Hello, buddies. Welcome to the Wednesday edition of the show. It's Wednesday? It is Wednesday. Love a good hump day. I hope nobody out there feels inspired. Folks. Don't tell them that. Don't give it away.

We're actors. We can portray. I'm not an actor. We can portray three people who are energized and raring to go today. Do you want to give us an FM DJ super positive 10 second throw to us? That was it. That was as positive. That was good as you can do.

Okay. Hey, it's Barnberger. It's brought to you by Bet365 this season. Play to win early. Bet365, the home of winning early. Super chats on the show today. Money that comes in. It'll go to the youth centers of Calgary.

They'll put it as a good use. And then, of course, we'll put your comments on the show. We might even do it throughout the show today. Who say, you know? we are coming up on another anniversary of doing the show, which is we're going to have another annual total to announce for the U. Centers of Calgary. Great cause.

There you go. Thank you, loyal viewers. I thought you were going to say you got us something nice because you loved this. Yeah, I did. Got you sick. So you're welcome. How long is it you're,

I said, you're kind of hanging on like I was last spring? No. So last week I got, I was sick. It was no plan. I was sick the week before. And then, yeah, right. And it tailed into last week.

I was fine again and then I went in Florida with Jerry O's cell for a night. No, I'm just hung over. Oh, hungovers. No, you're sick, mad. You sound sick. All right. It's not a hangover. And if you're that hungover, quit.

Quit being hungover. Yeah, so keep drinking. That's what you're saying. It's only one way to not get hungover. You never get out of it. You're never in it. I feel like that was one of those things when I was like 20. I would have agreed with.

We'll just keep going going. Obviously. Get up and get back out of the dog, man. Let's keep on going. Jack, let's go get a drug. I'm already dizzy. I could have done nothing. Are you okay?

I'm dealing with dizzy spells. I might croak right on the shirt. Oh, there's no crook. Can you imagine the ratings? Oh, wow. The viewings. Yeah, if you know what that's going to happen and you give us a heads. You could really.

I can't imagine what Dickhead Jack would do with. Oh, geez. D-head? Oh, yeah. Some of the. Jack. Oh, it's my job. Pinder with a killer tape today on.

barn burner as you go tumbling down. Yeah. Yeah. We could use some viral. I mean, last week was good. We had we had, we had a lot of, we had a lot of good traction on the show last week. It'd be a great way to get it going.

Well, that people would be tuning in tomorrow to see if anybody else dies. But then we're going to mistrat the rest of the time. Like, Kim dying would be great for ratings, but then he'd be gone. Yeah, there's lots of people. We'll just find somebody else. We'll kill them.

Just who's dying on the show today? Who is dying on the show? Right. This is the McLeod Law LLP studios, macloud-dashlaw.com. And we tell you about it. They're in Calgary, they're Calgaryans, they live among us, they're good people, they're normal people,

they just happen to be the very best of what they do in the field of law. And another couple of litigators of the year, board winners. Look at this. Yes. Newly ranked Best Lawyers in Canada. Congrats to Lindsay and our buddy Austin. Lindsay's a heck of it.

a goalie as well. I, I am a referee for the partners against the non-partners hockey game at McLeodlaw every year. She stops the puck. Very good. Very good. Urquieu not to be allowed to play. They asked politely and I said, you know what? I love McLeod Law. I'll go to do it.

Redd'll probably make fun of me for doing it. So Lindsay was in the, I know how you feel about golf sims, but they had the golf simulator over at their office. She was ripping it. Really? And Austin is just, I mean, He's just an all-out duty. Do they deal with slander?

Liable? Probably. I don't know what either of them are. Well, slander. Jack, he'll be getting a... Slander sounds worse than libel. Liable sounds like it could be just something, but I feel like that's not the case.

I'm getting to what? You get up to your ears and some libel. I'm going to contact McLeod Law for the slander and libel that you... Yeah, you should. I don't know if you're going to win that one. I'll bring it on. Okay. I got McLeod Law.

I'm not so why? Can you use the same law firm? has Rets got that retainer? That might be the tiebreaker, right? Might be. Yeah, might be. No noodles today. Apologies across the board?

After all my bragging. I know about how he always shows on this. Great. The Ottawa senators are playing the Toronto Maple Leafs. He has a game today. It's a game day. He can't make it. Who cares?

I mean, they're going to be playing games for the next six months. This is going to be an issue? I don't know. I don't know. Just today. Oh, they're playing a game. Shit. today it was for I didn't ask.

He said, how about, is there another day we can do us? How about Thursday? That'd be great. Sweet. We'll take it. Yeah. So tomorrow, some Thursday noodles. It should be all right.

Yeah, like that. Speaking of Toronto, you're back. Yeah. Flight last night landed about 10. Is it a long flight or is? It is. And it's longer coming home because you're against the jet stream. It's like four hours back.

Usually like three. Just long enough. It's just a little. Always feels. so long. No. You're so excited. Yeah. There or there. Wherever you're going. Yeah. You get there. It's like,

why am I here? I don't like it here. It's way too big. It's two to people. It's been terrible. Yeah. You tried to go down the alley of why didn't they send rat? And I'm like, you think rat was going to go to Toronto, eight hours of travel and four hours of airports? Yeah. No. Not a chance. They never contact. No, because they know the answer. Yeah. They never. I got an odd text.

yesterday actually. Did you? I did. From somebody that thinks they're high up on the food chain. Is that right? Yeah. Well, dear. Somebody that thinks they're high up on the food chain. Well, they probably are high. Was it, uh, do they live in Toronto?

No, no, they're honks. Is it, uh, oh, they live in Edmonton. Is it the mayor? Because you've been taking runs at him the last week's. Farcas gave you call? Public service announcements. Oh, dear. All you people listening.

email, send them out note, something, and tell all your city councilors to get their heads out of their hoops and do a better job. Okay. Not just you, Farcas. It's all of you. Yeah, there you are, see?

You can't single equal opportunity. That was very nice. Yeah. It's up to us. The public. Hold their feet to the fire. Almost like a constructive criticism. You'll be good if you got your head out of your hoop.

It's like one of those. You can really say how or what that meant, but, well, there's a lot of money that goes out. the door and then our taxes keep going that way and we get the same I wanted to have it so the kids listening would that's right yeah yeah that for those just listening that was me not me with the soundboard no that was that was authentic red sound effects are very good that was very good now I don't know who would have reached out in about what somebody who thinks they're high on the tone and pull from the well yeah hawk group up there

some heavy negotiate and go and get into it we'll get into it there was a match at the dome last night last one in the precee like a steel cage match like no it was justy the body versus no it was not king con grudy barbber beefcake no paul orndorff i think the entertainment value was in that same stratosphere though electric atmosphere really just places buzz them yeah it was we talked about yesterday on the show the flames aside from their backup netminder that was your line was kind of what is going to look like when the game start mattering in a weekish. Not even kind of like if that's it. Yeah, that's basically it.

The Canucks, I don't profess to know a whole lot about what they're going to trot out on opening night, but I'm not sure how many of those gentlemen will be a part of it. The ones on that sheet there? Right here, the, yeah, the Guillain-Briz and Cole Clayton's. No, no. Victor Mancini. Yes. Matt Steinberg.

Steinberg? I thought I heard Steinberg on the game call. You did. You did. It must have messed up. And it wasn't even Walker's game call from the Steinberg. Shots were 30 to 9 in favor of the flames, who won this one by a score of 3 to 1. 30 to what? Let's say you know he's off. I know. He's the obvious beat. Nine. They went 14 plus minutes without a shot in the second period.

Defense. Defense. Defense. I saw a game in Seanovan Saskatch when the Tigers were trapping it up. I was like, are we back to the traps? That's not right? Oh, really? Willie trapping her down. Yeah, I mean, that's what they were doing. The Canoxas had four in the first, two in the second, three in the third.

They scored on one of them. They went 0 for three in the power play. So, hey, look, it's a preseason. NHL team against an HL team. Yeah. The best way to summarize it. But what it was for, okay, so what are these coaches doing? Who are they playing with?

with who? What's this Nemich character? What's he going to do? What's he going to do? What are we going to see here? And I think we got a glimpse inside what will take place this year as far as special teams. Yep. And that sort of thing. Perak looked great. He's saying Perak was all over the place.

Dynamic. Get used to it. Yeah. He looks more comfortable, even looks more comfortable and grown up in the off ice stuff. Yep. I agree. And I actually wonder, I was thinking of the. about this because I knew how much we'd want to dig into this game. That's right.

I actually wondered last year if there's a level of nerves and you compensate by it as a kid as being too cool for school like that. Yeah. I'm not saying it was that bad, but he looks different and more comfortable at his own skin. It looks like it's been there before. Yeah. It's like we talked about like, we had 12, 13 pounds. It doesn't hurt either.

Last week it's. It doesn't swap. Well, no. Yeah. It's not everybody. Not everybody. Come on. There's just less uncertainty.

You're here. You're going to play. You've made the team. You're going to play a lot. There's no talk of world juniors or are you going to junior, all that bullshit. It's just done. Just come in,

be in good shape and let's play. And it probably also helps that there's not massive expectations for the team. It's like, boy, that might be the key point is that Husk is that Husk is not breathing down your neck going. You can't give up chances against. Why?

Yeah, I mean, he'll be teaching. but these are not high stakes games that it's like, oh my gosh, shelter the kids, protect them. No, we understand they're not going to be a playoff team, most likely. I've got it. We've talked about it. They're going to play the piss out of these guys. Nemeck Perek, want to see it all the time.

You have good story to what? I was trying to be funny again with the Conroy thing where he promised. Oh, right. Yeah, he did. I'm not even sure if that's exactly what I said. Ret Warner. Conroy promises playoffs. You can go the slander. Yeah, you can go take a listen to the

Conroy interview. It was great. Might be the highlight of the week. Matt Faye Gridden, while the goal scores, Farabee, Coronado, and Hansick, all within a span of three minutes and 58 seconds in the second period. I didn't pay that much attention. How was Hanson? Good. Yeah. I thought you're biased. Grin. He is biased.

Gridden, Hansick, and Perak and Nemitz. You couldn't help but notice a lot because they have to figureprints on all the scoring chances. Like if you read the scoring summary, who are the names? It's mostly those guys. Yeah, like Hansick scored. I mean, I could have scored it to be. Yeah, I'm not. Well, it's not.

Correct to assist, Gridden two helpers, Farabia goal and an assist. Cornado a great shot. Even had to kind of double clutch it and then still, you know, wired it to the, to the, so yeah, it's, if there's going to be offense for the team, this is who's going to provide it. they were so inemic last year's scoring. And I don't think the forward groups any sex here, maybe you get a little more from the likes of Coronado or Hansik,

who only played, what, 11 games or something like that. There will be some tiny games. But I want to ask, Ret, like, if you have 40 plus minutes of Nemitz and Perak out there, how much more office could you get from the same forward group? The concern will be, who are you playing against? Because, yes, we want to see those kids give her. and go for it and blah, blah, blah, and they should drive offense when they're on the ice,

except if McDavid's got the puck and they're hemmed in their own head. Right. Yeah. There's going to be a catch-22 at some point. I agree. So, but. Because they are going to play those guys a lot. I'm okay with it.

Yeah. I like Cotter's every start. It felt like he was really in the first period for sure. He had the puck a lot. He was trying to make plays, was involved in it. And then I thought he kind of faded. So in shape, you didn't have to do testing. Maybe.

as the game went on. And certainly, I don't know that it's going to be Perek versus Nemitz or, but there's going to be some comparables between the two. It's just who's, how are they alike?

How are they dissimilar? It's power play one. That's the conversation. But it's more than that. It's the unknown. Both want those minutes. Sure they do. Last night,

Perak is on P.P.1, but Nemet's played more minutes. Okay. 21, 27 for NEM. Emmets, Perak, 19. I did like on the one, I think it was, maybe it was at the end of one of the power plays. Because it just kind of,

the game doesn't mean a whole lot. So you just kind of, you got your ISO count. Just watching Nemitz out there. Okay, what's he? All you're going right down low. Backdoor play. There's your D man.

Stand up back door waiting for that, for the, for the tap. That's what he's going to be. He's a rover, man. He is going to be electrifying and frustrating and baffling. All at the same time, some nights. I'm kind of here for it.

in this season. If you want to have difference makers, that's those are the guys that, and that's how they have to play. Yeah. You got to be able to make the reads and when to go, but that's, I don't.

We've billiaked about there being such a lack and void of skill. Yeah. No, there's skill. Yep. Inject some skill. Yeah. It hasn't arrived in the forward ranks necessarily yet,

but when you've got Nemitz and Perak in the back end, that's, I'm hopeful you're for your honsick. I think it'll be fine. I don't want fine. Well, you've ruined my hope. Well, what's the hope? I'm hopeful that he turns into something better than what you sold us on yesterday.

What's the over-under for goals for Sam Hans? I want this guy to be a 30-goal guy. Okay, down the road, sure. But like this year, that would be asking a lot, right? Well, how old is it? Yes, it's asking a lot. But this is the problem. Farkas.

We ask a lot because we know you can do it. It's okay to ask a lot. You just up your game. Same with Onzik. Right? Like, it's okay to ask a lot from guys. I get it. I just looks at. Oh, pressure.

No, it's not pressure at all. It's that this team had a 22 goal guy lead them. I know. It's appalling. So if I say I want him to score 30 and he scores 20, am I going to be like this guy's a POS? What is the reasonable expectation for a good season is the question? I'm going to probably call him a POS anyway, just because you like them.

I don't know, 20. Yeah, I would agree with that. That'd be a great year. Stay healthy. No, 22. Okay. Eclipse 20. I don't like 20. He's going to have the tough minutes because that's what the back line does, but they still, that line has had multiple 30 goals scores in the past two.

Coleman had 30 there two years ago. Yeah. Bax is fast. Ferby had 20 last year. But the games played, yeah, 11, 18, sorry, last year. 20? Ooh. Fellas.

20? It's so negative. What would a good season look like? was the question. No, I said, what's the over under? Oh, yeah. Like a good season, 50'd be good. Like, if you went to Bet, 36, 5, maybe 11 and a half or something. Yeah, like, that's what I'm at. Realistically, what do we? But that's kind of why it's like, we're not cash.

Rent wants 30 and I get you want 30 and maybe you can get there. But Jesus, let's get the guy more than 20 games in the season. I was, I started the conversation saying, I want him to be better than what Ryan was selling yesterday. And yesterday was one over or under of 11. And I'm saying, F that. Yeah. It'll be a stud.

Totally. Make us buy your jersey. Come on. Like you don't want Matt Coronado to stall out of 24 goals. You want him to flirt with 41. I do not want Matt Coronado to turn into Andrew Majabani. That's my. You don't, like we, obviously the ceilings of all these players.

You want to see them flirt with it. But what's that? Look, I love you, Andrew. He said, took a run out of him and the double that. Oh, Manch, Penny. I thought you were taking around walks. I'm like, what the hell? That walks.

an idiot. There's your runoff. I interrupted you. I guess it's just that we know they have a ton of young players and they are not all going to hit. But some of them are and some of them are going to go way beyond what you ever thought.

Matt Big Gridd is probably already there. He was picked late in the first round where you're about a one in three chance of getting a 200 game NHL or he already looks like a top six guy. That's a win. Poor man's taking stories. But yeah, would you love to see a 30 goal Hansick down the road?

Absolutely. Is there any chance with this group this year could happen? Very low. And that doesn't mean it's bad. Stay healthy. Use your size. Updeds. Capital Shev, the Capital Automotive Group 13103 Lake Fraser Drive in the Southeast. They are Calgary's truck destination. Silver autos, Sierra's, Denali's. Maybe you're looking SUV. Maybe you just need an everyday commuter. They've got you taken care of. You've maybe heard about the $99 lease. is a real thing, big inventory, competitive pricing, team that knows how to keep it simple for you. Just good people, as our buddy Lou would say.

Good people. 13103 Lake Fraser Drive in the southeast, online capital shev.ca. And, uh, yeah, I've not, I can check in about, have you, no, you're useless. So don't worry about it. I'll deal with it myself, just like everything else in life. What are you? Well, I was the, the camp spot because Claire from my buddy, Claire from California, from capital he goes down there and Rhett's down there

Rhett was looking for some help to get his winterization done at his campsite. How hard can it be? I'll slide him a cup of Hyundai. Okay, that might change things. That might change it. Could drink some pops. I'd go down. I'd learn.

Yeah. You'd learn? I could learn from them. Oh, you could. That's the work for me. Yeah, for sure you could. Put them on top of the roof. Have them put the cover on. It could. Matt Faye Gridden, big body, strong, smooth. Just he, again, I think we talked about this last year when he came in. He just kind of looks like a pro.

He just looks very comfortable and big and strong and makes plays. Here we are, but again, we got none of those. What does Matt Faye Gridden turn into? Because it seems like he's more of a playmaker. We've seen him with his shot, which is he's got a great shot. He's an offensive creator. 75 point guy. That'd be unbelievable.

Yeah. The problem when we run into this game of like projecting what the hell these guys could do, it's like, when's you get to play with a real top? Well, that comes back to Hans. Right? Hansik may have 30 goal abilities. Sure. Gotta be tough to.

Like if you go park him on dry sidels wing, he could score 30 in the next couple. Sure. So could I. But like this is the point. Like they literally have Morgan Frost, who I think is a hard, 3C in this league as their number one center. Michael Backlin, probably still a 3C at this point. Ryan Strom had a tough time playing regular minutes in Anheim.

He's probably a three or four. That's a stop sign. I'm throwing up the stops. You know what? It's okay. It's not set any high standards this year. Hansik 11, Gridden, we'll get you 18. Nobody else produce.

Wolf, sieve out. Because we want a high pick out. We want a high pick. pick this year. Next year's the year. Take a step. We're going to start making some demands on these people. But then they're going to get into that new rink with all the massage beds and the

fancy tubs and everything and then they'll get soft. They're going to get soft. I think the whole league's soft because they all have those fancy massage beds and steam rooms. It's the flames because it's so antiquated. I remember, I forget who it. I think it was Dan Bilesman. He, uh, when Pittsburgh got its new rank, again, this is he many years. ago and he had just kind of taken over as the coach.

And he's like, guys are in here getting rubbed down and there are the steam rooms and saunas and sitting around. I said, we got to take some of this shit out of here. These guys, this is a spa day every day at the rink. Get in, get your work done. Get out of here. Laying around. Clearly Dan's approach hasn't worked very well.

Well, yeah, it did for a while. It did for a while. I don't know if it was his doing. Old Man Shakespeare's a Cloud. I actually thought maybe that'd be my new podcast. It's not societal idiots. Another one. Oh, yeah, I have one already.

Side of idiots, Jack? What is that the other one drop? Man yells a cloud. He yells a cloud. Yield man yells a cloud. They're too soft. I would pick a topic of the week and then I'd break it down for you. What kind of topic would you make down?

Yeah, it would be hard-hitting stuff. Okay. Me and Jack would conspire over a beer. Politics probably is. Yeah. What would we do? Well, it would be ruminating? It's that Christmas carol.

It's very conspiring. whatever it is they're doing in that thing you guys can we're not going to canoodle no don't do that you know you maybe kibbitts you might do some kibitzing maybe one guy heard the show it's like all right guys get off my freaking back already was that marty pospousal he was being a bit of a jerk and a d-bag yeah and pushing you oh after the whistle a little bit of this little bit of that pushing around we've said it was gone all right so son. There needs to be an appetite to do it. Yeah. We don't have any issues. I was going to give Conroy crap the other day because Huska cut

possible cells legs out from underneath him a couple of years ago when he took a penalty. Yeah. And he benched him and called him out. And I'm like, well, what do you want this guy to be? It's exactly what he's supposed to be in there causing shit. Yeah. And you're going to bench him and call him out. Oh, he caused a penalty. Well, that's what you get. You know what the coach? Washington doesn't do? Tell Tom Wilson to settle the F down. True. Ever.

Go. He can score 30. Yes, he's quite good. He's not a fringe NHL or like Pospiseless. But there is something. It's your first game of the season. You're playing against a bunch of nobodies. You don't know anybody. And just after a whistle, you need to punch a guy for no reason in the face. I think that's great.

Do it again. Yeah, it cuts both ways. It's either like all this grading doesn't matter because they were playing against a tier below them. And then the other part is you didn't have to get any dirt on your nails, but you did. Right. So it's like, there's no bad blood or animosity coming into this game.

I shouldn't be. Don't imagine Pospisal knew any of these guys. It may be reading the phone book for half that lineup, right? Kevin Lankin, it was pretty good. He was pretty good. He was pretty good. Don't care.

But yeah, like it's just, how do you grade a team that it's an NHL team against? Well, I'm going to say then, how about this? I would never say don't watch, but we'll watch the,

the Vancouver Flames games this year, but we just won't judge them. Because it feels like both teams are very similar approaches to what they're trying to well. Well, yeah, they'll be in the same neighborhood for the next little while. Yeah. But I mean, that roster is not a shot against them. But I honestly, I don't know how many. There's no Patterson or.

Well, that's what we're going to center wherever the hell. Where do they go? Seattle? Yes. Tomorrow? That'll be the Flames edition of that. Yeah. People at Seattle are going, why?

Dry to Hunt. Carrens? The colonel? Yeah, that's what we saw the other day. The other night. I like the kid, the, the, the Perreck, and that's. That's exciting. I agree.

Like last year. I took some runs at him. Now I'm good by. Good. Yeah. I'm all right. And honestly, just watching him, like, there's a little bit of contact. He seems like a guy that isn't surprised by that.

Now we're last year, it seemed to catch him by surprise all the time. And maybe that's confidence. maybe that's understanding time and space more. Maybe it's 14 pounds or whatever he added. But just you watch him go end-to-end dancing guys with his hips open. You're like, there's too much talent here for this not to work. Was he not ready last year? No.

Like all of the year. No, he should have been in the day. Like everyone hates when I rant about that rule. But that it's the only situation in the whole hockey universe where you're literally doing something detrimental to a player's development. Going back to the O was not going to help him. He torched that league two years in a row. He wasn't quite ready for the NHL. Yeah.

But he does not look, but he doesn't look like a guy who is suffering from a year of loss. No, and the last 10 to, or developed. In the last 10 to 20 games of the season, he didn't either. It was, it was annoying and there was lots of bumps along the road along the way, but at the end of the year, you saw what you wanted to see. Not the whole year, certainly, but I also- The deadline, Rasmussen, Weeger were gone, he's on a power plane, and you're like, that's the guy they drafted.

Yeah. Guess what? I'm going to let you know. he probably not going to look great all year. No. Like there might be some. Oh, of course. Yeah.

Like this isn't a, this isn't a finished product. He's playing against. It looked, yeah, it looked like beer league for him last year. Yes. And that's how he's going to play.

Like he's, you know, kind of sidesteping and wheeling around. That's just because you, your hip don't open up. My hips, my hips do not open up like that. Tight hips.

No, no chance. What do they call those when you're doing that drill in the circles? The Crosby or the Mohawk. The Mohawk. That's what I was. No, the kids call it the Crosby. That's how it is.

You said to be the mohawk when we were growing. Doing that. You could do it on a dance floor. That's right. Sure, good. Yeah. Jack, can you do that one? Can you do the Crosby?

He'll toe dose ago. I've tried, but yeah. Can you do that at Tandbridge? Can he shoot the duck? Can he shoot the duck? Remember that? Shoot, shoot the duck. It's tough.

I tried a couple years ago for the kids, and I was fighting for my life trying not to fall. any one of those sleds you got to be careful you do you can go from i'm going to be cool to injured and in the hospital real bone head conkey good night i feel like if ryan earmoff there's going to be a lot of that with this guy oh because the aging process and how it happens like he's still going out and drinking all the time and wearing his hat backwards and like drink oh i lay shoot the duck boys hey the body's going to catch up it's going to be man i uh well started last year a little bit i fell on my tail

bone and I feel oh my hips are sore my the yoga poses in here stretch yeah he's doing some vinyasas in the corner so could you go do that somewhere else the hell's going on here you sucks don't even see your downward dog hoop up in the air we'll mind if we got a nice yoga

instructor I guess it's great we're the walls you're a little more to show whatever some one on ones uh Joel Farabee congrats on I don't know if he did he take over

Blake Coleman stall. He's the new Coleman. Does he, does he, I don't know what Coleman was driving last year. Calm the cooler. Doing that. Because he's the new Coleman.

He's the new Coleman. Come on that. On that line with Backland, they're going to be doing that. It's going to be the same deal. Happy lifting. He's the same guy. We've seen this for 10 years.

We know how this line's going to be utilized. And for Hansick to be on it, that's great. That's a younger guy that's going to learn the defensive side of it. Screw it up, Hansick. Then you go. Well, I will,

and I will say that. We don't know when He was coming back. We're all assuming he will at some point. I'm trying to get Jovo on to tell us what it was like. Oh, Jovo said pound sand. He's building some buildings and he's stuck to the job. He's not right. I ain't got no time for that.

Oh, anybody got time of that. But like if you're a left winger here and Huberto does come back, he's going to need minutes. Rhett says don't ever play him again, but I think they will. So it's like, okay, Zeri, you've got a little runway here to improve. press. Hansick, you've got a window to establish what you are. Obviously, Gridden's going to be a staple in the top six because they don't have anyone with his skill set. And then it's, yeah, like, what, are you going to put, are you going to replace Cipulac of him in the fourth line? I don't think so. Like, this is a window here for Hansik

and Zeri to establish what you are. And if you don't, don't be surprised for even popcorn when it's done. Establish. So though, we can get your jonnie in? Not because you, it's a burning thing, but because that's what's going to happen. Because Johnny is as frustrating he's been is still going to get you more than 11 goals or whatever the hell Conner's area gave you last year. I'm not getting it. You can't bait me.

I'm not biting on this. You're trying to get me wound up. You know exactly you sound like an idiot. Hubert did get a lot of points in this league at one point, right? Well, I mean, look, he's not a great player anymore, but what's Conner's area at this exact moment? a guy that no one in the league wanted to give up a second rounder for. Holy Christ, you've never liked Zeri.

I remember when he was trying to. He's fun. I wanted to have a great year. I'm just saying this is your window bud, right now. Zeri. Call McCleodlaw. Slander. Lible.

And who knows? Maybe he never does. If I wanted to make a real bold prediction, neither one of them are going to import pieces to the flame's future success. I don't know how bold that is. Zari or Hansi? I would have a lot more. Ponzick stock than I would Zaire. No, not

Hansik, you idiot. Hubertow or Zeri. Yeah, okay, that's fair. Yeah, I mean, even less bold. Oh, it's very unbolded, yeah. It's mild. Do you have some mild take segments coming up, Jack? We never watched our bold takes to me. I got clouds.

It isn't very nice of us to sit here. You know what? And Hubert all gets a massive surgery done and all anybody can say is, I sure hope he never comes back. Like, it's not a very nice thing. I want him to have a nice life. He's going to have enough money to have a nice life.

I want his hip to work forever. I don't care if he. Yeah. Who gets to leave the game on their own terms? And we're like, yeah, we will give him kudos when he leaves. I don't feel bad because this is what happens to everyone.

I was a very important piece of a team at one point. And then I was a POS. Like, and it happens quick. And no one gives a shit. And guess what? Someone else will come along and play. Yeah. And he's getting paid enormous amounts of money.

And that's awesome for him. Why do we have to? Yeah, you go from being in to in the road. Yes. It's pretty quick. Very quick. It's a very natural progression for most people. What is, what is, again, mind blowing about this one is he, he was, it was never good here.

he signed the contract before he played a game, took to the ice, and it's never been, it's just never, it's never been good. It's an impossibility for him ever to get close to justifying that contract. Impossible. It will never be something that was okay. It will always be one of the worst decisions

this organization's ever made. I always, at the start of every year, whoever, right? writers sports media will come out with here's a look at the top 10 worst contracts in the national hockey like you don't even need to open it up no i know who's one who's two i listened to bedros coolian show on the way in today and he said if you have to spend if you have to spend money to look cool yeah you're not cool and that's what the flames did here's a whole bunch of money to make it sound like we're a place that you want to be see look guys whole sign here nobody could see through that like oh he guys love it here

Yeah, for massive pay days. Yeah. So I think what we would agree on is that like there just isn't a universe where the flames are relevant and he's a core piece. It's not going to happen. No. I know the only, the only conversation or the only curiosity you have is how does it end? Yeah. How is this health?

Do you play the rest of your like 20 games? 200 more games? How many? That stupid stat up a million times. There ain't many guys with that injury and that surgery. Yeah. Yeah. The resurfacing is that play another decade.

And right now, Eddie Cain's the guy. Everyone else didn't go well for. Right now, it's an unfortunate sort of a thing because he's not able to produce and he's had certain. But it's not as though he's blocking anyone yet. Because we can talk about where you feel about Zary or whatever,

but it's close. Well, if he comes back and Zary goes to the press box, I think that is blocking him. And I think that's what would happen. But you've kind of made your mind. You don't know. No, no, no.

I'm just saying like, is Gridden going to come out for Huberto? Absolutely not. Is Hansa going to come out? Maybe. But we'll see. He's younger and he's impressed me more in the last year when he has been healthy than Sarah. As in Zari Post injuries until you show us you can be that player again.

I just don't know that you're going to be. And I hope he does. Right? But you said the other day, those injuries, he hasn't looked like the same guy. And it's like, Jonathan Heuberer's not coming to play on a fourth line and bang and crash with Paws, Flo and Clapka. It's just not. So if you're putting him in, who's coming out? Don't bother.

you kind of made up your mind was there and that's totally I have not made up my mind was there oh like I want to see him have a great year I don't know what kind of year he's have I literally just said he's got a huge opportunity before he rose back go kick some ass Jack what would your take on Ryan's opinion

on Conner's area be that he hates him Dean it's a very intelligent guy no but you're but you're down hate him at all the guy the guy's accomplished very little the last year's coming off two injuries so I hope it can get better I really want to see it happen like I'm not trying to paint you a corner, but it's okay to feel how you feel like it's fine.

I don't want to go in the lineup ever again. I'm not saying that you're wrong about it because, yeah, it has, he's been injured. And objectively, you can't look at what he's done the last year and be like, this guy's corpus. He's not. Yeah. And when you saw him come up two years after his draft, he was playing with car, you're like, look at this.

It's got a little piss and vinegar. He's creative offensive player. Some dynamic stuff happening. Like, wow, there's just something. Where's that guy? It's all too much. because Zeri talked, to be quite honest, not your fault.

I'm trying to do something there. What else is there talking? Hansik's the one I would. I'd love to see that guy back. I do. I don't hate the guy. I think it would be awesome if he turned out of him. He's different. Oh, you're too nice. If he was healthy,

and it still comes back to this team being so challenged with ability. Yeah. And yeah, if you're a first round, you've got to make other players better, but who has Zeri played with where he can benefit from some heavy? It's just... I mean, yeah, it's Stroman and the ghost

of Igor Shiren Gova, she's playing with now. It's not really terribly inspiring. And so the question would be, well, how is everyone else around him doing? And it's like, well, it clearly feels like he's been passed quickly by Gritten. In a year, Zoom, taillights, right? That's fair. A hurt to you. And Hansick will see.

I'm expecting to see nothing else. He's hardly played. I don't want Hansick to be shoehorned. That's a good one, right? We never used that. Shoehorned. into wedged into a I'm a shutdown winger role

he might be that I think that's what his skills are it's puck protection size banging on the walls like he's this is not what you promoted years ago I don't I never claimed to know a ton about this prospect when he was drafted we looked at each other

natural like I don't have a ton but I never thought this was a superstar guys you just don't get that at that part of the draft very often like go look at the picks from 10 to 20 there It's like there's no superstars there. Like, why are we expecting a super star? I can go through probably every year and find one. Of course you can't.

Yeah. Maybe one out of the time. So there are. Like he wasn't in the seventh round. He was, no, he was 13, I want to say.

And so you're not, I just said, we talked about yesterday. Like the flames were not saying, okay, well, here's a guy that can play a third line shutdown role. It's like,

this is a power forward. This is a guy that we see could be a force. I'm sure somebody said Kopitar when they, when they wasn't playing a, center. So that might be they was playing at center. Not much. But there was some. I mean, there's a thought he could move to center. That was a discussion around the draft.

Is he a center or not? We don't know. We want to try it. But then he goes back to Vancouver, gets hurt again. Yeah, there's a lot of raw tools there. I don't know what he's going to be. For Christ's sakes and let's not have any. Like, I'm with red on this. If only to say, being a

on the line with Backland and you're going to map and you're going to translate into a check. That's plan B. Plan A is we don't know shit about you. You've barely played. What if you've got some offensive tools? We desperately need them. How many guys turn into offensive players if they don't get given offensive opportunities? Well, I think you will. I just think this is, this is hopefully his first full year in the league. I don't think you're pigeonhole and a guy at all. I think it's someone that's,

Shoehorn. Pigeon hole. Shoehorn. Anything else, Jack? any other turns of phrase? No, I think it's a good place to learn and then you hope if he shows some offense and he can't this power play one net front or something like that. Let's go. Yeah. It's the two things.

It's what we honestly think he'll be terrible GM. And then there's what the flames should be trying to do with him. Yeah. Like I'm looking at that draft class 10 to 20. Zach Benson? For a good player. And what we didn't, there was not. Not a lot to talk about before playoffs last year.

He really was awesome. I think he's going to be a great player. But you'd rather. And that's, and that's, made it as an 18th. There's 10 guys there. No one else has scored more than 20. What's the point you're making?

Yeah. The point is that our expectations for a guy that you drafted 16 are out of whack. There's no superstars. I can't actually stay and do this show anymore because if you have an opinion, he'll find a way to tell you that it's wrong and that if we have an hope that somebody does well, that you're an idiot because that's out of whack. I think of the ceiling. You'd be fucking.

terrible on a hockey management team. Well, I would make no, you would take no ownership of your choices. Well, he's good, but he's not good. So if he's okay, then he'll be fine. But if he thought, it's okay. What are you saying? I'm just saying, I thought when they draft

there was probably like a, you're the one that was like on the thing. It's really good. I've been really down on him. And now you tell us that, well, don't expect anything for one. Yeah, I didn't say. I said it doesn't have a super son. Literally.

what I said. It feels because you like him, you're trying to lessen the aspect or I didn't like him. Like he's clearly do, Brian. Like no, I have not being able to just okay. Yes. So a year ago, I did not have him in my 10 top 10 prospects. I had him way down the list. The lowest anyone had him in the Flames Nation at like 15 people that did it. And I I thought we saw flashes of a guy that can become a core piece. No one reads those shitty fucking things anyway, so you have to walk us to. I don't remember your... Why don't you tell us what he is and what your expectations are for him?

I'm saying that I've like... I want him to... Why set the bar as a third line fucking checkdown center? I'll go... Or a winger. I can go find that tomorrow. Not only it's the bar. I think that's just where he's right now, right? That's the line he's on. Like, we all want to be more than that.

No one's saying he's capped as a third line winger. But if it's like, if we're going to say... You just said, we're... out of whack if we expect more than that. If we expect a superstar, not more than that. Like if he's a second line left winger that puts 25 to 30, I think that's a great player. That's a piece that, you know, if his leadership skills of physicality,

that can be a cool player. You will just throw any stats behind your argument to make yourself sound like. I just want to be clear about where I'm out on. That to me you're so unclear. If he scores 25 to 30, that to me is superstar. Pardon me? For what he is right now. Okay. To me, he

can't stay healthy. He's played how many games? If he's a 30 Goal guys. 30 goal guys are in the league. Pardon me? How many 30 goal guys in the league? Probably 50. Like Tom Wilson gets 30.

Is he a superstar? I would say so. Yeah, I'd agree. So if you get 20, 30, that is superstar. Then that's a great pick for where they got him in the first round. No, you're out of wet. No, I agree with that. I don't think a superstar is a 30 goal winner.

Well, I, like, that's all I'm saying. So you give Kooch shit for commenting that. I didn't give Kooch shit. It's like, whatever I say, you hear it, different way in your head and you think I'm trying to slam guys. I love Goucherob. I've been like I fucking love that player. He's wicked smart.

When he says the league's dumb, it's like everyone's dumb compared to that guy. He's the chess master in this league. That's all I'm saying. I'm not trying to take runs at guys. Try to get behind a guy that he likes and then he starts backpedaling that I know. We're trying to get on team Hansick now and he doesn't want to do it.

Well, I think our expectations from the same. If you had a second line winger that scored 25 to 30 that's physical. I think all of us are kind of like, yeah, that'd be a really nice outcome. And I think that's not too out of whack of my expectation. We're yelling about all this other stuff. That's actually we probably all feel the same way about him. Does anyone have higher or lower

expectation? I don't think he gets there. I don't think we ever see 25. He's going to have to stay healthy. Yeah. He hasn't been healthy. He can't make a stipulation based. No, no, but they're not healthy. And I'm not hedging or I'm just saying from the year they drafted him in which he was hurt. He's been hurt.

every single year. That's a lot of developmental time lost. It's maybe he's a center by now if you actually didn't lose all those games in junior and then with the ring or whatever. That that sucks. If he's going to be anything, he's got to be healthy for a bit.

Well, he better not be Valamaki. Yeah, and I love Valamaki. And then a guy blows out his knee and doesn't move the same. And it's like, you're playing for the Chicago Wolves in the Calder Cup. Where was he drafted? 16th, 17th?

Weird. Yeah, another first. and not a bad pick, just a horrid injury. Yeah, they were happy with the pitch. I loved them. Like character, leadership. Like, I had dinner with the Chicago Bulls Play-by-Play guy a month ago when I was in Chicago. Old pal.

And he had the most incredible use of Alamaki stories. His kids are back in Finland. He's airlifted in. He's hurt. He's still buying the team meals. Like, just leader, leader, leader, leader. And that was the sort of stuff you were hearing when he arrived on the scene in 19 in the playoffs where Kiel McCark

I'm really here. I don't do the homework that you do. I think people just really it was a quality, quality human that they had it never moved this. Why are we talking about this?

Next. Yusuf Alamaki. Poor guy. Redwood they let him go for another. Talk about something, Retro. Got to talk about it. Why are we letting this guy go for nothing?

Because he can't skate anymore. Yeah. I mean, we have opinions. We do a show every day. It's not easy, folks. that was actually pretty this is way better than I expected to show

Jack always gets nervous at another talking about like don't worry we will find something stupid to bicker about Jack honestly calm your tits we'll yell about which popcorn flavoring is better and we can find anything I would go with popcorn flavoring today what's your flavor dill I fucking love dill

might go ranch today ranch I could be persuaded ranch I don't know if I've tried that cheddar ranch Put some cheddar in there? So good. Maybe like a buffalo. No good movie.

It feels like it's been five years. Season two of Mobland is out. That's out. That's ready to roll. Also, what's on the way is Thanksgiving when we give thanks. That's what we do. That's what we do. To what we're best at, gratitude.

And Bontan meets. Get ahead of it. Pre-order your turkey. Do not call. call day before. Do not call the day before. Get a hold of Bon Tonn meat. We're having people about how many people you have and how big of a bird? How about how much do you need? They've got it all figured out for you. Well, tell us how many people. Is there? What else do you need? Are you doing anything on the side? Is I am. Are you doing Turr? What do we do? Oh, I don't want to do turkey.

What else? Do you do something else? That's why Bon Tonne meets is the very best. 28 crowfoot circle in the northwest. And I think I'm, I think that there's people coming to my house for things. Really? I would highly recommend what we did for the American Thanksgiving if you can get Greg to do it. Yeah. Again, don't be a turkey call early. Talk to Greg. Talk to Greg about it. Tell the people to be that's right. Also, the

in-store made salads, delicious desserts, the meat pies, they can make your Thanksgiving. If you are hosting, go a whole lot, make it easy. And people are going to be, this is so good. Oh, just to be delicious. There's nothing better than impressing the hell out of everyone at thanks. of the dinner. If you've got a great Thanksgiving meal and people are like, oh, oh, so good. I want, I want, it's a win. I want five compliments before the meal.

Yeah. Even like early on into the meal. You know what I go? They walk in. Oh, smells good. Smells good. You know what else I need for this? Anton meets Thanksgiving dinner that I'm going to put on. Yeah. Dean Moldberg's buns. Oh, boomer buns. I'll be popping by to pick up my buns. I'm telling you. My bun game, I got to do some work. No one's harder on himself than boom around his boss. You know what? I'm going to give you.

You know what? I'm going to help you. This is what a good coach does. He gives his players an opportunity to succeed. Okay. So tomorrow I'll stop by into the, uh, I was going to see a cheap shot where I live, but I'll stop by into the neighborhood. Wow.

It's the people that represent your neighborhood that I have a real place. It's a great neighborhood. Shut up. Jack. I'll pop by tomorrow around three. or four. Okay. And grab a tray.

Uh-huh. Taste test for the weekend. Doug's in town, the DUG. So I got it fired up. But then, uh, we'll do it again next week. And we'll three o'clock. I need the double rise. I'm going to, okay, I'll do the show from home tomorrow.

That's fine. Get the dough. That's fine. If as long as I'm getting buns. Yeah. Bonton meets 28 crowfoot circle in the northwest. There was something else I was going to say there about Greg. He's texted me all the time.

He's like, I was listening to the show with you guys. I've got to get these guys out of here. trade those guys you're not trade I want a sheep shot Greg about his Cowboys because they're terrible well the defense is terrible for sure well that's part of the team though you can't

we're great team except their defense gives up 50 well such a great team but we're not good yeah it's not great can all be bills fans Josh somebody's got to write a Josh Allen song Jack get on that AI it

write a Josh Allen what like it's Isn't that like a curse we don't. Oh, that's true. Thank you. Thank you, Jack. It might be the only smart thing you said on the show in months. Do not sing a song about your favorite team or they're doomed.

We've seen this. The Ottawa Senator's guy had to go to A-Erick. That's as bad as we've seen. It's really bad. They call it. Doc. Like, can you? Doxing if you do it to yourself.

I don't know. There's a, there's a, and now there's one that will go away. It's caught a hell of buck, Buck, Buck. All these morons in Winnipeg singing, I'm like, Like, could there be a worse song right now than color, a hula buck, buck, buck.

And you're, I can't believe I sung that. This ass adds ass out of here. He's scurred the franchise. You shouldn't have never sing the song. If you're putting out one of those. We should do like a, a fan anthem. Just stop the conversation right there. You know what?

Well, I'll tell you later. Okay. last night start of the game they unveiled the video I know on the Jumbotron during the game and then it popped up on social media and I think maybe we kind of knew this was coming

but it is going to be our fan moment of the day for Coca-Cola being a hockey fan is a commitment the superstitions the chance the pacing the standing through overtime because somehow sitting just feels wrong whatever you're doing making the climb up to the nose blades. Maybe you're rallying your section to start the wave or keeping one eye on the game and another

on the out of town scoreboard. True fandom puts in the work and every shift deserves an ice cold Coca-Cola. Fan work is thirsty work and Redd, I'm curious to get your thoughts on this because the fans are pumped. The weight is over as the Stanley Cup playoff return to Calgary and the South dome has never sounded better. There you go. Oh, goosebumps. Oh, Peter. Coming back. That was awesome. Now, on one hand, I'm like, we got to stop talking about 04.

I love it. And again, brilliant to do it against the wings, Canucks. It's a nice twist. It's a great idea. I thought about that. That's unreal. Great idea. Well done.

That jersey, there were people who didn't even like the flames. Like, oilers fans, I know one. I won't say his name here because he would be devastated. Yeah, Walker would be upset. sought a flames jersey at the rink to be part of the sea of red. Wow. Just because it was so amazing in the rink and the energy and the excitement, it's like, I can't, you can't take a picture of me.

I can't be seen in this because my family would but had to buy that red jersey to be in, be a part of it. Well, those games would be more exciting than some of them this year. Not those games. They've also got a hometown remit. they haven't unleashed yet. So we will... I believe there'll be more Jersey

news in the coming days, I imagine. I think before Puck drop, you'd have that laid out for the rest of the year. I saw Pike tweeting about it today. It's like with the remix or with reverse retro or whatever. Hometown remixes was this. You're going to have a red sea,

a yellow sea, a white, whatever he was saying. What happens when I have the popcorn with the jersey and the Coke and I'm spilling and the guy... It blends in. Yeah, that's why it's nice. It's not as bright.

Yeah. It's not as very key. There you go. That is our fan moment for Coca-Cola. Every ship deserves an ice-cold Coca-Cola. Fan work is thirsty work. And there will be some. We talk about it all the time.

There's a lot of people that don't even remember 0-4. 0-4 was so long ago now. Some of us maybe have the old, the 0-4C of Red Jersey that we can pull out, but some people are going to need to buy some fresh ones with the dome logo on it. Some of us are still trying to solve. of a mystery of who the hell gifted them a Rhett Warner 44 jersey on their 40th birthday. Yeah.

I still don't know. Never did find out. No. I have suspicions, but I've never. What's a gift that keeps on giving. It's right over there. Don't spill on it. Not that one. I'm taking that one. Jack stops to him. Jack's taking that one. Let's do this.

Fender report brought you by Village Honda. Your dealership for life in the Northwest Auto Mall under that giant Canadian flag. Dole the ship for life since 1987. VillageHonda.com. We start a day of the face off Calgary. What are the nerds nerding about, Rhett? Go nerd it up, bike.

Come on. Special team units. Got me together. Veteran heavy flames. Corral, youthful Canucks. Jacob Middleton, by the way, fellas. love the mustache going to need a bounce back yet was he terrible i don't know that i'd say that but i would say that better be careful he might smack you the the season he had two seasons ago

is the one the flames that like that not last years yeah we'll see how that goes because if preck's earning more ice and he's looking more like a six maybe you get a white cloud on the right preck on the left something to watch as the season unfolds he made a play last night on the goal I don't know if you, he didn't get enough on it. No, it was beside the net and. I was an expert at that play,

D. He had some options. One would be pick it up and go to the other way. There were a number of things and he just decided to, just whack it off the glass. And it was kept in rather easily. No, no, no, no, no. The fine line being he didn't get it off the glass.

Well, okay. He went to get it off the glass and just kind of, you got to be able to make that place then. He kind of came up the wall. It's not called boards and out. It's called. Glass and out, Rex. Glacinac.

I'll call. Connie will call me. Connie will call me. I'll come down and help you, boys. Also over at the old, yeah, it was a Flames final. They did win this game 3 to 1. There was all the goals in a short spell of hockey in the second period. The youngsters looked very good.

And the Canucks definitely looked like the Abbotser Canucks, not the Vancouver Canucks, which was most of them more. Number 19 was all over the place. Great sign. They should have one of the, I know they do. They've got the tracker in the shoulder. Yeah. how many clicks did you skate last night?

So there were some straight lines that could have been taken. Ah, I'm just going to wheel around a little bit. I'm going to rag it up here. I've got to go down low. You stay right there. I'm going to come back. There was a few shifts where the delayed penalties or power players or when they just had zone time where he and Nemitz are just wheeling around the top.

Just it looks so effortless for for Zane to wheel around. Oh, I can't. Yeah, to skate like that, my goodness. Just open your hips. and dangled by everyone. And then it's a couple of times. I think it was ball. He's got the puck.

And it's like, where's my left? No, he's not there. And it was always like, hang on, hang on. He was coming up the wall this way. He skated behind him in between him and the blue line. Okay, now it's, I'm ready. It's like trying to jump on a moving train. I'll be right there.

Just hang on. I'm on my way. That would take getting used to with those. It would for sure. That much roving. Because ball played. Roving. I like it.

Yeah, ball played 2134, Nemitz, 21, 27. And yeah, it'll be, okay, you and me. Hey, we're going to, we're in this together. Well, they, uh, they had some very limited minutes in New Jersey together before ball came over in the, the Marstrom deal. And I think it'll be a fun pair to watch. You've got someone holding the fort and the other guy to your point. Yeah.

And like you said, there will be some nights. It'll be, maybe we need to read this in a little bit. But let them, let them, let them. But when it clicks, look out. Oh, look at those. We mentioned the jersey stuff. That's exciting. It is the old 04 opponents that they'll break out that black C4.

More information with dates and all that good stuff on the website. Pike's got it all for you. Schedule looks like this. There's a couple more preseason games. They're done at home. There will never again be an NHL preseason game of the Saddle dome. Yeah, that's really matter, I guess. That's a tough.

That's careful because all we do is shit talk. And then you're like, yeah, is that a good thing? It's a good thing. Well, we get the bit of sad because no, that's good. Yeah, no more bad hockey. We'll take it. There are two on the road, though. They're going to Seattle.

Seattle. I was at a wedding. Seattle. I was at a wedding. Seattle. Take on the Cracken. That's tomorrow night. 7.40 start time.

What is it, baseball? That's a little odd. 740. That's 640. Easter. And then up to the Festival City where they're preparing for their Stanley Cup season. Got off foreign with some Oilers enthusiasts today. It's their evening.

They look great. Everything's perfect. Why do you talk to those people? They call me. Oh, so good. But. But.

Fives. Is it a coronation or what do you call it? It's just, I remember the vibes are high. You're going, oh, we're back early for captain skates. Woo-hoo.

You see how everyone in shape. That's preseasoning. They should have taken those days off because they played really late. Vives are high over what Babcock is bringing. It's a very much business like. It's no messing around. Let's go.

You want the Mike Babcock experience, that's what you're going to get. Mike Babcock's wife thought he was pretty good at being retired, but Mike Babcock's wife also wants Mike Babcock to coach like Mike Babcock can for the NHL. Mike Babcock. Keep moving. Got some NHL news for you, Billy Guerin. Sounds like he's got a little extension in his pocket. Emily Kaplan reporting this, I believe, yesterday.

Multi-year contract extension is the day GM of the Wild. sources tell ESPN, the wild owner, who I believe is Craig Leopold, who used to own the nationals, said at the Board of Governor meetings as he was getting to an elevator, we will. There you go.

He was asked to about Quinn Hughes, obviously if he was going to sign. The billionaire thinks they're going to get it done. Well, they usually get what they want. Good for Bill. We'll see. Ter Williger. Bad news in Philly

as one of the biggest surprise stories of the year, year was Dan Vladar being one of the best goals in the NHL. Uh-oh, 1331 mark. In comes Alexei Kolosov. That means Vladars hurt. See ya. Preseason action.

We'll wait to see the severity of it, but he was a crucial piece, especially given that Sam Erson was their backup and he was dodged. Sam was terrible. Sam was no good. We'll see for Philly. Biggers cross for Dan. Dan, uh, never had any issues with him. I like disco, Dan.

He was a good dude. And I like to have to be a ton of. he's like, yeah, I could take the backup job here. Like feet up. I want to push myself, right? I want to be your number one. Warner inspired me. I want to push myself to be better.

Riddick was more of the hot head. Remember he like head butted the wall and like hurt his neck. I think it was in Washington. He's more of the goofy goalie. Yeah. He's, uh, yeah. A lot of safe Dave. Bugs.

Uh, oh, yes, the friend of the show, Cam Robinson over at elite prospects, Dean. Yeah. It's been on some of our prospect shows. This is a plus that list? Too early prospect list where it's Landon DuPont, the Grand Canyon, and then the rest of this draft class, he is a unicorn. Big Alexis Joseph who was supposed to be in the mess. Sinking like a sunset.

Brock. Brock, England. Boy, you can skate. The Centers of Note for Calvary Flames. Noah Davidson, two of them. Aren't they both in the hat? You're very excited. Noah Davidson, Messon hat.

What about that? Shaffir Gordon Carroll. Met is a half. Wretches barking out names. Borgheim! Carter Meyer is a nice guy to keep your eye on. He's got some muck.

They'll stink to his game. Yep. And the big smooth skating centerman is Jonah New and Schwanter from the Swiss League. You played against men. That is. So which one of these guys?

Do you have that song? No, I don't. That's a long last name right there. So which one of that group of the flames get? September 23rd. I'm going to say it's new and shwander or sun's true.

I say Meyer. Okay. Need the center. Yeah, my eyes are bad and I can't read. So I'll say also go with that. Who is it, Meyer? My eye. See you sent?

It was at the program last year. And everyone got mad at the program. When I say program, the NTP program. And then they said, Sionara, I'm out of here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll move. Let's go to the NFL where we're a day wave Thursday night football. Jack.

Excited for this? No, you're not. It's a Atlantic Green Bay. God damn. Gonna watch it. Going to watch it. Yeah. The flames go out too. So hopefully you have a split screen. Maybe a pick. What time? No Cooper Rush. Or it's not Cooper Rush. It's a good. It'll be Penix. It'll be Pennix. But Cooper was the guy who played weeks one, too. Panix is back. Who is I think I've seen Drew Lock and got it right. Okay, good. Yeah, amazing stuff. We'll just talk about.

Both teams have been disappointing. Here are your odds for the Thursday night. Curse your friends bet 365. Jack? I got him. He's gone. There are here. Packers, heavy favorites.

They're at home. Minus 270 on the money line. Step it up here, Green Bay. Let's go. It's five and a half. And Jack was our clown last week for having the worst football picks. So we've got to get back of a good foot. Not your fault, Jack.

It was a tough week. Wasn't there a show that Robin Williams did, Jack? He was a doctor. Patch Adams. Patch Adams. Or he wore the red with Jack. Yeah. Maybe that was Tropic Thunder.

Yes. And he was. Yep. Let's move on, shall we? Jackson Dirt. Good at football and getting her playing football. Tough one here. You know what you'd never do.

You just never do. You never go full. Oh, no. Oh, dear. Oh, she. That's. ends his 26th season. Oh dear.

And you know what this one, it's like, that Jackson Darty is so reckless and everything. You can't even play. It's not a contact. It was just a hit in the, in the pocket. He just kind of got sandwiched between two guys and it snapped his knee and.

James Winston. Yeah. And you know what? We said it the other day. Have James as you're in studio, yuck it up. James. He's so great.

Get him with the fans. get him tailgating, interviewing people. Love this guy. James in the pocket. A lot. This guy's awful. Get him off my screen. Why is he throwing it there?

Yeah, it's not a starter in the NFL, but he will be starting games in the NFL. I'm not watching. Prepare accordingly. Are you not going to wash? What about Skataboo? I'm going to pick up Naji as a, what do they call a handcuff?

Oh, you're going to handcuff someone. Skataboo. I'm not sure he's the handcuff. Yeah, he is. Tracy's been isn't the Tyrone frame he's got like four back

they's got a bunch because they know that single they understand that idiot vickers did a terrible job he got you all the bells we wanted one

stuff is fine but one and one running back jack's o and two hard luck o' and two jack one running back one one

one trade like like jack does for jacks don't make a wheel and mom deal in all kinds of meals

Anyway, sorry. I think that does it, Jack, is that it? That's all, nothing else. Wednesday, September 23rd, that should pin her apart for Villachonda.

So did you get read the riot act for don't play any stupid stuff?

Don't play any stupid stuff. Because you get a shutdown in trouble? To pull back the curtain, if maybe we had a silly video of a kangaroo lassoing a snake and catching a spider from Australia, we'd usually play something like that at the end and say, oh, it's your printed part. But nowadays, you don't know if that gets you in trouble or not on YouTube.

That's about time you smartened up. We've been telling you that for years. I was going to say, how do you feel about that, Red? This is a sad development? No, I feel like this is reinforcing what we've been trying to say. Yeah, so ordinarily what would happen right now was Ryan would play a video. Rhett and I would say it here, Stoneface.

Brett would say something mean to Ryan. like skydabving, did you make skydivers. Jack loves this stuff. So I just, you know, Jack wanted to see it. So that's what you missed today. I know. I do miss it. Somehow we'll survive it.

I think we're going to get where. That's what we're all about overcoming. We dig up. We dig up. We dig up. We'll figure it out. Yep. We do.

There are other ways to drive you nuts at the end of the end of the end of the end of course. It's got to get the world. You didn't even mention what starts tomorrow. And it's a sports show. President Scott tomorrow. That's right. Very good. Excited.

You had four hours to research this Pinda report. You will have some more President's Cup. I'm big in Presidents. Okay. That's 365 coming up. He loves the President. Oh, it's biggest time for a while. Vena Nova.

You can visit the showroom and market mall. There's going to be some pressure because I did the whole Christmas gift. Here you go. Here you go. Giulianova. And it'll be like September. It's October. It'll be the old.

So do I get my Christmas gift before the next Christmas shows up? or that's going to happen. The answer could be yes. Get up there. Lab grown diamonds. It's the way, it's just the way you do it now. Earth mind,

far more expensive. Lab grown, they're made in a lab. Same chemical composition and crystal structure, hardness refraction. In some cases, even better quality

than what's coming out of the ground. Yeah, which you should listen to Joe Rogan. He talks with the guy that knows all about that stuff. Is that right? You listen to Joe Rogan? Sometimes.

He's on all the time, though. It's talking too much. anywhere from 50 to 70% less expensive than earthmind as the technology gets better and improves, makes more efficient, thus you save not many things. You're going to have made better and I save money because of it. Labgrown diamonds. There it is. Visit the showroom and market mall.

Say how to Justin and his staff. They'll take very good care of you. Online vina nova.com. So you don't just say to the person you live with, yeah, go ahead, go down there and get it yourself? No, it's kind of. We'll go for lunch. We'll go do it. Yeah.

You have no. But then you don't, you do kind of glaze over as soon as you walk through the doors. Like when Steinberg was on. You're good here now, right? It's kind of, I don't know. That's why Vinanova's great. You got your smoothie or your Coke.

Yeah, just sitting there. Handy crush. Love it. Oh, it's beautiful, babe. That one does. That one. We were in there about a month ago. And she was trying on these diamond stud things.

How are they different? Well, this, the one's a little bit bigger and it's got a different cut. This one? This one. I'm gonna go lay down. you just let me know what it's so great you're not going to go wrong at Vina no

Justin's guy And of course we had to leave Because we couldn't make a decision So we'll have to go back Oh my goodness Which happens You've been scammed No it's yeah

You were scammed That she knows what she's up to Keep people happy That's pretty much what it is Well we already kind of teed up Our bets of the day Let's do I mean Pinder clearly doesn't care about

And Boer doesn't seem give him crap, but tell you what, Rish. Tell me, big event coming up. I haven't mentioned it. Didn't even talk about it. Sporting things on the calendar

every two or four years or whatever it is. I think you're thinking of the rider cut. Can you name two players of the international team? Yes. Okay. In a game as fast as hockey, it pays to be early. The same goes with Bet365,

whether it's the early bird specials boosted pregame odds or instant mid-game payouts with early payout. They are the barn for winning early this season. Bet 365, the home of winning early. Alberta only must be 18 years of age or older in Alberta. Please play responsibly. Do they do preseason games?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, they do everything. Oh, I would. The odds are going to reflect that. Is this Calgary, Wrangler is going to Seattle? I get that. Folks, if you have any clue about sports, You'll know that the President's Cup is on.

What's the President's Cup? The President's Cup is Trump came up with this great. It's all right. Yeah, it used to be called the Ryder Cup. Trump has changed the name of it. The trophy is now called America Trophy. We'll do our football bets, so I had to go out on a limb. Minutes 600 is not ideal.

I don't know how it's going to go wrong. you had Xander Usually Scotty Schaffler Was at the top of that's rest And I went You know what Zander His name starts with X

X marks the spot Let's go as in So there it is Genius That's that nice little return there Nice little return Those are bets for Bet 365 Thank you right

They don't need to be yours But those are our bets Bet 365 Alberta only must be 18 years Of age or older Please play responsibly The Blue Jules Js are playing a double header against the Baltimore Orioles today.

Could it be officially? Oh, they're toast. Like the magic number, the whole, I wonder what the viewing audience will be like the numbers. They fell off a cliff about a week ago. It was Friday. Two Fridays ago. See you.

Remember how exciting it was last year? Friday. Yeah, it was. Brutal. Stupid. You know what? It's Toronto's fault. Too much pressure on the boys.

You just let down? Yeah. Yeah. Better bitching. Maybe if you sign a half billion dollar deal, shouldn't stress here too much, so you could keep hitting balls through the infield instead of into the ground at 115 miles.

Yeah. Tough year. Very tough. Oh. You're right, though. You are astute. Love the player. I would say miserable season.

What's the home run total? Oh, like nine. I was going to say it's, uh, nine. Nine. Nine. That's only nine. more than Jack.

Skeens probably had nine. How was Skeens year? I know there were high hopes behind the moderners. But he did not win the cyan. Remember the day? It was one of the first games of the year and we did our bets. It was like, but the game had already started.

Oh, well, the game's already started. He's already giving up four years. He got a torch in his first one. That was so funny. Yeah, rough year for Skeinser. Could be toughier for Pittsburgh sport. Yeah, it's trending that way for sure. Yeah, usually somebody should be able to.

Maybe, maybe the pens. Yeah, maybe the Penn. It's shocked us last year. Ryan, can you? I'm going to get it. We'll get into the chat. Yeah, yeah, sure you want. Can you find on the Bet365?

You're not the playoff odds far for the Pittsburgh Penguins? Penguins, I can do that. Yeah, because it feels like a real long shot for the Steelers. And we know what the pirates are. Steelers, yeah. They don't have an NBA team as far as I know. They do not. To make the NHL playoffs, Pittsburgh.

So the hopes of Steeltown are riding. Iron City is the kid. Plus 190. That's okay. They made it last year and no one thought they would. It's true. You know who they've got? Crosby.

Brazzers. I did. Brassers. Ricky Racks. Racks still there. She loves. They lost. Ryan Shea, who Oilers fans were telling me as a top pair of defense face, that's got to be a monster.

Did they lose Ricky racks? No, he's still there. Malkin's back. Implied probability of 34.5% of this. I don't know. Plus 190. Some people are like, I don't leave what that means where it's like, oh, it's a 35% show. Okay, I get that.

Yeah. Now I'm saying. But yet, your mood is fairly good. Yeah, well, I've kind of given up on the Steelers already. He's self-medicating. I don't know what the Pirates record is. It's probably shitty. Can we get Rogers on another podcast?

I know that was a big bump to you. It did bump you up. Yeah. Can we line that up? I feel I could go the other way now. He's been so shitty since the podcast. See if he'll come on our show. Yeah, we'd love him.

We have numbers. He is such a, I mean, we know about being grumpy old men. Aaron Rogers is, he'd be. thick as thieves in here with us. Well, that's just, you could sit on this. He would actually fit right in from my retiring. They bring in Michael Pittman, if that's what is. But he's hurt and can't play.

And they ask, oh, so do you think Pitt will be? I don't know. If he ever gets on the field. Let me know when he gets on it. He's hurt again. Actually. Yeah. Let me know.

D.K's dropping balls. Oh, yeah. They're running like the fewest plays on offense a game. It is piling on poor. Yeah. Say, my team has been totally. total dog shirt too. It's fun when they get into it.

Because then Jack will come back over the top with, well, maybe if you didn't have a hot girlfriend, maybe you can throw and stop throwing pig. And then just get boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. That's Justin Herbert, not me that you'd be mentioning with that. That's right. Chargers, steal, charges. Chargers are going to get pumped.

Yeah, they're going 9 or 019. Their next seven are extremely difficult. But knowing the chargers, here's what I know. you win some games no one thinks you are but you also lose the games that would be impossible on paper to lose. I think they lost the only Arizona. They lost in Cleveland to the Browns

in a year where they had one win. Like that's a charger's you thing to do. Vegas and Arizona, yeah. Like they'll win some game against a good team that they shouldn't. That's part of this experience. Someone will take them lightly. It'd be easy to take them lightly right now, wouldn't it? They look like shit. Yeah, it feels late early there. for sure. Big time. And this whole

oh, Mike McDaniels and Justin Herber, look at this offense. Ew. Yeah. Now McDaniel just kind of looks like, I think he's a pothead. Is they selling wheat? He had, but it's legal there. He had Tyreek Hill and we, maybe it was Tyreek and not this guy. Uh, uh, his post game interview. Yeah, we should have seen a coming. Um, we'll do some of this. We'll give you a little donation of the. A little donation of use centers of Calgary as we get into the super chat. We're doing the show live if you're watching, you put a comment in

with some money. Considerate a donation to the U. Centers of Calgary and then we get you on the show. Love it. It's that easy. Russ Warkman. $10. Non-hockey related, but an important question, nonetheless, what happened to the pheasant sweater that would periodically make an appearance on the old show?

I know where it is. That's from Dean's neighbor. Dean's neighbor. I know where it is. Do you? I wear it on, uh, Special occasions. I'll tell you what, I'll just, sometimes you'll see something, what I say,

ooh, yeah, I need that. And that I never do it. You got, you got lots of money. What do you call that? Is it a,

it had a weird, couch and sweater? Yeah, some kind of a term for it. It's basically just very thick woven wool. It's actually very scratchy. I was going to say, you need a layer underneath that.

That's a top layer. I can't talk. A long, sleevey thing underneath it. I would love to see the pheasant sweater guy. We had. Oh, that's right. There's an old man.

He might be dust. What are we talking? There was, we saw the guy in the corner where. That's how we got. That's right. That was the inspo. Yes.

He kept walking by like a little bit. Look at this man. This guy's sweater. Are we had a work event downtown somewhere? And I swung by the studio because Redhead had to hang up in there, went in, put on the pheasant sweater and showed up. And I was just like, I just can't wait to see it.

Yeah, it's like, what do you doing, you idiot? Yeah. Jack doesn't know what we're talking. No, that's all right. No. No, there is a, it's a bit, it's a bit, it's heavy. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's a eight pound sweater.

That is what you wear. You don't put that on before you step on the sky. No, you don't. No. I was thinking that's what we need. A sweater? Because here's the thing. If we can't be showing funny snake.

Yeah. It's videos. Maybe we need some props in here, like some hats and sweaters and slide whistles and kazzoos. We had props for your birthday and you didn't come in. That was a tough day. That was a tough day. You were down in the dumper.

Wasn't feeling well. And it was my 50th birthday. You were grumpy old fast. How are you on your 50th? Because I was the, I remember I kind of braced you for it. That was last year. Yeah. Yep.

We had Connie, give him a little. and then you razzed him from Mexico. Oh, earlier this year, right? Oh, whatever, nine months ago. Yeah, yeah. Last season. How far are you now? I'm 45 next week here.

Red for assistant coach. That's from Ken. 20 bucks. Connie ain't buying. I'd tell him ever to see him. I thought when we had him on the, I thought he was sounded a little interested there. He said you were going to come down. You'd be able to.

Was that just some lip service? I got to listen to this interview. He's bringing in every other. I don't think. I had planned to listen to the Connie chat on the flight home. Yeah. Only to have my entire flight derailed by people begging me to be head coach of a Division 2 hockey team.
