Hi, everyone. Welcome once again to this celebration of the sport of hockey on the ice service, the ice hockey celebration podcast. Here it is Barnburner, it's Boomer, it's Warner, it's Ryan Pinder on a Wednesday in the late stages of the month of March, Easter weekend, nearly upon us. Is it ham? Is that what you do at Easter? Do we ham it up? can you turkey i don't know what the rules are i'm a lamb guy myself the ham is always there

but i don't look forward to the ham i look forward to the lamb that's a bang right there not sure about the lamb what what never required a taste for the lamb it's not my thing oh sorry guys i gotta tell you i think you're eating shitty lamb if this is an issue i'm just going to be up front with you i'm not gonna you know i'm not going to try and BS you about this. It's just not a lamb guy. I think you've, where'd you have your lamb?

I don't remember so long ago. Exactly. So you had shitty lamb when you were a teenage kid. They told you it was lamb. It was actually rabbit. And now you don't like lamb. This is like drinking tequila 15 years ago. I like, ah, I hate tequila. Yeah, because it wasn't real tequila. It was harsh shit. Now we finally have

good tequila. You got to get back into the lamb game, Dean. It's going to make you Rostines. lamb skewers. Beautiful. Just salt over the grill. Baby. Pick your teeth of the stick after.

No, no, it's all good. It's all good. Honest. You know what? You're the most frustrated. I can see why people in your house they go on vacation because you're a very frustrating human.

I can see why bear is a dick. Yeah. Oh. You won't try the laugh. You think bears lashing out against Boomer? I think that it's the, it's the harsh stance that Big Dean

Boom Boom has and it's putting people off in the house. He's not very open-minded about lamb. He's not letting him steal chew toys. He loves lamb. Maybe that's what it is. Yes. He's like this a-hole. It's just the same food all the time. When's the

lamb coming, Big Gull. He's got to eat chicken? Yeah. Enough goddamn chicken. I want some lamb, buddy. You and bear. It started so well. When did this sour? This feels like a recent development, you and Bear.

Have you talked to anyone about this? Are you seeing some sort of a counselor? You and Bear? No, we're just powering through. We're just pushing it all down like everything else in my life. Just ram it down and pretend it's not happening. Ram it down. And then every once in a while there'll be a big outburst with Bear.

Yeah, yeah. Then I leave for a few days and I come back and, okay, how's everyone doing? We'll just pretend nothing happened. Everything's good. Everything's fresh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll tell you what, one of the, One of the best parts about doing after burner and then Barnburner the next day is you get to double up.

You really get so good talking about certain games. And last night, I don't know, we went an hour or so on after burner. And I got home, it's like, geez, I got so much more to say. There's so much that I really want to get into. So thank goodness, we're here again today to really peel back the layers on this three, one loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. Is that what it was? Well, there's certain games every year, Dean,

that require just a little more. Yeah. Yeah. I was just happy to dive in after the outdoor game because we did the shows that led up to it, all the hoopla, we did a live stream, then we did after burn. Then we came in the next day and did a real show.

We talked about it again. Some of these games need a lot, but between the outdoor game and last night, not a ton of compliments to hand out. I'll say this. I feel like I'm getting labeled as a bit of a malcontent but I'll say this.

The Sabres Flames game was blacked out for you in Buffalo, Red. I hope last night's game was also blacked out. It wasn't officially blacked out, but I can be quite honest with you. I've got a Panther fan in the house. That game turned on. I'm not switching channels.

That game was awesome, by the way. That game was phenomenal. And I was going to swear and I don't want to swear. Phenomenal. I saw most of the first half of it, and then we had to switch over to the scintillating six loss, and they lost seven against the hawks for the flames. But at that point,

Boston was getting bullied. Florida was pushing them around. It was good stuff, physical. Great game, right, till the end. Boston comes back, and I would not say they did anything special to pull out the victory, but rather that the Panthers kind of, you may have peed their pants a little bit, the kind of a little out down the leg. And it's, yeah.

A question for you, right? Yeah. Was it a banger? 100% banger, right? Banger. Total banger. And I did notice in the intermission that this Detroit, Washington game was at 1-1. And, oh, hey, we said.

Had to kind of convince you yesterday. It was one other game. game that I had on as well. Rangers Philly. Yes. And question for you. Bangor. Was it? I thought it would be a banger. And it was. And it was.

Yeah. Two nothing lead. Flyers. Out shooting. I think 2612 were the shots at one point. Flyers in control. And then look out here come the Rangers. And then it gets the O.T. A soft goal. A little bit. A shot. But should have been stopped. But overtime at Madison. square gad. Overtime

for the wings and the caps. Oetee for the oilers time for the Oilers and jets. I did catch that as well. A question, Rhett? Banger. Banger. Total banger. Total banger. We're three weeks away from playoffs. There were at least six or seven games

that were absolute studs, bangers, however you want to refer to it. And then there were a couple. Not so banging. Yeah. What would you call a non-banger? Is that a hard pass? Is that we're calling that one?

Yeah, it's just a... Yeah. There were a few hard passes last night. Seattle got up 4-0 on Anaheim right quick. That would have been a hard pass. Flameshawks, hard pass. Yeah. The Arizona game turned out to be good,

but I had fears because it was Columbus. But good thing they called up Don's kid. That saved it. awesome for don't's kid what a guy that's great that's not a banger game come on oh you know what we forget in nashville Vegas three national Vegas fair yes oh my god Vegas look at the Vegas is going to roll into Nashville and just totally oh so you guys haven't lost since when February here's a loss take that uh-uh no no sirree bob no uh-uh uh-uh bucko Not in Music City, Bucco.

So lots of bangers. Just none of them involving the team that we, for some reason, cover on a failure. They've had a lot of bangers. You're going to have a hard pass every once in a while. Was the Buffalo game a banger? I think the problem, Dean, just to help pender out with his weak argument. The Flames Blackhawks game might have been a banger. if there were no other games that night.

No, that was a hard pass. So it's kind of like, depending on how many hot girls are at the bar, it affects how hot specific people may or may not be. So I never saw this show, but I heard there was a reality TV show called like average Joe or something, and they get all these rockets that are like filling out applications to be on reality TV shows,

and they ram them on set and make them do all this dumb reality TV shit. And it's just some, Shleb, some dude. It's not like a good looking dude. He's not particularly handsome or wealthy or interesting. But it's just the competition and the lack of supply of bangers that maybe turns a hard pass into a bangor, right? Yeah.

It's kind of what I'm getting at. Did anyone see that show, by the way, average show? I think. I know. I don't know how to turn it on. Fourth straight loss for the flames, they have lost seven of their last nine. Oh, did they lose?

Yeah. Oh. Yeah. we can't sit here acting we're surprised we kind of saw this I'm not surprised or disappointed no it's fine it is what it is there's three weeks it's going to be a little bit miserable the rest of the season's

been rather enjoyable old long hair over there giddy last night oh man with the out of town scoreboard and the inverse standings and that whole thing he had all four colors of pen going last night

black and blue and red and then the green came out arts and crafts arts and crafts at the gregal the green is the interstandings that pen had a night can i ask you a question actually i noticed a lot for some reason i don't know why i picked up on it yeah in a lot of these games they'd they'd have the the benches in the shots after whistles and stuff yeah and these coaches right shit down like yeah did you just watch the fucking play They got all kinds of stuff going on. They got the tablets. Like you've got video coaches and you've got guys a breakdown and then you've got AI that does a lot of the video stuff.

Yet you still feel the need to look important. Or even if you have like a voice memo or something. 62 was straight shit on that play. Whatever me ran off. No good. Tell Conroy. Whatever his name is the guy on our team. you signed Hubert O before he played a game for the team,

you signed Miramanov to an extension before he played both O for two. Oh, are we souring on Miro? Not souring. It was never sweet. I was taught this early in life. When people expect nothing, you never disappoint them. That's kind of where we should be with Miro. That's where I am with Miro and the team, to be honest.

Yeah, so not sour. just no i know you had to use a name in your little microphone example but yeah yeah mirror what are they writing down like i know that you're a avid artist like what are these idiots well typically they uh they'd like to sketch out the faces of the referees kind of like when you go to court they have the people that draw because you're not allowed cameras and then they'll show it and be like this motherfucker he's christ tonight holy wow an effort another thing i did notice is that the refs sucked last night did they? Which games? In the limited viewing?

There were various games with various penalty calls. Right. With just you were wrong, Mr. referee. Yeah, the Boston broadcast was apoplectic on one of the slashing calls. But Boston was losing and brick. I'm not lying into any Jack Edwards.

I'm actually watching and going, yeah, that was not that man's stick. No. Yeah. All right. Now, you know what? We've stumbled out of the gates here. We got talking about lamb and then we got talking about like all of this sort of thing. We need to do our opening statements from a cloud law, but we have to now pause on that because our regular Wednesday guest is ready to roll.

Should I just jump in whenever he wants? It's look. Yes. Is the straight answer to that? Yes. I on my screen, I see it'll go boop. A thing pops up. It's like, oh, they're ready to roll.

I was you in Evanston? Can I ask you a question that's not hockey related? Yes. What's up? Are you a tragically hip fan? I mean, yes, I have a couple crazy hip stories, if you want. I mean, oh, no. Well, I like them.

I'm a fan of the band, but I'm not like a radical. Like, I'm not a guy. I like the band, love them, respect them. And then when Gord got sick, they went on the goodbye tour. I flew to Calgary. That was one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. Really? I have, you guys know, I'm like the Forrest Gump of the World. For some reason, I'm always in the background of like the weirdest things.

My friend who is ultra wealthy and from Toronto or lives in Toronto, lived in Toronto. He has a $50 million house in Miami now. Do you know? No, it's not definitely. So I'm in Toronto years ago and I get a phone call from him saying, hey, my partner has a house on what's called the bridal path, which is like where Drake lives and the wealth. area in Toronto. Okay. They have a block party every year.

Why didn't you come? And so that day, I'm kind of hanging out, having a beer or whatever. And he's like, come on over right now. Steve Ayoki is in the backyard. And we're just having a private party. He's like throwing cakes around doing, you know, and I'm not, yeah, he's doing his thing. Like, okay, well, I'll be there.

I end up not making it. I just make the tail end. Okay. And he goes, okay, well, you know, we're going to have dinner and stuff, and then the band's going to go on around 8 o'clock. And I'm like, okay, who's playing? I'm thinking, you know, house band or whatever.

It was the hip. They had the hip played in front of 800 people. And, you know, you go into the backyard, obviously this palatial estate's, like, ridiculous house, $100 million house, whatever it was. And I go around the corner and, you know, the band is there. Like, they're just chilling.

Like, getting their instruments organized. And it's weird. I've met Gord a few times because he's a goalie, too. That's the other thing. He was a goalie. So the loneliest end of the rink. Yeah. So we BS a little bit.

It was one of the greatest shows I've ever been to as far as just, you know, I've got buddies who are in the music business and that. So you're side stage, backstage. I just like stood there eight feet from the band drinking while they were playing. And it was ridiculous. So that endeared. me even more to the band. So it was amazing. But yes, getting back, that's a long answer to a short question. Yes, I'm a fan of the hip, but they aren't like my number one band, but I certainly

love them. Well, you've screwed up the second half of the question because of the life you live and the person you are for us. Like I was, there's a band down here. They've actually played at my wedding. And they're called the strict, the strictly hip. And they do hip cover. And I was going to say, because you don't travel very much if you wanted to come down and watch the strictly hip with me. I will do that in a heartbeat because I love cover bands. You guys know that. What was it? Morgan's Pub Tuesday nights.

What was that? Broken toys. Broken toys. Broken toys. They played Robin's wedding. Those guys were awesome. I only went once. It's one of the greatest stories of my life.

Yeah. I mean, you know, Morgan's got a little gritty near the end. I think Brad had to sell because he got shot or something like that. Like, all hell was breaking loose. but you know what? Like I love cover bands and especially the guys who play in them because they've got they've got skin in the game. They love it.

So yes, I will 100% drive to Buffalo and we'll make a night of it. You buy the P.F. Chang's, I will buy the booze. I'm paying for all of it because you're a good chap. The other thing, again, because you don't travel much,

I'm thinking about driving over to Springfield and I was going to bug Conroy over there if you want to hop in. I got room for it. Springfield, We're like, mass. Oh, mass. Okay. Yeah. Done. I mean, we need a little road tour. Let's rent an RV.

We'll do a little, uh, get a driver to a road tour. Exactly. I'm not driving it. We were just smiled for the second time this week. Did you see that? He's in. He's totally in. Yeah. I can dig that. Because I've heard you guys, there's some RV stories and old women getting tackled and stuff like that. Oh, nice. Yeah, that's, it's not good. That's when he had the bus rentals and, yeah,

those people won't even pick up my calls anymore. Like I would lose every venue that I rented back in the day, I would lose my damage deposit. And I would feel bad because the damage deposit back then would be like $200. And it's not even, yeah, it's not even good. Or whirlwind goes through. Exactly, exactly.

So no, definitely we'll have some sort of a pub crawl slash, you know, city crawl. We'll do it. Well, I wondered if you were going to be, because Ottawa Buffalo tonight, correct? I wondered if you were going to be calling up your old buddy retro while you were in town if you were going to be in town. I'm not in town because Wednesday night hockey is sports net.

Those assholes. Thursday, so that we have the property tomorrow. I'm actually not calling the game. I'm on the panel. So I'm part of the broadcast, but not calling it. I'm on the panel tomorrow night. So I will be on Sports Center talking about the Ottawa Buffalo game tonight. but as you know the machine never stops you either work in studio or work on site so i will be doing that

well tune in early for the sabers pregame because you're on there yours truly just remember the name of the podcast hey bud put it like right on your yeah exactly i'll wear it on your shirt or some wear that yeah wear the leather coat and put a patch on the back you know oh yeah put the barn burner logo on the back. Make it like a like a motorcycle jacket. Like it's burned in. Yeah, exactly. I love it. Remember when those boxers used to get those like temporary tattoos of like gambling websites on their forehead back in the 90s? We need to do that with Wrette when he does national broadcasts. Barn, Barn, Barner, our podcast.

Well, we've had him on a few times. The second time we made sure to announce it about 10 times because he forgets to bring it up. So on after hours the host did the same thing. Yeah. He was trying to take credit for that way. Like, no, no, no. They knew you'd forget and they mentioned it and asked it. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. Scott Oak, you're like, hey, can you please at least give him a shout-up? Because like you say, Jamie, the machine never stops. Never stops. It never stops for sure. We were talking about last night's schedule.

Yesterday we were laying it out. It's like, there's a banger. There's a banger. We knew the flames and hawks were not going to be a banger. But there were some beauties last night. We had, what, overtime in three or four different spots in Florida, Boston. Both teams felt like they were winning that game at some point. They were getting after it. Marshan's fighting the tallest guy in the other team. It had just a little bit of everything. I could take Best of seven out of these two.

Oh, my God, it can, yes. Best of 14, whatever they want to do, I'd be in. They were playing for keeps last night, you know, and I loved it. You know, that is playoff hockey where both are sitting there going, okay, we want that first overall or first in the division. Yeah. Because we don't, you know, we don't, I mean, I don't know if they want the Leafs in the first round either. And the Leafs are a pretty good team.

But I would say that those teams, I look at Florida and Boston kind of just slightly above the Leafs, just based on their pedigree, the way they compete. But, you know, the Leafs are a very good team too. And I think they're trying to, those two teams, there's no love loss, obviously, because of the history of, you know, going back the last year. But they're also jockeying for position going, hey, if we get first, there's a chance, you know, I don't know who they would be. get. I mean, Washington, Detroit type, hopefully not Tampa, maybe Philly if they slide.

Like, you'd rather face those things than the Leafs, right? Agreed. A hundred percent. I think it is. And again, I always come back to it. Careful what you wish for, because as we see all the time, you know, Toronto fans were cheering, we want Florida. We want Florida. When, you know, when Florida beat Boston, we saw how that unfolded. So I always go back to careful what you wish for. So, you know, it's, to me, I think those two teams are chopped here. But like, think about it, guys, there's realistically, I don't know how

you guys feel, there's a 10 pack of teams, maybe 12, that you can make an argument to go, that team could go deep and win a Stanley Cup. Yep. 100%. And which is, I mean, that's what Gary wants, with the league wants, is parody, it's there. The parody's there.

Winnipeg loses four in a row. They got a loser point last night. All of a sudden, they're chasing. They, at a week ago, they were, They were up for the President's trophy. They were up for, you know, first in the conference, first in the division. Now they're three points behind. That's how tight things are in a bad week and put you in a tough spot.

Yeah, they're an eighth now. That's wild. Was it yesterday where it was the one point separating? Seven teams. Seven teams from first? One point. Like that's nuts. Absolutely insane.

It's good for the league if you just like hockey. If you're a hockey fan and you go, hey, this is great. I think there's individual cities and people that love. or individual organizations going, this stinks because, you know, you're wanting your team that's had a great season at 97, 98 points, and you're sixth in the league instead of first.

And the Rangers broke the 100 plateau last night, I believe, wasn't it? They're at 100, right? Yeah, first team to get the X. Yeah. So it's exciting. I think it's great. We're going to see some great hockey here

at the last 10 games where there's some teams that aren't going to be able to be afforded the luxury of taking their foot off the gas or maybe resting some players if they believe in jockeying for position. Yeah, there's not many teams that don't have anything to play for if they're heading into the playoffs. Most of them are still fighting for a one seed or home ice or to get out of a wild card into a three. Like this is pretty good stuff. We've had seasons where it's just like to your point, rest guys, you know, we'll wake ourselves up with some coffee before the playoffs. This thing's put to bed. What do you make in Nashville? I wouldn't have put them in

that group, but now it's the longest undefeated streak of the season. I've, I mean, them coming back, because I'll be honest, I had, they weren't on my bingo card last night. They were kind of, hey, I'm going to have a side eye on that one because there was just so much. You mentioned Boston, Florida. You know, I was watching the Leaf game. I was watching the Edmonton, Winnipeg game at the Calgary, Chicago. Luckily enough, I've got enough TVs at the house here where I've got it all set up and you can, you can, you know, you. You can watch. Humble brag.

It is a humble brag. But it's our business, boys. That's what you've got to do. You've got to be equipped. Somewhere in there, there's a write-off. I don't know how, but. Yeah, I have to booze. That's my own.

But, no, honestly, so I was side-eyeing and going, okay, Vegas is going to end their streak because it was 4-1 or something. 3-0 and then 4-1. I blink, and I'm like, what the hell happened there? So, Nashville has to be taken seriously, even though everyone looks at them and goes on paper, okay, they got a goalie and they got a defenseman and they got a bunch of really good players

that kind of work hard together and a coach that we all like. They remind me of the flames that you're guys, a squad no four in a sense. I'm laughing because they're 10th in the league and points and we're going, well, maybe we should pay attention to them.

Yeah, and they took 18 games in a row, they got a great goaltender, a really good G. But you're right, Rhett. But a month and a half ago, we're talking about is UC Saros going to block a Markstrom trade because he might be available. You know, we're talking about they cleared people out. Trennan gets traded.

You know, like you're moving players out and Barry Trots is going, okay, I'm not sure what I'm doing here. And then all of a sudden the galvanizing, hey, you know, you're not going out in Vegas, like to hell with you with you too. And they've rattled off 18 in a row now. where I think you look at last year, remember the Florida Panthers were, you know,

stumbling along. And then it was Keith Kachuk, I believe on an Ottawa radio station that called them soft. Yeah. And the team just took off after that. Like there are moments where you're like, okay, something that galvanizes a team, the U-2 thing of Vegas, you know, night out might have galvanized that group

to screw you, you know, we're doing this. Something has brought that group together. Because I was kind of in the middle of it. I did Ottawa, Nashville, February 26th, just before I came in for the Kippers thing. And they won that game, but just watching them, they had the goaltender, they have D that moved the puck,

and they have four lines that to compete and check and work hard, and they've got some skills. So I wouldn't sleep on them, but they are, they're still for me on paper, just slightly below some of the others that we've spoken about. My concern for them was they being so hot. How do you,

you don't win 40 in a row. Right. Start losing now, we're at. Yeah, the season doesn't end next week. There's, there's a lot to go.

They can realize. Everyone's opinion on Vegas. Now, everyone's like, well, they're waiting. They're just got to get into playoffs, and then they'll get healthy,

and then they'll get good. I don't see it that way. I think this is a team that's made a million moves, and they aren't as sure of themselves, and they've got players instead of a team nowadays. And I think they're stumbling. Can they resurrect it? Sure.

They've got 10 games before it even ends. But that to me is a team or there's feel that way. Maybe I'm an idiot. No, I don't think you're wrong because you look at teams. I think it's hard in this league to just show up and turn it on. Like there are special players that can just, hey, I'm a great player. give me three days of practice and I'm back. But that's not everybody.

That's outliers. That's, you know, special, special players. So, you know, there's Thomas Hurdle all of a sudden going to go, yeah, I'm ready to go and I'm going to be at playoff speed immediately. You know, Mark Stone, guys like that. And I think Mark Stone's a special player in the way he plays. He will be able to adapt immediately. We've seen it before, right? You're right.

But Hurdle hasn't played a minute with these guys. So if they throw him on the power play, as we all know, it's habits. It's running routes. It's don't think, just react because I know that guy's going to be there on the back door. He's never played with these guys. So unless he's got some sort of virtual thing where, you know, he's doing things, you know, sensory arena. I think that that thing is where you put over the face. So like that type of stuff, it still takes chemistry and timing.

You know, but I will say this. As much as I want to count Vegas out, I can't because they're Vegas. And all they've done for six years is just bully their way through and change the narrative of everything we think about them. And, you know, so I'm not going to sleep on them and go, that may not be their year. It might not be their year this year. But I still think there's a chance just based on the way that team conducts their business. You know, they've had amazing coaches. You're fired, moving on.

You know, like, which is insane. Like it just, but it's, it's, it's almost like George McPhee and this says, it doesn't matter. Kelly McCriman and him go, we're moving to the next player, next player. Riley Smith, love you. Thanks for your business. Out you go. Pittsburgh, where you go.

Like it just stuff like that, you don't see that type of like cutthroat in other organizations. Well, and it's March or so that comes up this summer, And that's with hurdles money coming in and a healthy stone theoretically, there's a thought that, you know, that might be the next guy cut on the ruthless list. It was Schmidt. It was Mark Andre Fleury. Now it's this guy. It was, you know, patchy're ready.

Like they are ruthless. And that's actually kind of just being efficient and not letting emotions get involved, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, I've said this before. You have to be a sociopath to be a great manager, I think, in pro sports. Because you can't allow the emotion get tied to it. We've seen so many mistakes with emotion tied to it. it because you that guy won me something that guy you know I'm close with the family you know he just

had a kid can't do that to the this but if you just look at it from a pure business standpoint they've gotten in front of some of the things the mistakes that other teams make where you're like okay I know I'm going to resign this guy to a seven year deal or a six year deal or eight year deal and yeah we're going to have to chew on the last three years of the contract but that won't be our problem. Well, that does hand down to the next generation a problem. Vegas never, they didn't have the contracts to start off with so they haven't inherited any bad contracts. Everything they've done, they've created. Yeah. I do wonder, because it's, it has worked great for them, but I do wonder if it's a little bit of buying all your stuff with credit cards,

because they have, they've mortgaged the future and it's been great so far, but all it might take is one thing to kind of slip. And yeah, I guess if Mark Stone can, can't play, then, you know, he retires, you get that money back. Hurtle is 30 and what he's got how many years left, five or six on that deal? Four more. Yeah, three more. The end of the 2930 season. More than that.

Jesus. And good player, but he's never been up for the scoring race or the, you know what I mean? It's at some point, I do wonder, though, if the run ends and where you needed some high end talent like the Suzuki's and maybe some guys that you, or that you, or that you, would have drafted because we know where their pick the 2026 pick belongs to the flames the 25 pick right is is gone or they have anyway i just wonder you they've been chasing it and it's admirable for sure but i wonder if there's some hard times coming i would at least one cup i would i would say yes but you know if you are a diehard hockey fan they don't have to make

excuses for the lean times coming they won their stanley cup and they did it you know in their sixth year. But there is lean times coming. The one thing I would say to help maybe make it less lean is they are not shy to spend money. So if they worked on a tight budget, that's when you're like, okay, we got, we're going to have to chew on this guy's deal for the next couple years and let it run out where Bill Foley goes, we'll pay that, we'll pay to make this go away.

A lot like, you know, the Toronto Maple Leafs flex their financial muscle where, they created, you know, we joke around in Toronto, Robid up Island, right? So, oh, this guy, you know, Jared Cowan gets traded to Toronto, 4.2 million. Mike Babcock, hip tightness, I think he has. This guy just disappeared.

I don't know, the hockey news can't find him right now. I don't know where he is. Like, it's just disappeared. Like, and he was a, not an old guy. I think he was mid-20s, 27 and 28. Like, so I look at it. If you're willing to spend and be

creative, it might soften the blow of just a traditional, hey, we're in a rebuild and we're on a tight budget. So we can't make player X go away. We just have to outweigh that. I feel like Vegas would get creative and go, we're making, you know, this guy's going to disappear. We're going to pay him to go away type of thing. So that would be the only thing that I would think it make it less lean. They also get the benefit of guys going there for less. Right. their cumbersome contracts, though they may not have any at this point or whenever they arise, there's still less than other teams cumbersome contracts.

Yeah, they've been smart. They, well, it's not just smart. The guys go there for less because of the taxes. Well, they kind of outbid everyone for Petrangelo, though, didn't they? It just happens to also be a nice tax spot. Like, what did Petro get? Is he at 8.8. And at that time was a lot of money.

It wasn't Dowdy Carlson money, but he wasn't quite in that class. And he's now 30. 34. And even a hurdle trade, I think San Jose is keeping 17% of that. Yeah, it goes down from 8 to 6.4 or whatever. Yeah, I don't think they have to overpay to get anyone. I agree with that. Yeah. And they'll get old soon. Like nobody stays a contender forever. Like when Stone is old and Ikel's old and Petrangelo's old, they don't have young 20s coming, but it's hell of fun

here, right? If they've refamped the whole equation, or I don't even know what the terms, the right term is. If they're looking at it differently from the start, they may approach it differently. Like you said, they might make preemptive moves to never get to that point. Right. Like it just feels, and I mean, we're blown smoke up their ass because they've been so good and it's where everybody's jealous of how they've done things.

But they might have a totally different game plan. We always say chess or checkers. they might be playing what's that other game backer act like right like they might be playing a whole another game and where everyone else is just like what hell's going on over there like we don't even know they you're right they might they might have a reset where it's like we know this is coming so we might move a top tier play like jack icel's all of a sudden available because we are going to you know we're going to spin him into assets and and take his 10 million and use it on three players at three and a half type of thing.

Like, you're right, there are creative ways, but, you know, father time is undefeated. So Pinder, you, like, eventually you're looking at Petrangelo going, you know, the legs of the wheels of falling on. 30s, he was like, stone can barely get around. But they, that's where I come back to. It's like, okay, creative, how are we making these players go away? Because I, again, I'm in Toronto.

Matt Murray is all of a sudden on the ice skating the other day. I'm like, where the hell did this guy? come from. You know, like, coming back from the dead. Right. Like that's, so, you know, how are they going to deal with that? Well, that's another player they've been paying. If you look at cat friendly, I think the Toronto Maple Leafs

are paying like $100 million in salaries. Yeah. Just lots LTAR guys. Like, Matt, factor in Klinberg too, right? Like, there's a lot of guys. They just pay it to go away that aren't healthy. It is what it is. But you're allowed to do that within the CBA. I know people yell and scream about Vegas and

you know, some of the other teams that have, you know, we'll call it cheated the system. Well, you don't like it, change the system. They're playing by the rules. Yeah. So I think I figured it out. Because it's like, how do you invent a rebuild or a reload that we've never seen before? And everyone has to play by the same rules.

There's only one tool in the kit that no one's used. You know what Vegas to do that would fit them personally? When they get old, they'll go an offer sheet a 20-year-old stud that someone can't afford. Like, they'll finally use the tool and all the other games, like, oh, I'm like, guys, it's been there forever. you could use the offer sheet too. I'm telling you their draft picks, though, is the only thing. That's true.

It is true. But last summer on free agency, I was sitting on the panel with Gino Reda and Marty B.er on. And I was shocked. We were talking about free agent goal tenders. And I said, why the hell is nobody off-sheeting Jeremy Swayman? Because what that would have done and got you a potential number one goalie, because I think Swayman is more a one

than kind of a one A, one B type of thing. 25 years old. And that would have jam the Boston Bruins up so badly. Totally. From a cap structure. So that would have potentially broken that tandem up immediately. Or if he signs it, then all of a sudden they may not be able to do

some of the things that they were able to do to fill out that team. But that is a tool that I believe in. That is kind of like, it's like the code and I get it. you know, but if you aren't going to head down that direction, you're not using all the tools to your disposal if you're a manager. And, you know, not everybody falls into that because the player still has to sign it.

The player still has to want to sign an offer sheet. But if the number's big enough, there's your, that would have been your starting goaltender or at least your 55 game starter for the next seven, eight years, seven years, we'll call it. And it was Audinger the summer before. Yeah. Which was crazy because he was coming off that series of Calgary where he was like, yeah,

970 or something crazy. And no one even offered you did him. And Dallas was in a tough spot with the cap. And you're like, it's right there, fellas. Stop being pals and start trying to win a little harder. Well,

and if it's not pals, it's just you anticipate at some point, you're going to be in that same kind of crunch. Yeah. And you don't want somebody to come and pull your pants down. Well, yeah. If not collusion,

then it's just trying to stay, almost stay out of your own, There is that for sure, but I hope you're around long enough as a GM to the totally. Yeah, you'd hate to be gone in three years and not have off-shooted someone and no time for vengeance. Like, come on. If there's women in cap, do it. Like, I'm thinking, we talked about it last night. There's no quick way for the flames to get back to contender.

You might be able to sneak in and be in the mucky middle again soon. But to get back to contender, it's going to take time because you don't have a number one center. You don't have a franchise D and you're not sure what you have a net behind Markstrom quite yet. There's no starwingers. Like it's just an offer sheet could change that this summer. Nothing else speeds up the process. And the more I think about that chat we had last night, Dean, like I wonder if Connie has the balls for that.

I think he has the balls for it. Who would be the player? Well, I mean, it's anyone in a cap pinch and you're right. It has to be the right guy. But the point is, we just talked about there's opportunities every year to do this. No one even seems to care, though. Especially, sorry, Jane, I was going to say, especially now when you've acquired so many surplus things.

That's where I was going. He's got nothing but cap space and picks. So it would be favorable. Like, when are they going to be in five, six, eight years? But you have the currency with picks to do it. So you can overpay and you would have to overpay. Keep in mind, again, I say this all the time. The Calgary is not the destination choice for everybody.

So you're going to have to have the cold weather tax, however you want to call it. you know, Canada tax, if it's a U.S. born player, to go there, you're going to overpay. The overpay will have to be, the player has to sign, want to sign that deal to make a boatload of money. And then he's going to Calgary for seven years. And Natchez this summer. There's a guy. Marty Natchez, yeah.

I mean, he's a good player. And Dundon loves offer sheets, doesn't they? Well, that's what I was going to say. Not every offer sheet works out because Kockney-Yemi, Yeah, I mean, he's on the fourth line there. And rightfully so, like I, you know, he was a guy for me. I think Bergey put him in the NHL too quick. So in Montreal, I don't think he developed the way they wanted him quick enough

or, you know, playing in the minors, then going to the NHL. And then the offer sheet was more like a petty thing. Well, it was. And that's kind of what I was saying is Montreal signed Ajo to the offer sheet. So then Carolina says, okay, we'll just sit here and wait until you've got somebody. and they again it depends how it comes out in the wash did they really get aft by it probably not my field this number boys make him pay him 10 a year quitting byfield let's go what you know you know what's crazy though Montreal did Carolina a favor because Aho at 8 million like he's a top

it's an unbelievable spot it wasn't even a tough spot it wasn't even a tough spot like it was kind of a mid-level, like it was almost, and I would not know the truth in this. So I'm friends with Mark Bergevin, but he would never talk business about that with me. But Rick Dudley was in management for Carolina at the time. Like, I almost felt like, you know, and it seemed like Waddell was pissed with the retaliation of the Chakeneh, but it's like they did them a favor. It was a mid-level offer sheet. Like if it was north of 10, now you're not.

you're looking like now now it's serious and it jams you up in eight eight million he probably was going to get more if he if he really wanted to to twist the screws a little bit so what's and what's weird about that is it kind of gives you a look inside what the negotiations must have been like with the hurricanes because if he signs that deal he couldn't have been getting that offer from carolina you wouldn't think we know that dundon is you know he could be a little bit petty or whatever the case is um so yeah did him a favor but then at the end of the day you kind of screw, you know, do you need Kotkin? Do you really need that?

No, you don't. Not at that at all. Placeable piece. Yeah, he is like he's a guy that's still, I mean, he's still youngs, but I don't see the upside. Like I don't see him as a top six. I think he gets to a top nine when he fills out. That's the way I feel about him.

But I might be wrong on him. So how are we doing, James? Everything good. We're, you know, trade deadlines come and gone. Good. I don't know. I just realized I still have like, I did

What you do in your private time, Jamie? We're not judging. I did a full physical this morning. I'm sorry, last week. And then they test the heart. They test, you know, they do all the MRI stuff and all that. And I had the heart test this morning. They inject the dye and then you have to do the treadmill and all that.

So just finish that. But then I just, I'm sitting here and I realize I still have those electrodes on. I thought those are nipple tassels. I was going to say we can see the mirror on your ceiling in the background. Yeah, exactly. There it is. There it is. There it is the electrodes.

But no, all good, you know, busy, yeah, pasties, exactly, just in the wrong spot.

No, I just got home. I'm just sitting here in the house. Nobody's yelling and screaming here. There's no kids. It's all good. Perfect. Well,

Rett's going to book the RV. You'll let him go win, Rent. Where are you going to pick them up? It's going to be wicked. What's the name of the band? Strictly hip. strictly hip.

All right. Pencil me in. I'm in. Perfect. Appreciate you, James. Have a good week, buddy. Thanks for having me, guys. We'll chat soon. You've got Jamie McClennan here on the insider hotline. And yes, with Tellus, world leading technology to drive meaningful change. They transform health care, making the food supply more sustainable, reducing the environmental footprint, helping Canadians in need. Tell us the most giving company in the world.

You can learn more at tellus.com slash gives back. I mean, he's, he's so concerned. Hey, I got to, I have a heart thing this morning, but I'm going to try and get back as soon as I can to get on the show. Dude, we'll be there when you get there. Don't, don't rush. He cares more about this show than we do.

You should have given your advice when it comes to the heart thing. Just pour some gravy on it. You don't want to know what's going on with that. You don't want to know. Ignore that. Ignorance is bliss and then I ask for seconds. don't want to know. Don't need to know.

Oh, you're in bad shape. Yeah. Stunner. Yeah. You went to school for that, huh? Is that right? You went to school for the...

Oh, Rhett gets those. The docks are catching strays now. You know, if you don't mix in a salad and maybe start exercising as you get older, uh, your, your chance of dying is going up. Yeah. You don't say.

It's a good thing I'm sitting down because, holy shit. I can't believe that what you just, just hit me with. They keep sitting dying, the death is coming. And I just keep waiting. It's like this rebuild.

How long is it going to take? How long is it going to take? Let's go. I like this byfield idea. Oh, fuck. The challenge for the flames right now is that until we see how the standings finish next year, your first rounders in play with Montreal

for that Monaghan deal, right? Otherwise, they have all their picks. Because you can't do an offer sheet with somebody else's picks, If it's four first rounders, they have to be your picks in any offer sheets. Yeah. So maybe you could send Florida's first to Montreal in lieu of yours with two fourths or something to say thank you.

But God, it's all for L.A. maybe just to match anyway. Yeah. And you know what? That has happened before where teams have reacquired their own picks. Yes. And it's, okay. So what? Flames did in the Foley deal.

Then the radar starts, yeah, the radar starts going, okay, so what are you up to there? You stinker, are you up to something? And I think how it goes, just in talking to guys, rather than do the offer sheet, they try and trade for the player first. A threat of the offer sheet. Yeah, like, hey, you know you're a little vulnerable here.

This guy's due for a huge raise. You don't have the cap space. We could do that or, you know, on your terms, we can work a deal that works for both sides. Start a new trend, Conrad. Be your own man. you're in the New York State hockey hall up. Yeah, you are.

Is that thing in an RV, too? Other ass hats and worry about that. And you're old. It's not like you're going to get another job. What are you saying? All in, brother. How old is coffee? Pushing chips already.

He's been on the job eight months. Christ. All in. Plus. You got to go. There's no sense waiting. You're old. Like somebody's going to hire a 60-year-old fart.

It's pretty young for a G. What are you talking about? It feels like it's kind of young, didn't they? Yeah, he's 52. He's a spring chicken for GMs. How old's Lamarillo? They let GMs be old and ignorant and complacent. You don't need to do.

We need another one of those. We need two more dumb GMs in the league. We need Benning to get hired and Shirelli to get brought back. It's just too hard to screw people. We've got smart GMs everywhere now. Shirelli would be a big win for the. Oh. Well, Ken Holland's up.

Maybe Shirelli could come back. to Eminton? It's a well, the first time. He's a genius, the newest, hottest thing in GMing. Mm-hmm. Hey, guys, we've got to talk about last night's game. It's time for opening statements, a presentation of McLeod Law. Shane King, a partner in the litigation and dispute resolution group,

specializing in areas like employee rights. They know, Shane knows that being laid off or terminated can be hard. Shane will review your situation, make sure you've been treated fairly, as the law requires. using a practical approach in plain language, not some legal jargon. It's McLeod law. So we get into it.

Yes, the game last night, a 3-1 defeat. Peter Morazic, not overly challenged, not overworked, certainly last night. No. I guess here's, here's, for doing the show last night, we had some questions.

I think what the concern is, it's not about, whether you're on Team Tank or you I don't think anybody's under any illusions that there's going to be playoffs this year it's just a what are we going to see for the next three and a half what is it 10 games what do we got entertainment what are we settling in for 11 games left that's because Ryan kind of characterized that this was one of the most listless efforts affairs that we've seen this season. You go back to when, you know, oddly enough, St. Louis, that St. Louis game early in the season where Huska was benching Huberto and all of that. It was not great then.

Sharks a couple of weeks ago with Wolf and Net. Not great. Chicago the other time was brutal. There's been a few stinkers. A lot of them in October, to be fair. So it's hard. If you, if you're looking for team rebuild, yeah, we want to get young, play the kids. We want to do this. This is some of the. the aftertaste that's going to go along with that. Can I jump in? Of course. Or do you want to finish the whole thing?

I'd love it if you would. There's a difference though when like for San Jose horse shit the whole way. And they've been horse, it's been a very level horse shit routine for 72 games or whatever they're at. Yeah. Yeah. The flames actually played hard enough to put themselves into a playoff. battle of sorts.

Yep. And when the door closes on those, way harder to stay motivated. 100%. They, they worked so hard to get back into that. Yeah. So my fear is it's going to not be very good to watch. And the fear would result in an even higher pick than the one they have today. Eight's good. Big picture. What are they at eight right now? Eight tied for eight. Eight? Eight. Remember we thought eight could be the ceiling? Like eight?

No one messes with the who. wheat in Saskatchewan. Such a stretch. As wheat as French. God, it. Well, yeah,

kind of. Yeah. Yeah. In Saskatchewan French. Yeah, that's right. Wheat is how they say eight. How do you say Saskatchewan in French,

right? Yeah, that's right. You know, it is interesting, because I hadn't really thought about that. In San Jose, there's never been any illusions.

No. Chicago last night. Do they look worried or upset? No, they're out having fun. Anaheim's going to be the same thing. Although it's probably less fun there because Pat Verbeek is just steaming at this group of idiots that have to wear his jersey.

Smile, Patty. He's the little ball of hate. Dude, if he was a little ball of hate before, look at the team that his name's attached to now. That man is not. Anaheim. Yes. It's warm.

Probably got a pool in your backyard. Settled out. You think that guy's not at the office, sleeping under his desk? This is the problem with that. He surfs every day with the Niedermeyer twins. He's not a winner for serf twins. Didn't know they were twins. They're so similar.

The one's quite a bit older. They both won everything. They did, yeah. The Niedermeier boys. Very decorated. Collection of championships. I'd put them right up there with the Gretzky brothers. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It's how much they came out of. Yeah. Yeah. So, Dean, what we're saying is don't just get disheartened. You don't care about your heart anyway, so just enjoy the ride. Oh, it's not, it's not so, but there were people to kind of like,

so whatever, on one hand, I'm tired of the mucky middle. Yeah. On the other hand, where's my, what's my, my hope? Where's my, my window to, when can I enjoy this again? And Pinder said by 2027. Well, the question was, one of they going to be, not be mediocre. It wasn't like when will they be back into a playoff spot. Like,

this could be a very fun, exciting young, hardworking team that squeaks into the playoffs sooner than that. But that doesn't mean your cup contender, right? Like, that's still the middle of the league. And it was a bad night to have that big picture conversation, a night where you were not very good for a good chunk of it. And no one looked overly inspired to be there. And the other team had the best young player.

the game and day, yad, yadda, yaddy, that sort of thing. But. And look, the biggest card they may have to play this offseason could be Markstrom, and that could change a lot of things. We talk about holes in the lineup. You might be able to address that with a Markstrom track. Yeah, it wasn't great last night also because of all those other games. It did influence things.

When you mean the other games, you mean? Well, as far as entertainment, when your team played Chicago and you're both out of it and you've got Boston going at it, Washington. It does matter. I think you made a good point where it's like, look, there's a lot of teams out of the playoffs, but not everyone is like downtrodden. The flames just couldn't get close enough,

and then they traded maybe their biggest, like lead by example guy in the whole room in TAN of, and other guys. And it's like, ah, where, you know, we just said it. But like the bottom three, four teams, what are they upset about? Let's go ruin someone's night. Let's be under,

no one thinks you can win anyway. Let's just go have fun. And I've been a Rasmus Anderson guy. I was, I think he's been really, he's been a great pick. He's been a great flame. He has grabbed the hold of his career

from where it was early on and has turned himself into a very good player. You start to think of four years of having Chris Tannave around. Take four, rolled the odometer back on Rasmus. This guy's been around and has been a mentor to him for a long time.

And I think just in talking to some people, say, yeah, the guys like Schillington played with him. And now Schilling, we're going to have to see. So what is Oliver Schillington without Chris Tano? Raspis Anderson has not looked the same. I'm guessing he'll get over it. You get into the next season, you know, the pouting or whatever, even if he's doing that.

But it's just, I think that was a big, a big shake to that crew. And the one guy who has been steady through it, has been McKenzie Weeger, gets his 17th last night. he's right up there we were talking Yosi's got 19 goals Macar's got 18 he had Rastastalian F17 it's been a great year for McKenzie Weger he's the one guy who's been

pretty steady through all of the rumors and everything else that's gone on but outside of that it's been it's definitely shaky on that blue line crew right now Rob Ray was I talked to him yesterday or was it this morning doesn't make and he was like that flames team not now

not now they didn't generate much on that night out of there. And look, there was a tough one-month window to watch to start the year. It's probably a tough one at the end. We had bookends. December, January, February, there's a pretty good hockey this team played. Remember that gauntlet run. They still have a over 500 record against the top six teams in the NHL, which is crazy.

It's just they really seem to stub their toe against shitty teams. And it's just, at this point, it's not a small sample. It's been two years of this shit. Listen, we will know by Christmas. Yeah, yeah. And the gauntler runs down. I'm tired of saying it. I'm tired of saying it.

December 23rd. That's right. Talk to me December 23rd. I'll tell you what this team is. Definitively no by then. They're going to tell you. I do wonder though if, because the Buffalo game uninspired, last night not great either.

I do worry about, I think there's going to be a bit of a leveling off. you get over whatever it is. Okay. Well, you'll get your shit. You're not, yeah, you're, you're, you're,

you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're two weeks, now you're 10 days away from going on vacation. I still say, a lot of it comes back to what is your coach going to do?

This is a, this is another, Huska's done so many things right and been so good. And I consider this another test, but also what a learning experience. How do I keep these guys engaged for 10 games. I realize that I can't walk in and I mean, I can threaten ice time and it's not,

but they're just going to, so I'm going to sit for two games and then I go home. Okay. Right. Like, he's going to have to find a way to get the leadership group or whoever it is to make it enjoyable. Yeah, they got to have fun because it's like, look, the playoffs are dead. And then players hang on longer than rational humans because, you know, they've beaten the odds their whole life just to get to this league you've been you've beaten the odds and told you weren't be able to do i don't care for one percent we're going to get into the playoffs well now everyone knows it's not happening bring back peltje you got two more emergency recalls maybe it's porre later let the vets have an off night here there play the shit out of wolf and make it fun like come in and guys we're playing soccer today

we're having soccer match and then we're playing tomorrow's badminton and i heard about this new thing pickleball i challenge all of you bastards to a pickleball game in anaheim when we're down there out in the sun or whatever, whatever. Yeah, it's the Flames Olympics. We're handing out medals. Let's go. Have some fun, fellas. And that's why I got to drive to Springfield tomorrow. Are you trying to, are you mooching for a job here? What the hell is going on?

No, I got to get in front of him because clearly he forgot how to sign in and get the listen to us. What are you doing with the kids? What are they going to accomplish with the Wranglers? Well, they did, they did bring Coronado back last night. so that's enough for you 20 guys that how'd you like watching monjipani

I almost feel like I like I we need it's just stopped because it's it's bordering on it's bordering on Huberto and November just piling on now yeah yeah because yeah it's he's falling down he's not close to scoring he's not it's not it's you know and even your guys you could set your watch to most of the year

just haven't like zarii possible caudry has been nearly as Be the fun card. Coleman hasn't been as effective. That's why you need the kids. Listen, Pinder, take it back on Pospicel. He almost scored against Buffalo. He was banging bodies last night.

Tried to run Badaard. I didn't mind. Love him. Love him. Pospicel's been okay. Zari's been out. You know, he's missing games. You know what? I'm with Pender on this.

Sit Pospesal. Send a message. You're here for one reason. I didn't say it. One reason and one reason only. You're out there to be a prick and a shit disturber. I haven't seen enough of it.

Pinder. why do you hate Martin Possible? Yeah, that's what yeah. Love them. I'm just saying, if we're going to look at the tape last night and talk about forwards that weren't great, like who were we actually leaving out of that conversation? Who played well last night from the forward?

I don't, I'm not letting anyone off the hook. Yeah, well, you didn't watch the game, so I mean. I sound like seven or eight minutes of it at least. Probably fine. Like, are we giving AJ Greer a pass? Is that it? Like, what are we doing? I don't know.

Fuck. Stupid sentiment. Bad game. Those are the opening statements for McLeod Law. Something. Proud of their Calgary routes, big part of their longstanding client relationships. McLeod Law, they understand the city, the people in it, the way things work, and just like the communities they serve, McLeod Law team, very diverse and sharing a commitment

to making a positive impact in the city of Calgary. Yeah. McLeod-dashlaw.com. What do you think Warner does there when he just disappears? Just goes in to picking his nose. eating the boogers, I think. I'm nauseous. I haven't eaten to do it. That's a huge burger.

That's quite a burger, yeah. Wow. My kid's chewing his nails now. Have you had a kid go through this? What do I do? Do you leave the show to eat and then come back? That's a problem. No, you got them. Lids off.

Oh, no. I got to go. Lids off for Kiprasah. See you Monday, Rhett. Take tomorrow. Oh, Dean, come on. Oh. I've got three crocodile clips.

Don't you fucking go away on me. I got three crocodile clips, Dean. I live for crocodiles. He's so offended that you might turn your screen off. Oh, I know. It's, it's, there's a, there's a weird moral code that you would think by now I would have figured out. But it, it waves and, it, it, goes around sometimes.

Are you wearing pants, Rhett? No. I came from the gym. So like you're wearing shorts or you're not wearing it's just Gitch shirts. Okay. That's better.

Gitch. Gitch. I got Gitch on too. Do you? Yeah. Double down. Outta boy. That's a boy.

Maybe he's doing wardrobe changes like a Prince concert here. He's just ripping through different stuff every time he changes the screen. That's what Prince did. Pants on, pants off. He's in peace. Lauren Mulligan says, good job, boys. That's a banger. Is that right?

Really? Mooner. Oh, did he get back to you on that one yesterday? Jeez. No, not that. Different mooners. Oh, really? Okay.

I don't know what Warren has done in his younger days. No, I meant the other mooner. I'm aware of what you're saying, Ryan. I get it. Don't explain the joke. I'm literally asking you if you have feedback. That's it. Service Credit Union, the service big share is back for the 60.

You know, it was going to be no real surprises, right? No. Other than you sounded sick, but you don't sound sick now. Dean refused to come on camera. He pointed his camera at the ceiling and was unseen and unheard. Well, Rhett never turned his camera on either. So what's the, he was on?

He was like, no, he wasn't. It was the camera was on. At the beginning, we said hi. And then he turned his camera off. Yeah, okay. Well, consider of eating. I didn't want you to watch. That's right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was polite. Jesus, Dean. So what do we think? The future of Barnburner hangs in the balance. Well, I thought you were planning on retiring this summer. Was that it? Aren't you going to be dead?

Yeah, one of the two, right? well I'm thinking why wait to be dead to not do the show my way to be dead yeah you can't do when you're dead I can confirm that I definitely cannot once I'm dead I'm not doing the show guys we could have like maybe a weekend of Bernie's thing without it's only a lost a show or two that's not funny anymore prop me up beside the jukebox when I die of Joe Diffin there retro yeah no yeah um John Deere green though I don't like the prop me up bullshit song I like the John Deere Green

John Deer Green such a great song great and you know what I am also fond of pickup man. Yeah. Something way I'm a like about. About a pick up, man. I never knew. Boo. Pick up, man.

So, you know, if this was the show we did, I might sit there. It can be the show, but you get stuck in your ways, but we have to do it professionally and this and that, don't shut your camera off.

And let's be honest. Whatever we're going to do, you're going to be miserable. Like, that's just your resting state. Good point. Acceptance. Like, you're not waking up at four anymore. We have full creative control. You can talk about whatever you want.

you did like that what you want no it's weird he hated getting up but he still gets up yeah it doesn't seem happy that it doesn't have to get up even though yeah i was up uh did the the the the show last night thing whatever it is after brunt got home bed about midnight is 1 30 nice thing up 1 30 till about 430 up doom scroll get a good doom scroll in i was just everything It may as well watch some YouTube. May as well go and, yeah. How does the woman that you live with handle this? Again, not the right approach.

Do you leave the room or? Oh, yeah, I don't. Yeah. I'm very considerate. With the woman that you live with. Okay. That's right. Yeah.

Yeah. In this space necessarily, but yeah, okay. Yeah. How's Bear? You guys get him kiss and make up or what? You feel like Bear would be a great companion at 4.30 in the morning. You go downstairs. I don't know this dog is.

Come on, bear. Let's spend some QT time. Oh, he's happy to hang out. Get some fresh air, maybe rolling the snow together. How much fresh air did you get yesterday? How about any day? You know what you need? You need to get signed up for outdoor camp.

I got a lot of kids. Send his ass to outdoor camp. Archery, low ropes, animal game, let's go. I guarantee you, you spend seven, eight hours outdoor boom. Boom, boom, at the park. Sleep like a baby. Baby. Sweet baby.

No, Pinter and I got a lot of fresh air yesterday. As you recall, we were out. We did it on location after burner last night. I was out. I was out of the house for sure. Well, and the Grega was stacked. So you did have to walk from your car. Parking lots of full.

It's busy there. Things are happening. Jumping. Jumping. Throw any in the slots. I didn't, although I was, it gets me every time you hear the, yo, yo! And you look over, it's like, oh, ho. Yeah, it was a couple of craps table, eh?

How's it going? A couple hoots and hollers. Table's warm. How's it going, boys? How are we doing? It's now a thing when we go. I look forward to it and it's, it's kind of like Ozzy Brad. It just doesn't miss.

What happened again last night? Our server, the last time we were there, not the time that you and I went rent and didn't do a show. Yeah, I think the last time, so two times ago when we actually did a show and Ryan and I was there, uh, the server, she is enthralled with the Pinder Mullet. She's like, oh, I just, because you, you, you actually cut it that way. I think it looks so good. I tried to get my husband to do it, but he just, it could, his hair's not right.

Couldn't grow it that way, you know, this sort of thing. So that was in, I guess, last. That was Feb. I was there first watching the game on my phone. And then Pinder showed up and I knew it was coming. Couldn't even get a drink quarter in. Couldn't even get it in. That hair still looking so good.

It gets better and better. That hair just keeps getting better and better. Yeah. I mean, everything's short of running your hands through it, Red. It was quite something. You want to talk about a hyper-aggressed fortune. This is F1 right here, run the D-Man through the boards. You should wear a crown in that hair.

Like Jughead. Archie Comics, right, Jack? You love Archie Comics. I do love Archie Comics. Now, who, Jughead, he's, for a guy that ate hot dogs all the time. Burgers. Was it burgers? Yeah, you're right.

God damn it. Oh, my God. For a guy that ate burgers all the time, pretty lean. You think he's got some of that beyond burger stuff, the fake me? No, no, that you don't want. Careful. I'll get in trouble for saying don't, but Hmm?

There's, no, no. What was the name of the diner that he ate at? Oh, boy, I don't remember, man. It was a diner, wasn't it? I think so. Yeah. Now, where did ass hat go? I think you should yell at him.

No? You guys, you know what? It is Pops Diner. Well done. Look at this. Marcel. Whoops, damn it. Get out of here.

Don't you? There. Marcel. Pops Diner. Number one, your first star today, Marcel. Love you. MVP of the show, Marcel.

MVP today. Well done, buddy. Happy for you. Should I just throw to the Pinder Report? Is that what's next? Probably. Well, can I tell you something? Yeah.

I've always enjoyed the Pinder Report for as long as we've done it. It's been a wonderful addition to everything we've ever done. Yeah. I feel like I could, I don't feel like I can contribute to things that I can do. I think I could probably do the PIN. It's just YouTube clips, really. Right? Yeah, that's what it is.

Like if I find a snake, Pinder Report. Someone falling? Pinder report. Pind report. The guy getting kicked in the nuts? Pinder report. Yeah. It's like there's nothing out there that isn't content that would fit in the Pinder Report. That's the beauty of it, Dean.

He's worldly. It's what he is. God, no, I'm lazy. And so now anything anyone sees on the internet that they think's funny, they'll send to me. And all I'm doing is playing the hits. I got three separate crocodile videos sent to me. I wouldn't even look for him. I found out this weekend, actually.

One of your minions exposed himself. Oh, dear. That's awkward. Yeah. And it was a Greta. which made things even worse. Oh, boy. Was it the 100?

No, he said, he didn't realize he did it. He's like, yeah, so I sent Pinder this video about a, and he didn't use it. It's like, really? So you're one of them. I don't want people to get upset. Like, there's a lot of content that gets sent. If it gets left on the cutting room floor,

it might get used later in the week, or maybe we've already played it. A lot of people, if you miss one or two episodes, you missed a lot of crocodiles. I got that old guy that gets bitten by the, crock on the side of the golf course we played that four months ago i've got that sent to me like ten times since then you throws his jacket on him and the alligator's like i'm not an idiot you're toast buddy yeah anyway no rats that's their only policy this could be something to think about

for the uh christmas party show i've got a highlight real yeah there's there's there's three that have been so aggressive i'm not comfortable putting them on the show because boom's gonna Maybe some real offside shit. There's one that I, even when I started thinking about it, and I've got like, I would consider myself an iron stomach. It's no, like boom is toast. I'm saving that one for Christmas show.

Drinky show next year. How are you? I could poop right now. You want to make it on the Pinder Report or what? Is Pindor report worthy? Like that might be. You want me to pull out the focus on the camera? The Christmas report.

It would be perfect content for the Pinda report. I'm not sure if you have time, no, Ryan. Hey, listen, Dean, I've got, uh, Mama Bear landed today. I got Oodles of time. I got nothing on my schedule. Yeah. Now, how does that work then for you? Because if my other person returns home, I don't get, it doesn't go, oh, you're

off the hook. Yeah. It's why. Yeah. I'm not off the hook, but I think, um, you know, these were extenuating circumstances and it was very short notice. And I think. No, it's two and a half weeks.

It feels like he's trying to bank credit for doing what he's supposed to. Are you kidding me? Of course I am. Can we cut his mic for a second? I think we have to deal with this. All right. Like there's a way of living life and contributing to society. It's a bit of a George Costanza take.

We're all part of this society, right? Yeah. Yet his thing is, oh, my wife. wife's having a bad go. So I had to deal with it. Now I've earned... Yeah. Hey, I know you had to take part in some serious life event stuff.

Now that you're back, I'm going to get loser pissed at the Jay's season opener game tomorrow, babe. But thanks for coming home. It doesn't feel right. Each to his own. Is that? I don't know. I don't know either. I really don't.

But, you know, hey. Opening day tomorrow, don't do this to me now, fellas. Another thought I've been having, speaking of the other people in our lives, maybe one day we let them do the show. Oh, it's a great idea. I mean, if you think we go take runs at each other,

like, we would get eviscerated by our wives. Yeah, we would. Imagine if they had a Christmas show? I was going to say, if we did a drinky show with them, like, I don't know who owns this thing or who's the boss, this whole thing's going under. There's not enough to fire trucks. Oh, God, no.

Yeah, and McLeod law, like, there won't be a phone line open. Because if you think we hate each other. Oh, my God. Our wives hate us more than anything in the world. They have to deal with us more than like two hours a day. And they have that in common. It would just be a celebration love fest. over their hatred for us individually.

It would be an idiot gala, where they all get together and take turns talking about how stupid their husband is. And it could go for hours. We could do one of those summer long-form two weeks of this shit. I'm rethinking this.

Let's put that back in the bottle, please. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The wife's edition. What about the kids? What if we let the boys do one? My kids come in every once in a while. I got to set up cameras for after a minute. They just like,

yo that's what they do that's my kids are too dumb your kids they're really too you kids are great yeah but it's harder at the youtubes and the social medias like there's a lot of stupid people haven't success i know mm-hmm maybe we look at us look at them to yeah i don't know you don't want them to be like you dean if you if he could because there's those videos where you watch someone play video games yeah yes The gamers, yeah. We could do that for sure. Dreamers.

Yeah. Well, and, you know, he's a big wrestling head. You're the middle guy, you know, I feel like if you want to come on and talk about wrestling, it wouldn't be like he isn't dialed in enough or he's not sharp enough on that front. He'd be a weapon. I wouldn't do it to you. I live it. I wouldn't make you guys live it.

From morning till night. sun up to sundown wrestling wrestling now is he a w or is he just a w is he anything just right right right for one second is that why this guy's getting up there's some japanese wrestling show on it four five to leave all it's got to be it huh do you remember uh the old shop old primetime klein yes he'd wake up at two a m to watch the thing in tokyo hundred percent and you know what

we've been questioning that man as a father and as a husband and in reality he's not getting up because he can't sleep no being a good old man maybe he is being the greatest mentor to his son gets up he makes breakfast he goes and gets the kid up when the show's about to starts buying him tickets to russlemania come on down son sit with daddy let's watch this shit come on daddy a bad damn head was on over here daddy There's too much action outside my window. Yeah, you got to give us a little peak here. What's going on? Well, the shoveler left the house today, which is a shocking turn of development. Yeah. Well, Dean's staying home for it. Don't worry. Because with this new world, the shit just comes to you.

There's no sense of leaving. Yeah. So good. Now, I'll give you, she did bring me a maple chicken bite, which. What? From under the couch? She lost that. Maybe it is poison.

So we're a great. Shish. Today, it's a big day at Madrose Pub. I mean, every day there's 20 beers on tap, 20 or more, rotating taps. They got great food, great atmosphere. But today, and we've told you about the pizza at Mad Rose Pub. The dough, the sauce, everything fresh, every single day. Let's, and this is no disrespect.

If you have a pizza establishment, it's what you specialize in. It's what you do. Awesome. these guys are going to give you a real run for their money. Oh my God. It's some of the best pizza you're going to have in the city. And today, it's Pizza Day at Mad Rose Pub. If he's heard us blathering away about this pizza,

we've gone for years, these guys have been talking about the pizza. Pete's so good. Pizza looks great. Pizza in the picture looks like the same pizza shows up. It's true. It's pizza. 25% off today. Pizzes every single Wednesday up at Madrose.

Now, if you go. Like Dean. you'll finish the whole wheel. Oh, you had to. Yeah, you will. Had to go there. And then hate yourself. Except, you know what?

Half of you will say you, you loser. And the other half will be, I had no choice. It's so bloody good. Wouldn't do. Put it in a box. Take it.

That half telling you that, what are you doing? Like, tell that guy to take a hike. You want a house a pizza? How's a pizza? What the hell? Eat the damn. Eat it.

God damn it. Eat it. So tonight's 25% off at Madrose. If you're with Rett, any day can be 25% off because if you go to the washer, you'll be missing a quarter of your pizza. The full pizza will be there tonight, and you'll only have to pay for 75% of it. Bastard.

Appetizer stealer. One of my favorite things to do, and I did it at Kippersoff thing, is with the food. I used to do this on the plane to all the fellas. They'd get the food on their tray. And I'd come over. How is that?

Is that well done enough? Is it good? Iggy loved it. Oh, I bet he did. Yeah, yeah. It sounds like something guys would have a real good gaffa about. I bet you they loved it so much. You go to Springfield Mass to talk to Connie.

He's going to hire you to change the culture in this joint. Oh, rad. And people's food on the flights. Let's go. You stinker. Betting that's how that went. Oh, yeah. Mad Rose Pub 15,

Royal Vista Place. Maybe you want some takeout. Madrose. Pub is their website. Check out all the things they go and got going up there. And again, warmer weather coming, temp's coming. They got the outdoor patio with the retractable roof. Unbelievable. Check it out. Fifteen Royal Vista place. Yeah, I guess, I mean, the crocodiles will only wait for so long. I didn't realize there's so many crocs and people near crocs on earth. It's amazing. Yeah, it really is. how many crocodile videos we've played.

I don't even know if we had our first crock until the new year, Jack. Like, how many crocs do you think of, have you seen since, you know, on the Pender Report for the last three months? Oh, I saw a couple on McLeod Trail the other day. Because again, we're in prime crock country here. Yeah. Yeah, that's a wet season. They stick to the sewers, but we're here.

Which is why it makes sense that we show so many crock videos on a Calgary-based show. And toilet snakes, because that's pretty here. You've got to be careful. the crock could get you when you go down to the river for water. Yeah, you never know. Well, we'll try to mix in a little bit of sports. Heads up. Heads up.

Village Honda presents the Pinder report. Can you push the pub? The Honda Civic continues to lead the way in value, reliability, and performance. Nothing here about crocodiles. Honda Civic. 10 out of 10, though, in car and drivers comprehensive vehicle testing, the Civic Type R and CivicSSI, rank number one and number two, respectively,

in the Sport Compact category. It's why Village Honda is and should be your dealership for life and, it's what else you do? Again, we've been telling you about this for a long time too. It's your one-stop automotive destination in Calgary. And Village Honda presents. Ryan Pinda, Ryan Pinda.

The Pinder Report. Well, it was a jovia fellow and a hairy fella. You want to try that again? Last night. No, start again. We'll just keep moving and knock your attention. The Pinder Report. Flames Fall in Chicago again.

Can't beat the Hawks. It was also Landon Slagherst's first game. You're welcome, Landon. He got the Barnburner jinks today. Landon Slaggart. Nice to meet you. Well, there you go. That's some red jerseys.

Oof. And I didn't even think we went that hard. It's just slaggart. It would have been the best flame if he was not in net. Now it's a four-game losing streak for the flames. Yep. And seven of their last nine, curious to see what happens,

because they've got St. Louis coming up, and that's not an easy foe right now. They've been good. They've got L.A., who very much has something to play for coming in on Saturday. You get into April, and then it's San Jose a couple times. You've got the ducks in there and the coyotes.

And you almost wonder, Are they as dangerous as teams that have something? They're playing loose. They're playing kids. The Hawks tonight. Yeah. Like that seems not playing for positioning. It was not a previewing tonight.

That was not one that we're going to tell our grandchildren about team. I'm assuming we live to see our grandchildren. It's going to be a while, I think. I know. Single light. Should have put them on. It was a headachey day yesterday, too. That probably helped, eh?

Yeah. the game, the glasses, the light. And you know what, though? Balanced out that one-on-one quality time with Ryan. And it really balanced out when you took a look at the Inver standings last night. Oh! Banger last night, Dean. Pittsburgh, win. New Jersey, win.

Seattle, win. Love it. They are passing teams like crazy and we're on to the top page. They currently said, tied for eighth. Come on. Seattle. Seattle. Ron Francis,

I'm looking at you. Dave Haxdell, you're fired if you don't pass the flames in the standings. There's your ultimatum. Go. Seattle. Seattle. Seattle.

Seattle. Seattle. Seattle. Seattle. Seattle. I don't know that much you all can get there. But, man. Remember when they were like 14th, 15th?

This is quite a month they put together here after that five-game winning streak. Good work, fellas. Here's the schedule. I don't know where St. Louis is at. Excuse me. But, Seattle. Like, do they feel like they're out of it? This Nashville runs kind of torched them.

I don't know that they can reel in Vegas or not. They're a better team than the flames. They've beaten them badly twice this year, but maybe they're all up in their feelings like the flames have appeared to be the last week. And LA's good and they're playing for stuff. That's the next two. One on the road, one at home. St. Louis.

They lost an overtime to Vegas. They beat Minnesota. They beat Ottawa. They lost 4-3 to the avalanche. They beat Anaheim, a shootout loss to Minnesota. They beat the Kings. They beat the Bruins. They're playing well, Ryan.

Are they? Yeah. So 6-3-1 and they're lost 10. Do you want me to go through that again? No, it just sounded like you're reading the schedule. That's all I think. So they're doing okay. They're too close to pack it in quite yet.

That's true. There are three wins out. Yeah. One more loss, Ben. Hmm. Okay. So those are the next two. Dean, I might give you Thursday off after Burner. A little R and R. Long weekend for you, okay? Wouldn't dream of it. Tomorrow? Can I get it off?

Yeah, I don't really factor you in for working much of these days. Let's move on. Shane Doan has a son who apparently good at hockey. And why not get him up into Arizona where he grew up in Scottsdale in front of the hometown fans before they move this fucker to Salt Lake? Here we go. I'll pump today. First game, first goal. Get a room, builder. I was Don't hugging his daughter like that.

What's happening here? Look at this one of hand-eye retro. Turnover by the Columbus Blue Jackets, Josh Donne. Right there in the blue paint. And he's ready. Forces the turnover. Look at the hand-eye coordination. Look at it.

Look at it. Bangs at home. It's almost as wound up as the Mullerina was when we were there, fellas, for the flames. And that route of the Yotes. That gave Malina 2-1. First in the national. It wasn't done. And it might have been deflected.

And guess who? That might be Josh, oh my goodness. Unbelievable. My goodness. What is this? What's going on? What's that Hulk Hogan up there? Who is that?

A little beefcake for the boom cat. Tarp's off. Tipped in front. Yeah. Who's this guy fighting at WrestleMania? I don't know this guy's name. What the traps on that fella. Look at this guy.

Jesus. Pee in this cup, please. Seriously, buddy. Looks like a sprinter in the 90s. Hey, Mark McGuire. How many home runs have you hit this year? Oh, that was at the gym. I guess I got to go back.

Go right now. The gun goes off. Yeah. Turn that camera off and get going. Pretty cool. I hope he really like something. There's some guys that I wouldn't cheer for because they're assholes and that's not Shane don't.

He's a good person. Yeah. So who's too good list? Yeah. Who's the other side? One of the nicest guys in the world. Did you have any good donor story? Like you obviously didn't play with him, but did you go on the World Stars Tour with you?

Did you see him off season? Do you golf with them? Anything like that? No, donor's an awesome person. He's let he's not like me. So you can trust. We had a nice conversation actually once after we both retired and we were very complimentary. Oh, each other's accomplishments.

That's nice. But I don't think he wants to, he lived, he, he went about his business. up it's kind of different. Can you describe this a little bit further? Just use your hands. The words might work and just keep using your hands. Now, because you, so I think the point you're making is you did it one way and he did it another.

So if you can't, can you describe maybe you, how did you do it? And then we'll just know that he did it a different way. I did it in the after dark kind of, after burner section of life. Notchos. cheese sauce.

He did it during the daylight and with conviction and purpose. Right. Yeah. You're nocturnal. He's not. I'm like Dean here. I don't sleep well. That's right. Yeah. If Dean did nocturnal out of his house, that was you. Got it.

Okay. Seven thousand calories from Jim's steak out. I remember doing the math the one night. Whoa. I had drank all night and then I went to eat. And it wasn't the drinks I was including. It was just the food that I ordered at 4.30. That's 7. Like, I don't know if I got through it all, but it was 4.30 p.m. and you'd been drinking all day?

Oh, bars are open to 4 here, buddy. So the food was good till 430. Fours are open to 4. You go over to Jim's steakout. You get some tacos. You get some taco in a bag. Oh, yeah, I got you. A chicken singer.

Meanwhile, Shane Don is at the hotel doing burpees and cardio. Well, you saw the guy. hugging him. He's more of that stuff. That's, yeah. Well, that guy needs to be in a cup to Dean's point, yeah. At the same time, both guys, both NHL careers. Pretty sure he didn't have a chance to win. I don't think so.

I just keep a track of that stuff anyway. It's just all of a good time. Preds. One goal. One goal and I'd have one of those rings and I'd be regarded in this. Oh, he's right. Either that or one video review system that actually could tell if a puck was in the net, which might be a good thing to have. if you're a league with televisions or if you'll get get the puck up you know like raise it get it up a little bit then yeah you're a winner just one yeah one more goal i hear you buddy

one one preads down three nothing and four one who cares they tied it up at home it's nuts in tennessee nuts still with it chased by theodore stiff arms him three man wee Yosey hits the accelerator. Comes in! He's gone! Yes, sir! Very similar to my overtime, cool. I think he probably dedicated to you after inspiration and all that.

Oh, that's pretty. Jeez. It's not bad. And that's a D-Man doing that to forwards. Usually the forwards, like to walk. Who was that D-Man? And how would you break down his tape there on Roman Yosey? well you had Shea Theodore out there and it was Chandler Stevenson who was on the receiving end and then Ico was like oh damn it and it just looks too late oh jeez oh dear oh geez uh Zach Hyman hit 50 on the weekend someone in emminton built a nice highlight pack you love to see it what a great year he said

that's happy I didn't know he used the wood stick guys did you know what yeah oh for sure yeah the old uh the tight Anyway, 50's a lot. Congrats to Zach. Is that the thing that got everyone was mad about yesterday? That was not it, no. Because we can laugh at that, right? That's okay. I think so, yeah.

Yeah, good. Because, I mean, he's going to the tough area, Red. If there are people with more balls out there, they could score goals from those positions, too. I hate to disrespect Hyman, but you can't apparently. I'm not excited for score 50. And then he scored again yesterday. and I'm like,

I'm like, I'm going to hear about more Zach. All right. Well, you wouldn't have, actually, you don't want to go viral today? Not really. You're like, I'm just too tired to go viral.

I don't know. I just want to lie down. You guys talking about. NHL tonight, two games, two non-flames games, Dean, as we see Atlantic Division in play. RET, it's a, holy shit, we didn't think rebuilds took this long bowl

between Ottawa and Buffalo in the Queen City. And we've got Boston, Tampa Bay, and when are these guys actually going to get bad? You're still good. How are you doing it? So what not to do at the top half of the screen and what you want to do at the bottom of the screen?

We've discussed this before, I believe, this Queen City stuff. Yeah. Queen City kids? That's Regina. Or Cincinnati or Buffalo. A lot of Queens out there. Do you know that or she was well-traveled?

Very friendly queen. Queen Buffalo? Yeah. She was a little hair. I get a shot at the beautiful people that grew up in Buffalo. That's named after. That's a big deal. Tomorrow's opening day.

Let's get a look at how jacked up fan bases are with a little AI. We used to do this back when AI was new and now we just have forgotten about AI as it takes over the world. But put back to good use with a reminder that baseball's tomorrow, here are the average fans from each fan base. Have a watch. The image of the average Mets fan. The average San Diego podcast. Gray's fan. Do the Chicago Cubs. The average Astros fan. Oh my God. Every Phillies fan. The average Atlanta Braves fan. Cincinnati Reds. Do the Cleveland Gardens. Oh. The average Detroit Tigers fan.

Texas Rangers. The Oakland Athletics. Oh. Do the Los Angeles Angels. The average Ray's fan. Nerd. Minnesota twins. Lastly, a Seattle Mariners fan. A little lonely there.

Not bad, eh? Dean just wants to go away already. What did you think of that? That was great. Yeah, let's do the other half of the league. Let's go. The average white socks fan. The average Yankees fan.

Do the L.A. Dodgers. Oh, hello. The average Baltimore Orioles fan. Washington Nationals. Bill Nye. The average Red Sox fan. Arizona Diamond Fats. The average Brewer's fan.

Thanks, Ryan. Do the Cardinals next. The average Blue Jays fan. Oh, Jacked. The Brett Laurie. Kansas City Royals. That's a Karen. The Pittsburgh Pirates.

That's Jack. The average Colorado Rockies fan. Lastly, the Miami Marley, like for part two. Mm-hmm. There you go. I'd ask you your favorite team, but I'm not going to ask you your favorite, Dean. Is there more? Nope, that's it.

That's probably 30. Dang, eh? Just don't worry that was 30. Do you care about the new NFL kickoff thing or no? What is it? Okay, we'll move on. Let's go to Regina Beer League hockey, Rutte. a little out of control.

Queen City. Queen City. Queen City. Queen City slashes. That was this team. That's yellow in front. A little pushing the goalie. Ooh.

Geez. First off, get a jersey, bud. You can't be wearing your own color out there. Secondly, we don't slash people ever like that. And if you are, don't do it right on the goalie's pads. What do we do? You have Blaine Tucker? Yeah, is Darcy's brother?

Yeah. I don't know what to do No, it's not allowed guys Barton Holt and Regina having a snap show Come on, Barton. We're Jack to hear you're back on the Pelton working out. Awesome to hear you're working in some box jumps as well.

Get a rise and grind every day. Oh, no. Don't you lay there. Get up. Back on the horse. And I landed. You can see my hip kind of hit the dumbbell there. too.

You're what? A hip. Yeah. Now, you and noodles are heading out on the road. When you're on the road, you've got to be careful. There's certain intersections that have really bad merges and yields. You've got to know where they are and be prepared. Boy.

Hey, aha. That's a human. That's a person. It's a nice swerve there. Good swerve, guys. Jack, don't show that again. Jack wanted to show you some of his old summer jobs. Jack loves doing landscape and construction work.

He had working a crane. Loves the views, fresh air. There we are, so he's got his seat there. That isn't the newest model. Oh, boy. Huh. Way up there, Dean. I'm sorry, but the rest of the city doesn't look that newer put together either.

Yeah, the old ancient crane coast. Got to stop giving them contracts. That is too. not enough money. Nope. Nope. Nope. No, sir.

No, Jack, do we have a 95 where we go straight to- see how lucky you got it working with fellas like us? So great. Your comfy chair there. No, right? You know what? I tell myself every day. It's a mantra every day.

How lucky I am to be with you two guys. Yeah. You made it, buddy. Yeah. Imagine you had to do a real job, right? Yeah. Yeah. looking at.

We're onto the crocs. Okay, we're into the crocodile portion of the program. Now, you're thinking, how are there so many goddamn crocodile videos out there? Well, you know what it is? It's these damn cell phones right. People are walking around trying to film the crocs. Stop it. And look at this guy.

He dropped his phone trying to film the Gator. And now someone else is filming the guy's phone that was going to be filming the Gator. Maybe if the Gator left, I would get it. Yeah. Even then. Maybe, like, There's like the walking stick. Maybe there's something that's like a gather.

Walking stick isn't long enough. Oh, he's going to eat it. No. No. See, like you, Dean, not impressed with all these crock and all videos. Oh, it's crunchy. He's more of an android crock. Yeah, yeah.

He's going to eat it. No, he's not. Wrong. More traditional meal often includes things that live in the water. Luckily, these turtles, Evolution Dean, has given them some protection. Right. So now, get out of their rest, you can't. Go.

Like, Red trying to eat one of those gobstoppers. Hey. Great candies. Yeah, it is. Overlasting. That's as fast as you can go, bud. You're hustling. So all we need to do is make phones out of that and we're fine, right?

He's like, fuck! Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Do, do, do, don. Do, don. Do, don. Do, dumb. he just couldn't be bothered. He's like, one of those pistachios

where it's like all, there's no opening on it, Rhett? You know, pliers or something? I hate those. I ate a human baby yesterday. I'm still kind of full. It was right there. I just figured it.

I know. Do you ever, you know, when you're horsing around with the boys, the young fellas when you're a dad? And you can play the log roller game. Are you familiar with the log roller? Love the log roller, especially in the trampoline.

Yep. And then there's also sort of steam roller. You can do it either. Steam roller, yeah. Steam roller roller roller. Someone wants to do this with alligators. Let's go, let's go. There's a lot in that chance.

Let's go, guys. Come on. Okay, now, Dean, is this this man's house or can you train alligators? I don't know. I feel like they're just rolling the dice that they're not hungry. Who? Did they think he's an alligator? What are we doing?

I ask myself every day. Somebody bite that bastard. Yeah. I could see why there might be. a false sense of security after a while. Because maybe they don't bite you the first nine times. Right? But it only takes a 10th time.

Anyway, we'll be back with more crocodiles tomorrow. Finally, world record. I feel like this is something up Dean's Allie a bit. You love puzzling. No one will bother you. You have time by yourself. So I think this is like jenga pieces. Someone has built an incredible temple.

Let's have a listen. A thousand blocks. It took over two weekends to build. And I'm really excited because next week, the Guinness Book of World Records team are going to come to evaluate it. And I'm really looking forward to that. Hello. Oh. Geez, Brian.

I don't know what to say. I'm sorry about this. I guess we'll go back to Dale. You, Dale? His phone rang and the cord. Yeah. Sorry, Dale. Back to you. That's your Pender Report. And back to you, Dale.

New inventory on the ground. The Northwest Automol. Village Honda. Where new vehicle pricing is always MSRP, VillageHonda.com. How many games last night? So many. Six bangers? So many games.

Rett wants to get into the games from last night. We're two minutes from noon. I'm trying to figure out the ratio. I get, it's the Pender Report. You do what you want. I just. Bangor to non-banger? No, well, let's, it's a good, good question.

Now, because we, he did have the clip of the flames. Yosey, right? He had the Yosey. Yeah. So. Exclus. Was there anything? Anything from the, uh, Florida, Boston game.

Nope. We've bragged about it. It was four three. It was spoken highly of the. game. Great. Controversial play in that game where Kachuk was doing his kind of patented. I'm going to come in and check you with his backside and actually lifted his

foot, like lifted his skate off of the ice and came in. And that, uh, that was, you know, drew the ire. Yeah. Well, he already, remember when he sliced shifely? That was a sketch. Yeah, too. Yeah, sure. Philadelphia had a lead lost at 6.5 in overtime at Madison Square Garden.

Son of. I believe there was, it was like a historic win as well for Peter Lavalette, one of the, winning his coaches in NHL history. The return of Jake Gensel to Pittsburgh as a Carolina hurricane. Good point. Detroit, Washington goes to overtime. Patrick Kane, again, a huge goal to tie it. Go time.

Toronto, crushing loss to New Jersey. Keith was mad. Edmondson had a 3-1 lead, squandered it. They get to overtime, but they do get a win. Did that show up? Hyman. Colorado Avaland. Nate McKinnon has that crazy

Holmice point streak intact. They played Montreal last night. Anything there? They lost. Marty Stanley back with the team. Yeah. Nick Suzuki. And as good as Colorado has been,

Dallas wins last night. Now Colorado, they have a game in hand. They have to win that to keep pace with the Dallas stars. Yeah. Jack? Hello? any people eating raw eggs or snake videos kicking around?

No, we played all those. Ah, darn it. You know, yesterday I got asked what sort of prep we do for the show. Yeah, my answer was downloading crocodile videos. Yeah. Jack, you idiots. Don't talk about business with anyone. Don't give them the template.

Don't give them the, yeah. That's keys to the city right there. The secret sauce. Delete this, delete this. Delete this. Cut it. cut his mic yeah cut it friggin boss stop sorry for calling you an idiot check but came out pretty quick though deserved it was the first it was very front of mind for you to call yeah i'm just cordero patterson huge signing figured it would be hey they changed the kickoff

rule so now it's more important i asked you guys you wanted kickoff stuff you said no i didn't say no I said, what the hell you're talking about? Which is a no. I mean, anytime you get your hands on a 33-year-old. The other part of that is we've only got so much time, Dean. We can't get into this. Because you had a thing today. You had to go.

Yeah. I wouldn't want to cut out Regina Beer League fights for this. Exactly. You have to make choices with your allotment of time. You fit everything in. Come on. Yeah. Well, I know a lot of people, I'm going to probably spend a lot of time the rest of the day.
