Advertise on podcast: Barn Burner: Boomer & Pinder with Rhett Warrener

Kevin Bahl is done for the season, and the Calgary Flames have a massive hole to fill on their blue line. Boomer and Rhett are joined by Pat Steinberg to discuss the devastating news that Bahl suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and will require season-ending surgery. The 26-year-old was playing some of the best hockey of his career, leading Calgary in ice time at 21:56 per game through 16 appearances and earning praise from Ryan Huska as the team's best player to start the season. But with Bahl now sidelined, why haven't we seen Hunter Brzustewicz get the call? The young defenceman has a goal and six assists with the Calgary Wranglers and is playing significant minutes in the AHL, yet the Flames opted to recall Brayden Pachal instead. Shouldn't this be the perfect opportunity to see what Brzustewicz can do at the NHL level? The boys discuss Calgary's decision, whether keeping Hunter in the AHL is actually better for his development and what it will take for him to finally get his chance. With Bahl out for the year, how much longer should the Flames wait?

This is becoming a nightmare for Calgary Flames fans. Boomer, Rhett and Jack take a look at the Edmonton Oilers, and as much as it pains them to admit it, the Oilers are really friggin' good. Connor McDavid is putting up ridiculous numbers, Edmonton is sitting atop the Western Conference, and the team Flames fans love to hate is looking like a legitimate Stanley Cup contender. The boys would love nothing more than to see the Oilers fall apart, but it's getting harder to ignore just how dangerous this team has become. With McDavid playing at another level and Edmonton looking capable of beating just about anybody, the unthinkable is starting to feel a little too realistic. Could the Oilers actually win the Stanley Cup and give Calgary Flames fans their absolute worst nightmare? Boomer, Rhett and Jack reluctantly give Edmonton its flowers while desperately hoping this doesn't end with a parade up north.

Pat Steinberg joins Boomer, Pinder and Rhett on Barn Burner for another edition of The Insider Hotline! The Calgary Flames are finally having some fun, but the news surrounding Kevin Bahl has put a damper on things. With Bahl out for the remainder of the season, the boys discuss who could step into his role, whether Hunter Brzustewicz is ready for a bigger opportunity and what the injury means for Calgary's blue line. Pat also provides updates on Sam Honzek's potential return, weighs in on Arsenii Suniev and Morgan Frost, and discusses Castagna's development. With Jonathan Huberdeau eventually returning to the lineup, the Flames will have some difficult decisions to make about who comes out. From the team's recent success to the young players pushing for opportunities, there's plenty to unpack in Calgary.

Introducing Rhett's Morning Skate! Rhett Warrener is trying something new on Barn Burner, using AI to take Boomer, Pinder and Bobby Germany through everything that happened across the sports world over the weekend. The Calgary Flames are coming off a 4-3 overtime win against the Philadelphia Flyers, with Matt Coronato scoring the winner, Joel Farabee delivering a shorthanded goal and Devin Cooley making 32 saves. Around the NFL, Sunday was packed with big games, surprising results and plenty to talk about. Over in the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers picked up a 121-116 win over the Detroit Pistons, the Boston Celtics beat the Milwaukee Bucks 117-97 and the Dallas Mavericks cruised past the Brooklyn Nets 130-93. From the NHL to the NFL, NBA and everything in between, Rhett attempts to get everyone caught up on the weekend in sports with a little help from artificial intelligence. What could possibly go wrong? Video Link: https://youtu.be/FqD9JI3zLho #nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #calgaryflames Hosted on Acast.

SO SOFT?! Boomer, Bobby Germany and Rhett Warrener react to the New Jersey Devils' statement explaining why Connor Hellebuyck won't play against the Winnipeg Jets in his highly anticipated return to Winnipeg. According to Devils GM Sunny Mehta, Hellebuyck was adamant about playing Tuesday's game against his former team, but the organization decided to keep him out because it believed playing him could reduce New Jersey's chances of winning. Seriously?! After everything Hellebuyck meant to Winnipeg, the boys can't believe the Devils are taking this approach to his return. Is this really about giving New Jersey the best chance to win, or is the organization overthinking what should be a special moment for one of the NHL's biggest goaltending stars? Boomer, Bobby and Rhett don't hold back as they debate the decision, the message it sends and whether the Devils are being way too soft.

Absolutely brutal news for the Calgary Flames. Boomer, Bobby Germany and Rhett Warrener react to Sunday's announcement that Kevin Bahl will miss the remainder of the 2026-27 NHL season after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon that requires surgery. The 26-year-old defenceman was off to a tremendous start, establishing himself alongside Šimon Nemec on Calgary's top defensive pairing and leading the team with an average of 21:56 of ice time through 16 games. Bahl had recorded a goal and an assist, but his impact went well beyond the scoresheet, with the Flames controlling 58.68% of the five-on-five high-danger scoring chances while he was on the ice. Head coach Ryan Huska even described Bahl as Calgary's best player so far this season. And the worst part? The injury happened during warmups before Friday's game against the Anaheim Ducks. Just an awful break for a guy who was playing some of the best hockey of his career. The boys discuss what Bahl's absence means for the Flames' blue line, who can possibly replace his minutes and how Calgary moves forward without one of its most important defencemen.

Sean Avery joins Boomer, Pinder and Rhett Warrener on Barn Burner and doesn't hold back when the conversation turns to the Calgary Flames. "WTF has Craig Conroy done to that team?" Avery questions the direction of the organization and what exactly Calgary is trying to accomplish. But is he looking at the Flames the same way people in Calgary are? After years of being stuck somewhere in the middle, the organization has finally embraced building for the future, and plenty of Flames fans believe Conroy has done a good job setting that process in motion. From the outside, though, it's easy to look at the standings and wonder how things have gotten this bad. The boys discuss Avery's criticism, the difference between how the rebuild is viewed locally and around the NHL, and whether Conroy deserves more credit for the direction he's taking the team. Does Avery actually have a point, or are the Flames finally doing what they should've done years ago?

Sean Avery joins Boomer, Pinder and Rhett Warrener on The Insider Hotline for a conversation that covers just about everything happening around the NHL and a few things that have absolutely nothing to do with hockey. The boys get into Nikita Kucherov's uncertain future with the Tampa Bay Lightning, The Edmonton Oilers & Mike Babcock before turning their attention to the Calgary Flames and his thoughts on the Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks, plus the situation surrounding the Detroit Red Wings. They also catch up on Avery's podcast, his Odyssey project and a ridiculous story involving one of his neighbours. It's a little hockey, a little chaos and plenty of classic Sean Avery as the boys bounce between NHL storylines and whatever else comes up!

What the hell has happened to the Philadelphia Flyers?! Boomer, Pinder and Rhett Warrener dive into the Flyers' disastrous start to the 2026-27 NHL season, just months after Philadelphia finished 43-27-12, made the Stanley Cup Playoffs and knocked out the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round. Now the Flyers are sitting at 4-9-4 through 17 games, last in the Metropolitan Division, with just 12 points and a minus-20 goal differential. They've scored only 37 goals while allowing 57, and their 16.7% power play hasn't helped matters either. So how does a team go from winning a playoff round to looking this bad? With players like Matvei Michkov, Travis Konecny, Trevor Zegras, Owen Tippett and young prospect Porter Martone, is there enough talent in Philadelphia to turn things around, or did last season give everyone unrealistic expectations? The boys discuss what GM Daniel Brière should do next, whether the Flyers need to rethink their direction and how much pressure should be on head coach Rick Tocchet. Could Tocchet actually find himself on the hot seat this early, or are Philadelphia's problems much bigger than the guy behind the bench?

What exactly do the Calgary Flames have in Šimon Nemec? Boomer, Pinder and Rhett Warrener take a closer look at the 22-year-old defenceman, with Boomer admitting he's still not entirely sure what kind of player Nemec is going to be. Calgary paid a significant price to acquire the former second-overall pick from the New Jersey Devils, sending two conditional first-round picks, a second-round pick and defensive prospect Étienne Morin the other way in a deal that also brought Maxim Tsyplakov to the Flames. Nemec is coming off an 11-goal, 26-point season in 68 games with New Jersey and signed a five-year, $36.25 million contract with Calgary carrying a $7.25 million annual cap hit. That's a pretty serious investment in a young defenceman who's still trying to establish exactly what he is at the NHL level. Has Nemec shown enough since arriving in Calgary? Are the expectations simply too high because of his draft pedigree and the assets the Flames gave up? The boys debate what they've liked about his game, where he needs to improve and whether he can eventually become the impact defenceman Calgary believes it acquired.

Has the relationship between Nikita Kucherov and the Tampa Bay Lightning officially reached the point of no return? Boomer, Pinder and Rhett Warrener react to some revealing comments from Kucherov's agent, Dan Milstein, on the DFO Insider podcast with Jeff Marek and David Pagnotta. Milstein made it pretty clear that things have gone horribly wrong between Kucherov and the organization, and that it's time to move on when the season ends. The 33-year-old superstar is playing out the final year of his eight-year, $76 million contract, carrying a $9.5 million cap hit before becoming an unrestricted free agent on July 1, 2027. And we're not talking about just anybody here. Kucherov is coming off a ridiculous 130-point season, has won two Stanley Cups with Tampa Bay and recently passed Steven Stamkos as the franchise's all-time leading scorer. So what the hell happened?! Lightning GM Julien BriseBois insists the team has no intention of trading him, but can they really afford to let a player of this calibre walk away for nothing? The boys discuss whether Tampa Bay could change its stance before the NHL trade deadline, how Kucherov can continue playing for a team he apparently plans to leave and whether there's any realistic chance of repairing this relationship. One thing seems increasingly clear: unless something changes dramatically, Kucherov's days in Tampa Bay are numbered.
