FlamesNation Barn Burner Live from the Tower Chrysler Studios in Marda Loop! - NHL Finals Picks- Stanley Cup Finals Preview- The Pinder Report Presented By Village Honda- Betway Bets Of The Day Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well, here we all are once again in the Tower Chrysler Studios, the final Barn Burner of the week. It's the Redster, it's the Pinder, and it's myself. Tower Chrysler, the number one Tower Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep dealer in all of the city. That's your time. Yeah. Yeah. When it's first. Let's go.

There's only one. I got a message. Apparently, all our buddy, Serge. Serge, the manager general, general over. at Tower Chrysler. He was listening the other day. Yep. The ice cream sandwiches and all of that. Old man food. Yeah. Yeah. He had not, he was unfamiliar with the two-banger. Really? Yeah. He had not heard of the two-bangers. I've never, I've never heard of this. Of course, the two-banger being when you go to Costco. Sometimes you just go to Costco only for the two bangers. Sometimes it's because you're there

and you get grocery. But sometimes just like, I need the two banger. Buck 50, hot dog and a drink. You cannot beat it. So it's so good. So you get two of them. And I told them, I said, actually, what my strategy was, I didn't need two drinks. But I would take the two drinks because optically, if somebody was watching or you take them to go, right? If you were going to sit and shame and eat them in your truck or whatever. I would take the two drinks anyway to me. Well, he's not. Oh, for his buddy or his wife.

Two drinks, two dogs. That's a reasonable thing to do for sure. Yeah, that's how you do that. Are you done? Yeah, I'm done, Rhett. The reason old sugar dig a big sugar surge. Sugar daddy. Old Sugar daddy, Serge hasn't done the two bag or the two.

is because he gets the he gets the Sunday. Oh, okay. Right? That's his thing. Because he likes sugar. The Sunday, I'm telling, listen. I know.

You may judge if you wish, all of you. But the soft serve Sunday at Costco, it's hard to be. Could you share the story of, I don't know that we've mentioned it on the show or not, but we have a trip coming up at the end of the month. and for this particular trip, we needed a headshot for you, Dean.

Do you want to finish that story or no? Because you have changed your habits significantly. Oh. Facial recognition is not going to work? I don't think his old phone would open right now. Jowls are not there anymore. Yeah, it was a photo taken at the old station, at the old studio, like in the Northeast.

And dudes, dude's very large. Swollen? Dude's filling out that... Swole. That blazer. Yeah. For sure.

You know what it was. It was a year before the pandemic because I was on afternoons at the time with Pat. So it was in the new building. I remember because it was in a certain email that I have. You did not look like you. You looked like someone that may have eaten you. I mean, I look awful now. No, you look great right now.

Jesus. But, you know. So my thought was, he's like, hey, do you have a headshot? by chance and I'm like, yeah, I got one. Here's one. He's like, I don't even know where I could get a headshot. And I'm like, well, check this one out. And you're like, oh, fuck. Because it's like, things happen slowly. If you see someone every day, you don't notice. If you visit someone every six months or a year, you're like, oh, my God, these kids are growing. They're like, man, you're in shape. But day by day, you don't notice. That for me was like a

whoa. Boom on the bike changed your life. That was prime two banger. Yes. That was two bang or boom. Yeah, that was two bang or boom for sure. So I don't know, I feel like I might need to wheel over to Tower and take some fire up some bangers over at Costco and fire him out like he was firing the ice cream sandwiches the other day. Just Polish sassage, just firing him out to the boys and girls there over

tower. Now who who, because today is National Something Day. Yeah. Who had the awareness on this? Is that you? Well, we'd like to leave Rhett with some responsibility but he can't really keep track

of stuff and it was always great when we said it's National Something Day and he would like open up a website and list like 40 days, but when the day came, he would never remember. So today it happened to jump into my Twitter feed. It is National Donut Day. So

to all who celebrate, happy NDD. Does a donut have to have a hole in it? This is a good debate. I don't think so because I think we have a particular, like a long John. But I guess before we get to it, retro, because I'm not sure. I'm not sure where you fall in on sweets.

You're kind of hit and miss. I was wondering where you are on the donut. It's a rare occasion when I take a bite of a donut. Very rare. So in your playing days, let's say you come into the room with a coffee, someone's got a box of donuts at the table in the middle of the room. You're way early for practice. Are you having one or just walk right by?

Or I walk right by. Really? Not even. No. I would say I have a bite of donut every five years, five to ten years. Five years. What? Dean, please annihilate this man.

If I had said something like this, you'd destroy me. Just last weekend, there was Boston cream circulating the vehicle. Yeah. It got passed in my direction. No. Is that right? Okay. There's a donut place in Vancouver at, uh, there's a donut place in Buffalo called Paulus and there's biggest boom's old head. Yeah. This place in it's, uh, Granville Island,

the market there. And people are lined up outside and out the door and down the side of the building to get, uh, these donuts, which I, I think are good. I don't know that they're stand in line, wait for them good, but, uh, so I guess this falls a little. flat because I figured you were not a donut guy so for you to now have an opinion on on on a on a don't we were to draft when I was growing up the long John was the only real donut I liked that had the whipped cream inside of it just a chocolate top that's all right chocolate top and I thought it would have either a cream or a whipped cream filling oh not that I recall you can dress them up but the standard long John

does not have cream on the inside, I believe. Anyone never make the donut? No, no. Always was a big hit in the Warner Vassar combo in Frontier, Saskatchewan, when Auntie would start throwing together some donuts, get the friar. Well, she didn't get him a friar. She had a pot with oil in it.

Made them herself. What, is that right, great cheat, sneak? No. This is it. Loretta. Loretta. Loretta wouldn't do that in public. Back home, Loretta. What about the mini donuts?

You're telling me you're going to pass on those, Red? Come on. Wouldn't touch them. Oh, my God. You could. Have a great weekend, everybody. Thanks, boom. See you Monday.

See on Monday. Rett shows yours. I do enjoy the mini donuts. I do. Why? Because you don't feel as guilty. I don't know. No, I was going to say, the reason why I like the mini donuts is it's the shortest amount of time from being prepared to being eaten.

See, I think it's the sugar. It's like, oh, it's like they make that, because they're still warm. Yes. Like you don't, you never have mini donuts when they're cold. God, no. Usually you've got a bag. It's because they're still warm. They are at their absolute peak.

Yes. For consumption. That is true. You would rarely get a large donut that's still warm. The mini donuts, always piping hot. Always nice and hot. I remember one time. I saw in Kijiji, somebody was selling their mini donut trailer. I was going to buy the fucker just to have.

That was too bang or leave it out front, turn it on every Saturday. Just fire it up. Oh yeah. How hi hi sir how much for the donuts not for sale get off my lawn these are mine fo bugger off so with that said now this uh not as not as intriguing or is interesting we can take a look at the at the graphic if you were to have a donut draft and if you had the first overall No. No, not the chocolate. I'm a Boston cream guy. That was always the move. I don't do it often, but I really like the Boston cream. This is not my, this would not go.

If I was to do it, this is not even close, not even close to my list. The one I don't understand is 12, Dean, the sour cream glazed. I'm like sour cream donut, what are we doing here? And maybe they're fantastic. I just am immediately passing by that one if it's some sort of variety. box. I'm never buying that as a solo. I don't even know if I've ever had one. I think it would surprise you. It's not bad. It's cruehler-esque. Yeah. It's pretty good. The one that I have a hard time with is your number two or your number five. Double chocolate is shit. A lot of

sweet. The chocolate donut, I find always to be very hard and dry. Krusty. Dense. Very dense, which is good if it's moist, but it's never moist. That's true. Canadian maple, Boston cream, vanilla dip, maple dip. maybe the honeycruler. Dimp. Powder jelly would go ahead of the honey cruehler for me. So there's my top five right there. The Canadian maple.

Yeah. In no particular order. Boston cream. Well, come on. Try your best. Try your best to give us an order. I'll go Boston cream first. Canadian maple.

Vanilla dip. What was the one I just said? The powdered jelly. And then the maple dip. Probably. Yeah. I think you're bypassing the standard honey dip altogether, just the standard donut, glazed donut. You know what?

I'll throw the honey dip in instead of the Canadian or the maple dip because I've already got a Canadian maple in there. Yeah. And I'm with you, Dean, like the honey dip, it may be sort of the old standard, but that's like vanilla ice cream. That's still a really, that's a moist, amazing donut. Honey dips in there for me. I got Boston cream one. And I'll go with the maple for two. I don't mind that.

What about you, do you know? The honey dip, when it's, when it's good, it was hard to beat. There's not much to it, but there's not much to fuck up. It's just if it's nice, it's perfect. I'm kind of with you. Maybe it's because we've been Tim Horton, our entire life, but I find it hard to beat a good Boston cream. And because I think they sell so quickly and regularly,

chances are you're getting one that's relatively fresh. Whereas the other ones, you don't know when that was made. Was that made at three this morning? It's five in the afternoon. You don't know what you're happening. June 3rd? The hell, yeah. I love the chocolate dip growing up, but I've kind of passed it a little bit.

But yeah, it's the apple fritter. I do enjoy, son of a gun. Now, is it a donut? It doesn't have a hole in it, so I don't know. That's on the list. Hey, is anyone seeing the chat right now? Now, this is the analysis. We have come to you guys for legit content right here.

Cutting edge, guys. It's right in their wheelhouse right now on this donut draft. That's true. Yeah, this is, I mean, the Stanley Cup finals, around the corner. This is the analysis that you can really count on. The powdered jelly, now we knew them as jam busters. Ooh.

They were known as a jam buster. Okay. And it may have powder jelly or just, uh, regular sugar. They'd roll it in just your regular white sugar. Oh, okay. Different. Both very good. If you weren't careful though, much like the Boston cream, they might fuck you on how much

jam you're getting on the inside. Oh, you, they might. Yeah. You know, you take one bite, two bites. where's the jam? I'm three bites into this son of a bitch and I haven't found any jam yet. If you go two and there's nothing there,

it feels like you're getting screwed, doesn't it? You're like, is this a dud? Have I got a faulty one? Two things. Also, if you have two bites and it's all gone. Fair enough. I've had that happen. When you look down and you realize

the reservoir is gone. Yeah. These pricks are shortened me on the jam. Well, you just hit the balsai. They missed the center and you happen to, You struck oil first try. This was like Ladook in the 50s or whatever it was. Side note.

Side note. You cannot make pancakes with powdered sugar in place of flour. Really? Learned that to hard way. Learned that to hard way. It doesn't matter how much you put it in there. It won't thicken. It's the same color.

They were white. It was a white powder. It's a white powder. Don't try anything else, Rand. It was a white fine powder? It's some ground up Tylenols. This will work, right? It's white.

Yeah. And you know what? The vanilla dip is just fun. Yeah. You know, you're having a bad day. Go have a vanilla dip. Those sprinkles are all colored. What number is that?

You know the other thing, though? The other thing wrong with this whole list is there's too many. Like, there's things, I don't need 20. There's no effing way I'm going to. Toast the coconut can beat it. Seriously. No chance. Blueberry never heard of walnut crunch?

What? Walnut Crunch. See you. Yeah. Some of these. I don't. don't, they're not on the list. You know what this is like?

This is like one of those beer passport things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're like, I don't want to get to 150. Top 10, please. You know what I'm saying right now? You can take the bottom row 16 through 20 and just, are you missing anything if we crop this and it just has three rows? You're missing nothing.

Honestly, get out of here. If you're eating so many F and donuts that you have to go to the bottom of row to find a new flavor, you come on yeah and if somebody's coming out if somebody's coming out and being man i the duchy i love the duchy just leave get out of the conversation you can't trust them yeah walk away hang up the phone whatever you're doing that could be a serial killer if you like the duchy you can't be trusted that person that person owns assault rifles bodies in the basement or something strange but yeah the fuck is a cherry stick it's in the chat what the fuck is a cherry stick see row three i think you can get down with vanilla dip, maple, jelly, honey dip.

Those are almost standards. Yeah, but they're too far down. They are. Toasted coconut is shit. Awful. Even up top there. Double chocolate. I'm not doing number two, four or five.

Old fashioned plain chocolate glaze and double chocolate. Old fashion blows. Like it's a donut. It's got to be sweet. The old fashioned is not sweet. It's the four we created enough sugar, right? Did you run out? It's a pancake.

It's a shitty pancake. cake. Seriously. It's a fucking pretzel that's missing a half. Get it out of here. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. This could be a list of ten. You need ten.

Power rankings would be easy to get a top ten here. Easy cuts. This was like Darrell at training camp last year. He had his A team before they even started and all the HL team was skating together. You're like, there are no cuts. He's already made the fucking team. That's what we can do with this group. Yeah. There's a clear HL roster here.

Meanwhile, Pellche is like, I can't believe he thinks I'm the walnut crunch. That's right. I'm not walnut crunch. Sunny Milano's like, how am I supposed to make plays? I got fucking half the age. Oh, third line playing with me. Actually, I guess he'd be the Eclare, something French. Yeah.

Je me Pellicleer. So there you go. Happy national, international donut day, something like that. Sure. So you haven't had a donut in five years. Can you? He said he's in one bite every five years. Not even a single donut.

The situation I can envision it already. I'm on a golf trip and we stayed up too late and we're just, we're feeling like garbage and we're in some sort of van or vehicle back to the course and your head is just, you're near nauseous and they've stopped for a coffee and someone bought some, a pack of donuts and they're sitting there and you're just like, I need something in my guts to stop me from ralphing out the window. So it's basically last, last, last, only thing available, I'll do it. Yeah, last resort.

Last resort. Last resort. Worst case, Ontario. It's a, it would, it would be, it would be, I would have a health crisis. Yeah. There would have to be a health crisis. Blood sugars low. Yeah.

Yeah. So I'm just guessing, Retro. Growing up, you're in rural Saskatchewan and then Saskatoon, myself, rural Manitoba and then just slightly less rural. Manitoba. We did not have Tim Horton's. Really? Robbins. I was going to say what did what was the chain? Because there was a country style. But there weren't too many of those. It was Robbins donuts, right? Robbins donuts, baby. Absolutely. I think there's still

robins donuts out there. Or there was until recently. Yeah, I think there's one in Fort Capel because whenever I drive through there, they've got a like it's a robin's donuts and I'm there is one in Saskatoon for the longest of times yeah and then tim horton came in and just cut the robin cut the bird's hat off just davy keon was stealing the egg ohzy osborne yeah yeah um coming up next weekend saturday june 10th it is ufc 289 nunez versus aldana these uh these two women are going to go out of you're talking about the uh the greatest ever do it on on the women's side she is uh she got two belts she's amanda nunez She lost to Pena, but got it back, and is going to take on up and coming.

Irane Aaldana, the main event at UFC 289 as well. It'll be Charles Olivera and Boneel Daryush in the co-main event. Some people think maybe this is the main event, but either way. Those are those are the two at the top of the card. June 10th. Get it on pay-per-view UFC 289. I said to you yesterday that you're going to love this guy. Mike Malott, Canadian guy.

I think that his fight against Adam Fuget is right before the two main events. I think they're going to push great up-and-coming fighter. And I said, you're going to love this guy. He was on the mic. This was after his first. He's, I think, 9-1-1, all-time MMA, 2-0 in UFC. And after his first UFC fight, he was on the mic with Joe Rogan afterwards. And he fired out an F-bomb and then realized, oh, geez, we're on ESPN.

I should, sorry, I shouldn't swear. And then at the end of the interview, and you'll hear it here, he starts to talk about his social media account. And the crowd's starting to boom, being like, oh, don't send us to your social media. But watch the kid here. So I told you, great Canadian kid, this is why you're going to love Mike Malant. Ladies and gentlemen, referee Larry Folsom is called a stop for this contest at three minutes, 41 seconds in the very first round. the winner by TKL proper. Congratulations, sir.

I'm here with the winner Mike Malott. Mike, that's how you make a UFC debut. That was wild, and I mean, I know you've had a long career outside the Octagon and coaching as well. What does it feel like after all this to make your debut here and to make it in such an emphatic fashion? I've been waiting for this moment since 2005. I've been working toward it.

I've stayed focused and I'm just so happy that this has come to fruition. I was just some kid in Waterdown Ontario, Canada with a stubborn dream of fighting in this cage with no proof that I was going to do it. And here I am anyway. I'm not supposed to swear, Rani is the end. But you made it and you made it in a big way here. Let's take a look at how you did it. Here's a wild exchange here. You clipped up with the right and then this perfectly plays.

perfectly placed left hook. Thank you, sir. Yeah, it's pretty surreal. I felt like I was staying fairly calm. I made a couple poor decisions, but I was like, you know what, I've got lots of time, settle in. This guy's a veteran, man. I remember being jealous of Mickey when he got signed,

and I was like, damn it, man, why can't that be me? And you know what? It was an honor to share the cage with him tonight. Well, it all panned out for you, sir. You're here. You made an amazing debut. debut, congratulations. Thank you. I'd like to thank my corner, my teams in Canada and Sacramento. Guys, if I can please direct you to my Instagram, the link in my bio, someone

very close to me. His daughter was diagnosed with cancer, his 15-year-old daughter, stage 3 lymphoma. If you can please make a donation, I'm going to donate my show money from tonight, $10,000 to this foundation and help this beautiful family make it through this time and kick cancer. There you go. Mike Laot going to be part of the card at the UFC 289 taking on American Adam Fuggett and the thing it I mean he's got no money he should not be giving 10 grand that's his first fight and then in the post fight interviews Dana White was asked about it he says yeah the kid can keep his money I've got his 10 grand don't worry about it and then and then

other people I know I think it was Jake Paul and other celebrities started jumping in and then after that people were handing him envelopes of money at events and stuff. They've raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, I think, in the end. For the for the for the for the grass. I said you're going to love Mike Malott. Let's go Mike coming up next Saturday, June 10th in Vancouver. Get out there and get a ticket or if you can't get yourself some pay-per-view next Saturday UFC 289 finally back in Canada. Ontario boy went out to Dalhousie I believe Halifax was home for all. That's where going into MMA. So there's some good roots right there. Country boy and then out to the East

coast where there's no more humble and kind people in the country. Love it. And I love it. You see a hard right hand, sharp left, gets them down starts pounding him on the face. Mike, how was it? I'm just so happy to be there. Guy's a killer. UFC 289 next Saturday. Get it on pay per review. We're going to talk about, is there, so the hockey, does it start tonight? No, not tonight. What? Sorry, Red.

I had plans to go to the pub and watch the game. They're giving you an extra day to get your ass down to Florida or to get to Vegas. So I go to Florida and watch it in the pub. I could do that. I mean, they're going to be there for games three and four. Yeah. They're giving me a little travel time. Vegas.

Jason needs to drive. We know how you are with book and flights. Try to keep it simple. Yeah. Keep it as simple as possible. Outdoor dental, Dr. Jay Patel, dentistry with no needles, no drills, no stress. It's the Soleil laser. There are very few of these.

I believe it is one of two maybe in the entire city of Calgary. Excellent just in general, but if dentists just aren't your thing, then this is the key for you. It is comfortable, relaxing, pain-free. And in addition, we've told you about it for months now, the snoring treatments. It works, it's effective, it can be life-changing, two 15 minute treatments, increases the tension in the soft palate, reduces snoring,

it's non-surgical, it's pain-free. They put some topical little ointment in the back of your neck, by your neck, your throat there. And then 15 minutes later, oh, then you come back for another 15, huh, and all of a sudden, life is a whole lot better and sweeter because you're getting the quality sleep that you need. The website, Outdoor. Dental, his name, Dr. J. Patel. Great guy. Shout out's Dr. J. J. Dr. J. J. Dr. J. Outdoor dental, either give them a call, go online at Outdoor.dental, book yourself in for either the dental procedures that you need, because there's more to it than that. They're doing all kinds of things right in-house. The one thing he's done is he's really gone all out on the technology that's

available, whereas a lot of places haven't. So if you want the best treatment possible, you go and see Dr. Jay. Yeah, that's right. Hammer and chisel at your place, team? Is that, Time to switch. Is that a hacksaw? Go to sleep. Shut up. Don't worry about it. That's at every other place, but outdoor dental.

I want to do this day in history. There was a couple of things that came in. And some of it's, I mean, it's Flames history, and it's McLeod Law. They like to revisit some of the things that have happened with the Calgary Flames and being they're proud of their Calgary roots in that. This is kind of Calgary Flame-related,

but the first one goes back to on this date, the second, today is June 2nd, correct? I believe so, yeah. Not in Surney 2? 72. The expansion team in Atlanta finally got their team name. A 19-year-old college student named old

Mickey Goodman. On a contest, the team became known as the Flames. First game in the NHL, October 7th, later that year of 72 against the New York Islanders, who also joined the NHL via expansion. And you may not know this, but they actually hung on to that team name even after they were relocated to Calgary. Is that right? So they're still called the Flames.

Still to this day, Ryan. Still to this day. It's actually the only relocation where they kept the exact same name. Every other relocation in league history, they've changed the name. I think it was... More stars became stars. That's about as close as it gets. I think it was Harley Hodgis who said, you know, it works.

Soil and gas area, what's escaping? And there'd been a great fire in Calgary, I believe, as well, in the 1800s or something like that. Sure. Can't speak to that. Still with the flames and still with June 2nd. It was this date in 1980. Now, the team had been 1980, was when they moved to Calgary.

They'd already been sold. They knew they were leaving, but kind of a last ditch effort to get people excited about the flames in Atlanta. They had drafted Jim Craig. Remember him, he of the Miracle on Ice. Oh, yeah. With the Americans.

Well, you see him at a Boston, Bruins Jersey. He came to Atlanta, played four games for the Flames winning just once, and then he was shipped out to Boston. And in exchange, the Flames, Cliff Fletcher, received a second and third round draft pick. One of the picks they used on Steve Conroyd, who was a defenseman. Conroyd played five seasons in Calgary. It was later in the Richard Crom, Steve Conroyd deal for John Tenelli. that brought the wild man Tinelli to Calgary. Dick Crumb.

And the other draft pick that they got from the Bruins, they used on a smallish goaltender by the name of Mike Vernon. Oh, local kid too, Dino. Oh, I know. Love that. Jim Craig was never, he was a miracle on ice. Never really, I don't even, I guess lived up to the hype. I don't know what you'd call it.

But certainly Vernon, I believe he went. on to win Stanley Cups and multiple cups and jersey up in the rafters and all that sort of thing that's all on this day it's a lot Dean for the for June I thought there'd be more although season slows down it's June too I

they yeah McLeod Law proud of their Calgary roots big part of their longstanding client relationships they understand this city and the people in it and the way that things work like the communities that they serve, McLeod Law, their team varied and diverse, sharing a strong commitment to making a positive impact on our city. Whatever your legal needs, and I know that sounds very broad and kind of cheesy, but it's true. Whatever your legal needs, because they are a full service law firm, they will help you in any way, shape, or form. McLeod-dashlaw.com. All over social media, there's Peter Klein, personal injury lawyer.

Great guy. Beauty. The cloud law. There you go. How is the Pinder Report looking today? What do we? 14 items. So that's a pretty standard.

That's in the center of the Bell Curve Dean, which we love to talk about the PIN report. Anything donut related? No, no. We moved donuts to the front of the queue because I figured it would be silly for me to be the expert on that. And we do like to talk food off the top of the show. So you're in your car, obviously, in Toronto. In Toronto? In Toronto.

In Toronto. I'm sure if you can see, it's pretty bright out there, but there's a tower, water tower over there. I see. So not the, is it a tower tower or the? No, no, no. It's a water tower. I see. Yeah.

You're going to paint your name on it? John Deer Green. That's right. And what are you, kid hockey, he said? Of course. And you know, some of these parents like to drink. Really? They like to drink people.

It's nice out. I understand that. But the tailgating is quite excessive. Aggressive? Quite. Yes. How early are we starting? What are we talking about?

Also, also, two occasions yelled at kids yesterday that weren't my own. Really? It takes a village, Rhett. Yeah. Two kids. Yeah. Two kids were puck hogs. So he started, make sure, yelling.

Make sure you don't. pass as they skated up. Also some sarcastic yelling even. Yes. Yeah. And then some other kids were up much too late for a 6 a.m. wake up, ramrodding around the hotel. They got a piece of them.

That's a good verb. Ramrodding. So is it exhibition games, tournament? Tournament. Big tournament. And we've already excelled compared to the last time we were in Toronto where we scored one goal in four games. Oh.

Three goals. in the first game for a tie. Wow. You can put it in the tie column. Look out. Undefeated. The red ninjas. Well, and it's nice that they've got a chaperone that can show them how to behave on the road

and what kind of standard has to be upheld when you're representing a team in another city. Leadership, Brian. Yeah. Leadership. So are you the curfew police? Is that your role with the team? You just have to see this. They were in the room right beside me, the little.

shitheads. And did you give them shit? And they doubled down on it because I yelled out, I just poked my head, I was, hey, boys, quiet down, hey? Close the door. Made it back to the bed,

didn't even make it into the bed, and the noise level went up. And I thought, me, oh, they're going to mock me, are you? So then the hammer came down. Yeah. Choke slam. I'm going to bench you, your little. Yeah.

So how is the Red Ninjas? Is that a new name every year that we selected? Oh, I think that's a Buffalo staple. I think it's a spring team name. Is that right? Wow. Well, we'll keep our eyes open for any Red Ninja updates from Toronto over the course of the weekend. Yeah, feel free to share on social, Red.

We're at the Leaf's practice facility. I don't know what you're living would be walking around, but I guess he's already a, he's already a bud. He can't be part of the General Pop. He's down giving a back rub to Austin Matthews. He's in Scottsdale. He's putting suntan oil on his shoulders. There's like what, four rinks there, right?

It used to be called the old MasterCard Center or something like that. Yeah. It's a pretty nice pursuit. Let's do the Pinder Report presentation of Village Honda. Get your piece of the million dollar buy an event. It's cash. Don't you love cash? I do.

It's your used vehicle. that's what they want. They're paying top dollar. They'll throw in a tropical cruise to boot. Find out more online at village honda.com. It's village honda with the Pinder report. All right, fellas, we start with some Calgary Flamesy News and yes, it's exactly what Dean said.

1962, the flames were born. Look at that photo. Beautiful. Young men. That's how cameras worked back then? Holy shit, that was a long time ago. Jeez. Two guys there. It's 50 years ago. Holy crap.

What are they? Jim Puck's one of them is the donkey that won the contest. Boots Del Bajosio and Jim Puckworth. Okay. Finals get going tomorrow, Rhett. I'm sorry it's not today. Here's what we have. Hey, look at this.

You know how the flames are watching the Panthers thinking, damn it, how do we lose all these guys? The Lamborghini, Sam Bennett, superstar Matthew Kachuk. Well, maybe the Panthers are doing that with the Vegas Goldenies? Yeah, probably not. But it is funny that two-thirds of the top line after the expansion draft were gifted from Florida. Here they are against the roll club.

Been a while, Dean, five years now. And that was the publicized protecting of Mark Petrovich. Is that how that team to be? Alex Patrick, yeah. Was it pretty decent A.HL defensemen, to be fair. But these two, a little higher pedigree at this point. The story on experience, Rhett, I know we like to talk about guys that have got it done before

that know what it takes to win. Here's Florida. They've got a couple stalls that have lifted a cup. Also Carter Verhege, the former Lightning as well, is played in a Stanley Cup final. Eric with 12 games, 5 for Mark Stahl, Carter with 3. As for the goal to Knights, a few more guys, if you think about it. Certainly guys that have played in the final, this team in 2018 lost. But Chandler Stevenson with Washington played against Vegas in one.

Petrangelo with those blues that were last place in the league in January, riding Psycho Jordan Bennington to a cup in 2019. Jonathan Quick is on the bench not playing, but he won twice in L.A. Barbashev was in St. Louis with Patrangelo as well, and Alk Martinez was also with Quick in L.A. And, of course, physical Phil Kessel, twice with El Pinguino winning a cup. There's some winners there. We always said it. Phil Kessel winner.

Physical Phil playing? He played three games in the Winnipeg series, I believe, three or four games and not since. But he's got to. No, well, I hope he wins. I don't get your ring. It's enough. Third ring, holy. Imagine Phil had a mittful of rings, like three of them.

That's like, who. That's three. That's a full five. Well, I just mean, like, how many guys in this era of like the 28 to 32 team league can say they got three? That's not many. How many guys? Like the Chicago guys and a few Pittsburgh guys, that's about it. That'd be incredible.

Get the finals three times. Chris Kuhnitz had four, maybe? That's like modern day peak. Okay, we'll keep moving. Not a lot in hockey. They really like to slow this down and kill all the momentum. Congrats, guys. Awesome work.

We'll go to the Memorial Cup. Last night was the tie break game. It was Peterborough who had struggled mightily but beat Quebec Rampart for their only loss of the round robin. Against the hosts and Cameloupes. Let's go to, well, quite an exchange here. Big hit. Oh, dear. That's two guys off to the dressing runs.

Two-thirds of the top line that Chase Stillman destroyed on his own. Yes, that's the son of Corey, the brother of Riley. Wow. So big hit. You're then an instigator for the Camloops player. And you're also going to get the boom lowered on you. Ooh. Stillman.

That's more physical than I remember the old man. Although I think Riley's can be a bit physical. Riley is the other. Yeah, Riley got punched out by the. went to from Nashville to Janot. Tanner Janot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not good. Not good.

So the Peds up against it have won two games in a row to get through to the semi-final. Here's what it looks like. They're going to play the WHL champion Seattle Thunderbirds. And then the winner will face Quebec who's waiting in the final. Pat Roy just storming around staring at people. Just waiting for this game.

He's stewing. What are you looking at? What are you looking at? Except in French. How do you say? What are you looking at French? Columbus. Columbus for Pat Roy. Columbus. Oh. So this is not a boomer's rumor.

It's a retulation, speculation from rent. Yeah. It's reckless. I love it. I love reckless ret speculation. That's what we need in the Pinda Report. They do have an opening. Patty Waugh is going to take down whoever's the GM, though, right?

Because he wants to run the whole thing. He wants to be like 04 Darrell. He's not into getting marching orders. He wants to be GM. manned head coach. That's why it ended so sour in Colorado. He had this eye player personnel. Okay. This is a lot of words. It's a word salad there. Thank you. Rhett, did you ever feel like you're getting screwed in the NHL as a pro athlete? Because I know the NFL only plays 16 games shorter year. Magic baseball, it's 162,

but it's like every day. NBA similar. Check this out from Jay Kuda, my favorite baseball tweeter. Only bangers. Look at your Offseason. Look at the white. NHL occupiers of the shortest offseason of any of the big four sports. Criminal, Rhett. It's true. It is criminal.

Unless you're missing the playoffs in the majors, that is, you have the shortest off season as an NHL player. Didn't really think of it that way. Why do you think Giordano's played for 40 years? Must be easy. They're playing in playoffs. All kinds.

Six months of work. That's a weird place. Six months for work. How have you not? chase down Brad Treliving to force a geo trade at this point. You're already in the same city as him. You've been working on this for a decade.

Can't train him. You know what? He's not even going to... He's going to be working beside Triliving. He'll be a special assistant. He's got one year left at 800. Special assistant to me. Well, money.

I get it. Okay, we'll move on. NBA final game one last night. Sorry, Rhett. Yokich was just sensation. dunk last night at one point. Big dunk. Let's take a peek at the nose.

There's Jamal Murray, the Canadian. You can't be that big and shoot it that nice. And be a great passer, and it's defend. Ugh. They're loving it in Denver, Rhett. They didn't mind time off. They were just fine. That's fair.

It's because they're used to. How was their goal? Was their goalie, Rusty? We've got to make our picks letters today. I need to know. I thought, yeah, the heat penalty kill was... Could have been better. Room for improvement, Dean.

It's early in the series. Regression, right? Sweep. Oh, dear. That would suck. We saw the dugout cheer for the Detroit Tigers after a home run from like a month ago, and Rhett didn't like it.

It was cheesy. They were using a hockey stick and a helmet, shooting a puck in the dugout. What do we think about the Richard bump here? Because that's what I think we need to call this in Boston. Let's try that again. that's after a home run last night again Cincinnati.

Tense 2-2 game in the late stages rips one into the seats and that's how you celebrate. That's a Richard on Richard crime right there. That's how they're celebrating rats. Public display of affection. PDA right there. Team mates are very close, very close.

Let's go to the CPL Cavary. I see we've talked about it. They got forged this weekend. It is indigenous people celebrating. celebration game tomorrow 2 p.m. at Echo Field. Here's Mason Trafford. We've been working really hard on this one with ACCO, who's presenting partner of this match. And it's something we really want to knock out of the park. And I think everything's aligning really nicely. Beautiful weather scheduled. Obviously Cavalry versus Forge is sort of a marquee matchup in this league. And there's always fireworks with

this game. It really is the marquee matchup, I think, in the first five years at CPL. Two top managers, two great footballing teams that are fun to watch, just going head to head. Like, there's passion, right? Like, that's what really football and soccer is all about. It's about, like, the passion for your city for your club. It's, uh, it's emotional. And when you're here on the grounds, like, it's like an emotional sport that way. And it where you can really feel it.

All right. Big one. Tomorrow, two p.m. Here's a look at the table. Forged at the top, right? Now that was Mason. That's Mason Trafford. Yes.

Did you, I, I was just noticing how professional and nicely dressed Mason was. I was. And Pinder looked like. like he was getting ready to be dragged behind a boat on an inner tube or something. Well, I was asking if they had any empties around, but it was very tidy as it always is. It's Bruce Meadows. You guys keep all the empties. Oh, okay.

You're, yeah. Okay, geez. Was it cool out or do you wear that in plus 36? Do you have any full ones? I can make some empties if you don't have any empties. Two o'clock tomorrow. Indigenous People's Celebration match should be a good one. You can see Forge at top of the table, Calvaries and Fourth, a big one.

And finally, a couple throwaways for the weekend. Friday. You and Rob Ray were doing a bunch of errands in Buffalo, and I don't know if this is the shoveler following you or someone that was just nearby, but they caught you on camera trying to run some errands in Buffalo. And it looks like the first one, there's a huge, like, it's either a flower pot or a vase. And I feel like you needed a piece of machinery to help you, but this is you and Rob trying to load it up into Rob's truck. I guess he's doing some decorating or he's moving something to the doghouse. He's got all these rental properties. Yeah. So this is probably downtown Buffalo.

A lot of soil to fill that up. Trying to move this. I don't know where we're taking it, but it looks like you were at right there. And Rob's on the other side. It's a really small truck. Long arms there, yeah. Razors felt like we had this under control. And it's weird you didn't ask anyone to help because it does look very heavy.

And I know Rob thinks is tough. It gets bothered by too many people. So that didn't work, but we tried this one. Somebody's holding the camera, right? They could have asked the camera guy to. Yeah, seriously. The shovelers being ignorant thinking she's funny. This camera's what she's.

So we're trying this way now. We're going to on its side, right? I'm going to try and roll it. I think that's got a chance. Well, we used to be professional athletes. Come on, guys. A couple years back, we'd have had this. Well, bad shoulders.

Okay, now we got it. Here we go. It's the loading duck. Finally got it. Come on, Rob. Come on, Redd. You got it. Hey, you did it, guys.

Oh, shit. You should have. The cleanup was worse than the... No kidding. And he needed that for the... Razor's doghouse, it was going to be really central to the new decorating. So back to square one. And then I guess he was cleaning out another area.

This might be by Rob Ray's garage as there's some old tires stacked up that we're trying to move. So I think this is just either you or Rob, you'll have to tell me. It's a little grainy. But this is another errand you guys were running here. Oh. Do you walk us through this, please? Well, there's poor, poor Rhett trying to,

He's going to load some... Trying to help. There's no rim in the tire, so you can just kind of fire those onto the truck. And as Rick kind of turns us back, and the tire kind of tips over, lands on his shorts, and, you know, rubber. It's kind of, it's grippy.

It's sticky. It pulled your shorts right down to your ankles and then you had a slip and fall. And while the belt kept, remember I brought it up a few weeks ago where those belts that you can switch sides, they're both-sided, but it pitches your belly.

fat and belly hair so I got rid of the belt so I didn't have nothing to keep them up. That tire, quite a scamp. What a practical joker that tire. Tough weekend for you and Rob. I'm not helping raise her anymore. I'm done with that. No, you shouldn't. Yeah. Tell him to get out of his sweatpants. Meet for coffee. No more errands. That's your... He doesn't have

the safety protocols in place that I require. Yes. Yeah. That's your Pinder Report for Village Hondo. Brought to you by Village Honda. You've heard it, you've heard us talk about it for a while. Paying top dollar. Their money is where their mouth is. is a million dollars to do it sell them your vehicle tropical cruise for two find out more at village honda dot com they are located in the northwest automobile if you want to stop by and of course

they are your dealership for life what is rob doing during the summer do you see much of walking around in his sweatpants yeah what it's hot for sweatpants does he have sweats shorts i'll tell you what remember when you were addicted to that game on your phone a few years back dean Candy Crush? That's what Razor's doing. No. He's addicted to a game on his phone. I sat with him at the rink the other day for an hour,

and he would answer questions, but he wasn't talking to me. You know what I mean? Yeah. Maybe he's bored with you. That possible. Yeah. I thought maybe you guys would be hanging around.

I thought you guys were thick as thieves. Don't drink anymore, so he's no fun. I see. Vinova, Calgary's last. Lab-grown diamond specialists. We've been telling you about lab-grown diamonds. I don't think anyone's even buying real diamonds anymore. They've heard us talking about it.

They're like, way over the future, Dan. I'm not looking to get hoodwinked here by the, by big diamond. I'm not looking for that. I want to be smart and savvy. A diamond lobby can frig off. That's right. They're looking to screw you.

Not these guys. The only store in Calgary that specializes exclusively in lab-grown diamonds. Lab-grown diamond, what is it? it's been grown in a lab, obviously. Same chemical composition and crystal structure as a natural earth mine diamond. However, the savings are astronomical, 50, 60, sometimes 80% less than what you'll pay

for one of those dumb things that they dig out of the ground. This one's been made in a lab, science people. Science. If you're getting engaged and you need a ring, this is the only way to do it, because the women they love the rings right it's oh so you got it's the first thing every all everybody so can i see the ring show me the ring you want to have pop right you want to say yes if it's just your ugly bug staring at her so you need something to distract her eyes from you

my god you're so lucky i can't oh must love me yeah that's the kind of reaction you get when you get one of those big honkin Vina Nova lab grown diamonds. Either way, I mean, it's just making more and more sense. 80% less, better quality diamond. Why wouldn't you? Vena Nova, downtown showroom on the second level of Stephen Avenue place, or you can go online, you see it there. Vena Nova, V-E-N-A-Nova.com.

Lab-grown, get your lab grown here. So a rumor has it. tomorrow the Stanley Cup finals is going to begin. Boomer has it. Boomer has it. They are going to be in Vegas. The last time, Rhett,

that the Florida Panthers were in a Stanley Cup final would be when? 96. 1996. It was a different time then. Different game. How many cell phones did you have? Two burners?

Oh, I'd never even heard of a cell phone. the cell phones came in those big packs it was a car phone they'd take up the whole console like a backpack yeah very expensive you were a veteran team but yet a lot of youth

does that be fair some young guys but really yeah we I think we had this photo from earlier this year but this is the young hooligans that the Florida Panthers

had collected look at that clean cut young man from front Volunteer Saskatchewan. Holy shit. In the November edition of Breakaway magazine, which apparently was the program. Looks like you're playing the Flyers that night.

Florida's fabulous freshman. How about this photo shoot? Doug McLean, David Nemerowski, Radic Dvorak, or Dvorzac, Ed Jovanofsky, and number 45,

Red Warner. That's an awkward number 45. Michael Jordan. I've told you this before. That's the second number, not as good one. Yeah. This is first number. So you're in class there.

You're in a classroom. I don't recall going to the school, but yeah, it looks to be like I should have stayed in school. That was the last time you were in school, if I'm correct, wasn't it? Oh, I go to get my kids when they get kicked out of school. Okay. And look at Jovo. That is some young Jovo and young animal. Wow.

Nice. You got a little bit of a mullet going there? and start playing hockey until he was 12. That's wild. Seven years later, NHL. First over. Is he got some flow at the back there? Am I seeing some?

I was going to say, so does Nemerowski at the front there. You're looking at the Radford's shorn. Murawski, sound two weeks ago. Big Dave. What's he doing? Collecting bottles? Coaching in the K.H. Really?

Yellow stories. Holy shit. Sounds lovely. It's breathtaking this time here. And of course, Dougie McLean was with SportsNet, I believe, what did he get let go or leave? It was a couple years ago.

That was part of the purge, right? When they gasped a bunch of people. And he is living his best life. East Coast. Florida, or he's in P.E.I. It's beach. Wherever he is, he's got sand in his crack. He's got a nice thing going.

He does. Good for him. Yeah. Yeah, being retired and just living your best life. Moving from beach to beach, dependent on weather. Lovely. Yeah. So that's the last time, which does feel like a while ago for the Florida Panthers.

Times have changed. They are taking on the Vegas Golden Knights. They've been. Yeah. Back to the Cup final. They were there year one. They are back again. Year five.

Uh, I don't know that you need motivation when you make it this far. If you're a pro, you don't need to be motivated. For a static cup? You don't need it. No, you don't need it. I want, you're going to get a ring. That's why people are tuning in. Yeah.

No, you don't need to be motivated. This is what you play for. You're not getting paid. Players don't get paid to play in the playoffs. But in case the Vegas Golden Knights, if it wasn't enough, there's a little extra incentive for the Vegas Golden Knights. If they win the Stanley Cup, the Hustler Club, has offered Golden Knights free lap dances for life if they win the Cup.

Is that great? The Hustler Club, yeah. Very fancy, must say. You just build it into your game day routine. You get coffee on the way out the door, drop the kids at school, go to the Hustler Club, get your free lapper, and then off to the rink. That's every day. Build it into your ritual. How much for a little space in the VIP area?

No VIP area. Okay. I guess we'll just sit down wherever then. So there you go. It's really just a sensational. That's what we always say. Cup, schmup. Good marketing

I haven't said that a lot. Yeah. When's Cassandra coming by? You got to get the cup first or Cassandra ain't stopping by. That's right. No, that's the other thing.

It's not like a hey, guys. Even if you don't, if you don't win, we'll give you lap dances for life. That would be a nice consolation price. We think you're great people, so we'll just take care of you no matter what. No, that's not

succeed in here. Here are, and I guess we can do our picks. Here's the odds. I'm actually going to use this later for the Betway bets of the day. I showed this the other day. This is, as of this morning on the Betway app, Vegas, the favorite, obviously. They have home ice advantage.

That has not mattered to Florida one bit. No. In fact, that next bet down would be a very interesting. This would be the first time ever. Like, because Florida beat one. The first place, the top three teams in the East, right? And then they beat the number one team again? Yeah, it's because I had a whole kind of listed things here.

They, search of the championship final. It's going to be a first time champion, as we know. They have an eight, they've won 15 overtime, road teams have won 15 overtime games. As for the Panthers, they've won eight straight on the road. which is really kind of unbelievable that you would win eight on the road, let alone have a winning streak.

But yeah, it's the Panthers became the third team, sorry, in league history to eliminate three of the NHL's top four teams in the same postseason. Got a chance to eliminate the fourth. Yeah. Not too shabby. I hope those days off aren't going to kill you because I feel like it's too many.

Sergei, Sergey Bobrovsky made 72 consecutive saves against Carolina in the East Final between game two and game four. He has been, as great as Kachuk has been, it's hard to believe, but I feel like Bobrovsky would be the Kahn-Smith guy if you picked it today.

A lot can change in the next four to seven games, but I'll let you know when this one's over. Yeah. Kachuk was only in on every game-winning goal. goal against the Carolina hurricanes. So with that said, I was going to say we could do our picks, but I see somebody, yeah, whatever, let's do it anyway. Well, I know which, I know which way you're going because I've been right because you have been. But is if you take off your Pantero Jersey, are you, what, what's your gut saying? They're in the Stanley Cup finals and it's hard to say this.

I've never trusted Vegas that they were that good. No, I know. Right? Like they were in first. And I'm like, yeah, but are they any good? And they win the first series. Yeah, but are they any good? Like, they're going to get wiped out by high-flying oilers.

Then they beat the oils. Yeah, but are they any good? And same with that. So, I mean, I'll stick with my Panthers, obviously. I still, but I am a little bit. concerned with the 10 days off or however long it was total like i just that's a lot of time to sit around when you're a team that's playing with momentum i'm in that same that same boat because i catch myself oh it's goaltending it's bobrowski versus aiden hill well that's a that's a

aden hill has been as good as any goaltender could have been as what he led him maybe what one bad goal two bad goals since he took over when brossoe got hurt he's one series his number are great. It has not mattered. And I'm with you. I look at them and I feel like they're okay. They're in the Stanley Cup again. If it wasn't such a long layoff, I would be, I would go with the Panthers, but I just feel like it is, they had such a thing going. And it was that routine. And you can speak to it. We can't. As a fan, you kind of get into it. But as a player, it's game day. day travel day game day practice day game that whole thing that you get into once you've got in that rhythm i think it's got to be real hard once you get out of it and you can have a couple

days here and there but this they went from seven game series to four games sweep that's hard yeah i'm like the aden hill thing is crazy but so is the sergey brabrovsky thing like bob has the name but he hasn't been much better than aden hill the last four years like he's been very replacement level despite the 10 million. They're both out of their minds right now. Hill started nine games. He's won seven of them. He's got two shutouts.

The guy has been excellent. And you look at his numbers and be reminded that of those nine games he started, you know, a significant number we're against the Oilers. This is not a Winnipeg team that he was stymying. That was a different set of goalies at that point. I'm going to go with Vegas. I'm worried about what you guys are worried about. I think it's real.

Florida's got all those vibes. And then you just can you hit pause for 10 days? and pick right back up where you were? I feel like it's hard to do. And most importantly, when a goalie's dialed in, can he? Because I don't know that they're anywhere near where they're at, if not for Bob. Like, they probably don't get past Toronto. He is your front runner, I think, for the Khan Smyth.

Kachuk could be a conversation. But I just worry about Bob more than Kachuk. I worry about a goalie in the zone that's got to sit for 10 days and not have games. So, yeah, so you got Vegas. I'm going Vegas, so, yeah. sorry, I'm going Vegas also, which is funny because I have my Betway bats coming up. It's just there isn't a lot of value in Vegas, but I think I do. I, I, it's the layoff and Vegas has never been as good as I've given them credit for.

There was a, there was a real potential to shit themselves against Dallas. Yeah. And they didn't, right? They lost what, the one game in overtime. Yep. And they got thumped and had too many turnovers. and then they went 6-0. See you.

They've avoided banana peels the entire way. They're a pretty deep and good team. I said it last, Chandler-Sthewanson, pretty friggin good hockey player. Eichols come on. I'm going Vegas. I don't know how many games.

Six or seven. Let's hope it's a good long series. I could get into it. Panthers at six. They're going to lose the first one because they're going to be flat. They're going to win three in a row. They're going to lose the fifth in Vegas.

Wow. Win it at home. Parte on the beach. Brett, there's a lot of details there. This feels like he's back to the future. He's got all these little things that we, how would you even know? That's amazing. I'll say long series.

Let's go seven. Why not? We've earned it. I feel like we've earned a seventh game, haven't we? After these miserable round three, 30, 30, come on now. Give us something a little tastier than that. So let's, I don't want to take too much time because I know we got stuff. We're good.

I know where you are. ask you, Ryan, if, so that's, the Vegas Golden Knights have just won the Stanley Cup. You wake up the next morning and it's, so Vegas is your cup winner. Yeah. What's going through your head? Oh, man. Because they have been a bit of a villain in a lot of people's eyes. And it feels like it's the second or third iteration of this team. It's not the expansion team. Like, yes, you still got your Carlson, Marshall, Mars or so Riley Smith, but, you know, Petrangelo was a massive free agent. You know, they've gone to the scrap heap and got a goalie hawed, but Robin Lennar and before that, it was Mark under Florey, Nate Schmidt's gone.

Like a lot of these faces of the franchise were jettisoned out of there. They've shown no loyalty. And they went from like, wow, what a great team. You know, I'll cheer for Vegas in 2018 because what a great story it is. And that's changed very quickly to, man, they got no loyalty. They're an older roster too. They've moved every single first rounder, I think, with the exception of one and don't write that off yet.

Like they are in win now mode. I kind of look at that roster and think this is their best shot. Yeah, Retro, I was just saying because Vegas has been the black hat for a number of years, if they win this thing and then you have your Monday morning quarterback and you sit back and do you respect how they went at it and how picks be damned? Let's go get the best players and we're here to win. We're not here to build slowly or how do you feel? You have to because you win. There's nothing.

You win. I was talking to a guy today at breakfast, the kids, because I was thinking about it last. night. 32 teams in the league. It's been 89's last time. The Flames won. The Rangers won in 94 to finally get rid of that 50-some plus year. 56. Drought.

32 teams. And if a team wins three in a decade, like this decade, it's been Tampa, L.A. Chicago, Pittsburgh. Chicago. Like, you can go a lifetime without winning. So, yes, they won.

Whoever wins, you win. There's nothing else. Flags Fly Forever is the expression in baseball. So whatever you had to do, whatever trade you had to make, it may not have been great on paper, but if it results in a championship, you can justify the hell out of it because nothing matters more than titles.

It's like you trade Brett Hall to get a defensive defenseman. You win the cup. Flags fly forever. Justify it. And then on the other side, old Chuckie. We'll talk about it next week. game one goes tomorrow and then game two will be played on Monday. But I'm,

I am looking forward to it. I know there's a lot of people and so it's kind of whatever. No one's going to watch. The ratings are going to be blah. I think the hockey's going to be good. I think, well, yeah, and you know what? Everyone's going to be outraged about everything anyway.

So just, yeah. Thoughts and prayers to the people that this has ruined their life, that these two teams have won, you know, the requisite 12 to get to the Stanley Cup final. We're sorry. I just hope you can get through these tough times. Yeah, way that's coming up. I want to tell you one more time.

heading into the weekend, you're thinking about, oh, getting out on the golf course. Get that plan in place. If you haven't already planned your summer trip out to St. Eugene yet, do it this weekend. St. Eugene.orgia. They're on social media at St. Eugene Resort, the championship golf course,

the casino, the spa, the restaurants, mountains, whatever it is that maybe you love golf and you want to golf every minute, do it. Maybe love the area, maybe go for a round of golf. That'd be good. And, you know, just shopping, hiking, whatever. That works too. It's all there waiting for you. Rediscover or discover for the very first time, the St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino.

Once again, there you see the website, st. eugene.ca. Heijin. Uh, he a gene. Uh, so yeah, the Betway Betts, we will do these on the way out here. My bets will be a somewhat different than, uh, you could, you know, it's, you're looking for value. Mm-hmm. We're, we're betting here.

So the Betway Betts, get the Betway app in your phone. Bet along. Be responsible. Bet the responsible way with Betway. The odds were in favor of the Vegas Golden Knights. Big time. Minus 134 you just showed us, right? For the series one. Yeah.

Plus 110 for the Florida Panthers. So I'll take the Florida Panthers and... Ooh. There we go. Plus 110. I'm going to roll the dice with the betting odds in mind that they're going to like that break. They're going to be just fine.

They have looked, they've been, who have they beaten along the way? Everybody is basically what you need to know. The best of the best. Plus 110. I'll take the Panthers for a hoot and I'll say seven games plus 200 because I do think it's going to be a long series.

Lovely. I've got a little baseball. I've also got some hockey. Con Smyth odds are up at Batway and I'm telling you, Aiden Hill's not the front runner now, but if Vegas wins and he keeps playing

well, 12 to 1 doesn't make sense. That number's too big. Like a goalie in a final, he's got seven wins and nine starts. You're telling me he's 12 to 1. Get the plate out of here. I'm taking that for him to shine if they win and hey, pick up that lovely trophy to make me 12 to 1. Tonight, Verlander and Bassett, it's Bassett against his old club. The Mets in Queens, plus 350 if they both

hit 6Ks. Basset has been spectacular at times. two rough starts. The rest have been superb. You had what that nearly 30-inning shutout streak going on. And Verlinder is Verlander. So that's my other bet for Betway. There you go. Betway, that's the day for our buddies at Betway.

We are going to run. Rett's got a tournament to win. Go Red Ninjas. Yeah, Red Ninjas. We've got stuff to do. And we want everybody to have a great weekend. We'll be back on Monday. And by then we'll know who took game one and get ready for game two of the Stanley Cup final.

How is? A great weekend, everybody. Oh, do you. Go Cats? Yeah. It's missing the Go Cats. He tried it one day and quit. Yeah.

See you, buddies. Lazy prick.
