Square pig, what are you trying to do here?
Like, don't quit lying to us.
Because again, it's another, people watching Flames fans,
Flames fans who you're trying to keep loyal and spending their money and support you,
watched that game last night.
Yeah.
They watched the last three.
Yeah, they watched, specifically the last night.
They watched last night and they said,
huh, there's a team that actually went to the finals not that long ago.
That's whatever.
It was stupid cool.
so it's completely different, but
have struggled somewhat, not,
it hasn't been sabers,
decades of languishing.
And holy F, are they talented and good?
So can I ask you a follow up on the haves?
Who do you want to support?
Like, did they look in the mirror and lie to themselves
about what they were?
Or were they honest about we need to rebuild?
100%.
And again, shut the stupid comments.
and if you're childishness that you're not allowed to say rebuild.
I don't give a, like, so stupid.
What do you fucking talk about?
The re-biggle.
Just fucking make them good.
Make re-bigel shirts and sell them.
And I guarantee you they'd sell out tomorrow.
Jack, make us a re-biggles shirt.
I'm not joking and I'm not talking about us.
I'm talking about the flames.
Trade Anderson today.
Trade someone else today.
Make re-bigel shirts and they will sell out.
I've said this before.
And again, I,
I feel like there is this sense of pride and nobility by,
we don't say the word,
we have culture,
we have this and that.
It's like that is so antiquated and old,
I don't know if it ever worked.
It certainly doesn't work now.
It's,
you've missed the playoffs for three straight news.
It's ill-advised.
It's just,
Montreal is a very good example.
To your point.
President, general manager,
come together.
okay we're not there i think
did they send a letter
it's like look i actually i don't even know what
it was going to say but i don't know if they did
no but it's just it was obvious
they were in the letter like they started taking on bad
contracts with picks they started selling veterans
and they continued to draft a lot in the first round
high and they're not bottomed out you know they're not
there i'm not picking them to win the cup this year
but i like the path they're on you don't think you'd like to go down to the
saddle dome and that new building and watch a group of young kids
like that holy
I like watching
Hubert. He's
re-adjusting his game. He's
tight near checking. And the thing
of it is, did we watch
Montreal last night? Yeah, but it's not
decency bias. There are so many
teams that have done it and are doing it.
We talk it all
the time to the point I
Yeah, to the point we get
annoyed, then I get grumpy about it because it seems
so idiotic. Now, No, noodles comes on yesterday's
like, I trust the con.
Then just, that don't
come on and tell us that we're idiots for thinking
about fantasy hockey.
And that was my comment to noodles. It's like,
they can be okay with not wanting that messaging
publicly, but don't let your president go.
I actually don't think they should. I think you should.
So when a politician bullshits
to your face, you're like, geez, that doesn't
sound truthful to me. That's kind of
because what you do and you don't fix
the fucking water pipe, you idiots.
And now the water pipe explodes.
But, oh, we were on top.
Were you? Anyway,
Just be honest and say, guess what?
We're going to go and we're going to get the best players we can
and the youngest best players we can
and we're going to start building it out.
It's going to be fun and exciting and fast and passionate
and you're going to love it.
I got great news.
Absolutely.
They are the third from the bottom.
This is not a mucky metal season, fellas.
It doesn't matter.
It's how they act because it's like.
You can see how bad this should be if they were in ninth, right?
That was my whole thing, this whole way,
If they somehow find a way to be there, they're going to continue to do what they're,
well, we would not, can't sell.
Don't want, oh, geez, better not get got to wait, maybe add.
Yeah, the hope is, sorry.
But the hope is, which is why we got excited, I guess, is the word from the start.
It's like you took away the keys from that way of thinking, that mindset from them.
That's the only way they were going to.
The only way you can do it is if you are so far out of a playoff spot that you can't,
You can't be delusional in thinking you're a good team and a playoff.
And that's why I watch eight minutes of Strombron's frustrating yourself.
Because he's had a really nice age.
You'll see what the kid can do.
It's frustrating.
This is the eight minutes of Stromgren.
It's the fact that Jonathan Hubert is in the lineup.
That's what's frustrating.
And you're telling me that he's great.
One guy that's going to be a part of the future and one guy that's part of the problem
and you're playing the problem about the future.
