches over turns the cab off steals the keys and throws him in the sewer i remember this down the great rings a bell now yeah rings a bell yeah yeah it's a bit of work to get those back and you know when you've been drinking yeah those whispers yeah it's a little louder than yeah and the uh gallery police service members they had picked up on being the cracker jacks that they are detectives that they are

they picked up on the volume and came over to discuss it with my little buddy and we he tried playing dumb and i tried to protect him and uh you should have been good at that eh yeah uh how about you come sit here fella so should i shut up yeah you should maybe just well it was one of those cracker jacks that i ran into in the newark airport yeah i was it yeah he was one of the cracker jacks yeah you have to ask right about the back and the oh were you on the i apologize to that fellow profusely days later yeah were you on the uh police force then i was yeah hey you know what it's just good police work like you say because you were whispered how was anyone really going to slueth that out that you guys had been up to something no good?

I don't know where they would have thought. Where are these keys gone? There was these drunks that jumped in a cab unvited. Where have these keys gone? I wonder. It's all good. I got his keys. I threw them in the drain.

So we're good. Poor bastards. Trying to make his hundred bucks so he can go home and feed his kids, you assholes. Yeah. So there you go. Look at Memory Lane today. I didn't know that's where we were going to start.

So there's another one here in the comments. Rhett, someone suggesting you took some heat for wearing a t-shirt that had a porn star on it on a, walking into the dome one day. Does that ring a bell? Why would I take heat over that? I was getting high-dye. So you didn't take heat, but you did do it. Okay.

We'll move along. Do you remember who the starlight was? What was his name, the porn star? Rocco. Seymour Buts? What do you got there? So. See, the game used to be fun.

It used to be fun. It used to be fun. Yeah. This is all playoffs. Yeah. These sorts of things aren't happening. Why were the bare facts tied to every playoff game versus Ottawa when I was in Buffalo? Did anyone clue in?

Did the media clue in? Well, yes. And they laughed with me. The bear facts. Yeah. Oh, gosh. No, you're, uh, huh? So there's a t-shirt or time? You're probably right. I don't know that today's younger players are, uh, are doing that sort of stuff. Pre-game at Fairfax, no? No. Pre-game. Wow. That's aggressive.

Yeah, that's slap shot type stuff for sure. Morning skate. Strip club. Four wins. Zero losses. Yeah. There you go. There you go. Well, thanks for that, Red. Can I bring up another sad bit of news? Please. Oh, sad. Geez. You may. There is a,

I don't even know how to bring it up. Red Lobster. I heard there's trouble. Done. Is it done? Caput. Lobster Rouge. It's been a good run.

Dun dittly done for. And you know, it's funny, you mentioned, I mentioned my mother-in-law, I believe it was the last time that she was here. She took some members of the, family. They had an unbelievable experience. Really? Just delicious.

Yeah. Well, damn it. We had a lobsters. What happened? Yeah. Extinct. People here were very upset. People showed up to work. Signed on the door. Closed. Oh, no. Dang.

And I was just going to go today, too. I was like, you know what I need to do? Get one of those bowls of butter. But they like that, was it the cheesy biscuits they love the biscuits yeah Robert ray just over here will door dash himself just red lobster biscuits that sounds like some robert too yeah oh my goodness the show's incredibly dumb yeah so it's not all business in the nchal these days i mean look at valenachuskin that's right oh yeah i'm wrong maybe it is a big party too soon sorry well i was going to

it up, but I wasn't sure. It felt like even on the internet, it might be too. Not idea. There's a place for him. You can go sign an S.K. St. Petersburg and or he can... Perfect work-life balance that he's looking for. Or get his life in order. He's got options.

It would seem like he can play at this level. There's no question. The question is whether he's an ox at this level. It's that this is essentially third time and now they have to come down with the hammer. The player system program is incredibly lenient in the sense that like, hey, you're having issues. Come, let us help you.

Oh, it's a relapse. Come let us help you. And it's the third strike that you actually lose salary and get a six-month suspension. This is, he's well down the line of we'd like to help you, sir. So it does beg the question, what would he like to do? Not deal with player assistance programs and play in the K or come back in six months and apply for reinstatement. Nine goals and eight games. That's a good number.

number. Yeah. And like a legit, excellent, excellent player that, they're cooked now. They're just, never mind the result yesterday.

That obviously puts them a hole, but you hear the interviews from the avalanche players yesterday. I am not surprised they came out looking flat. They looked stunned. Yep. Whatever descriptor you want to use, shell-shocked,

rattled, like they were. It was a 5-1 final for the Dallas stars over Colorado. Dallas looked really good. And yes, the abs just looked like they listless. Yeah. Well, not only that, it's okay. Devon Taves is going to miss.

Ah, shoot, that's our second best defenseman. And then it's like, okay, well, we're going to. It works completely. Yeah. We get your end back. That'll be good. And then after morning skate. Yeah.

They find out that, oh, you know this guy that's leading you in goals this postseason? He's evaporated for six months, gone from the team, get his name off of his stall, and let's pretend this isn't happening. And Taves took Morning Skate too. So it was in the course of what, two, three hours prior to puck drop. Oh, Taves is sick. He can't go. Oh, and Nachushkin is gone potentially forever. Wait, wait, wait.

Okay. what we were talking about yesterday was a goaltender where it was like Skinner. I was like, well, maybe it's not Skinner and maybe it's other stuff that's the issue. Right. And it's like, no, Skinner needs to make a save. That's what good teams do.

Yeah. Are you telling me that without Dave's and Natchewski, these guys can't compete with Dallas? No. I am saying that. Oh, I disagree completely. Really? Without their second best defenseman and their third best forward? Well, it's certainly hard, but how

the fuck do we go to the finals without anyone? Like, you can overcome things. If that's the case, Ryan, then we should just do, okay, skill level on the team, don't play the games. No, no, I just think this is such a close series

and you don't have an edge in net at all. Ottinger's much better than Georgie 5. Those are two of your most important five pieces. So if you take away I think we're probably all in agreement. It's just, Rets said, can you compete?

And you said, no, they can. Oh, yeah. No, you can try hard for sure. I think the moment that news came down, it's like the series is, I just, see, I don't buy it, Ryan. Good teams find a way to rally about stuff. You made, maybe you don't win that game, but they packed it in. That's not the, that's not the sign of a team that's like, I watched the play against

Winnipeg and I was like, these guys will not be denied. Yeah. They're everywhere. They're all over there. They're unbelievable. And I, I watched last night and I go, this is not. the same team. Yeah.

And they played a stretch without Natushkin this year because he was injured. And they were not terrible. I'm not taking away from Nichushkin at all, but they still have McKinnon,

Rantan, McCar. Most teams are in the rest of the world would, okay. Yeah. No, I don't like them to win the series,

for sure. Yeah. Like just the kind of cut through the middle. For sure. It's actually a bit embarrassing how they didn't compete. Yeah,

that's a devastating loss for them, but they certainly didn't get over it by puck drop. and part of it too and you talked about some of the comments and I think it was Jack Johnson who basically said about Valanachushkin

he made some decisions he made his decisions he may yeah he made his decision that's all I'm going to say is he made his decisions which so you'd be upset that you don't have taves you'd probably be you get a sense there's bitter and anger this isn't

do you know what I mean Say that again? The guys know in the room what the F is going on. Well, and that's what that comment tells you is that... I know, so, but... They've been let down by their teammate here. They've been let down, but they know he's acting that way, and they know that there's trouble.

Like, I just feel like you, they, how could you that be so debilitating to your ability to want to win a Stanley Cup still? Yeah, I still want to win for sure. Like, I think they're probably better in the next game, but, um, I think they still. want to win the cup red. I think they were not over the news at puck drop and how much of that's on them. You would know more than I do.

I think it's, I think it's hugely on it. I don't think they're trying. I just think they're completely, they're a massive underdown. When we talk about Colorado being successful during the regular season, it wasn't pinned to Taves and the Chuskin. Now, again, I'm with you. You take your

leading goal scorer and your number two defensemen out of the lineup. This is serious low. And with them in the lineup, you were you were down in this series. It's taking Hyman. They didn't turn into a top 10 lottery pick team. No one's saying that.

Yeah. It's Hyman and Ekholm off the Oilers. Like you're just, it's two of your five most important pieces. It's a huge blow. That's how I would compare it. Yeah, I think. Third best forward, second best defense.

It was just odd to see how out of sorts they were. Yeah. And I think Dallas has quietly since fallen in that O2 hole to, Vegas been just immensely difficult Maybe proving what they are For sure there is that But I was just I was very disliked

Honestly my opinion is that They gave up And it didn't have to be that way You can overcome adversity And whether you win or lose I'm not even basing it on that They didn't play They didn't fucking show up right

Like They weren't in that game when they have two shots in the first? Like, oh, they had, they finished to a game when it was out of hand. But when it mattered and when it was swinging in the balance, they got absolutely destroyed. At three nothing shots were 24 to 8. Yeah.

They were just getting blown out of the building. And with one of the best players in the world, a Bobby Orr type of defenseman, a centerman that's an absolute beast when he wants to be. And as an a lineup that's even with those two guys gone, Taves and Nachushkin, still capable of that. least competing.

Yeah. No, that's a fair point. They should have worked harder. Yeah. It becomes a really difficult matchup. If it's a team like Edmonton that isn't that deep, okay.

But like for the 35 minutes that McKinnon isn't on the ice and the 25 minutes you're losing from Taves and oh man, it's just like that Dallas is so deep. Like there isn't a superstar you need to shut down. And so it's a particularly difficult matchup when you lose two your best five because your depth just got crushed. And that'll be part of it too. If they're up three one in the series and this happens, maybe their performance is different.

But they already knew, we're in a fucking battle here. And then you lose those two guys in about a three hour period. It's like, Jesus Christ, we're done. We lost Domic, hashik. I, right, I understand. No, but you're giving an excuse for these guys. No, no, listen, listen, this maybe tells us a bit about that. makeup of that Colorado team too.

Lost to Seattle last year, similar circumstances, the Chuskin Hotel Lobby. Right? This is maybe, and again, I said it yesterday in the year that whatever it was, 2022, and they won the cup, they never trailed in a series. There was no adversity that they had to overcome. Now, that's the mark of a great team, but maybe there's, maybe there's a little something there. We talk about today's player.

Maybe it's your, your Buffalo team and you see these teams, clearly a different mental makeup. I don't know. And I get, I get why you more than because you were on that Panthers team and that Sabres team and the Flames team, all of whom were huge underdogs and overachieved and came together as a crew. Had to play through injuries. Right? Like you, you guys were as resilient as any team can be, beating Pittsburgh and beating teams over and over again that you had no business beat it.

Yeah. To then sit back and watch teams that get a little bit of a speed bump. and then fall to pieces. I get why you can't handle it. I get why that you turn your nose up with that in a big way. But I do wonder for a team, if maybe they're looking at it and thinking, Dallas is frigging deep,

we are, what was coming so easy for us is now a real challenge. And they're deep as hell. And now this, you might have played your best hockey and been down to one and thought you were in one before this, right? Like to your point, team?

Yeah. Anyway, we can move past it. Um, they're, they're, they're in one. And, and for the Dallas stars, uh, three points for Hayskin, and they do lose Rupert Hints, but he's, you know what? He's, he's been kind of quiet this, this playoff until whatever it was two games ago. He had that, uh, four point night really hadn't, which is not to say he's not a loss,

but we'll see how long he's out. But again, Wyatt Johnston. Well, you missed another guy that's hurt too. Chris Tann have left the game. That's a huge piece for Dallas. A bit of a slew foot. The game was out of hand, so we don't know whether this is protecting your player,

but watch the legs here. Full speed slew foot. Tannav didn't come back from this. That's a huge piece. Now is that, again, Tana has played through so much, and I wonder the score of the game,

the time of the game. That's the question. He didn't come back? Was that just managing the score? Is it because it's 4-1? I don't know. They're not going to tell us. We'll see.

Wyatt Johnston, 21 years old today, I believe today is his birthday. So now we can stop all this under the age of 21 stuff. But last night, again, two goals, one assist, eight shots, led the stars forwards in ice 20 minutes, 39 seconds. He's got 11 playoff goals now. Four of them are game winners. And there's a list because last night he scored short-handed and power play. And then he had a chance at the empty net, but dished it to us. Sam Steele. So anyway, scores short-handed and power play before the age of 21 to do that in a

single playoff game, Wyatt Johnston and Wayne Gretzky and no one else. Yeah. He's decent. Yeah. He's been great for them. He's been really, really good. And he was a, I mean, he was an animal last night. Yeah.

I think of that double overtime game they played in round one against Vegas. That's, that's a monster, monster goal there. And here's the thing. If Wyatt Johnson doesn't have a big night, they've got seven other guys that scored 20 on that team. This is unbelievable. This is a late first rounder that's, you know, you hoped maybe would be arriving at the NHL

in the next year or two. And he looks like this absolute big game, ice in his veins, ox. I saw, you know, whether it has anything to do with this, because I think that there is something bigger, obviously with the Jewish can tapes, can he come back, that sort of thing.

But it's the whole notion of momentum. And I think it was Mark Lazarus on the athletic. He had a story and he had talked to guys about momentum in the playoffs. Is it such a thing? And a bunch of these guys that he talked to is it's real during the course of a game. When teams get rolling, you get a power play goal, then you keep it going. Or if you're struggling, you let in a bad goal that you can get steamrollers going one way or the other. So it's real during the course of a game, almost non-existent in a series.

That's the Rangers. As soon as you think, because that's what we do. You do a frigging show every day. Oh, well, look how this is going. It's clearly going this way. And then how about a complete 90 degree left turn? And it goes the other way. That's why you're always desperate to hang on to that momentum.

And I get what they're saying that in a series there isn't. But there isn't because the next, after you lose a game or you, you need to do more to grab the momentum back, right? And even, yeah, like, you try to keep that momentum, but the desperation of the team that loses and a bounce or a bad call. I mean, because all those things sway it so much. But when you have that momentum, you can feel it. And you'll be damned if you want to. Like, it's in its games of inches that that momentum gives you the right.

When you, you're so desperate to hang on to it. You just know that if you lose that. that momentum at all. It immediately turns and comes ramming right back down your throat. It's tangible. And we've seen it this playoff. We talked about yesterday. The Nugent Hopkins post and then Vancouver comes back.

The Nashville goal post with the empty net. And then it comes back. Those are potentially big swing moments in the entire series. But it's another one of those media cliche things because you hear, I mean, you heard the Rangers talking about it. and now you're hearing Dallas talking about, the fourth win is always the hardest. I think that's, for the most,

there will be some times where teams just lay down and easily cruise to a series and get your fourth win. But it does feel like on both sides, there's desperation and there's a, please God, let's just get this thing over with so that we aren't one of these teams that people laugh at for the rest of the rest of time.

And the Rangers are kind of one of those teams because they roared out to that, seven straight wins or whatever it was to start their postseason. And look at the last time they did this was 94 and they lifted the cup and all of this and all of that. And now they've lost a couple. So what is it? Is it momentum retro? Well, two things.

What I think about this. I thought losing game four was actually a oddly a good thing for the Rangers because cruising through can be a little too easy too. I thought they would win yesterday, and I think they blew it, and they'll be mad that they got to add the travel, and now it becomes a long series. But there is something to be said, like you alluded with the,

to being able to deal with some adversity. Like, not very often. Teams do do it. You remember the L.A., the first time they won the Cup, they freaking cruise. Like, what was their longest series?

Five, six games? Like they were beating a pass over. Like they went like 16 and two or three over the course of that playoffs. it was wild. Right? But very rarely is that the case that you get a Stanley Cup in your back pocket and lose two or three games through a hole. So they got to go win.

They got to put it to bed and you certainly don't want to have a game seven. But if you win game six, there is something to be gained by overcoming that adversity. Sure. And having had to deal with. Yeah, you had to dig a little deeper. The other side is that, Jesus, you're looking at a lot of rest.

You've all of a sudden thrown away here if you're the Rangers. what was it Saturday they played game four they had four games sweep in the first round like they're still not at yeah not horrible travel but I'm with they win game six it's okay if they lose someone tonight to injury or tomorrow I should say like yeah it's gonna be like what and even if it's not injury

even if it's just oh damn it just extra bumps and bruises that sort of stuff yeah now what's interesting is the power play was feasting and we've talked about Carolina their power play continues to stink oh for three last night. They're one for 20 in this series. They had the second best power play in the regular season, went five for 15 against the Islanders in round one, and have one on 20 tries in this series. Five percent. Yuck. She's no good, boys. And on the other side, now the Rangers go O for three.

Remember, they were rolling through the first six games of that seven that they won to start. They were 10 of 25 and now have gone over in the last three games. O for eight. They are minus two at five on five in the series against Carolina. So you go back to the, the O3 deficit. And when Brindamore came out, and he's like,

you can write two stories. You can write what's, what the score, or you can write what's happening. His notion being that their lack of success on the power play and penalty kill was the difference. They still need to start scoring on the power play, but. Well, they give it a short of the other night, too.

That almost sounded. Well, they gave another last night. The troop of goal was shorthand. It's crazy. Last night, sorry. And so, yeah, they've been the better team five on five. Rangers special teams has been sensational, but even as the Rangers' power plays cooled off, I still think they were probably, uh, they're up on their penalty kill.

They've outscored the Carolina power play in the series. Well, that, yeah, the power play. Play's been atrocious. Two to one on Carolina PowerPlay. And this was, we've seen it happen a few times. We talk about the Colorado snooze job that they had last night. You go back to Edmonton and how they kind of fell asleep in game one.

Was it? I'm trying to remember whatever it was. They had like one shot in the final 26 minutes. That's what happened to the Rangers yesterday. They just, it was one nothing after 40 and they just stopped. It was just done. and four unanswered from Carolina.

And that's your ball game. Yep. And to the point you made earlier, like, where's the desperation level of the ranges when they're up on nothing versus the desperation level of the hurricanes? It's not close.

One team's playing for the lives and others. Like, hang on, we got this. Just hold the lead and we're fine. Yeah. Again, momentum in the game, clearly swung to the canes. And they use it to their advantage. Does it mean anything?

Going into game six in Carolina. who friggin knows. Yeah, we saw it in the Boston series, right? Like Toronto down 3-1, we have the funeral, and then they force the game seven. You're thinking they should have all the mo in the world. No, it's Boston that wins that game. Like, yeah, in baseball, they say momentum,

tomorrow's starting pitcher. Kuznetsoff had been a healthy scratch. He's got goals in back-to-back games, got the game winner last night, and we got to see it. We got to whatever that thing is. Well, they played for the capitals, so that would be the bald eagle, I'd think. But is he bigger than that?

Maybe it's an albatross. It's a, I wonder. On door. Because he played for Russia when the world juniors are in Canada, in Calgary, pardon me, remember that? He was so good. Did he do the eagle then?

I'm wondering if he was doing it then. Anyway. Kuznetsov gets back in and he scores. Natchez, a goal and an assist for what it's worth. I guess it was an empty netter. But they, uh, I find myself almost wanting to see this for Rod the Bod now.

Come on, Rod. Hell yeah. Last year you got swept and you're like, no, it's not a sweep. It's not a sweep. Okay, come on. Get these guys going. Now, Carolina, only nine teams have ever even forced the game seven after being down 03. And four teams have come all the way back to do it. Yes. Two of them like the 50s or 60s, right? The Kings in 2014 against San Jose. Who! Peter Labuillette, oddly enough. He was coaching the Flyers when they did it against Boston in 2010. Tough one for Jack. You'll remember this one back in 75 when the Islanders did it to the penguins. Jeez.

And then in the 40s, the Leafs did it to Detroit. So yeah, really two in our lives in our lifetime. And you remember those series, right? Like the Boston Philly was huge. And then on,

you know, the other one you referenced is wild. Like those are, we talked about it when they're down 30. Does it ever look like there's a team that's like, oh, no, they just got to fix this and they'll be fun.

I'm like, of course they don't. They're down 3.0. But there's still that 1% chance. You do it 100 times. It's going to happen. Yeah. And give Carolina credit.

They haven't quit. And we all love game sevens, of course. But there is something a little more juicy when it's a blown lead, like a 3-1. Oh, the stress, yes. Hell yeah. That's the Boston series. 3-1, yeah. Because if it kind of goes back and four, ah, 2, 2, 3-2, okay, we'll go to game seven.

But if it's- You're a bunch of chokers if you choke away a 3-0-0 lead, right? Because today's Tuesday, Thursday, be game 6. We'd be talking about a Saturday night game 7. Come on. Oh, man. Come on, Rod. Rod the fucking bod. Calvin Pickard.

Cal. Old Cal Pickard is the starting goaltender for the Evanton Oilers tonight. Well, I like it, but I wouldn't be doing it if I was Chuck. I don't know what the best option is here. I don't like any other options, which got me back to yesterday's comments or it's just like, this is on the GM. You never really went and got a veteran option here. This is a guy that's cleared waivers every year and is a hard number three.

Could he get hot? Of course he could. The hamburger did. Johann Headberg did. We've seen crazy goaltending stories. Guys coming up from the coast and playing well. Could he play well? Sure.

That you have McDavid and Drysidal in their prime the last, second last year together and that your best option might be Calvin Picker today. That's an absolute someone's, it's an abortion of a job you've done. That's what I'm, that's what I am curious. And again, we want drama. Game 7, team screwed it up. Calvin, Calvin Pickard, shitting his pants tonight.

And Drysidal and McDavid walking in going, uh, excuse me, this doesn't work anymore. Like, you know, I'm making, but at what point?

Mm-hmm. It would be really hard to, if you were McDavid or Drysettel, sit down with your agent and have a big picture of you of your entire careers and say, we've been given enough. I want to stay here and do that. I think there'd be. overwhelming pile of evidence suggesting that almost anywhere else you would have had a better chance.

So let's move past the GM work. If you're if you're old new kids on the knob block there, these are your two goalies. Retro, are you based on what you've seen from Skinner? Are you going to Pickard today? Because this feels like I'm guessing all out desperation, our season's on the line. We're going to the guy who hasn't played has never. ever played a playoff game and hasn't started since April 14. I'm not going to Pickard.

Ryan? He had a good little run for a while. I'd go to Campbell before Pickard. It screams desperation to me, doesn't it? Doesn't it feel like Pan? Oh, it's absolute desperate. You're not going to Calvert there yet because you feel like he's a better goal. You're going because you don't know what the hell else to do.

Yeah. And so if you watch game three, they weren't bad. They had some shitty goaltending. And if you have that type of effort and you have the number of chances you have, you're going to win a lot of hockey games. So this just feels like a panic reaction. action when this is the same two goal as you were looking at the deadline. You decided to sit pat and move a first for Adam Henrique.

Like what's changed now? The other part of it is too, because I know you're going to go on a tangent. I got to jump in once you get going on the anti-oiler stuff. It's just crazy. They can do yourself. Like you got Skinner, Camelawks, and Pickard. What the hell are we talking about here? So what else it is?

So it's pure desperation. I agree with you. I don't know what I would do. It's not like you've got some backlog of Pickard playoff games that you've been watching because there isn't any. What it also does in a way is I feel like it's letting your forwards off. I guess she loves has been great, and I don't know if it's bare down a little bit more, but of the four goals that they gave up, two were on the power play and two were essentially

giveaways in their own zone. And they hit goalposts and this whole thing. You need your forwards to be better. you need your goal tending to be better. Yeah. But now it feels like Skinner's take it. Way to go. Skinner.

You're why we're down in the series. How do you go back to Skinner if Pickard doesn't win? I actually think they will win with Pickard or, but the problem being the reason they might not win is because you put Calvin Pickard in net. Like I think the Oilers win tonight. Yeah. They just stick to their gun.

The picker blowout is that that probability is real. Like there, there's a reason he clears waivers every year and makes no money. teams don't think he's an NHL goalie. Exactly. So if you put him in and it backfires, you've sunk the season and you may have sewered the franchise.

GM's gone anyway. It's the last year Kenny's deal. The new guy comes in, but this is, we're starting to see more and more. Again, Dino, like, there's just not enough around these two superstars. And look, they've drafted and developed one really good piece in the last decade. Like, Evan Bouchard's a great player. Where's everyone else?

And not wanting to talk GM? stuff, well, that's all there is. Yes. And people say, well, how are they supposed to add a goalie when Campbell's making five of the miners? Like, yeah, how is Campbell making five in the miners? Who was that GM that screwed Ken Holland? Oh, that was Ken Holland. Got it. Nails. I'm not going to. You're literally putting their season on the line of the third string goal. It's wild. It's had a nice run this year at times, but it's... Boss, can you find Calvin Pickard's career stuff? Like, what are we talking about here?

never beat the Canucks I thought I saw it was 021 okay numbers on the odd time and he's in the NHL and you don't want to belittle a guy I mean okay what are you based Alex Lyon for Florida he's got I mean he's got more experience than Skinner right Skinner's still kind of a kid I'm just I'm just right sake I'm

yeah I know we're all in the same What about Jack Campbell's he have experience but there are a lot of people who cover the team on a regular basis at Edmonton that do feel like this is the right move. So that's the same group that thought Skinner was a top five goal tender too, though, right? Like this is the absolute great job GM. People throwing flowers at him. We got gold.

Skinner's got her. He's good. So their opinion is basically shit anyway. Yeah, there's just a lot of cheerleading there for whatever the last two GMs have done. And in hindsight, it's like, how is no one critical of all this shit? like the Miko Koskinan extension, the crazy darnel nurse extension. You know, the the trades are insane. Everly to a paper club.

Morris trophy guy. What? Since one. Like you've, you've held them accountable, Ryan, enough for everything. Thank you. Someone has to. You've held their feet to the fire.

No, but you listen to the post game shows like, oh, our guys are this and we wouldn't. And you're like, it's a lot of family. It's a fandom that's not realistic about stuff. No, like, realistically, they should be very critical the, work to GMs on. I've not seen any public facing stuff from major media there doing that. There just isn't. I'll say this. For Knoblock, he has to feel very firm that Pickard gives him a better chance to win.

Or he's a rookie making a big fucking mistake. There's a lot of guys in his ear right now, I guess. He hasn't been around there long. Right? It feels, it does. It feels like not that Skinner has been great, but at least there you're maybe kind of going. down with the ship. Yeah.

So what happens if he plays well and they lose? Are we back to Skinner? Yeah, I don't know. Or he doesn't play well and they win? Like, I don't know. This is interesting. I think you had a good chance tonight. Susie being gone is a big, big hole for Vancouver.

I'm with you, Pender. I actually think that they're going to win, but it will be in spite of Pickard. And the only way they do lose is because of Pickard. Yeah. Like, they just have a really good shot today because, A, they played well, and B, you know, Vancouver now has to insert Noah Julesen, who is not anywhere near as good as what Carson Sussi's been to them.

And if Pickard's not the guy to carry, like, are we envisioning Calvin hoisting the cup? They're just trying to get even in the series, yeah. I get that. No, they're, like, you can't. You can't. No. But I'm sorry, bud. That's why it feels like a panic move.

Right? Because like, this is your guy. You've locked him in. He's young. Like, this is where you can show confidence in them. The thing about it is, too, you can definitely defend it because Skinner's numbers have not been any good. 100%. And they've been so badly outplayed.

How are Calvin Pickard's playoff numbers? Who is he played? That's the point, right? He's had one game, 16 minutes, three saves. You saw it. Good job. It was two nights ago. That's his playoff experience.

But any time you can lean on that. And look, if Skinner doesn't work, we've always. always got this guy with zero playoff minutes in his career we can turn to. We don't need to upgrade this to the deadline. What are you talking about? And again, we don't want to talk about it because it's an offseason thing and it, they shouldn't be in this

situation. Bender's right. You can't, it's easy to say we're not going to talk about the big picture, but everything the GMs have done for the last 10 years is how you've gotten here. No, I understand. And the reason I bring it up is because you, I know, I know, I know, it's just hard because it's Like, how do we get here?

I know. How the hell do we get here? I know. This shouldn't be a problem that you're having to deal with. Like, this guy is. So he's been a pro for 14 years and he's got 140 games in the NHL. He's averaging about 10 NHL games per year. He's been a pro. That's no playoff games.

You brought it up. We kind of skin past it. But I think you're being honest. even though Jack Campbell hasn't been with the team for some time. Would you be putting him in tonight instead of 100%. I would 100% go to Jack Campbell over Calvin Picker. Well, boss, can you find Jack Campbell's career numbers? I've got a better sense of what Jack Campbell is.

Yeah, he's not earning his $5 million. So you wanted to dump him to the money. I get that. But Jack Campbell's played and playoff hockey games. He was good last year in relief of Skindog. Can you put the Pickard graphic backup, Jack? I know we got you scrambled around back there, but because again, you know, it's not to throw anybody under the bus,

but I was kind of looking into it because I just, there were a lot of people up there that say, Pickard going in this game is probably the right move because he's been good this season. So those are the numbers. I don't know how you feel about the body of word or the, the sample size, so 12 and 7, a 2.45 and a 909 with a shutout in there. You can't put stock into what these people are saying because Skinner was the answer.

That's my point. Yeah, those are Skinner's numbers over the regular season, aren't they? They're nice. It's definitely a really nice season for a 31-year-old that has been on waivers every year. Like, that's a really nice campaign. Who else is in this spot? Like, I'm trying to think about backup goalies that would come in. in. Like I just, this is a journeyman.

So maybe he's not going to be rattled. That's an advantage. Does that sway yet? But he's never started a playoff game ever. He's 31. Ever has been in the league forever. Kind of. And Jack Campbell is with the team as a black ace. I don't know what he's looked like or when the last time Bakersfield played. He had a 9-61 last year, but it was all in relief of Skinner. He came in four times in relief of Skinner in that run where they. eventually got ousted by Vegas. But coming in off the bench, I don't know how much you want to read into that.

Skinner's numbers with Toronto. He had one really good postseason, one really shitty postseason. Campbell's numbers with Toronto? Yeah, one year he was 934, the other he was 897. And I'm kind of with you. Again, I don't like it when we all agree.

And it luckily very seldom happens. That's good, yeah. Thanks to one of us. It feels like on a regular basis. But anyway, I feel like tomorrow when we do this thing, it's going to be, well, the Oilers won, and it's going to, whoever played in net is probably going to be of little consequence. Because I feel like, yeah, the Oilers are probably going to be really good.

That's the boring show. I know. The exciting show is like Pickard's bad. And maybe they like survive him and win. And you know what? I don't want to do the holy shit Pickard was good show. I don't want to do that one either. I don't need that show.

You're not going to. The only one I would, I would love to do the, he put his pads on the wrong legs. That's how, frigging bad this guy is. Two on six to start, something like that. There's your peak chaos show tomorrow. Can you imagine? Because the others can come back from that and then go right back to Skinner at that point.

Red, do you have your coaching hat? Have you got your coach your coaching hat on? Is that it? I can't really tell. It's a long distance. If you're Rick Talkett, what's the message to your team? Play the same way. We don't worry about who we play against.

Because whenever you start, you don't want to set a trend of trying to find reasons in the other team's room as your motivating factor. Because I feel like Kinnuck forwards, if the players would be like, oh, man. Yeah, we're, that's what happened to Toronto. That's what happened to Toronto when Hachick didn't play. Then you get off.

Fat cat city. It's no, no, no. Fat cat city. So if I'm Rick Tocke, I'm 100% saying, I don't give a flying F, who's in net. We're playing the Oilers. This is our game plan. We're going to play that way.

that's it and i think there's enough system shit that he's got to focus on it's been two third periods in a row where they've had a really tough time creating anything and it feels like they've been just clinging on with their fingernails in game two they couldn't hold on and they got hemmed in their own zone shift after shift after shift and in game three it's like okay we're at least we're getting it out and getting changes but it's really we're just getting it out to get the change and then they're back in it's there's a lot of areas ricktokas can be focusing on that doesn't have anything to do with their goal and i think that's exactly where it'll be probably gonna watch

think so probably i'm probably gonna sit down tonight and maybe take it in yeah yeah think so um i'll move some stuff around i might watch but yeah you're gonna make some time yeah what time is that puck dropped down a little bit yeah i hate to miss 730 tonight look at that 730 noodles will be so happy feel like i want to be there for the start of it too i don't really want to miss that maybe first shot on pickers yeah uh cal tire Good, good partner of the program.

I just finished my, because I had a last thought on all of this and we kind of poked fun at it.

The oiler fan, God love him if you're an oiler. But from afar, everything is well thought out and that is the exact right decision coach. We've had Pickard in the waiting. He's ready to go. look at his numbers. He's dialed in and he's been waiting for this opportunity. Great call. That's the approach to this.

Like they're all buying that bullshit. They're like, yeah, Pickard. Yeah. Come on, Pinker! It's your time, buddy. I'm going to get a jersey. Yeah, it would be a lot of Pickard jerseys in the stands, I imagine. The Euler fan is 100% committed.

Yes. Yeah, the guys with face paint on, the grown men with multiple colored face. paints on. This is absolutely obvious decision and there's no quibbling here. Yeah. It's all very good. We hate Skinner. You suck. Yeah, you're terrible. But I do. Again,

it's, I could be completely off because I'm the wrong guy to talk to about it, but I do feel like there's there's an awful lot being heaped on Skinner here that probably there's some share to go around. It doesn't feel like anyone's I'm not hearing a whole lot. I'm not hearing a whole

about all your forwards you're shooting at about 4% or whatever the frick of a Anyone not named Hyman Drysidler or McDavid could probably contribute a little more. Anyway, I Please Lord. Hockey gods? Please.

Big Jesus. Dear Lord, baby, Jesus. Calvin Pickard could soil himself. Nothing just different. There's another game tonight too. I don't know if anyone cares. Like,

are we, we're just done Boston, right? Like, no, no Marshan tonight. Like, they're done.

Right? I think they're cooked. I do think they're cooked. And Florida is just, you know, their chance last game, they're up only to watch Florida rally late. They're already pissing and moaning about refs.

Well, I was going to say, because that's part of it, they're losing. They're down in this series. And they've been, what have the score has been? Six one,

six two. It was close in the last one. But they have been just, they're upset about the Bennett hit. They're upset that the refs screwed him on the cross check into the goalie and Bennett's scores. And they're down and Marchand. The coach is pissed off at everyone.

Yeah, the coach is right. It just doesn't feel like there's enough composure there to turn it around. But again, we've talked about momentum. Sometimes it comes up and when you have no idea, it's coming and it shocks the hell idea. But I would be, I would be on the shocked right to hell category. I'd love to hear the, uh, us talking about the Dallas series when they were down two go to Vegas. And that might be the team that lifts this whole thing, right? Like, it's just... Oh, I think

we were, we weren't fooled. Were we? I don't know. Let's burn the tape and pretend we knew we're dead on them. Yeah, let's definitely not go back. Boss, we delete episode 348. Yeah, definitely not on YouTube. It's so hard to find it if you want to. Now, I don't know, I was talking with somebody yesterday about AI. And I said, it's hard for it.

We doing this show with video and that we really have to make sure that what we're watching or listening to is real. It's hard to know sometimes. Retro? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Because I sit here before the show and I'll watch a clip and I'm sure,

Ryan, when you put together the Pinderport, we've talked about it. Now, this guy flying off of the, off of a building or smash. Is this real or is it AI? Yeah. Now, I'm, so I'll defer to you. I'll get Jack to play something here.

Now, this, this popped up. and I think it's a few days old. But I need your help. I can't tell if this is AI or not. This is Sheldon Keefe, of course. He's been let go by the Toronto Maple Leafs. I don't know if this is AI or not. No wonder this franchise hasn't won a cup since 1967.

My players fucked me. It's a bad beat. Mitch Marner cries on my bench. Willie Nealander won't play because he's got a headache. Austin Matthews leads the league in scoring, but takes game six off. Shanahan, I fucking quit. I'm going to Pittsburgh to coach for Daddy Dubus.

So, I mean, Jack, you got to do a better job on the bleeps. Like, that's just, yeah, the censoring was really on. Like, why even beeping at all? We love honesty out of guys get interviewed. Yeah.

Daddy Dubus. He was far more, uh, when he was on the pat on, on the dock there in front of, wherever the hell he was. That looked great. Yeah. Is he Grand Cayman or something?

Something like that. Yeah. But I don't know. I don't think he's wrong, but either way. I guess it's up to debate, up to debate. That's weird to be the big 180 from that to the, uh, yeah, that's maybe why he was so. Emotionally unstable, obviously.

Pleasant on the dock. It's, geez, I really ripped these guys the other night. Emotions are on high. Time for the Pinder report, presentation of Village Honda. The Honda Accord, 24, well, was redesigned in 2023, and thus was chosen by car and driver magazine as the number one mid-sized sedan. 2024, even better. One of the most reliable vehicles on the road, superior ride quality, reliability,

impressive fuel economy, thanks to the EXL hybrid. It is truly one of the best and has been for a long time. Take one for a ride today at Village Honda, located in the Northwest Automol. You can check things out online as well at VillageHonda.com, and they present. Ryan Pinder. Ryan Pinder. A bit of unusual news yesterday, gentlemen, as we've had a major shuffle

atop the Calgary Flames organization. In fact, Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation, as John Bean is stepping down after 14 and a half years. Julian McKenzie breaking the news as Bean went on as it was confirmed later in a press release to say that this was over a year in the making

and that he's helping them transition to two new leaders. Wow, didn't see this coming, fellas. Rett, are you involved in this? No, I wish you'd be. Is this a hostile takeover? Is this a mutiny rat that you're leading? We're partners in this endeavor.

If you were going to be doing something like this, I thought you'd give us a heads up. To hear it from Pinder in a Pinder report, I'm not happy about it. I don't want anyone to catch on that I've kind of been stirring the drink. That's totally exactly. Yeah. Well, did you draw attention to yourself when you're running this whole coup yourself?

Yeah. I was in Buffalo. What are you? How could it be right? He didn't seem to know anything about it on the show. He's an idiot. How could he know? Makes sense now.

And probably some pretty big shoes to fill for John, has been there forever. In fact, two people will come in and do the job. Robert Munich immediately, Bobby Germany, started digging yesterday. The new C.O.O. is Lorenzo DeCiccio, I believe. He has worked with Cavalry FC and at TELUS. And, yeah, as a leadership consulting company.

Or is that like a de chico? De Sissio? There's no I.O at the end. I don't know. Yeah. De Sici. So it wouldn't be the CCEO. Let's go back.

Let's go back. DeCico. De Cicca. We're going to need Lorenzo to come on the show just so we can. Come on, Lorenzo. Let's straighten this out. Figure it out. I'm just going to call them the LDC if that's okay with everyone.

You're good with that? So LDC is the new C-O. What about the CEO? Well, finally, look at this. Robert Hayes is the guy. He's been working with RBC, a bank, and is in maybe the highest end banking you will find in terms of like massive, massive net worths dealing with people probably with B's not M's. That's a guy that's going to have to deal with Murray Edwards a lot. And I feel like that's probably not strange for him to be dealing with someone in that sort of wheelhouse.

It's an interesting hire. A guy coming from the banking universe. I was told by people that no more than I do about this, that this is about as big as a big wig gets in the banking world. the kind of sphere and circle he was working in. That's your new CEO of Calgary Sports Entertainment Corporation. Now, Rhett, you were talking, was it fat cats in Toronto that you were talking? Are these, did they get some fat cats coming here? Or are these big wigs?

Ryan says they're big wigs. Well, they're for sure big wigs. I don't know about fat cats. We're going to see. That's be lazy. I don't know that. He's going to be working hard. He's a new job trying to impress everyone.

We'll analyze the fat cat syndrome and see if it sinks in. But, you know, I'm sure Peter. Handlin's reached out to you guys to book time for the guys to come into studio. Yeah. I text. It's probably, I don't know if that's the way the street goes. I guess we're supposed to reach out to them and say, hey, we'd like to get them on the show.

This is the, uh, do you want, what? I'm just, I don't know. Dean doesn't want to, would you like to get, uh, Lorenzo, now again, there's, LDC. I'm just, it's the Chico. Trust me.

The Chico. An Italian says TM. So do we, Lorenzo? Love that handle. De Chico. De Chico, you want to get him on the show? Hell yeah. He should want to come on.

He's the C-O-O. We'll talk about what stocks. Either way, they should both want to come on the show to promote what they're going to do for the franchise. Let's talk about it. People that pay attention and care about the team, our listeners could, we're going to track these guys down? That's Fat Cat. We don't want no fat cats.

Okay. Yeah. So for right now, I'll just write it down. Big Wigs. Yeah. TBD on whether or not they're fat cats. Right.

Got it. Okay. Quote, this guy is as bigwig as bankers get, end quote. Bigwig. Like WIG. Are bankers big wig? I guess they are, right? I mean, when you're in the...

Who's our big wig? Because there's two things to this, right? Because bankers are also idiots that... Oh, is that right? Work at banks. Bad news for the flames, isn't it? Terrible news. Some of these banks have

gazillions of dollars that they're throwing around. Like which, is he the bagger that was putting the money in the ATM? That doesn't feel like big wings off. He had his dollar sign bags. Oh, he looked after the dollar sign bags to make sure, because whenever you see a robber,

they've got those. Well, if they don't have the dollar sign bags, they can't steal the money. What's the Monopoly guy's name? What? Bank. Monocle? Is he have a monocle or is that Mr. Peanut?

I think he's got a monocle. Mr. Peanut absolutely is. Does he? We're going to ask this guy, Robert Hayes, if he has a monocle. All of these important questions. How are these people from, by the way? They're just names. Who all Lorenzo?

Maybe they're AI. That would be a tough hire for the flames. It might be a great hire. You never know. You're paying them too much. That's a computer that'll do it for free. You don't know that's a real picture. You're kidding me.

Bomb Pound. A monopoly guy a little. his head's a little rounder that would work better. Oh, Jesus, Ryan. What? Personal assaults on these people are. No, he looks like a very successful thing. It's the thing about saying it on live and it's, it doesn't disappear.

You know, we're not going to get old LBC on the show that, you know, ripping these guys. Real nice, Ryan. Real nice. Best of luck, fellas. We're rooting for you. Let's move on to last night's hockey games. Maybe we can agree to disagree there too. Carolina, that's a big win.

It was 1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1. We've just trying to teach him how to be socially acceptable. It just refuses to catch on. When you talk that much, inevitably, things are going to sneak by the filter. It's surprising that it does not have more often. Right? Like when there's just that much stuff going out at all times, it's hard to kind of should I say that it's appropriate.

Open, open, open, open, open, open. open. Oh, look at his head. You know, sometimes it's going to sneak through. It's not an impenetrable defense. Looks like a great banker. What are the odds it's going to be the RBC Saddle Dom? I'll see. That's good.

You use your network, right? Okay, fellas, bad news, Valerie Nitchewski. This Frank Baum yesterday, not only shook the hockey world, but certainly the Aves locker room, if you've watched, six months, no pay, must apply for reinstatement.

And again, it's his third time, right? This is not a first time slip up. It's a guy that's got some off ice issues. Yeah, that's just that it's easy to, you know, we're a fairly lighthearted show and it's easy to joke about it, but. I don't like, yeah.

That's probably a life issue that can end up in a life-death situation. Yeah. Yeah, we don't know exactly what's going on, except that this is the second playoffs in a row where he has created a massive distraction for the team. Last year it was in Seattle where they lost in massive upset fashion of the Kraken. This year it's after a 2-1 deficit that promptly was turned into a 3-1 deficit. Here's Jared Bednar post-game asked about the whole situation.

I've already belabored this, but we know there's a huge. human element involved here that you look at is important also. But how much did Val let down you and this team? Well, yeah, I'm not going to go there. I think, like, listen, Val obviously is struggling with something, right? I have two thoughts. Yeah, it sucks for our team. We've got to turn the page.

We've got to go play way better than we did today. There's still 20 plus guys in that room that care and that want to win and that are here. that we have to focus on. It hurts our team. There's no question. He's a great player. And the second one is like I've gotten to know Val as a person and I've gotten to know him as one of our teammates and a player and I want what's best for him and I want him to be happy and I want to be content in his life whether that's with our team or not with their team. I want up the best for him and his family. I think all of our guys are the same and we hope that he can like find some peace and get help. And so that's,

other side of it. Like it's not hockey's not life and death, although we treat it like it is. And so fouls a big priority and our team's like another one. Now it's separated. They're not together. Like he's done for six months plus whatever that, whatever that looks like. And so again, we treat it like an injured player that's not able to play for us like OC or Landy. I mean, we got to worry about the guys that are on the ice and are able to play for us. Mid November six months. Handled pretty well there. Obviously awkward.

That's the high road. Your team just got ventilated. You're facing elimination. And you have real life stuff. I thought that was pretty well done by Jared Bednar. I think he talked to people, pretty classy, pretty good guy. Yep. That's not a spot he thought he was going to be in at whatever 8 o'clock that morning.

so not great. Jack Johnson less so he had this quote post game. He made his decisions. That's all I'm going to say on this. He made his decision. He'll know more about it than we would. That's his, you know, that's his take on it. It's the right to feel that way for sure.

You know, not to be flimsy on it, but we have no idea what's happening, what has happened, all of that sort of stuff. Yeah. There's enough circumstantial stuff to be like, this isn't good. And then, you know, after last year where you have the whole hotel lobby medical help flee the team back to Russia posing with AK-47s and G-Wagons in Russia in the

summer that probably doesn't look good when you put that next to this and now he's got yeah and even go back to Dallas first round pick of the stars and when had no goals in one season now you watch him now it's yeah you hope that hockey be damn he's a hell of a hockey player it sucks for the abs right now but like you said red there's one way you don't want to see this story in So get it figured out and get right. Whether you play again, that'd be great, but figure it out. And so everything looks phenomenal for the Dallas stars and their chances of winning a lot of things. Not to say yay for the bad news that they have suffered, but they're up 3-1 after last night.

They've been in full control. Only losses in game one where they kind of fell asleep at the wheel with a big lead. And all of a sudden you look back to that Vegas series and what? They've suffered two losses in their last. That's something we haven't even talked about. Eleven games. They had total control of game one. But hang on.

Some issues might be cropping up for the stars as well. We showed you this earlier. This is Star Deadline pickup. Chris Tanna, slewfoot from, I believe, Ross Colton. Or is it Miles Wood? I don't want to get this wrong. Sorry, folks. A little grainy.

But down he goes and did not come back. Now the game's out of hand, so you might be totally fine, or it could be Chris Tannav is now laboring through injury or not available at all. We won't know until... Not get drilled a lot? Always has, always well. DeBore said he'd know more today.

This is free me yesterday. On Hints and Tannov. Also, Craig Smith got hurt. No disrespect to Craig Smith. This is a deep forward group. They can survive at Craig Smith absence much more easily than maybe hints or even Chris Tanna. Certainly, Christana.

Does that feel like a shot of Cricksman? It feels like it might be. Supposedly said it shouldn't be. So what are we got tonight? Well, we'll see if the Boston Bruins are cooked or not. They certainly looked, what would you call it? Medium rare at this point? They're almost, might be time to get them done, right?

Pull them off the... I think they'd say they're medium at least, not even... Yeah, okay. Might be too far gone. Might be too far gone. What are we cooking? It's a good question. Yeah.

And then tonight, it's been the series with all the drama. how could it not have been Vancouver and Edmonton head to head can be good yeah old Calvin so no Marshand tonight

for the Bruins after the sneaky ninja punch from Sam Bennett in game three did not play game four will not play game five don't worry Fluto I gave you a follow there that's my bad should have been following you earlier got you now bud Fluto has been doing it forever

I don't know why it took you this long Flood, I must have confused with someone else, some ass hat in Boston. Not you. You're one of us. You're a good, you're a good guy. Not good for the Bruins. Not good at all. And it's funny, we talk about how good this team has been

for how long and how well they've done it, this or that. One cup. Well, and again, I mentioned it earlier. You go, they get the cup. It was that 2010 series against the Flyers when they were up three nothing and blew that one. When it all comes, I'm sure that's...

Louis, right? Was it 3-2 against St. Louis? They had it against St. Louis. They blew it against Chicago. And we would say that's a group of winners. And there they were almost blowing a second consecutive 3-1 series lead, which has never happened in pro sports before in North America. And we always say that once you've got the banner in the ring,

everything else you do wonder. The banner's 13 years old. If there's a bit of... Should we have done more? Maybe. You want a little extra? your spice in this Canucks Oilers series just had online

where it's been an absolute bloodbath. The latest is VanderKane's X posting this photo of the kid a set to R. Jesus. You cannot make the shit up. Kept the last name.

She did keep the last name. You know, it probably costs money, legal process to do that sort of stuff. Yeah, I don't know. Twitter won't let me change the handle. I don't know. And maybe, you know,

like maybe she had like McGillicuddy was her maiden name just Anna McGillicuddy Anna McGillicuddy Anna Kane just easier saves time think of the time she'd save over the course of her life when she's being introduced to people hi I'm Anna McGillicudy Anna Anna McGillickey Anna Dame Gn at days AMG Dave looking forward for more her on Instagram keep it up Anna fucking McGillicuddy every damn time Craig Barubei what you up to in Winnipeg today what's it like May and Winnipeg today what's it like May and Dean panis of mosquitoes zero chance

perubi's going to winnipig he just he literally has just gone to winnipeg uh but yeah to stay that's a tougher bet what percent zero zero dean so you're not even wow you're saying there's no chance so say zero means dean zero said no leaps have talked to them

yep stupid that's what zero means Well, is he going to go, maybe he'll go to Ottawa then, because the expensive... Nope, Travis Green. Right. It's a best in class organization, Dean. So when someone like Travis Green becomes available, have a shot. And who could have known it was coming? The other thing that got interesting in the coaching search, there was, of course, people in Los Angeles with their phones out as Todd McClellan boarded a direct flight to Toronto.

And of course, he... Now being reported, he is meeting with the Leafs. Of course they're going to meet with Top of Claw. That makes sense. You know, of course they're going to. If they didn't, people, people be outraged about that. Don't be outraged. I've got a sneaking suspicion.

We have a Joel Quenville back into the NHL scenario unfolding. Wow. Or to Winnipeg because I've heard there's a zero percent chance. Our sources are saying there's a zero percent chance that Craig Bruby is going to now, why do you say that? It's Winnipeg. Jake Dean. So not roster construction or...

Plenty of great options out there. What are his other options? Because I feel like if he was going to coach the devils, he'd be there already. Yeah, he's just, he's... Seattle? Toronto? Toronto? I mean, I'm with you.

It's not the sexiest, but what if everyone else has said, eh, you finish second? Now are you going to win a pig or are you just like, I'll wait another year? I'll eat six boxes of KD then. So. Six boxes of KD if he coaches there. I just would be surprised that that would be, you know what it would be like? Okay.

I'm saying zero. That's me. I'll eat crow. It would be like if you're a free agent and they pay you too much to come there. He does not want to go to Winnipeg. So can I say that? There's zero percent chance.

He wants to go to. Winnipeg but if they're going to pay him a whole bunch of money he will go yeah this is like stamp coast coming to Calgary for agency when they are from 15 million of course I feel like though you've already thrown out the six boxes and whether or not I mean the the the motivation behind him going to win a peg isn't what we're doubting necessarily it's that you said there's zero percent chance he's going to win a peg six boxes I'll stick with it all right good six boxes jack write it down boss six seems like a lot maybe four that's done off to the world championships.

We go where Marty Possible, we told you yesterday was being an absolute shit against the Americans. This is the opening face-off of the game, the opening face-off of the game. Feast your eyes. Center ice, buddy. What bad piece to do is right off the drop,

into Pospisville, I love it. Two NHLers back home and ready to go. I hope that sets the tone. And right off the drop, we might have a ball early. Yeah, I love it. That was interesting to say the lead. He had two goals against Kazakhstan.

Shane Pinto's in a bad mood. Another rail ball and another cross check, right off the second drop. I bet Shane Pinto didn't see that coming. Well, actually, Champa is a lot of bad, so I should take that one back. Panthers had a nice young draft pick come in and they do the car wash. Hey, welcome to the NFL. This is Carolina Panthers football. This fellow, I'm not sure how much media training he's done.

A bit of a quick talker and storyteller. Love the personality, but he's being asked about having a job or has just been football his whole life. I know, I haven't ever had a job for real. I'll be the Twitter, Twitter with COVID. One of my partners was working at KFC. I went in there. He kept making me to cool because I was just chilling at that house.

I went in about two weeks and I got on through. I don't know what he said, love him. Who's 17? This is my new favorite. He's buddy at KFC or Steve's worth KFC. Yes, KSita during COVID. That's what I caught. I like it.

Can we eat KFC if you're on OZMPIC? Are you on OZMPIC, is it something you're worried about? No, I should be, but I'm not. If you did, it feels like that would show up in the Pinder report in the dumb shit category, eventually. Have you guys gotten through the Brady

roast yet? Not yet. I I keep saving it. Holy shit. That Nikki Glazer just eviscerates everyone in the room. And I've never, I laughed so hard. I've got a scolding for potentially waking up children. Let's go to the BCHL. Huge game six here, Rhett.

I believe we got Surrey against Port-Alberney. Bulldogs against the Eagles. Why are we showing you BCHO? Well, something must have happened. Let's watch. Left wing into the bulldog zone. Drop past. Cranston in front block loose puck somehow kept out by tongue on a crazy redirect that has

Cated Cranston putting both hands on top of his head saying how did that not go in I thought from my visual perspective here that was missing the net oh my goodness tongue caught it behind himself that is the most magnificent scene I have perhaps ever Pretty tidy. Holy cow. Yeah, that's a, whoop. Full splits, glove hand behind your back, catching the puck

on your blocker side, mid. How the hell would you think to do that? Because when your first instinct, you're going to try and reach with the he's got to push. He's going the other way. He's not going to get the blocker. Wild. By the way, I think we have two game sevens of the BCHL tonight.

Penticton Salmon Arm, and then these two in the coastal So is he starting for the Oilers tonight? Don't believe they can get him in on the roster because we're past that, yeah, not eligible for the place. Got it. It could sign him. Organizational depth. Maybe he'll.

Chop shop. Soup he could work. They go together. NFL's trickling out their schedule, fellas. We heard about the season opener. What was it? Ravens Chiefs on a Thursday, I want to say, maybe a Wednesday? Okay, Thursday.

Now we get Aaron Rogers in primetime week one. Sounds familiar, right? Last year, Aaron Rogers, prime time, week one. What he lost? Like four snaps? It was ugly. Oh, I don't think it was four, was it? Three?

It was like first series for the offense for the Jets. And he was, well, there's the season. Rogers will face the vaunted 49ers defense. That's a good game. And I don't know if the Jets are good or not, but Aaron Rogers certainly gives him a chance of being good that they didn't get with the Milfunter. So you'll have my attention

for that, Red. That's the shirt I was wearing. The Milf Hunter. There's your first Bill's game. Actually, it's not. It's the second. It's week two, that's your Thursday night or Red, the first Thursday game of the year that isn't this is a game. That's a good question. Why don't they say that? Boss, can you hunt that for us? What? I figured out for you, right? Why does it matter?

Let's go. He's going to be there. That's why. Why don't we go? Go where? We, you have to drive 10 minutes from your house. How do you talk about we? This game. Look at this game, you guys. Uh-huh.

Jump on three flights and we can do this. So where are we going to watch it? We don't even know where it is. Either way. You don't want to go to Miami? Look at you. Well, you scream Miami. I do.

You got shades and everything. Fat cat over here. He was feeding people macaroons last time he was in Miami and it started a pandemic. We're going to Miami. We're going to Miami. Thank you, boss. Yes. See?

If I was going to Miami, I'm not sure I picked. Okay. What? What? You know what? You're like my relatives that still live in that small town. Well, I couldn't go to Shrift Kurt today because it's Tuesday. And you know Tuesday.

I'm just not sure. Well, but it's Tuesday, Dean. We can't. Shriff Kurt on Tuesday? I would love, I would, I would, love to go to Miami and watch the dolphins play. I'm just not sure if that's the headbutt you. All right.

That's September deans. It's going to be gorgeous. What are you talking about? I'm not talking about the weather. So who would you like to see them play? Well, that's, you know,

your bears? That's tough. AFC, NFC, that doesn't have, I would want to look at the schedule. No, he's in fully committed.

Damn right. How about those bills? Let's go to baseball. This is probably Korea, I'm thinking. Don't be racist. that's actually a country on earth where these two teams are playing baseball

the Korean League. I think that those characters are Korean, not Japanese. I'm not, I'm pretty darn sure that's Korea. Let's go. Oh, he.

And that's a strike. That's, uh, it's my battleship. You don't even get to take your base on that one. Shut the front door. Jeez. Right in the pack of radicalia. Jeez.

Yeah. That'll ruin your weekend. Yeah. You ever take one out on the family jewels, Rhett? Playing ball? I'm playing hockey too. Yes, playing hockey, I did.

Yes. Enough sports. Let's get to a crocodile fight. Maybe it's a gator fight. Let's get close and see what it is. We're on the golf course here. What the heck? Some big boys going out of here, Dino.

One of them is a little bit bigger than the other. Golly. So there's that, this pawn's too big for the both of us, Dean. Where? Geez. Holy cow. Tooth, yeah, there there. Just shedding teeth, Brett.

You think he's out? That a lot is in trouble. That's not a good defensive position. The on my back, soft underbelly up. No. That's not the move. Whoa. You're back.

And now the big guy's like, yeah, I think I've made my point. And this guy's like, yep, you have. I'm just going to lay here and die now. He can barely stand up. I'd get closer just to get a little more. Yeah, I would definitely. What were they hoping the outcome was going to be there? Hey, guy, guy, hey, hey, hey, stop it, you guys.

Well, he can barely stand up. I don't know about that. Who would you take it a fight, Dean, a mongoose or a snake? Mongoose. Mungoos apparently very good refluxes. Red, who do you like? The mongoose or the cobra here? I hate snakes, so.

Go, mongoose. This mongo. How about that? Yes. I'm getting a mongo. Yes. That's like a little war green. That's our sales guy.

Wow. Well done, bud. Now, it's funny. We saw the Australian family that raised their daughter with two huge snakes as pets. I just wanted to get some, before we go any further, would you like some context as to why I knew I took the mongoes? Yeah, please do give us that. Well, back in the day, Ryan, do you know what funny cars are?

Yeah. So not NASCAR where we're turning left. Big back wheels, long, long, long, nose. That's right. And we're doing the quarter mile. We're getting her down. There was a driver named Don Prudon. One of the best to ever do it.

His nickname was the snake. Oh. Yeah. Another guy. And they had, they had battle. over the years. Tom McEwen was his name. He gave himself the nickname the Mungoose. Oh, dear.

So it was the snake and the mongoose who were in legendary battles for years. So he was going to take it, right? That's why I, because Tom Kuhn was the mongoose against Don Prudon. So the mongoose ended up winning more. I don't know if it works in funny cars so much. Pradol was really good. I do like that nickname. Like, oh, you caught yourself the mongoose.

Oh, yeah? Well, I'm the mongoose. There you go. God damn it. Ah. Wait a minute. What's nothing? Well, maybe we'll go to NASCAR, I guess.

You're expecting one of those. Will Ferrell's next movie. Funny car. Yeah, that actually would be. There you go. Let's stay with the gators. Someone in Florida got this photo, which is awesome. Love seeing people teaming up.

That's a raccoon riding the back of a gator in the national forest in Florida. That was also teamwork, is that what was on your shirt when you went to the? Oh, this is unbelievable. Now,

are they pals? Is the raccoon just sneaking a ride? Like, if I'm the gator, I'm just going straight under and I'm like, Raccoon,

you're lunch, buddy. Like, I'm going under, you're swimming, you're in my turf now. Or it's like, hey, bud, I'll just take you to the other side

there. See, taxi. Yeah, I know. Raccoons, right? do they, it's hard to hate them until they start tearing your shit up. Then you get mad at them. It's very hard to hate them in Alberta because we don't have them.

You go to Ontario, they fucking hate these goddamn things because they're lifting the lid off your garbage, making a scene. You know what you're, pain in the back here. You know what you're supposed to do with them? Or I don't know if that's what you're supposed to do to them. Uh-oh. This is not a very nice story. Would you like to hear it or not? I'll just, I'll just warn you.

It's not a very nice ending to this story. Does it incriminate anyone where there'll be criminal charges placed? It could, but the person is deceased. So I think it's, I think the statute of limitations is. Time heals all wounds, Dean. Yeah. Let's go.

Fire it up. I'll keep it broad. Someone that I know really doesn't slash didn't like raccoons. So he or she would trap them. Dean. And then weigh down the trap with the raccoon in it. Dean. And throw it in the pond.

You want to give yourself a shovel for that? They can be a nuisance. That's the wrong music. What? Wasn't there a Canadian show called the raccoons? Yes. With Cyril sneer. Yeah.

That's right. Yeah. He was no good. Still waiting for that shovel for yourself. It's a true story. I didn't do it. Yeah. I didn't like it.

I was like, oh, what? Kind of like that Christy gnome down here that wrote the book about shooting the dog. Yeah. You know who I thought of when I heard that. Turned out, that's not the best for publicity. Yeah, people oddly will side with the dog. Rapp. Rapp was at a big party in Buffalo last weekend.

A Buffalo is the Edmonton of America. I mean, they got to love longnecks, smokes, bowling. Like, this is, this is going to be unbelievable. It took you that long to it. This is the hot spot in town. This is Retro's bowlorama and things are getting a little heated with one of the gals here on the lane. Someone's running smack and what are missing spares. Oh.

Out. Well, but you know, Reload because I'm at the ammo station and you're not. And then back to. go square in the spine and then another one back the other way medicine ballwork at the old gym who funk yeah that's uh turn out the lights i'm glad you were a few lanes away rat that got heated who i never wanted to be on a battleship those cannons start going off yeah careful now that was you said that was a birthday is that right yeah because i think i know why that girl was in a bad mood

she had a sign on her car saying hey it's my birthday give me a honk let's see what happened Honk, it's my birthday? Now, it's got to be a bit, right? He was doing what he asked. I mean, it's my birthday? I kind of love it. It's incredibly abrasive. It's like something I would do in my younger years.

Oh, and then the Fruitopia took a ride. That's not good. It's a waste. It's okay. So if you ever see a honk sign, just give it a couple. Don't follow that person in their whole day honking, ruining their life. Yeah. Pinder.

relentless just now we had to say goodbye to Tim Nacky until he gets back on the straight and arrow here with the big bets but I've luckily found I think a new daily replacement this is an account on Instagram that I just love

and I'm not sure where in the world it is but it doesn't seem like the English on the account is strong it's probably a second or third language this is one of boomers pals it is a dog It's a black lab. Love black labs.

Sure do, yeah. And then every day, they just feed the black lab a different meal and we get to watch. So this looks like, oh, look some lovely eggs there, Dean, a pasta dish with some shrimp and broccoli. Let's have a go.

Get your veggies in, bud. Come on now. I'm not watching it. What are you talking about? He's eating shrimp here. Nothing not to see. This is way healthier than kibble, Dean. It's better than that.

snake yeah got a nice little handkerchief on a little bandana around the neck red good boy it's only one way this ends it's not tim knacky no it is not it is not okay so just i'm not getting behind the black lab eating on a daily here i get it's the pinder report but what yeah when you see that what's it what is the thought i'm sharing this with the guys for sure. Well, because we had the the lady in China that we eat all the crazy things like the rooster heads and the snake and I just thought this would be

easier for you, Dean, because I know your stomach's so soft if we showed a dog eating this food for whatever reason, you know, you'd feed your dog some food. You've lost your way. You've lost your edge. You've lost your way. This is Dorn the foodie. No, Dorn every day is fed a different meal.

Dorn can go to... And Dorn's a wildly popular account on Instagram. Dorn is lucky that Christy Gnome is not the owner. That's right. You've lost your fastball. That's what I'll say. You're right. You're still throwing.

You're still pitching, but you wait until I show you the ramen dish tomorrow. That's Dorn foodie. Coming up tomorrow on the Pinderup. We're going to sit here and watch a dog eat. Not waste my time with Dorn. Every day for the rest of my life. It can be your coffee break. Doorn the third baseman and Roger Dorn.

That's right. Yeah, Major League. Yeah. Ricky Vaughn slept with his wife. Yes. God damn it, Dorn None of that O'Leigh bullshit I don't have to do any calisthenics

That I deem unnecessary Someone knows that right Says it right here in my contract Look at this, he's got a Chakouterie dish here You're gonna have to have an intervention Something's going on at this guy's house What? About what?

Like, well I thought Dean you love dogs It's perfect It's not gonna gross you a dog That's absolutely a dog. Dogs do cool things. The people in the comments, I don't know what you're talking about.

No, the people are hating it. I love it. Look at the comments. It's great. People love this stuff. Yeah, they're loving it. That's your Pinder report, Dean.

We'll hear from Dorton tomorrow. Village Honda. Huge selection of used vehicles, all makes, all models, all budgets. With over 90 units on site access to more than 500 more inside the dealership group, It's why Village Honda is your one-stop automotive destination in Calgary. They're definitely worth the trip.

Village Honda located in the Northwest Auto Mall. I really wonder when we pitched the Pinder Report, Village Honda, what exactly our descriptor was. You can see there's this dog. So every day. They've eaten a different meal. Yes, five days a week. Every day, Ryan is going to do a recap on the world of sports and some other stuff that may or may not include. crocodiles wrestling, people jumping off roofs and hitting their head,

or dogs eating weird food out of a bowl. Where do I sign? Says Anthony from Village Honda. He's on vacation. That will be having a great vacation, Donnie. Dorn. I don't know how you recover from this now. At least I don't know.

It got a lot more traction than Jared Bednar's comments. Traction? Is that what you're calling? calling that this is traction that's what that is i think it's called disdain yeah okay that way no don't start no no no no now we that's what i'm talking about TM doran doesn't get dumb money bets that doesn't work i was talking about dumb money last night with uh you love this stuff i do i it's it makes me laugh. This is your new social media account.

Oh, I real Dino. Dumbmoney.com, yeah. Dumb money. Because my kid said, didn't you have a buddy that ate a whole McCain cake? I said, well, the deal is it, it wasn't so much the McCain cake. He was hungry and said he could eat a hole. And at that time, there was, the thing had a name from KFC. I could eat the whole, you know, bingo bucket. I'm starving. I could eat a whole bingo bucket right now, it's a year on. on. Let's go right now. Done. What? You're on. How about 100 bucks? You eat a whole bingo bucket. I'll pay for it. 100 bucks. And whatever the bingo bucket would like eight piece, eight piece fried chicken, fries, coalslaw, that sort of thing. But he didn't account for that the bingo bucket also came with a mackain cake at the time. And I think it was the mcane cake that took by. Yeah. So like, you know, you got to like you with your six boxes,

before you throw out these outlandish claims. That's a good catch by you, Dean. Six boxes. You want to make sure. You know what you're saying. So what are we cheering for now that we need Craig Barubi to really like fishing? That's what, okay, yeah. So we need Barrowie to take a girlfriend in Winnipeg, a wife, something like that.

It's kids playing Junior A for, I don't know. No, they move to Winachian. No, junior A. There's a whole league there. I'm Jay. But, yeah, we need it. Winnipeg. Winnipeg South.

Blues. A blues, good team. I don't know if they're still there. I did a, I did a, I did a play by play. Really? One night in Winnipeg doing the South Blues when Travis Zajak, either Zajak or Zajak's brother was on the team. I can't remember. It's a bunch.

Yeah. Which tells you. There's four boys to play Juniree. Freaken old. So we all kind of feel like the Boston, Florida series is. Now here's a question. Because it's been so lopsided, are we wanting Boston to pull one out here to extend the series

or for the, to keep Florida at its strongest. Rets got this year. Do you want them to just eliminate this? Get more rest, get healthy, and then be ready for the Rangers or the hurricanes. Two things. Florida just win because I need you to win a cup here.

second thing more and more importantly and i don't like doing this we had eight series in the first round and now we've got so that's we've got 12 series how many have been good well it turned out uh Vegas Dallas was very good Boston Toronto was very good we had another those are the two seven gamers uh Vancouver national was a little bit sleepy for our liking here oh my Pig was over quick. I'll walk it through and you guys can tell me what you... We had three good series. What your reviews were.

Yeah. Edmonton, Los Angeles. Not good enough. Not good at all. Vancouver in six over Nashville. Not good. Some storylines, but the games are boring. Colorado in five over Winnipeg.

Not good enough. Speedbag. Dallas in seven over Vegas. Yeah. Two O deficit of race. One for four. in the west. Carolina and five over the New York Islanders.

Islanders go away. Brutal. Rangers swept the caps. Brutal. Brutal. Seven games, Boston over Toronto. Love it. Florida and five over Tampa.

Not good enough. That was the one. We needed that to go six or seven. So two for three. No, no. Two for eight in round one. That's it? Yes.

One of each side. Austin, Toronto, and Vegas. Dallas. Now round two. Colorado Dallas. Not good enough. Maybe there's a twist here, but at this point, it looks over. Boston, Florida.

Not good enough. Rangers, hurricanes. I think we got a good one. Find out tonight. Oilers, Canucks. Amazing. There needs to be a wind by the Oilers, and we can't cheer for that. So we're like talking about three or four out of 12 series.

Yeah, it could be as high as four. Four. Because I don't see boss coming. And you know what? That's an anomaly because usually you get some bangers in round one. And especially the way this set up, because so much of the chalk, the power, you know, powerful teams advanced. There were no big Cinderella upsets that are going to let you down in round two. It was going to be the first year in ages.

We didn't have a wildcard team win. never mind like a three seed Colorado was a favorite in Vegas. That's not really an upset. Hmm. Toronto Boston was really good, like lots of drama. Yeah, there was the one game where Toronto was no good. Otherwise, it was all very. Well, and just the scar tissue, the back and forth, the two markets going back and for the injuries, the crazy, what the hell's going on here?

I'm not debating that there was. Yeah. We need more, though. You're at, right? Yeah. And so maybe that means we do want to. Boston went tonight. Or do you still need forward to they get that cut?

I won't get forward to always. If the Rangers and the Panthers get through, that will be an unbelievable series. We thought Boston, this would be. Only after Boston won game one. I think everyone thought that was a long series. The whole point,

all I was saying was that surprisingly there haven't been more. Yeah. What was it? Watch hockey. Three days into round two, Dino. We had like Pasternak fighting against, Kachuk, we had the crazy drama in Vancouver, like major comeback of three goals for the abs.

Like overtime win for the Rangers. Like a couple days into round two, we're like, this is the best shit we've ever seen. I'll say this. I, and again, I just, Dallas, Colorado, this was going to be a heavyweight fight. Yeah. And it hasn't been. Yeah. Yeah.

Colorado hasn't had a lead. Like, even series that has. have had gone deep have had games where they're not close. Do you know what I mean? Like six one five one last night. What? Yeah. No, I don't, well, I shouldn't say.

I was going to say I try not to make a habit out of asking questions where I immediately know what the answer is going to be. But as the, you know, sort of the kind of host of this show, sometimes I will ask questions knowing exactly what I'm going to get. If only to just kind of stir up some things. Yeah. With the, all of that. that in mind. And we know that I said at the start of the show, there's nothing like a villain

to get you invested. You may not love or like other teams, but it's like, I'd rather see so and so lose than them to win, that whole thing. Yep. The Oilers can save the playoffs if they make it to the Stanley Cup final. Oh, that's way too far. Gross. Think of the investment, Ryan Pinder, you will have if the oilers make it to the final. I disagree. I think the flop, get by Vancouver and get steamrolled by Dallas. That would be beautiful. Also, the other thing, like, I know this isn't what you're asking,

but it's something I keep in mind in this market. If Vancouver beats Evanton, conditional third. If Dallas gets to the cup final, conditional third. I know, but you need to be right. That's not the. I pretty dyed in the wool flames fan. care about a third instead of a whatever, that sort of thing.

Two thirds. What's the one game you're jacked up to watch tonight? Florida or Edmonton. Edmonton Vancouver. Canucks Oilers. All the drama, suspensions, change of goaltenders, two voracious hockey markets that hate each other with a great passion.

Now, Rhett, you say you disagree, but I do think you're incorrect. I think the longer, it's same as the Leafs. There's a little less zip when those guys are out, not because people love them, because people out here hated them. And it's the same with the Oilers. I'm not saying I want it to happen. But if you're looking for things that are going to raise your heart rate.

So you were all pumped up that the Oilers played Carolina in 06? Well, my buddy won the Con Smyth. That was a good thing, yeah. I don't know that he's your buddy as much as you think he's your buddy. Oh, he was my buddy. I haven't seen him in a while he invited me to his cup party I drank out of the Stanley Cup

haven't heard from him since have you that's a sore spot Dean that's a very sore spot is it what do you mean is it you saw him he was rattled in Vegas after retiring that he saw the cup

with Jonathan Taves who he'd ever really even played against the competing for the same colleague what do you mean is he rattled 25 years and two days ago right i'll never have that so stick it fat boy right that's right um and calvin pickard i didn't think that uh you know five years ago three years ago started the season that we'd be covering playoffs and be like man what's

Calvin Pickard going to do tonight. Well, I mean, Calvin Pickard, the name that we've had fun, old chatting Calvin Pickard, yeah, the spotlight is brightest on no other player tonight than Calvin Pickard. Sleeping Pickard, yeah.

Yeah, let's do our Betway bets. It's 31. What a time for his first NHL postseason start. Uh, Betway, you can get a free bet up to 200 bucks if your first bet bet loses. What a bunch of good people over at Betway. Create a new account. scan the QR code on the screen. You can redeem your bonus, place a bet, and if it loses, you'll get a refund of up to $200,

and you can then use that to bet on your favorite sports. The offer is only available outside of Ontario. I'm staying away from the aforementioned Oilers Canucks. I subscribe to the same theory. It feels like it's kind of over. Panthers, victories, they have three of them. They were by scores of 6-1, 6-2, and 3-2. Panthers by more than a goal and a half tonight pays plus 115.

And Carter Verhege, it just seems like he pops up. He's not at a great series. He's had one goal or one assist in the series so far, but had two game winning goals in round one. And he seems to pop up in these sorts of scenarios. And anytime goal for Verhegey plus 135 and hat tip to Jack for getting Verhegey correct. That's not easy. Yeah.

Probably AI, though. It's probably AI. Yeah, probably. So there you go. That's what I'm going with. I also like Florida minus one and a half. You'll see that at the bottom, Dino. That's a plus 115.

Is that the kiss of death? Are we both on it? We'll see. And then Zach Hyman with two plus points. A lot of value in the old McJay dry-sidal points thing. I don't dislike Vancouver, but I do think that the oilers get right at least in some senses tonight. Plus 160 for a 2.9. for a guy that, you know,

it's liable to have one or two banked in off him by David. There is, just looking at Betway, there is big belief that this is the Oilers and Panthers tonight. Minus 225 for the Panthers,

minus 210 for Edmonton. Those are heavy favorites for playoff v. Playoff team. Yeah. Even to go regulation, it's, a lot there. Well, and I jumped on the oilers yesterday on the news of the

Susie hearing. I'll see how much it's moved. But it's safe to say there's, yeah, lots of money coming in on the Edmonton side. So there you go. There you go. Tomorrow we'll have Jamie McLennan join us for a Chet,

or sorry, Calvin Pickard update. Oh, I have lots to say there. He will for sure have lots to say on that. Yeah, and again, I just, are you not, are you not looking for, would you not be more looking forward to the show tomorrow based on what happens with the stupid Oilers tonight? You know, if it was San Jose and whoever else, oh yeah, we'll talk about game four, I guess tomorrow.

That's what we'll do on the show. Yeah, but I want them to blow up in their face. You're asking them to move on. Yeah. No, listen, I didn't. say that. I'm just, I'm throwing it out there. Would there not be more as someone who isn't a fan of one of the remaining teams. I just think there's nothing that would elicit more raw emotion than cheering against someone that you hate as much as you do the Oilers. It's almost as good as having

your team in there. Better someone suggests. Well, maybe, but okay. We've got a great series here. This is, uh, this is, uh, I think the instant classic. Like there's certain series you'll think back and remember to. I think of those LA Chicago series when they clashed. You could think of like Calgary, Edmonton, Battle of Alberta stuff. Like there's just certain series that are going to hang with you.

This is one. And I think it's only the third time that Connexon Oilers have ever met in the playoffs. Like this is this is one we won't forget. And of course on the show tomorrow, Dorn the Dog will do something. We'll see. Apparently. You talk about.

betting Betway won't even have they won't even post the odds on whether or not there's going to be Adorn the dog video on the Pender Let's see what the latest is. I was getting all heavy. They had to go all veggie for a few weeks there.

All right. Ready? Are we good? All in? All good? All done? No more. See you, buddies.

Sorry.
