Hello. Jack. Hello, Jack. Hello. Hello, Dean. Hello, Rhett. Hello. Hello.

Hello. Did you hear his voice? Hello. Come to talk again. Hello. Still sick. What a dog. We've got to get a vitamin.

I take lots of vitamins. Do you? Some IVs or something. We need to get some. some real medicine. Didn't you OD on vitamin C like a month ago? Yes, I did. I was sick last time.

That didn't work. Just popping them like Pez. You ate like 30 a day. We did the four hour after burner. I went through a whole bottle of it. Oh, no, that's a treatment. I like that.

Sure. Yeah, yeah. Well, hey, it's another week of Barnburner. It's a presentation of Bet365, whatever the moment, it's never ordinary at Bet365,

official partner of the NHL and of a Barnburner. Thank you. be 19 or older and play responsibly. And you want to get involved during the course of the show. You're watching live on YouTube. You get a comment in with a little bit of a cash donation. We take the cash.

We get up to the youth centers of Calgary. And then we show your comment on the show. It's a good deal. It's a decent for everyone, especially the kids. It's really good deal. It's great for the kids. And for all the smart people out there that have great comment. Yeah, all the great thoughts.

All the wise. I've learned a lot. Sage? Sage is a bush, but I think it's a... Well, you burn it, right? Yeah. Some of the comments should be burning.

There's Austin. Lid on fire. Yeah, here we are. We'll get into our opening statements for McLeodlaw, McLeod-Dashlaw.com. Maybe you're like Jack. Maybe you've had a rough weekend. Maybe you need a little assistance.

Jack. MacLeoddashlaw.com. Legalese. Now, what hour are they supposed to release me from the drunk tank? Because I believe my rights are. I believe it's Peter Clyde. Yeah. Was it that kind of a weekend?

Is that why? No, he's too sick to even do that. I think no. It was a lot of sports watching. Oh, okay. Sick for a week. Oh, you should be all right.

Jack. Whatever the case that, you know, arises in life. You need some legal help. It's McLeod Law. Just know that. First thing that pops into your mind. MacLeod Law. You were away for a week.

Oh, so good to get some time off. Get down to some hot weather. Yeah. Just kick back. I needed a. Take some time for myself. And a huge development. Apparently you've discovered breakfast.

Yeah. Back on the breakfast train. I didn't know you were off. I don't know. I don't really do breakfast. I love breakfast. One of my favorite meals. One of my three favorite meals of the day.

Top three. Top three. That's top three meals of the day. But I don't typically eat it. So could you rank those by chance? There was this breakfast joint right by the hotel where it's called First Watch. They have a million dollar bacon. million dollars sounds pricey i was i spent fucking inflation and that's america wow

geez kills me screw killer it's tariffs but now i'm addicted to breakfast and i can't i can't resist well it must it must have been good because if it was if the quality wasn't good you'd have been see this is why i don't do breakfasts only one other breakfasts jointed i like better it's in scottstale by houston's where this got in the fight there's a joint there who they had the crab cake Benedict oh my kidding me yeah I'm unbelievable unbelievable god let's go okay spring uh spring spring training still on there's no who cares school break right now did you realize your kids are off this week mine art okay there they're the religious they're the religious ones one is okay yeah i've got one that's what nice thing that people say that have multiple children if you send

them to different schools oh yeah make sure you line up you get the jumbled schedules awesome what are we doing today dad well i've got some stuff to do but i guess yeah i'll come home and then we'll figure it out uh i'm working what are you doing son no since you've been gone since you've been gone we've seen the flames that maybe they're best and maybe they're worst i saw a six two shalacking oh was that ugly st patty's day we had the uh the watch party at cowboy's casino with the comfy recliners, they're bringing food and bevy to you. We're living the life. And then it was like, all we were missing was a competitive

hockey game because they got the fucking doors blown off from that night. I mean, aside from the game, how was? No, he was fine. I was well behaved. The thing is the, come on, truthfully. Well, the game did kind of affect the mood of

enthusiasm for the evening. Yeah. St. Paddy's day. There should have been plenty of. There was even some Leaf fans in St. Pat Jersey. And even they were like, yeah, I guess this is a get right spot for the Leafs. Like I'd love to bump it in. Even for them, it was kind of like, well, this wouldn't even be fun right now because this is too easy.

Yeah. And then they totally redeem themselves out of one three straight games since. In dramatic fashion, no less. Well, because the Rangers, that was one of the shittiest efforts I've seen from a professional outfit this year. They were down one nothing. And that's, well, first shot of the game. But after that, it was all flames.

And you're like, give them credit. They can't control how hard the Rangers work. And it really, like, they had that thing put to bed pretty good in terms of chances and all that. Screw you, Lavillette. We'll show you. But the devil's and the Islanders. I mean, we're talking about a team that can't score four goals for their lives. It's done at once since the turn of the calendar from Jan to February.

And all of a sudden, down in the third, what the hell is going on over here? Keep going. Just keep going. They actually have a four-goal third period to come back from a two-goal deficit and win. A four-goal third period. Third? Yes, to win and to a sco. you were old friend Jacob Markstrom.

Wow. Who Dean gave his tip of the cap for the tip of the cap. Really sucking. Cap? Because I feel like he was instrumental in the flames comeback. He was. A couple leaked right through him. With, uh, yes, how.

So a couple of shit burgers. So I know this is an 82 game season and you can't, you win and you take it. Yeah. Were they well deserved then? Or were, and then the Rangers just awful. Rangers were awful.

and a third Markstrom. Well, and give them credit. They fought hard in that one. And then the Islanders won, they're missing Weger, which is not a blue line that needs to be missing. It's the only guy that's a top pair guy, in my opinion, at this point. You're missing Backland already. And then Fairbys gets ill.

And the Islanders have been on a heater of late. We talked about it. They're right in the mix for a playoff spot. And they come back in that one. Yeah, the Islanders are dumb too, eh? They want to stick around and not make it. Yeah, they're like the penguins. What are the penguins now?

they're on a nice little roll. Yeah, they don't even Joe's sorry. Chuck's just disgusted. He was all of it. They almost beat Florida a lot yesterday. Yeah.

They got a point though. They did get a point. Yeah, and they got a point. Yeah, great. Bracking them up. They really could have had a nice kid playing next to Krazby next year.

Now they've got to wait two, three years. Good work, guys. Yeah. What was the, because I was reading, where are they now behind? They're right there with Boston now.

It's like, well, they're packing it in, though, right? I said it on the weekend. Whoever the Boston Bruins Western Canadian scout is, the pro scout needs to get fired. Because if you didn't seize it orov and Lindholm and Calgary and Vancouver and take some notes, that explains why you get all that money.

Thank God for them. Pittsburgh only six behind Montreal who Habs have three games in hand. Three. You know, other than that, they're going to be right there. As far as the flames, though, they continue to, it's the little things that we've kind of been impressed with. They're resilient. They work hard.

They don't score a ton. but within that they dig and they fight and they they found ways to come back. They scored timely goals. Huberd O with that tip. Huge. When it looked like, oh, well, this is kind of unfortunate with under two to go. Good effort. There's a good goal.

Up, tie it. Overtime, win. Maddie Coronado has a monster trip. He scores in all three New York area buildings. Try state, they say right. Try state. No one's done that since your boy Iggy and that was the only time anyone's done it in franchise history. Yeah. So tip of the cap to Maddie, you had sort of called that one, Boomcat coming out of the Toronto game. He said, look, this guy hasn't gone like six games without a goal.

He might be due. Ha, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, four goals on the road trip. And they found some new lines, which has, I think, helped stirred some of us. Huska. Was it Husky? He's also kept the same tie on. Yes, he has. He's wearing the same tie.

And they keep winning. So he puts it back on. Red and black cores. The diagonal strings. You know what else is in common? I was off. So maybe. Right.

Well, that's the other thing. Ryan Pike was on the road trip. Pike was in the tri-state area for these games. Wasn't in Toronto. No. Can't put that on him. And you were away.

When's their next road trip? I'll talk to Connie. I can arrange. No problem. Finding some beautiful locales to hang out in. Sure. Go south. that said they're still um

work to they're still right in a fight it's 12 games they haven't really gained a lot of ground no they've kind of kept pace yeah we're in the standings or so we're let's have a look here we're take a peeky poo this uh piquipoo brought to you by a mcloud law a little uh little peeky poo yeah there it is right uh the thing is with saint loss the bluzz they just keep rolling man they'd be good yeah what's going on to st. Dylan Holloway is a point per game player since Jim Montgomery took him. I think it's 50 and 50.

Yeah, he has been dino mite. Don't you like hearing that? I think I'm going to get a jersey. You just wear it around town. I'm so proud of the Calgary kid. Yeah, yeah. Last week we saw Broberg get an overtime winner from Holloway. From Holloway.

Holloway's getting points all over the place. But, I mean, it's not great news for the flames. It's great for other things. I'm going to find her solace somewhere. They're still there. There's games and hands. Just win your games. How's that St. Louis series that I talked about,

look right now and the one, you know, the one I would mention, no, no idea what you're talking about. Just was curious. It's actually, I told you so is later in the show, so you're going to have to wait for it. Damn it. I don't hold off and I told you so. They've got nine games or ten games left to the Blues.

Wow. Nine. Jeez. So was that good or I feel like that's good? That's it. I mean, they. Ten, nice. and soft schedule.

Oh, time off. So if the blues win. Preco back? Back, we're coming. Coming back. Are you doing math, Ryan? Just thinking, the blues are rolling. If they were to win six or seven of those 10 games left, that wouldn't be crazy.

And that means the flames are going to have to win eight to nine and hopefully got a tie. 93? 93 gets in? They win six. And we always said 95 was like usually a very safe number. but that's not easy for the flames to get there. That means you've got to reel off a really nice number. Yeah, I can't do the math.

If you went nine and four. So 95 points, you need. Nine and four would get you to 95. 18 more. So nine wins? It's a lot of points. Yeah, set it up. What do you?

I played it twice. Nine. How's that? Thanks. Nine twice. Is that a double? That's twice. Double up.

I mean the four point little thing there you need to split it's a totally different setup isn't it for those who don't know what we're talking there was a set earlier this season where very rare that it happens the same teams play each other in back-to-back games in the same city very rare flames and blues in st. Louis couple nights later flames and blues Tuesday Thursday and st. Louis and the flames lost them both yeah and no one was looking at those games not everyone anyway Some people. Some of the pros are looking at them. I'd have recognized.

Yeah. So if you take. Got to bury them right there. So that's four points. Proverbial is always. Calgary would be up to 81, Dean, if they got the four points. You see what I'm doing there. Where with St. Louis now, though?

Show us your hands. Even if you just kind of like, or some of this kind of. That's sort of a, it doesn't need to be that, but it would have been great right now. Am I doing that right? You know. Yeah. That's too bad that nobody listened. well i mean i think they wanted to win those games so we don't know that for you poopooed me when i brought

it up well i mean yeah if jack it was good at a job he'd go back and find my quotes but jack go get his quotes would you you know they would have like to win these games yes rat they would have no they were must wins i say okay i was got over there must loses you can finish in the top well he's playing too damn hard no not those ones weren't must loses it was it was yes other games are cool. Because that's the other thing. We've heard a lot from Ryan and everybody about

where you don't want to be. Peak pain. You don't. There's a certain little kind of a quadrant little region. Don't be there. There's 32 teams in the league. Or here.

Again, more of here or here. So there's 32 spots you can finish. You can finish first all the way to 32nd. There's just six that are peak pain. And the flames are on a collision course. It hurts here. With a migraine. Here or here, but right here.

Peak pain. Yeah. But they're alive and they control their own destiny. As crazy as that sounds for, you know, we didn't think this team could get to 80 points. And here they're eyeing up ways to get 95. Yeah, what was the bet I had? The 81 and a half? Was that over?

That's not on me. I told you so. That one's not going to play as well. I know. You really got to get the skids. Yeah. I think we're all in the end of there. be fair.

81 and a half. So it's Seattle tomorrow. Biggest game of the year. Biggest, biggest must win games. I'm looking at it. 5.0. The Bogotty. Biggest game of the year, 5.0. It's the fifth time you said it.

You've missed a lot. I like that. And we wondered, did we mention it before the Toronto game? We don't know. No, but the Rangers, Coleman said it. So we had to honor him at his word. And then clearly the devil's against an old, old friend.

old friend. But Bogotty 5.0 coming up tomorrow night at the dome. If you had the March the 25th tickets, I don't think you thought that was going to be. Seattle, I'll sell these. And what's Seattle doing?

I mean, they're running out. Depleted Oilers team on Saturday. I don't. What are they doing is a very good question. That's a good question, Dean. Ron Francis looks like he's GMing to save his job.

That's what it looks like that's been going on there. he's where you would want to be. Top 10. Yeah. Slash bottom 10. Bottom 10. Which by June gets you. Yeah.

Yeah. They're doing their part. Yeah. Yeah. Um, the goaltending has been good. Dan Vladar. He actually,

have the three wins they got right. What the hell you need this? I got two of them. Oh, we got to get, we got to bring Kooley in. Kooley's the guy. Kooli is the guy.

Kooli is got a one way next year. at very reasonable number. Dan Vlodar is a free agent. So there's a conversation to be had, but Dan Vlodar at the money he makes, not sure. Really? It's been a nice run.

He's had lots of nice runs. At the end of the year, he's always $8.95. I don't know. Is he helping you get in the playoffs? Right now he is. He wasn't in the fall. Yeah. I mean, it's just, it's a nice run.

It really is. Well, that $2 million goalie should be perfect. You should do better. I think it's closer to three. Shouldn't he be like, it's 2.2? Come on. 2.2.

Okay. I was like Dan Vladar. What the, what are you doing? 2.2? You can't leave. Caps going up. 2.2.

You know what? That's not. I thought it was closer to 3. So I'm going to, can I take that back. Yes, you can take that. If in fact,

it's 2. And I'm being cheeky. But why would you mess with a tandem that's working? Maybe there's another tandem that would be even better. Yeah. Why would it be? How could it be better?

Well, No, brought up the name last week, Jake Allen, who's been stellar as a backup as Holker and really good this year with the Devils. It's been much better than Markstrom since Four Nations. He's a free agent this summer after very confidently suggesting any year left on his deal, my fault. That would be an upgrade and a veteran guy.

I just don't know what Dan is at this point, right? Like he can definitely come give you 25 games. Some are going to be shit burgers. Some are going to be fine. I agree. I think with like with everything. We're looking to upgrade at every person. Why wouldn't you?

Yeah, that's your job as GM, right? Not that Dan's a fallback, but maybe. And to our, I mean, to our detriment, we've not really gone and scoured the backup goalie UFA market just yet. You haven't? I have not. No, honestly, I can, I'll be fully honest with you. I've not done that. But if it's, if Lidar is the best case at the end of the day for what the money you want to devote to the backup spot, you want someone who's going to do a little this.

There's got to be some cohesiveness. Do a little this with, with Wolfie. The most important thing is what, what is Wolf Neat? not how does Dan feel have you seen this coolly guy he's goofing around and smiling and joking and animated like maybe wolf hates that he was having an MVP caliber season until the injury and he hasn't been the same since so i don't know what to make it work it cooley's at i don't know yeah it's been a tale of two seasons for sure and so as the roster i mean they could have easily just reclaimed walker dure and stashed him they didn't it's been a rough go for the for the wranglers yeah who's coaching suts yeah That's also something, not as a knock, but at first, like, Oh, yeah, I'm sure it's the deep end, right? He got thrown in the deep end. He was playing, what, a year ago?

A year ago, you're all there. It's not like it's. No, of course, but I, again. Oh, so he should just know all. No, I'm just, in a perfect world, you don't have to shuffle your bench midseason, right? Right. And to a rookie coach. Yeah, I mean, he's learning the ropes at this point.

I'm not saying he's not doing a good job. I have no idea, but ideal world, you know, Trent Cole, good looking cowboy, is still running that bench because that's what you hired him to do. do you just love taking runs at sutter's behind the bench hey just me i'm trying i i was observing i know obviously i'm very excited yeah obviously yeah that's me right i'm taking runs so what's yeah so let's i see jack's got the old uh should doley there let's take a look should take a gander at uh at what it is so there's a month you see the four game roadie what a trip what a trip what a trip Really good trip.

I don't know that you could feel more differently about this team all year than you did the night of the 17th when we were at Cowboys Casino. And then after that comeback, dramatic overtime victory on Saturday. I mean, it's five days apart. It feels like their universe is apart. No what I mean? No question. The tone on the 18th show. Yeah.

Not great. No. Pack it in. Let's start losing. Rangers are going to be ready to go. go there in a must win situation. And the thing was, six, two, it could have been eight two. Yeah, Dan Vladar, excuse me, Dustin Wolf in the first period.

I mean, it could have been four bagel. Because we joked about also the goalie got pulled. You guys got lit up. Golly was ship. No, he was the best player. He was the best player. He was the best guy that night. They were just drunk in Toronto.

Maybe four for St. Paddies. I knew the liked that Vlar comes in and the third first shot goal. Okay. Well, this is good. And then he starts in the Rangers. First shot goal. you're thinking, oh, well, this season's cooked.

Terrific. Yeah, but they had time to lose and take on a different task if they kept, went, you know, back to the 18th and lost those three games. We'd be way back, eliminate six points like we're right in the mix. You'd be top 10 pickland, I'll tell you that. Hey? So this week, it's Seattle and Dallas at home then to Edmonton. We'll see about the Oilers on the weekend.

Both Drysidal and McDavid have been listed as missing about a week. David got injured in a game and Drysidal didn't start the game the other night. They can come back the 30th. They can. Yeah, sure. Sure. It was only the third time, I think, since they both been on the roster that they both missed a game Saturday at the same time. What an opportunity for guys.

Then the new. Then you really get to look at where the other $70 million their spending goes. All right. Dallas looks tricky. Yep. I think they're a good team. In what way do you mean by tricky? like they're sneaky like they have really good coaching watch your wallet plays yeah flying

i also gonna need so like is it is it the robertsons or the rantanans or the hins or the hinses or the hyacens or the hars or the or the ottingers yeah like which what do you what's the tricky part it's a blend okay depending on the night it could be anyone any combo or all of them it could be the cumulative blend that's tough yeah that's a tough one to get over i don't know they I give them credits again. It may not end up getting them into the playoffs and it may not get them a top 10 pick and all of that and that's going to be very frustrating.

But if you just look at what it is that they've got, the skill that's in that room, it just feels like this is close to max output that you can get from a team based on that roster. You should be getting more from Sharon Govich, no question. He's played center now, so I'll at least give him a pass on that. But yeah, bad year. they're a low scoring team.

Lowest. That's finding a way to win games. I get why it's frustrating for people that don't want it. Because there are, why would we fight to get in just to get railroaded in round one? You lose a good draft pick. It's a waste of a week. Maybe you get disoriented by what you think you are.

Well, we're close. If we could just add another score. Maybe we're a playoff. team, look how good wolf is. We've got lots of gap space. Right. Let's spend it. That is a real concern because we just, we see it all the time.

And I don't know how much responsibility to put on GMs versus ownership versus upper management. But when this team has thought they're closer than they were, they've made their worst mistakes. And it happens to a lot. Troy Brower, James Neal, Travis Hamannick trade, all those deals were we think we're a guy or two away. And they weren't on any of them. Chris Wells. Well, that's going way back. Yeah.

It's not even the same team. Oh, sorry, but similar circumstances. This Stu Barnes and Willie. No, that was Florida forever ago. Oh. I think we've had three owners since then. Yes. Those rings.

They're not even the same city. Yeah. Okay. Ready. You over that yet? So, look, I didn't, March 24th. I didn't think we'd be talking about playoff chases with this team at the start of the year. But here we are.

Yeah, it was right now you were looking at, imagining being, okay, who are we drafting? Like how? Oh, we even have top five or we, yeah, it would be. We'd have those draft profiles all done. Bill Terwilliger Jr. is a power forward coming out of UMass. We'll get there. Yeah. But just not yet.

They will pick twice in the first round. It's just very much looking like it'll be two picks in the 20s instead of one in the top 10. we thought we would that's okay this draft shits anyway top 10's all right but yeah not ideal i have no clue this draft shit who's in it can you name five guys no that's the problem horrible draft that's right no mackennas no duponts what the hell are we supposed to do do did i see something where this mckenna has like a 50 game point streak sort of thing yeah we got some stats in the pender report coming up about that he's uh too good for the league he's playing and he's just 17.

He's had a year. Yeah, he's had a year. Service Credit Union, the Big Share Contest. It's back, it's been going for a while, and we're kind of getting down to it. You've got about a month left. What do you need to do? You become a member at Service Credit Union,

start saving some money, getting entries into the Big Share contest, and you could win $1 million just by saving money. Get your paycheck, automatic deposit, into your account, bonus entries. High yield savings, get a savings account, entries.

More bonus. GICs, RSP's, bonus, bonus entries, entries. All the details are at service.ca slash win. Contest ends April 30th, 2025. There is a skill test required, but it's a chance to win a million dollars. I'd suggest that's good incentive. There's a million bucks in the line.

You could probably really work on your skill testing question, skills. Spend some time. Get it right. Mail it. Take your time. That's right. S-E-R-V-U-S.

You see it right there under. I saw another one on the weekend. I went and watched the Okotok's Oilers right across street, boom, right there. Right there. Yeah. I didn't know our bore Mike Gould was doing the in-house entertainment thing. Oh, yeah. He's juggling, he's eating hot dogs, spitting plates, spitting fire.

Yeah. Wow. So good that guy. Yeah. Service.org. Yeah. Did that one where he took his underwear off without taking his pants off? So good.

out of his sleeve. So good. How did he do it? Crazy. How? Yeah, so good. This weekend, we are going to be that game that may or may not have McDavid and dry sidel in it. Fingers crossed.

We're going to be hanging out at Richmond's pub, just down the street, just over there in the heart of Glamorgan. Just there. We've been due. It's time. Just order. I was just going to say, this is great, but now I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'm starving. And I had those buns the last time I was there.

They were good. Oh, the pizza is so good. And I got to have wings. The good news is that it's like a three to four hour slot there for that game. If you want to catch the end of the evening games and then stay for after you. You do it all. Yeah, I want to hit the dance floor. Yeah, they don't, they won't come up to your table.

Warnsey. One word. Didn't feel appropriate to put on it. We're just some schlubs, but they want to make sure that people don't think Todd Warner's going to be there. That's right. Spell it right. A lot of confusion. How's your brother, Todd? God.

He's great. I got a call coming in. He's killing it out there. Is it Trevor? Is Trevor? Boomer, Pinder and Trevor? No. Orette.

Right. A little watch party Saturday. To be a huge game. Yeah. And we don't have to do a show after. No, God. No. Yeah.

Which is nice. Glory, glory. Hallelujah. The Oilers actually are in the thick of these games matter. LA has passed them for Olmeison round one. The oilers say don't care about anything other than playoffs and how they do. Fair.

Fair. L.A. is going to turn it into a bit of a problem. We'll explain more later. Why don't you explain more now? I got in the Pinder report. That's what I'm saying. If you want to read the Village Honda thing, then I'm happy to. Village Honda!

a big pile of a pool, coins, which had to hurt. He had a pool of coins. I think that every time I'd do like the backstroke in the coins and like spit out coins. No, I don't know, Scrooge McDuck. Are you familiar with launch pad? You remember the launch pad? Yeah, the helicopter. The golf thing? Oh.

I asked him who Elroy Jetson was today. I don't know. Wait, was that one? They was the Jets. I figured it out. The space show. Jack's too busy Jack figured out that Elroy Jetson

was from the Jetsons Yeah well he needed some clothes but we got him there Have you heard of George Jefferson? Is he from the Jeffersons? Yes Jack Awesome he didn't It was jogging as remember what the Jetsons actually was Yeah

Anyway well uh It might be on us though Pinder It's totally on us and Jack's a busy guy Like I'm going to show you here as we head over to Flamesnation.com. He's got a new side hustle. It's called right. Oh baby. Are you a writer?

I'm a writer. And so I guess when you're writing, how do you do it? Do you just say AI write me in Elite 8 column or how did it go? No, there was no AI involved in this article. Are you laughing or you? Oh, it's 100% AI. Okay, thank you. I'll still be invoicing you Pike.

Good. Yeah, excellent. Mike. Which we'll get to in a moment, but the Elite 8 voting is now open. and we do need to get ret rest of the with the bracket. Incredible opening round with zero upset somehow. Really? But it's set up some Titanic matchups in round two.

We'll get to it later. Let's get to the Flames where it was Maddie Coronado homecoming week. The last Flames player to score a goal against the Islanders, Devils, and Rangers, and a single road trip, Jerome Ginnla, who did it in 99,000. Good company from that Coronado. Corny. Yes, Ryan, you're right. Corn.

These are the only two New York metro hat tricks in Flames history. Good company. It's been great. Over 20? I don't know. I haven't watched. First, yeah, no, that's fine. First full season in the league.

Last year, he's first out of college. He bounces between the American League and the NHL. Second year pro, full year in the NHL, already 20. What is a reasonable expectation for Matthew Cornado moving forward? 40. He's a lot like Tafoli. Tough dog. how dare you insults skating just regurgitating you know i was thinking about it on the weekend

i was thinking he looks maybe a little bit like uh tyler to foley he used that one shit in january damn it yeah the skating's not similar but she could beat a guy clean with the shot i actually liked the to folly thing because people were really upset with the skating what are you talking about yeah i didn't check that what's the nchl has the stats for how fast speed bursts yeah yeah Yeah. My bad. Thoughts on the season he said. Boom. We've talked to, I mean, there's the consistency there,

and it sounds like a six-game thing is what you can go five without, but he has been steadily chipping away. And he's, he looked very good on this road trip, obviously. These aren't going off his ass and in. These are clean shots. Maybe there are shots from distance that go off something, but still there's velocity there. There was the one he scored, not that not the one off of the defenseman in,

but took the. pass at top speed, got it off in a hurry, beat the goalie clean. It's, it's, it's, I'm impressed. Very good player. Also taking, uh, silver spoon, new here, uh, face off on special teams on the right side. Really? A little center at Harvard. They just don't have a right hand centerman that they could put out there for power play.

So that's been helpful. And I don't know. Like I, I just, I, gold tweeted it on the weekends. Like 30's going to come quick. And you're like, yeah, like next year 30 wouldn't surprise you at all. He was drafted to be a sniper. He's always scored goals in his first full year. He's 20 and he's got two weeks to go, three weeks to go.

You hope he doesn't hit that sophomore slump? Oh, damn it, Dean. Luckily, he's heading into his third year. Well, and because, you know, it's always, trajectory is always just continue to like Sharon Govich. That's right. It's just, 20 becomes 22, then 25 and 30 and like a man, Japan. He is part of a newly assembled line that really carried the team this road

Frost in the middle and Jonathan Huberto on the left side who is having. What? Oh, boy. And incredible, this can't be right. Jack, get our fact checkers on this. Is this fake news? Does Jonathan Huberto have more goals than Connor McDavid? It's not misinformation.

It's disinformation. Oh, yeah. It's something. It's nothing we saw coming. I'll tell you that. Some huge goals on this road. trip, maybe none bigger than the late equalizer against the Islanders on Saturday. It's been great.

Who's actually meat? You're happy for him. Absolutely. You're happy for him. He didn't want to come here and suck. That's how it went for the first year. He didn't want to come here. They didn't want to come here at all.

He got traded here. And then they offered him obscene amount of money. And he's like, God damn it, I got to take this. It's been awesome. Congrats to him. Hubie Mania. You be made you. It's running wild.

It's the only matter of time. Yeah. You're going to get that back up and running. Yeah. Hello. What's that? Hello. I heard something.

Is you? Someone in the chat. What are we going to do? Jack? Come on, Jack. Keep going, Ryan. Wildcard standings. Hello?

One more time. There it is. Four back. Three games in hand. That's weird. That's a large gap of games played. It shouldn't be this big. Remember we had the wildfires.

in LA? No. That's game that got moved to April 17th, looms large. Just imagine if that game matters, Dean. I know. You ever heard that? Imagine that. Imagine. Imagine. Imagine. Hey, Jack. Margin.

Imagine. Imagine for today. We'll show you the schedule again. A good segment. Imagine. Imagine. It's just so dumb. Two game homestamp for a three game road trip.

What this says schedule doesn't show you. is that Edmonton, Colorado, Utah has three games and four nights. It's the final back to back of the season, Monday the 31st and Tuesday the first. That's it. It's a tough roadie. Dumb.

Oh, so many more games. A lot of games. A lot of these games. A lot of Anaheim. Every other day. A lot of Vegas. Look at a lot of San Jose. They play every other day from the first to the end of the year.

The first, the third, the fifth, the seventh, the ninth, the 13, 50, All right. Who's, well, let's, should we, let's, already?

Should we go through all the wins? Do you want to just do March for now? Back one up. When? Don't, it's jenksy. Oh, do.

Dallas is really good. Depend, Edmonton, he could beat, especially if McDude and his buddy or out. Is it a German? I don't know what to make those abs. Don't like it.

Great city was just there. Really? Beautiful. Mounds. Right in there. Mountain? You don't say, mountains out there?

Yeah, my kid didn't like it at always. This place is a dump. I said, look at this. Mountains on one side and the prairies right there on the other. Feels familiar. You ever been there a place like that? No. What a place that would be, though.

Oh, it's gorgeous. Yeah. East Wildcard, equally, if not more entertaining than the West. Look at all the combatants in this one. Look at the sabers. Oh. No, sabers. Sorry, we're not doing the bottom bottom.

Montreal, clinging to the final wildcard. They're up one point in the round. Rangers, but have two games in hand. They'll play St. Louis this week. Islanders aren't going away. There are only two back games played even. And Columbus is going to get a boost in the arm tonight with the return of two players that have missed a bunch of time with injury.

Detroit, wet fart, hanging around. Wet fart. Is that what a wet fart does? It just lingers. It's not going to kill you, but it sucks. I've had a very different experience. Let's just, let's leave this east standings. as is.

Yeah, I'm good with that. Yes. And we can start messing around with the seating in the divisions. Stop the vote. If Toronto wins the Atlantic, if Toronto can win the Atlantic and they're two back with a game in hand, they will play one of Ottawa or Montreal. And that is must watch television. Either of those rivalries are just elite.

It also would set up an all Florida, Tampa and the Panthers. Like that's also sensational. Or it could be a washing. Florida versus those two and then. Yes, totally. I still want Ottawa Montreal in because those other teams I've said, Columbus I'm fine with. Good story.

There's, we want, there's some heart and soul right there. Rangers and Islanders can go away. Yeah. Screw off. Yeah. Dog shirt. Well, and the Rangers effort against the flames you talked about how awful it was. They put up 12 shots and beat Vancouver the other night.

Oh, it is gross there. Lavalette, Dead Man walking. Yeah, you're done, but. There's major changes coming. LA Kings putting a move on here. Poor guy's going to get canned. Because Dr. Not his fault.

Oh, look who's having fun in L.A. Is that our Yeager? No, that's our. That's our cozy. I was like, who the hell is this guy?

Skip the fire helmet on. He scored back to back games. Hercules. Herculees. Still needs to double his total to hit the over on 13 and a half. Oh, boy but up to seven yeah wow guys really been carrying the mail there how about this 7272

carolina and uh who do they play yesterday boston boston because it was swayman we almost had a goalie fight did you see this red oh i was watching it live i was so excited kepper and swayman both leave the creases helmet off for swayman he's at center ice kepper comes roaring in stinking zebras grab him You know what? What are we doing here? Who the, the, are you to, let's show the video. Run the tape, Jack. Let's go, Jack.

We don't have the video. Run the tape, though. That's good. Things have changed. We've really found ourselves. You really had a goalie fight. Didn't have one. Really?

Thanks for telling us. Yeah. Visual world. You want some video, the rest getting in the way of a good time? We got it. Gross. It would. fall flat.

Quentin Byfield, it would just anger you, but it would make the point that, yeah. I watched Marty McSorley fights yesterday on the plane. Oh. Holy F. He was tough. He was a big. He did not lose many. Martin.

And Darren Langdon fought for four minutes. Come on. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, bong, bach, bong, boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom, bum, bum, boom. Like, it's like, are you feeling any of what's hitting your face? We're just going to keep punching, are we? Yeah. Like it wasn't the wild, but it was like, it was a four minute just.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. It just. It's unbelievable. Yeah. Sorry, Ryan. Back to you. Back to me, Rhett. Quinn Byfield on a heater.

Home points shoot nine games. 14 in there. No, they're not moving that guys. Nor Brant Clark. Oh, any other good young players you want. Can't get Clark either. No, they're going to keep all the. Good players.

What are with these guys? Longest home points strict by a player under 23. It's lucky Luke Robatai. Are you kidding me? It's good company. Front door. This Rob Blake's an idiot. What's he doing out there?

Terrible at this job. Fire his ass. That was happy. See you a few months ago. facetious. Yeah. What he said. Columbus Blue Jackets can some help.

Look who's back. Couple old flames. Look who's back. A couple old friends. Monnie's back. Got to get a gutty. Eric Branson coming back and Sean Monaghan, who's been gone for months.

Did gutty play at all this year? Or was he injured and? I thought he didn't. It doesn't, just not much. It's okay. Let's know we didn't have to fight. We don't need to fight.

So congrats to the jackets. Need it. Yeah. They've stumbled here the last couple of weeks and they're in that playoff race, but they were in a wild card a few weeks ago, not anymore. Tonight's games,

let's take a look at it. Jackets are in action. We've got them. in our bet three, six, five bets later on as they are on Long Island. The Hughes Bowl. Hughes Bowl for sure. Huh? Only two of them there.

And one of them, Gimpy a bit, but two is better than zero, they say in the Hughes family. Who's not playing? Jack's done for the year. Oh, he'll be ready for camp.

That's too bad. And Quinn's kind of limping and still the best player that the Canucks have. Yep. He's very sore. Yeah. Yeah. What would you call that? Tender?

Is he tender? He's a little tender. Yeah. Wild have had come off an oppressive week. Two goals allowed their last three games. They're in Dallas. That's the Norm Green Bowl. And Wings and Utah's teams trying to remain relevant in their respective wild card chases.

Just don't fellas. Just don't remain relative. Yeah. Just don't. Help yourselves. Help us. Interesting. Help you.

That's right. Okay. I'm going, Wild Stars is our banger of the night. No. Top. Hughes Brothers is going to scratch. There we go.

So there you go. Game. Got the graphic for game graphics. You know he loves them so much. I think I'm doing something to me too. Are you doing, are you on prime? Have they hired you?

No. Hired everyone else. You and Adnan? Choping it up? Good. Is it just me or does Luke Hughes look like a young Mark Giordano there? No.

Really? Gosh, it's, Luke Hughes? And that, his face looks like Mark Jordanano there. Is that Luke Q? That's,

Eko Heeshire. That would make more sense. Okay. I was assuming it was a Hughes Bowl. Thank you, Dean. That makes way more sense. Oh, boy. Jesus Christ. Let's look at the W.HL. 13 on the ice. Last night, the final game. Devil's captain, Luke Hughes. I just, we got to talk about the Hughes. I'm like, God, that looks like Gio. What the hell is going on? He sure doesn't. Luke. I'll take. Just for good measure. Yeah. Back to you, Ryan. W. H.L. First round matchups are set. Oh, last night. It was first place on the line as Medicine Hat and Calgary played. Tigers win 5-2.

Last game of the year gets them top seed in the east. They'll host Swift Current. PA and Edmonton. Calgary has to be a three-seed because they're second-best in their division. And they get Saskatchez.

Oh, I'm going to go watch that one. Dean, you want to go? Yeah. And then Hurricanes Wheat-Kings, Wheaties, your other match-up out east. Now, how far is the travel there? Lethbridge to Brandon.

I'll look it up. Keep going, Ryan. Here is your schedule for Hitman Blades, at least for the first four, the necessary games. The if necessaries, we're not telling it. Friday, Sunday, here in Calgary, Sunday, that'll be electric. And then Tuesday, Wednesday, midweek in Tune Town.

Nine and a half between Brandon and Blasbush. Yeah, it's a bit of a hall. And what's Sastatoons about six on the bus? Yeah. Five if you floor it, not on a bus, though. Bus is tough to floor. You don't want to floor it because bus is comfortable. You got the, you got Wi-Fi, TVs,

orly fights. A couple movies. movies, some cards. Maybe get some candy for the ride, the other, the east or the east or no east or no west. No west. There's a,

there's two teams playing in a playoffs out there, Dean, that one's called Prince George. Yes. One's called Portland. Yeah, is that what they say it? Yeah, that's about a 13 and a half hour. Yeah. Nice to get back and forth a bit.

They're really stretched. It works out fine because it's in the mountains in the past. It's good. And border crossing would be. Oh, these, days. Great. They'll even just wave them through. Yeah. Oh, man. More W.HL

news. Look at this. That's a road trip. Officially official. The Penticton v.s are moving to the Western Hockey League next year. An expansion franchise been granted and hey, Chilowack Jr. A team. Screw you. We're accepting applications for teams in Chilowac.

Chilowalwack. What you got to do? What you got to do? What you got to do? You know what they're singing there, Jack? I do know the song, but I don't know the name. Do you know the name of the band? No.

The band is called Chilliwack. That makes sense. Mind blown. What other Canadian bands can you name named after Canadian cities? You know what? Toronto. Toronto. Oh, yeah.

What is your mama going to do when daddy's? That's right. Oh, boy. I've heard some rumors. I mean, nothing's off limits. So you're a big V's lover? How do you feel about this? I said they were in Okotokos on Saturday.

I went out and saw Fred Harbison head coach GM president. I was just to make sure the facility was fine. Yeah. It's good. Look, they have all they've done is groomed kids for college forever. And now the WHL is probably the best place to do that. So it makes sense for them to do this. And as we saw first him,

they have a great dressing room facility. Multiple dressing rooms. Yeah, it's quite a nice room. They will be whoever plays. Just one quick question here. Oh, what's the,

where's the tournament always played for the NHL team? The young stars. Is this going to throw a wrinkle of the plans? Do we have to find a new facility? It was canceled a while ago. Oh, damn. Probably in anticipation of this.

Because you guys were out there last year. We were, yeah. Complex deal. Mike Richter is taking a slice ownership of the team. $15 million is the rumored fee to join the WHL. There is a payment to Colonna for territorial infringement thing. And we'll see what happens with Chilowack. Make for good travel, though.

Yeah, nice 45 minutes. Because, of course, Mike Richter, Penticton native. Sun played on the team a few years ago. So New Indyke. Yeah, New Indyx, two kids have played on the team. Amates. Lots. I saw Brendan Morrison's name up.

in the rafters. And then I saw Brendan Morrison where I just was. Unbelievable. Shut the front door. Yeah. Brett Hull? What a guy. Yeah. I don't like Brett holes. No. Scored a goal. Gloria! He scored

a lot of goals. One of them. Cheated. Expansion draft May 7. That's probably about all we got for the W.HL. Wrong. Dead near commissioner is on the sheet today with Jeff Merrick. I'm curious. What did they mean by expansion draft? Well, Penticton is going to be able to pick over the rosters

and based on a set of rules, the leagues of them, select players to join their team. Don't they have a team? Junior A team, yes. They'll have probably five, six, seven guys from that, and they send most of their kids to college, so they're turning over the whole roster.

Thanks, Ryan. Five to six guys, this was the thought. Okay, uh, where are we at? We'll move here and dear. Gavin McHanmore, WHL,

I lied. This is the season a 17-year-old is having. 40-game point streak, pretty good. A hundred points over that streak. I don't know that you can do this in a video game. Final tally, I mean, maybe Ronican national 94, but he was good. Real good.

56 games played, 41 goals, 88 assists, 129 points. That's the season. The 40-game point streak, 100 of those points. That's a lot of points in 40. And a year away from the draft. Yeah, so much so that I don't, he needs to move up a league. Where do you go from here? If he's draft eligible, huge, huge prospect, huge story.

He's one with a bullet. Yeah, it's bigger, hype than bad, but are it probably. Frank, man, I'm scored more than that. Ray Farrow at 105, didn't he? Gross. A lot of goals. Michigan Spartan, Michigan Wolverine.

Where's you going? Don't get the, I'm steering clear that one. Don't be surprised. That's all I'll say. People don't want to be here. Don't just. If you're in medicine hat, you don't think you, the.

Tigers fans, we're excited to hear you talking shit. I'm not talking shit. I'm trying to give them a heads up on what's going to happen. 26, we go one more. Oh, the Frozen Four. Here we go. Yes. So speaking of college,

two Calgary prospects will be in the tournament. Arsenie Sergiv is going to play. Where is he on there? Yukon. Is that right? No, Penn State is a Penn State. They play Maine, another three seat. And then, of course,

We have, hey, Jack, can you make the font a little smaller? Yeah. Keep going. Denver. You love Denver. I was just in Denver. I know. Moutons on one side, prairies the others.

Didn't have a Denver in Denver. Heaven on earth. I can't believe you didn't have a Denver in Denver. I texted Jack. That's crazy. It should be everywhere. Yeah. Best Denver in Denver.

That'd be what I was doing. There might be one college game left in our Sunniyev's career. I think the flames are really going to try to sign them as soon as it's done. UMass starts against Minnesota. Pick them off. Fargo quadrant of the tournament. Just a heads up on that. There's 16 teams left. That's correct. That's the start. They start with 16.

They'll finish roughly. Who do you like? The one seed's usually pretty good. Old pal of the show and former Flames employee, Luke Strand's Minnesota State University is in. They've got Western Michigan who were

surprised winners of the NCHC. Who is this person? you just said. Friend of the show? Yeah. Loves the show. Big friend. Huge friend.

Spent a lot of time together in the summer. You used to go to piano bars in the American League with him. Okay. Has he been on the show? I think it once or twice, yeah. On this show? Not the pod, but, you know, our show. I don't know.

It's all right. Friend of the show, guy I've never heard of. You don't have friends. I have lots of friends. That's the difference. I want to go to Allentown. I want to hear Allentown and Allentown. I want to have a Denver and Denver.

Yeah, you want to have a Denver and Denver. Yeah, you want to have a friend. I listened to Toronto and Toronto and Toronto. Boston and Boston. Yeah. Let's go. That's a hell of a tour right there. Do do, do, do, do, do, do do do do do do do do.

Ah, do what I'm talking about Jack? Come on, Jack. Come on, Jack. No idea. God's sitting back to Allentown. Hell's wrong with you. Wake up. So disappointed.

Now, old friend. Uh-huh. Friend of the show, old friend. show. Luke Spritz. It was in Calgary, but it was the wrong time being Calgary. It was COVID. They had a young family. Josh Lavo just scored 49 goals in the KHL, a record.

49 is the most. It's pretty good. Most ever in the K, nine shy of the Western Super Elite record. I feel like COVID-9. I think so, too. I don't know. But that's the Record. Josh Lavo, fourth liner, in and out of the lineup.

I wonder what he's getting paid over there. A couple Schmel for sure. Lighten it up over there. 31. Good for him. Why are we bringing him up? He's a former flame friend of the show. If you wonder where fourth liners go to die,

the set records in Russia, apparently. They're not dying. They're getting paid big bucks over there. Big bucks. He's on the gas. Is that right? Jack, you did some homework. That's what I heard.

No, that means. But he's on the rest. gas on the gas gather the USA soccer nation's league third place game uh canv has done well hockey women's hockey soccer you watch out baseball and basketball we're coming for you what about hockey yeah I did say but I mean

Okay. But I did watch some extended highlights. It was, they'd pedal out of the ball, the great possession. Fonsa Davis got hurt. It didn't matter. Americans are bitching and moaning and whining.

They're not good enough, boys. So what are they going to do at left back? They slid, Alejandro. Alejandro. Alejandro. Alejandro. Alistair Johnson went and played left back.

He slid over from the right side. That's what I would have done to. Yeah. Worth he playing this year? Are they still cheating the coaches? No, they got new coaches now. They're just cheating better. They're not getting caught.

He's smart. You know what they did? They hired an American that really wanted to coach the Americans. And now every time they play the Americans, it's like they're shot out of a cannon. The new American coach they just brought in. Back-to-back losses. Panama and Canada. Panama.

Fires ass. Just hired. a lot of money lots of term left so mixing a win then pal yep do it pal uh that that's where i was windsurfing the other day yep that's where i was the last week you wouldn't believe because you expect a lot of things in the wind surfing not this that's a whale are you dead now that's crazy time makes everything that whale's totally bleeping with him he knows jack watch is six times he's like what is that Is that a submarine?

Mark Knobflare here. Man. Money for nothing. Chicks for free. One car, two car. It's a bad word in that song. Is there? Oh. Well, they're rebels with those beards. And finally, a couple items for you.

This is a waste of time. It's just insane that people choose to do that. We're talking about the 999. We're going to find a date and a time. Jack and I are going to do it. But the Mets are like... I thought we had a date in a time. Isn't it like this week?

We have a conflict. It's not working. But we will, we will... Ratt, offer a conversation. The good thing is the Mets aren't waiting for anyone. Check this out. The dog bowl. 1299, you get the helmet bowl and 12 hot dogs.

I mean, how are you not buying it? You have to. How are you not buying it? 1299. Yeah. Dude, you could feed a family with that. That's unbelievable. 1299, that's like a bird of there.

That's not even a special. Every game. That's incredible. Is that no question? What? That logo is, like, is that AI? Because that's not a Mets logo. Is this.

shit. You son. That's not a Mets. Can we go look at Polly Mets? That's very much an AI Mets logo. Yeah. Now, again, I guess if you were going to. And if that was one game of the year, I could see it.

But every game you're giving away. Sure isn't a Mets logo. I know that you mentioned that. But if you were going to just for. Oh, yeah. It might look like this. What would hot 12 hot dogs in a. Right.

I guess that's a batting helmet. It's not a very good one again. No, and again, look at the dogs. They're just astray. The buns kind of just. So let's just never mind the photo. Let's just the thought. Yeah.

For 1299, 12 hot dogs. It's like 17 bucks. It's too cheap and there's no way you're going to go to a ball game when a beer is $18 and get a 12 dogs for 12 bucks. It's incredible. It's a lost leader. It must be the saltiest dog. in town you're going to be buying beer all the salty dog yeah you can't buy 12 dogs at the grocery

store no 12 not here this guy is 44 followers i don't think he's a very reliable source but it's got a bunch of views there jack 2.9 milly that's true he can have a lot how's you not add more followers what's going on here come on pa paul well dummies are getting sucked in by no they are we might have just got sucked in uh finally rats be very sheepish about it, but the reason he was gone all last week. It's because he and the shoveler were renewing their vows. And if you didn't know, and the shovel.

It's, it was a Shrek. That's me in the Shuffling. It was a Shrek themed vow renewal. Let's flip through some of the photos, Jack, if we could. It's not. You love Shrek. Hey.

Everyone got dressed up. Trevor. I tried too many. Too many. Too many. Hi, honey. She's got the suit on. because she's really getting into the character.

Blushing, dried. Look at that. The cake on the cake. Brett, we're just so happy that you could tell the world and shut it from the mountaintop. Your love for the shoveler is alive and healthy as ever.

Proud that you let all this out. That'll do, donkey. That'll do. That's your Pinder Report on. Village Honda, your dealership for life, for whatever reason, sponsors your Pinder Report.

Village Honda. dot com. That's being the shoveler. They really got into it, into character. That's nice. Yeah, that's nice. Jack. Dean.

Hearing loss clinic last week brought us a nice little prize pack, a bottle of wine and a Raspas Anderson jersey. We put it on Instagram. We said, hey, here's what you need to do. Go to Instagram. You got to follow us. You got to follow hearing loss. Then on Monday, you, you, you, you, You check all the boxes.

You do everything. All the hoops. Skills question. We are going to pick a winner on Monday. What's the status? I have a winner. I was trying to get Ryan to pick a winner, but he was,

it would have taken him forever. I can't do it. I just feel there's too much responsibility. Someone has to do it random or just spin it and put a finger down. I don't want people accuse me of picking a friend or something. Right. Yeah. You had like a little drum roll or something.

The winner is Jeff. Oh boy. Jeff. Garristing. What? G-E-R-E-S-T-E-I-N. Gerstein. Gerstein.

Congratulations. I will message you, bud. Nice. Congratulations on the wine and the jersey. Rasmus Anderson. Three assists in that game against the Islanders, by the way, if you need it. Pick him up. Without Wigger, what did he do?

Step up. Mm-hmm. Sounds like Wigger's going to play tomorrow. Yeah, there was not a huge amount of concern over the injury. He took, I think, nine minutes of the warm up on Saturday before not playing. Nine. And it was a lot of Miramanov, Pahal, Hanley Bean. Yeah.

But they pulled it out. Oh, I wanted a ret whiteboard on the one goal. It doesn't matter, Dean. It's that time of year where it's just wins and losses. It's not about how you get it done. Burn the tape. We move on. Why were they that bad?

What goal? No. It was the, I think it was the first goal where you're talking to the Islanders game. Yeah. We don't have that, do we, Jack? Sorry, I know you're doing the, you're trying to spell last names. Gerstein. Do we have any of the goals from the Islander game?

I can grab them. I think it's the first goal of the game. I believe. Who scored the first one? The Islanders. Thanks. Not that Gatcomb. That was an interesting name.

Gatcomb. Take a look. The Barzell, I got it? No, Don't hear his name much. Well, he's out. He's heard, didn't they? It's not just back of the score.

It was Horvatt that, uh, that, uh, was Horvettes. That's, uh, what day was it Saturday, right? Sunday. What day was this day? Saturday. Saturday. Saturday.

Saturday. Saturday. Horvette. Horvat was the one off of the, you know, it would be the gatcomb maybe. That was the cat comb. Yeah, it's the gatcom goal. Because the Horvats just kind of a shitty bounce off of a leg right to wide open net top shelf.

It's the Mark Getcom. Two one goal. Nice to hear you. Whoever Mark Gatcom is. Young man is. Because you know how I love Warner's whiteboard?

Just to get the, you being a former NHL defenseman, you can take us into the moment and what the defense would be thinking at any particular time. If they do something, so what that reaction there, that split second So what's the, what's the thinking behind that?

Because I mean, we didn't play. How the hell are we supposed to know? Thank you, Jack. So 24, right here, Jake Bean. Closest to you. Yeah, right there by the West Jet. That's fake. They don't have a West Jet ad in Long Island.

So where's he going? I forgot that guy was there. I'm just wondering. So, okay, Merrill, I'm going to come over and hang out with you. I want to pose. Joe. No, no, no, no. There's a puck over there. There is a puck over there. I'll be damned if I'm not going to have.

Go get her. He wants it. Is that what? Yes. That's all. Yeah. And I agree with them. And then the guy, uh, that's a Maxim Ciplochoff. He says, I don't want the puck anymore. I'm going to give it to Mark Gatcombe. That is legitimately Vladimir Sipf's. Yeah. Who I played with Buffalo. Sipper. So is that what you do there, Rhett? No. Or do you just kind of stay. I feel like you hold, keep your ground. The middle of it.

How's the gap? Hold your ice. Are you happy with the gap there? That's fine. Okay. Stick length or two. And then, yeah, I'm gonna wear it. Oh, shoot.

It's like your dog seeing a squirrel when you're at the, up for a walk. He's got excited. You know what? Yeah. Yeah. He's trying to get into game. But then he realizes,

as you see, he's doing one of those. He does the look to the ceiling. my guy. Whoopsy Daisy. I think that's the universal sign for whoopsie Daisy is the, uh, Warner's whiteboard.

Only here. Mm-hmm. On Barnburner. I don't know if anyone needed a whiteboard. I wonder if Husk showed him that on. I don't think he did. Yeah. Again,

don't have we needed it. Yeah. You know what you. Yeah. Jake. Yeah. I know. Sorry.

I told me that up. I guess it happens. Odd, though. the easiest thing to do there would have been. Stay still. Just stay. Hold the middle. Men, tense times.

You teed it up earlier. Oh, man. And it has, sometimes you're disappointed when, say, in sports, if you get a playoff round and it kind of leaves you lacking. Ah, it wasn't really great. Blowouts and whatever.

But what will happen sometimes is if you don't have thrilling upsets and the powerhouse teams make it through. It sets up legendary matchups moving forward. And that is where we sit with the elite eight of the Barnberger candy bracket. We had essentially blowouts across the board in round one. So soak it up, Rhett. We had the play-in round, made no difference.

Cola bottles and fuzzy peaches. They took on the dinosaurs and the blue whales, just slobber knockers. Really? All of the lower-seeded candies were soundly beaten. Not even one within 100 votes. Yeah. What was our closest one?

Like the cherry blasters? Or the Twizzlers? Or no, it was the ranchers, maybe. I thought it was Mike and Ike near the end. Yeah, it was the Mike. Went lopsided for the Sour Patch kids. I'm nervous. There's a lot of expectation now.

The number one seed cola bottles advance. they'll take on nibs. Jack was very upset last week that the jolly ranchers. Ranchers got screwed. That's what he said. I could see that one. That's got to be a tight. And it wasn't in the end,

right? Jack, you were upset with the nibbs? Yeah, no, it wasn't close at all. I'll pull up the thing in a second where we'll see all the votes again. But no, it wasn't close at all. Yeah. I don't, what are we doing? What are we doing? What's this round's best matchup? I have, I'm sorry to this fuzzy pizza. She's unreal.

Gummy bears, kids. Like, I love, yeah. You know, the thing about gummy bears kids feels like old school, new school a little bit. Yep, 100%. Which is not to say the younger demographics don't eat gummy bears. I, my daughter and a friend went to an ice cream place a couple weekends ago. Gummy bears. One of the first things they put in there in their little softy ice cream deal.

Can I comment on that? Sure. It's a terrible decision when they do that. Because the gummy bears freeze. They get rock hard. I don't like that at all. Yeah, they get rock hard. It's sprinkles.

You don't want to get gummy bears. Carry on, Dean. Um, I have no idea four or five Swedish berries versus Skittles. I want to, I just want to be at that event. I think, yeah, we should, Dean's, you've got like a monochrome soft candy against the multicolored hard sheld candy. There's no confusing these two. Mm-hmm.

No confusion. Cola bottles nibs. It's a strand licorice type candy against a very chewy. Sometimes they chop them up. Yeah. That's true. Yeah, that's true. But the cola bottles, Jack has not even, we'll have it done this week.

I'll bring in the candies. Yeah, let's get on it. You've never had it or it's been so long since you've had cola bottles that you don't even. I might have put it in my five cent candy thing at max. I want to pick a favorite, like not one favorite, but favorite matchup that I want to watch the most. and I can't even do that. Yeah. So with the cream of the cream.

That's what we're left with here. Started with 18, if you think about the playing round. The cream rise to the top. The fuzzy peaches, sour soothers. Great matchup. If you like one, you probably really like the other. That's a tough vote. That is.

One's on the sweeter end. One is purely sour, but it's a candy. The peach is obviously softer, but both are kind of a sugar or they're a covered, a covered a covered snack you had a bowl of each right

you know what you're doing you're doing one of these with the bag at the end yeah and gummy bear sour patch kids probably the sour even more so than the sour

so than the soursuiters the sourest candy of the bracket really you think sour than the sours I do okay we're going to have to do some research

this week voting's open now jazz stuff yes it's open all right and how would people vote Jack. Well, it is on the website.

Flamesnation.com.com. Very easy to Google. I'll put it in the chat. It's going to be the description. And once you get to the website on the front page, doesn't want me to let me click it for some reason. It's okay. There we go. Front page article. Right here. You can read

this article that I read. wrote. Yeah. Definitely wrote that. Definitely wrote all of this. Good work, Jack. Nice punctuation, Jack. And then you can click on the link here. Oh, baby. Boom. Switch it again. Any, is it too soon to early favorites? Any predictions? I think it's Skittles is here. I just have that feeling. I felt it right from when the bracket was being formed. It just feels like skills year. That's all I'm saying. Or for this round, I guess. any i'm a i'm a fuzzy peaches guy myself but that matchup they have is it's hell on earth yeah

stuff i worry with this i mean i'm kind of with you it's hard sir this day look i i i'm fine if skittles gets i would rather emotion not play in if you truly are a swedish berry fan but you're going to vote skittles because of something else i that's fine i guess I would just be true to yourself. Or maybe you were so moved that it has actually changed your candy habits. Well, the problem with that is that, again, put the bowls down in front of me and tell me which one I'm supposed to eat more to. Yeah.

That's your question. Like, maybe we need to do that exercise right here. I'll be here tomorrow. I love that. I love that. Okay. Yep. Yeah, the Bears kids is interesting.

It is old school, new school. Yeah. Jackie, you know, vote here for us? Or what are you doing? He's just showing us how you click on it and then you click vote. And the nice thing about this, Rhett, is the voters. There's no kind of, they don't get to see where the vote is at. No.

They vote and it's blind until we tell them, I guess what, Friday morning? Yeah, Friday morning. On the show. I love the updated. Minus Pinder. Final four. I'll be here Friday. Will you?

Yeah. I thought you were Thursday Friday. Wednesday, Thursday. All right. Yeah. Let you hang with noodles on Wednesday. Love them. We're spring break in here, eh?

Yeah. Kids are out. Teachers need time. Where did they ever? It's two months in the summer, not enough, I'm guessing. There's lots of emotions. I mean, high chews got robbed. They didn't even.

Yeah, you know, look, I mean, here's the thing. Everyone's got a favorite, but there's only eight left. And I feel like it's the right eight. Like, I'm a wine gums guy. They didn't get in the tournament. No big deal. They wouldn't have got to the eight. Wine gums.

Yeah. You can tell your wife, 1HQ, that those Swedish berries, that's beautiful. Little Reds. Who does the same is play tomorrow? I don't. Google it.

I'll tell you tomorrow. You got to listen. You got to listen in. I'll play today. For tomorrow's info on tomorrow's game. That's right. We'll have it. Tomorrow's show.

It's a game day. Bet 365, breaking news coming in from Bet365. Every nail biting overtime win as a barn burner, every face off, hat trick, power play, shot on goal, penalty shot. every suspenseful minute in between is amazing.

download the Bet365 app today and use Code Nation to get in on the game. Must be 19 or older. Please play responsibly. Ow! Yeah. Four games tonight. We talked about them. True.

We're going to chase some hot defensemen. Zach Werenski, 19 shots his last three games. that's a heater. He's going to get some Norris votes. He might even get some MVP love this year. MVP? He's been that good for Columbus. I thought he was terrible.

Where was he before? He's been there his whole career, I believe. Oh. But definitely a career year for him, which is, I don't think anyone stopped coming to your point. Just like the whole Columbus thing. Four plus shots on net, pays one fit, plus 150. And Quinn Hughes has been absolutely carrying the Canucks on his own.

Oh, nine shots last game, Dean. I'll take your word for it. I'm going to go with four or more plus 265. Big game hunting some defenseman shot totes. Bet 365. There you go. Ever ordinary. Elias Pedersen injured in the game on Saturday.

Which one? The forward. Oh, shoot. Not expected to play. Holglander injured, not expected to play. But Thatcher Demko. maybe playing in this game tonight. Is he going to get hurt?

I mean, we did this whole song and dance. How many times now? Did you tell me someone got hurt that I'd be interested in? Hurt, interest. Well, you've been vocal about Patterson. Me? No, him. I was talking about the Sabres.

Oh, I saw. Oh, Josh Norris got hurt coming over after the Cousins trade. Yeah. I mean, all you can do is laugh about it. Sabre's going to saber. It's all you can do. Yeah, that's all you can do. and as no super today.

No super. People are wondering where Frank is. Where's Frank? Don't worry about it. Why does Frank hate us? I never paid my debt, maybe. You didn't, eh? Three years of whiskey.

What's the interest on that? More whiskey. Yeah. More more. Peat it. Yeah, tomorrow is the cracking. We did. Can the flames keep it rolling?

Three straight victories. They have their destiny in their own hands. Biggest game of the year. Biggest game of the year. Since January in St. Louis. Yeah. What does it get, Bigotty.
