On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined by Eric Francis for another edition of the Eric Francis Hour! As the quiet offseason for the Flames continues, Pat and Eric discuss what might happen between now and the draft. They talk about what the packages are for the Flames to potentially move up into the top 3 and why it could be a good move for the team as they transition from the Saddledome to Scotia Place. The conversations shifts on to the topic wingers and how players like Huberdeau, Zary and Sharangovich are caught in the logjam and need to have their roles figured out before the season starts. (29:48) Pat and Eric talk about Edmonton, Vancouver, and Toronto and debate which team can be considered the biggest mess right now, while also touching on Macklin Celebrini being named captain for Team Canada over Sidney Crosby at the World Championships, and Eric taking off to Denver for the Western Conference Final.

On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined by Eric Francis for another edition of the Eric Francis Hour! Following the draft lottery results that saw Calgary slide to number six, Pat and Eric discuss the sting of seeing Toronto and San Jose jump into the top two spots. They debate the feasibility of moving up from six and why fans should expect Craig Conroy to try and make a significant splash at the draft in June. Eric also shares some personal stories from his recent trip to Ireland and offers his perspective on why the draft lottery remains one of the most entertaining, albeit gut-wrenching, nights on the NHL calendar. (30:58) After Eric dives into the details on his recent trip to Ireland, the guys shift their focus to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, where the Montreal Canadiens and Anaheim Ducks have both advanced to the second round. Pat explains why these results are a massive win for the "pro-rebuild" camp in Calgary, providing tangible evidence that a patient, high-draft-pick strategy can lead to post-season success. They also discuss why the Flames must remain committed to this path, even if it means another difficult season in the standings next year to secure another high-end asset.

On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined by Eric Francis for another edition of the Eric Francis Hour! Pat and Eric reflect on the reality of the Flames being mathematically eliminated for the fourth consecutive year. While the postseason is out of reach, the guys argue why this is anything but a "lost season." From the emergence of Devin Cooley and Hunter Brzustewicz to the leadership of Mikael Backlund during a total roster overhaul, they identify the silver linings that suggest the "mushy middle" is finally in the rearview mirror. (31:58) The conversation continues with a deeper look at the Flames' recent signing spree. With Wiebe, Gross, and Castagna all locked up, the guys discuss the growing confidence in the front office's ability to recruit and sign their top collegiate prospects. They look at the remaining "to-do" list for Conroy—including the status of Ethan Wyttenbach and Cole Reschny—and explain why the next few months will be critical for the trajectory of this rebuild.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Media Inc. or any affiliate. https://www.sportsnet.ca/960/flames-talk/Get full Flames games and great shows like Quick 60: The Stamps Show, Wranglers Watch and more ON DEMAND.

The full notes and charts are here.I can't get a sense of whether this will scale up. It keeps seeming like it has to; like this is the Achilles heel. I am not getting why it's being made so obvious that he's into pre-teens and underage teenagers right in front of everyone's faces; this is obviously a form of moral torture. The disclosures that Jon Stewart pulled together in July were vexing, including deposition testimony and comments on Howard Stern indicating that a girl 12-years-old was too young but that was his limit. He said this ON AIR in the studio.Stewart pulled this together in July; I saw it about two weeks ago. He is sourcing his documents. I lean toward trusting Jon Stewart as he was the one public presenter, though retired at the time, to question the covid shots, on the Colbert show, and Steve understandably did not appear happy about that. Notably Comedy Central and CBS are now part of the same company (Paramount). Black Rock, State Street and Vanguard all hold large portions of Paramount. So all the “hedge fund parties” are represented here. Well, except for Blackstone.---I assume those who are stage managing the Epstein scenario are the same ones that did Kirk and Butler. (I think the evidence is strong that Erika Frantzve Kirk's nonprofit was involved in child trafficking, though it really was hers in name only.) The three emails (released by Democrats in congress) are here, including one from a political strategy discussion with author Michal Wolff (who allegedly received Epstein's final message before his claimed 2019 death and who wrote three books about Trump claiming Epstein as a cloaked source).From this email you can see the strategy that surrounds Epstein and his handlers, which is kompromat, a Stalin-era KGB word for “compromising material.” That seemed to be the whole Epstein game. But I suspect there is far more; that Epstein is the coverup and not the crime.So the question is, does this pan out? The astrology says this is the thing that ultimately will. Under the rules of litigation and investigative journalism, the emails are primary source materials reportedly released by a government authority and presumed to be authentic; but that is a legal presumption. It can be challenged but it's difficult to refute.Here is the follow up story about 20,000 emails released by Republicans a few hours later. This seems like a pissing match to see who will ultimately take him out.Thank you for visiting. You are listening to Planet Waves.
